At 10 o'clock at noon, the transfer car of Zhonghai Hospital had arrived at the First Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangzhou City.

Although I had made an appointment on the way here, I had to stay in the emergency observation room first because there were no beds.

7th Floor, Testing Center, Prion Research Group.

Dong Wenying is doing data reports in the office.

She is now Zhou Wen's assistant, and her daily task is to help Zhou Wen sort out data and write various material reports.

Including checking the bills with the finance office, she is responsible for it, and she can be regarded as the "housekeeper".

"Jingle bell—"

The mobile phone on the table rang, Dong Wenying picked it up and saw that it was actually from the emergency department.

"Hey, Dr. Zhang...... Now, okay, I'll come right over. ”

Dong Wenying put down the phone and hurriedly went to the emergency observation room.

When she arrived at the emergency observation room, Dong Wenying found Dr. Zhang, who called her, and asked, "What's the situation?"

Dr. Zhang pulled Dong Wenying into the office and said, "Just now, there is a special case transferred from Zhonghai, which has been diagnosed with prion protein infection, and it has reached the middle and advanced stages, and is in a coma, and our advice is not accepted, what do you think?"

"That's right...... Then I'll give you a call and ask. Dong Wenying took out her mobile phone and dialed Zhou Wen's number.

After a while, Dong Wenying put down the phone and said, "Zhou Group didn't answer the phone, it should be in the laboratory, or you can take me to see the patient's condition first." ”

"Okay, you come with me......"

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Jiangzhou Science and Technology Park.

Zhou Wen and Li Wenshuo walked out of the laboratory side by side, and the two of them talked about some conjectural possibilities of prion inactivation as they walked.

During this time, he has been immersed in the laboratory with Li Wenshuo, experimenting with various conventional methods to inactivate prions, but there is no effect.

Currently, only strong protein denaturants can kill prions, such as phenol.

Of course, if you use an alcohol blowtorch to burn it directly at 1,000 degrees Celsius, it will definitely work.

It's just that at this temperature, it is difficult for any organic matter to survive.

Unless it's for the complete destruction of the infected, there's not much that can be done if you're just trying to kill the prions and keep the normal parts.

Because prions are actually just a protein, and they look like normal proteins.

Therefore, if you can destroy him, you must also destroy the normal protein, but if you can destroy the normal protein, you may not be able to destroy it.

For example, bacteria decompose, and because proteases have difficulty breaking down prions, bacteria are also powerless.

After arriving at the office, Zhou Wen saw the call from Dong Wenying and called back.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wen said: "Just now a prion patient was transferred from Zhonghai, and the lesions of the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia caused by prion proteins are now in a deep coma. ”

Li Wenshuo was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, yes, let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Because pron patients in China are relatively rare, especially when they are alive, it is basically impossible to extract specimens, and they are all postmortem craniotomy, resulting in very few cases of live studies.

That's why Li Wenshuo was more excited.

"Well, let's go, go over and see ......"

The two of them didn't even have time to eat lunch, so they rushed to the First People's Hospital.

In the emergency observation room, Zhou Wen met the patient Yan Hua.

Although the probability of infection in prion patients is very low, almost none.

However, Zhonghai Hospital and Jiangzhou Hospital have done comprehensive isolation treatment, and now Yan Hua is placed in a medical isolation cabin.

In order to prevent the spread of aerosols, even the air inside is collected and disposed of separately.

Dong Wenying took a stack of test sheets and handed them to him and said, "This is the test data from Zhonghai." ”

Zhou Wen took it and took a look, there was no valuable information, mainly the situation of the patient in the early, middle and late stages after the illness.

These range from insomnia, depression, fatigue, and decreased concentration at the beginning, to damage to the cerebral cortex, vertebral tract, and extravertebral system in the middle stage.

The main symptoms include dementia and tremors.

Until now, there was a coma.

This process lasted less than half a year.

According to the current situation, Yan Hua has a month to live at most, and he will die of various complications at that time.

Li Wenshuo looked at the test report and frowned: "His onset speed is so fast!"

Zhou Wen asked, "What do you think?"

"Uh......" Li Wenshuo said after a moment of silence, "it should be that he has been in direct contact with the pathogen or has eaten the brain marrow of an animal infected with prion protein." ”

Zhou Wen nodded, "Yes, I think so too." ”

Li Wenshuo closed the test report and sighed: "There is no need for treatment." ”

Zhou Wen nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Yan Hua's daughter, who was talking to the attending doctor, came straight to Zhou Wen, knelt down straight, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Doctor, please save my father......"

"Hurry up, hurry up......"

Just when everyone went to pull the girl, Zhou Wen heard a system prompt sound in his ears.

“…… You won't let me save people, will you?" Zhou Wen was speechless.

The prion protein had already caused severe damage to Yan Hua's brain, and it was impossible to save him.

