The screen in the monitoring room focuses on the isolation room, and the doctors in chemical protective suits operate the high-tech operating table, although the full-coverage mask obscures their faces, but after each highly accurate operation, the subtle movements captured by the camera make everyone in the monitoring room aware of their nervousness. ∈ ♀ patient with doomsday syndrome was lying on a hospital bed, part of his body was charred, part of it was half-melted waxy, and although his body and internal organs were damaged, he was still alive, a powerful life force that came out of nowhere, and the preserved internal organs worked rapidly, and this state had lasted for twenty minutes.

Dr. Nguyen Le withdrew his gaze from the screen and turned to the number jù of the testing instrument, where the constantly beating numbers and spectra were printed out graphically after preliminary processing by the computer. Some of her research colleagues are sifting through what they need, but despite the abundance of information, it doesn't seem to be enough to meet their needs. Some of these numbers are not helpful for their research, some are repetitive, and some are simply undecipherable, and it has been proven that it takes luck to find out the part of the number jù that is sufficient to match their own research.

However, no matter what field of research you are, once you try to get into the realm that no one has done before, it will also take luck to achieve results. Famous researchers in history have repeatedly proved this with their own experiences. However, in the study of the "virus", whether it is the hospital selection team led by Dr. Ender or the support of the spy organization, in the shadows of the hospital, the other research team is also lacking in luck.

Dealing with this hidden organization that doesn't know what the body is.,Dealing with the hidden organization lurking in the hospital.,At the beginning.。 Dr. Ruan Li couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, but the incident proved that the other party was able to survive in the hospital for a certain reason. The hospital may not be unaware of the existence of this organization, but it wants to encircle and eradicate it completely. But it never did. It is precisely because this is the result of the involvement, negotiation and game of many forces. The hospital embodies the sincere cooperation of many forces, and the seemingly spy infiltrator organization may represent the intrigue and selfishness of various forces.

Although all activities can only be carried out in the shadows, and the actual resources that can be used are less than the maximum amount that the hospital can theoretically mobilize, the lurkers will not completely lose support. And then completely lost the power to entangle with the hospital. The hospital used the color system to complete the color center, but the lurkers also relied on various means to take away Dorothy and make it a super Dorothy, the abilities, effects and areas of expertise of the two seem to be similar, but the difference is that the research team organized by the lurkers is not in terms of research routes, topics or methods. are all different from the hospital side, and before the final result is in. It is impossible to prove which side is better.

Relatively speaking, just as the Sleeper organization is optimistic about Dr. Nguyen Le and brought it in. Dr. Nguyen Le does feel that being part of this research team is more comfortable than serving Dr. Ender's research team. The biggest problem remains. Although it is not without results, the overall progress of the "virus" research, like that of Dr. Ender, has not achieved key results. Until now. The various branches that have been extended from this study have strong side effects, and it is also difficult to further accomplish these by-products in the current understanding of the "virus".

As a researcher, the current situation is certainly better than when we first recognized the existence of the "virus", but when it comes to concrete progress, it is a bit hazy, making people full of uncertainty about the future.

What's more, the "virus" is so terrible that there is enough evidence to prove that it has long since spread to all parts of the world, and the entire hospital is already in its shroud. The only difference is between "seizures" and "non-seizures". The author of the post is a "doomsday syndrome patient", and the author of the post is able to continue the research of the "virus" as a normal person, in an attempt to find a cure.

Whether such a terrifying conclusion has been made known to more people is not sure for the time being, because even in the "hospital", there are not many people who are aware of this. However, all the researchers selected for the research team, whether on Dr. Ender's side or on the lurker's side, were well aware of the crisis of the situation. Everyone is sitting on the crater, not knowing if it will erupt in the next moment, leaving everyone dead without a place to bury, and this sense of crisis is also the reason for the tacit understanding of the behavior of both sides.

All the defenses of the hospital can only bring psychological comfort, but in fact they are ineffective. And the study of "viruses" is no longer purely driven by profits. Dr. Nguyen Li's immersive observation has made it very clear that everyone understands that if you can make a "serum", you can save yourself and the world, and if you fail, the history of mankind may come to an end. Every research hit, every time passed, was enough to make people restless, and the dark clouds have been hanging over every corner of the hospital and have never dispersed.

