Chapter 21 Chapter 20 Human Experimenters
We were driving on the road leading to City S, the night was dark, the headlights cast two beautiful halos on the road ahead, and a thin layer of fog had already risen in the sky, it seems that tomorrow morning will definitely be A foggy day.
The road is very deserted, and the car drives a long distance before encountering one or two oncoming or overtaking vehicles.
Liu Zheng was not driving fast, and the soft roar of the car engine was mixed with the voice of the radio announcer repeated over and over again: Emergency notice, listeners, please pay attention, due to the large-scale spread of influenza in our city, it has seriously affected the general public of good health.In order to completely extinguish the raging influenza virus, the municipal government maintains a normal working and living environment.This notice is hereby issued, and the general public is requested to go to the nearest hospitals in the urban area for free medical examinations within three days and issue examination certificates.And try to reduce the time to go out, medical experts are intensely developing effective treatment drugs, and will treat patients for free!The general public is invited to respond positively.Three days later, special personnel will be set up in public places to conduct routine inspections of citizens entering and leaving, and those who do not hold inspection documents will be strictly prohibited from entering and leaving!It is hereby notified that this notice will be repeated every ten minutes!Please enjoy "Music Show" next!
The radio station began to play "Chrysanthemum Terrace" by Jay Chou. Although I have always liked Jay Chou's songs, I didn't care to appreciate them today. I was always haunted by Professor Fang's meaningful words: "Maybe there will be some kind of influence. There may also be some mutations like this Bupleurum chinensis. In fact, it is hard to say whether it hurts or promotes. It is like people learning to walk upright on two feet. We think it is an improvement today, but at the time it may only be A step backwards!"
Undoubtedly, his words came true, this mutation has already started, from Li Moran who dug up the grave, to Lu Hua who wanted to put me to death, to the cold citizens all over the city, they have already started this mutation.Abandoning the old mediocrity and depression, and mastering some extraordinary skills, is this progress or regression?I can't tell, but if the whole world is full of ego surging wantonly, everyone is swayed by their own emotions, and all laws and customs are trampled under their feet, I can't imagine what it will be like world!
Before the song was finished, Liu Zheng reached out and turned off the radio, and said with a forced smile: "Professor Fang's words are just a guess, maybe things are not so bad. But, what I don't understand is, what if Li Moran's illness is caused by that?" Bupleurum chinensis transplanted into the greenhouse, how did Lu Hua and the others obtain it?"
I smiled wryly and said: "Maybe this disease can really be contagious. We were infected from the moment we opened Li Moran's tomb. Maybe it's the radiation effect of the stone egg itself, maybe..." I shook my head, He reached out and touched the heavy photo in his pocket.
"Yes, there are many possibilities, but each possibility seems far-fetched. In fact, this incident is like a strange nightmare that a person had. Hey! I really hope that these things have never happened when I wake up. !” Liu Zheng said with a sigh.
An hour later, I was sitting in the conference room of the Central Hospital, listening to Professor Li's vigorous speech: "We have made two sets of plans in human trials, one is injection, and the dose used is already known, but the corpse It is unconscious. After losing the consciousness of life, its own perception and immune system are gone, so it is impossible to know what effect the injection will have on the living human body. The second solution is to soak in corpse water. After three hours of immersion, the pustules can be completely eliminated. According to our experiments, the effect is similar to that of injections, and the skin of the deceased has not changed. However, as to whether it will cause pain and damage the immune system, this can only be done on a living body. Only through experiments can we know! At least for now, the vital signs of the mice are normal, and there is slight damage to their immune system, but it should be within a tolerable range." This is good news, but the second option is somewhat difficult to implement. In S city with a population of over one million, if everyone needs to soak for 3 hours, then the place to hold the corpse water is a difficult problem to solve. Furthermore, In the future, the disposal of corpse water will be even more difficult. Lin Qing pondered: "Professor Li, which solution do you think is better?" "Of course it is the second type. Since it is not directly injected into the human body, the skin can play a certain protective role, but practical issues are also a factor that needs to be considered!" "So, is there any way to deal with the corpse water?" Ren Yuansheng asked. Professor Li glanced at Cai Feng and motioned for him to answer. This was the first time Cai Feng appeared at the venue, and I could tell that he was also very tired, with a beard growing like weeds on his face, which set off his handsome cheeks very sloppy.At first, I thought Cai Fengfeng was a little nervous, because it was his first time to attend such a high-level meeting, but he just agreed numbly. His exhaustion had left him with no extra energy to be nervous. He cleared his throat and said : "Through my observation of this virus in the past few days, it is a new virus produced by mixing many virus elements, such as polio, measles, chickenpox, etc. My guess is that this virus is a new virus. After the virus elements invade the human body, they integrate many new virus elements originally contained in the human body to mutate and produce new viruses. This integrated new virus is very destructive and can quickly break through the human body's immune system and transform human body fluids. Transformed into a pus substance..." Director Wang interrupted: "Little comrade, just now the mayor asked about the treatment of corpse water, and did not ask about the cause of hair growth!" Professor Li said coldly: "If you don't know the reason, how can you know the result?" Cai Feng continued: "The corpse water can destroy this new virus, and the new virus can also destroy the corpse water naturally. This is the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint. We have already obtained the dosage ratio. The dose of corpse water to restrain the virus is 1:20. , the human body does not need to limit the dose. The dose of the virus to restrain the corpse water is 1:40. As long as we inject a certain amount of virus into the corpse water, the purpose of cleaning the corpse water can be achieved. But we still don’t know what virus is integrated These viruses!" When I heard his words, although I was still not sure, I still said, "I might know!" All eyes turned to me again, and I took out the three pieces of paper with data analyzed by Professor Fang Tianxin and handed them to Cai Feng, saying, "That kind of toxin should be contained in the Bupleurum chinensis on Cuishan!" The professor repeated what he had said to me.Of course, I deliberately skipped the part about Li Moran. Cai Feng and Professor Li nodded after listening to my words. Ren