A few hours earlier, as armoured vehicles drove slowly through the streets of Camden, Minas was buying Chinese takeaway from a restaurant a few blocks away, and the yellow mist was preceded by a rapid evacuation of the military and police, and most of the people inside the house flocked to the streets to find out what was going on.
The people who appeared on the streets immediately saw the yellow mist all over the street, and the yellow mist that was inhaled, the face was covered with abscesses, and then translucent to full translucent, and finally the silent explosion produced a silvery white light that burned the surrounding area completely.
Minas was completely stupid, although he didn't know what was going on in the road, but the desire to survive still made him run with the crowd, but after running for a while, he realized that the more people there were, the easier it was to die - as long as a person inhaled the yellow mist and caused an explosion, it would burn all the people around him to ashes.
Manas began to move away from the crowd, his stomach running in the direction of the cemetery, he knew very well that there was no one to go to that place, except for some ignorant young people who were usually rolling and playing on the cemetery grass, in the sin capital of Camden, few people would miss the dead old people.
However, when he ran into the cemetery, Manas soon found himself wrapped in yellow mist, and he cried out in despair, holding his head and curling up on the ground......
After a long time, Manas found himself alive, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself still in the yellow mist. He slowly got up, ran out of where the yellow mist was, breathed heavily, took off his clothes and looked at his body, and found that nothing had changed.
Knowing that he was saved, but still worried that the poisonous gas was still circulating in his body and had not eroded the organs that might have changed him, he ran back to the house and began to take a bath, even using water to wash his body desperately. I almost didn't drink it.
Speaking of which. Manas sat down: "That's how I found out that I was immune to that gas, but I didn't dare to leave, and I tried several more times to make sure I was really okay. And I also had a blood test for myself. No anomalies have been observed. ”
Tang Shuxing and the three of them glanced at each other. They were all sure that Manas should be telling the truth, because it didn't make any sense for him to lie about it, but Tang Shuxing asked after Manas finished speaking, "Will you take a blood test?" ”
"I worked as a nurse in a hospital. I know how to draw blood and so on, but the blood test was taught to me by my boss, because he used to be a forensic doctor, and there are still some basic equipment left here, and sometimes we need to quarantine the unclaimed corpses that are sent to avoid infectious diseases and the like. Manas shook his head and said, looking at the expressions of Tang Shuxing and the others, he immediately got up and said, "Trust me, I'll take you to see it." ”
With that, Manas immediately got up and took Tang Shuxing and the others to a room opposite, where there was a morgue bed, and there were a lot of medical instruments, microscopes and freezing equipment, as well as blood testing equipment, blood centrifuges and other things.
Minas stood there smirking and looked at the three people who were looking around the room, and couldn't find the words to say, so he had to say thoughtlessly, "Do you need a blood test?" I can help. ”
"No, I'm afraid I'll scare you." Gu Huaiyi smiled, and then stepped forward and said, "I have also studied medicine, can you show me your blood test report earlier?" ”
"Oh, good, no problem, you wait." In the process of rummaging, Minas accidentally knocked over an iron box, and after the iron box fell to the ground, a pack of syringes rolled out of it, as well as a small package of white powder, as well as a spoon and rubber tubes.
After those things fell to the ground, Tang Shuxing and the other three immediately realized that the box contained drugs and tools used in drug use, and they all set their eyes on Manas.
Marveling embarrassed, Minus coughed, and began to put things away and stuff them back into the box, without looking up and saying, "It's nothing, is it?" Here, many people will choose this kind of escapist thing, and I am in the cemetery, if there is no wine and this kind of thing to support, I would have been swallowed by loneliness a long time ago, you say? ”
After Manas cleaned up, he got together and found that no one else paid attention to him anymore, and Gu Huaiyi also found the note with the test result from under a cup next to him, and he also picked up the note and waved it at Manas.
"Hepatitis C exceeded, EM exceeded." Gu Huaiyi looked at the test report, "Again, excessive hepatitis C is generally due to blood transmission or ...... Drug use, EM indicators can detect the amount of metabolites in the blood, you are not an ordinary addict. ”
Manas's face sank: "So what? Are you police officers? In Camden, this kind of thing is about to become legal...... Drugs too. ”
Tang Shuxing looked at other things on the side, listened to the conversation between Gu Huaiyi and Minas, was suddenly stunned, slowly turned his head to look at Manas, and asked, "Manas, you said that there are many drug addicts in Camden City, right?" ”
Minas nodded: "Actually, this is normal, there is no need to make a fuss!" ”
"No, no, no, I'm asking you, after the incident broke out, did you see anyone on the street who was swallowed by the yellow fog, but did not explode?" Tang Shuxing immediately stepped forward, "Think about it carefully, especially people you may know and who are also taking drugs. ”
"Does marijuana count?" Minas asked rhetorically.