It's useless for the Da Luo Immortal to come.

He turned on the system and looked at it.

[Mission: Yan Yan's voice.

Description: Yan Yan wants to take back her mother's property.

Requirements: Let Yan Hua wake up for 24 hours.

Rewards: 5,000 XP, 5,000 Points, 1 Uncrate (Bronze)】

"What the hell is this task?" Seeing the task description, Zhou Wen couldn't help but complain.

However, after seeing the request, Zhou Wen had another headache.

Let's not talk about whether Yan Hua can be sober for 24 hours, if you want to change the will, then Yan Hua must have full civil capacity.

But the problem is that Yan Hua's brain has been damaged by the infection of prion proteins, and even if he wakes up, he doesn't know if his mind is still abnormal?

"Forget it, let's save it first!" Zhou Wen sighed helplessly in his mind, and said to the person in charge of the emergency department: "Transfer to our testing center." ”

The head of the emergency department hesitated: "But the patient's condition is ......"

Zhou Wen: "I know, let's transfer it first." ”

"Okay~" Since Zhou Wen insisted, they couldn't say anything.

Soon, Yan Hua was sent to the isolation ward of the testing center, next door to Hou Baoguo.

Yan Hua's daughter Yan Yan and son Yan Xuejun also came in.

Li Wenshuo asked, "What should I do next?"

Li Wenshuo's words are actually in vain.

The pron is a terminal disease, not to mention that it is still in the advanced stage, and now in addition to some vitamins and antibiotics, the rest is to wait for death.

"Let's do a full test. ”

Huang Xingzhong, who was standing on the side waiting, nodded in response, then went to put on a fully enclosed isolation suit and entered the isolation cabin to collect specimens.

Zhou Wen's stomach rumbled at this time, so he and Li Wenshuo went downstairs to have lunch first.

……

Loucheng County, Jiangzhou City, a high-end villa area.

In the tea room of one of the luxury villas, Hou Xiangjie was drinking tea and chatting with four or five old friends, including Jiang Dalong, Tang Xiaoli and others.

Tang Xiaoli, a young woman standing in front of the window, looked at the tree-lined back garden, and said with a smile: "Lao Hou, this villa is good, how much does it cost?"

Hou Xiangjie said with a smile: "When I bought it in 15 years, it was less than 6 million. ”

"6 million, it's really cheap! If this villa were shelved in Jinhu District, it would be worth at least 30 million now. ”

"Xiaoli, you still need to envy me, the British flower villa in the center of your Zhonghai city may be hundreds of millions now, right?"

"Hehe, no, it's only 80 million~"

"Tut-tut, big guy, listen, 80 million, that's all, it's really infuriating~"

"Hahahaha......"

One of the men wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled: "I knew that I was also flipping houses with you at the beginning~ The entity has worked hard for a year, and the profit is not as much as your few suites." ”

Jiang Dalong said with a smile: "Mr. Wei said that he was laughing~ No matter how much the house is speculated, it is just a small role, and it can't be put on the stage."

Unlike Mr. Wei's company, although the profit may not be too high, it is indeed a local pillar industry, and Loucheng has to give you three points of face in all aspects, which we can't catch up. ”

"yes. Lou Cheng mentioned Mr. Wei and Mr. Dai here, who is not allowed to give three points of face. ”

"I'm embarrassed to tell others outside, I'm a speculator, I'm afraid of being bricked~"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed along.

After some business blowing, Wei Xiuyuan Wei stood up and pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile: "Lao Hou, go out for a walk." ”

When Hou Xiangjie heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand and followed Wei Xiuyuan out of the tearoom.

The two of them walked slowly along the path in the garden.

Wei Xiuyuan smiled: "There is something I want to consult, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Hou Xiangjie said with a big grin: "What else is polite between us, if there is something to say, just say hello, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse." ”

Wei Xiuyuan smiled and said, "That...... I heard that Lao Hou is in poor health, I don't know how you are now?"

"Uh......" Hou Xiangjie was suddenly embarrassed, "These guys, talking nonsense all day long, I'm in good health, how can it be so exaggerated as they say." ”

Wei Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I don't seem to have said anything, right?"

Hou Xiangjie: "............"

Hou Xiangjie finally admitted: "It's a fact, but it's much better now~"

Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly asked, "Oh, what kind of medicine are you taking?"

When Hou Xiangjie heard Wei Xiuyuan's meaning, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you ...... old Wei too?"

Although Wei Xiuyuan and him know each other, they are not in a circle, and they usually can't play together.

This time the party also posted a circle of friends casually, and Wei Xiuyuan actually liked and left a message for him.

Then he invited Wei Xiuyuan to come to his house for a gathering.

I didn't expect the other party to really come.

Wei Xiuyuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to push the frame, nodded embarrassedly and said, "There is indeed a small problem......
