Chapter 183: Doomsday Virus (New Year's Greetings to Everyone!)
Tang Chuan and Bai Yuanzhi came to the CDC, Bai Yuanzhi arranged for someone to take Tang Chuan to the corresponding quarantine area, and he went to the meeting.
Putting on a full isolation gown, Tang Chuan walked into the ward of the quarantine area, accompanied by a young doctor surnamed Zheng, who was supposed to be a graduate student led by an expert.
"Of these suspected patients, the earliest one was found here for 14 days, and the latest was eight days old.
At present, except for the earliest patient No. 1, the rest of the patients are very stable, there is no sign of transformation into the living dead, and all physical indicators are within the normal range, and there are no specific changes.
To be honest, I doubt that the people of Dongying are deliberately spreading the so-called zombie apocalypse virus, if it is really a virus that can cause people to become zombies, it must be a little too mild, right?"
Dr. Zheng may also have seen that Tang Chuan was very young, so he was much more bold when he spoke.
Tang Chuan didn't respond, just made a quiet gesture, and then stood in front of the bed of the patient who came in late.
At this moment, his perception has enveloped the suspected patient in front of him, who has been in this place for 8 days and is now asleep.
Tang Chuan used a new detection method to infiltrate a trace of his own soul power into the patient's blood circulatory system.
With the flow of blood, Tang Chuan can clearly perceive the situation in the patient's blood, which is clearly reflected in his mind, even more clearly than angiography.
At the same time, Tang Chuan separated another trace of soul power and turned into a needle and entered the patient's spiritual platform space.
Tang Chuan noticed that the patient's entire spiritual platform space was much dimmer than that of ordinary normal people, and then looked at the patient's soul body, which was walking on the spiritual platform in a strange posture at this time.
Seeing this walking posture, Tang Chuan's face changed.
This is the standard walking posture of zombies in movie games, with their hands hanging down at their sides, their heads slightly crooked, and their legs slightly bent, walking as if they were dragging their legs.
The zombie virus can affect the soul body???
Tang Chuan was completely shocked, after all, in his opinion, viruses are all aimed at the human body, but now the state of the patient's soul body is obviously affected by the virus.
A chill emanated from the bottom of his heart, and Tang Chuan's whole body couldn't help but tremble a little, a virus that can affect the soul body, which means that it is also a huge threat to himself!
Another name for zombies is the living dead, does it mean that even if a human is dead, the soul body may not be able to disperse, so that it can still control the body?
In this way, zombies also have souls, why does this thing sound so awkward.
Tang Chuan thinks that it is better to put it another way, for example, if the soul body is sick, the body will show the state of a dead person, but in fact, the person is not dead, as long as the soul body is treated, the body may be able to recover.
In an instant, Tang Chuan's thoughts turned back and forth, and his soul power needle pierced directly into the patient's soul body, Tang Chuan wanted to perceive the difference between the soul body in the state of virus invasion.
This was the first time that Tang Chuan had infiltrated his soul power into someone else's soul body, and in an instant, he felt a tyrannical and decadent mood, and something invisible swallowed his soul power needle in an instant!
Tang Chuan's heart was shocked, this virus is really domineering, it can actually devour his soul power, then he can't use his soul power as an attack method, otherwise it will be a food delivery.
Tang Chuan was thinking here, and Dr. Zheng next to him was a little inexplicable, seeing that Tang Chuan didn't speak for a long time, just being there in a daze.
He said to Tang Chuan: "This No. 9 patient has been here for the shortest time, and according to the information we have exchanged with other countries, the doomsday virus should have an incubation period of about two weeks.
After the incubation period, the disease will occur, and the body will begin to appear corpse-degenerating, and at the same time, there will be a tendency to tyranny, and there is a special sensitivity to blood, and it wants to suck blood. ”
Tang Chuan came back to his senses and asked, "Then how many patients do we have here who are already in a state of illness?"
"Only the earliest patient No. 1, who has been ill for two days. It has been 13 days since I came here on the 2nd to the 4th, and it is expected that I will become ill tomorrow.
When Patient 1 became ill, he was placed in a closed ward in the basement due to his apparent violent tendencies. Dr. Cheng said.
Tang Chuan immediately asked, "Can you take me to see it?"
"Yes, Commissioner Bai has explained, you can contact and observe the 9 suspected patients here. Come with me. ”
After speaking, Dr. Zheng led Tang Chuan through a long corridor, and introduced as he walked: "There are currently a total of 9 suspected patients here, and there are all the wards on both sides of the corridor, and only the No. 1 patient has been moved to the basement ward. ”
"Since the patient has violent tendencies, how did you control him and move the ward?" asked Tang Chuan as he used his soul power to comprehensively explore the physical condition of the patients in the wards on both sides of the corridor.
This is just in the coverage of the newly laid Jasper network in Tangchuan, so Tangchuan will detect the patient's blood image situation, through the soul perception for the first time, transmitted to the nearest Jasper network node, and then transmitted to the villa, through the information exchanger, stored in the villa's computer.
"Although the patient began to be autoclaved at this time, he was still able to be anesthetized, and we moved him to the basement after anesthetizing him. We have tested that when a patient is agitated, the strength is much greater than normal, and usually neither of them will be able to hold him down. ”
As the two spoke, they walked down the hallway to an elevator hall and took the elevator to the basement.
Tang Chuan's perception had already "seen" the patient in the closed ward in advance, and at this time, the patient was slowly walking around the ward like a zombie in the movie.
Tang Chuan suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "Doctor Zheng, according to the description in the movie game, it is the T virus that causes the appearance of zombies, and this T virus can be transmitted through air, water, etc., and it is precisely because of this that it has led to the end of the world in the movie game.
