Pollution throughout the territory - #343 - Chapter 339 Crowd!

“You came.”

When Niu Changshou saw him, he was surprised at first and asked, “Why are you here so soon? Have you found out the clues about the alien sect?”

“They’re all dead.”

Several doctors were about to walk out from the gate. Xia Ren pulled Niu Changsheng to the side to get out of the way and said: “We found the real major shareholder of Changsheng Company and confirmed that he is the founder of this alien sect. From his From their mouths, we learned that this plague was deliberately spread by them, and that the cause of atypical entomophobia was a white worm, which they obtained by studying an evil book.”

“Do you still remember the disappearance case at Dongpu University of Science and Technology two years ago? The paleontologist who disappeared at that time was responsible for researching that book. Although he and his students disappeared mysteriously, the research results were retained by her daughter. Come down.”

Xia Ren told Niu Changshou the whole story. After listening, the other party lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Then.

“grass!”

Xia Ren heard him swear for the first time.

As if to vent his emotions, his eyes wandered around his feet, but in the end he couldn’t find anything to vent his anger on.

“These council members in Dongpu City are really hardworking. Thanks to them, scum like this can safely live to such an old age without dying!”

“Already dead.” Xia Ren reminded him.

“…”

Niu Changshou glanced at him, not sure if he was deliberately angry with him.

Qin Yun smiled beside her. Xia Ren sometimes spoke strangely.

“Where are the other members? There should be many researchers in their organization who are responsible for recording research results, right? Even if the leader dies, as long as they are found…”

“They basically committed suicide when they found them.”

Xia Ren also learned this news on the way here. He recalled Zheng Xinming before his death and said: “The members of this alien organization seem to have a deep respect for those worms. I don’t know whether they worship the power or the worms.” What, anyway… is difficult to understand.”

“Isn’t the clue broken?”

Niu Changshou was a little depressed.

“Let’s take a step and see.”

Xia Ren sighed and asked, “I saw you looking like something was wrong just now. Did something happen?”

The topic turned back again, Niu Changshou’s face seemed to be even worse, and he said uncertainly: “The patients… there seems to be something wrong.”

“what is the problem?”

Xia Ren immediately asked.

Zheng Xinming’s words echoed in his mind again, and he was very concerned. According to what the other party said, something huge might happen tonight.

Niu Changshou glanced at the doctors coming and going and said: “The mood of the patients is a bit wrong. They began to become inexplicably anxious, as if they were being urged by something to do something. Several patients had already tried to escape from the ward. But we found them all in time and stopped them.”

“And the place they want to go is… to Patient No. 3.”

“Patient No. 3?”

Xia Ren still remembered the little semi-vegetative girl, and he felt something was wrong with her at that time.

“Take me to see it.”

“good.”

Niu Changshou trusted Xia Ren very much, and started to explain the situation to him in detail during the break.

“After the abnormality occurred, we checked the conditions of all the patients and found that most of them had symptoms of trance. I asked several patients who tried to escape. They all had no specific understanding of their behavior, as if they were suddenly in a trance. Hysteria, I can’t remember anything I’ve done.”

“What makes me even more uneasy is that as time goes by, the patients’ anxiety is becoming more and more serious. Many of their bodies are already weakened by the complications of atypical entomophobia, but It’s like I would rather remove the oxygen tube to achieve a certain purpose.”

“Similar to instinctive drive?” Xia Ren asked.

“uncertain.”

Niu Changshou shook his head, with a trace of fear in his eyes: “Their behavior reminds me of hosts that are parasitized by certain parasites in nature.”

“Especially because they didn’t get sick as usual last night. Now it seems more like the parasites have reached a critical stage and are preparing something…”

Nurses and doctors walked back and forth in the corridor, most of them looking in a hurry. Xia Ren saw some elderly people with gray hair among them, and there were also unusually young men and women who looked like they should be students following the professors.

They were all wearing white coats and worried about the patients, but what they didn’t know was that this plague was not caused by any known creature on Blue Star, and there was no reference to it in human history. Information, they don’t know how contagious it is, not even the route of transmission, or even what the pathogen is.

