Plague Doctor

The invasion by the locusts plunged the incompletely evacuated Municipality of Abyssal North into chaos.

By the morning of 19 March, a day after the arrival of the Flying Locust Squad, the first 100 patients had arrived from the deserted areas on foreign birds, all of whom had either succeeded in self-destructive attacks or had been defenced by air defences, and had resisted this wave of foreign invasions in the desert, but the losses had been severe and evacuations in some areas had had to be suspended.

An area of the city is classified as Isolation No. 1, containing tens of thousands of suspected acutely infected persons.

When the wormbearers blew themselves up, they were all within radiation range - based on about 8,000 square meters caused by Principal Choi.

There are astronauts, officers and soldiers, a large number of civilians, some of them tow houses, elderly people and children.

Some of the contacts outside the scope are also temporarily classified as suspected patients, who are in Isolation 2.

After that day, Isolation Zone 1 was no longer suspected, and all were diagnosed with symptoms of a dietary need; more than 3,000 people were diagnosed on the other side of Isolation Zone 2.

This additional patient of more than thirteen thousand greatly tested the manpower of the associated configuration, whether it be isolation, guarding, curing, alleviating suffering… Otherwise, there will be more terrible situations. At the national dispatch, a convoy arrived from the outside world with a large number of people who had written a suicide note.

At the quarantine base, however, the condition of the second group of patients is worsening.

Following the emergence of the Locust Squad, the mental problems of the patients have increased markedly, and most of the thousands of teachers and students in Desert North Senior High School have symptoms of mental disorder, although the medical team can also use sedative, artificial coma treatments.

However, the physiological symptoms of the patients were overwhelming and nutrient fluids were applied, but the body still experienced similar changes in water scarcity and hunger, blood pressure was decreasing, and the examination found that the patient's cerebral blood flow was also decreasing in the joints and seemed to be progressing towards ischemia.

Normal human beings are complicated enough, and the DNA tests of these locust patients confirm Wang Ruoxiang's hypothesis.

They compare to their pre-infection DNA, which is extracted in things like hair collected in their homes, with significant differences, and the associated genetic mutation sites exhibit the same distribution and frequency. One site mutation can also mutate the human body, and now the so-called locustification is not known how many site mutations are made together, but it can be ascertained that the genes of the patients have indeed mutated, and there are many mutations.

Just including Wang Ruoxiang himself, the medical personnel hope that this hypothesis is wrong, because in this situation, they have no choice.

Just as the human body needs vitamin C, this is a physiological need at the DNA level.

They know what the patient needs, that kind of abnormal dirt, but once given, it leads to death earlier.

If you have enough time, gather the global power of scientific research, you may have the appropriate genetic correction therapy.

But there are times not decades, not even a month, not even a week.

Sikohuan, Wang Ruoxiang, Cai Zixuan and others, all fell into confusion.

The earliest clinical trials were long over, and some of the six patients who participated in the trials went to the wilderness frontline to determine the demarcation line with the Dare Death Squad.

Patients can tell where the soil is normal and where it is abnormal with the body. In the plan of action, patients don't have to eat dirt, and the death squad won't let them eat it, just a pint of tongue. Since the boundary line may be long and the time is urgent, 100 patients were recruited.

They are willing, even contending.

At least a little bit of unusual dirt can be eaten.

“I want to do something...” When Kevin signed up for senior year, he said, “I know I'm finished, and that would be worth at least a little...” I thought I was going to die, he was in pain, there was only one wish, a wish caused by strong physiological influences: “Can I eat that kind of dirt before I die, and then kill me again, please...”

“I can't just let my students go.” Director Wang Jinbo is also one of the conscripts and eager to eat an unusual amount of dirt before he dies.

It's in this complex mood, mixed with fear, depravity, desire to die worthy, distorted greed for the earth.

One hundred more stable patients participated in the operation.

Among them, 63 suddenly went mad during the determination process, escaped from the custody of the death squad and ran towards the demarcation line, but not where they were going. Instead, they burst onto the ground with their hands digging the dirt and stuffed it in their mouths. Some were completely insane, and others were crying and stuffed.

They can't fight that thirst, and when a person is hungry to the limit, madness is the norm.

Hungry, extremely hungry, most modern people don't know what it's like, but the bloody history books say it must be cruel.

It will make people no longer human beings, but become bloodthirsty animals again. The morality, dignity and will of humans will be shattered, mud eaten, plants eaten, Eko eaten each other… so long as that hunger can be eradicated, nothing will be taken into account.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

As agreed before the operation, the snipers of the death squad killed these uncontrolled patients humanely, and Director Wang, Zhou Kewen... all shot in the head.

Minimize suffering and try to preserve the dignity of the patient.

The bodies of the patients were landed in deserted areas shortly after being cremated by incendiary bombs.

The other 37 patients, most of whom received euthanasia at the end of the operation, were more severely affected by increased exposure to radiation in the wasteland area.

This hundred patients have chosen a worthy sacrifice, and if this civilization is not defeated by this event, they will be remembered.

But at the moment, no one in the command centre or in any department can immerse themselves in it. The demarcation line of the wasteland area has determined that there is a range of approximately 2 square kilometres, and operations to establish the life circle have proceeded immediately and are now on a visible scale.

Wang Ruoxiang, as a doctor, watched the front-line actions at the front of the screen, observing and analyzing them.

The sound of the gunshot also smashed her heart and tore every nerve of her.

“Are we the doctors or the bodies?” She muttered to herself.

What can they clinicians do at a time like this?

Still in medical school, teachers have said that one of the major responsibilities of doctors is to try to alleviate the suffering of patients. It is not only to save people that is the doctor. If you can't save them, then no, many diseases cannot be cured temporarily. Cancer, many... What doctors need to do is alleviate the suffering of patients...

She hasn't slept for a long time and will wake up suddenly even if she has time to rest and is just about to fall asleep.

But it was in this state that Wang Ruoxiang was involved in the diagnosis and euthanasia of the returning patients.

Locusts alter their bodies and erode their will, but they can still leave the world in peace.

It must be another long day, and at 9: 00 in the morning, a change comes suddenly.

Wang Ruoxiang was woken up in the shadows and rushed to the command room of the quarantine base. Everyone here looked at the big screen. It was on the other side of the wasteland. There was a group of drones in the air, and there were remotely piloted vehicles on the ground, from the demarcation line, from another space, suddenly entering the wilderness.

Those are not the equipment of their camp, the logos are strange, and there are two Chinese characters, “secret”.
