Chapter 7373
In 3357, the Beifeng District scientific expedition team discovered a batch of frozen capsules at a ruined site in the wasteland and thawed out more than a dozen virus carriers.
After resuscitation treatment at the First Research Institute in Beifeng District, three virus carriers among the dozen or so frozen chambers were successfully awakened.
Two of the numbers are A3223-02-068 and A3233-13-023. The letters represent the area code, and the numbers behind them represent the freezing time, freezing batch, and freezing number.
There is another one, whose cold storage cabin number is 002.
There is no area code, batch, or freezing time, only a serial number at the front.
The technology for freezing virus carriers began more than 300 years ago and has gradually matured, and freezing chambers have also been updated and upgraded.
More than a hundred years ago, after the mutant frenzy disaster in 3207, the seven habitable areas were divided and rebuilt. From that time on, all the cryopods had more detailed batch numbers.
Like A3223-02-068 and A3233-13-023.
The cold storage compartment numbers before this were more complicated and confusing, but a simple number like 002 was unprecedented.
What is even more shocking is that the virus activity of the person in the freezer is incredibly high, and he is suspected to be a carrier of the original virus.
The First Research Institute of Beifeng District read through historical records, compared all recorded data, and combined with the memories of No. 002 after waking up, and finally determined that the No. 002 cryochamber was the first batch of virus carriers frozen in the Beizheng Base in the early days of the apocalypse.
No. 002, whose name is Wen Jiuze, was posthumously awarded the colonel-level military rank by the Beizheng Base officials in 3060.
In 3085, all his secret experimental information and data were put into top-secret files and sealed.
The director of the institute at that time sealed the cryostat with the highest authority and no longer allowed future generations to thaw and conduct research.
Afterwards, the Beizheng Base disintegrated, mutant animal disasters broke out, and No. 002, including a large number of different batches of freezers stored in the Beizheng Base at that time, were lost in the chaos.
Then in 3357, people dug out No. 002, miraculously reviving this "antique" that had been sleeping for more than 300 years.
Although virus carriers awakening in cryogenic chambers are not uncommon today, and there have been some that have remained dormant for a hundred years, the awakening of 002 still seems like an incredible miracle.
In order to protect him, 002's information was classified as confidential again.
Another ten years passed, and the time came to 3367.
In Jinghai District, which ranks last among the seven livable areas, the district's scientific research team discovered the remains of a secret laboratory in the ruins.
"There are still several freezers in operation here!"
"Look at the serial number, G3289-24-099. This row of numbers are all regular numbers. The anti-counterfeiting code at the back also matches. It was lost before."
"Test the virus activity... zero, no hope, these can't be revived even if they are thawed."
"Captain, there is a freezer at the very back of this room, but it has no number."
Cold storage compartments without numbers are usually not frozen by the government, but are frozen privately by the public. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Through the translucent window of the freezing chamber, the research team members saw the virus carriers inside the freezing chamber. Their bodies were thinner than any they had seen before and had completely deteriorated.
"It's been frozen for how long and it's become like this... There's probably no need to thaw it. The virus activity must be zero and it can't be revived." said a team member.
The captain said, "Let's test it. We still have to go through the process."
A team member took out the machine, opened the freezer, and placed the instrument on the brain.
"Oh my god! Captain, look, her virus is so active!"
"It has reached the standard for resurrection. Take it back."
…
After a long sleep that was too long to describe, she opened her eyes.
There was a blurry shadow swaying in front of my eyes.
"She has successfully awakened... Let's check her functions first..."
"Speak...name..."
As she listened to these voices, her brain was unable to receive any information for a moment, and someone kept asking her repetitive questions.
"Name, your name, do you remember it?"
Name? She tried to grasp something from her empty mind, and finally moved her lips and uttered two barely audible words: "Xiaoxiao."
"Really? Your name is Xiaoxiao? Do you remember your age? When were you born? When were you frozen?"
She understood it for a long time, but at this moment she was like a pauper with empty pockets. No matter how hard she searched, she couldn't take out anything.
Someone next to me comforted me, "It's okay, this is only temporary. You may have been frozen for too long. Many frozen people are like this when they just wake up. After two more rounds of treatment, you will remember."
She listened to the gentle female voice beside her ear, slowly lowered her head to look at her hands, and uttered "ah" in a daze.
"Don't worry, the virus in your body is very active, and your resurrection will be very good. You can recover to a normal appearance."
"Don't worry, your brain has just been turned on, let's give it some time to wake up..."
She felt very sleepy again, nodded slowly, turned her head to the side and fell asleep again.
Dr. Jian, who was in charge of her, left the special ward and returned to the office.
Someone asked her, "Dr. Kan, how is your thawed patient doing today?"
"He is awake, but he is still in a state of confusion. He can't remember anything and can't communicate normally. I'm afraid he will need two more rounds of treatment."
Doctor Jian said, "The medical conditions in Jinghai District are not as good as those in other districts. The First Research Institute in District A is the best at developing this kind of resuscitation technology."
My colleague laughed, "Everyone knows that the technology there is the best, but not all cryonicists are qualified to be sent there. I heard that yours doesn't even have a cryochamber number. Our district's research institute confiscated it and sent it directly to our hospital."
"Doctor Jian is kind-hearted and willing to treat this patient. But let me be frank. If the resuscitation fails, no one will pay for her treatment, and Doctor Jian will suffer a great loss."
Doctor Jian: "I think she is still very young, about the same age as my child. I will try my best to help her."
"How do you calculate the age of the virus carrier in the freezer, Dr. Jane? She may be several decades older than you."
