The leader granted leave.

But Li Ming's request for leave for two days in a row quickly spread within the small company, and a few friends who were close to Li Ming began to whisper in the office.

"I'm not feeling well, but I don't dare to ask for leave like Li Ming, otherwise my year-end bonus will be gone."

"Yes, I don't dare to ask for leave, although I'm not busy right now, I'd rather sit in the office and watch dramas."

"What are you watching?"

"Zombie film - "Train to Busan".

One of them whispered, showing the phone screen to the other.

On the screen, a person is evolving into a zombie, his body is stiff, his neck is tilted back, the corners of his mouth are crooked, black stripes appear all over his body, his eyes become blurred, and soon normal people become zombies, standing up and attacking the person next to him.

"Do you boys like watching such disgusting movies?" One of the female colleagues asked in a low voice with a frown.

"Where's the disgusting? This is a world-famous horror zombie movie. ”

The movie screen on the mobile phone screen continued, and suddenly, Li Xin, the girl at the desk in front of her, slipped from the office chair and fell to the ground.

Li Xin, who was thin and weak, was lying on the ground at this time, convulsions all over, his neck was stiff, his head was tilted back, and his face had a twisted and painful expression.

At this time, Li Xin's appearance was very similar to the appearance of zombies on the mobile phone screen.

"Mom? What happened to Li Xin? ”

The colleague who took the phone just now was so shocked that he dropped the phone on the ground and stammered, "Zombie?!" ”

Soon, colleagues in the office surrounded them, and there were still sober people, "You have watched too many movies, what kind of zombie?" Li Xin is obviously sick, call 120. ”

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, several female colleagues tried to take care of Li Xin, who was twitching on the ground.

"Is Li Xin crazy? You'll have to find a towel to keep her mouth shut, or you'll bite her tongue. "A colleague proposed.

Soon, someone brought a towel and was ready to plug Li Xin's mouth.

But her teeth were so closed that she couldn't put anything in them.

Just when everyone was helpless, Li Xin's symptoms suddenly eased.

She was conscious and tried to get up from the ground.

A colleague helped her and helped her sit in a chair.

"Li Xin, what's wrong with you? Where was it uncomfortable just now? Are you crazy? Colleagues asked.

Li Xin was still in pain, trying to squeeze out a smile, but it was a wry smile, his expression was very ugly, and he couldn't speak.

A kind colleague brought a glass of water, "Li Xin, drink some water." ”

A glass of water was brought to Li Xin, but he didn't expect Li Xin to look at the water, but suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground.

This attack was worse than the last, with trembling limbs, distorted faces, heads thrown back, and teeth squeaking......

There was a muffled "click", and those around her could hear her bones breaking.

Her colleagues were frightened and didn't dare to move her again.

The female colleague who handed the water to Li Xin just now was already standing in place in shock, "I...... I just want to hand her a glass of water......"

"Oh, Li Xin can't be rabies, right? I've heard that people who have rabies are afraid of water, and they have convulsions all over their bodies. ”

Yu Xiaorong, a female colleague who is usually better with Li Xin, suddenly covered her hands, "Two days ago, when I was building a team in Cloud Farm, I teased the dog on the farm with Li Xin. ”

"You were bitten by a dog?"

"I wasn't bitten, but the dog licked my fingers, and Li Xin's situation didn't know."

Everyone retreated one after another, not only away from Li Xin, who was twitching on the ground, but also away from Yu Xiaorong.

Everyone in the office already thought they had rabies.

Rabies patients can bite, and everyone is afraid of being bitten by both of them.

Yu Xiaorong was already a little panicked, and when she saw her colleagues moving away, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, fell to the ground, and twitched on the ground like Li Xin.

The colleagues had already been very scared by Li Xin's appearance, but now that there is another Yu Xiaorong, everyone is even more afraid to approach, just waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

——

The First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City, emergency room.

Li Xin and Yu Xiaorong were taken to the emergency room by ambulance, and doctors and nurses saw them for the first time.

A trainee nurse stared at Li Xin on the hospital bed, her expression was painful, her head was tilted back, and her limbs were constantly twitching.

The same is true for Yu Xiaorong on the hospital bed next to him.

The little nurse was very scared and whispered to the emergency doctor next to her, "Why does the patient look like this?" Like zombies in the movies. ”

Emergency physicians have experience, "What zombies are there in the real world?" In this case, it is either rabies or medication. ”

"Is it going to be like this?" The little nurse asked, "I've seen drug addicts when they get sick before, but it's not as serious as it is now." ”

"Ever heard of zombie bath salts?"

"Oh, I've heard of a new type of hallucinogen, but I've only heard the name, and I've never seen a person who gets sick after taking it. However, listening to the saying on the Internet, once a person sucks zombie bath salts, he becomes like a zombie and will gnaw on people's faces. ”

The emergency doctor briefly examined the two patients and then asked a few questions from the company colleagues who accompanied them.

"When did the patient get sick?"

"Just now, from the ambulance to our company's return to the hospital, it only took more than half an hour."

"Before the onset of the disease, the two patients had been working at the company?"

"Yes, our company has a strict attendance system, and we go to work on time at 8:30 in the morning, so the time of their illness is more than nine o'clock, which is more than an hour after work."

The emergency doctor thought to himself that if the two patients had smoked zombie bath salts, then the onset time must have been less than an hour, and the time was not right, and this cause could be ruled out.

"Have the two patients had any previous contact with dogs?" The emergency physician continued to ask the company colleague who had accompanied the patient.

"Oh, I heard Yu Xiaorong say that when they were building a group in Cloud Farm the day before yesterday, they teased the farmer's dog, and Yu Xiaorong's hand was licked by the dog."

Having had contact with dogs, rabies cannot be ruled out.

Emergency physicians quickly snap through their minds with several illnesses that can cause symptoms of muscle stiffness throughout the body.

Stiff person syndrome, a hereditary muscle stiffness disease, but the presence of two people at the same time, the probability of stiff person syndrome is not high.

Schinin poisoning?

Steine is an alkaloid, and it is not excluded that both patients have consumed foods containing shinine at the same time.

"Did both patients eat the same food in the morning?" The emergency physician continued to ask.

"There shouldn't be, Li Xin and Yu Xiaorong don't live together, and they live in opposite directions, the two don't usually cross paths much, and the breakfast of our female colleagues in our company is very simple, what they eat at home is not soy milk fritters, or porridge side dishes, if you come to eat near the company, it is coffee or milk bread, they should not have eaten the same food, but I'm not sure."

"Has anyone else in your company had similar symptoms?" The emergency doctor asked.