They knew nothing but came anyway.

While they were talking, Xia Ren and Niu Changshou had already arrived in the ward.

Patient No. 3 was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes.

She was only six years old. She should have been at an age where she could play happily with her friends, but instead she was lying here. She didn’t even know who she was. She even needed help to eat and drink.

“Of all the patients, she was the only one who did not show any anxiety.”

There was a nurse responsible for taking care of Patient No. 3 at all times. Niu Changshou waved his hand to signal her to avoid it for the time being. Then he walked to the bedside and took Patient No. 3’s slender wrist.

“But no matter how many times I checked, her physical condition remained unchanged from before.”

That is, the reason for the abnormal situation cannot be found.

Xia Ren looked at him and said, “You are getting anxious too.”

Niu Changshou held Patient No. 3’s hand and froze. He came to his senses and murmured to himself: “Yes, I can’t be anxious, but I can’t be anxious. I must be calm…”

He is a plague scholar and is currently the person responsible for the progress of plague research in the Superman Association in Dongpu City. All major decisions need to be made by him for confirmation. It doesn’t matter if others make a mistake. If he makes a mistake, the problem will be serious. .

From the moment she entered the ward, Lily’s eyes have been looking at Patient No. 3.

“empty.”

Her childish voice suddenly said.

“What’s empty?”

Xia Ren turned around and asked.

As a Shoggoth, an important servant of the Ancient One who once had great glory on the Blue Star, it is normal for Lily to be able to see many things that others cannot.

“here.”

Lily pointed to her head: “It’s empty here.”

Niu Changshou frowned and said: “But after examination, her brain did not have any damage, and there was no mass loss like other patients.”

Xia Ren shifted his gaze back to Patient No. 3.

Lily would not say such things for no reason. If she said it was empty, then there must be something missing. If it wasn’t the brain, then maybe it was something other than the brain.

“Sister Lu Yi is also available!”

Lily pointed at Lu Yi, who was quietly acting as a vending machine next to her.

“I’m not empty ~ I sell things, such as roasted chicken pieces, boiled liver pieces, big bone soup…”

Lu Yi started to name the dishes with her fingers.

Xia Ren looked at them and fell into deep thought.

“What could it be? The similarities between Lu Yi and Patient No. 3…”

This question is destined to be fruitless.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was night.

The patients’ anxiety has become more serious. They are confined to the ward and cannot go out. Some patients have even begun to engage in self-harm.

Niu Changshou was very busy, but he still had no clue as to the reason for this situation.

At this moment, the director of the Affiliated Hospital of Dongpu University of Science and Technology suddenly ran over in a hurry and said loudly: “It’s not good! Go and look outside!”

Xia Ren and Niu Changshou looked at each other, and their uneasiness suddenly reached its peak.

They followed the dean through the emergency building and arrived at the hospital gate.

Before they even got close, the first thing everyone heard was the honking of various car horns and the sirens of police cars, like flutes resounding in the night sky.

Xia Ren and Niu Changshou looked at the scene in front of them and were stunned.

The lights were shining, and the entire street in front of the hospital was already densely packed with vehicles. They were not driving normally at all. A large number of cars rear-ended, and some had more serious accidents. They were stacked on top of each other on the green belt on the roadside. There are cars all over the place, and there is no free space on the street. It is simply blocked.

The police superintendents were also blocked from the outside and could not enter the venue to maintain order.

This situation is definitely not normal.

Just as Xia Ren was thinking this, before he could get close to the gate, he saw dull-looking humans crawling out of the windows and doors of the vehicles, walking stiffly like controlled puppets. Gather in the direction of the hospital.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many people…”

Niu Changshou opened his eyes wide and had a bad guess in his mind.

“Something’s wrong! Close the door quickly!”

While Xia Ren shouted to the hospital staff to close the door quickly and stop them first, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to contact the foundation quickly.

Before he could make the call, several bright lights came from the sky, followed by the sound of propellers turning.

A dozen helicopters were hovering over the hospital, with the foundation’s logo printed on their tail fins.
