117 Suspicious
Although he joined the rescue team late and was not a formal member of the field team, he still participated in the operation to clean up the zombies. He went to the light cycle training no less than three times and learned more about the body structure of the zombies.
Those guys have no blood or body fluids, their internal organs, and muscles are all fibrous, and even their bones are harder than human ones. But although the skin of the arm in front of you also shows the blue-gray color of a zombie, it has flesh and blood. How could it be a zombie!
"Yes, a zombie with flesh and blood and a certain intelligence. The reason why it is a zombie and not a person infected with the disease is because they eat humans! I want to study it carefully to see if I can find the cause of this disease from it.
Or something else. It’s difficult to completely eliminate zombies just by killing them bit by bit. Finding a cure as early as possible is the right way, right?"
Just when the zombie was hit by Randy's two shots, Hong Tao discovered what was special about it, so he took the risk and went back to take pictures, taking away an arm by the way.
Ordinarily, I should bring back all the corpses, especially the head. Unfortunately, I am not a superman. I really can't carry a corpse up and down to avoid being chased by the zombies. I can only abandon it first and go back to see the situation in a few days.
.
"...Sure, I'll do the dissection! Team leader Chu, I need some surgical equipment...and sterilization and isolation equipment. It's best not to do it here. Can you find a more independent place?"
Hu Ran's face turned a little red when he heard that Hong Tao wanted to find the origin of the disease. As a doctor, he should be thinking about this more than ordinary people, but since the catastrophe, he has been focusing on how to survive and has not thought about it at all. Now in person
Someone pointed out that he is an eight-foot-tall man after all, and if he wants to have a face, he can do it even if he pinches his nose!
"Yes, this suggestion is very correct... Let's go, I'll take this with you, you can pack it up and go to the public toilet diagonally opposite."
To be professional is to be professional. Hu Ran reminded Hong Tao in one sentence that although no one lives in the West House, the small courtyard is the big guy’s restaurant after all. It’s too disrespectful to just shut up a zombie and conduct pathological anatomy experiments.
His life is taken seriously. He may not care about it, but now that he is no longer alone, he has to be somewhat considerate of other people's feelings.
"Ah? Go to the public toilet for an autopsy!" Chu Qiu had not expressed any opinions since she called in. She knew that it would be in vain. Once the landlord made up his mind, no one could make sense. But at this time, she really had to speak. Who had heard of it?
Use the public toilet as a laboratory!
"Hey hey hey, that place is independent and close, so it's easy to run wires. Even if it's polluted, it won't affect anything if you set it on fire. Don't think it's dirty and smelly. No one has used it for more than a month. It's actually just a house. I
Go ahead and pull the wire first, hurry up and get ready, don’t say much to other people, I’ll let Jiao San guard it and won’t let anyone get close!”
There were people and a place. Hong Tao didn't want to wait for a moment and started working immediately. In less than an hour, the public toilet laboratory was ready, with lights, medical equipment, high-pressure water cannons and power tools. Just in the afternoon
The chemical protective suits found from the embassy were also used. The three people wore the same clothes as the astronauts and got in one after another.
"Team leader Jiao, what is Lao Hong doing?" This fuss could not fail to attract the attention of others. Liu Quanyou only received a notice not to approach him. If he wanted to know the details, he had to come to Jiao San.
"I wish I knew...Brother Hong said he wanted to do an experiment. It's a bit dangerous and he won't let others get close. Let's not worry about it and wait for the news."
It's a pity that Jiao San really doesn't know and doesn't bother to ask. His relationship with Lin Na has made great progress these days, and he is thinking about how to strike while the iron is hot. He can't think of anything else. And he knows that he can't control it even if he wants to.
Why bother to find and scold yourself?
The lights in the toilet continued to stay on until midnight before going out. Three tired figures came out and sprayed alcohol on each other's chemical protective clothing, then rinsed it with a water gun, sprayed it with disinfectant, rinsed it again, and finally took off their chemical protective clothing.
Go take a bath in the enclosure by the lake.
"Doctor Hu...Doctor Hu!" Hong Tao and Chu Qiu returned to the small hospital after washing. Hu Ran walked to the nearby No. 52 Hospital alone. Just as he was about to lift his legs to enter the door, a figure suddenly stood in front of him.
"Oh, you scared me... Captain Liu, what are you doing?" After seeing clearly that the person coming was Liu Quanyou, Hu Ran put the little heart back into his stomach.
"Isn't this because I want you to stay up late? I asked Team Leader Zhou to make some wontons to make up for it..." Liu Quanyou explained with a smile, indeed holding a steaming bowl in his hand.
"Oh, you're so polite... Why don't you ask Captain Hong and Team Leader Chu to eat together?" Hu Ran quickly took the bowl and thanked her profusely, mentioning Hong Tao and Chu Qiu by the way.
"No, Team Leader Zhou has already sent it to them..." Liu Quanyou smiled more kindly.
"Team Leader Liu, do you want to ask about the results of the test?" Hu Ran has also been working in a large unit for more than ten years, so he doesn't know why Liu Quan is so polite when he sees him.
If I don’t make it clear, let’s just say it myself. I just stood in the public toilet for more than three hours, and my whole body is sore. It’s true that I should go to bed as soon as I finish.
"Hahaha, if Captain Hong has orders, then I won't ask. Don't get me wrong, this bowl of wontons has nothing to do with your experiment. I am in charge of logistics, so of course I have to take care of the lives of frontline comrades!" Liu Quanyou
He didn't confirm or deny it, and he acted in a business-like manner.
"Captain Hong didn't tell me not to talk to you. I guess he will discuss it with you tomorrow morning. Oh, it's stuffed with leeks..." Hu Ranzhen didn't receive the order from Hong Tao to keep it secret, so there was no pressure to talk about it.
