After the gastroscopy, Zhou Kewen had a strong feeling of vomiting, but in the end he did not vomit out, nor did he vomit blood.

His condition was not optimistic, but he didn't know very well, the medical team didn't tell him, Wang Ruoxiang just gave him some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, and the patient's abdominal pain was relieved, but his mental state became worse and worse, and he kept asking for more soil.

The three of them exited the isolation ward, and after Zhou Kewen, the second patient Sun Cuiting also had an accident, with the same abdominal pain symptoms.

They also gave Sun Cuiting a gastroscopy and also found the translucent white filamentous locust.

In the end, all six patients who participated in the experiment were like this, and it did not make any difference whether they had eaten ordinary soil, vomited blood, or had been vaccinated with diazepam.

Exposure to live patients with locusts in their bodies, despite wearing protective clothing, greatly increased the likelihood of the three people being infected.

Wang Ruoxiang also had a flash of worry in her heart, but she didn't have much energy to put it in this regard, if she was infected, then hurry up and finish the work, while she was still in the incubation period, while she was still conscious. She sorted out some of her thoughts since the dissection of Principal Cui, and made a three-way connection with the medical team and the command center.

Before entering the communication room, she had to go through a set of inspection procedures, including being stamped by the old printers, after all, what her current condition was, others did not know.

And there were only a few commanders who spoke directly to her, Si Kouxian on the medical team, and Yao Shinian on the command center.

After hearing this bad news, everyone's faces became more solemn.

There are also a thousand patients who have not eaten the anomalous soil, all of which can be turned into a locust bank at any time, and only need to eat some anomalous soil.

Now experiments have proved that they cannot meet their need for exophagia, otherwise they will only feed parasites, and it is foreseeable that the patients will eventually die in great pain.

Even if they are insane and have their lobes destroyed, it's better than that......

And Wang Ruoxiang has a few ideas.

"Is President Cui's group of patients the same pathology as Director Wang and Zhou Kewen's group of patients?"

Wang Ruoxiang asked, like hepatitis B patients, there is a difference between big three yang and small three yang. However, the pathology of parasitic diseases is usually the same, unless Principal Cui is the first intermediate host and teachers and students are the second intermediate host. But that's not the case at the moment.

Principal Cui has at least three forms of this parasite in his body, larvae, semi-adult, and adult.

Larvae were found in the bodies of Principal Cui, Zhou Kewen and others, and Zhou Kewen's larvae were decomposed from their own tissues.

It is a process in which the larvae develop into adults in their bodies, and theoretically should be pathologically consistent.

"What if not?"

Wang Ruoxiang said seriously.

"Their pathology already manifests itself differently. It took almost four days for Principal Cui to blow himself up, but there were still many intact parts of his gastric mucosa, and no tissue damage or repair was seen. But Zhou Kewen and Sun Cuiting have only been around for less than four hours, and the gastric mucosa is almost completely gone. The rate of lesions in this area is not the same.

In addition, in terms of spirit, Principal Cui showed reason and fanaticism even before he blew himself up; Zhou Kewen they are painful and close to madness.

Female locusts can excrete more than 100 eggs at a time, and I wonder if the first patients such as President Cui and Li Yuhao are a kind of female locusts? A special kind of worm carrier? And the second batch of patients are eggs? An acute infection? ”

Wang Ruoxiang said, these are not only her medical inferences, but also her sense of gnosis.

Under normal circumstances, after the human body is infected with parasites, there are some characteristics.

A "carrier of worms" is someone who has no obvious clinical signs or symptoms after infection, but is able to transmit the pathogen.

Parasites rarely have acute infection, usually after some clinical symptoms, no treatment or incomplete treatment and gradually turn into the stage of chronic persistent infection, so there will be tissue damage and repair at the site of infection, such as schistosomiasis has the formation of egg granulomas of liver worms, and is also accompanied by the process of liver fibrosis.

At the current speed of Zhou Kewen, such an infection range, and the locust transformation of the whole body are the category of abnormal things.

Another characteristic is called "larval migransis", which refers to the fact that some larvae cannot develop into adults after invading a non-suitable host, but can survive and move in the host for a long time, causing local and systemic lesions. At present, because Zhou Kewen et al. have not yet appeared in semi-adults or adult worms, another possibility cannot be ruled out: although they are both human beings, they are not suitable hosts to cause these different acute symptoms.

