"What does that mean?"

Tombs, minarets...... Completely incomprehensible, only the five words of wingless worm attracted Xia Ren's attention.

He keenly sensed that what the little girl said was probably related to the white worm parasitic in Zhao Rou's dream, and wanted to continue listening, but the little girl had stopped talking and returned to her puppet-like sluggish appearance.

Just like other patients, he could also feel a very slight smell of pollution on the little girl, plus the other party's symptoms, it should also be atypical phobia, but Xia Ren always felt that the girl seemed to be different, although she sat quietly cross-legged, but gave herself a vague sense of danger.

Niu Changshou thought about it for a long time, and there was no way to find out the situation that matched the symptoms of the little girl from his head, and there was no damage to his body, why did he lose consciousness?

"What about her previous medical records? Is there anything suspicious? ”

The vice president shook his head and said, "According to the description of the family, patient No. 3 has always been healthy and rarely gets sick...... By the way, in June this year, she had a period of frequent nosebleeds, and was diagnosed with anemia in the community hospital, and returned to normal after a period of recuperation. ”

"Anemia?"

Niu Changshou touched his chin, but then he thought that June was more than five months away, and there should be no connection with atypical insect phobia.

"Can you see anything?"

The vice dean asked tentatively.

All the other patients had traced their symptoms, but this little girl could not find any cause at all.

Niu Changshou did not answer this question, but asked: "How many new cases are there on average every day in Dongpu City?" ”

"With an average of twenty cases, the number of daily deaths is basically equal to that number, and that number is rising rapidly over time," said the deputy dean. ”

Xia Ren calculated in his heart, according to the expression of the vice president, that is to say, among the forty-five patients they have admitted so far, after today, nearly half of them will die, including the young man they saw first.

The lethal rate of atypical intophobia is so frightening.

"What about the bodies of the dead?" Niu Changshou asked again.

"In accordance with the Procedures for the Treatment of Unknown Diseases and the Guidebook for Preventing the Spread of Plague, all but a few typical cases were preserved for evaluation, and all the bodies were safely incinerated," said the Vice-President. ”

Niu Changshou stood in place and thought for a while, and said, "Take me to see those remains." ”

Before leaving the ward, Xia Ren looked back at the little girl on the hospital bed again.

She still sat quietly, young, immature, her skin shining, but the gray sky light outside the window shone into the ward, as if her whole body was coated with a haze, not at all like a six-year-old child, as if a long time since died...... Body.

The Affiliated Hospital of Dongpu University of Science and Technology, as a monitoring point arranged by the World Superman Association in Dongpu City, has undergone special renovations in some buildings to cope with various complex situations.

For example, in the interior of the inpatient building, a hidden basement was actually built, where the remains of patients with atypical insect phobia were kept.

"Because we only noticed the anomaly at the end of October, the collection time of the remains is within half a month from the end of October to the present."

The deputy dean explained, leading them through the safety doors until they finally reached the last metal door.

The gate is engraved with a pattern made up of two semicircles to form a circle, one of which can clearly be seen to be a human brain, and the bottom of the other semicircle is covered with a small shadow, Xia Ren has seen it since he was a child, and he is extremely familiar, this is the overall model of the blue star, and that small shadow is the eternal ice cloud over the Wuji Ice Field.

Between the two semicircles, there is a line of text:

"Humanity lives forever!"

Xia Ren guessed that this should be the icon of the World Superman Association.

As the last gate opened, a cold air poured into the hallway.

This is like a small cold storage, Xia Ren saw that next to the door, the temperature displayed was minus 15 °C, the room was spacious, pieces of metal cabinets were placed against the wall, the blazing white light on the ceiling was a little dazzling, and under the light, there were several dissecting tables.

"Do you want to wear winter clothing?"

The vice dean took out a piece of clothing from the box next to him and asked.

"No, you don't."

Niu Changshou refused.

He is a robot specially made by the World Superman Association, and can move freely even in environments of minus 70 degrees, which is nothing to him.

"We don't have to."

Xia Ren is naturally not afraid of the cold, especially Lili, the temperature in the Crazy Mountain Range is often minus forty or fifty degrees, which has no effect on her at all.

The vice dean didn't insist any longer, took out three winter suits, put on one for himself, and divided the other two sets between the two professors.

The two professors were originally in charge of explaining, and it was the first time that the vice dean had discovered an infectious disease suspected to be caused by pollutants in the area under his jurisdiction, so he had little experience in how to communicate with the plague scholars sent above.

"This is the first body to be included."

The Vice Dean walked over to the large iron cabinet against the wall and pulled out a cabinet numbered 10-07, which contained the remains of an adult woman.

The body was completely naked, with a layer of frozen hoarfrost hanging from the skin, and Y-shaped anatomical sutures on the outside of the arms, midline of the throat, face and head, and chest and abdomen could be seen.

Because it was a typical body, they only performed a simple autopsy, mainly to find out the cause and observe whether there were traces of parasite activity or other damage in the body, so they specially maintained the integrity of the body.

"In order to facilitate the study, we have removed the internal organs of this body and placed them in a more internal room, and if necessary, we have also included two undissected remains."

"I'll just see for myself."

Niu Changshou put on gloves and seemingly simply checked the appearance of the body.

Then, he opened the cabinet one by one, looked at all the bodies in the collection, and then took off his gloves and placed them on the dissecting table beside him.

"Go up and talk about it."

Niu Changshou's face was a little solemn.

He is a very energetic person, and when Xia Ren first saw him, he was laughing, as if he was full of enthusiasm for life all the time, but since entering this hospital, he has not laughed once.

They walked out of the inpatient building and into the gloomy sky outside, and the vice president asked, "What is the result of the assessment, and do you need to continue to observe?" ”

"No need."

Niu Changshou raised his hand, knocked on his skull, closed his eyes and thought calmly.

"It was determined that the condition was caused by a contaminant and was transmissible, and the name: atypical intophobia.

A three-level plan was launched to restrict the movement of people in Dongpu City, and the medical system began to monitor and include all new suspicious patients on the inspection list......

Coverage: All Blue Star. ”
