Chapter 561 The Final Calculation Of Candle Dragon
- Upon hearing the name "dioxin," a shiver ran down my spine. Memories from high school flooded back, recalling an extracurricular book that detailed the devastating effects of this substance.
- The book recounted a dark chapter from the Vietnam War, where American soldiers struggled in jungle warfare. To gain an advantage, an American businessman introduced a pesticide known as "Agent Orange," which was aerially sprayed on the battlefield. The aftermath was catastrophic; the jungle vegetation perished, and the pesticide contained a high concentration of "dioxin."
- The repercussions were severe, affecting both Vietnamese civilians and American soldiers. Diseases ranging from cancer to terminal illnesses plagued those exposed, with subsequent generations suffering deformities. Experts later revealed that releasing 80 grams of dioxin into a city's water supply could result in the deaths of 800,000 people, earning dioxin the title of the "poison of the century."