What exactly is a "virus"? Is it a wonderful thing that nature generates on its own? Or is it some unknown being from the extraterrestrial universe? Or is it the crystallization of uncontrollable factors generated by human beings in the process of extracting and transforming nature? Research scholars have their own opinions, but one thing is very certain, and the facts have also proved that any scientific theories and methods that have been clarified at present cannot really touch the truth, and all that can be expected is those super-new theories that may make breakthroughs in research, in the light of inspiration and luck. This world is realistic, and without the support of theory, we can only verify and eliminate various assumptions one by one through many complex realities. However, after such a long period of practice, all the more mature hypotheses, which seem to have a higher success rate, have been proven to be utopian.

Researchers are brain-drained and inspired, and they are no longer able to conjure up more ingenious possibilities for testing, as they did in the past.

It was under such circumstances that Dr. Nguyen Le was selected to join the research team of the Lurkers in order to contribute his own inspiration to the whole research. However, even Dr. Nguyen Lê, who has stored a lot of theories, assumptions, and realities. In the process of realization, he gradually proved all kinds of mistakes that he had thought in the past, and he also felt the bottleneck standing in front of him.

It's like hollowing out your mind, overdrawing your inspiration, and all the possibilities have been traversed. And the rest of the possibilities make people feel hopeless.

Although the researchers are about to reach the limits of their own thinking and cognition, the "virus" seems to be further active, giving everyone the feeling that it is active in the past, but it is just an accidental turn over in a deep sleep. And the further activity of the "virus" has also brought explosive disasters to hospitals, riots of patients with doomsday syndrome, and sudden new symptoms. and the sudden increase in the number of patients in the hospital, all of which are unsettling to those who know a part of the hospital.

Whenever someone you know suddenly becomes ill and becomes another doomsday syndrome patient, of course, it is worrying whether you will become the next one. And to push this situation to the whole world is even more chilling, and there is some intelligence to show it. Hospitals no longer need to go to great lengths to acquire patients. In an isolated island, such information is not good news. Because it is enough to prove that the "virus" is indeed spreading around the world, and its activity is by no means confined to hospitals.

Maybe one day I'll wake up. You will find that people all over the world are sick and broken. The scenes of the past that only existed in science fiction seem to be moving towards reality step by step - no one would expect such a future, because the extinction catastrophe caused by the outbreak of the "virus" is the mass extinction that has already occurred in history. One of the most difficult to get through. This is because this is not the embodiment of the destructive and contradictory nature of human society itself, but an external attack on human society as a whole.

It is true that people kill people and make people feel painful, and any foreign intelligent creatures also feel sad and indignant about the efforts and killings of human beings, but this qiē is far less desperate than the result of "human beings are infected with the virus and become extinct overnight". If you can't create a "serum", you can't solve such a desperate situation, even if this "virus" does not break out in all human beings at the same time, it is like hanging a sword of Damocles. And the researchers who came into contact with this sword of Damocles at the closest distance, but were completely helpless, were gnawed away by terror and despair every day.

Psychologists like Dr. Nguyen Li are not only here to provide directional help for research, but also to relieve the pressure and negative feelings of the researchers themselves. In this hospital, Dr. Ruan Li is not the only expert who specializes in psychology, and Dr. Ruan Li's selection into the research team does not make her think that she is the most special one.

As long as research does not lead to breakthroughs, no matter how brilliant the theory, how frequent the inspiration, how high the status, and how rich the experience, there is no difference between the cleaners here. Because, one's own talent cannot be reflected in reality, and what is the difference between not having talent?

Of course, Dr. Nguyen Li knows that such thoughts are also excessive, and it is a manifestation that his own mentality begins to be unbalanced under the pressure of the "virus", but he cannot stop it. She has already felt that the limit of her own psychological adjustment is also producing a vicious change in her body. From ** to the heart, it is gradually eroded by a kind of terror.

