Chapter XV. Investigation
Su Ming got all the hospital locations from the army, and the direction he went was Queen Mary Hospital, the largest medical place in the city.
The entrance of the hospital was very cold, and there were few people walking around in the open space outside the hospital, a nurse, two soldiers, and Su Ming himself.
Walking through the steps of the hospital, Su Ming pushed open the glass door at the door, the glass door and window were obviously new, the hospital had many people treated here when the virus broke out, and there were also a lot of wild corpses attacking here.
There was a nurse sitting at the consultation window, looking through the books in her hand with relish.
"I am a special combat team member arranged by the government, and I came here to investigate with the assistance of Captain Kuru of the Third Brigade." Su Ming walked up to the nurse and said to her, and the nurse put down the fashion magazine in her hand and quickly stood up.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" The little nurse asked in a whisper.
"When were the first patients with the mad corpse virus in your hospital discovered?" Su Ming asked.
"Hmm...... It seems like 168 days ago, and I happened to buy a dress that day. The little nurse recalled.
"What were the symptoms of the patient at that time?"
"I remember the patient being tied to the cart because he kept yelling and wanting to bite with his mouth open. I thought he was mentally ill. ”
"Don't have patients at an earlier stage? I mean the initial stage of coughing up blood with a fever. ”
"No, he was one of the first patients in our hospital to suffer from the nectaric disease, and I only found out about it later. He was hopeless when he sent it, and in fact every person infected with the necrophilia virus was not saved. The little nurse recalls the scene that day.
"Thank you." Su Ming left after listening, there was no clue here.
The same is true at the next hospital, where the patient becomes ill on the same day and is in the same condition. The patient was tied up by his family and taken to the hospital. At that time, the whole city of Help was in chaos, and the family member who had brought the patient for treatment had been bitten before he came, and he had mutated in just a few hours.
The three hospitals Su Ming investigated did not find any of them, and they all met patients on the same day. After getting no clues, Su Ming returned the same way, and Tang Tian's avatar in the team column sent a message.
"Did you find anything?"
Su Ming looked at the information column with novelty, it turned out that the team could communicate like this. Su Ming studied it for a while, looked at his avatar and imagined that a chat box would appear when he sent a message.
"No, it's all mid-to-advanced patients found on the same day." Su Ming replied in the chat box.
"I'm ...... too," Duanmu Zong replied.
"It's the same with my hospital, but I found a clue in a small clinic. The day before the virus broke out, a man with a bite on the arm went there for treatment. Tang Tian said his findings in the information column.
Su Ming was interested when he heard this, maybe this was where the investigators were negligent. Su Ming opened the map and walked towards her after seeing Tang Tian's location.
The clinic was a doctor's private business, and Su Ming was waiting outside the door when he arrived at the back end. The three of them gathered together, and Tang Tian began to tell the information he had gotten.
"According to the clinic's doctor, the patient's arm was bitten deeply and his face was very red at the time." Tang Tian said.
Su Ming thought that this person might be the first patient, and the person who bit him might be the source of infection.
Su Ming walked into the clinic and found the doctor, "I am a member of the special combat team, and I am assisted by the third brigade Kuru to investigate the virus incident. ”
"Didn't you just ask? What else do you want me to say? The doctor was an old man with gray sideburns, and he said to Su Ming and the others with reading glasses.
"Have government investigators been here?" Su Ming asked.
"Someone did come and asked me if I had found any patients in the early stages of the necrophilic virus, and I didn't remember the man at the time, so I said no, and I didn't remember until you asked me again." The old doctor pushed his glasses and said. Su Ming didn't expect such an important clue to be delayed because of an old man's memory.
"Do you remember what the patient said? For example, what does the person who bites him look like, and does he have any characteristics in appearance? Su Ming pulled over a chair and sat opposite the old doctor.
"He seems to say......" thought to the old doctor, taking off his glasses.
"What did he say?" Tang Tian asked anxiously.
He said he was resting in the car with his hands resting outside the window. Suddenly, a man in a white coat came running up to him and bit him, because it was night, and he didn't see what the man looked like. The old doctor thought hard.
"White coats? Any clues? Duanmu Zong asked, the range of people wearing white coats is wide, doctors, food production, and some jobs may wear this kind of clothing.
"No, that's all. When he came, the skin of his hand was bitten open, and if he hadn't retracted his hand in time, I'm afraid that even the flesh would have to be bitten off. After I bandaged him, he said that he was a little dizzy and feverish, and prescribed him some fever-reducing medicine. The old doctor spread his hands and said he knew this.
"Do you know where he was bitten?" Su Ming asked.
"It's across the street from my clinic." The old doctor gestured out the door.
"It's a shame that I didn't come to open the store the next day, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me today." The old doctor put on his glasses and continued to read his medical book.