So the virus you're working on now is different from the movie game, isn't the virus not airborne?"
Dr. Zheng nodded and said, "This is the most fortunate thing for everyone, although the patient's symptoms are very similar to the zombies in the movie, but he does not carry any virus in his body!"
We did all the biochemical tests and found that there were no special viruses in the patient's body, not even any special bacteria.
And that's what bothers the medical community in various countries the most, because without the virus, how did the patient develop symptoms? How did he get sick? And the body still has this phenomenon of necropsy transformation. ”
"You mean, no virus was found at all? So how did the patient get this disease? Have you ever understood?" Tang Chuan was so shocked, did this doomsday virus not spread through the human body?
Dr. Zheng said affirmatively: "You heard it right, we have researched so far, and we have indeed not found the existence of the virus, and not only in China, but also in all the countries where suspected infections have been found, the virus has not been found.
We don't know about the other patients, but the 9 patients here all have one thing in common, that is, they had been to the vicinity of the floating islands of Dongying Province a day or two before the incident, and they probably all traveled within 50 kilometers.
This has been reflected in the Milican and Dongying countries, which have set up 100 kilometers around the floating island as a restricted area, and there are no living creatures in the restricted area at present.
If no new suspected cases are found outside the restricted area for more than a month, that is, by November 30, the alarm for the entire doomsday virus will be completely lifted, and the lockdown of Dongying will also be lifted. ”
Tang Chuan muttered: "So, now the countries initially believe that there is something in the forbidden area of the East Ying Country that causes this disease, but once you leave there, there will be no new sick people, so it is confirmed that this disease is not contagious." ”
"Yes, if there are no suspected cases of infection outside the exclusion zone, then the doomsday virus is certainly not contagious. Dr. Cheng further explained.
As they spoke, they had come to the outside of the closed ward, where the entire wall was made of one-way transparent glass, and the two of them stood outside, and could clearly see the patient's condition, but the patient did not know that there was someone outside.
It's just that Tang Chuan didn't think so, and as soon as he and Dr. Zheng arrived, he noticed that the patient had looked up at the location of the two of them, and then lowered his head.
"He must be able to see the two of us!"
Tang Chuan made such a judgment almost immediately, and at the same time, he pierced the soul power needle into the patient's eyebrows.
In an instant, a somewhat dark Lingtai space appeared in Tang Chuan's perception, and in this dark Lingtai space, the patient's soul body had undergone tremendous changes.
Ordinary soul bodies are usually a little illusory, looking a little gray, while people with stronger souls will have their soul bodies condensed, but the color is still gray.
For example, Tang Chuan's soul body is very condensed, like substance, and the gray color is also very heavy, and there is no blackening on the whole.
At the beginning, the soul of the undead of San Cherno was also very dignified, but it was already blackened, does this mean that the soul body of the undead was also in a sick state?
At this moment, in Tang Chuan's perception, the patient's soul body was black, and this blackness even exceeded that of the San Chenno undead, indicating that the patient's soul body was sickly beyond the San Chenno undead.
Of course, the patient's soul body is not as thick and condensed as the San Cherno's soul, and it is still a little weak.
This black soul body was originally standing on the spirit platform like a zombie, but when Tang Chuan's soul power needle approached, he suddenly stood up straight, and his eyes looked at the direction where the soul power needle appeared.
Suddenly, he jumped up from the spirit platform, his soul body appeared extremely flexible, and he rushed towards the position of the soul power needle.
Tang Chuan instantly strengthened the soul power needle, and at the same time, the soul power needle swam in the spirit platform space, and after the soul power in the soul power needle increased, it suddenly appeared in the space.
The Soul Power Needle had become very large, like a pointed missile, but when it appeared, the patient's soul body became even more crazy, and he kept jumping up from the spirit platform in an attempt to catch the Spirit Power Needle.
At this time, Tang Chuan also noticed a phenomenon, when the soul power needle appeared, the space of the spiritual platform began to brighten up again.
It's just that this bright process makes the soul power needle a little smaller, and Tang Chuan immediately understood that the Lingtai space was absorbing its own soul power on the soul power needle and lighting up the Lingtai space.
Tang Chuan suddenly thought of the fact that he had used the spirit breaking technique to destroy the soul body of the baby girl in Fang Xiaohu's Lingtai space, and he couldn't help but want to try it.
At this time, Tang Chuan knew that if his thoughts were wrong, the patient's soul body would also explode, and the soul would be scattered, and the person would really die.
But in this situation, the patient is already a living dead, even if it is a dead horse, it should be a live horse doctor.
Tang Chuan thought that the soul power needle instantly strengthened again, and suddenly stabbed the eyebrows of the patient's black soul body like lightning.
In the space of the spiritual platform, a "break" came out, and the patient's black soul body burst open instantly.
Unlike the baby girl's soul body, after the patient's black soul body exploded, a black bead fell on the altar.
The bead was about the size of an egg, and Tang Chuan sensed that the black substance inside the bead was slowly rotating and flowing, but even if Tang Chuan's soul power penetrated into it, the black substance did not react.
Tang Chuan thought of a possibility, and the soul power needle instantly turned into a giant net to wrap the black beads, and withdrew like lightning into his spiritual platform space.
At this moment, Dr. Zheng exclaimed.
"Look, why did Patient No. 1 suddenly fall to the ground?"
Tang Chuan didn't know why Dr. Zheng didn't see that the black beads the size of an egg flew out of the patient's eyebrows like lightning, and then immediately flew into his own eyebrows, and he himself clearly saw this process.
He didn't go to see how the patient was doing, because he was already stunned by the situation in his spiritual space.