Every night, she has nightmares, and when she wakes up in the morning, she forgets the contents of the nightmares. Every physical examination could not detect anything wrong, but even so, she was very sure that the "virus" also existed in her body and had begun to be active. Maybe one day she will wake up and become a doomsday syndrome patient, and this possibility is also stored in her colleagues.

Even so, all of us need to continue the exhausting research in the midst of such fear, trying to find a silver lining.

All means must be used.

In the past, Dr. Nguyen Le would also feel resentment and guilt for the blood, madness, and inhumanity of the means, but now, she finally understands that humanity has come to the edge of the cliff and can't care about so much. She is not sure what the situation of human society is like outside the islands, on the continent across the ocean, but the crisis should no longer be a secret to the top levels of governments. However, for the sake of social stability, of course, it is impossible to just announce the existence of the "virus", and all the sick people will probably use "cold" and "mental illness" to cover up the past, at least, in terms of pathology, it is indeed very similar.

Dr. Nguyen Le is the same as the other researchers. Involved in a lot of inhumane realizations, however, these radical methods have achieved no better results than conservative methods.

On this day, she was once again tired and worried. Go back to your room. Although she had already gotten off work, she still couldn't help but pick up today's number report again after eating. The researchers tried to find the critical point of change in the delicate state of the patient on the operating table, and then establish the basic reference for future research through these critical values. Such a real yàn has been more than once, because, not the number jù is difficult to obtain. Rather, this is because this value changes as the active state of the "virus" changes, and it must be reconfirmed every once in a while.

However, today's number jù proves once again that the "virus" is present in the patient. Still not at the end. The pathologies it causes have been extremely complex since the past. And now, these complicated numbers seem to prove that the complexity has increased once again. Symptoms and chain reactions, which were not fully studied in the past, are now further uncertain.

Dr. Nguyen Le was very skeptical, before the day when the "virus" really broke out. Is it really possible to study all the problems clearly and find a specific solution to each of them? She threw down the report, pinched the bridge of her nose, and then picked up the picture frame resting on the table, in which the boy named "Takakawa" was smiling cheerfully. However, at this time, Dr. Nguyen Li saw the gloomy gloom in the cheerfulness.

The lights were bright inside, but it made Dr. Nguyen feel that the darkness outside was getting deeper. It's as if there is a group of demons and monsters eyeing each other, trying to oppress this little bit of light.

When there is no hope, it is easier to recall the good old days, and even at that time, those times were also full of pain.

Dr. Nguyen Le sighed and put the frame back on the table. She threw herself on the bed and fell asleep in a hazy way, she seemed to dream of something, her face was a little distorted, a little stern, constantly changing, her body curled up as if trying to escape some kind of horror. Suddenly, the phone rang loudly, and she woke up suddenly.

Dr. Nguyen Le sat up in fright, and it took two or three seconds before he realized that the phone was ringing. She shook her head, leaving behind her another nightmare of forgetting the actual contents, and casually picked up the telephone on the bedside table.

"Hello?" Her voice was low and disgruntled, but not because the letter had disturbed her sleep, but because of the nightmare.

"Dr. Ruan Li, there is an important situation, please come to the conference room immediately." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, it was Dr. Ender.

After the death of Gao Chuan, Dr. Nguyen Li had little direct contact with Dr. Ander, and the research team led by Dr. Ander rejected Dr. Nguyen Le because of his philosophy, line and method, which is very common in group research and a common struggle in the institute. However, in this case, still receiving such a strict call, it made Dr. Ruan Li feel even more bad.

It's not that Dr. Ender has any bad thoughts, or that his involvement in the research of the Infiltrator team will be exposed, but it's a premonition of non-self-interest. Something happened that wasn't so good for everyone in the hospital.

"Yes, I see...... I'll be there right away. Dr. Nguyen Li responded as he changed into his coat and white coat. Dr. Ander did not explain the specific situation on the phone, but it should have a very important relationship with himself, Dr. Ruan Li thought so, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.

