CHAPTER 11 CHAPTER 132 ONCE CONNECTED
Although Yuexi Town is a relatively backward area in the suburbs, its management is quite comprehensive.
In the six months since the onset of the disease, the number of deaths has been reduced to about three per week, and all patients are isolated and treated in isolation spaces established by the authorities, and there are relevant volunteer medical personnel in the isolation area who are responsible for guarding the quarantine area and sampling and analyzing the blood of patients, and constantly trying to treat the disease.
However, only the infectious properties of some viruses have been obtained, and eradication treatment is not possible.
Zhang Chen took advantage of his friends in the big town to send a large number of letters asking for help on weekdays, but at most he got some material supplements, and the outside world could not have any relevant skills and powerful doctors to help deal with it, and the real Yuexi Town was still under a complete blockade by the military, and no one was allowed to leave the town.
Suddenly, a new technology company from the outside world wanted to set up a headquarters in Yuexi Town, and Zhang Chen, as the secretary of the town party committee, was naturally quite happy, and of course he was quite vigilant about this matter.
Zhang Chen personally went to learn about the company's technology, and the other party brought a cutting-edge scientific and technological means that Zhang Chen had never heard of in college, through a self-aware human symbiotic bacteria, implanted in the patient's body to multiply in various tissues, and devour cells infected by the black tuberculosis virus to document the disease.
The mayor of the town didn't understand the so-called high-tech technique, but he felt that the other party's technology might be really useful, so he directly agreed.
Zhang Chen thought about this matter seriously, and read a large number of documents in the hands of the other company, but found several extremely important problems.
This technique seems to have been developed recently, and the other party has not been able to provide any data on experimentation on animals. At the same time, the person in charge of the other company said that in the early stage of the introduction of technology, it is necessary to select patients with different degrees of infection from the isolation area for technical experiments to observe the overall efficacy.
Such a situation made Zhang Chen feel that the other party seemed to be using his townspeople to conduct live experiments.
After all, half a year has passed, and Zhang Chen also knows that it is impossible to get rid of such an infected virus by relying on the existing medical equipment in Yuexi Town. Therefore, Zhang Chen also agreed to come to the company to implement the project, but Zhang Chen asked the other party to be present during the experiment to observe the whole process, and once the patient's condition deteriorated, Zhang Chen would have the right to revoke all contracts with the company.
The personnel of the other company agreed to Zhang Chen's request on the spot.
The mayor cuts the ribbon, and the new tech company is quickly set up in the safety of Mooncreek, where the townspeople hear about the possibility of a cure for the desperate mole. It was also a parade and cheering in the streets with banners.
The technology of the modern capital town has reached a considerable level, and the establishment of the company's headquarters is only a week.
Subsequently, the relevant personnel of the company cooperated with the medical staff of Yuexi Town to go to the quarantine area to select the medical technology implementation targets under the condition of being fully armed, and Zhang Chen also went to the scene wearing protective clothing.
Zhang Chen, who has always been the secretary of the overall situation, came to the front line of the quarantine area for the first time.
When the door of the quarantine area was opened, even though there was a protective suit, Zhang Chen faintly felt a sense of fear of death spreading in his back, and the black tuberculosis infected people inside could not see any other look in their eyes except for death. The festering, blackened skin was constantly oozing with rancid pus, and most of the people who had been placed here had given up on survival.
A total of five patients with different degrees of infection were selected and sent to the company's internal pathology laboratory through a closed transport device.
Zhang Chen watched all this very carefully, and the experiment of the new technology first began with the treatment of patients infected with black tuberculosis for a day, and then followed by an unknown dilution of bacteria from the patient's vein. Immediately there is an extremely strong physiological reaction, incontinence, miosis, increased heart rate and other phenomena.
However, the detector can clearly detect that the number of cells infected with the black tuberculosis virus in the patient's body is decreasing in large quantities.
Zhang Chen's eyes saw the hope of saving Yuexi Town, even if it was only a successful treatment of such a mild infection, it would be a great breakthrough.
However, the next experiment went very smoothly, which made Zhang Chen even more dumbfounded.
The last of the five test subjects has skin decay all over their body. Patients who have been infected with the pathogen for seven days have been injected with the bacteria in their bodies, and their brains have begun to gradually regain consciousness. The missing cells in the body are filled in by these bacteria. In one day, all the cells infected by the black tuberculosis virus in the body are replaced.
The success of the experiment caused the mayor to have a feast with the company staff on the second day, but some of the company's technicians continued to monitor the test subjects, and one of the people who initially recovered in the early morning of the third day, his physical condition deteriorated sharply, and a considerable degree of deterioration occurred.
