Chapter 268: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell 1 (I)

"What? Witchcraft? Is it possible that we will have to fight zombies like in the movies? After listening to Tchaikov's statement, Pandey took a sip of wine and said with a forced composure.

"Perhaps, that's why we've been guarding this place for hundreds of years, when those poor people only see diamonds and wealth in their eyes, but ignore the risks they simply can't resist at all."

"I'm curious, since this is Loulan's witch Gu, why can't they control it?" Pandey was eager to figure this out.

"The royal family expelled the power of the wizard, according to the legendary manuscript records, after the royal family brought Loulan's witch Gu here, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a local thing that could amplify the power of the witch Gu dozens of times, and at that time the diamond made people crazy, in order to ensure the equal distribution of wealth, the royal family decided to use worms and witch Gu to protect the diamond mine and the royal tomb, and only the guardians knew their location...... But a hundred years later, the disaster still happened, and the newly prosperous Loulan royal family was wiped out again......"

"This is what Dick called the curse? A royal curse? But you are also a descendant of the Loulan royal family, why haven't you been cursed? Pandey asked.

Tchaikov smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe we have always obeyed the teachings of our ancestors, who knows?" I've thought countless times about going in and seeing what this witch Gu is and whether it's as terrifying as the legend says, but I can't control the risk, so I give up. ”

"I don't think Dick was here just because he needed medical help," Pandey reminded, "and there's a good chance he knew what was going on here." ”

"I don't trust him either, but to reduce casualties, Dick's presence can do just that." Tchaikov said. From the heart, although he has the ability to kill these aborigines, it is one of the family's creeds to do something and not to do something, and the Tchaikov family has never abandoned the purpose of helping each other, protecting each other, helping the weak, and obtaining wealth, which is also the legacy of the Loulan royal family. As a capable person, Tchaikov preferred to help the weak. The life and death of thousands of people in the time of old Tchaikov was nothing more than a number, and in modern civilization this is an out-and-out atrocity! In such a situation, no one has ever told him what to do, he has no visionary perspective, and it is impossible for him to talk about what should be done now, and his decision may be admired by all the people, but it is more likely that the thousand people are referring to it.

That's why he agreed to Dick going in, maybe Dick would be touched when he knew that so many terrible things had happened, and his intervention could solve the problem peacefully and perfectly. In a sense, Tchaikov was gambling, he was betting that the brilliance of Dick's humanity would shine, after all, the person who knew the gravity of the consequences was the only one in this world besides himself.

But Dick never thought of cooperating with Tchaikov, the pressure of the family curse, the huge wealth in the diamond mines, the treasures in the royal tomb that could make him famous for a long time, made him ignore everything, Dick believed that greed always paid a price, and he was the 1% who were the exception......

While Tchaikov was anxiously awaiting the results, Dick was coordinating with Detachment B. Having learned the lesson of the last time he put all his eggs in one basket and then being completely broken by Tchaikov, Dick arranged for a well-equipped special excavation team, which had now just arrived at the designated place and was ready to start work.

It's a small but incredibly strong drilling team, and there's nothing on this planet that they can't drill. After arriving at their destination, they quickly measured the geological structure, and were surprised to find that the mountain designated by Dick was tall on the outside, but in fact there were many hollow cavities inside, which were caused by ancient geology and volcanic activity, and the volcanic rock was not as strong as expected.

Permafrost is as hard as steel against digging tools such as pickaxes, but it is as fragile as glass in the face of advanced shield machines. The drilling team thought Dick's job was unbelievable, and they were a little embarrassed to take so much money from him. In less than an hour, the EPB machine made a large hole in the mountain with a diameter of 3 meters and a depth of 10 meters, which could be completed in 24 hours, if nothing else.

When the medical captain announced the epidemic prevention and isolation, Xia Ruobing was a little nervous. The medical captain announced that three quarantines had been carried out, the ward area was a heavily infected area, and everyone must wear protective clothing when entering and exiting, the hospital was the second isolation, and if it was not necessary, everyone could not enter or exit, and the entry and exit had to go through the immunization and decontamination procedures, and the third was the town, and no one could leave the town until any test results were obtained.

Although the medical captain carried out the isolation procedures and isolation zone according to the standards, in this town, such a separation division is almost impossible to implement - this so-called hospital is not much different from the houses in other towns, and the so-called ward on the first floor, as long as you push the window open, you can jump onto the streets of the town, the so-called leaving the hospital must be decontaminated, it is just a piece of paper, and the only semi-professional decontamination vehicle simply cannot provide so many decontamination medicines. The only consolation was that the town was relatively isolated, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest town, and it was a harsh winter, so the spread of infection would be slowed down by the cold, and as long as it was properly controlled, it was still very possible to control the infection in the town.

Before the results of the test were available, everyone had to wait for the time being, and after the medical team injected all the patients with antibiotics and antivirals, there was no more way, and in the test car, the examiner nervously checked the tube of blue blood for various indicators.

The medical captain was also nervously waiting for the results in the car, but as the hours passed, the medical expert was puzzled by many things, so he had to report to Dick: "Dick, I think you'd better come and take a look." If possible, you'd better explain it to me. ”

Dick reluctantly put on his own special protective suit, the carbon fiber nylon suit is different from ordinary rubber protective clothing, it can be completely protected while comfortably regulating body temperature, the integrated helmet and the ultra-small oxygen concentrator around the waist can allow him to get pure air from the air. When Dick appeared in the inspection vehicle wearing the suit, the medical captain thought that Dick had come prepared, in other words, Dick knew what was going on here better than he did.

"I can only be sure now that it's a symbiotic thing of bacteria and viruses, but without more sophisticated monitoring instruments, I don't know how they can fool the immune system in the body. To put it simply, they replaced the red blood cells in the blood and deceived the white blood cells responsible for sterilization...... "The medical captain gave a brief introduction to the situation, and for this situation, he can be 100% sure that with the current medical methods there is no medical treatment at all.

"Dick, it seems that there are other things, you should tell me, but I don't care if you agree or not, I will report it to the epidemic prevention department, this is likely to turn into a biochemical disaster." Seeing that Dick didn't answer, the medical captain looked directly at the blue blood sample on the examination table, and his tone intensified.

"How did these people get infected?" Dick asked, a little absent-minded.

"From what is happening, it is assumed that they inhaled the source of infection without protection, and the source of infection first developed in the lungs and then contaminated the blood, and I also need a lung biopsy to confirm ......," said the medical team leader.

"That's right. It seems that not all legends are fake......" Dick was still absent-minded, but unfortunately most of the manuscript was lost, and there was no more information.

"What are you talking about? Dick, we're talking about an infection that has never been there before, and it could be a biochemical disaster......" The medical captain was furious at Dick's indifference.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much......" Dick was still distracted, something else on his mind.

The medical captain was about to get angry when he suddenly heard a terrifying scream from inside the hospital, followed by more shouts, and he jumped out of the car, not knowing what was happening in the hospital.
