Zhou Lingjie and Liang Zhengzheng both accompanied Xia Qingmeng to do the examination, and there were only three men left in the office, Lin Zhuoran and me, and the boundary, it seemed that the boundary was a little tense, it was Lin Zhuoran, who brought the prenatal examination to the general hospital, or a top expert-level technical major general personally examined Xia Qingmeng, and it was strange that the boundary was not tense.

In order to distract the attention of the border, I deliberately asked Lin Zhuoran: "Xiao Linzi, is this beautiful major general reliable?" Although she is a scientist, she doesn't have to be proficient in everything, right? I think she is an unmarried young woman, is she reliable in her professional skills in obstetrics and gynecology? "I'll just focus on the topic of prenatal examination, don't let the boundary think that this is an experiment with Xia Qingmeng's research.

Lin Zhuoran understood what I meant, and said to the boundary: "It's okay, Qingmeng itself will not have any problems, but Li Enhui wants to establish a database here, in fact, it is to do examinations in other hospitals, and the data will also be transmitted to her, but it will be more comprehensive to have her personally do the examination." However, very few newborns are born after the disaster, and if it is only for external reasons, it is not true, because I am afraid that the virus will affect the fertility of survivors. ”

Neither Lin Zhuoran nor Lee Eun Hui are doctors, especially obstetricians, but they both study viruses, Lin Zhuoran studies viruses for teaching, and Lee Eun Hui studies viruses for the military. But I can't say that the virus has nothing to do with human pregnancy and childbirth, I don't know very well, but even before the disaster broke out, it seemed that even viral influenza would affect pregnant women, not to mention that the virus is not a cold virus now, it can directly mutate people. So Lin Zhuoran said this, I was also nervous, although I don't want children at this time, I don't think it's really safe enough to return to normal life now, once it comes to the time when you need to escape, whether it's with a pregnant woman or with a child, it is a high risk.

But I don't want to be one thing, and if I can't, it's another thing.

I looked at Lin Zhuoran, his expression was a little serious, so I had to ask him a little worriedly: "Lin Zi, what do you want to say?" ”

"It's just a worry." "What I'm worried about is that if the virus affects human reproduction, the birth rate of newborns is too different from the mortality rate of the total population, which is also a very dangerous thing," Lin said. ”

"For example?" I'm a diligent learner and a question, and this question makes me feel a little frightened.

Lin Zhuoran silently calculated and said: "For example, there are no newborns born in the fortress so far, of course, it has only been about 8 months since the disaster broke out, and this data does not necessarily mean anything." There are now about 2 million people inside the fortress, and the increase in population is mainly due to the concentration of survivors from other places, and these survivors are all adults, at least teenagers with the ability to protect themselves, and these are no problem. But the problem is that in the future, the population of the fortress must increase by counting newborns. But there are now too few pregnant women recorded, far below the normal birth rate, which will shrink at the current rate. ”

"And then?" I vaguely feel that this is not good, but my mind is a little scattered right now, and I don't want to think about it. Besides, this seems like a distant question, right?

Lin Zhuoran said: "A too low birth rate will lead to a decline in the population, and in a normal society, we will encounter a very serious aging population, the contradiction between labor supply and demand, etc., but compared with the mortality rate caused by this disaster, even if it is relatively stable now, the threat of human beings being attacked by zombies has not been lifted." On the one hand, there is an ultra-high mortality rate, and on the other hand, the birth rate is too low, and if it continues to develop like this, even if humans are not eaten by zombies, they will become extinct. ”

"Understood." I nodded and said, "But even if no newborn is born, it will be a few decades for us to die a natural death, well, those troublesome things will be left to you, anyway, there are still decades, I don't know if we can live that long." "I know I shouldn't think about it in this way, but it seems to me that this question is still far away, because it is difficult to say whether these people who are left after the disaster will survive for decades, if not else, the disaster will not be over at all.

Nowadays, there is no guarantee that adults will survive, let alone newborns.

I can't say that Lin Zhuoran is unfounded, because this hidden danger does exist, but I am more concerned about the present.

We didn't talk about these topics anymore, and after a while, Xia Qingmeng's examination was completed, and Li Enhui told us that Qingmeng's condition in all aspects was very good, and we only needed to come for regular inspections in the future. If Li Enhui is here, she will personally examine Qingmeng, if she is not there, she has already arranged for an expert doctor here in the general hospital to examine Qingmeng, and there will be special arrangements for nutritional problems, it is good to have a relationship.

Chinese society is a relational society, which was and is still a relational society.