Yuansheng asked in puzzlement: "Xiao Cai, I don't understand how these toxins can be mixed into one person's body?" Cai Feng smiled bitterly: "Vaccinate!" Everyone fell silent. Yes, since humans have developed the method of vaccination, it has been widely adopted by countries all over the world. It has also become the first choice for preventing major infectious diseases, endemic diseases, and difficult diseases in the world.A small amount of virus is injected to make the human body produce antibodies against the virus, which prevents the introduction of the virus.This is indeed the best way to prevent problems before they happen.But who would have thought that these seemingly insignificant toxins would become a fatal disease capable of changing a person under the integration of another new virus!Perhaps, when parents vaccinated newborn babies in their arms, no one would have thought that there would be today's results!Is the development of medical technology a kind of progress or a kind of regression?no one knows! "Okay!" Lin Qing said, "Mr. Yi has done another great service for us, which also proves that the strange stone is indeed the culprit of this disease! Mr. Gong, what is your result?" Gong Laodao: "Yes, this stone egg is very radioactive. As Mr. Yi said, we have tested its material. Although we can't confirm its composition, we can be sure that it is not the earth. The material possessed by the world!" "Well!" Lin Qing said with a smile, "The whole thing has been revealed. It is the radiation of this meteorite that caused the generation of new viruses, and this new virus is highly contagious. When it infects the human body At that time, the original toxins of the human body were integrated to form this kind of pustules! I also talk about the results of the physical examination of the citizens. Up to now, 90% of the people tested have been infected with this virus. I think this proportion is basically the same. It is close to the actual ratio, and this is a cruel situation we must face. Director Liu, your public security system must do a good job of blocking all traffic roads entering and leaving the city." Liu Zheng nodded and said, "We have started this work in accordance with the requirements of the city government since this morning." "Okay, let's go here, the meeting is over, Professor Li, please stay." Lin Qing waved his hand and said. After everyone went out, only Professor Li, Lin Qing, and Liu Zheng stayed in the room. Although I had some things to ask Professor Li, I went outside first and waited for him to come out.I know the reason why they stayed, for the quota of the first live experimenter.Lin Qing naturally wanted to persuade Professor Li to allow him to do it, and the reason why Liu Zheng stayed was to fight for Lu Hua! When I was wondering whose request Professor Li would agree to, I suddenly saw a person walking staggeringly in the corridor, walking slowly while reaching out to the wall.Seeing the layers of gauze wrapped around his head, I knew who it was without looking at his face! He walked up to me, smiled slightly, and called out with a slight stutter: "Mr. Yi?" Maybe he has mastered the way of speaking when his tongue is short in this short period of time, although he still stutters very badly, but I can already hear what I said clearly! I said apologetically, "Captain Lu, are you feeling better?" Lu Hua smiled wryly, and said, "It's much better, thank you! Is Professor Li in there?" I nod. He walked towards the door with slow steps, and seemed to remember something, stopped suddenly, without turning back, and said in a low voice: "I apologize to you for what happened that night, please forgive me. In addition, please One thing, take good care of Bai Feng!" After speaking, he opened the door and walked in. In fact, I wanted to say that Bai Feng didn't blame you, but before I could speak, he had already disappeared into the closed door. I stood at the door for more than ten minutes before I saw the door was pushed open. Lin Qing and Liu Zheng helped Lu Hua come out, and walked slowly towards the end of the corridor, as if they were helping someone who was about to go to the execution ground like a martyr.I know, Lu Hua succeeded! Professor Li walked behind with his head down, maybe he was moved by Lu Hua's performance just now. I don't need to think about it, but I know that Lu Hua must have put in a lot of effort to get this opportunity.He saw me standing at the door and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" I nodded, took out the photo from my pocket, handed it to him, and asked, "Professor Li, do you know him?" Professor Li just glanced at it, and said, "Of course, he used to be the vice president of our hospital, a good doctor with great medical ethics! Why do you have his photo?" So I told the story of going to the Zijinxiang flower market, and then asked: "Do you know how he died? I suspect that his death is also related to this disease!" Professor Li's face became ugly, he stared blankly at the photo and posted it for a long time, then said: "This is unlikely, he seems to have died of myocardial infarction. I was visiting other places at the time, and when I came back, he had already been buried. Already!" I sighed, knowing that this clue was broken, but even if we can be sure that Dean Qi Si Nong also died of pustules, so what?It was nothing more than adding another weight to this tragedy. I felt relieved when I thought of this, so I had to express my deeper worries: "I am afraid that this Professor Qi has used Bupleurum bupleurum on Cuishan as a medicine. Has the patient been treated? If so, is there any medicine in the hospital pharmacy now? This may leave a legacy of disaster!" Professor Li shook his body and denied loudly: "Impossible, impossible! The bupleurum in the hospital is all imported from other places. How could it be from Cuishan?" Seeing that he was about to get angry, I thought that what I said was really disrespectful to slander the deceased, so I had no choice but to swallow the following words. Professor Li was obviously very excited, and walked towards the corridor with big strides, holding the photo tightly in his hand. I shrugged my shoulders and went downstairs to the small restaurant at the door. Yes, it was past nine o'clock, and it was time for dinner.
At twelve o'clock in the night, I arrived at the entrance of the hospital's examination room on time, and saw the leaders of the city lingering uneasily at the entrance, and the doctor in charge of registration kept patting his head with his palms, and kept recording examinations all day long. It is not an easy task for anyone to obtain the name information of the applicant. When it was my turn, I took the pen in his hand and filled out the information myself. In addition to the information, there was also a column of content filled in by the hospital doctor, which was about the test results of infection.The page I was on was basically infected people, with the exception of one person's name. I wondered if I could be another exception with a secret smile in my heart. I turned around and suddenly became interested in these uninfected people, so I asked: "Can you make a copy of the uninfected people's information for me? I want to see it!" The doctor glanced at me and said, "Okay, you can go to the room and make a photocopy yourself!" He picked up a few other sheets of paper on the table and handed them to me, pointing to a room on one side. I walked into that office with a few lists of lucky winners.