The bacteria that were active in the subject's body completely characterized the previously engulfed tabis virus, causing the patient to instantly decay and die. Shorten the entire infection to death process to less than five minutes.
The people at the company seem to know this, or rather, their essential goal is this.
Behind the scenes of the company are the top military officials, and what is currently being done is an experiment with a biological weapon, once it is achieved by cultivating the bacteria that carries the black tuberculosis virus. On the battlefield, the enemy army will be killed in a very short time.
The mayor and most of the people only see the medical effect, and they can't see through the darkness behind the scenes.
However, Zhang Chen still had some doubts in his heart, because the whole medical process was too smooth, and the virus caused by this was immediately overcome by such a new technology.
When Zhang Chen wanted to know about the physical condition of the five people who had been treated as experimental subjects before, he found that he could not inquire about it with his rights.
Discovering the strangeness of the matter, Zhang Chen began to try to understand the behind-the-scenes problems before the technology was used for conventional treatment, and he was knocked out of the head by someone one night when he tried to obtain company secrets through covert means.
When Zhang Chen woke up the next day, he was already in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Every medical staff who came in was wearing a full set of protective clothing and informed Zhang Chen that he had been infected with the tuberculosis virus, and because of the special and important identity of Zhang Chen, he was placed in the town hospital for management.
Zhang Chen is under the supervision of the hospital 24 hours a day and is not allowed to leave the ward for half a step, and Zhang Chen's explanation of the major problems of the technology company, and even the repeated letters to the mayor asking the other party to find out the cause, are all absurd ideas that arise from the infection of black tuberculosis.
However, during this period, a woman named 'Anna' appeared in Zhang Chen's field of vision.
When Zhang Chen first saw the other party walk into the ward, he looked terrified, because this woman was the deceased who had been dismembered in a strange case that Zhang Chen had handled when he first joined the company ten years ago.
(Jumping a little back to ten years before the memory of Zhang Chen's first life, explaining the case of 'Anna')
Zhang Chen, who became a secretary, was initially transferred from the police station because of his excellent performance and bachelor's degree, and on the first day Zhang Chen was appointed secretary, a case of medical personnel disappeared from the central hospital of Yuexi Town. Zhang Chen, who had just been promoted from the police department, had not yet changed his habit of being a police officer, and his sensitive nostrils smelled the unusual nature of the case after reading the entire disappearance investigation report.
The missing person is a foreign doctor who graduated from the provincial capital Metropolitan Medical University last year, and for some unknown reason came to work at the town's central hospital, becoming the chief surgeon within a year because of his high education and superb surgical skills.
He treats people very well, cares about every patient, and is deeply loved by the townspeople.
Zhang Chen had a good premonition at the time, and on the third day of the disappearance, when the staff in charge of the morgue body guard checked the number of the locker, they found that there were body bags in the morgue locker where there should not have been a body, and the interior was filled with fragments of dismembered bodies.
After forensic verification, it was confirmed to be the missing person, Dr. Anna.
Zhang Chen personally began to investigate this matter, because of the presence of the secretary, the police station is also fully operational, to provide Zhang Chen with all kinds of convenience, as well as all the information related to 'Anna'.
Through round-the-clock hospital attendance sheets and checks with each doctor's information, Zhang Chen quickly identified a rather suspicious suspect. It was also the surgeon who worked in the central hospital with Anna, who was nearly fifty years old, an honest man who did not achieve much during his decades of employment.
Zhang Chen's investigation of this person deepened, and finally found that many of the critical patient data stored on the computer in the hospital were abnormal in the record book, and the doctor in charge of these critical patients pointed to the 50-year-old surgeon.
Eventually, Zhang Chen led a team of police to explore the man's residence, and found a hidden basement in the parking room in the backyard, and found a large number of human organs in containers inside, and found a large number of human skins from a large wooden box.
In addition, the surgeon has a penchant for adopting stray dogs, and the police also found a gathering point for stray dogs here, and a series of human flesh residues are still left inside.
After the arrest of this person on the same day, Zhang Chen learned from the follow-up investigation that Anna's death was caused by her serious work and discovery of some data problems with seriously ill patients.
However, due to the conflict between Anna's activity cycle and the time of the prisoner's crime, the prisoner could not escape the surveillance device after killing Anna and bring it home, so he had no choice but to place the dismembered body in the morgue.
This case left a deep impression on Zhang Chen, not because of the deceased's beautiful appearance, but because there were still some problems that Zhang Chen could not explain.
Why did an excellent university international student come to his own remote town to practice medicine, and Zhang Chen also found some clues in the investigation, there is a feeling that 'Anna' took the initiative to send herself into the hands of criminals to be dismembered. (To be continued.) )