"No, it has to be one of those intravenous drugs, heroine or cocaine or something." Tang Shuxing looked at Gu Huaiyi, and he deduced in his heart an answer that could not be confirmed yet.
Gu Huaiyi looked at the inspection report and thought of it.
Minas remembered there, and after a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I remember, Quison was surrounded by yellow fog, but he was fine, I saw with my own eyes, he died because he crashed into a speeding car while escaping, he was the same as me." It's all ...... All are addicts. ”
Tang Shuxing took the iron box in Manas's hand and shook it towards Ji Kefeng, Ji Kefeng understood what he meant, and walked over and said, "You mean, drug addicts won't be turned into that kind of human bomb by the yellow mist?" ”
"Otherwise, how can you explain what happened to him?" Tang Shuxing held up the iron box containing drugs and said.
Minas was stunned for a moment, Gu Huaiyi touched his chin and thought, everyone in the room fell silent, if this is the truth, then the chain reaction that will follow will be quite terrifying!
At the same time, outside the city of Camden. Lower Delaware River. Interim Command of the US Army's Chemical Defense Forces.
A soldier wearing a chemical protective suit took a test report in his hand and basically walked into the aseptic command vehicle in the distance, and then went into the disinfection room to carry out strict disinfection and inspection, and then opened and approached the sterile outdoor compartment to take off his clothes and carefully take out the report in the sealed bag. Then he walked in.
"Sir. The fireman's full autopsy report is out! The soldier saluted the senior officers sitting in the sterile command room with the report in hand. There were not only army generals, high-level researchers of the anti-chemical warfare forces, but also the vice president of the United States, who had just arrived less than ten minutes ago.
None of the people at the table reached for it. The vice president just frowned and said, "Tell me about the situation, what is different about his body?" Don't let your commander die in vain. ”
The soldier hesitated for a moment, opened the report, glanced at it and shook his head: "The autopsy found that there was nothing abnormal, except that he had a slight liver disease and pneumonia, nothing else was special, by the way, this firefighter had taken drugs two hours before the mission, and the cocaine metabolite component was detected in the blood was seriously exceeded, he was working in a very excited state, and we called up his file, and there was no history of drug abuse found in the file, and it was speculated that ......"
"Wait, report it to me!" One of the researchers stepped forward, almost grabbed the report, looked at it carefully, and then said to the vice president, "Sir, this is about the same information we got a few hours ago." ”
"What do you mean?" The vice president held his chin and said, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
The researcher looked at the others, including the general, who put down the pen in his hand, looked directly into the vice president's eyes and said: "Mr. Vice President, after the outbreak of this incident, we sent troops to search and rescue civilians, and we also found that some people did not explode after inhaling the yellow mist, we isolated this group of people separately and tested them, and found that they all had one thing in common, that is, these people are all addicts, and they are all people who inject drugs through intravenous veins, and the drug metabolites in the blood are all exceeded. All had injected drugs within five hours before the incident. ”
The command car fell silent, and the vice president stared at the general with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and it took a long time to stand up, take the report in the researcher's hand, sit back again, wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, and open his mouth for a long time before saying: "You mean, if you take drugs, you can avoid being killed by this yellow mist turning into a suicide bomb?" ”
Everyone didn't speak, and the researcher before he hesitated for about ten seconds before nodding, "The same can be said, although we haven't fully analyzed what the specific ingredients in the yellow mist are." ”
The vice president threw the report in the middle of the table and pointed, "Are you saying that the drugs that our government spends billions of dollars a year trying to reduce or disappear are now the only immunization drugs we can rely on?" Those drug dealers we tried so hard to kill turned into saviors!? ”
The general took the report, handed it to the soldier, and said, "Sir, this is only a preliminary result, and it does not mean that we should indulge in drugs or make the rest of us addicts. ”
"What if it's true?" The Vice President looked at the crowd at the table, "What if this is the only way to avoid the death caused by the yellow fog?" Are we going to tell this to people all over the United States and get them to pick up needles and inject drugs into their veins? At the same time, the federal government has to spend a lot of money to buy drugs from drug dealers! And then elect the next president of the United States of America from among the drug traffickers? ”
At this moment, the big screen behind the vice president appeared in the White House in the real time of the video of the US president, the president's face was very ugly, after the connection successfully saw the people in the command car, did not immediately ask about the yellow fog incident, but opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, the matter is troublesome, RUTV (Russian state television) has just broadcast the Russian president's press statement that he is responsible for the attack on Philadelphia and declares war on our country." ”
"What?" The vice president stood up at once, and the entire command car was stupid. (To be continued......)
