The 16-year-old patient, Kevin Greer, was getting worse and developing new symptoms.

In the latest clinical footage sent by FBM to the Heavenly Machinery Bureau, he is sitting on the edge of a hospital bed, his whole body stiffened by ossification, and his skin is blackened like the water of the Negro River. Since yesterday, on the seventh day after the onset of the disease, he began to develop a mental state similar to delirium.

"That pyramid keeps coming up in front of me...... That's not an illusion, it's right in front of me...... I can only dream of the pyramid when I sleep, and it is there...... It's my body, I'm a part of it...... Get it off, please, help me get it off......"

Kevin Greer gripped his head with both hands in pain, but it was only immediately more uncomfortable, his stiff hands could not bend, and the pull brought severe pain.

And the pyramid that only he saw was still there, crushing every muscle of him, sticking it together.

"The pyramid is still there, it's still there!" Kevin Greer suddenly got up like crazy, but because both ankle joints also had soft tissue ossification, he fell back to the hospital bed in pain as soon as he tried to get up, and he couldn't control his body at all.

The same is true for patients with severe petrification disease, no matter how much they struggle with resentment, they can't do it if they want to harm themselves or commit suicide.

After a useless struggle, Kevin Greer lay motionless on the hospital bed, only to hiss like a trapped beast.

His state was classified by FBM's medical team as the third stage of petrification, "spiritual petrification".

At this stage, the patient is not only ossified in the body, but also has water flu in the body, but also the spirit is petrified. FBM conducted psychiatric examinations on thousands of stage 3 patients and found that they had delirium, forgetfulness, amnesia, dementia, etc., and it seemed that if they continued to become a living dead.

The pyramids that appear in front of the Stage 3 patients have the same points, the whole is blood-red, and the stones on the walls are human bones, each with a different head.

Where this pyramid exists, no one can say for sure. But all countries know that it must not be allowed to befall the world.

In order to do a good job in disease control, information about pyramids, floods, etc., has been blocked all over the world.

It's just that some new patients who have just become ill in New York, Lundy and other places show a new trend in the mode of transmission of petrified disease.

It's like a rushing flood breaking through another dam, causing even more damage.

When these patients were investigated, they did not have a direct history of pyramid exposure, and they did not search the Internet or learn about it from the media.

They came into contact with the pyramids for the first time in recent days only because they walked the streets of the city and saw high-rise buildings.

"At that time, there were a lot of cars on the road, a lot of people ......," said one of the patients, Ians Johnson, blankly, "you know, it was very noisy, the sound of cars, the noise of passers-by, some chatting on their phones, some of them were fighting, I felt a little irritated, and then, those high-rise buildings suddenly reminded me of the pyramids, I don't know why, I just remembered......"

The statements of these patients are almost identical.

"I remembered the pyramids, and then I felt more bored." Another patient, Jack O'Toole, gasped and spoke, his chest already ossified, "so many tall buildings, the whole city, seemed to be pressing on me, I couldn't breathe......"

"I haven't been to Egypt, and I don't have any hobby for pyramids." One female patient, Dina Pullman, was hesitant to get an answer, "There's no way there's a pyramid in the Grand Canyon, right?" I was standing on the edge of a cliff and looking out over the landscape, and I felt that it was really amazing, so open...... Suddenly, inexplicably, I remembered the pyramid and even seemed to see it right in front, why is this happening? ”

Dina Pullman represents a new group of patients who also have no recent contact with the pyramids, and they do not have the onset of the disease in the city, but they are facing the natural scenery, or the mountains, or the sea, which make them feel grand, and then the pyramids appear.

"Don't think about the pyramids, don't look at tall buildings, don't look at tall things, don't touch the sublime!"

Liu Jiecheng said this sentence with a crazy laugh before he died, and now the Tianji Bureau understands the meaning, this sentence has actually revealed the transmission route of petrochemical disease.

The disaster that is happening all over the world is gradually getting out of control, from 500,000 patients to 1 million patients in just one day.

Even those developed regions are facing a collapse of medical resources, with too many patients and too few medical staff at the same time.

And the epidemic situation has gradually become impossible to hide from the people, and the Internet in these countries has become even more chaotic.

On the other hand, since the disaster did not occur in the realm of heavenly machines, even if the epidemic is so severe, human civilization may be on the verge of extinction, but many open and secret battles between countries have begun. While FBM shared information with the Tianji Bureau, it obviously kept a hand, and even the Tianji Bureau investigated.

Trust in each other is already fragile, and it never even existed.

The medical teams of various countries have long been helpless, if this is a mental illness with only stage 3 symptoms, it can still be treated with lobotomy, but this is not, the autoimmune system is indeed wrong, alkaline phosphatase and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase cannot be lowered and it is useless to cut the brain.

In addition, a lot of things are happening that go beyond the realm of medicine.

Professor Liu Qiqing, Professor Glasser and others, regardless of whether they have developed the disease or not, are exhausted.

It's still possible to block information, but how can you keep people out of contact with tall buildings? Modern civilization is built on high-rise buildings.

It is impossible for everyone to suddenly evacuate and go back to the countryside, which is equivalent to the collapse of order, and the countryside can also have high-rise buildings and natural scenery......

Even without these external things, human beings can feel sublime just by looking at the sky, and the sky is the tallest thing.

"There's no way we can control it......" Professor Glaser's hoarse voice as he reached the tipping point of stage 3 after only one day, weakly admitting the failure of himself and the entire FBM medical team: "We can't do much, not even the medieval means of bloodletting." ”

Petrification disease, one of the three diseases that destroyed human civilization in the later legends of Dadi City.

If the epidemic is a flood, the water level is already too high.

It was in this situation that the joint mobile task force "Stone Breaker Squad" sent by the two bureaus of Tianxuan set off for Egypt.
