Chapter 245 Countdown to Destruction
The body was covered with red spots and lumps, and it was extremely hideous and ugly, and it was impossible to tell what it looked like originally. However, as long as the bones or teeth were intact, it would not be difficult to find out his identity. Rong Yuan took out his mobile phone and took a photo . Noah would get the relevant information without sending it.
A complex stream of data flashed across the phone screen.
In fact, when Noah invades other people's mobile phones or computers, it comes and goes quietly and will not be discovered, but only in front of Rong Yuan, it likes to use various ways to make its presence felt.
Rong Yuan took a quick glance and put his phone in his pocket as usual. Then he took out a brown paper bag that looked like it was folded by hand, opened it, and covered the entire body and the refrigerator. After tightening the bag, the bulging paper bag returned to the size of an ordinary shopping bag. There were also handles twisted out of paper on both sides, which looked light and unstressed. But Rong Yuan, who was holding it, knew very well that his hands were heavy at this time, and the weight of the refrigerator and the body had not been reduced at all.
However, this level of weight is no different to him than carrying a small bag of fruit. Rong Yuan no longer has any objections to the exchange system of the Merit Mall, especially since this time the situation is special and he has fully demonstrated his "buy, buy, buy" style of a local tyrant.
He walked out of the morgue carrying the paper bag. The corridor was still empty and eerie. The two people he had knocked unconscious had not woken up yet. Only his footsteps echoed in the dark corridor.
He walked here for about seven or eight minutes, but was never disturbed. This might have been normal in the past, but it is abnormal nowadays.
Because in this hospital, many people die every minute, but no one sends the bodies to where they should be.
——Do their relatives still dare to lie on the corpses and cry bitterly at this moment?
The only reasonable explanation is that hospitals nowadays are no longer able to transport corpses.
When Rong Yuan walked up the somewhat remote and dark stairs, the anxiety, pain and despair that overwhelmed him made him realize that the situation was even worse than he had imagined.
The hospital at this time was already a place of despair.
If there is any useful conclusion drawn by previous experts, it is that the transmission method of this virus is the most dangerous and difficult to defend against among all infectious diseases. No matter which one it is, if it is transmitted through body fluids, droplets, organisms, drinking water, soil, mother-to-child transmission or contact, humans have a lot of ways to conquer it, but it is airborne. No one is wary of air, and no one can completely isolate the air. Moreover, when the disease first occurred, people thought it was a common cold. There was no prevention during treatment and contact. Even doctors and nurses only wore a thin mask at most.
Even if it is transmitted through the air, if its onset is faster or the spread is slower, there may still be hope. However, this is already the fourth day. After the people of Juniper Country discovered the terrifying power of this disease, various countries began to investigate frantically. Sure enough, new patients were constantly discovered. If a red dot was marked on the world map for each new patient found, you can see that the whole world has been covered in blood-like color.
The sudden destruction came on such an ordinary day, when no one was aware of it.
And the hospital, in this disaster, became like purgatory.
When Rong Yuan first came in, the place was still functioning normally. Although it was chaotic, it was still in order. But now, countless people were crying, howling, and screaming. There were corpses lying on many beds, and some were even dragged to the ground. Their eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, showing how painful it was to die. There were also many patients lying on the ground, barely surviving. When someone stepped on them, they only groaned weakly. Those who could still move were almost running around frantically. Most people rushed to the door, even if their limbs were broken or they were trampled to death, they had to leave this place.
No one treated them because the medical staff who were in contact with the patients day and night were the first to fall when the virus broke out.
A girl with disheveled hair stretched out her hands and tried to grab everyone who ran past her, crying, "Please, please save my brother! Help! Help! Someone come to help us! Please... Please... We need help..."
Everyone needs help, but no one is willing to stop for anyone else.
There are people like this girl who are still willing to stay by their loved ones’ side at this time, but they are not many. Most healthy people, or those who look healthy, originally accompanied their relatives and friends to see the doctor, but now they have abandoned their seriously ill relatives and friends in a panic and run for their lives. There are even those who don’t care about their lives at this time, and they even snatch wallets, jewelry and other items from the hands of the injured and patients who are unable to move, regardless of whether they will be infected with the virus. There are also those who are ruthless, in order to escape, they directly push others down to become their stepping stones, or simply pick up a stool or something like that to "smash" a way for themselves.
All kinds of beings, at this moment, the noblest and the most despicable, the greatest and the most ordinary, the purest and the most evil, are all displayed vividly.
Rong Yuan was stunned for two seconds before he said, "Noah, find me a quiet place."
"Yes." Noah knew the situation was urgent, so he said simply, "Go upstairs, the first room on the right."