After finishing the routine inspection, I wanted to go to Baifeng House to see who these lucky ones were. At the entrance of the stairs, I saw Liu Zheng and several policemen helping Lu Hua put on a brand new police uniform.I knew that Lu Hua was going to walk into that smelly laboratory and lie in the turbid yellow sewage filled with corpse poison. I don't know what the result would be?Perhaps this is the last time in his life that he will wear a police uniform. I froze on the ground, the corners of my eyes were a little wet, I didn't know whether I should go over to comfort him or see him off silently. Lu Hua was very happy and looked very happy. Zhou Zheng straightened his police cap and gave a standard military salute to Liu Zheng and his colleagues.He turned around and walked towards the corridor where I was - from here to the door that determines life and death. He marched with high morale, as if he was going to receive a medal.I know that in his heart, this life-and-death test is undoubtedly a solemn review, something that a soldier and a policeman should be proud of.Liu Zheng and his colleagues stood at attention, deeply respecting Lu Hua's back with an extremely standard military salute, and did not put it down for a long time! He walked past me, stopped, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yi, it is my greatest honor to work with you! Thank you!" After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted me, a very standard military salute! An indescribable emotion welled up in my heart. My eyes were red, but I tried my best not to let my tears flow out. I smiled and said, "Captain Lu, I am too! It is the greatest thing in my life that I know you." It is an honor, I will never forget it!" After speaking, I also saluted him in my own way, bowing deeply to show my respect. He turned around and walked towards the corridor. I suddenly remembered a sentence that I should tell him. If I don’t say it now, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in the future, so I shouted loudly: “Captain Lu, Bai Feng asked me to tell you that she I don't blame you!" After I finished speaking, I turned around and went downstairs, although Bai Feng didn't let me say this, but I know that if she was present, she must have said this!
I sat beside Bai Feng's hospital bed, carefully flipping through the papers in my hand.There are hundreds of names on it, which can be roughly divided into three categories: one is children, the younger ones are one or two years old, and the older ones are four or five years old; There are also some business people who are trapped in City S; the third category is the people at the bottom, the bottom here does not refer to ordinary citizens in the usual sense, but the people at the bottom, those who make a living by begging, It can be seen that the government is very strong this time, and people like this will not be included in the inspection under normal circumstances. I sat on the edge of the bed blankly, looking at Bai Feng's sleeping face, but I was thinking in my mind why these three irrelevant groups of people became the lucky ones?What kind of special antibodies do they have?Can you avoid this almost sweeping "plague"?However, I am not a doctor, and my intelligence is only at the upper-middle level. It is impossible to find the root cause of the matter with only some simple information. I thought about it for a long time, and finally fell asleep lying on the side of the bed dejectedly!
I fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until I felt someone patting my shoulder gently.I opened my sleepy eyes and saw Bai Feng looking at me with a smile. I yawned on purpose and said, "Why are you falling asleep here?" Then I realized that there was a person standing behind me. I turned my head to look, I saw Liu Zheng bent over to pick up a coat and handed it to Bai Feng. It should have been covered by Bai Feng when he woke up in the middle of the night. Liu Zheng said with joy: "Mr. Yi, come out with me!" I followed Liu Zheng out of the door of the ward, only to realize that it was already dawn. "I have good news for you!" Liu said positively with joy. "What good news?" I was surprised. "The test results came out last night. You are one of the only two of us who are not infected. This is the first good news." My heart skipped a beat.Quickly asked: "Who is that one?" "Cai Feng, Doctor Cai!" I nodded and said, "This rules out the possibility of infection from Li Moran's body! So what about the other good news?" "Lu Hua's experiment was successful. He has cleared the toxins in his body. Although it has caused some damage to the immune system, it is not too serious. Doctor Cai said that he will recover soon!" I grabbed Liu Zheng's hand and asked excitedly: "Really?" This is the most exciting news I have heard since I came to S City. "In the morning, Secretary Lin has already issued an order to cut off the moat in the city, and set up two sections of three miles each to carry out infection with corpse water, with men and women on each side, and treatment immediately!" I know that City S is an ancient city. There used to be a moat outside the ancient city, and the new city was built on the original foundation. After decades of development, City S has expanded nearly ten times. It has become a landscape river in the city. Immediately, Liu Zheng and I rushed to the interception site. Several bulldozers made loud noises and filled the river with rocks and soil. Many people were setting up tents and stretched along the river for a long time.Although Lu Hua went to the laboratory wearing a new police uniform last night, he must not soak in the corpse water with his clothes on, because the corpse water is very viscous, and it is impossible to reach the skin if he wears thick clothes.So put up a long shed on the one hand to shelter from the wind, and on the other hand to hide shame! Many workers are installing air conditioners in the tents. Yes, it is late autumn. If there is no air conditioner to adjust the temperature, let alone soaking in water for three hours, I am afraid that people will shake into sieves in ten minutes. A large water pump was placed on the blocked embankment and pumped the water from the river to the other side non-stop. I was slightly surprised. Why did it pump out all the water I needed?But after thinking about it for a while, I understand.The water with corpse poison should be cleaned according to a certain ratio after use. If you don't know the amount of water, you can't make an appropriate dose. Many citizens were stretching their heads to look here, but they didn't dare to get close to it because of the warning along the coast. I'm afraid there has never been a case of using corpse water to cure diseases in this world, and I can't help but feel amused when I think of it.
In the evening, the measurement of the water volume was over, and I followed Cai Feng in the warm greenhouse. He faced the clear river water reflecting the lights, froze for a while, and finally pushed the corpse water in the syringe into the river. The slime stirred up a few splashes in the river water like a solid, and sank with a bang.Then, bursts of grayish-yellow color appeared quickly, and blisters bubbled up, slowly expanding and spreading.It didn't take long for the water surface more than ten meters in front of us to turn yellow and sticky, and a pungent smell spread out.Although a lot of spices were placed in the greenhouse in advance, the stench still couldn't be suppressed. Walking out of the greenhouse, I secretly asked Cai Feng: "When did you come to S City?" Cai Feng replied: "Three years ago, what happened?" I snorted and didn't answer him. I think I may keep this reason as a secret for the rest of my life. All the radios in the city are broadcasting the same message, telling the real situation of the disease, and reporting that the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor will be the first people to go into the water to treat the disease at eight o'clock tomorrow.Yes, the matter has come to this point, it is most unwise to conceal the situation, because smelling the pungent stench and seeing the disgusting corpse water, it is no longer possible for the citizens to jump into the river by talking about the flu. The hospital is stepping up to extract the venom from Bupleurum bupleurum and mix it with various vaccines to make the venom that can destroy corpse water.If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely think that the entire city of S has gone crazy.Although fighting poison with poison is the next policy, it is the only way.