Because Qingmeng's condition is very good, everyone is also very happy, and we are ready to leave after chatting a few words, at this time Liang Zhengzheng still wanted to talk a few times and finally pulled Li Enhui to ask a question, I thought she wanted to ask about having a child, in fact, I thought too much, she asked: "Sister Enhui, I don't know if this is a secret, but I still want to know, when I was in Xingqing City, how happened to the middle school student who was with us?" His name is Ling Yuan, and he is our youngest brother. ”

At that time, we were almost finished, and even though Lee Eun-hui's special forces had arrived at the airport and had already exchanged fire with Zong Ti's homeland guards, we would not have been able to hold Lee Eun-hui in front of us. At that time, Zhao Yingluo regained her true character as a killer, and she hid and prepared to assassinate Zong Ti. She almost succeeded, but if it hadn't been for Ling Yuan's assistance at the time, she might have died. And Ling Yuan at that time had already mutated.

Liang Zhengzheng looked a little sad, compared to Lin Lu, she was just more calm, they were all the same kind. And it's not just Liang Zhengzheng, I also feel a little sad when I think of Ling Yuan's bastard boy, and then look at Lin Zhuoran and Zhou Lingjie, everyone's emotions are similar. That's our family, and it's the youngest.

Li Enhui looked at us, seemed to ponder the words, and said, "The infection mutation is certain." However, his situation is very special, until now, he also retains a certain consciousness, although he cannot communicate, but he can have some response. Now in isolation in the institute, we use a special nutrient solution to meet his energy needs. ”

I imagined it for a moment, as if I saw Ling Yuan being locked in a sealed culture tank, his body had undergone many changes, maybe it had become a little large, but he was not very aggressive, and he could still have some interaction with the scientific researchers who observed the data...... Of course that's what I imagined, and I don't know what he's doing now.

Zhou Lingjie couldn't help but ask: "Can it still be treated?" Since he still retains consciousness, maybe the degree of virus infection is different from that of ordinary zombies, right? ”

Li Enhui said solemnly: "If you just talk about the degree of infection, the degree of his infection is actually deeper than that of ordinary infected people, that is, the zombies you are talking about, his body has many mutations, just the fact that he retains consciousness does not mean that he has a better chance of being cured than ordinary zombies, or even the opposite." Because his genes have fused with the virus, all I can say is that I will do my best to help him, but I don't know what will become of him. ”

I took a deep breath, looked at this technical major general who didn't have a shelf, like I had known for a long time, and said, "Can I make a request?" ”

Li Enhui looked at me, she knew what I was going to say, she didn't speak, and I also knew that my request was very inappropriate for her position, but I still said: "General, I don't like to call you that, but this matter, I hope you can understand, I want to say, if Ling Yuan can't be cured, or if his body mutation can't be recovered, please give him a ride out of humanitarianism." I am also a soldier now, and I stand in the position of a soldier, and I know that if it is beneficial to the research of the military, even if it turns him into a monster, I should support him to the letter, but before I was a soldier, I was just an ordinary person, so I hope that the general will consider him from the perspective of an ordinary person, and not treat him as a pure experiment and tool. ”

Li Enhui looked at me quietly, she shook her head, but after a while, she said, "I will try my best to think about this suggestion, but I want to say, what if he himself has a strong desire to survive?" Even if he changes shape, he himself is still willing to survive? You know, life is an instinct. ”

I don't know if that's going to happen, but if I turn into a monster, am I really going to die willingly? This question made us feel too heavy, Li Enhui said that she would do her best, which was already the greatest courtesy to me, I let out a long breath and said, "There is another question, that is, what happened to Zong Ti later?" If he was injured by Ling Yuan, would he also mutate? Actually, I'm more worried about whether they will retaliate against us people. ”

Li Di always believed that at that time, we changed the original route back to our hometown, helped Li Suo deliver the virus samples to the airport, and finally ensured that the samples reached the hands of the military at all costs, just to fulfill the obligations of a soldier. I'm not that pure, so I'm more of a concern than my sister, how much energy does Homestead Pharma have? If it hadn't been for the fight we had fought with the Homeland Guard, Lee would have snatched back the virus samples before he arrived. Since the military had not openly snatched the samples from the Jiayuan Pharmaceutical laboratory before that, they would probably not have snatched them openly in the future. So if we hadn't been in the way, it would have ended in a different way.

I think if I were Zongti, I wouldn't be able to tear my face with the military on the surface, but I wouldn't let go of a group of little people who ruined my plan.

After all, the revitalization of the fortress area used to be the high-tech development zone of Guangyin City, and many industries of the Home Group are here, especially a large pharmaceutical park.

"You're thinking too much." Li Enhui said: "You are the soldiers of the country, they are just civilian commercial scientific research institutions, although according to the special law, the homeland pharmaceutical can have an armed security force to maintain normal operations, but in a military fortress a militia armed attack regular soldiers, what is the nature of this?" ”

I said distressedly, "The bright ones can't work, what if the dark ones come to work?" ”

Li Enhui smiled and said, "You are doing right, sitting up straight, where is there still a soldier's courage to be afraid of this?" Don't forget, you are now a regular soldier, and the rank of lieutenant colonel on your shoulder you think is an ornament? Be confident. Also, if you are not at ease no matter how you say it, then I can at least tell you that this person is not in the revitalization fortress now, including the research center of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical, which is not in the revitalization fortress. ”
