The night sky in Dongzhou was gray, and from night to early morning, there were fewer people on the streets.

Although the Internet is strictly controlled, the media in Dongzhou have been talking in the past two days, and people's mobile phones have also received notification information, there is a new type of influenza outbreak in Dongzhou recently, which is very contagious and has a high fatality rate, if you suddenly have muscle aches, mental anxiety, insomnia and nightmares, you must seek medical attention in time.

Due to the seriousness of the news, people have spontaneously reduced their going out and avoided going to crowded places, and the whole city is shrouded in a layer of death.

It was early in the morning when Gu Jun arrived at the medical department of the Tianji Bureau on the outskirts of the city, and after a month and a half, he finally returned here.

The buildings of the medical department were still brightly lit, but the colleagues who could be seen all the way were hurrying, no one was talking, not even making eye contact, as if they couldn't see each other. Professor Qin told Gu Jun that there is no internal prohibition now, but it is not recommended to have small talk outside of work.

There are already three cases in the medical department, none of which are people Gu Jun is familiar with, they are nightmare disease researchers in the psychological group.

Because he had to race against time, Gu Jun hadn't had a chance to meet any acquaintance, so he followed him to the Spiritual Psychology Building as soon as possible. He often came to this place during his induction, but there were no unfamiliar operations personnel stationed in awe, and there was no gloom in the air.

"There are currently 10 patients here." Professor Qin added, "The other patients are in isolation camps. Yao Shinian nodded.

After entering the building, they passed through many checkpoints before they entered the Nightmare Disease Research Center on the 12th floor.

It doesn't look like it's past 1 a.m., from the hallways to the offices, there are busy medical staff and experimenters, all from neurology, psychiatry, psychology and other aspects trying to understand the disease.

But they either frowned, or their faces were expressionless, and they couldn't find any breakthrough.

"Elder Qin, Team Leader Yao." Tang Zhifeng, the leader of the psychology group, walked quickly, and was a little surprised when he saw Gu Jun, he knew Gu Jun.

Tang Zhifeng was one of the judges of the medical skills competition that day, and he also praised Gu Jun's psychological quality.

But later, Gu Jun suspected that it was "something in the banyan tree" and was taken away by the abnormal force investigation team, and Tang Zhifeng also knew about it. And many other people here have also heard some gossip about Gu Jun, mainly saying that this rising star was taken away for committing a crime, and they were also quite puzzled about his appearance at this time.

"This Gu Jun is his own person." Professor Qin raised his voice and introduced to everyone, "He has done a lot of great things, and now he has come to join the research work." ”

Everyone was suddenly amazed, being so valued by Qin Lao and Commander Yao, Gu Jun seemed to be able to bring something?

But didn't Gu Jun turn out to be from the surgical side? Oh yes, the research plan to try treatment with lobotomy, the first operation will be performed tomorrow morning, Gu Jun joined the surgical team, but how can it attract so much attention......

"Hello everyone." As soon as Gu Jun greeted everyone, Professor Qin said, "Team Leader Tang, let's take Ah Jun to see the patient." ”

Soon, Gu Jun put on a white coat and a medical mask again after many days, and followed several leaders to the ward area on the floor.

In the past, he used to wear a mask to make his breath stuffy, but now this long-lost feeling makes his heart feel a little more peaceful.

The corridors in the ward area are more heavily guarded, each room is a single room, and the door is equipped with soundproof one-way glass windows, and the room can be seen from the corridor.

It was through the glass window that Gu Jun saw the nightmare patient for the first time, a young man with an ordinary figure sitting on the hospital bed in a trance.

"This patient was just admitted yesterday." Professor Qin said, and his voice had a calm that the old doctor sounded cold:

"Ah Jun, now we divide the development of nightmares into three stages, this patient is still in the early stage, the clinical manifestations are mainly sleep dysfunction, every night after falling asleep, the nightmare will be repeated, and after waking up, he can no longer fall asleep. Some patients with moderate to severe stage have tried not to sleep at night, but they still have hallucinations at about the same point, and they cannot sleep well without nightmares during the day. ”

"In the initial stage, the patient's mental health will deteriorate rapidly, and the limb flaccid muscle weakness will appear, followed by autonomic dysfunction, manifested by increased sweating, tachycardia, arrhythmias, orthostatic hypotension, etc. Another first symptom is the tongue...... Let's go inside and have a look. ”

At that moment, two operational guards opened the door of the ward, went in first and instructed the patient to be honest and obey the rules, and the group walked in.

When the patient saw a group of doctors coming in, he was a little excited, and he was about to say something.

Gu Jun's heart tugged, and he could see the panic in the patient's eyes and the desire to survive.

The other party is only a few years older than him, and he should not face death at this age of twenty-five or six.

"Ahh The patient only dared to make such a muffled sound, the rule here is that the patient cannot speak freely, only what the doctor asks, and must say word by word, and the slightest inappropriate guard will immediately use a stun gun to stop it.

"Hello, please open your mouth." Gu Jun listened to what Professor Qin said, took a small flashlight, and stepped forward to examine the patient's tongue with a serious face.

The patient was very cooperative, sitting on the edge of the bed, raising his head and opening his mouth wide.

Before Gu Jun could take care of it with a flashlight, his heart suddenly sank, as if he was violently pulled by the pathological scene in front of him.

The patient's tongue is already a noticeable atrophied tongue, nearly half smaller than normal, curled into a small awkward shape, and the tongue is strangely black, exuding a strong odor, as if it were the tongue of a corpse......

The cadaveric phenomenon has a tongue atrophy, and the change is almost the same as the tongue in front of you.

"That's it." Gu Jun nodded to the patient in a deep voice.

"Ahh......h

But after looking at the tongue, the group went out, leaving only the patient standing by the bed in a daze.

"Atrophic tongue is the first symptom in early patients." In the corridor, Professor Qin said to Gu Jun, "And the patient will feel dry mouth, but drinking water cannot relieve this symptom, it may be nerve damage." However, at this stage, the patient's mental will is still fine, but it becomes a little agitated. ”

"According to him, the patient was infected by reading a friend's WeChat message." Tang Zhifeng next to him sighed, "His friend is also here, it's mid-term." ”

Gu Jun could only be silent when he heard this, how could he dare to think that he would definitely be able to save them, he didn't have the feeling of triggering gnosis......

He looked at the patient in the room through the one-way window, and the other party was already sitting there in a trance, not knowing what to think.

He calmed down and looked at the patient information sign hanging at the door:

[Name: Chen Wenwei.]

Age: 25

Condition: Initial stage】
