Plague Doctor

"Many people in our medical department fell ill last night...so did Mr. Qin." Tang Zhifeng sighed.

Gu Jun frowned, his heart sank, and he felt a splitting pain. Professor Qin also...

"Mr. Qin's surgery has been scheduled for half an hour." Tang Zhifeng's eyes were slightly red. "Other people's surgeries will also be carried out at the same time. Ajun, you will be responsible for the removal steps."

"Oh." Gu Jun opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just nodded.

The current consensus of the medical department is that surgery should be performed as soon as the patient becomes ill. The earlier the surgery is performed, the less severe the atrophy of the nervous system will be.

Because there is currently no alternative to ordinary doctors for resection, Gu Jun has to do it.

A total of 25 internal staff became ill last night, and the epidemic has spread. Not only are there researchers who know the content of the dream, but there are also cases in the Bureau and Surgery Building that are not clear about it. It seems that as long as patients have been exposed to life and death, they may develop the disease, and the pathogenesis has been completely confused.

Moreover, the situation of Professor Qin and others seems to indicate that nightmare disease may have an incubation period. If it does not occur immediately, it does not mean that it will not occur.

Therefore, a depression enveloped the research center, and everyone lost the slightest chance of not panicking. No one knew whether the next patient would be them.

Not long after, Gu Jun got the list of the latest sick people, his face was sullen, and his heart sank into the abyss.

Zhou Jiaqiang, brother Qiang, also fell ill. Zhu Ruiwen, the surgeon in charge, also fell ill.

They all participated in the autopsy of the patient's body.

"Fuck, fuck..." Gu Jun murmured the frustration and restlessness in his heart.

Brother Qiang and Chief Zhu were both people who cared for and taught him a lot after he entered the Tianji Bureau. They were both kind and humorous, such good people...

And Professor Qin. But now, they fell one by one.

In such a complicated mood, Gu Jun walked into the special clean operating room dressed in sterile clothes and participated in the operation on Professor Qin.

This 60-year-old man was lying on the operating table. He had been given general anesthesia and local anesthesia of the glossopharyngeal nerve. His face was as haggard as if he had died.

The atmosphere in the operating room was silent, and everyone silently made incisions, separated myocutaneous flaps, and drilled skull holes for Professor Qin, and then Gu Jun performed the resection alone.

The moment the cutter wire ring popped out, Professor Qin also opened his cloudy old eyes. He could not move his lips to make a sound, but it was extremely weird. The mental shock wave still burst out, and it contained extremely penetrating power. strength.

Gu Jun just cut off one place and then the next resolutely.

After completing the resection on one side, he went from this operating room to that operating room to perform other people's resection steps.

Professor Qin, Brother Qiang, Chief Zhu, and other internal colleagues...

Seeing those familiar faces become sick and delirium, Gu Jun's heart became more and more restless.

How could it be possible, how could it be possible for everyone to be left alive like this...

In several other surgeries that afternoon, Gu Jun cooperated in performing an experimental method of surgery.

During the resection step, the surgeon wears a brainwave insulating helmet provided by the scientific research department. The surgeon only operates one side during the operation, and one or two assistants do the other side. Afterwards, the operator needs to rest and recuperate before performing the next operation, otherwise the risk of cerebral hemorrhage will increase.

After several operations, the doctors still felt uncomfortable when they suffered mental attacks, but they did not lose control and collapse. This method was barely feasible.

However, in the next step, Tianji Bureau will continue to develop specialized medical robots to complete the operation.

It was after four o'clock in the afternoon when all 25 operations were completed. Gu Jun left the operating room and rushed to the conference room in the psychology building.

Yao Shinian and Tang Zhifeng were all present, and Tong Ye participated via remote video.

"Ah Jun, thank you for your hard work." Although Yao Shinian didn't get sick, he was no less tired and haggard than others. "It's really hard for you to operate on Lao Qin and the others..."

Finding this temporary solution previously gave Yao Shinian and other emergency team members a boost, but now it has been doused by a basin of cold water. Last night, the epidemic broke out not only in the medical department, but also in the entire Dongzhou.

Moreover, when the new patient heard the number mentioned by the old man in the dream, it was still 12.

If the elderly need to accumulate energy before they can continue talking, how will the epidemic develop?

After the people from Dongzhou were evacuated, like wild beasts unable to find food, will the scope of the nightmare shift and spread?

"Commander Yao, we must take the initiative to take control of the situation." Gu Jun couldn't help but said, he was really fed up with being passive, fed up with familiar people dying.

Yao Shinian remained silent. Everyone has been taking the initiative to do things. It's not that they don't take the initiative, it's because they can't find new breakthroughs.

Now operations on these new patients pose another problem. Yao Shinian talked about this: "The medical department is short of manpower. All the waiting medical staff in the city will be involved, and some operations will be arranged to be performed in ordinary hospitals and medical schools."

Gu Jun knew that the so-called candidates refer to Professor Gu, Xu Hai, Senior Brother Zhang Lin and others. They have not had much contact with abnormal things, and their stress reactions may be more intense after being attacked mentally...

But he also knows that now every doctor in Dongzhou has to go into battle.

"Death together"? No, he shook his head, there will be a way, as long as the confusing information is restored to the truth...

He thought about the ghouls again and the system's abyss mission. What rewards would he get if he completed it? It must be helpful.

Unable to remain passive, Gu Jun said to himself: "I want to complete this mission."

Ghouls, graveyards, giant view…

There is still some information missing. He needs information. In this matter, there is a known link that is almost blank for him, Tong Ye's case back then.

In the past three days, whenever he asked, Tong Ye said that he would wait until he regained his energy first.

"Master Tong." Gu Jun looked at the conference screen at this time, "Tell me everything about your situation back then. We can't wait any longer."

On the screen, Tong Ye in the conference room at the headquarters became expressionless, and his voice was a little hoarse:

"I have kept it from you before because some of the information in this old case involves spells and some weird things... If people with high gnosis read it, the consequences are unpredictable, especially for people like you. I have to consider your condition and timing. But there is nothing I can do now."

Love the Plague Doctor.