Su Ming and the three of them walked around the housing area, and most of the nearby residents went to the empty building. After finding the initial patient leads, the next step is gone.
"What should I do? Do you want someone from the government to help you investigate? Tang Tian said with some discouragement.
"It doesn't make a difference whether the source of the virus exists or not. The virus has spread, and even finding the source will make little sense to them. Duanmu Zong took the aisle.
"With the help of the military, it is also possible, since the old doctor said that the bite was a white coat, then we can start from the list here, starting with the doctors, there should not be many doctors in a room." Su Ming felt that he could give it a try.
The three of them returned to Kuru's office and explained the situation, "It's okay to ask for a list, but what's the use of you finding it?" The Great Purge has disposed of all the mad corpses in the city. ”
"Finding the original source of infection may be able to develop an antidote based on the maternal virus, and he will certainly not get the virus for no reason." Su Ming explained.
"Well, it's your business to do what you're willing to do, you go check the list with Peter, but don't get your hopes up." Kuru asked Su Ming to follow a soldier to check the list information.
There was a knock on the door outside "Dangdang", and Su Ming looked up to see that it was a woman in a white coat, her hair was concise, her facial features were exquisite, and her delicate melon seed face was wearing a pair of glasses.
"Ah~ Dr. Binget, long time no see." Kuru looked at the beauty and smiled.
"Mr. Kuru, this is the fifteenth report on the virus, and the commander is not here, please help me pass it on to him." Bingert pulled out a document and placed it on Kuru's desk.
"Willing to serve."
"These good-eyed students, may I ask who you are?" Bingert looked at Su Ming and the three asked.
"Special Forces, come here to investigate the source of the virus." Su Ming replied.
"Hello, I'm Ryling Bingert from the Institute of Virology. Fortunately. Bingert pushed his glasses and smiled brightly.
"The mother of the virus may help us decipher the virus antibodies, so if you find the source of infection, you must notify me as soon as possible."
"These special combat members are not vegetarians, they have already found clues about the initial stage of infection in the Golden Leaf District, and it is said that the other party was bitten by a man in a white coat." Kuru said to Binget, looking a little admiring.
"Oh~ That's the case, worthy of being a member of the special combat team, then I wish you a speedy success, there are still some things in the research institute that I will leave first." Bingert walked away with sensual lotus steps, and Su Ming noticed something unusual, but he didn't care.
The trio followed the soldier named Peter to a room where electronic equipment was running and some staff members were operating computer-like equipment.
Peter sat in front of a screen, fingers touching the screen. Soon he opened a system full of lists of people from the city of Herp. Peter searched by keywords one by one, and there were a total of six doctors in the Golden Leaf District, including two nurses in the medical industry, ten staff members in three pharmacies, three doctors in virus research, and some people in the food industry.
Su Ming noticed that Ruili Bingert was also among them, "I didn't expect Ms. Bingert to be in the Golden Leaf District. ”
"She is a well-known talented woman in our city, after marrying his husband, the two lived in the Golden Leaf District not far from the research institute, and many people were heartbroken after she got married." Peter said.
"There's Captain Kuru among them." Tang Tian asked.
"Haha, you can see it. Captain Kuru used to be her suitor as well. Peter smiled.
Peter took the paper and copied down these lists one by one, and could think that the lists in white coats were here, Su Ming took the list and decided to start working.
Su Ming and the three people in the Golden Leaf District took their respective lists to search one by one, especially paying attention to the relevant people who have died or are missing.
Three of the six doctors ruled out the clinic were still alive, one died on the road, and one died in the crowd of corpses in the hospital, and the doctors were the first to rule it out. Both nurses are still alive and they are also excluded.
Five of the ten pharmacy staff are alive, and all three have survivors who survived the zombie tide and can testify that their colleagues died at the hands of the corpses, and they are also excluded.
One of the three doctors from the Institute of Virology is in the research institute, Bingert is fine, and his husband has not seen it for the time being, but judging from Bingete's condition, his husband should have no problem.
The only ones left were those who were engaged in the food industry and some suspicious people, and Su Ming was a little dizzy when he looked at the long list.
"No, I can't stand it. I feel like my legs aren't my legs anymore. Tang Tian sent a message.
Duanmu Zong said that he couldn't stand it, the sunset had set, and the sky was gradually darkening. Su Ming agreed to find this first today, and the three of them returned to the government office together, deciding to finish eating and sleeping tomorrow.
After meeting, Tang Tian pouted, as a therapeutic profession, she broke her leg for a task, and she wanted to shout that her talent was not here.
The three of them came to the cafeteria to receive a piece of food each, and sat at the table in the cafeteria and ate listlessly.

Su Ming, who was eating, was suddenly stunned, he was poisoned! According to the hint, this is the mad corpse virus, and Tang Tian and Duanmu Zong also suddenly stopped eating. They also encountered the same situation.