For about half a month after that, everything in the entire city of S came to a standstill. Factories shut down, students suspended classes, and the whole city seemed to be paralyzed for a while.All (those lucky ones can be ignored) are just doing one thing - bathing, soaking themselves in the foul-smelling sticky corpse water to relieve their ailments. I've been stuck in the house for the past few days and didn't go out. It's not because the smell of corpses is wafting over the city, but because I can't help if I go out. Besides, I'm in a bad mood!Although this matter has been investigated to the bottom, but how can not be happy. Twenty days later, the corpse water returned to clarity under the dissolution of the venom, and the culprit of the disease, Green Egg, was also permanently sealed away in a secret place unknown to the public with a special anti-radiation cabinet by the Geological Institute.Citizens have returned to their normal life track, those who go to work are still at work, and beggars in make-up are still kneeling on the side of the street and telling people the tragic experience they made up... Life has returned to ordinary life, and the matter is over, but As if not yet!
Twenty days later, we were waiting in the conference room of the central hospital, waiting for the arrival of Professor Li. There were not only the senior leaders of the city, but also all the medical staff of the central hospital, and of course I, an outsider, Bai Feng and I sat together, and Liu Zheng was on the other side of me. After all, Lu Hua couldn't get out of the shadow in his heart. He chose to leave. After the whole thing was over and all the citizens recovered, he left a paper of resignation and a letter to Bai Feng, and left City S. The police career he has fought for many years.I don't know where he's going, what the future holds.But maybe he will feel better this way, and we all bless him (of course, this is not the last appearance of Lu Hua, because in the future stories of Alien Heroes, Lu Hua will still deal with me, but of course I would not know at the time), Hope he can live happily and happily! Of course Bai Feng didn't open the letter in front of me, but I'm sure she read it with tears, because when I saw her again the next day, her eye circles were swollen like two red apples . At this time, Cai Feng has been promoted to the vice president of the Central Hospital, which is definitely an extraordinary promotion, but compared with his contribution in this incident, this is nothing, and no one in the hospital is dissatisfied. I am so happy for him! We waited for a long time, but we didn't wait for Professor Li to appear. It wasn't until everyone started whispering and feeling restless that we finally got a surprising result. At that time, it was after nine o'clock in the morning, and the doctor who went to invite Professor Li came back with a disc and said that it was found on the desk of Dean Li's office.There is also a note with it, which reads: Play the video for everyone, everything I have to say is on it! The large screen hung down, and the projector began to show the figure of Professor Li. He was sitting on a chair in his office, with a brazier in front of him, bursts of flames were rising inside, and it could be seen that the brazier was used as fuel for sheets of white paper filled with various handwritings. His face was haggard, his hair was disheveled, his cheeks were sunken, and even his eyes that should have been bright were dimmed.But he was wearing a new, crisp suit, Zhou Zheng's tie, and shiny leather shoes, as if he was going to a grand banquet. He smiled slightly, and his voice came out slowly, floating in the large venue: "I'm sorry to invite you here, but I can only say hello to you through this disc, when you see this disc By the time I was there, I had already arrived at the place I wanted to go. Don't come looking for me, you won't find it either!" "I have had a dream since I was a child, dreaming that I can become a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, a guard who can completely defeat the disease. Five years ago, when I thought I had successfully rescued millions of people in S City, I felt that How amazing I am, how proud I am of myself. I feel like I can even change the world. Take everyone out of suffering." "But, I was wrong. No one can change the world, and no one can get rid of illness. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the essence of life, and no one can change it!" "At the beginning, when Mr. Yi came, I scoffed at his point of view! I didn't think that a person without scientific knowledge could solve anything for others, but later, I found that I was wrong, and I slowly understood that science may Not necessarily correct, many things cannot be explained by science. I am sorry to Mr. Yi now, you are right." "I have an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. When Mr. Yi showed me that photo, I realized that I was the culprit. I was the one who caused this disaster. I was the sinner. " "Of course, I know that Mr. Yi may have known the answer a long time ago, but he probably wanted to save some dignity for me, a poor old man, so he didn't say it. Reasons to excuse yourself." "Yes, I am the culprit. If I hadn't used bupleurum in the plague five years ago, maybe things would not have turned out like this. So many people would not have died, millions of people would not have died. Citizens went to get contaminated with the foul-smelling corpse water. Although, at the time, I didn’t know that the Bupleurum bupleurum from Cuishan was used, but this is not the reason I should justify myself.” "This is not an accident, although on the surface, it is indeed an accident. A meteorite from nowhere hit the earth and fell on Cuishan. Bupleurum bupleurum as a pharmaceutical ingredient in vaccines... But, what I want to say is that there are never accidents in the world, accidents are just our own imagination. Since the moment we humans adopt viruses to fight viruses, the bane has been It has been planted, and even if it doesn’t happen today, it will happen in the future. If this is just an accident, then aren’t we human beings also born by accident?” "If I didn't want to change anything, I just did my duty as a doctor, treated patients, and didn't study the nasty CD123 vaccine, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't happen." "Xiao Cai, you are a talent. You are very similar to me when I was young. I forgot about my work and believed in my own abilities. I am very glad to meet you. However, I want to give you a word: don't try to change anything. Don’t let healthy people stay away from diseases, you just need to do your job well as a doctor, and you are a good doctor. I am a lesson from the past, don’t follow in my footsteps, this is the last thing I want to see.” "Yes, there is nothing wrong with having this idea, but many things that seem right when tangled together often turn into an irreparable mistake, which is even worse than what you do out of bad intentions." "Isn't it? Li Moran is a botanist. He wants to develop the improved seeds. This is his job. Is it wrong? As a medical expert and the vice president of the hospital, he wants to use the best medicinal materials for patients. Is it wrong to treat diseases and save money for the hospital? I think that it is not wrong to solve the plague caused by the humid environment of S city for millions of citizens forever! But there is nothing wrong with each of these things In the end, it led to the huge mistake now. Although we have eliminated the trouble of this mutated virus, is this correct? If one day the corpse poison absorbed into our body bursts out suddenly, then who will believe us What you are doing now is the right thing? So don’t think about changing anything, doing what you should do is the greatest contribution.” "Okay, I have to go, we may never see each other again, Secretary Lin, Mayor Ren, Mr. Yi, Director Liu, comrades in the hospital, thank you for listening to me!" After saying this, Professor Li bowed deeply to the camera, and the picture disappeared! The venue fell into silence, and no one spoke. Suddenly, Lin Qing said loudly, "Where did Professor Li go?" I suddenly thought of a place, yes, he must have gone there. Thinking of this, I stood up from my chair and ran to the door. When I arrived at Cuishan, I quickly climbed to the bare top of Cuishan and slipped into the narrow hole.The narrow hole had already been blocked from the inside. When I looked at the smoky black stones that were still emitting heat, I didn't frantically try to open it, because it was obviously too late by then.I knew that Professor Li must be inside, because the four big characters "Do Not Disturb" were written on the stone!I know that if we opened it up it might just be a pile of ashes.Perhaps, Professor Li will feel very at ease if he sleeps here.Why should we disturb the peace of his soul again?
