Chapter 198 Infection

Almost everyone on the second floor of the No. 3 Medical Center was awakened. In the room on the west side, the man had fallen off the bed. The medical staff who rushed over found that he was hitting his legs with something.

Every time he hit, blood and flesh flew up, and every time he hit, he would let out a painful and distorted wail. But even in such pain, he still hit his legs, as if he had seen something terrible, with horror in his eyes and a frightened face.

The injured who were originally nearby hid in another part of the room with the help of their family members. The father of the little girl who was originally unconscious in the afternoon also woke up. Their bed was the farthest away from that side. At this moment, the family of three were curled up on the bed, and the father stretched out his arms wrapped in gauze to protect the mother and daughter.

Everyone in the room was watching the scene in front of them in shock. Even the medical staff who had been dealing with various injured people every day were shocked by this horrific and bloody scene. They stepped forward to stop it, but they could not stop the man who had already fallen into a state of madness.

Finally, the night watch team rushed in and subdued the man. The medical staff took out sedatives and forced him to stop his self-mutilation.

The headlights in the room were turned on, and the others discovered the abnormality on his leg.

The team members looked at the other party's flesh and blood that was still twisting and wriggling after he fainted, and hurriedly stopped other people from approaching. The people who had been staying in the building didn't know much, but everyone in the army knew the state of the blood-red soft body and the blood bubble man. The appearance of the man's leg now was very similar to the state of those things.

"Notify the captain immediately!" A team member began to arrange in an orderly manner, "Everyone in the room stays where they are and don't move - including medical staff. Anyone who has just come into contact with blood must be checked, especially those who have wounds."

"What is this? Is it contagious?" A wounded person who was nearby asked with a trembling voice.

"Don't panic, it's just a routine check. As long as you cooperate with the check, you will be fine. We are also included in the people who need to be checked."

Hearing the other party say that they will also be checked, the other people in the room let go of their tension a little.

However, just as another team member notified the captain, he heard the terrified shouts of others coming from upstairs again, mixed with intermittent syllables: "Blood... blood... it's moving..."

Several team members looked at each other and their hearts sank.

This is not an isolated incident.

That night, in several medical centers, a total of five people had unknown changes in their wounds. In addition, two people who were slightly injured in the ice blade attack and returned to their respective shelters to rest also showed severe pain and changes in their flesh and blood.

The troops vacated and renovated a building close to the medical center and the scientific research center overnight to isolate the mutated injured. At present, the medical staff are helpless in dealing with this kind of change and the pain reaction of the injured, and can only temporarily comfort the injured by injecting a large amount of sedatives.

In addition, all the people who were injured in the ice blade incident, whether they were seriously injured or lightly injured, cut by the ice blade or injured by other building debris, were all arranged to be placed in the same medical center, where they were first drawn for blood tests and then monitored in separate rooms.

Once someone shows a new mutation, they will be immediately taken away for isolation, and their family members will also have to undergo a full-body examination before they can be released back to their original residence.

The little girl who had close contact with the first mutated man was also temporarily left in the medical center because of a scratch on her palm.

Her mother had no wounds and had no contact with the other party. After a full-body examination, she was asked to return to the building where she lived first.

The mother looked at her husband and daughter who were under surveillance and couldn't stop crying.

"Don't be afraid, mom, Dad and Yinyin will be fine. I will take good care of Dad here." The girl, Yinyin, was not afraid because she could stay with her father.

The child didn't understand the complicated situation. She only knew that her father had woken up and she could still stay in the medical center to accompany him. This was enough.

Some children are not strong-minded. Perhaps they just feel safe because they have family around them.

The next day, all the injured who had been in close contact with the mutants or stayed in the same room were checked and all of them were no longer in the red light status, which naturally included Yinyin and her father.

Although the two still have to stay in the medical center for a few days of monitoring and observation, this result finally made other adults who knew the seriousness of the matter put down their hearts.

At the same time, the research team has accepted this incident. It is obvious that the changes in the wounds of the victims are obviously related to the previous blood-red software.

Knowing that the software incident has not passed, the researchers don’t know whether to be happy or sad. This means that their previous day and night research work is not in vain, but it also means that the people will encounter new hardships.

"This mutation is an infection. Currently, all the people who have undergone mutations were patients who were previously cut by the ice blade. In addition, various examinations have ruled out patients who were injured for other reasons."

"So it's a problem with the ice?"

"Yes, we have analyzed the composition of the ice blade. After melting, we found flesh and blood tissue remains and other unknown components in the form of gray dust. Some of the cell characteristics of those flesh and blood tissue remains are consistent with the previous blood-red soft tissue, but there are some new changes."

The researcher's words shocked everyone at the conference table: "So, you mean that the red lotus soft tissue has evolved again!?"

"No, just like last time, the word evolution cannot be used. The blood-red soft tissues rely on gray mist to survive, but they are afraid of low temperatures. This drop in temperature almost killed them all - at least the flesh and blood remains found after the ice blade melted were completely dead. But this may be another self-change and obedience they made in the face of crisis. This unknown creature has characteristics that we don't understand at all..."

"So, is he dead or alive?"

The researcher hadn't slept for two nights and was very tired. He sighed and continued, "We can't be sure about this, because not all patients who were cut by the ice blade will show abnormal conditions. Some people's wounds are normal and have even begun to recover, but some people's conditions, you have seen it yourself... The flesh and blood in the injured area have been infected and mutated, and the blood-red soft tissue is like it has been reactivated in the human body.

