Chapter 952: Chapter 385: Stillborn_2 Chapter 952: Chapter 385: Stillborn_2 “Dream Island” said, “According to my analysis, after installing the mobile assistant, the user experience of their smartphones will see a significant improvement over the original baseline. However, without hardware enhancement and support, their smartphones still cannot pose any threat to us; at most, they will slow down the rapid decline in their smartphone sales.”

Only then did Yan Fei feel relieved. Dream Island now holds an absolute lead in hardware advantage. As long as Dream Island does not supply the competitors with hardware equipment, it is impossible for their performance and user experience to surpass China's smartphones. Therefore, even though Apple Inc. and Simsung Company, these two former giants, rarely joined forces to develop a new smartphone feature, it was merely a last-ditch effort.

In the following days, Lu Pingping and Director Yan, representing China's epidemic prevention efforts, began to cooperate and officially announced a new type of virus named “Invader,” which was the true culprit behind the outbreak in China that caused the death of a large number of foreign canine species. However, to avoid causing panic, Dream Island did not inform the public that the “Invader” virus was actually a mutant strain of the Ebola Virus.

It was only after a detailed interpretation of the “Invader” virus that the public became aware of the infection route of the “Invader” virus and why it was effective only against foreign canine species. However, most people were not overly concerned after learning about the “Invader” virus, because this entirely new virus posed no danger to humans and other organisms. The only susceptible hosts were canine species other than the Chinese pastoral dog, and most people did not own pet dogs, rendering the virus meaningless to them.

Still, the announcement of the “Invader” virus quickly caused panic among families with pet dogs because, in their hearts, their pet dogs had become a part of the family and held an equal status to humans. During this time of family panic, the “Invader” virus, which had been contained within a narrow range domestically, once again spiraled out of control, spreading rapidly to a broader area and causing a large number of pet dogs to become infected with the deadly virus.

Fortunately, Yan Fei had anticipated this situation and had the mini-production workshop produce a large amount of the defense vaccine, which was delivered to the domestic market in the shortest time possible. Families that raised pet dogs could buy immunity against the “Invader” virus by spending 2,000 RMB for three shots of the preventive vaccine, thus acquiring the necessary antibodies.

As dog-owning families were gripped by fear, they suddenly discovered the preventive vaccine released by Dream Island. Although they found the vaccine costly, considering it could save their pet dogs' lives, they hesitated but soon brought their pet dogs to the pet hospital for vaccination. Thus, even though this outbreak of the “Invader” virus was wider and more aggressive, not many foreign canine species died as a result.

These families did not know that “Invader” was a mutated version of the Ebola Virus, nor were they aware that Dream Island set the vaccine's price so high to make a profit, with production costs being almost zero. Instead, some dog-owning families thought that Dream Island's timely invention of the vaccine saved their pet dogs' lives, so they specially made a banner with the words: “Thank you, miraculous doctor, for saving our dog!” This banner was sent to Dream Island as a token of their gratitude.

After the “Invader” virus caused a major outbreak within China, its impact finally began to wane following the official release of Dream Island's vaccine. Gradually, no one paid attention to this strange, virulent virus anymore. Since the virus caused no harm to humans and other organisms, and foreign canine species would not get reinfected after being vaccinated, people started to accept the existence of the virus, treating it like any other virus in the air, completely free from their previous fear.

Countries around the world that had initially watched China's plight with schadenfreude, hoping to see the country in despair over the outbreak of the “Invader” virus, did not expect Dream Island to decode the virus so quickly and release a preventive vaccine in time, perfectly resolving the viral incident. This turn of events greatly disappointed those countries and organizations with ulterior motives.

The “Invader” virus may have been overcome by China, but its spread did not slow down, quickly reaching overseas from domestic regions. In just over a week, the “Invader” virus spread through various routes to other parts of Asia, Europe, the Americas, and around the world. “Invader” began to wreak havoc globally, causing the death of numerous pet dogs.

It was only after seeing their countries start to suffer from the torment of the “Invader” virus that these nations' families with pet dogs began to panic. They urgently contacted Dream Island to import its preventive vaccine to save their pet dogs. Dream Island's sole purpose was to make money, and seeing people actively seeking them out, they readily agreed to sell the preventive vaccine to these countries. The price of the vaccine skyrocketed overseas; it was still 2,000 in currency, but the currency had changed to US Dollars, allowing Dream Island to make a hefty profit.

As Yang Qi had analyzed, the “Invader” virus could only exist for two years. Two years later, the “Invader” virus would vanish from the world, but by then, no one would be researching the virus anymore, and naturally, no one would notice its disappearance. Although the price of 2,000 US Dollars was steep, preventing some people with limited financial strength from continuing to own pet dogs, most families were still willing to pay the 2,000 US Dollars for the vaccine's cost.
