Pollution throughout the territory - #352 - Chapter 348 The only hope
Xia Ren admired Niu Changshou very much. He was indeed a plague scholar. In such a tense situation, he could calmly analyze the current situation and figure out so many things.
“in addition.”
Niu Changshou continued: “The pathogenic protozoa of atypical entomophobia parasitizes in human dreams. The following are speculations that have not been confirmed by research. If you find any doubts, be sure to make corrections.”
He waited for a few seconds, but no one spoke, and then continued: “When the time is right, or when the number of protozoa spreads to a large enough level, the bugs will gather together, cause swarms, mate and migrate, and continue to expand SARS.” The scope of infection of insect phobia is so large that one of the next focuses is how to prevent the occurrence of swarms in advance, or at least be prepared to minimize the bad consequences caused by swarms and the impact on society. .”
“But fortunately, we already have some key information. Before the swarm phenomenon occurs, all overt parasitic patients with atypical entomophobia will stop experiencing symptoms. This is a very obvious signal and represents the patient’s dream. The parasites inside begin to form cocoons, waiting for the pupae to transform into another form; there is another obvious signal, which is Patient No. 3.”
“Through some special methods, I learned that before the swarm phenomenon occurred tonight, the parasite in Patient No. 3’s dream had already emerged from the cocoon in advance, and first completed the transformation into its second form.
I suspect that this is a test flight of the insect swarm to determine whether the external environment is suitable for survival. And the location where the patients controlled by the insect swarm initially flocked tonight was also the inpatient building where Patient No. 3 was located, so this guess is correct. The possibility is very high. “
“I require each of you to have a detailed grasp of the medical records of Patient No. 3, and clearly understand the physical condition and characteristics of the test flight patient, as one of the important basis for judging whether the insect swarm is ready for group flight.”
After Niu Changshou finished speaking, the meeting began to enter the free discussion stage. Everyone was whispering, exchanging opinions and brief introductions, trying to sort out some useful information. However, half an hour passed, and the time came to two o’clock in the morning, and there was still no one. Express an opinion.
Research on atypical entomophobia is currently mainly conducted at the headquarters of the Superman Association, where there are the most experienced experts and the most advanced and dangerous research equipment in the world. Plagues caused by pollutants are far more common than those of ordinary people. It is understandable that these people in Dongpu City are still far behind in terms of professionalism and knowledge reserve.
Qin Yun asked someone for the location of the tea room and brought them a few cups of hot water.
Xia Ren took a sip and felt much better, and his anxiety subsided a little.
“It’s too late. You should take Lily and Lu Yi to bed first. We can come here.”
Qin Yun shook her head: “We are not sleepy, and we feel more at ease staying with you.”
Xia Ren thought for a while and stopped insisting that they go back first.
Dongpu City is in a mess right now. Fortunately, it is late at night, and the impact of the lockdown has not been realized by many people. However, all the patients who came to the hospital died. Their family members may not know the specific situation yet, but they have already If you try to find it, you will find it sooner or later.
Although the circuits around the Affiliated Hospital of Dongpu University of Science and Technology have been shut down, and the police superintendents have blocked the road tightly and do not allow anyone to pass, claiming that it is a circuit accident and government workers are repairing it, this explanation is hidden after all. Not too long.
When daybreak comes, if more thorough measures are not taken, widespread riots will inevitably occur. I just don’t know how the Foundation and the Superman Association will deal with it.
“Dear brother, do you have any way to break the situation?”
Niu Changshou looked at Xia Ren.
His eyes showed fatigue for the first time.
Xia Ren looked at him and couldn’t connect him with the cheerful young man who laughed when they first met.
“I’m thinking about it too.”
Xia Ren could only answer like this.
The situation in front of him was too complicated and pessimistic, and he couldn’t find any clue in a short time.
“It would be great if Yue Dan is still alive.”
He sighed.
As an important member of Changsheng Company and the first human being who can read the evil grimoire mentioned by Zheng Xinming, since Yue Dan can spread the worms, he must know the weaknesses of the worms.
Unfortunately, she was already dead. Xia Ren saw with his own eyes that she was eaten by insects until only a few bones remained.
“etc.”
The scene at that time suddenly flashed through Xia Ren’s mind.
That circular pattern made of blood might be the door leading to the worm’s lair.
“Do you still remember what Zheng Xinming said?”
Xia Ren suddenly had an idea and said excitedly to Niu Changshou.
“What words?”
“Two years ago, Yue Dan’s father, paleontologist Professor Yue Yongjie, also participated in the analysis of the evil grimoire. On the day when he first tried to copy the patterns recorded on it, Professor Yue Yongjie disappeared along with his students. But Yue Dan is safe and has obtained two insect eggs!”
“What’s going on?” Niu Changshou also vaguely thought of something, as if he had grasped the key point, but his thoughts were not clear.
“Insect eggs!”
Xia Ren couldn’t help but shouted loudly, attracting the attention of other people in the conference room.
“If that pattern could only unilaterally summon bugs from their nests, then it would have been absolutely impossible for Yue Dan to get the eggs, because the bugs would only lay eggs in their nests, so through that pattern, it was definitely Someone who can enter the insect’s nest. Yue Dan must have gone in and came out intact!”
After Xia Ren’s reminder, Niu Changshou and the housing agency immediately realized the feasibility.
“So, if the grimoire disappeared, it was probably left in the insect nest?”
“If this is the case, then finding the grimoire means…”
“We will have all the information about the worm, including how it spreads and its weaknesses!”
The three of them had already discussed the next course of action with one sentence each.
“I recorded that pattern.”
The real estate agent took out a photo from his pocket, which he took at Zheng Xinming’s villa at noon.
The photo was placed on the table, and the three of them looked at the strange and twisted lines in it, their eyes burning.
They all knew that this method was not safe. There were nearly twenty people involved in copying the patterns, but only Yue Dan came out alive.
But at this time, this pattern is their only hope. The atypical insect phobia cannot continue to be delayed. The second swarm phenomenon may occur at any time, and there is even a chance that it will occur in another city tomorrow.
“How about giving it a try?” Niu Changshou said.
Xia Ren reached out and held down the photo: “Prepare drawing materials now!”
