Chapter 102: Fighting the Terminal Disease with Poison
None of us got out of the car to deal with the curious zombies, there was a monitoring device on the big iron gate, we had already seen it in the institute, the big iron gate opened automatically with a bang, and slowly spread to the sides, so that we could drive the car in.
When the gate was closed again, Thunderstorm had the intention to get out of the car and clean up the zombie, but Rohan stopped him, "Don't bother, let's go in." ”
We entered the building before we began to take off our protective clothing, Onkyo was already waiting on the first floor, and her eyes lit up when she saw Shuai Shuai, "What a cute little fat baby, so cute, look at him with a serious face, haha, why don't you laugh?" Come on, laugh at it......"
I think Onkyo is more cute at this time, her attention is completely on Shuai Shuai, this is definitely a woman who likes children, and she shouldn't have any children of her own, well, that's my intuition.
"My mother-in-law's condition ......" Although I couldn't bear to interrupt Anqiao's teasing of Shuaishuai, I was so anxious to know the situation of the child's grandmother.
"Oh, Sister Duo, come upstairs with me, the old man will wait for further treatment. If you don't come, the handsome dad will want to go back. Onkyo took us to the elevator and reached out to pinch the handsome fat face.
"Further treatment? What's going on? "I heard it in a fog.
"That's right, our oncologist has thoroughly examined the elderly, and traditional treatment is no longer useful, but fortunately, we have a research subject in recent years, which is to use the modifying properties of the zombie virus to treat terminal diseases, which is called fighting poison with poison." Onkyo explained to me.
"What...... What the? You're going to inject zombie virus into my mother-in-law? "I was really scared by her.
"It's a modified zombie virus, and it's also a weakened virus, and it won't make the old man a zombie." Onkyo said.
"But......" I didn't wait, and the elevator stopped silently to the twenty-third floor.
"This floor is a ward, come with me." Onkyo got out of the elevator and turned right, and we hurriedly followed.
She led us to a very quiet room, "The old man and the handsome father are inside, whether to do further treatment for the old man, you have to discuss and make a decision as soon as possible, the old man's time is running out." ”
After that, Onkyo left, and she didn't plan to accompany us in.
Gently pushed the door of the ward open, Shuai Shuai squeaked in, and pounced on Canaan who was sitting on the edge of the bed, he was closest to his father, and the first one to be affectionate and affectionate must be Canaan.
"Son!" Canaan exclaimed in surprise, and then turned to see us, "Why are you here?" Duoduo, I still want to go back to you. ”
I walked to the side of the bed first and touched my mother-in-law's hair, "Mom, how do you feel?" ”
The mother-in-law smiled, "I'm fine, they gave me painkiller injections, but it's good." ”
I resisted the sourness that welled up in my eyes, painkillers, the terrible thing about cancer is that it will torment you with terrible pain in the advanced stage, and it also announces that life is coming to an end.
"Mom, they told me there is a way to cure your disease, high-tech, don't be afraid." I comforted my mother-in-law, who was still smiling kindly, and the old lady, who was already thin, seemed to have lost weight again......
"My grandson came, and my illness was more than half cured. Come here, let grandma hug her, are you good? Did you eat well? "My mother-in-law's gaze passed over me and rested on the handsome man who was still in Canaan's arms, her eyes full of longing.
Shuai Shuai threw himself at the head of his mother-in-law's bed, "Grandma, I ate a big bowl of noodles in the morning, it was cooked by my grandfather, I ate them all, and I also ate a boiled egg." ”
"My grandson is so good, hehehe......" The mother-in-law laughed comfortably, the old and the young, hugged each other, and chatted very forgetfully.
I glanced at Canaan, and he stood up and walked with me to the hallway, and before I went out, I poked Thunderstorm's arm, "I'll go out with your brother-in-law to discuss things, and you will talk to my mother in a while." ”
Thunderstorm, Rohan and Medlow nodded at the same time, signaling us to go out with confidence.
There were rows of seats in the hallway, few people sat down in the hallway, everyone was in the hospital room with their respective families, and the environment in which I talked to Canaan was quiet.
"Onkyo told me in the elevator that traditional medicine was useless for my mother, and that she was going to be injected with a modified zombie virus, which, that sounded terrible......" I hugged my husband's arm and rested my head on his shoulder.
Canaan put his arm around my shoulder, "That's why I want to go back to the town to discuss with you, and I don't know the bottom of my heart." Although both Dr. Lee and Dr. An explained to me in detail the innovative significance of this treatment, alas, ......"
"Husband, do they want to use our mother as a test subject?" I sat up suddenly.