An hour later, I was sitting in the conference room of the Central Hospital, listening to Professor Li's vigorous speech: "We have made two sets of plans in human trials, one is injection, and the dose used is already known, but the corpse It is unconscious. After losing the consciousness of life, its own perception and immune system are gone, so it is impossible to know what effect the injection will have on the living human body. The second solution is to soak in corpse water. After three hours of immersion, the pustules can be completely eliminated. According to our experiments, the effect is similar to that of injections, and the skin of the deceased has not changed. However, as to whether it will cause pain and damage the immune system, this can only be done on a living body. Only through experiments can we know! At least for now, the vital signs of the mice are normal, and there is slight damage to their immune system, but it should be within a tolerable range." This is good news, but the second option is somewhat difficult to implement. In S city with a population of over one million, if everyone needs to soak for 3 hours, then the place to hold the corpse water is a difficult problem to solve. Furthermore, In the future, the disposal of corpse water will be even more difficult. Lin Qing pondered: "Professor Li, which solution do you think is better?" "Of course it is the second type. Since it is not directly injected into the human body, the skin can play a certain protective role, but practical issues are also a factor that needs to be considered!" "So, is there any way to deal with the corpse water?" Ren Yuansheng asked. Professor Li glanced at Cai Feng and motioned for him to answer. This was the first time Cai Feng appeared at the venue, and I could tell that he was also very tired, with a beard growing like weeds on his face, which set off his handsome cheeks very sloppy.At first, I thought Cai Fengfeng was a little nervous, because it was his first time to attend such a high-level meeting, but he just agreed numbly. His exhaustion had left him with no extra energy to be nervous. He cleared his throat and said : "Through my observation of this virus in the past few days, it is a new virus produced by mixing many virus elements, such as polio, measles, chickenpox, etc. My guess is that this virus is a new virus. After the virus elements invade the human body, they integrate many new virus elements originally contained in the human body to mutate and produce new viruses. This integrated new virus is very destructive and can quickly break through the human body's immune system and transform human body fluids. Transformed into a pus substance..." Director Wang interrupted: "Little comrade, just now the mayor asked about the treatment of corpse water, and did not ask about the cause of hair growth!" Professor Li said coldly: "If you don't know the reason, how can you know the result?" Cai Feng continued: "The corpse water can destroy this new virus, and the new virus can also destroy the corpse water naturally. This is the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint. We have already obtained the dosage ratio. The dose of corpse water to restrain the virus is 1:20. , the human body does not need to limit the dose. The dose of the virus to restrain the corpse water is 1:40. As long as we inject a certain amount of virus into the corpse water, the purpose of cleaning the corpse water can be achieved. But we still don’t know what virus is integrated These viruses!" When I heard his words, although I was still not sure, I still said, "I might know!" All eyes turned to me again, and I took out the three pieces of paper with data analyzed by Professor Fang Tianxin and handed them to Cai Feng, saying, "That kind of toxin should be contained in the Bupleurum chinensis on Cuishan!" The professor repeated what he had said to me.Of course, I deliberately skipped the part about Li Moran. Cai Feng and Professor Li nodded after listening to my words. Ren Yuansheng asked in puzzlement: "Xiao Cai, I don't understand how these toxins can be mixed into one person's body?" Cai Feng smiled bitterly: "Vaccinate!" Everyone fell silent. Yes, since humans have developed the method of vaccination, it has been widely adopted by countries all over the world. It has also become the first choice for preventing major infectious diseases, endemic diseases, and difficult diseases in the world.A small amount of virus is injected to make the human body produce antibodies against the virus, which prevents the introduction of the virus.This is indeed the best way to prevent problems before they happen.But who would have thought that these seemingly insignificant toxins would become a fatal disease capable of changing a person under the integration of another new virus!Perhaps, when parents vaccinated newborn babies in their arms, no one would have thought that there would be today's results!Is the development of medical technology a kind of progress or a kind of regression?no one knows! "Okay!" Lin Qing said, "Mr. Yi has done another great service for us, which also proves that the strange stone is indeed the culprit of this disease! Mr. Gong, what is your result?" Gong Laodao: "Yes, this stone egg is very radioactive. As Mr. Yi said, we have tested its material. Although we can't confirm its composition, we can be sure that it is not the earth. The material possessed by the world!" "Well!" Lin Qing said with a smile, "The whole thing has been revealed. It is the radiation of this meteorite that caused the generation of new viruses, and this new virus is highly contagious. When it infects the human body At that time, the original toxins of the human body were integrated to form this kind of pustules! I also talk about the results of the physical examination of the citizens. Up to now, 90% of the people tested have been infected with this virus. I think this proportion is basically the same. It is close to the actual ratio, and this is a cruel situation we must face. Director Liu, your public security system must do a good job of blocking all traffic roads entering and leaving the city." Liu Zheng nodded and said, "We have started this work in accordance with the requirements of the city government since this morning." "Okay, let's go here, the meeting is over, Professor Li, please stay." Lin Qing waved his hand and said. After everyone went out, only Professor Li, Lin Qing, and Liu Zheng stayed in the room. Although I had some things to ask Professor Li, I went outside first and waited for him to come out.I know the reason why they stayed, for the quota of the first live experimenter.Lin Qing naturally wanted to persuade Professor Li to allow him to do it, and the reason why Liu Zheng stayed was to fight for Lu Hua! When I was wondering whose request Professor Li would agree to, I suddenly saw a person walking staggeringly in the