Chapter 4 Heterotextual Medicine
The night sky is dark, and the cruise ship slowly sails on the endless sea, exuding a hazy light.
In a luxurious suite on the high deck level of the cruise ship, Gu Jun sat at his desk, looking at the small medicine box placed on the table, frowning. It has been more than half a day since he got the box of medicine as a reward for the mission, but his doubts are constantly increasing.
It was a small square cardboard box, no different from the packaging of ordinary cold medicines, but the text printed on it was neither Chinese nor English, and he couldn't make out what language it was.
The pill box contained the only row of pills, packed in aluminum foil, and only 5 round white capsules.
There is no instruction manual, and that kind of text is printed on the aluminum foil.
"I seem to have some impressions," Gu Jun thought at first...... "Is it the language on that pinnacle rock?" Or which language in the world? ”
But now, he has searched the Internet all night, comparing more than a dozen mainstream languages in the world with hundreds of other languages, even those rare small languages, all of them are not, not even one of them is similar, as if this language is not the product of human thinking.
Gu Jun vaguely felt that this was not the writing of the earth, but human beings have thousands of languages, and he couldn't say whether this feeling was right or wrong.
But what about targeted drugs for brainstem tumors? There are not many pharmaceutical companies on the planet that can have this kind of pharmaceutical capabilities, only a few pharmaceutical giants.
If this is an earth-grown drug, the text on the pill box should be in English, German, or French......
In addition to this mysterious text, there is an identical pattern in the upper right corner of the front on both sides of the box, the size of the logo, which should be the trademark. This pattern looks like the side of a sea creature:
The whale-like body has sharp serrated dorsal and caudal fins, while pectoral and pelvic fins have strange limb shapes.
Like the text, he couldn't find out what kind of creature it was, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the pattern had a frenzy that was difficult to explain......
After thinking about it for a long time, his head ached a little, and when Gu Jun looked at the clock again, he found that it was almost zero o'clock.
Previously, the system said that the task list would be refreshed as soon as midnight was passed every day.
He watched the second hand of the clock move, and when it was past midnight, he immediately opened the task list to see, and sure enough, it had been refreshed.
[Normal task: Successfully prick the rubber tube tourniquet with an intravenous infusion needle 1000 times and practice your injection skills. Reward: 1 box of human brainstem tumor targeting drugs, the effect of which can extend the life of the host by five days
Difficult task: Successfully treat 100 pediatric patients today. Reward: 1 handful of Carlop brand dissecting scissors
Abyss Mission: Complete the dissection of 1 ghoul within a week. Reward: Unknown
"Refresh at zero o'clock every day, is this forcing me to stay up late, my liver doesn't move......"
Gu Jun muttered in his heart and watched, the abyss task is still this one, it seems that although the list is refreshed every day, the abyss level will not be a new task every time.
Difficult tasks are not fulfilled on a cruise ship; And the ordinary task is still very simple, just have a scalp needle and a rubber tube tourniquet.
At that moment, Gu Jun called the cruise ship service desk and asked for these two things to be delivered, the reason was to practice needle pricking. Now that he is also a supreme guest, there is naturally no problem with this small request. Soon, a waiter brought in a small box.
As soon as the things were in hand, Gu Jun accepted the ordinary task and immediately began to practice at the desk.
The rubber tube tourniquet is the most common yellow hollow rubber belt, and it will have the texture of piercing the blood vessel when it is pierced with a needle, so piercing the tourniquet is the first step for nurses to learn how to administer injections. Gu Jun has no systematic nursing training, but he has injected a lot of experimental animals and is no stranger to intravenous injections.
He took the scalp needle and carefully inserted the needle at 30-40 degrees over and over again to puncture the tourniquet. I've tried it before, and it's not a "success".
After more than two hours, "1000/1000" was achieved, he had already pierced a bunch of tourniquets, his right arm was sore and weak, and he was overly sick with his hands at night.
At this time, Gu Jun heard another ding dong in his head.
"Normal Quest - Mission Complete!"
"Your Calm Hand proficiency has increased, and you are now level 1 (1500/5000 proficiency)"
"The mission reward has been distributed: 1 box of targeted drugs for human brainstem tumors, the effect of which can extend the life of the host by five days"
Again, Gu Jun felt a sinking in his pocket, and reached out to take out another box of medicine. Comparing the two boxes, only the text printed in a few places on the box is different, which should be numbers, batches, production dates and other information.
If he is a linguist, he may be able to see some clues, but he can only see some clues about medicine.
"It looks like temozolomide." Gu Jun took out two rows of ten white capsules from two boxes of medicine and looked at them repeatedly.
Temozolomide is the most first-line targeted drug for brainstem tumors, but there are many types of brainstem tumors, and temozolomide treats glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma. Unfortunately, he had medulloblastoma, and there were no targeted drugs on the market......
And these capsules, I don't know what the ingredients are, but obviously these are chemical drugs, small molecule drugs, and theoretically oral use can pass through the blood-brain barrier, and then have an effect on tumors. Looks fine.
The question is, is this really a "human brainstem tumor targeted drug"?
The more Gu Jun thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he looked at the quiet sea outside the balcony, but it seemed that what he saw was a stormy wave, and those indescribable delirious illusions were constantly churning on the sea. He saw a monster that was breaking free from the cage of the abyss, it needed food, it needed life......
"What if I'm the bread? What if these pills are traps set by monsters? What if death wasn't the worst and most terrible thing? ”
This thought made Gu Jun's heart throb for a while, he stood up, looked at the sea, and clenched the pill in his hand.
Demons will trick you with what you want most.
That pinnacle rock of the sea, this mysterious power...... Does my parents' research have anything to do with this?
Gu Jun paced a few steps, although the calm hand is really effective, it does not mean that this box of medicine is also. That is, the mission is short, and before he understands the situation, he thinks that he needs to be calm in everything, because the decision to lose his mind is often a disaster.
This caution about the unknown has overshadowed the excitement of regaining life.
Besides, as a medical dog, he can't do it directly......
Pregnant!
Gu Jun thought of a way to see if these two boxes of pills were really effective.
You have to hurry, he only has 59 days left in his life, and he is simply experiencing another damn countdown to the college entrance examination.