Rong Yuan went there as he was told. The lobby on the first floor was still bustling, but there was almost no one on the second floor, which seemed particularly creepy. He looked up at the three letters ENT above, which stood for the Department of Otolaryngology. The door was ajar, and there was no movement inside. He pushed the door open and saw that the doctors and patients had obviously run away long ago. When they ran away, they accidentally knocked over the trays containing the instruments, and a mess of tweezers, endoscopes, etc. were scattered all over the floor, and the broken lenses were flashing on the floor.
He locked the door, drew the curtains, and exchanged two pieces of expulsion talismans to stick on the doors and windows, so that even if someone wanted to come in, they would give up the idea when they got close. Then he took out the body from the camouflage paper bag in his hand, frowned and looked at it, and hesitated for a moment.
"Rongyuan?" Wandou asked softly.
Rong Yuan sighed and said with disdain, "It's disgusting."
He walked to the side, took out the long-dusted Ant-Man suit from his ring and put it on. He turned to Pea, who had turned back into his original form, and said, "Pea, you stay with me. Noah, stay alert."
Pea can also use and exchange goods in the Merit Mall. It responded and changed into the same set of clothes. This set of battle clothes is amazing. It can automatically expand and contract to the appropriate size. After putting on the helmet, the two of them look exactly the same except for the difference in size. Based on the unreasonable , even if Pea becomes smaller, it can still communicate with Noah in the normal macroscopic world through the optical brain. Moreover, Noah is an electronic product that uses electromagnetic waves to transmit signals. Its computing speed and information transmission speed allow it to transmit and understand a large amount of information in an instant. Even if there is a time difference between the two parties, there is no problem in communicating with it.
But Noah did not have the sense of pride in his advantages. When he thought that Pea could stay with Rongyuan while he had to keep watch, track down the identity of the deceased, monitor the changes of the virus, etc., a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart. He was so jealous of the "little man" who could always be with his master that his eyes turned red - if he had eyes.
Rong Yuan glanced at Wandou, and the two of them pressed the switch almost at the same time and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
…
Merit Mall has a cure for this infectious disease, but it is either a black technology product like Qingti Pills that can only be used by Rong Yuan and does not conform to the rules of Earth; or it is an alien medicine that has surpassed the level of technological development on Earth and added raw materials that do not exist on Earth. In this crisis, Rong Yuan has no shortcuts and can only use the resources on Earth to find a cure for this infectious disease as much as possible.
In order to defeat it, he must first understand it. There is no more direct way to analyze it from a microscopic level. Moreover, the sense of time when he becomes a microscopic body is far different from the normal world. In this state, he has a long time to study this virus.
The sudden outbreak of the virus means that after a three-day incubation period, it has reached its most destructive stage; the death rate of patients and the speed of transmission are getting faster and faster, indicating that this is not the end of the virus, and it is still mutating and evolving rapidly.
Theoretically, the virus in the earliest deceased person is closest to the original ecology of the virus. From him, it is also most likely to get the cure for the virus - but this is only theoretical. Or perhaps, the mutated descendants of the virus have rapidly developed into completely different existences from their ancestors, and even if a vaccine is developed, it can only cure a small number of people.
Judging from the lightning-fast death rate of patients, within an hour, perhaps L City, a modern city with a population of more than 8 million, will become a dead city. And how long can the world last?
Rong Yuan tried his best not to distract himself by thinking about this question. Before his eyes, the dreamlike world slowly unfolded once again.
…
Wu Xi couldn't help but recall that low laugh, and that look that seemed normal but gave him chills. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find the source of this feeling. He could only recall it over and over again. Every time that scene passed before his eyes, the chill in his heart grew stronger.
"Xixi, Xixi, what's wrong with you?"
His body was suddenly pushed, and when he looked up, he saw the worried look of his agent Liu Jie.
Wu Xi shook his head silently, not wanting to speak, and subconsciously rubbed the ring on his hand. He had just used the small needle inside to collect several blood samples, and the microprocessor was probably analyzing the components. But to get a more comprehensive result, special tools were needed.
Liu Jie didn't notice Wu Xi's distraction. She didn't even notice that Wu Xi didn't answer her. She looked around in panic and said, "Xixi, this place makes me feel scared. Let's go back early."
Wu Xi still had things to do and didn't want to leave, but he knew that this place was becoming increasingly dangerous for ordinary people like Liu Jie, and he felt a little reluctant, so he said, "You go back first, Sister Liu, contact... a... plane now..."
His voice trailed off and his gaze turned to his arm, his eyes growing wider.
On the arm, whose pores were almost invisible and whose curves were graceful as if they were carefully polished, there were a dozen red dots distributed in some sparse or some dense manner like scattered chess pieces.
——How... is it possible?
