Chapter 81: The Eye of Hope

What is it?

Li Tongchen frowned.

Although he is in his fifties, he is not out of touch with social pop culture, he sometimes plays mobile games, and he has been harassed by spam messages.

These game manufacturers are really getting more and more disagreeable, and they even forcibly implant programs directly into people's mobile phones?

In the past few days, he has been in a very bad mood, and he didn't even look at it at the moment, and threw the phone back in his pocket.

Whatever the problem is, let's talk about it when we get home in the evening.

Now all he had to do was look at a document he had just received from the Polar Research Center.

It was an email, to be exact.

Li Tongchen came to the office, turned on his work computer, and cautiously received a document from the internal system.

It was only a little more than two days from the appearance of the epidemic to the diagnosis, and the scientific expedition project of the Ice Dragon scientific expedition team has always been at the top secret level, so a lot of information was not directly told to him at the beginning.

It wasn't until the Eagle Country came with information about some serious illnesses that the top management of the Oceanic Bureau decided to open this part of the information to him after weighing it.

And it came to him after layers of approval.

As the medical person in charge of this epidemic prevention work, Li Tongchen understands this very well.

After all, even now, the symptoms of the expedition team members are not very serious, but some skin hardening and hardening.

Li Tongchen is also quite concerned about the Arctic scientific expedition activities of the ice dragon scientific expedition team and related major discoveries.

The discoveries made in this scientific expedition are enough to be listed as the first of the ten major scientific discoveries of this century.

Originally, I thought that there would be further large-scale operations, but I didn't expect the Ice Dragon scientific expedition team to suddenly stop the scientific expedition activities and permanently block the site of the ruins.

It is said that this letter is the main reason why the Ice Dragon Expedition team permanently sealed off the ruins and stopped further exploration.

Even when the members of the scientific expedition team showed individual symptoms, they immediately sealed off the entire building of the polar center and carried out a high-level quarantine because of this letter.

Li Tongchen opened the email, and a large paragraph of text immediately appeared in front of him.

There's no format, there's nothing called, it's just a line of words:

Report on the effects of the gargoylosis virus on human tissues

This is an experiment report.

Gargoyle?

The name seems to be a little less apt than self-limiting acute hemorrhage.

After all, the current patient's performance is only skin hardening, accompanied by arthritis, and the difference between it and a stone statue is 108,000 miles.

Li Tongchen frowned slightly and continued to read.

“…… Analysis of the gargoyle virus from the remains of the Arctic ice sheet shows that when the temperature warms, some of the remaining gargoyles will regain activity and spread through the air in an aerosol state......

…… The virus is highly contagious, and once an infected person becomes infected, it will continue to secrete viral aerosols at the same time as the lesion......

The following is a record of the patient's status before his death, which has been transformed into a stone statue:

Day 1: Mild cough with no specific symptoms other than slight itching of the skin......

……

Day 9: The joints have become stiff, accompanied by discontinuous abnormal noises, and the skin elasticity has decreased rapidly, and it takes about three hours to recover with compressions......

……

Day 19: Cracked skin and joint ...... due to forced activity

……

Day 23: Mobility is greatly limited, and the skin on the surface of the body has become petrified......

……

Day 30: Rapid deterioration! Within 10 minutes, the patient was petrified with the remainder of his body and lost his vital signs......"

The more Li Tongchen looked at it, the more he felt that his heart was cold, and his face became pale.

In addition to the previous case record, there are many detailed descriptions of the stone statue virus in which the infected skin cells appear intertwined fibrous and filled with a large amount of crystalline material, which is exactly what he just saw under the microscope!

Previously, he had been asking for information on the severe patients of "quasi-self-limiting acute hemorrhage" from the Eagle Country, but he had been prevaricating and procrastinating and did not provide any information at all.

Now it seems that the situation of the seriously ill patients should be what is described in this document.

If that's the case, this virus is really terrible!