corridor, walking slowly while reaching out to the wall.Seeing the layers of gauze wrapped around his head, I knew who it was without looking at his face! He walked up to me, smiled slightly, and called out with a slight stutter: "Mr. Yi?" Maybe he has mastered the way of speaking when his tongue is short in this short period of time, although he still stutters very badly, but I can already hear what I said clearly! I said apologetically, "Captain Lu, are you feeling better?" Lu Hua smiled wryly, and said, "It's much better, thank you! Is Professor Li in there?" I nod. He walked towards the door with slow steps, and seemed to remember something, stopped suddenly, without turning back, and said in a low voice: "I apologize to you for what happened that night, please forgive me. In addition, please One thing, take good care of Bai Feng!" After speaking, he opened the door and walked in. In fact, I wanted to say that Bai Feng didn't blame you, but before I could speak, he had already disappeared into the closed door. I stood at the door for more than ten minutes before I saw the door was pushed open. Lin Qing and Liu Zheng helped Lu Hua come out, and walked slowly towards the end of the corridor, as if they were helping someone who was about to go to the execution ground like a martyr.I know, Lu Hua succeeded! Professor Li walked behind with his head down, maybe he was moved by Lu Hua's performance just now. I don't need to think about it, but I know that Lu Hua must have put in a lot of effort to get this opportunity.He saw me standing at the door and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" I nodded, took out the photo from my pocket, handed it to him, and asked, "Professor Li, do you know him?" Professor Li just glanced at it, and said, "Of course, he used to be the vice president of our hospital, a good doctor with great medical ethics! Why do you have his photo?" So I told the story of going to the Zijinxiang flower market, and then asked: "Do you know how he died? I suspect that his death is also related to this disease!" Professor Li's face became ugly, he stared blankly at the photo and posted it for a long time, then said: "This is unlikely, he seems to have died of myocardial infarction. I was visiting other places at the time, and when I came back, he had already been buried. Already!" I sighed, knowing that this clue was broken, but even if we can be sure that Dean Qi Si Nong also died of pustules, so what?It was nothing more than adding another weight to this tragedy. I felt relieved when I thought of this, so I had to express my deeper worries: "I am afraid that this Professor Qi has used Bupleurum bupleurum on Cuishan as a medicine. Has the patient been treated? If so, is there any medicine in the hospital pharmacy now? This may leave a legacy of disaster!" Professor Li shook his body and denied loudly: "Impossible, impossible! The bupleurum in the hospital is all imported from other places. How could it be from Cuishan?" Seeing that he was about to get angry, I thought that what I said was really disrespectful to slander the deceased, so I had no choice but to swallow the following words. Professor Li was obviously very excited, and walked towards the corridor with big strides, holding the photo tightly in his hand. I shrugged my shoulders and went downstairs to the small restaurant at the door. Yes, it was past nine o'clock, and it was time for dinner.
At twelve o'clock in the night, I arrived at the entrance of the hospital's examination room on time, and saw the leaders of the city lingering uneasily at the entrance, and the doctor in charge of registration kept patting his head with his palms, and kept recording examinations all day long. It is not an easy task for anyone to obtain the name information of the applicant. When it was my turn, I took the pen in his hand and filled out the information myself. In addition to the information, there was also a column of content filled in by the hospital doctor, which was about the test results of infection.The page I was on was basically infected people, with the exception of one person's name. I wondered if I could be another exception with a secret smile in my heart. I turned around and suddenly became interested in these uninfected people, so I asked: "Can you make a copy of the uninfected people's information for me? I want to see it!" The doctor glanced at me and said, "Okay, you can go to the room and make a photocopy yourself!" He picked up a few other sheets of paper on the table and handed them to me, pointing to a room on one side. I walked into that office with a few lists of lucky winners.
After finishing the routine inspection, I wanted to go to Baifeng House to see who these lucky ones were. At the entrance of the stairs, I saw Liu Zheng and several policemen helping Lu Hua put on a brand new police uniform.I knew that Lu Hua was going to walk into that smelly laboratory and lie in the turbid yellow sewage filled with corpse poison. I don't know what the result would be?Perhaps this is the last time in his life that he will wear a police uniform. I froze on the ground, the corners of my eyes were a little wet, I didn't know whether I should go over to comfort him or see him off silently. Lu Hua was very happy and looked very happy. Zhou Zheng straightened his police cap and gave a standard military salute to Liu Zheng and his colleagues.He turned around and walked towards the corridor where I was - from here to the door that determines life and death. He marched with high morale, as if he was going to receive a medal.I know that in his heart, this life-and-death test is undoubtedly a solemn review, something that a soldier and a policeman should be proud of.Liu Zheng and his colleagues stood at attention, deeply respecting Lu Hua's back with an extremely standard military salute, and did not put it down for a long time! He walked past me, stopped, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yi, it is my greatest honor to work with you! Thank you!" After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted me, a very standard military salute! An indescribable emotion welled up in my heart. My eyes were red, but I tried my best not to let my tears flow out. I smiled and said, "Captain Lu, I am too! It is the greatest thing in my life that I know you." It is an honor, I will never forget it!" After speaking, I also saluted him in my own way, bowing deeply to show my respect. He turned around and walked towards the corridor. I suddenly remembered a sentence that I should tell him. If I don’t say it now, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in the future, so I shouted loudly: “Captain Lu, Bai Feng asked me to tell you that she I don't blame you!" After I finished speaking, I turned around and went downstairs, although Bai Feng didn't let me say this, but I know that if she was present, she must have said this!
