Chapter 81: Investigation Suspended

"The organization was banned, key members were expelled, and it disappeared from view. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mithelel showed a slightly helpless expression: "Most of them have connections with the upper echelons, and even the emperor himself is not clean, so no one has been liquidated." Unfortunately, it was us doctors, and I can understand that the public is against live experiments, but why should we be implicated in dissecting the dead for human research? Many of my mentors were criticized and persecuted by the angry masses -- they were beaten with sticks when they walked on the road at night, and their houses were burned down...... The nimble brain also ran out of the country in a hurry. ”

"This broken association should be dissolved, although equality for all is an empty phrase. But if they really studied the method of immortality, it would not even be an empty word. The powerful can live for a thousand years, but ordinary people can't live for a hundred, and the class solidification will continue in a more terrifying and unshakable form, and the people at the bottom will never turn over......" Morfan smiled and squeezed his eyes at Rod. "But it's a shame that the doctor was implicated. ”

"The problem is that such an organization already exists, and it is impossible to dissolve it completely. The aggrieved look on Mithelel's face faded, and he said with a straight face: "The reason is very simple, there are too many capable people in the Evolution Association - the top biologists, the most powerful alchemists, and the archmages with profound magical powers...... These cross-industry elites have come together to get to know each other because of this opportunity, which is a huge force in itself. Even without official funding, they have the ability to find sponsorship, organize events, and conduct research on their own. What's more, who can guarantee that the emperor will announce the dissolution, and those nobles and big chaebols will really not associate with the people of the association, as long as public opinion is controlled, it is not easy to keep the commoners in the dark. ”

"The Living Dead were made by members of the Proto-Evolutionary Society?" Rhodes was completely captivated by the doctor's story, "but what good did they do in doing that." ”

"Of course it's no good, the fools say that the Necromantic Guild eats human flesh and drinks human blood, tosses the dead and manipulates zombies, that's obviously nonsense. What these top-level elites want is human evolution, they want immortality, and they don't want to create chaos and destroy the world, what's the use of engaging in these horror tricks?" The doctor took a breath and slowly said his conjecture: "I think this may be an experimental accident of the Evolution Society. Think about it, apart from the release of the potential of the body, what is the difference between the living dead and ordinary people?"

"Brainless, like a beast. ”

"Yes, I think that's the consequence of the fact that the experiment wasn't quite successful, and I guess the effect of the germ design should be thisβ€”the infected person loses signs of life for a short time, then recovers a few hours later, and the body is reactivated and forms a symbiotic relationship with the germs, adapting to each other and getting along with each other, and the whole person becomes a super human who is agile, powerful, and not afraid of injury. Unfortunately, there is one organ that is not functioning properly - the brain. The doctor spoke eloquently and said what he thought: "The brain is so delicate that the lack of oxygen in the few hours of 'death' has caused it to be irreversibly damaged." If the makers of the disease can repair this defect and revive the living dead to retain their minds and memories, but also be infected and strengthened to unlock their potential limitations, and possess great resilience and strength, wouldn't that be a pure means of strengthening humanity? Isn't this evolution?"

"Is that man still human? The female swordsman frowned.

"Then what do you think people should look like?" the doctor asked Sylna rhetorically, and seeing that she had nothing to say, he gave up aggressively and changed his words: "Of course, it is not advisable to put the hat on the head of the 'Necromantic Guild' or the Evolution Guild just based on analysis, and it makes sense to assume that this is an experiment by the military of the Anteli Kingdom to create super soldiers." Whatever the possibility, the people behind the scenes are not something we can fight against, so let's not discuss them. Let's be realistic and think about how to treat it. I have some eyebrows, and the substances extracted from some molds can kill the germs that cause the living dead, and as long as they can kill the germs while protecting the human body, they should be able to treat the infected. ”

"There is no way to save people who have become the living dead. Ciri asked.

"Of course not, the brains of people who have been transformed are dead, I am a doctor, not a god. ”

"Carry the bitten man from Baka Village, it is best to cure it, and it is his life to save it. Grom, who had been silent, spoke, the doctor's guess was too alarming for him to let Rhodes be drawn into this dangerous vortex, "Tomorrow we will set off with the caravan as planned, and we will not investigate any further." ”

"Don't investigate?" Rhodes looked at the Great Swordsman with some reluctance, Gromner was silent, not babbling like Dieter, but in some ways the same as his mother - what he said, there was no room for bargaining, and if there was a dispute, maybe he would really take himself home by force. Thinking of this, he was immediately deflated and turned his head to look at Ciri: "What do you think?"

"Hmm......" The girl pondered for a moment and made the same decision. She is full of blood and jealousy, but she is not a fool, in the face of a behemoth who is likely to have the ability to cause diseases, she does not want to drag a boy younger than herself who has saved herself to die together: "Then, let's go back and carry the bitten man over and see if we can save it." ”

***

After much effort, he finally persuaded the steward of Baka village to call a few young men to drag the bitten man to the clinic in Mithelel in a donkey cart and carry him into the house.

"Go into the inner room. The doctor instructed the stretcher-bearers through the antechamber, which was filled with corpses and specimens, and into the treatment room behind the wall. There were no severed limbs or blood, just a few beds, an operating table in the middle, and a large number of tools and medicines on the table...... And a couple of young assistants they hadn't seen just now.

"Why didn't you let us into this room in the first place?" asked Sylna, slightly dissatisfied, the morgue-like place outside was uncomfortable.

"I put the corpse in the room outside, and I don't give it a place to sit, just to drive people away. If not, people who don't have a cold or flu come to me, and people who really need treatment are not taken care of, and I have encountered this situation many times. The doctor shrugged, but his hands and feet moved quickly: "I will let him into this room only for the guests I welcome and the real patients...... Treatment started immediately, and complications such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing appeared, and there may be internal bleeding, so it could not be delayed any longer. Lennon, go and get the final experiment!"

Qingzhuang, who had carried the patient, put down the patient and left the room quickly, and several assistants of the doctor were also in a hurry, tying the patient to the operating table under the command.

"Doctor, can you cure it?" asked the patient's wife, with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry ma'am, please don't hold on to me, I don't guarantee it. "This is the second clinical trial, and the last person who was willing to be treated was killed by the original drug along with the disease in the body, and I made some changes, but I still didn't dare to promise 100% safety...... If the treatment fails, I am willing to pay compensation. ”

The woman wanted to say something, but was stopped by a white-robed assistant: "Madam, you can't help, it is recommended to wait on the side." ”
