Pollution throughout the territory - #322 - Chapter 318 Activating the Level 3 Plan

“What does it mean?”

Tombs, spires… completely incomprehensible. Only the words “wingless worm” attracted Xia Ren’s attention.

He was keenly aware that what the little girl said was probably related to the white worm parasitic in Zhao Rou’s dream, and wanted to continue listening, but the little girl had stopped talking and returned to her dull puppet-like appearance.

Just like other patients, he could also feel a very slight smell of pollution on the little girl. With the other patient’s symptoms, he should also be suffering from atypical insect phobia, but Xia Ren always felt that there seemed to be something different about the girl. , although she sat cross-legged quietly, she vaguely gave herself a feeling of danger.

Niu Changshou thought for a long time, but he couldn’t find a situation in his head that matched the little girl’s symptoms. There was no damage to the body, so why was he only losing consciousness?

“What about her previous medical records? Is there anything suspicious about it?”

The vice president shook his head and said: “According to the description of the family members, Patient No. 3 has always been healthy and rarely gets sick… By the way, in June this year, she had frequent nosebleeds for a period of time. She was in the community. The hospital diagnosed him with anemia, and he returned to normal after a period of nursing care.”

“anemia?”

Niu Changshou touched his chin, but then he thought that June was more than five months away from now, so there should be no connection with atypical insect phobia.

“Can you see anything?”

The deputy dean asked tentatively.

All the other patients had symptoms, but for this little girl, no cause could be found at all.

Niu Changshou did not answer this question, but asked: “How many new cases are there on average every day in Dongpu City?”

“Twenty cases on average, daily deaths are basically equal to that number, and that number is rising rapidly as time goes on,” the deputy director said.

Xia Ren calculated in his mind. According to the deputy director’s expression, that is to say, of the forty-five patients they have admitted so far, nearly half will die after today, including the first patient they saw. That boy.

Atypical entomophobia can kill people so quickly.

“Where is the body of the deceased?” Niu Changshou asked again.

The vice president said: “In accordance with the “Unknown Disease Handling Procedure” and the “Guidance Manual for Preventing the Spread of Plague”, except for some typical cases that were preserved and awaiting evaluation, all the remaining remains were safely burned.”

Niu Changshou stood there and thought for a while, then said, “Take me to see those remains.”

Before leaving the ward, Xia Ren looked back at the little girl on the bed.

She was still sitting there quietly, young and tender, and her skin remained shiny. However, the gray skylight outside the window shone into the ward, seeming to coat her whole body with a layer of haze. She did not look like a six-year-old child at all. A body that has long since died.

The Affiliated Hospital of Dongpu University of Science and Technology is a monitoring point arranged by the World Superman Association in Dongpu City. In order to cope with various complex situations, some buildings have been specially modified.

For example, inside the inpatient building, a hidden basement is actually built, where the remains of patients with atypical entomophobia are kept.

“Because we only noticed the abnormality at the end of October, the remains were collected within half a month from the end of October to now.”

The deputy dean explained as he led them to open the safety doors one after another, and finally came to the last metal door.

The door is engraved with a pattern of two semicircles pieced together into a circle. One of the semicircles can clearly be seen as the human brain, while the bottom of the other semicircle is covered with a small shadow. Xia Ren has seen it since he was a child and is very familiar with it. , this is the overall model of Blue Star. The small shadow is the everlasting ice cloud above the Wuji Icefield.

Between the two semicircles, there is a line of text:

“Humanity lives forever!”

Xia Ren guessed that this should be the icon of the World Superman Association.

As the last door opened, cold air suddenly poured into the corridor.

This was like a small cold storage. Xia Ren saw that the temperature displayed next to the door was minus 15 degrees Celsius. The room was spacious, with pieces of metal cabinets placed against the walls. The white lights on the ceiling were a bit dazzling. Under the lights, it was Several dissecting tables.

“Do you want to wear winter clothes?”

The deputy dean took out a piece of clothing from the box next to him and asked.

“Need not.”

Niu Changshou refused.

He is a robot specially made by the World Superman Association. He can move freely even in an environment of minus 70 degrees. This temperature is nothing to him.

“We don’t need it either.”

Xia Ren and others are naturally not afraid of the cold, especially Lily. The temperature in the Crazy Mountains can easily reach minus 40 or 50 degrees, which has no effect on her at all.

The deputy dean did not insist anymore. He took out three pieces of cold-proof clothing, wore one for himself, and gave the other two sets to the two professors.

These two professors were originally responsible for explaining. It was also the first time for the vice president to discover an infectious disease suspected to be caused by pollutants in the area under his jurisdiction. Therefore, he had little experience in how to communicate with the plague scholars sent from above. Thinking about it, the two professors haven’t spoken a word to each other since the contact.

“This is the first body to be included.”

The deputy dean walked to the huge iron cabinet against the wall and pulled out a cabinet numbered 10-07. Inside was the body of an adult woman.

The body was naked, with a layer of frozen white frost hanging on the surface of the skin. You could see the outer sides of the arms, the midline of the throat, the face and head, and the Y-shaped anatomical sutures on the chest and abdomen.

Because it was a typical body included in the collection, they only performed a simple dissection, mainly to find out the cause of the disease and to observe whether there were traces of parasite activity or other damage in the body, so they deliberately maintained the integrity of the body.

“For the convenience of research, we removed the internal organs of this body and placed them in a further room. If necessary, we also included two undissected bodies.”

“I’ll just see for myself.”

Niu Changshou put on gloves and seemingly simply inspected the appearance of the remains.

Then, he opened the cabinets one by one and looked at all the remains. Then he took off his gloves and placed them on the dissecting table nearby.

“Go up and talk.”

Niu Changshou’s face was a little solemn.

He is a very energetic person. When Xia Ren saw him for the first time, he was laughing, as if he was full of enthusiasm for life all the time, but since entering this hospital, he has not laughed once.

They walked out of the inpatient building and came under the gloomy sky outside. The vice president asked: “What are the results of the assessment? Do we need to continue to observe?”

“No.”

Niu Changshou raised his hand, tapped his head, closed his eyes and thought calmly.

“It is determined that this type of disease is caused by pollutants and is contagious. The name is: atypical entomophobia.

A three-level plan was launched to restrict the flow of people in Dongpu City, and the people who moved in the past year were investigated and tracked. The medical system began to monitor and put all new suspicious patients on the inspection list…

Coverage: All Blue Star. “

I recommend a novel, The Dark Summoner of the Apocalypse, a new book by Dawn Night Waltz, “The Siege of the Sea of ​​Insects”. It is still an apocalyptic genre. The author personally guarantees that he will not change his gender. I read the beginning and it is really good. Everyone, go and read it. !
