Pollution throughout the territory - #326 - Chapter 322 Meeting in a dream
At eight o’clock in the evening, the lanes were crowded and there was snow on both sides of the road. Xia Ren and the others were stuck on the road for more than half an hour before they finally arrived at Dongpu University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital.
There was no starlight, only large tracts of snowflakes falling down. Under the reflection of the street lights, they reflected white light, which was a bit dazzling.
Standing at the door to greet them was a nurse in a white uniform.
Following a familiar path, Xia Ren came to the inpatient department and met Niu Changshou in the monitoring room.
Just like the basement below, the monitoring room here was obviously renovated with the thought of taking on special responsibilities one day.
Several curved screens gathered into a huge semicircle, occupying the entire wall. These screens were larger than ordinary monitor screens, and the clarity was almost as high as 4K movie quality. They showed corridors and various wards. monitoring screen.
Below the monitoring screen is a large touch screen panel operating console. There are three black swivel chairs in front of the operating console. The operator is sitting on it, staring at the screen. From time to time, he will call up several monitoring screens to enlarge and check to confirm whether there are any. Exceptionally, the entire monitoring room is filled with a strong sense of technology.
This was the first time Xia Ren saw this kind of surveillance equipment that looked like special effects in a movie, and it felt very novel.
Although I had previously known that the World Superman Association’s scientific research progress had exceeded the current level of human cognition, and some of it could be seen from Niu Changshou, it was the first time that I realized it in such a concrete way like before.
The vice dean and the two professors during the day were also there, and there was also a middle-aged woman, also dressed as a doctor.
Niu Changshou introduced: “This is a professor who just came from the next city to do parasite research. His surname is Yang. He has made great achievements in worms in particular and has published many papers.”
Xia Ren and her nodded to each other and got to know each other briefly.
“Through our observations during this period, we found that the main onset time of atypical entomophobia is between 9 pm and 2 am. The specific time changes with the patient’s sleep quality. The latest onset time is between 9 pm and 2 am. An hour and a half after falling asleep.”
The vice dean explained the situation to Xia Ren, who had just arrived.
He was relatively dismissive of Xia Ren at first. Although he was a customer of Niu Changshou, he was a member of the foundation after all. The vice president knew that the investigators were capable of handling pollution incidents, but this contagious plague It’s not what they’re good at, so the deputy dean always feels that he won’t be of much help in this matter. As long as it doesn’t cause trouble, thank God.
But since he heard Xia Ren talk about Zhao Rou’s case in the afternoon, the vice president stopped his contempt for Xia Ren. He is also a doctor himself, so he knows the difficulty of surgery for interstitial chordoma and can do this kind of surgery. He already belongs to the top group of surgeons, especially Xia Ren is still so young.
In any situation, capable people are respected, regardless of status.
Of course, if the vice-dean knew that the person who actually completed the operation was actually the innocent and ignorant green-haired loli behind Xia Ren, he would not know what his expression would be.
“Are all the patients asleep now?”
Xia Ren looked at the monitoring screen and asked.
“No.”
The deputy director said: “There are several patients whose brains have always been active, but their physical condition is no longer suitable for the use of any sedative drugs.”
Xia Ren nodded while looking for something on the screen. He saw that Patient No. 3 was already lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, but there seemed to be one missing person.
“Where’s the boy with agnosia this afternoon?”
Niu Changshou answered: “At six o’clock, he had lost his vital signs due to brain injury.”
“So fast.”
Xia Ren felt a little sad. He had experienced many lives and deaths, and the boy had nothing to do with him. He just felt a little pity.
But I don’t know how the young man’s family would feel if they heard the news.
Niu Changshou grinned and showed an unhappy smile: “Diseases don’t talk to people.”
When this topic was mentioned, there was a moment of silence in the monitoring room.
Everyone stared at the screen, quietly waiting for one of the patients to get sick.
However, half an hour later, except for the occasional scene of a nurse passing by in the corridor, there were no other obvious changes in the surveillance picture.
“Strange, what happened today?”
The vice-dean murmured to himself.