"If President Cui's more than 300 people also have acute symptoms, they should go to the hospital, right? But after a few days, even their family members couldn't see anything unusual, which was very much like a worm carrier. And Director Wang and Zhou Kewen can see that they are abnormal at a glance. ”

"Do you feel like the second group of patients is not transmissible?" Si Kouxian asked.

"I don't know, I just feel like they're different." Wang Ruoxiang is not sure, "In terms of transmission routes, I have another idea. ”

Waterborne, food, soil, airborne (droplet), arthropod, direct human.

These are common routes of transmission for human parasites.

Now they can't rule out that the second group of patients had an infection caused by inhaling air or droplets with eggs in the playground.

But the scope of transmission is too precise, and people in the playground are infected regardless of distance and proximity, but the janitor uncle, canteen aunt and others who were also in the school at that time even heard Principal Cui's speech, but they didn't see the self-explosion, they didn't be on the playground, and they didn't get sick until now.

Therefore, the medical team ruled out this possibility from the beginning, and listed the witness of self-explosion as one of the possible conditions for infection.

And now, the strange locusts of the patient's gastric mucosa, Wang Ruoxiang witnessed it with her own eyes, and the gastroscopy also recorded the image.

How is it transmitted? Mental effects?

Where are pathogens after they invade the human body?

It is not physically visible, nor is it a neurological lesion caused by the influence of rituals on the mind of a specific group of people, as is the case with heteroscopia.

It's the whole human body that is infected, and it's contagious.

In some previous animal experiments, the mice ate the eggs of the abnormal soil and the parasites in Principal Cui's body, and so far they have not become ill, and the eggs and parasites have come out again with their defecation. The same is true for other laboratory animals. It is a human parasitic disease in which only the human body appears to be a suitable host.

"Our previous hypothesis was that the new patient witnessed a self-detonation and was mentally affected, resulting in a pathology that triggered the body."

Wang Ruoxiang frowned and said, "So this can explain why only the teachers and students on the playground are infected." But can we be sure? At the moment when Principal Cui blew himself up, 1,006 teachers and students really witnessed it? This is not the case with the investigation from the Investigation Department. ”

Yao Shinian and Si Kouxian both knew what she was talking about, although the teachers and students all said how terrible that scene was, but careful interrogation found that many people actually didn't look in the direction of Principal Cui at that time, some looked away, some were blocked, in short, they didn't witness that scene.

But they also got sick. This is precisely the flaw of the hypothesis of "witnessing self-destruction".

"What if, really, there is a range? It's just that this range covers exactly 1006 people on the playground. Wang Ruoxiang said, "Whether they were listening to President Cui's speech at the time, whether they saw President Cui's self-explosion, whether they were scared or calm, as long as they were within this range, they would be infected." ”

A few people listened and vaguely seemed to think of something......

"What if the locust disease spreads through radiation?" Wang Ruoxiang also said, "A kind of physical radiation is generated at the moment when President Cui's head explodes, and the energy diffuses outward in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles until it is attenuated to the point that it is gone, and this process is that range." ”

"When the human body is exposed to this alien locust radiation, it will cause genetic mutations, but the same mutations, just like nuclear radiation. For example, some genetic information is fixedly changed, or a new piece of information is implanted, causing the human body to become a large insect egg, which only needs the right nutrients to locust. ”

Her hypothesis made Yao Shinian and them unexpected, and it seemed that she woke up the person in her dream with a word.

Not eating eggs, air, droplets, contact, dark erosion, psychic influences...... It's radiation.

So the old seal is useless, it's biological, it's genetic.

If that's the case...... That also means that no matter how tenacious the will and firm belief are, no matter how you can't fight, it's not the spirit, it's the genes.

And such an abnormal disease, "the pathogen invades the human genes by some kind of radiation", the Tianji Bureau has never faced it, and human civilization has never faced it.

Even if it is not a foreign disease, when it comes to treating genetic diseases, human beings are still only outsiders.

"I have one more idea." Wang Ruoxiang sighed deeply before she said it, this thought made herself, Yao Shinian and the others, shudder.

"What if that wasteland is also an anomalous area? There's locust radiation there? That's why all the people who came on Arbor Day were infected? ”

From Principal Cui's self-explosion to the present, in the past forty or so hours, there have been many celestial personnel who have been in and out of that wasteland, including the Concentric Squad.

Although each of them was dressed in a nuclear radiation protective suit, they did not stay for a long time.

But the peacock had the idea of eating that kind of locust.