"Actually, they already had clinical experience with this kind of therapy a year ago, when it was an old gentleman who entered the advanced stage of stomach cancer, volunteered to use this therapy, his own words, a dead horse as a live horse doctor, unexpectedly, it was successful, this old gentleman is still alive and well. I've already met him. Canaan's words reassured me a little.
"Is everything okay with him? There are no zombie characteristics, or some sequelae or something? I asked my husband with a raised face.
Canaan smiled bitterly, "If everything was normal, I wouldn't be so entangled and afraid to make up my mind, the old man's cancer cells were devoured by the zombie virus, and he didn't mutate into a zombie, but he could only live in the laboratory and couldn't enter the crowd like a normal person, because, because he sometimes loses his mind and suddenly pounces and bites, and the person he bites will mutate into a zombie who has completely lost his mind." ”
"Isn't that just turning into a zombie?" I was shocked.
"No, no, he is usually awake, and he lives on human food, his body functions are fundamentally different from zombies, if he doesn't eat, he will starve to death, but zombies won't, and again, he eats human food, not human flesh, nor pure meat. This institute has long since made a summary. "Canaan hold me.
"And when will he lose his mind? Did he bite as a mere attack, or did he do it to eat? ”
"He rarely loses his mind, and there is no pattern to be found, as for the purpose of his bite, Dr. Li said, it is out of an instinct to spread the virus, not to eat, but this seems to be the same as the purpose of the zombies to pounce on people......
"If Grandma turns into a half-human, half-zombie that bites from time to time, then how can she live with us again? Wouldn't she also live in a laboratory and become an object of observation and research from now on? "I panicked, if I were replaced, would I be willing to continue to "live" like this?
But Canaan said with difficulty, "Duo'er, I hope you can understand me, I don't care how my mother lives, I, I just want her to live, to be able to see her, to be able to touch her, and she, too, can see us, feel us." Even if she sometimes becomes unfamiliar......"
I covered Canaan's mouth, "Husband, do you think I won't understand?" Although she occasionally loses her mind, she is not awake most of the time, and as now, I, I, I am in favor of having my mother implanted with the virus. ”
Canaan hugged me and cried like a helpless child, I gently patted him on the back and quietly wiped away the tears that kept rolling down, this decision was too painful.
When Canaan finally calmed down, I told him about the events in the town's diary.
"Husband, do you think Medlow did the right thing?"
"It's right and it's not right."
"What's the explanation?"
"As mayor of the town, he didn't do enough calm and thoughtful, and as a father, he didn't do enough." Canaan said, "Do'er, do you remember the incident before the end of the world, when a teenage girl punched and kicked a one-year-old child and threw her from more than 20 floors? ”
I nodded, of course I remember, I cried when I saw that short video, and I substituted the poor little baby who was kicked and rolled in the elevator into my handsome, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
"At that time, there was a great controversy about the way this little girl was handled, from a legal or intellectual point of view, the little girl was too young, sensible, lacked family education, and was not yet old enough to bear punishment, but if she abused and hurt Shuai Shuai, I would throw her off the 20th floor, and then accept the punishment of the law."
I was shocked, I rarely saw Canaan so ruthless, he looked at me, "Because I am the father of my child, whoever hurts my child, no matter what the reason, I will make her pay, even if it is for myself." So, Medlo's approach, from a father's point of view, was benevolent enough. ”
"As for Nie Xiaohui, she died well, it is a pain for her to be alive, and it is a relief to die."
"The townsfolk speak of injustice......"
"Medlow is the mayor of the town, but he's not God. No human being can be completely and justly, and I think Mayor Mei is already amazing. ”
As he spoke, Medlow came out of the room and said to the two of us, "Sorry for interrupting your conversation." I want to see Lao Qin's lover and child, the first time I came, I don't know how to go. ”
Lao Qin is the man who jumped off the building, after the incident, his lover and children took the initiative to apply to move to the Institute of Virology together, and it was not Medlow who forced them to come.
"Canaan, have you seen any of the new townspeople in the house these days?" Medlow asked Canaan.
Canaan shook his head, "I've only been active in this ward area, but I've heard that a new group of townspeople have moved in, and it seems that they are all located on the fifteenth floor. ”
"I'll go with you." I stood up and walked over to Medlo, a place I knew well.
"I'll go in with my mother." Canaan shook my arm and went inside.
Before coming to the elevator, it was surprising that the elevator was operating normally, unlike the first time we came, the elevator was always closed.
"Fifteenth floor, they should all live there." Medlow stood in the elevator, rubbing his hands uneasily.