When I came to the place where the phone was called, at this point in time, the building, which should have closed for business and turned off the lights a long time ago, was on the side of the conference room, and the lights were prominently lit. When Dr. Nguyen Li arrived, more researchers were also coming, some familiar and some unfamiliar, those who were familiar with each other, and their past resumes and research fields had some things in common, which made Dr. Nguyen Li keenly aware that it seemed that there was a problem with research in a certain direction in the hospital. The others made eye contact with her, whether they knew her or not, and they all showed similar eyes, and seemed a little anxious.

Dr. Ender's team had all arrived in the conference room, and Dr. Ruan Li looked around, and the researchers belonging to the Sleeper Research team were also waiting for explanations under the cover of their secret identities.

This time, Dr. Ender didn't say anything about the research, and just said to the crowd so bluntly and briefly, "Dr. Hawke is dead." ”

The air in the conference room suddenly stagnated, and it was a little suffocating, and it was clear that everyone standing here understood who Dr. Hawke was, what his identity was, and what his death meant.

"You found him?" A man broke the silence and asked.

"Yes." Dr. Ander nodded heavily, "The people here know more or less about Dr. Hawke's condition, and I want to inform you that he died because of an illness. ”

"Doomsday syndrome?" Someone exclaimed, "What about his inhibitors?" ”

"When we found him, he was dead." "However, he left behind a lot of research materials. We need someone to decipher these things. ”

After that, many people's eyes fell on Dr. Nguyen Lê.

"Dr. Nguyen Li, you are his student." Dr. Ender said.

"What's going on at the scene?" Dr. Nguyen Le changed the subject, but no one was surprised. Dr. Ander didn't dwell on it, and said directly to everyone: "I am looking for you this time to confirm his condition. He said this, nodding to the people around him. After a while, security personnel came in from outside the door, bringing boxes containing portable hazmat suits.

"It doesn't necessarily work, but it's best for everyone to wear it." Dr. Ander said this, and the security personnel began to distribute the hazmat suits to the people in the inner room, "We all know what Dr. Hawke is working on, and the reason why we can confirm the circumstances of his death is because he notified the hospital. ”

"You mean, Dr. Hawke already knew he was going to die, so he prepared in advance?" When wearing a chemical protective suit, someone asked.

"Yes, I think so. Although the hospital did not support his research, he certainly achieved some results. As a researcher, I don't think Dr. Hawke is joking. "We all know how bad the situation is. Our disagreements are due to a lack of research resources and philosophical differences. But all of you here...... and Dr. Hawke, indeed, they are all working towards the same goal. From that point of view, if I were to switch places with Dr. Hawke, I would do the same thing, and Dr. Hawke would have understood me. ”

"Don't talk about these old things again." Some researchers said anxiously, "Dr. Hawke has been studying privately for so long, and we have to know what he found and what he did." ”

As these researchers said, Dr. Nguyen Li's state of mind at this time was also full of anxiety and memories. Who Dr. Hawke was, his position in the hospital, and his past were no secret to Dr. Nguyen Lê. Because Dr. Hawke was one of her mentors, and he was also the guide who brought her to the hospital to participate in the study of the virus. A long time ago, when "Takakawa" had just participated in the hospital's research, the nominal attending physician was involved in the original use of "Takakawa" to make serum, and was the main person in charge of Shinyàn at that time. It was precisely because of the repeated failures of the "serum" that it gradually lost its aura and was replaced by Dr. Ender.

Dr. Hawke did not withdraw from the front line of research after retiring from the research team, but his research did not receive the highest priority support. After that, he disappeared from everyone's sight, and even lost his whereabouts, which was a suspicious situation. During this period, there was a lot of speculation, and it did set off some storms, but under the strong hand of Dr. Ender, the conflict caused by Dr. Hawke gradually subsided. Then, after a while, Dr. Hawke seemed to be forgotten, and yet, suddenly, one day, the researcher with whom he had a deeper relationship, and even in cooperation, the researcher who naturally had the advantage of an alliance, and even Dr. Ender, who had been replaced, received his gifts—better inhibitors and various concoctions against "Gao Chuan".
