Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Garland Virus
When later historians analyze the history of the Star Alliance, they will always regard the year 203 of the ephemeris as the key year for the Star Alliance to turn from prosperity to decline.
In this year, the largest and most lethal epidemic in human history broke out.
People infected with this disease develop a garland-like virus named garland virus. The garland virus multiplies extremely quickly in the human body, it not only quickly absorbs water from human cells and causes them to die, resulting in a rapid decrease in the total number of cells, but also accelerates the formation of free radicals in the human body. People infected with the garland virus live for about ten years in a normal person, and most of the infected people die within half a month, which is also in line with the average life standard at that time.
It can be said that if anyone is targeted by the garland, the flower of life will wither forever.
Ren Jiangling is already in the second semester of the fourth year at this time, and he has been admitted to the clinical medicine major of the Medical College of the Advanced Health Institute in advance, and his future mentor, the most powerful expert in the clinical medicine major of the medical school, and the vice president of the medical school, Mr. Yu Shulei, has taken him with him in advance.
I have to say that all women, no matter how old they are, no matter how high their status, have some face control, and the highly respected Mr. Yu is no exception, and he can even be called a leader.
When he met Ren Jiangling for the first time, Mr. Yu admitted that he was first attracted by Ren Jiangling's appearance when he checked the student information.
Probably the process is, Mr. Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he flipped through the information: Wow! This student is so good-looking! Impression score +90 points; Follow up and take a look, hey? The grades are also good, and then +5 points; Hey, he also made a small garden by himself to earn pocket money? Yes, yes, there will be people who will honor flowers in the future, and then +5 points! Alas, anyway, whoever you bring is bring, why not bring one that is pleasing to your eyes and happy to look at? Anyway, if you can be admitted to the Senior Health Institute and don't have the surname Cui, who can be worse than whom? Well, this year is him, full score admission!
Well, this is the whole process of Ren Jiangling being admitted to the famous Mr. Yu Shulei......
People are old and willful!
Although Ren Jiangling has not officially followed Mr. Yu to class, Mr. Yu often sends him some latest research results when Ren Jiangling is fishing in the neon manor, and if he encounters any interesting anatomical specimens or valuable scientific research results, he will call Ren Jiangling back to school to participate in it.
Every time Ren Jiangling goes back, he will bring Mr. Yu a pot of flowers that he planted himself.
Ren Jiangling was standing in the special laboratory temporarily built by the medical school at this time, and the female corpse lying in the middle of the laboratory in three layers of transparent insulation material was only eighteen years old this year, but she looked like she had goosebumps and was more than a hundred years old.
In addition to Mr. Yu, there are several of her favorite students in the lab. Although the female corpse was completely isolated in the utensils at this time, Mr. Yu and the students were still wearing full protective clothing, because it was not yet fully understood how many other ways the garland virus could be transmitted.
After the students took turns to observe the corpses, Mr. Yu led the students through the long disinfection tunnel, and after layers of disinfection, finally came to her own private small conference room.
After everyone sat down, Mr. Yu said with a tired expression: "You have all seen the situation just now, right? You people are all here of your own free will, and you should not be asked to participate in such a dangerous matter right now, but according to my observation, this epidemic is likely to be a catastrophe in the history of our human civilization, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for each of us to be immune to it. Since you can't escape sooner or later, instead of blindly protecting, it is better to let you participate as soon as possible and do a good job of corresponding protection. ”
Everyone thought about the battle that kept the female corpse in the laboratory just now, and everyone's faces were very solemn.
A beautiful senior sister who had been with Mr. Yu for the longest time, with a worried face, was the first to ask: "Sir, what is going on with this acute debilitation, can you tell us about it in detail?"
The deathbed appearance of the eighteen-year-old woman just now made the beautiful senior sister feel frightened. It's not that she can't accept death, it's that she can't accept dying in that form.
Mr. Yu looked at these beautiful children under his door, and finally set his eyes on the most beautiful Ren Jiangling, and his heart was filled with sadness.
Mr. Yu is 110 years old this year, and in her more than 90 years of medical research, she has never seen such an evil virus, and she does not know how many of these beautiful children under her command will survive this catastrophe.
Thinking of this, Mr. Yu said with a serious expression: "The acute debilitation, it can be basically concluded that it is caused by the garland virus I just told you. Acute aging can be said to have only one symptom, which is rapid aging. This rate of aging is terrifying, once infected, it will age at a rate of about one day and ten years, and all infected people are known to die within fifteen days due to the aging of their bodies. The whole process of aging is completely in line with the normal physiological degeneration process of human beings, and there is no shortage of all the parts of the body's tissues, cells, and constituent substances, the slowdown of the body's metabolic rate, and the decline of the function of the body and organs, as if the human life span was only a short period of more than ten days. ”
"The whole process is not like the sudden termination of life, but more like someone pressed the fast-forward button, and in more than ten days, I finished my life in a hurry. ”
Mr. Yu finally concluded.
The atmosphere in the small conference room became more and more solemn, although everyone's faces were somewhat nervous or afraid of the unknown, no one lost their temper, and the eyes of these students revealed more worries and thoughts about the epidemic.
Mr. Yu looked at it and nodded secretly, worthy of being her student, both beautiful and rigid!
A senior asked, "Sir, I see what you mean, this disease should be very contagious, right?"
Mr. Yu nodded and said, "It is extremely strong, and it is the virus with the highest number of basic infections so far, which can be transmitted through air, contact, arthropods, water, etc. Several asteroid outbreaks have taken place, and the source of infection is unknown. Without exception, the locations of the outbreak are all high-density areas. According to the information transmitted back from the epidemic area, there is no so-called susceptible group in this epidemic, and the local residents, regardless of gender, old and young, whether they have other medical history, almost suddenly infected with the disease at the same time, it is impossible to tell who is patient 0. Well, so far, no effective treatment for the disease has been found, and once it occurs, the mortality rate is 100%. That's probably it, you see if there's anything else you want to know, as long as I can tell you, I won't hide it. ”
A senior sister raised her hand, and under Mr. Yu's signal, she asked with a tense face: "Sir, how long has it been since the acute geriatric disease was discovered?
Mr. Yu said with a sad face: "It has only been twenty days since it was discovered, and at present, in addition to the mother planet, there are eleven planets that have found epidemics, and seven of these eleven planets are sub-parent planets, including our Qinghe Departure Star." So far, the death toll has ......"
Speaking of this, Mr. Yu's face showed a little pain, and he said in a difficult tone: "The death toll has exceeded 50 million, and this is far from the peak. ”