Many people in the office laughed.
In the past, when they had not yet conquered the zombie virus, several districts had frozen the infected on a large scale, and the peak of thawing was only a few decades ago.
Now everyone is used to it.
In recent years, the number of such finds has become less and less, with only a few cases appearing each year, and all of them are the escaped fish that have been dug out from some ruins.
Those infected people who have been thawed and awakened are now called undead by many people.
After thawing, they use instruments to activate the viruses in the body, and combined with drugs, they can reshape the body. The process is like both metamorphosis and resurrection of a corpse, so this treatment is called "resurrection."
The resurrected usually return to the age when their bodies were frozen and no longer age. They have iron bodies and extraordinary strength, and rely on regular injections of active cells from special viruses to maintain life.
It sounds amazing, but not all resurrected people will have a good life. If the "resurrection" is unsuccessful and their bodies cannot reach the ideal state, more precious medicines will be needed for secondary repair.
For example, the patient that Dr. Jian treated couldn't find out his identity, and the Jinghai District Research Institute would not thaw him for free. Their resurrection technology is not good, so they might owe a large sum of medical fees in the future.
Dr. Jian was also worried about this two days ago, but today, when she got the virus data of the thawed person, a new idea came to her mind.
Dr. Jian had performed resuscitation treatments before and had come into contact with a lot of physical data of virus carriers, but she had never seen anything so strange.
Perhaps, she could send this data to the First Research Institute in Beifeng District. District A has the most thorough research on viruses. Perhaps because of this abnormal data, they would be willing to provide resuscitation treatment to this patient free of charge.
Of course it would be better to work in Area A than here.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you today? I have good news for you. The Beifeng District Research Institute has decided to admit you. They will come to pick you up soon."
The frozen man called Xiaoxiao was still in a daze, not knowing whether he understood or not, and placed his dry hand on hers.
Dr. Kan said, "Don't worry, you are a lucky child, they will make you completely well."
"I don't know what year you were frozen and how long you were frozen, but you have managed to hold on until now, and everything will go well from now on."
Beifeng District is ranked first among the seven districts. It has the largest area, the most advanced technology, and everything that is cutting-edge.
The First Research Institute received the test report sent by Dr. Jian tentatively and sent an airship to pick him up that day.
No one knew how excited they were. Since the data report of 002 ten years ago, they once again saw that special mutated virus that only appeared in 002!
Could this be another virus carrier who survived from the early days of the apocalypse?
During this period, Xiaoxiao's memory was not clear. She only knew that she seemed to have moved to another place.
The new place is very big and there are more people around us.
She underwent a round of resurrection treatment here, and her mind finally became clearer. She was able to think completely, and many memories appeared in her empty mind.
She thought back to her childhood, when she spent little time with her mother and lived with her uncle.
Reminds me of my school days.
I remember meeting Wen Jiuze.
Thinking of the end of the world, she turned into a zombie.
Reunited with Wen Jiuze, met his mother again, spent the winter in a village, Beizheng Base...
"Xiaoxiao, how do you feel now? This resurrection treatment will allow you to recover many of your body functions. Do you want to try walking now?" someone asked.
"..." Xue Ling sat up from the treatment bed and slowly stepped onto the ground.
The two doctors in white coats around her gave her encouraging looks and praised her: "Xiaoxiao is amazing, you have recovered very well."
Hearing the sound of "Xiaoxiao", Xue Ling was silent.
That's right, she remembered that her name didn't seem to be Xiaoxiao.
"I, resurrected, in a cryopod." Xue Ling tried to organize the words.
"Now, how about other freezers like me?"
They figured out her question: "You mean, what's the status of the freezer you found with me?"
"Your cryopod was discovered in the Tranquil Sea. We have contacted the research team there, and they said that the frozen people in the cryopods that were discovered at the same time as yours have no chance of waking up."
Xue Ling sat there, looking at everything unfamiliar around her, raised her dry arms, and involuntarily wrapped them around herself.
"Wen Jiuzhe." She called out the name unconsciously.
I felt a sense of emptiness, and a belated sadness was pouring into me.
Suddenly, someone nearby asked in confusion: "Did Xiaoxiao just shout 'Wen Jiuze'?"
"Wen Jiuzhe, is that the Wen Jiuzhe?"
"No way, they know each other? Are they really from the same period?!"
"I said, I compared thousands of data, and their data are the most similar, and different from everyone else's! There must be some connection!"
Xue Ling's sadness was interrupted by these exciting voices.
Why do they all seem to know Wen Jiutie?
"Xiaoxiao, have you remembered what your full name is?" a middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of expectation.
Xue Ling leaned back and said, "Xue Ling, the bell is a bell..."
Before she finished speaking, people around her began to cheer, cry with joy, and hug each other happily.
Someone covered his mouth and said, "Oh my God, you are Xue Ling!"
"She is that Xue Ling!"
"We found you!"
"Great, great, our hard times are over!"
“No more being sent to the wasteland to dig up ruins every time I have a holiday!”
"It's been ten years. Ten years! I am forced to collect so much cold chamber data every year. This is not my job at all!"
"It's not my job to go around all seven districts searching for freezers!"
Xue Ling moved uneasily: "Huh?"
"Do you know Wen Jiuzhe?"
The room was quiet for a moment, and then a middle-aged man touched his bald spot and said viciously: "I know him! Of course I know him! Who among us doesn't know him!"
Another middle-aged man wiped his red eyes and said, "He tortured me for several years. Even if I forget my girlfriend, I will never forget him!"
Xue Ling: “…”