We can't tell for the time being . It is hard to judge whether it is the difference in physique that causes the mutation and non-mutation, or some other reason. But the Red Lotus Soft was indeed resurrected through the human body after the ice blade cut through the human body. Just like hibernating animals, there are many species in this world that have stronger biological characteristics than humans. We humans have always been the most vulnerable race..."

Having talked about this point, the troops knew that there would be no results if they continued to investigate, so they changed direction: "What about the treatment method? Those who have been infected and mutated, can they still be saved?"

"At present, the two things that Red Lotus Soft fear are gray fog and low temperature, but neither of them can completely kill them, and the human body cannot withstand the sub-zero temperature. Therefore, the only way to try to save them now is: amputation."

"What!?"

"At present, the infection mutation only occurs near the wound. Amputation may stop or temporarily delay the infection. This is the only way to try."

Someone thought of something and asked with a pale face: "What about those wounds on the trunk?"

The other party paused for a long time before speaking: "Infected and mutated wounds will cause great pain. It is recommended to inject painless injections."

Painless injections, euthanasia injections.

The conference room of the command center fell into silence.

At dusk that day, the military command center broadcast a general notice that all military personnel and civilians would be relocated one day later. The relocation destination was inside a mountain 200 kilometers away. There were strong defenses there, and neither the gray fog nor the ice blades nor the low temperature could invade the interior.

The military would later establish an internal communication network platform to announce the various procedures and details of the relocation, hoping that people with and without mobile phones could help each other and communicate with each other.

**

You Xi naturally heard this notice.

With her hearing ability, she not only heard the broadcast notice at the foot of the mountain, but also the screams of fear and pain of the injured on the night when the infection mutation occurred.

Because there was no relevant information on the Internet, the next day, she put on her polar cold-proof gear and planned to leave the villa to go to the foot of the mountain to inquire about the situation.

She originally planned to go alone, but it was obvious that the men in the villa would not let her go alone.

"Just to get some information, there is no gray fog outside, and there are no ice blades."

Jian Shou and Xi Yuan were already quickly putting on their cold-proof clothes and ignored what she said.

Youxi had a headache and turned to look at Heimu: "Who is the boss of this family?"

Heimu handed the polar equipment to Jian Shou and Xiyuan and helped them put it on, while speaking slowly: "Master, of course it's you."

Youxi: ...

"Just let them follow, otherwise we won't feel safe staying here." Even Yan Shang, who rarely spoke, spoke up.

In the end, Youxi could only nod, but Xing Min, she would never let him follow. He had to consume energy every day to repair his constantly deteriorating body. His complexion had never been better and he was always sick.

Youxi: It's too cold outside. Your energy is precious, so save it if you can. You are not allowed to follow!

[...I'm not that weak.]

Youxi: I don't care, you stay anyway!

[……]

Youxi: Okay, it's decided. Don't let me worry about you too much. Don't worry, I will call you if there is anything.

[…………] After

using both soft and hard tactics, Xingmin finally stayed.

But when he stood at the window and saw Youxi walking quickly down the mountain accompanied by two tall figures, he felt disgusted for the first time in his heart about his weak state after entering the mission world. With

such a weak and incompetent body, it was impossible for him to be by her side and protect her all the time.

Youxi and the other two put on masks, goggles and hats, without even showing their eyes. She took the two of them to the medical center and the vicinity of the shelter building. Although she could not enter the medical center, with her hearing, she could hear the conversation inside clearly even if she just stood nearby.

After more than half an hour, she found out the whole story and returned to the villa with Jian Shou and Xi Yuan.

Afterwards, she called everyone to a small meeting and explained the infection and mutation that occurred after the ice blade cut. The key point for them to pay attention to was: they must not stay outdoors when the ice blade occurs, and they must not let the ice blade cut themselves!

Although infection and mutation are not 100% likely to occur, they cannot gamble on this probability.

That day, when the military radio announced the plan of full transfer, the six people in Youxi were having dinner.

Recently, under the leadership of Hei Mu, everyone has been working hard to make a lot of fresh ingredients into cooked food every day in addition to physical training and fighting training. At present, the amount of cooked food that can be taken out and eaten directly in the warehouse of Youxi Xingwu has reached a very gratifying amount.

At this stage, no one has any doubts about the "unused" fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, eggs, milk... in the villa refrigerator and storage freezer.

There are some things that everyone knows.

But this person is the one they want to protect, so the more capable she is, the more reassured they are.

Tonight we are having fish hot pot, with fresh black fish slices and fish bone and pork bone soup as the base.

Hei Mu's knife skills are very good, the fish slices are crystal clear, and each slice has no fish bones. Put it into the boiled milky white soup and it can be eaten as soon as it is boiled.

He also cut two silver carp heads, split them open and marinated them, and made chopped pepper fish head and spicy dry pot fish head, and paired them with beef, mutton, and various fresh vegetables. It was a delicious and rich meal.

Even Xing Min, who always loved fruits and vegetables, ate a lot of black fish slices.

When he heard the news of the transfer, Xiyuan looked up at Youxi: "The troops are going to transfer, and this time they are going to a very far place. What about us? Will we continue to stay here?"

"We will transfer sooner or later." Youxi remembered the random task that the system had just released this morning, and was mentally prepared to leave the villa.

"Then should we go on our own, or..."

"Let's go with the troops. If there's any problem on the road, we can still help. If we can't take care of ourselves, we can leave." Youxi looked at the people in front of her, "Is this arrangement okay?" The

four servants nodded at her.

"Okay."

"Everything is up to you."

Youxi looked at Xing Min.

He glanced at her.
