Tian Songzi said in a deep voice: "This disease has never been heard of in any country in the world before, and it has never been found in Huaguo, and it suddenly broke out in a large area at this time, which has to make me wonder if it is the demon clan who is playing ghosts." zzxsp”

Chen Pi was silent for a long time, he had to admit that what Tian Songzi said was not unreasonable, it was impossible for a virus with such a high lethality rate to suddenly appear for no reason, if it was a germ from the demon world, it would be normal for cultivators to not be able to escape.

"Now it's not just ordinary people who know that they are in a state of panic, but even us cultivators are also nervous, after all, we have never heard of cultivators getting sick and dying, and everyone's mood is rather heavy." Tian Songzi continued, "There are not a few cases of cases in the Xiongcheng area now, it is a very safe place, seniors and junior disciples in sister cities should pay more attention, seniors, please wait for a while, there is a call to find me." ”

A few minutes later.

When Matsuko reappeared on the screen that day, Chen Pi found that his face had turned pale, and it was obvious that Fang Cai's phone call was probably not good news.

"Senior, I have also seen traces of strange rats here, and now it has caused the death of nearly a thousand people in some small cities in the northwest, and it seems that the tentacles of the demon clan have officially begun to expand." Tian Songzi's words were tinged with melancholy.

Chen Pi comforted: "Tian Songzi, the matter may not be as serious as you think, after all, what appears in the north may only be part of their strength, I believe that this matter will be dealt with, the most important thing for you now is to find out the exact way of infection and treatment of this disease, so as to determine our next move." ”

Chen Pi knew very well in his heart that the appearance of the xenomorph rat in the northwest did not mean that the demon clan would attack on a large scale, but he could only think about this in his heart, and he couldn't say it to others anyway.

"What my predecessors said is that I think too much." Tian Songzi thought about it, and what Chen Pi said was not unreasonable.

"You'll send me a copy of all the information about this disease, and I'd like to know the details." Chen Pi hurriedly said to Tian Songzi, if you want to talk about the understanding of the demon world, I'm afraid everyone is inferior to him, with the detailed information of this disease, maybe he can find it out from the memories left by Jizang.

"Okay, senior!" Tian Songzi replied without hesitation.

An engineer at a shipyard fell ill and vomited and diarrhea, and the excrement was like an espresso-colored liquid. His hands and feet soon became cold, his body was constantly sweating, he had a high fever, his face was pale, his eyes were sunken, his lips were blue, his thirst was unbearable, his snort was cold, his speech was weak, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and his pulse was so weak that he could barely feel it.

After a long period of resuscitation in the hospital, his condition was stabilized, but the next day, the patient began to hallucinate and babble incessantly, and at the same time, small spots began to appear on the patient's face.

As time goes on, the spots on the patient's face get bigger and bigger, and they begin to spread downward, but the most dense areas are the hands and feet, and hundreds of colored spots appear on the patient's skin, which is shocking and creepy to look at.

Inside the body, the heart begins to bleed, seeping into the surrounding cavities. The liver swells, splits, and then suppurates and decays, and the kidneys fail, filling with dead cells and blood clots. Dead, clotted blood cells abound, including the brain, blocking the supply of oxygen, eventually leading to dementia and severe seizures.

At the same time, the virus destroys the clotting ability of the remaining blood, so that the bleeding continues uninhibited, and the live dead blood is excreted with the dead tissue and the shedding mucous membranes, including the mucous membranes of the stomach, mouth, and intestines, through vomiting and diarrhea. The collapsed blood vessels and intestines are no longer fixed together, but pour into the body cavity like fluid, and although they float in the body fluids, the tissues themselves are dehydrated and unable to perform their functions, so the patient begins to die.

Everyone looked at the information from the pine nuts in front of them, especially the final dissection footage, and the disgusting mirror image deeply shocked everyone present.

When all the information was played, no one said a word for a long time, and for a while, the room was silent. Everyone was shocked by this terrible disease.

"If you just look at the symptoms in the body, it's too much like Ebola." Li Zhiqing exclaimed in horror.

"Ebola, what's that?" Zhao Youcheng scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Ebola, a virulent virus that causes haemorrhagic fever in humans and primates, has a high mortality rate. The Ebola virus takes its name from the "Ebola River" in central Africa, because it was in this region that its first known large-scale outbreak occurred.

The Ebola virus eats away at any other tissue or organ in the body except for the bones and muscles of the bones, and like a sweep, when the virus replicates itself into the host's blood cells, the blood cells begin to die and clot together.

When the clot clogs the blood vessels, cutting off the blood supply to the whole body, the infected organs begin to appear dead, and the viral proteins attack collagen, which is the main protein in the connecting tissues of the fixed organs, when the collagen becomes a slurry, holes begin to appear on the surface of the organs, including the skin, and blood pours out of the holes. The liquefied dead skin that appears under the skin forms blisters on the surface, at which stage all the pores will seep blood, and the superficial diaphragm of the skin and muscles will begin to burst.