I sat beside Bai Feng's hospital bed, carefully flipping through the papers in my hand.There are hundreds of names on it, which can be roughly divided into three categories: one is children, the younger ones are one or two years old, and the older ones are four or five years old; There are also some business people who are trapped in City S; the third category is the people at the bottom, the bottom here does not refer to ordinary citizens in the usual sense, but the people at the bottom, those who make a living by begging, It can be seen that the government is very strong this time, and people like this will not be included in the inspection under normal circumstances. I sat on the edge of the bed blankly, looking at Bai Feng's sleeping face, but I was thinking in my mind why these three irrelevant groups of people became the lucky ones?What kind of special antibodies do they have?Can you avoid this almost sweeping "plague"?However, I am not a doctor, and my intelligence is only at the upper-middle level. It is impossible to find the root cause of the matter with only some simple information. I thought about it for a long time, and finally fell asleep lying on the side of the bed dejectedly!
I fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until I felt someone patting my shoulder gently.I opened my sleepy eyes and saw Bai Feng looking at me with a smile. I yawned on purpose and said, "Why are you falling asleep here?" Then I realized that there was a person standing behind me. I turned my head to look, I saw Liu Zheng bent over to pick up a coat and handed it to Bai Feng. It should have been covered by Bai Feng when he woke up in the middle of the night. Liu Zheng said with joy: "Mr. Yi, come out with me!" I followed Liu Zheng out of the door of the ward, only to realize that it was already dawn. "I have good news for you!" Liu said positively with joy. "What good news?" I was surprised. "The test results came out last night. You are one of the only two of us who are not infected. This is the first good news." My heart skipped a beat.Quickly asked: "Who is that one?" "Cai Feng, Doctor Cai!" I nodded and said, "This rules out the possibility of infection from Li Moran's body! So what about the other good news?" "Lu Hua's experiment was successful. He has cleared the toxins in his body. Although it has caused some damage to the immune system, it is not too serious. Doctor Cai said that he will recover soon!" I grabbed Liu Zheng's hand and asked excitedly: "Really?" This is the most exciting news I have heard since I came to S City. "In the morning, Secretary Lin has already issued an order to cut off the moat in the city, and set up two sections of three miles each to carry out infection with corpse water, with men and women on each side, and treatment immediately!" I know that City S is an ancient city. There used to be a moat outside the ancient city, and the new city was built on the original foundation. After decades of development, City S has expanded nearly ten times. It has become a landscape river in the city. Immediately, Liu Zheng and I rushed to the interception site. Several bulldozers made loud noises and filled the river with rocks and soil. Many people were setting up tents and stretched along the river for a long time.Although Lu Hua went to the laboratory wearing a new police uniform last night, he must not soak in the corpse water with his clothes on, because the corpse water is very viscous, and it is impossible to reach the skin if he wears thick clothes.So put up a long shed on the one hand to shelter from the wind, and on the other hand to hide shame! Many workers are installing air conditioners in the tents. Yes, it is late autumn. If there is no air conditioner to adjust the temperature, let alone soaking in water for three hours, I am afraid that people will shake into sieves in ten minutes. A large water pump was placed on the blocked embankment and pumped the water from the river to the other side non-stop. I was slightly surprised. Why did it pump out all the water I needed?But after thinking about it for a while, I understand.The water with corpse poison should be cleaned according to a certain ratio after use. If you don't know the amount of water, you can't make an appropriate dose. Many citizens were stretching their heads to look here, but they didn't dare to get close to it because of the warning along the coast. I'm afraid there has never been a case of using corpse water to cure diseases in this world, and I can't help but feel amused when I think of it.
In the evening, the measurement of the water volume was over, and I followed Cai Feng in the warm greenhouse. He faced the clear river water reflecting the lights, froze for a while, and finally pushed the corpse water in the syringe into the river. The slime stirred up a few splashes in the river water like a solid, and sank with a bang.Then, bursts of grayish-yellow color appeared quickly, and blisters bubbled up, slowly expanding and spreading.It didn't take long for the water surface more than ten meters in front of us to turn yellow and sticky, and a pungent smell spread out.Although a lot of spices were placed in the greenhouse in advance, the stench still couldn't be suppressed. Walking out of the greenhouse, I secretly asked Cai Feng: "When did you come to S City?" Cai Feng replied: "Three years ago, what happened?" I snorted and didn't answer him. I think I may keep this reason as a secret for the rest of my life. All the radios in the city are broadcasting the same message, telling the real situation of the disease, and reporting that the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor will be the first people to go into the water to treat the disease at eight o'clock tomorrow.Yes, the matter has come to this point, it is most unwise to conceal the situation, because smelling the pungent stench and seeing the disgusting corpse water, it is no longer possible for the citizens to jump into the river by talking about the flu. The hospital is stepping up to extract the venom from Bupleurum bupleurum and mix it with various vaccines to make the venom that can destroy corpse water.If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely think that the entire city of S has gone crazy.Although fighting poison with poison is the next policy, it is the only way.
For about half a month after that, everything in the entire city of S came to a standstill. Factories shut down, students suspended classes, and the whole city seemed to be paralyzed for a while.All (those lucky ones can be ignored) are just doing one thing - bathing, soaking themselves in the foul-smelling sticky corpse water to relieve their ailments. I've been stuck in the house for the past few days and didn't go out. It's not because the smell of corpses is wafting over the city, but because I can't help if I go out. Besides, I'm in a bad mood!Although this matter has been investigated to the bottom, but how can not be happy. Twenty days later, the corpse water returned to clarity under the dissolution of the venom, and the culprit of the disease, Green Egg, was also permanently sealed away in a secret place unknown to the public with a special anti-radiation cabinet by the Geological Institute.Citizens have returned to their normal life track, those who go to work are still at work, and beggars in make-up are still kneeling on the side of the street and telling people the tragic experience they made up... Life has returned to ordinary life, and the matter is over, but As if not yet!
