Chapter 498 Disaster

Lindsay sat on the hospital bed and glanced at the opening outside the window, putting away the newspaper in his hand.

He regained his consciousness by taking medicine, and one hand was fixed on the bed. In order to prevent him from getting sick, the hospital did not allow them to be free at all.

The hospital bed not far beside him is the patient who was sent in shortly after he was sent to this isolation room.He was also infected with Reedman virus and used a modified HX3 agent to restore his mind.

This is the worst-hit area in Belgium. There are two patients in one isolation room. Because there are too many patients, the isolation area here is already overcrowded. I am afraid that this situation will continue for a long time before there is no special medicine to treat it.

"When do you think the special medicine will come out?" Lindsay said, his voice a little bit tired and a little disturbed.This kind of waiting for death, no one feels good.

"I don't know." The patient opposite Lindsay shook his head, and it was not good to be in a mental state.His name is Maude, who once introduced himself to Lindsay, and the two are also friends in need. In this closed isolation room, chatting when they are bored, they have already known each other.

"I don't know how long this medicine can last." Lindsay said.

"Haha, I guess it's coming soon, I feel something is wrong now." Maude smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Lindsay recovered, his pupils shrank, and when he looked at Maude, the other party was already shaking his head, as if he wanted to get rid of what was in his head.

"Go away, go away!!"

"Ghost, ghost, don't come over."

"Go and die."

Suddenly when Maude saw Lindsay, his face was already horrified. He kept pulling his hands tied to the hospital bed, retracting his body into the corner of the hospital bed, and constantly waving his other hand, as if he saw and It's something terrifying.

Seeing this scene, Lindsay's pupils shrank, and fear floated in his heart.

This is the state after the onset, completely without self-awareness, like a lunatic with a mental illness.I'm afraid that when I get sick, it's not much better than this.

A desperate mood surged into his heart, making him completely flustered.

...

"The injection was successful, let him go."

In the Los Angeles quarantine area, Steven pulled out the syringe from the patient and quickly retreated one meter away from the bed, watching the patient struggling frantically on the bed.

Five minutes later, the patient on the hospital bed didn't mean to stop, still looking at him with crazy eyes, as if seeing an enemy.

This scene raised the heart of the medical staff nearby.

"Doctor Timon, why isn't the patient well?"

"HX3 potion has failed." Steven's voice is extremely heavy, and the haze in his heart is thicker.

"Then what shall we do?" The voice of the medical staff was a little flustered.

"Fix him in this way and don't let him go." Steven said: "Other isolation rooms should pay attention to it. Once the medicine is ineffective, notify me immediately."

"Good." The medical staff hurriedly agreed.

After leaving the isolation room, Steven felt heavy, and he was a little flustered, but he had to force himself to calm down.

The HX3 medicine has expired.

The worst happens.

Once the medicine fails on the patient, it means that the first users will become unconscious again, and it will be a disaster for the entire world.

And this disaster has come.

...

East China Sea, Tokyo, New York, Ottawa, Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam...

Similar things are happening in every corner of the world.

The improved HX3 medicine failed to the first batch of patients, and more and more patients regained their illness from the virus.In just one day, there were 227 deaths due to relapses worldwide.

The news plunged the world into an unprecedented panic.

Many infected people saw their patients who had relapsed, their mentality had collapsed, and they were desperate, crying for medical treatment, but the response they received was only a sigh of regret.

Death, despair, fear, these are the themes of the quarantine zone, and various negative emotions, as if the hand of death held in their hearts, could take their lives at any time.

The first batch of medicines failed, and the delay of one month has passed.However, there is still no good news of drug breakthroughs in various medical teams around the world, which has caused the mentality of many front-line medical staff to collapse.

...

"Dean, more and more patients are out of control, isolation rooms and beds are not enough, and medical personnel are not enough. Masks, protective clothing, gloves, syringes, sedatives, ambulances, etc. are not enough. The urgently needed medical equipment is already in short supply. , We need a lot of medical supplies. Is there any new news on it now?"

Roche looked at the middle-aged and elderly man with glasses in front of him. He was Matt, the director of Victoria Hospital.Seeing Matt did not speak, Rochet was anxious and continued to ask.

"HX3 medicine can only last for one month. Are there any new medicines at the institute?"

"No." Matt shook his head with a sullen face: "There is no news in the world. According to the WHO, research teams around the world have tried more than 4,290 drugs, all of which are ineffective against the virus. This virus is terribly overbearing."

"Then what should we do now? The hospital can no longer accommodate so many patients. There is a steady stream of diagnoses. If this continues, once the critical point is exceeded, it will be completely finished. The entire hospital's medical staff will be under the virus environment, and the probability of infection Rising. And if the medical staff are infected, this vicious circle opens, and the entire hospital will become a dead building."

Rochet's voice was anxious.

Since the outbreak of the virus, many medical staff have contracted and died, which has put a lot of psychological pressure on frontline medical staff.If there are other problems, I am afraid this virus will really get out of control.

The air fell into dead silence, and everyone except Roche and Matt was heavy.

After a long time, Matt spoke slowly.

"Co-sign the CDC to establish a centralized isolation area, so that it is convenient for management and does not have to be too scattered. Before there are special medicines, a single isolation of patients will not have any effect, but will only increase manpower and workload."

The other doctors nodded in agreement.

As one of the hardest-hit areas in the United Kingdom, the number of patients across the country has exceeded 5,000. This does not include those who have died and the number of patients who have died of violence. The number of people in isolation exceeds 150,000. This is only the number in the United Kingdom. In other hard-hit areas, Some are more terrifying.

The number of confirmed cases and deaths is rising every day, which is already a very dangerous number.

If the isolation point is out of control, it is truly a catastrophe.Centralized management of all patients is more convenient.There is currently no specific medicine for treatment, and even isolation alone will not be of much use.Under special circumstances, other issues can no longer be taken care of, otherwise the epidemic will get out of control and it will be even more terrifying.

The UK CDC announced the establishment of three centralized isolation areas to centrally isolate and manage all confirmed patients.

The news shocked the medical community.

The epidemic is almost out of control. If this continues, no one can guarantee that this disaster will bring a terrible ending.

Soon after the UK established a centralized isolation zone, other hardest-hit areas in Europe and the United States have also announced the establishment of centralized isolation points in the hard-hit areas, sending all confirmed patients into the isolation area, and centralized isolation and management by the military chemical defense forces.

At this time, the number of confirmed cases worldwide has reached 70,000, and the number of deaths is refreshing every day. There are as many as 2 million people in quarantine worldwide. Every time a patient is found, everyone who comes into contact with him will be isolated.

Under various strict restrictive measures, the crazy spread of the Ridman virus has begun to ease, but the death toll is also increasing.In the centralized isolation zone, people die, despair, and collapse every day.Some patients who are still sober, some choose to commit suicide and die with dignity.

The successive news made everyone feel heavy. If there is no special medicine, it means that all infected people will die. That would be a catastrophic number.