But the taste of the wontons surprised him. Those leeks were Hong Tao's treasure. They were planted in several large foam boxes and covered with gauze to avoid being eaten by birds. Yang Ping usually watered and fertilized them.
Be responsible to Yang Ling and no one is allowed to touch her.
"Don't worry, with Captain Hong's permission, there's still a lot of stuffing left. We'll have wontons tomorrow morning too, so everyone can have a share!" Seeing Hu Ran wanting to eat but not daring to eat, Liu Quanyou hurriedly explained.
He didn't lie. Those boxes of leeks had to be cut short from time to time, otherwise they wouldn't grow strong. Today I happened to catch up with Yang Ling to cut the leeks. There weren't too many of them. If they were fried, they wouldn't be enough for everyone, so they could just make them stuffing.
Have a taste.
"Hahaha, then I'm not polite... Oh, yes, the zombie arms brought back by Captain Hong are indeed different..." Hu Ran was relieved, stuffing wontons into his mouth, and briefly talked about the anatomy just now
the result of.
How should I put it? From the doctor's point of view, this arm is neither human nor zombie. The reason is very simple. The skin, tissue, muscles, blood vessels, and bones are all different from those of humans. To be precise, they are
Some kind of creature is parasitic, and the blood is also filled with an unknown creature.
The reason why they are called organisms is because I can't tell whether they are bacteria, viruses or something else. After all, I am not engaged in pathological research and do not have such knowledge reserves.
At present, this can only be done. The muscle, bone, and blood samples collected from the arm are already being cultured. The specific situation will depend on the culture results. In fact, Hu Ran knows that even with the culture results, he still cannot define those organisms.
properties, it is necessary to find more professional people to conduct further experimental analysis.
"What did Captain Hong say?" Liu Quanyou was not interested in professional issues, he just wanted to know the results.
"Captain Hong said that this kind of zombie eats people, has certain intelligence, and knows how to hide and attack secretly... Oh, yes, it doesn't seem to be afraid of zombies and can coexist with zombies."
Hu Ran thought for a while, but didn't say anything, because Hong Tao didn't say much from beginning to end. He just introduced the situation at that time to facilitate the analysis of the behavior pattern of this kind of thing.
"...That's it...Oh, it's getting late. You've been busy all day. Go back and rest quickly. I'll ask Captain Hong about the specific situation tomorrow." After hearing Hu Ran's introduction, Liu Quanyou felt relieved.
He is not worried about mutated zombies. Now that he has so many weapons, even if he can't go out and use them randomly, it is still no problem to defend the courtyard and the ring fortification. The surrounding areas of these two places have been cleared, and the gunfire will not call too many
Zombies.
What he wants to know is whether the disease will mutate or become more contagious. If there is a danger in this regard, then he must find a way to retreat to a less crowded place, such as a mountainous area outside the city. In that case, some things must be done in advance
Plan, such as how to go, what to take with you, where to go, where to go, how to survive, etc.
"Don't worry. Didn't Dr. Hu say that those organisms will die soon after leaving the human body and do not have the ability to spread through the air?" Liu Quanyou was relieved, but Hong Tao was still frowning, lying on the bed uneasy, just looking at
If you know how to smoke, you will even ignore the early autumn around you.
"I'm not afraid of airborne transmission... Do you think there will only be one?" Hong Tao was already very tired. Even if he was next to Chu Qiu's greasy body, there was no reaction, especially in his mind, which always reflected those bacon.
There is also a scene of it peeping on the wall.
"...I heard Randy say that you have cleaned up all the zombies in the whole yard. It was hidden in the chimney of the fireplace and finally escaped." Chu Qiu didn't quite understand what the landlord meant, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It's scary. Except for the cannibalism part which is a bit disgusting, it seems to be not as powerful as the zombies.
"...Well, that's right, go to sleep!" Hong Tao hesitated, turned over, hugged the woman, and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.
There are some things that cannot be said nonsense now. What he is worried about is not how powerful this thing is, but whether it will become the leader of zombies. What is known is that this thing can coexist with zombies and is infected with similar diseases. At least the zombies will not attack.
Just let it take up residence on the second floor of the embassy.
In fact, Hong Tao very much suspected that it was responsible for the human flesh in the basement of the Hilton Hotel. His previous judgment was somewhat wrong. This guy didn't have to be afraid of zombies at all. It should be looking for survivors everywhere and kill them for food.
The cold storage is one of its strongholds, as is the Indian Embassy. There may be a similar place nearby. It is known that at least two survivors died at its hands.
What about what we don’t know yet? For example, can this thing communicate with zombies? If it can, then trouble is coming, and it’s still a big trouble!
Imagine that a zombie with considerable intelligence leads an army of tens of thousands of zombies who know no fear, no fatigue, and no fear of pain. They search and besiege survivors wherever they go in an organized, premeditated, and planned manner.
Can you live in a low-end environment?
Even if everyone has sufficient weapons and ammunition, the number of zombies is too huge. There must be at least millions in the city alone. Several million... Even if there are hundreds of thousands, all the gun barrels will be scrapped.
It’s not a trap either.
As for whether it evolved from zombies or is a separate species, both myself and Hu Ran prefer the latter explanation. If it evolved from zombies, then where did its muscles and blood vessels come from? It cannot be derived from fibers.
Coming back after transformation, isn't this the same as taking off your pants and farting?
If it is a single species, no matter how small the probability of transformation is, there will definitely not be only one. Maybe there is still such a thing in other areas of the city, or in some parts of the world, and it is slowly evolving...
In addition, Hong Tao is still wondering why these things have not turned into zombies, what are the unknown creatures in their bodies, and why even doctors can't determine... Each of these questions is more complicated than the last, and there are so few clues in his hand that he can't understand it at all.
