Plague Doctor

The multi-compartment ward connects the middle office area from both sides. At this time, only Wang Ruoxiang, Lin Shizhe and Chen Xiang are located in the large office area.

They sat in front of a row of surveillance screens looking at one of the wards, and Zhou Kewen was eating that 50 grams of abnormal soil frantically.

“Mmm..." Weird swallowing sounds coming from computer speakers, the patient is still wolf swallowing tiger swallowing, eating only faster than last time, like what walking corpse for corrosive swallowing, will definitely plug the already wounded upper gastrointestinal tract again.

After eating all the dirt, Zhou Kewen shouted anxiously: “Also, again, that's not enough, is it? I want more! ”

“Mr. Chow, calm down.” Wang Ruoxiang was merely a consolation and did not respond to the patient's request.

After eating ordinary soil, the patient had a food poisoning reaction in less than a minute, so whether abnormal soil was separate will be known soon.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

Five minutes later, Zhou Kewen did not have a food poisoning reaction, his vital signs were stable and his mind was clear, but he was constantly demanding more dirt.

“On the other hand, abnormal soil is accepted by the patient.” Lin Shizhu said that this is exactly what is happening.

“Instead, the patient's blood pressure is more stable.” Chen Xiang spoke of another situation, and from the various indicators, the patient was like a psychotropic.

Wang Ruoxiang wonders what this means, but the soil that the patient is calling for is essentially ordinary soil in terms of composition...

“Zhou, now we'll send you some bread, bananas and water, and if you eat, we'll give you another 10 grams of dirt. ”

She continued with the next step of the experiment, which she could only use because of the patient's lack of cooperation.

Soon, another remotely piloted drone entered the ward and took 100 grams of bread, 50 grams of bananas and 200 ml of water.

Because of the seduction of the dirt reward, Zhou Kewen also ate the food in a windy way. Five minutes later, he did not have any adverse reactions. Wang Ruoxiang gave the patient another 10 grams of abnormal soil as planned, and everything seemed normal after the patient ate it.

If you're just eating this soil, it's a good diagnosis for anorexia, but... are there any locusts in the body?

This may take a while to check and confirm, from Tree Planting Festival to Principal Choi's self-destruct, but four days have passed.

Due to the emergency, the medical team plans to perform a first gastroscopy five hours after the patient has taken the soil and a re-examination every five hours thereafter. Prior to this, the three men continued to experiment with the next patient under the original protocol, Sun Cuiting, a 37-year-old female teacher, who had not eaten ordinary soil.

Soon, all six patients participating in the experiment completed their diet without adverse conditions.

Wang Ruoxiang reported the experiment to the Command Center, and she learned that those who had not been fed the exotic soil were becoming increasingly aggressive.

If there are no insects present in the patient, if this good condition can be maintained, then there is temporary therapy...

The morning arrived, entering March 18, and at 2: 34, the first subject had sudden symptoms of abdominal pain less than four hours after taking soil.

Zhou Kewen's face was pale and cold sweaty, describing the medical team as "hanging pain, as if something was drilling”.

Wang Ruoxiang and the other three acted immediately, and things still seemed to slip in the worst direction.

They don't know how it works, and that's not what they should be getting involved with right now, it's with not having a gastroscopy first.

Normally, gastroscopy takes place on an empty stomach, as food and digestive residues affect the field of view, make it difficult for physicians to see mucosal tissue, etc., and make the patient nauseous and vomiting easily during the examination. But now, they're not looking at meticulous lesions, they're looking at the presence of parasites in the stomach.

When he entered the ward, Wang Ruoxiang went up and injected Zhou Kevin with a larger dose of tranquillizer, and then sprayed his throat with anesthetic.

“Doctor, I don't want to die...” Zhou Kewen exclaimed, his younger face wrinkled because of fear and pain, and his tears came out.

Lin Shizhe and Chen Xiang were both middle-aged men with the strength to hold the patient, but Zhou Kewen also had reason to do the left side of the knee bending position in cooperation.