“Is there any problem with the surveillance?”
The staff responsible for monitoring tested several windows and replied: “There is no problem, everything is normal.”
“It’s okay, just wait.”
Niu Changshou asked someone to bring some chairs and everyone sat down together.
The vice-dean did not sit down. He stared at the monitor without blinking, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
His eyes unconsciously turned to Patient No. 3. From the day he admitted the girl, he immediately realized the difference in the other person. This was a very strange feeling, like a sixth sense.
Another half hour passed, and all the patients had fallen asleep, but none of the patients had symptoms of sleep apnea.
Niu Changshou was so bored that he started chatting with Xia Ren.
The two had a not very in-depth exchange, and all the topics were just scratched the surface. In this way, the time slowly came to twelve o’clock in the morning, and still nothing happened.
The vice president couldn’t stay any longer and suggested: “Let’s go to the ward and have a look.”
No one had any objections, so the group left the monitoring room and went up to the fourth floor.
The lights in the corridor were on, and the lights were a little pale. The doors of the wards on both sides were closed tightly, making no sound. It was eerily quiet.
They gently pushed open one of the wards and came to the bedside, where the patient was sleeping soundly.
Niu Changshou stepped forward to check and found that the patient was in a stable state and looked like he was sleeping normally.
Xia Ren also used his second-level perception ability to explore the surroundings. The very faint smell of pollution still existed, and there was no change.
They then went to several other wards and got the same result.
Nothing unusual.
But in this situation, there is no abnormality itself, but the biggest abnormality.
“Why is it tonight…”
The deputy dean couldn’t figure it out.
Xia Ren wondered if the worms had sensed his arrival, so they all hibernated?
But no, he shouldn’t be that big of a deterrent, and last time he and Zhao Rou stayed in the same ward, the bugs still came out and ran wild, so this possibility can basically be ruled out.
With nothing gained, everyone returned to the monitoring room. Niu Changshou was sitting on the chair, looking not relaxed.
He looked around the room, focused his eyes on Xia Ren and his party, and said a little apologetically: “Brother Xia, it seems that nothing will happen tonight. Why don’t you go back and rest early?” I’ll keep an eye on this place and let you know as soon as I find anything.”
“Can.”
Even if he didn’t say it, Xia Ren still wanted to leave.
“Let’s go.”
He grabbed Qin Yun and others and walked out of the hospital.
At night and on snowy days, the number of taxis is scarce, but fortunately there is an app on your mobile phone to hail a taxi.
Returning to the community, he took out the key and opened the door. Since there were two bedrooms, Qin Yun and Lu Yi could sleep in one. Xia Ren finally no longer had to sleep on the sofa.
Seeing that he didn’t have much interest in talking, Qin Yun kept quiet and silently led Lu Yi back to the room.
Lily didn’t really need sleep. She wanted to get familiar with the floor here tonight.
Xia Ren was lying on the bed. Because he had a flight early this morning and didn’t sleep well this morning, he was somewhat exhausted.
As soon as he closed his eyes and let his mind go, he heard a woman’s screams and a buzzing vibration coming from next door. He couldn’t help but recall the woman next door he saw in the afternoon, in the middle of the night. A person is really in high spirits.
The room where he lay was separated from the bedroom next door by only one wall.
“It’s damn soundproof.”
Xia Ren complained in a dull voice, pulled up the quilt and covered his ears.
In fact, it can’t be blamed that the room is not soundproof. The level 2 perception ability has greatly improved the acuity of his facial features. Even if there is another wall, he can still hear the movement on the other side.
Fortunately, within two minutes, the movement next door stopped.
As the woman’s faint breathing faded away, the world became completely quiet, as if all sounds were swallowed up by the snow outside.
Xia Ren’s consciousness sank into the depths of darkness.
[Mingshu has been activated. 】
[Listen to the…prayer of the unfortunate! 】
【Hey Hey……】
A vague female voice sounded, filled with deep fear.
“so afraid……”
“Someone… help me…”
Pay tribute to the heroes, remember the heroes, and hope the epidemic will end soon!
