Plague Doctor
Chapter 27 Isobronchiasis
“Before we talk about this creature, let me start with the deformed remains that you dissected earlier. ”
Professor Qin's old face is very calm, but the more people hear what he says, the more they are shocked:
“Those people are infected with 'Isolated Banyan Disease' - that's our tentative name, because the pathogen is probably related to banyan trees, as Gu thought. Isobronchiasis may occur in three stages, the first stage being the latency phase, the human body itself is asymptomatic, and the latency period is short, probably no longer than fifteen days. ”
“The second stage is the limb lesion phase, in which the limb develops mutant cells, rapidly proliferates indefinitely, and disrupts normal cellular tissue, much like cancer cells. But this abnormal cell can cause structural aberrations in the limbs, very quickly, and in just a few days it can become like the remains of your autopsy. At this stage, the patient can be treated if the lesion is completely removed by amputation. ”
Meanwhile, a staff member operated the large screen on the north wall of the venue to play related video images.
Hundreds of people looked at the whole scene and looked like they were taking classes in the classroom.
Gu Jun was also watching. The first image was the amputation procedure taken above the operating table, which was removed by doctors from the special department. Because he had dissected this limb, he didn't know how difficult it was...
If the number of patients is large, no wonder the special department is in dire need of anatomical talent, as anatomical and surgical procedures have a lot of technical convergence.
After a while, the surgical video made people sweat and sweat, many people were stunned, even the surgical bull Professor Yu even sighed.
The doctors who performed the surgery on the video, they were too skilled.
“Ah...” Xu Hai, Zhang Hao ran, they all had to mumble. This is what opened their eyes to.
Gu Jun also looked surprised. Even if he had a second tier Tae Lan hand, he could barely stand next to the doctors to serve tea and water.
This surgical video only jumped for 10 minutes. In the next video, those patients have had their limbs removed, or their upper limbs, or their lower limbs, and they look just like regular amputees with newly installed prostheses for rehabilitation training...
However, Gu Jun wanted to come, these patients must have been monitored in isolation for a long time.
“There are still no data available on whether patients relapse after surgery and survival, and further clinical observation is required. ”
Professor Qin said at this time, “The deformed remains of your autopsies are in the second stage, but they... did not receive proper treatment. ”
This statement obviously hid some insights, and Professor Qin's voice became heavier: “When the patient progresses to the third stage of loss, the mutant cells will spread rapidly all over the body, with the exception of the head, structural aberrations will occur elsewhere, and the skin will collapse. Persistent severe pain, confusion, delirium, mania, with severe disease, generalized muscle spasms, angular arch distension. ”
The angular arch is inverted due to the height of the neck back, resulting in a condition that is arch-like to the body.
The audience only saw another video playing on the big screen, and the extremely painful howl sounded the venue again.
The video is a surveillance video of a small white room like a cell, the room is less than five square meters, there is nothing arranged, only one patient is lying naked on the ground with an angular arch inverted, the patient's head is severely bent on the back, but the trunk protrudes forward, it is no longer distorted as a human figure...
Once again, the senses of the people were oppressed by this unspeakable weirdness, while others silently took vomit bags.
Professor Qin said: "Patients who have lost their consciousness during the period of loss have already lost their consciousness. If there are other patients with allobanosis dysplasia around, the two will become insanely entangled, the skin will not be able to separate after adhesion at the crash, and then the proliferating skin will form at the adhesion, and after the wound heals, the two will act like connectionists. So many people stick together, and eventually the deformation becomes like a banyan tree. This is what you see in the cage. ”
In silence, teachers and students have been surrounded by a deep cold, unlike the direct fright just now, which is so deep.
They could have pushed the weirdness in front of them into the fear of "damned evil," but now they're completely shattered by solid video footage and a human banyan tree. It's not ghosts, it's diseases, and they're doctors.
It feels like a dark cloud is pressing into the sky and storms are falling at any moment.
But would it still be normal rainwater, they don't know.
“Once a patient with Isobronchiosis has developed adhesion.” Professor Qin's old face was stretched out and said especially seriously: “We believe that they are no longer human beings, but a new creature that can no longer be cured. We are currently finding that this creature has at least two states, living and dead. Live banyan trees can continue to grow, their black fluids become contagious, other organisms become infected once they come into contact with the active black fluids and rapidly develop to the phase of loss. There was no mistake just now in thinking that alien banyan trees can adhere to creatures other than humans. And what Sun said about rejection, it's gone. ”
The big screen of the venue is playing again, and this time everyone is staring, but they are confused about the scene.
Still surveillance video, a very large, zero-arranged white room with a huge white painted iron cage in the middle with a different human banyan tree.
Not the one in the venue, but the banyan tree in the video is even bigger, possibly with more than thirty bodies. It moved slowly in the cage. When two men in full body protective clothing approached the cage, its dozens of skulls paused together and made a fierce scream, which was even more dazzling than just now...
“Departmental biologists believe it depends on this sound for hunting.” Professor Qin explains, "If you unfortunately face the banyan tree one day, you must not be intimidated by it and immediately stay away from its contact range. Otherwise you'll be part of the tree. ”
At this point in the video, the two protective clothing officers threw several familiar Kunming mice into the iron cage.
“Squeak!” The mice screamed in alarm and shrunk into a cage completely immobile. A few of the hands of the alien banyan tree grabbed them... At this time the video was playing faster, only the skin of those hands seeped black fluid into the mice...
A dozen minutes later, they twist their limbs, and a dozen minutes later, the angular arches tend to reverse, developing into a phase of loss in less than half an hour!
Then, for the first time, hundreds of teachers and students really saw how the banyan tree was bonded, and the timeline of the surveillance video showed that just over two hours later, those Kunming mice were like a natural part of the banyan tree.
There was a humming low voice in the venue, the medical students grabbed their hair, the medical students covered their faces, the medical students sighed for a long time...
“Uh...” Cai Zixuan opened his mouth and forgot what he wanted to say.
Wang Ruoxiang similarly remained silent. He Yuhan held her in fear and muttered: “Too bad, too bad...”
Yeah, too bad. Gu Jun looked down and looked directly at the demon's creation on the screen, but why did he see another magnificence in it?
Just like on the ruins of everything, a more subtle tower was rebuilt.