This bizarre and gruesome process continues until the virus multiplies exponentially, destroying the internal organs and rendering them completely useless to the death of the host, when this happens, dead or partially dead organs begin to liquefy, and fluids like blood, feces, and vomit are filled with millions of viruses bit by bit.

It seems that Li Zhiqing knows quite well about the Ebola virus situation.

Tell the story endlessly.

"Stop, stop, stop talking." Zhao Youcheng waved his hand to interrupt Li Zhiqing's words, and said in a loud voice, "I already feel a little chilly all over my body when I hear it, probably I have understood the situation, you don't need to go into such detail." Looking at Lin Xingchen's face no better than Zhao Youcheng, he was praying in a low voice, thinking that there was such a terrible epidemic around him, and no one would be in a good mood.

Li Zhiqing immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry. ”

"It shouldn't be Ebola, the symptoms on the body surface are not consistent with Ebola, especially the weird colored spots on the patient's body, not all of them at all, and Ebola is transmitted through the patient's blood, urine and sweat, the general incubation period is three weeks, and the mortality rate of infected people can be as high as 80. And now this kind of transmission may have an incubation period of only three days, the mortality rate is 100 percent, and most importantly, I don't think Ebola can kill a practitioner in three days. Chen Pi pointed out the difference between the two.

"Do you think it's a variant of Ebola?" Li Zhiqing said.

Chen Pi frowned and thought for a long time, he was already sure that this disease should not be owned by the demon world, and he did not find any clues in the long memories of Jizo and the Nine-Tails.

"Sister City, check carefully, who was the first patient to be recorded, and where did he go?" Chen Pi pressed his temples with both hands hard, this virus must be investigated, since it can also work on cultivators, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be ineffective against the demon clan, if it is really as he thought, it will be a terrible disaster.

Zhao Youcheng flipped through the fax paper for a long time, took out one of them, and handed it to Chen Pidao: "The real first patient, I think it is impossible to find, this is the first patient in the hospital records, and all the processes of the entire incident are recorded on it." ”

After the Liangtai incident, a large number of residents fled to the north for refuge, in order to accommodate them, as many simple houses were built in various places as possible, and they were concentrated to live in Mocheng, and they established more than ten camps on the outskirts of the city that could accommodate nearly 1,000 people, and the tragedy began in one of the camps.

Due to the lack of entertainment venues, and the fear of an unknown tomorrow for most of the population, the camp's various dance halls that night were filled with hysterical laughter, whose voices were even drowned out by the loud music.

Suddenly.

In one dance hall, one of the most laughing clown dancers suddenly collapsed with weak legs, and when onlookers took off his mask, people were surprised to find that his face was already blue and the deafening laughter disappeared without a trace, and they quickly took the dancer from the dance hall to the hospital, where he died in agony two days later.

In the days that followed, all the people who had been in that dance hall that day fell ill and collapsed, and the whole camp became a living hell in a very short time, and then, because no one dared to go there to transport the patients out, there were cracked and decomposed corpses in the rooms everywhere because there was no one to bury them, and there were "examples" of people who had fallen to the streets everywhere, to the horror and shock of all spectators.

Their bellies were swollen, their open mouths were spurting blood like a torrent, their eyes were red, and their hands were raised upwards, rotting in the corners, in the streets, in the porches of the courtyards.

"What's going on in Mexico right now?" Chen Pi asked, it seems that there is a recorded first occurrence point, if you want to find some clues, it should be the most valuable place.

Li Zhiqing immediately found out the corresponding information from the pile of paper and said: "Now Mocheng has been completely under martial law, strictly prohibiting nearly one million residents in the city from leaving Mocheng, the number of deaths and diseases in Mocheng accounted for 45 percent, and 30,000 people have been quarantined, which is by far the most rampant place for diseases." ”

"Nearly a million people are locked in the city, doesn't that force them to their deaths?" Zhao Youcheng shouted.

"There is no way to do it, the incubation period of this disease is not yet certain, it is not yet three days, if these millions of people are transferred to all parts of the country, it will make this terrible disease spread rapidly, and at that time, it will be uncontrollable." Li Zhiqing said helplessly, how could she not understand that this method was to push the residents of the city into the fire pit, but what was a good way to get the best of both worlds.

"Where are the main places where this disease appears now, except for Mocheng?" Chen Pi then asked.

"There are four more places." Li Zhiqing replied with four place names.

