Chapter 24 I tried my best
The answer will not be revealed until three days later, when sleepwalking occurs.
These three days are now a battle to treat the existing victims.
The top dermatologist in the south flew to the hospital to perform the surgery, and at the same time, plastic surgery was also performed by top doctors.
They had never performed such an operation, which required continuous cutting of the patient's body, not from a safety perspective, but only to remove the plum blossom spots.
Such surgery requires that the spots be removed before they spread. Otherwise, once they grow over a large area, they will have to be cut off in large pieces. Even if the patient survives, he will not live long without skin on his body.
The doctors considered this question, but during the operation, they realized that there was no need to consider it at all.
The plum blossom spots grow uncontrollably. At the beginning, they can be controlled, but later on, the speed of removal is far less than the speed of growth.
The changes in the face are even more bizarre. No matter what object is inserted or what prosthesis is implanted, it will deform in a very short time and tend to become unstable.
On the second day after the operation, three patients died of massive bleeding.
On the second night of the operation, the rosacea broke out completely. The remaining three patients were trembling and about to be deformed. Because they were under anesthesia, they could only be killed by shooting.
The patient who lived the longest only lived 20 minutes longer.
Fighting against the meihua spot without caring about the cost , destroying the patient's body, ultimately only gained 20 minutes of unconscious life.
Such a result completely declares that the method of curing the infected has completely failed.
Now, the only way to deal with this "Pen Fairy" disaster is to kill the pathogens and cut off the transmission route.
Day 3.
Tangcheng City Government, large conference room.
This was Chen Xuan's first time attending a meeting of this level. The heads of the six special task forces sat in different positions. The rest of the positions were occupied by the directors of various bureaus and generals. Chen Xuan sat next to Zheng Guofu and seemed outnumbered.
Sitting in the main seat, quietly watching the surveillance screen is the current mayor of Tang City——
Kong Zheng.
Kong Zheng had a stern face and looked coldly at the people being controlled in the surveillance.
After the virus was spread among six people, there are now six families and fifteen victims who may be infected. According to Kong Zheng's request, the fifteen people were placed under centralized surveillance on the third day.
At the same time, each serious crime team also reported one by one based on the implementation of its own plan.
The first person to report was Liu Mei from the special task force. Chen Xuan had heard of her. She was an undercover agent who had successfully retired from the front line of drug control and was very decisive in her work.
"Chief Kong, during this operation, we evacuated the victims in advance and attempted to wake the sleepwalker. According to the actual situation, transmission requires the presence of "people" in the home, regardless of the number of people, the infection will occur. If there is no one at home, the transmission chain may be interrupted. During the implementation process, we evacuated the entire community. No matter which room the sleepwalker entered, no one would be there."
"Although our attempts to awaken the sleepwalker during the operation didn't successfully stop his suspected ritualistic behavior and we weren't able to save him, I believe this plan can be used in tonight's operation. As long as we continue the cycle, we can stop the spread."
After the report was completed, Kong Zheng neither confirmed nor denied it, and the report continued to move forward.
The reports of the second and third groups were similar to those of the first group, except that the second group did not evacuate in time after the sleepwalker entered, resulting in risks.
The fourth group, through research, believed that the "ritual" was the important step leading to infection, so they chose to shoot the arm to forcibly interrupt the sleepwalker's operation.
But after the shooting, the victim shook his arms at an extremely fast speed, apparently completing the ritual. After waking up, the sleepwalker also felt great pain, causing great physical and mental trauma.
The fifth group was a couple. After forcibly waking up the sleepwalker, they finally woke up and vaguely realized what had happened, so they did not escape.
But since the sleepwalkers have been awakened, they are not necessarily dead.
Only Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan slowly stood up. Everyone looked at him, especially the people from the serious crime squad, who looked at Chen Xuan with the most solemn eyes.
Everyone discussed their plans with each other, and they all borrowed from each other to some extent. Only Chen Xuan's plan remained unchanged, and they were deeply impressed.
Chen Xuan stood up and said calmly:
"Based on my experience fighting the Pen Fairy, we humans currently have no real way to restrain it. I am also unwilling to use human lives for experiments, so I ultimately chose the safest method."
"Since if there is one person in the family, they will infect one person, and if there are three people in the family, they will infect three people, then we should reduce the number of people to the minimum and leave only one person, so that this chain of transmission will always have only one person."
Liu Mei frowned and asked:
"If you think the number of people is related to the spread, then why don't everyone evacuate?"
She couldn't understand this behavior that would definitely kill someone, but Chen Xuan quickly gave an explanation:
"Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall." Chen Xuan looked at Liu Mei quietly, "Let alone a ghost that is completely beyond our comprehension ."
"The first time, I tried to stop Li Qiqi's transmission chain at her stage, which caused more serious consequences. The second time, in order to prove the existence of the Pen Fairy, I almost made Li Yuan become a Pen Fairy."
"I wouldn't bet."
"So you're just going to hand over human lives to the so-called 'ghosts'? As police officers, we must ensure the safety of every citizen's life, not use it as a scale to weigh them. If we do that, whoever commits suicide will be left to die, and whoever ensures survival will be left to die!"
"Who should die for whom ? Is this up to you to decide?"
"But Officer Liu, are you mistaken?"
Chen Xuan raised his voice and suppressed his words:
"This isn't a philosophy question, nor is it the trolley problem. This world isn't a fairy tale. We can't just save everyone if we want to! We always have to make choices! I'm willing to bear the consequences."
“I can guarantee my results.”
"What about you?"
“Wait until all the victims are dead before regretfully saying, ‘Did I do my best?
Chen Xuan said this coldly. Almost everyone present had a dark face. Even Zheng Guofu was embarrassed and pulled Chen Xuan, asking him to stop talking.
Only Kong Zheng maintained a poker face and watched the surveillance video.
"Oh."
Liu Mei chuckled. She knew that the man in front of her was unreasonable. Instead of thinking about saving everyone first, he killed one person first.
"Then let's go and see."
Only when the real results come out can we know who is right and who is wrong.
Everyone waited quietly. The moment the results came out, they would have to decide how to control the next wave of infection.
Liu Mei has already prepared the personnel. At a command, all her men will come out in full force according to yesterday's plan.
Time passed and soon it was night.
And the time to reveal the answer is coming...
