Chapter 574: Brain-eating amoeba
The sudden change made Chen Tianci realize that the danger was imminent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he looked at the five dead people and sighed slightly. The danger of this mission was known to everyone before they set off.
Death was not a sudden event for them. It's just that no one expected it to come so suddenly.
Chen Tianci turned on the communicator and connected to Fang Lei's communication channel.
"Be careful, don't touch the water here." He said.
"You're late." Fang Lei replied, "The people I brought, all but me died accidentally. ”
Chen Tianci frowned.
"You're in a situation over there, too?" He asked.
"It's not just the case. The problem now is that I don't know how this happened. ”
Chen Tianci understood what Fang Lei was talking about. Isn't he also very surprised and puzzled by this matter now?
A good person, who was still alive a moment ago, became a cold corpse a few minutes later, which would be incomprehensible to anyone.
"Abort the operation first, let's meet at the first meeting point." Chen Tianci said.
At the moment, only he and Fang Lei were still alive in these two groups, so they could only abandon the original plan of action and adopt a backup plan.
An hour later, Chen Tianci and Fang Lei met at the nearest meeting point.
Fang Lei's whole body was wrapped like a big dumpling.
Chen Tianci was surprised.
"What are you doing here? It's so hot here that people are about to evaporate, why are you still wrapped so tightly? Chen Tianci asked.
"I'm not afraid of the heat, but I'm afraid of what is under the cover of the heat." Fang Lei said.
"You know?" Chen Tianci asked.
Fang Lei shook his head.
"You may know, you may not know. I can't be sure right now. He said.
Chen Tianci felt more and more strange.
"To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. What does it mean to know or not? Be clear. He said.
"I guess it's not uncommon for the temperature here to be so hot. Someone deliberately turned up the temperature here. In order for us to take off the protection of the body surface. Fang Lei said.
"You're making it clear. What happened to the removal of body surface protection? ”
"What else could have happened?" Fang Lei glanced at Chen Tianci and looked at Chen Tianci with an idiot look.
"Removing the protection from the body means that our bodies are in direct contact with the outside world, and certain substances that are released into the air will penetrate quietly. What does that mean, you say? He said.
Chen Tianci's heart shook slightly. He kind of understood. But he still didn't know what they were attacking.
"Poison weapons?" Chen Tianci asked.
"I don't know right now. But you didn't, mine and yours died after touching the water. Fang Lei said.
Chen Tianci nodded. That's exactly what happened. After the group he led touched the lake, an accident suddenly occurred.
"What's in the water?" Chen Tianci asked.
"If I'm guessing correctly, maybe it's a bioweapon called a brain-eating amoeba. It only takes that kind of thing to have such a lethal power. Fang Lei said.
Brain-eating amoeba? Chen Tianci was shocked.
He knew about the creature. This is an extremely dangerous creature. The scientific name for this brain-eating amoeba is Neegler fowlii, and it is an amoebic protozoa.
This amoebic protozoa is parasitic in the human body and can cause many outbreaks of diseases in the host. What's even trickier is that this creature can survive in water, soil, and even air.
But even that kind of thing can't kill people in a matter of minutes. There must be something else here.
"What is the size of the source of infection?" Chen Tianci asked.
"I don't know. No one knows until there are detailed measurements. Fang Lei said.
"In that case, could the mutation here be caused by the presence of amoeba protozoa?" Chen Tianci asked.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. But even it shouldn't die so quickly. ”
"We have to get some samples." Chen Tianci said.
When Fang Lei heard this, he immediately rejected Chen Tianci's proposal.
"Are you crazy?" "Once you take this unknown infection out of this quarantine area, you and I don't know what the consequences will be." Once it gets out of control, it's not a matter of how many people die. Did You Know? ”
Chen Tianci also understands the danger of this kind of thing, but he has to get some samples. Without samples to study, he would not have been able to know the specific species of amoebic protozoa that exist here, and therefore would not be able to prescribe the right treatment for these species.
If the anomaly on the southern islands was due to this protozoa, then he should have found out the species of this protozoa.
"No, I don't agree." Fang Lei resolutely opposed.
"You're putting everyone's safety at risk." He said.
"I can die in battle, I can die in this hellish place, but my wife can't. If you take the protozoa out, once it leaks out, then Qianqian's life will be in danger, and I will never allow this to happen. He said.
"But we have to find the source of the disease first, right?" Chen Tianci said.
If the pathogen cannot be identified, it is self-evident what it means. Don't say that ten people died this time, even if there are a thousand, ten thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of people, it will not be able to resist.
It's no wonder that so many mercenaries will be wiped out as soon as they enter here. Such a secret method would be the end of the team annihilation if any team came.
If it weren't for Chen Tianci's special ability to resist the heat here, if it weren't for Fang Lei's strong ability to resist the heat, I am afraid that it would not be two living people standing here now, but two corpses that have already been dried.
"So, we take some samples, we take them to the border, I have people bring the equipment in, and we study it at the border. As soon as we find the source of the disease, then we will immediately destroy the samples on our hands and not take anything out of here. What do you think? Chen Tianci said.
This is a compromise solution. Fang Lei thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Chen Tianci clicked on the real-time map and checked the nearby environment.
"Not far from us, there is a known colony of aliens. Let's both infiltrate and catch a live mouth. He said.
Fang Lei replied, and wrapped the clothes on his body tightly.
"I'm very strange," Chen Tianci looked at Fang Lei and said, "Why can you withstand the heat here?" Could it be that the recipes you have cultivated also have the effect of purifying the mind? ”
Fang Lei shook his head and said, "I've been brutally ordealt in the volcanic belt, and the heat in that place is much more terrifying than this. Relatively speaking, this is just pediatrics. ”
"Looks like you've been through a lot of things."
"I've been through no less than you. So, don't even think about finding out my secrets. Let's settle the matter at hand first. After Fang Lei finished speaking, he walked towards the target area.
Chen Tianci shook his head and smiled, and followed closely.