"All coastal cities?" Chen Pi looked at the map and said, "Have the first few patients in these places been identified, and have they all fled from the veranda?" ”

Chen Pi's question was obviously something Li Zhiqing had never thought about, and she checked the information again, and then replied: "I checked the identity of the first ten patients in these places, and 89 percent of them are refugees from Liangtai, can you say." ”

Chen Pi waved his hand and interrupted her: "Don't jump to conclusions so early, we have only seen a little clue." ”

Mocheng is a famous water city, the city water is spacious, the scenery is beautiful, many artificial rivers were dug in ancient times, the water of the Daohu Lake was drawn, the criss-crossing waterways provided convenience for the transportation of Mocheng, the sea water and fresh water in the lake are blended, and the flavor of the fish produced is also different from that of other places. White fish in early spring, eel in summer, shrimp in autumn, and sea bass in winter are known as the four treasures of Mocheng.

There are more than 100 designated protected scenic spots, and hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every year to enjoy the scenery, but the beautiful city of the past has now become a hell on earth.

Standing on the hillside outside the city, Chen Pi and his party looked out into the lifeless city, and there was not a single pedestrian or vehicle in sight on the wide street, except for the occasional large truck with two cars speeding by.

It was a corpse truck.

The dead in the city were transported to the crematorium for incineration.

"Senior, if you had come two days earlier, you would have seen the miserable scene here." Ye Fanghua said gloomily, "The death toll in Mocheng has now exceeded 18,000, and there are 70,000 registered patients, at this rate, it won't take more than a month for Mocheng to completely become a dead city." ”

Knowing that Chen Pi insisted on coming to Mocheng, Ye Fanghua took the initiative to accompany her, and Tian Songzi, who was also going over, was left in Xiongcheng by Chen Pi, always keeping an eye on the research results of the hospital.

"Another 70,000 people are sick." Lin Xingchen couldn't help but gasp, didn't this mean that in three days at most, the death toll in Mocheng would approach the 100,000 mark.

"It's just horrible." A modern city with a population of nearly one million can become a dead city in less than a month.

"Fortunately, it doesn't spread very well through the air, otherwise it would have been dangerous for us to stand here." Chen Pi sighed.

Yesterday, he received a report from Tian Songzi that the disease is not very air-transmitted, and generally does not spread as long as it is 30 meters away from the patient, and its main mode of transmission is blood and body fluids.

"Night team, what's going on with the sewage treatment plant in Mexicity?" Chen Pi turned his head and asked.

"The operation is normal, as soon as we learned that there was a disease transmission in Mexico, the sewage treatment plant was taken over by us, and now the two sewage treatment plants in Mexico are running at full power, thoroughly treating all the sewage in the city, and all the outlets in Mexico are monitored 24 hours a day to ensure that the source of pollution does not enter the water body." Ye Fanghua replied, "Seniors can rest assured that there is also a backup sewage treatment plant in Mocheng, which can be started at any time. ”

Chen Pi nodded, his thoughts couldn't help but return to Nanchuan, after so many years of modernization, but the water pollution situation is still very serious, thousands of sewage treatment plants are either under-operated, or like decorations, the result is that every year, hundreds of millions of tons of industrial sewage and domestic sewage are directly discharged into rivers and lakes without any treatment, if this disease is allowed to invade a large area, it means the beginning of a catastrophe.

Even if a city is completely under martial law, pathogens can still enter the water circulation with the help of imperfect water treatment, and if the disease occurs in the upper reaches of the river, it can turn the entire river basin into a dangerous zone in ten days, or even a few days.

Chen Pi almost couldn't imagine what it would be like if this scene happened in the southeast coastal area.

"Sister city, immediately notify your senior brother, immediately inspect all the sewage treatment plants that have been completed and put into operation, all those that have not been put into use or are not enough to start require them to run at full power immediately, and the domestic sewage of each city must be collected and treated by the sewage treatment plant before it can be discharged into rivers and lakes, tell those in the country who only take money and do nothing, if they still want to live to see the sun next year, they will immediately do what I say." Chen Pi said categorically.

It's just a short week.

One hundred and sixty-six thousand eight hundred and ninety-four people have died from the disease.

Of course, this number can be said to be growing all the time, there are already eleven cities in the country that have been under martial law to varying degrees, all kinds of disinfectants, gas masks have long been out of stock, and now there is no market, after all, everyone understands that it is still their own small life that matters, no matter how much money you have, it is nonsense to enjoy your life.

tangerine peel the day after their discussion.

Li Zhiqing immediately sent the discussion record back to the headquarters of the Awakened.

After being reminded, I immediately checked all the cases again, and sure enough, as Chen Pi said, 90 percent of the first few patients in the cities where the patients first appeared were refugees from Liangtai, and if we were to narrow down this number to the first three cases in each city, it would be 100 percent.

Chen Pi said lightly: "I'm afraid not, since this disease is a threat to human cultivators, I'm afraid it is not completely useless to them, in the current situation where they still occupy the initiative and occupy the advantage, there is no need to use this method." And the danger of this disease to other creatures has not yet been revealed, but I personally think that it will not be ineffective, and the demon clan should not expand the impact to all living beings. ”

The reason why he said so definitely was because Chen Pi had already contacted Ye Huniang and confirmed that the demon clan did not take such actions.