It's no wonder that the Polar Center directly applied for the highest level of epidemic prevention and quarantine measures, obviously they don't have a plan in their hearts.

After experiencing the tempering of various large-scale epidemics, everyone in this nation has a natural vigilance, and often believes in what is there and what is not.

Li Tongchen pondered for a moment, picked up the private network phone on the table, and dialed the number at the top of the medical system.

After a quick report on the situation, he directly asked for more manpower and stricter quarantine measures.

Later, he called the top management of the Polar Center and asked the other party about the source of the document.

It's just that the other party just smiled bitterly and told him that this email suddenly appeared in the intranet system of the Polar Center, and no one knew where it came from.

There was nothing but those case reports and trial reports inside, like a prank that popped up.

At first, the email was almost regarded as a prank, but the gargoyle virus described in it was too terrifying, and it was very consistent with the characteristics of the virus they extracted from the stone statue.

I didn't expect it to be a little late, and many people have already been infected.

"Lao Li, everything depends on you...... The Ice Dragon scientific expedition team is the top scientific expedition team in China, and every member of the team has worked hard to cultivate, and losing one of them is a great loss. The voice on the other end of the phone said with a wry smile, as if he had twisted his neck and made a series of "click" sounds.

Li Tongchen agreed, but after hanging up the phone, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

It was as if a mountain was pressing down on my heart.

He also learned about the characteristics of the virus through tests and reports in documents, and if the data was true, even the highest level of quarantine would be of little effect.

Viruses are able to penetrate protective clothing directly! Even protective clothing with excellent aerosol virus blocking properties does not help.

Protective clothing that can effectively protect against the Ebola virus is like a naked body in front of the stone statuette.

At the same time, the vitality of the stone statue virus is extremely tenacious, which can be seen from the fact that there are live viruses on the polar stone statues hundreds of thousands of years ago.

And it only takes a very small amount of virus to make a person sick.

If the document was correct, it was probably the most terrifying virus he had ever seen.

The lethality rate is basically 100 percent, and the incubation period is long, the infectivity is extremely strong, there are no characteristics in the early stage, and there is no particularly serious damage to the human body even until the middle stage.

Until the last big outbreak!

Even the Black Death in human history is like a common cold virus in front of it.

Time, time is simply too late to develop a vaccine, unless the vaccine components can be obtained quickly.

Oh my God......

Li Tongchen's body trembled a little, many people had not yet realized the horror of the stone statue disease, but he had completely understood.

The deeper the medical expertise and the more experience you have, the more you can understand what kind of monster the gargoyle virus is.

There aren't even many people to turn to.

He is already the most authoritative doctor in the industry......

He couldn't help but think of when he was a young chief physician and fought against SARS on the front line of epidemic prevention.

At that time, although many therapies had strong side effects, they could at least save the patient's life, and it was not a complete despair.

And now...... He could only pray that the information in that document was all wrong, a prank by someone.

But his expertise as a doctor told him that it was not a prank, it was all true.

Tearing the neckline open, Li Tongchen took a few deep breaths, stabilized his mood a little, and looked at the document again.

He had to look at it several times to see if there was anything missing, and to see if there were any hints in it.

It's just that what disappointed him was that when he saw the end again, it was still the same as before.

There was also a deep despair in the tone of the person who wrote the experiment report, as if he understood that everything was incomprehensible.

By this time he had drawn the document to the very bottom, and there was still nothing new.

Suddenly, Li Tongchen's gaze swept over a small icon in the bottom corner of the document, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

It was a blood-red eye pattern, which seemed to be an identification mark left by the sender.

He immediately threw himself on the hanger like crazy, took his phone out of his pocket, and opened it.

The blood-red eye icon immediately appeared in front of his eyes, exactly the same as the one in the document.

The eyes seemed to have a narrow smile, waiting for his click.

Real apocalyptic game.

Welcome.
