A disease began to spread in the island nation.

This disease is not fatal once transmitted, but people infected with it, regardless of gender, will lose their fertility.

A disease that will truly end your family lineage.

What’s even more outrageous is…

This disease only infects people of Japanese descent. Foreign tourists in Japan are all immune to this disease.

In the early stages of the disease’s spread, the islanders did not notice anything unusual.

The initial symptoms of infection are extremely mild and difficult to detect.

Just a low-grade fever, mild tiredness or a temporary loss of appetite.

This has led many people to mistakenly believe that it is just a seasonal cold.

However, as the number of cases gradually increased, some common phenomena began to emerge.

The chain of transmission between infected people is highly concentrated, and almost every infected person has island ancestry, while foreign tourists are “lucky” to have no abnormalities.

Major hospitals were overcrowded for weeks, but no specific cause could be determined.

For a time, the medical community on the island and abroad fell into great chaos and anxiety.

Kenji Takahashi, chief physician at the National Institute of Medicine of Japan, disclosed to the media:
Although the symptoms were mild, the potential for long-term effects was suspected, and this warning was not taken seriously enough.

It was not until the third week after the disease spread that the truth gradually surfaced when a group of young couples went to the hospital for infertility tests.

People were skeptical about this claim at first, but after medical reports confirmed it one after another, panic spread rapidly like a plague.

The island nation quickly mobilized resources and convened top scientists to conduct an investigation, but the results were disappointing.

This disease has an extremely complex molecular structure, like a product of God that has been designed with high precision.

It can pinpoint the genetic characteristics of island ancestry, and will cause infected people to lose their fertility regardless of their age, gender or health status.

The island nation’s top virologist, Haruka Sakurai, believes the disease is most likely a man-made biological weapon.

However, there was no clue as to the source of the disease, and all conventional investigative methods were thwarted.

Although the international community expressed concern, many people secretly gloated over the disaster.

An unprecedented crisis broke out in the island nation.

An air of desperation permeated the streets, supermarkets and pharmacies were emptied of supplies by panic buying, and many families began hoarding food in an attempt to flee the city.

The Emperor’s several crisis public relations failed to quell public anger, and protests spread from Tokyo to major cities on the island.

“The cabinet must give us an explanation!”

“We don’t want to be extinct!”

Angry voices filled the streets and people on the island held up banners.

However, the more cruel reality is that most people have begun to accept the fact that they are powerless to change their fate.

Temples and shrines are more popular than ever before, and believers pray to the gods in every possible way.

The cabinet held dozens of emergency meetings to try to cope with this unprecedented disaster.

However, faced with this disease that precisely attacks genes, all biomedical experts seem helpless.

Even though the island nation sent virus samples to several top laboratories around the world for analysis, no one could come up with an effective solution.

The infection rate soared to 99.7% within a month. Even those who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests began to show symptoms of infection.

The international community’s response to disasters in island nations is complex.

Some countries, such as the United States, issued statements expressing “concern about the humanitarian crisis”, but they were limited to verbal support.

At the same time, there are starkly different attitudes among Asian neighbors.

Some even regard it as a kind of karma.

Behind all this chaos, Jiang Huai looked down at the entire island country from a mosquito’s perspective, with no ripples in his heart.

“I will never have any children or grandchildren in my life.” Jiang Huai murmured to himself, and then turned into a blurry black shadow and disappeared into the night.

……

After imposing sanctions on Xiaoxian, Jianghuai came to South Korea again.

The capital of South Korea is bustling with activity, and the streets are filled with the aroma of barbecue and Korean fried chicken.

But on a quiet spring day, everything began to change quietly.

The disease began to spread in South Korea.

Some people suddenly find that their voice becomes hoarse or even disappears completely during daily conversations.

Most of these patients are young people and have no other discomfort symptoms.

Doctors in South Korea initially thought it was just common laryngitis, possibly related to excessive use of the voice or air pollution.

However, things quickly turned weird.

In just a few weeks, the number of patients surged.

Not only did they lose the ability to speak, they were unable to even make the most basic sounds.

All foreign tourists in South Korea are immune to this disease.

What’s even more frightening is that this disease is hereditary.

The offspring of the infected are all born mute without exception, having completely lost the function of their vocal organs.

South Korea quickly declared a public health emergency and set up multiple quarantine points.

However, the spread of the mute disease was much faster than they expected.

On social media and in the news media.

Muteness became a hot topic, and people began to discuss it crazily and spread various speculations:

“Is it a new biological weapon?”

“Could it be a punishment from aliens for our bloodline?”

“This is God’s punishment for us!”

As the epidemic spread, hospitals in South Korea were overwhelmed with patients and doctors were helpless.

They were horrified to discover that the disease’s infection mechanism was completely untraceable.

It seems to bypass all known immune defenses of the human body and precisely attack the human vocal system, and all this is limited to people with Korean ancestry.

The foreign tourists were unharmed.

South Korea’s plight quickly attracted the attention of the international community.

The World Health Organization took the lead in issuing a statement, expressing its willingness to provide medical assistance and sending a team of experts to assist.

However, when these experts from the World Health Organization witnessed the symptoms firsthand, they were powerless to do anything.

More and more people in South Korea are losing the ability to speak.

The streets became unusually quiet, and the scenes of people protesting were like a pantomime, with only angry gestures and banners silently telling of their pain.

Further research by scientists revealed the horrifying truth:
Not only is muteness hereditary, it also completely destroys the developmental ability of the vocal organs of the infected person’s offspring through deep genetic changes.

Children born to infected people are born without vocal cords.

What’s even more terrifying is that in experiments, these children’s genes showed complete resistance to existing gene editing technology.

In other words, the impact of this virus on people of Korean descent is permanent.

As the truth was revealed, South Korea fell into panic.

Those who were not infected began to stockpile food frantically.

However, the transmission method of muteness remains a mystery, and no conclusive evidence has been found whether it is through air, water or food. (End of this chapter)