Twenty days later, we were waiting in the conference room of the central hospital, waiting for the arrival of Professor Li. There were not only the senior leaders of the city, but also all the medical staff of the central hospital, and of course I, an outsider, Bai Feng and I sat together, and Liu Zheng was on the other side of me. After all, Lu Hua couldn't get out of the shadow in his heart. He chose to leave. After the whole thing was over and all the citizens recovered, he left a paper of resignation and a letter to Bai Feng, and left City S. The police career he has fought for many years.I don't know where he's going, what the future holds.But maybe he will feel better this way, and we all bless him (of course, this is not the last appearance of Lu Hua, because in the future stories of Alien Heroes, Lu Hua will still deal with me, but of course I would not know at the time), Hope he can live happily and happily! Of course Bai Feng didn't open the letter in front of me, but I'm sure she read it with tears, because when I saw her again the next day, her eye circles were swollen like two red apples . At this time, Cai Feng has been promoted to the vice president of the Central Hospital, which is definitely an extraordinary promotion, but compared with his contribution in this incident, this is nothing, and no one in the hospital is dissatisfied. I am so happy for him! We waited for a long time, but we didn't wait for Professor Li to appear. It wasn't until everyone started whispering and feeling restless that we finally got a surprising result. At that time, it was after nine o'clock in the morning, and the doctor who went to invite Professor Li came back with a disc and said that it was found on the desk of Dean Li's office.There is also a note with it, which reads: Play the video for everyone, everything I have to say is on it! The large screen hung down, and the projector began to show the figure of Professor Li. He was sitting on a chair in his office, with a brazier in front of him, bursts of flames were rising inside, and it could be seen that the brazier was used as fuel for sheets of white paper filled with various handwritings. His face was haggard, his hair was disheveled, his cheeks were sunken, and even his eyes that should have been bright were dimmed.But he was wearing a new, crisp suit, Zhou Zheng's tie, and shiny leather shoes, as if he was going to a grand banquet. He smiled slightly, and his voice came out slowly, floating in the large venue: "I'm sorry to invite you here, but I can only say hello to you through this disc, when you see this disc By the time I was there, I had already arrived at the place I wanted to go. Don't come looking for me, you won't find it either!" "I have had a dream since I was a child, dreaming that I can become a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, a guard who can completely defeat the disease. Five years ago, when I thought I had successfully rescued millions of people in S City, I felt that How amazing I am, how proud I am of myself. I feel like I can even change the world. Take everyone out of suffering." "But, I was wrong. No one can change the world, and no one can get rid of illness. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the essence of life, and no one can change it!" "At the beginning, when Mr. Yi came, I scoffed at his point of view! I didn't think that a person without scientific knowledge could solve anything for others, but later, I found that I was wrong, and I slowly understood that science may Not necessarily correct, many things cannot be explained by science. I am sorry to Mr. Yi now, you are right." "I have an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. When Mr. Yi showed me that photo, I realized that I was the culprit. I was the one who caused this disaster. I was the sinner. " "Of course, I know that Mr. Yi may have known the answer a long time ago, but he probably wanted to save some dignity for me, a poor old man, so he didn't say it. Reasons to excuse yourself." "Yes, I am the culprit. If I hadn't used bupleurum in the plague five years ago, maybe things would not have turned out like this. So many people would not have died, millions of people would not have died. Citizens went to get contaminated with the foul-smelling corpse water. Although, at the time, I didn’t know that the Bupleurum bupleurum from Cuishan was used, but this is not the reason I should justify myself.” "This is not an accident, although on the surface, it is indeed an accident. A meteorite from nowhere hit the earth and fell on Cuishan. Bupleurum bupleurum as a pharmaceutical ingredient in vaccines... But, what I want to say is that there are never accidents in the world, accidents are just our own imagination. Since the moment we humans adopt viruses to fight viruses, the bane has been It has been planted, and even if it doesn’t happen today, it will happen in the future. If this is just an accident, then aren’t we human beings also born by accident?” "If I didn't want to change anything, I just did my duty as a doctor, treated patients, and didn't study the nasty CD123 vaccine, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't happen." "Xiao Cai, you are a talent. You are very similar to me when I was young. I forgot about my work and believed in my own abilities. I am very glad to meet you. However, I want to give you a word: don't try to change anything. Don’t let healthy people stay away from diseases, you just need to do your job well as a doctor, and you are a good doctor. I am a lesson from the past, don’t follow in my footsteps, this is the last thing I want to see.” "Yes, there is nothing wrong with having this idea, but many things that seem right when tangled together often turn into an irreparable mistake, which is even worse than what you do out of bad intentions." "Isn't it? Li Moran is a botanist. He wants to develop the improved seeds. This is his job. Is it wrong? As a medical expert and the vice president of the hospital, he wants to use the best medicinal materials for patients. Is it wrong to treat diseases and save money for the hospital? I think that it is not wrong to solve the plague caused by the humid environment of S city for millions of citizens forever! But there is nothing wrong with each of these things In the end, it led to the huge mistake now. Although we have eliminated the trouble of this mutated virus, is this correct? If one day the corpse poison absorbed into our body bursts out suddenly, then who will believe us What you are doing now is the right thing? So don’t think about changing anything, doing what you should do is the greatest contribution.” "Okay, I have to go, we may never see each other again, Secretary Lin, Mayor Ren, Mr. Yi, Director Liu, comrades in the hospital, thank you for listening to me!" After saying this, Professor Li bowed deeply to the camera, and the picture disappeared! The venue fell into silence, and no one spoke. Suddenly, Lin Qing said loudly, "Where did Professor Li go?" I suddenly thought of a place, yes, he must have gone there. Thinking of this, I stood up from my chair and ran to the door. When I arrived at Cuishan, I quickly climbed to the bare top of Cuishan and slipped into the narrow hole.The narrow hole had already been blocked from the inside. When I looked at the smoky black stones that were still emitting heat, I didn't frantically try to open it, because it was obviously too late by then.I knew that Professor Li must be inside, because the four big characters "Do Not Disturb" were written on the stone!I know that if we opened it up it might just be a pile of ashes.Perhaps, Professor Li will feel very at ease if he sleeps here.Why should we disturb the peace of his soul again?