“I know, we'll do our best to have a gastroscope first.” Wang Ruoxiang comforted the patient with some of the things during the examination, and began to prepare the tired spirit, having studied and tried to do gastroscopy before.

The painless gastroscopy instrument was placed on the patient's side of the bed, and she slowly placed the gastroscope into the patient's mouth to the root of her tongue with the front end of the mirror in her right hand.

At this time, the patient often feels nauseous, as is the case with Chow Kevin, and therefore swallows, while the upper mouth of the esophagus pauses openly.

It was at this moment of opening that Wang Ruoxiang inserted his gastroscope into the esophagus along the opening.

“Hmmm...” Zhou Kewen whimpered sadly.

A slim, soft gastric tube penetrates the patient's stomach one by one, and the images taken by the lens are displayed in real time on the gastroscope screen.

Wang Ruoxiang looked at the screen and her bright brows grew tight.

On the screen are some fresh red meat that is peristaltic, that is the esophagus, after the gastroscope enters the stomach, the food that has not been completely digested is exposed, some adhere to the gastric mucosa, some flicker as the patient swallows, brown and black soil mixes with red blood, as well as the pasty liquid of digestion, which appears to be a mess.

On the mucous membrane of the stomach, in a pasty liquid, there is also a hint of translucent white filament, completely ignoring the stomach acids, swinging the peristalsis repeatedly.

It looks a lot like a "pointy nematode," a parasite that parasitizes marine fish and humans, starting with fish infected and humans infected by eating seafood.

Stomach acids cannot kill them, but they are highly permeable and can penetrate the walls of the stomach, causing the patient to perforate the stomach and even enter the muscles. There are no special effects to treat this bug, but to remove it with a fibrogastroscopy or open the abdomen.

Patients infected with mitral nematodes develop symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract such as nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain and other symptoms during the acute phase of clinical disease for 1-5 days...

If Zhou Kewen went to a general hospital at this time and was examined by an unknown group of medical personnel, he would most likely be diagnosed with an infection with a mitral nematode.

But Lin Sichul was involved in dissecting Principal Choi from the nurse's side. Naturally, it was not a pointy nematode, it was a locust.

Wang Ruoxiang is more familiar with this. In Principal Choi's organs and structures, there are such parasitic shadows. They are immature and the youngest insects visible.

Insects, Insects in the subject's body.

When Principal Choi blew himself up that day, Chow Kevin stood very far behind the playground, and it was impossible to inhale the spilled parasite at a distance.

“What is that...” Wang Ruoxiang suddenly had a tighter eyebrow and was surprised to see a piece of gastric mucosa becoming translucent, quickly breaking down into piles of wormwire. The original position of the gastric mucosa became coarse brown, as if it had been burned by an electrocoagulator and no blood seeps out.

Those newly decomposed wormwires swing, peristallize, and submerge in that pasty liquid, as they enter the intestine, turning the intestine into a parasitic ocean as well.

“How?” Lin Shizhu was confused and saw this strange sight, and the human tissue was transformed into a parasite.

Even if Chen Xiang is a member of Operations, he knows how bad the situation is. If the gastric mucosa can be converted, what about the muscles? Where's the skin?

Seeing their faces change dramatically, Zhou Kevington whimpered more nervously, obviously asking about his situation.

Wang Ruoxiang can't speak, can't say uncomfortable words of comfort such as "You're okay, you're okay”.

I think of Principal Choi's body full of parasites, even in the bones, her heart is cold, her ears are a bit buzzing...

Bug eggs are not required, and these infected patients do not need bug eggs.

It seems… that any part of the patient's body can be transformed into this insect, eventually turning the whole person into a beach of insects.

Pathogens, at a higher level.

Patients do not need to eat worm eggs. Patients themselves are already worm eggs. Eating abnormal soil requires nutrients to grow...

Locust disease, indeed, is locust disease.
