Chapter 444: Action to Determine the Demarcation Line [Thank you to Alliance Leader Wurun Jiamu for a reward of 100,000 coins and ask for a monthly pass]
The invasion of the locust team plunged Mobei City, which had not been completely evacuated, into chaos.
On the morning of March 19, a day after the locust team appeared, a total of 100 first patients arrived from the wasteland area on alien birds, all of whom either blew themselves up successfully or were shot down by air defense.
An area in the city has been designated as Quarantine Zone 1, and there are tens of thousands of suspected acute infections inside.
When the insect carriers blew themselves up, they were all within the radiation range - about 8,000 square meters created by Principal Cui as the standard.
There were celestial personnel, officers and soldiers, a large number of civilians, some of whom were dragging their families, some of them were elderly, and some were children.
Some of the relevant contacts outside the scope are also temporarily listed as suspected patients, and they are in the No. 2 quarantine area.
After this day, there was no suspicion in the No. 1 quarantine area, and all people were diagnosed with symptoms of exophasia; On the second side of the quarantine area, more than 3,000 people have also been diagnosed.
These more than 13,000 new patients have greatly tested the manpower of relevant allocation, whether it is isolation, guarding, treatment, or alleviating suffering...... We all need manpower, otherwise there will be an even more terrible situation. Under the dispatch of the state, a convoy of people with a large number of people who had written suicide notes came to Mobei from other places.
At the quarantine base, the condition of the second group of patients is deteriorating.
After the appearance of the locust team, the patient's mental problems have accelerated significantly, and most of the thousands of teachers and students of Mobei Senior High School have symptoms of insanity, but the medical team can still use sedation and artificial coma treatment methods.
However, the physiological symptoms of the patients were helpless, and the nutrient solution was imbued, but the body still had changes similar to dehydration and hunger, blood pressure was decreasing, and the blood flow to the brain of the patients was also declining, and it seemed that they were going to develop cerebral ischemia.
The normal human body is complex enough, and the comparison of DNA tests of these locust patients confirms Wang's hypothesis.
They were significantly different from their pre-infection DNA, which was extracted from things like hair collected at home, and the associated genetic mutations showed the same distribution and frequency. As long as there is a mutation at one site, it can also mutate the human body, and now the so-called locust is not known to be composed of many mutations at the site, what can be determined is that the genes of the patients are indeed mutated, and a large number of mutations have been made.
It's just that including Wang Ruoxiang herself, the medical staff hope that this hypothesis is wrong, because in the current situation, they have no choice.
Just as the human body needs vitamin C, this is a physiological need at the DNA level.
They knew what the patients needed physically, that anomalous dirt, but once given, it was only a sooner path to death.
If there is enough time and the scientific research strength of the world is gathered, there may be corresponding gene correction therapy.
But now there is not a few decades, not even a month, not even a week.
Si Kouxian, Wang Ruoxiang, Cai Zixuan and others were all at a loss.
The earliest clinical trials had long since ended, and some of the six patients involved in the experiments went to the front line in the wasteland area to work with the death squad to determine the demarcation line.
The patient can use his body to distinguish where the soil is normal and where the soil is abnormal. In the action plan, the patient does not have to eat the soil, and the death squad will not let them eat it, but they will know it with their tongues. Because the boundary line can be long and the time is urgent, 100 patients are enlisted.
They are all willing, even fighting.
At least a little bit of the anomalous dirt can be eaten that way.
"I want to do something...... "Zhou Kewen, a senior in high school, said when he applied for the job, "I know that I am finished, at least I have a little value in dying like that......" Thinking that he would die, he was very painful, and he only had one wish, a wish caused by the strong influence of physiology: "Can you let me eat that kind of soil happily before I die, and then kill me again, please......"
"I can't just let my students go." Wang Jinbo, the director of education, was also one of the recruits, and he was also eager to eat a meal of unusual dirt before he died.
It is in this complex emotion that is mixed with fear, depression, wanting to die worthwhile, and greed for twisting the dirt.
100 mentally stable patients participated in the operation.
Among them, 63 people suddenly went berserk during the measurement, broke free from the guard of the death squad, and ran towards the demarcation line, but they did not want to go anywhere, but threw themselves on the ground, digging dirt with their hands and stuffing them into their mouths, some of them went completely crazy, and some of them cried and stuffed at the same time.
They can't fight that hunger, and when a person is hungry to the limit, madness is the norm.
Hunger, extreme hunger, most modern people don't know what it's like, but the blood-stained history books say it must have been cruel.
That will make people no longer human, but become beasts that drink blood again, and those moral, dignity, and will that human beings have so hard to have will be crushed, eat mud, eat plants, and eat cannibalism...... As long as you can quench that hunger, you can't care about anything.
Bang, bang, bang, bang......
As promised before the operation, the snipers of the death squad humanely killed these out-of-control patients, Director Wang and Zhou Kewen ...... All one-shot headshots.
We minimize the pain and try our best to preserve the dignity of the patients.
The bodies of the patients were cremated by Molotov cocktails shortly after they were left in the wasteland area.
The other 37 patients, whose condition was more severe because of the increased radiation exposure in the wasteland area, were euthanized at the end of the operation.
These hundred patients chose a worthy sacrifice that would be remembered if this civilization had not been defeated by this event.
But at the moment, the command center and the people in various departments cannot soak their emotions in this. The demarcation line of the wasteland area was determined to be about 2 square kilometers, and the creation of the life circle was carried out immediately afterwards, and the scale has now been seen.
As a doctor, Wang Ruoxiang watched the front-line operations, observed and analyzed them in front of the screen.
The sound of the gunshot shattered her heart and tore every nerve out of her.
"Are we doctors, or are we corpse collectors?" She muttered to herself.
What can they, the clinicians, do at such a time?
When I was still in medical school, my teachers said that one of the great responsibilities of doctors is to try to alleviate the pain of patients, not only to save people is doctors, but not to save them, no, many diseases cannot be cured temporarily, cancer, many ...... What the doctor has to do is to alleviate the patient's suffering......
She hadn't slept for a long time, and even if she had time to rest, she would wake up suddenly when she was about to fall asleep.
But it was in this state that Wang Ruoxiang participated in the diagnosis and euthanasia of those who returned.
The locusts have changed their bodies and eroded their wills, but they have been able to leave this world peacefully.
It must have been another long day, and at nine o'clock in the morning, a sudden change occurred.
Wang Ruoxiang was woken up in the haze, and hurried to the command room of the isolation base, where everyone was looking at the big screen, the situation in the wasteland area. A fleet of drones appeared in the air, and remote-controlled vehicles appeared on the ground, and from the dividing line, from another space, suddenly entered the wasteland area.
Those are not the equipment of their camp, the logo on it is also very unfamiliar, and there are two Chinese characters, "Xuanmy".
