Chapter 576: Meet the referee?
Uncle Wang ran very fast.
This scene... wow, back then the red nematodes just drilled around, but this parasite goes straight into the flesh.
This is actually the parasite's last resort for reproduction and survival.
Uncle Wang yelled, "Run! In times of crisis, the old parasites transfer all their nutrients to the new larvae, protecting them so they can find a new host. If the host has the genes, they can reproduce and survive. If not, the larvae can live for a day or two."
In other words, when a bug is anxious, it will bite people indiscriminately and will burrow into any living thing it catches.
Soon, Song Bin fell into the trap.
"Ah! Ah! Help, help! Kill these bugs! They're drilling into my flesh, it hurts! It hurts so much!"
But no one told him that the parasites burrowed directly into human flesh! What happened to the promise not to actively parasitize?
The thought of thousands of insects drilling into his body made Song Bin terrified. He rolled on the ground with tears and snot. Although he was wearing protective clothing, parasites that had entered through openings such as the warehouse pipes and wrists were still burrowing into his flesh frantically. The blood attracted the larvae around him.
This alarmed many people around the crematorium, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.
Uncle Wang in the distance secretly said "Oh no!" This parasite exploded and drilled around everywhere, causing great trouble. Although it would not infect and reproduce, it was extremely difficult to deal with. He glared at Jingshu. This little girl would always cause trouble for him, but he did not regret it. It was because he was addicted to smoking.
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, push the bodies in and burn them first, then call the R&D and Epidemic Prevention Department next door to come and treat the injured, and get the latest developed insecticide." The old man shouted from afar.
Jingshu raised her eyebrows and put the spray back in her hand. She didn't expect that the R&D and Epidemic Prevention Department of the Capital City had moved here. Well, this place has the most sources of infection, which makes R&D more convenient.
Well, let’s first see what level the R&D department’s medicine has reached.
According to the information Jingshu had gathered, the purpose of this imperial capital competition was to concentrate a large amount of medicinal resources to continue the research and development and production of this type of medicine.
The crematorium was familiar with the process. The professionals, who were in complete isolation, quickly pushed the body in for cremation, cleaned up the scene, and cleared up any traces. However, no one noticed that there were no parasites around the little girl not far from Song Bin.
At this moment, a large number of "astronauts" suddenly poured into the crematorium. The leader among them laughed heartily:
"Old Wang! I told you that you are a timely rain. You come to me just when I am about to sleep and you bring the pillow closer. Which kid has been eaten by a bug? We just need some fresh research material without B gene. Come on, take it away quickly." He couldn't wait.
Uncle Wang ran up and said enthusiastically, "Hey, Minister Zhao, why did you come here in person? This is also an accident, an accident. It's just perfect to have you handle it. Thank you very much for your help." He wiped his sweat. Last time he accidentally caused the bug to explode, he was severely scolded.
Song Bin was lying on the ground screaming and didn't care about anything. He was soon carried away.
"Uncle Wang, these two cigarettes are for you. I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused today. I'll secretly give this bag of fried rice to the deceased's family when I have the chance. I'll have Song Bin verify this later."
"Hey, it's just a small matter. I will definitely do it and supervise you at any time!" Uncle Wang couldn't stop smiling. This was such a good deal. The cigarettes were top quality. Two cigarettes could be exchanged for a temporary job. It was just right to get his daughter-in-law in so that she could have half a meal every day.
After Jingshu finished speaking, she followed a group of people to the temporary R&D and epidemic prevention department next door, and chatted with Minister Zhao on the way.
The conditions in the temporary iron house were very simple, but it wasn't cold at all thanks to the crematorium. The key point was that it didn't feel cold even with dozens of people standing nearby.
"The material has arrived! It's really timely. Minister Zhao was just thinking about testing the bug himself, but he didn't expect someone else to get bitten."
"Even Minister Zhao has come out in person? Why are they so anxious? However, the parasite's genes have been shared and upgraded, and research can't keep up with the insect's evolution."
"Isn't that nonsense? That man's grandson is hanging on to his life with Bodhi every day, waiting for the development of an antidote. How can he not be anxious?"
"Not entirely, the consequences of Guan Jiao are very serious now."
"Shh, it's starting!"
Jing Shu frowned. Using Bodhi to keep her alive? Couldn't Bodhi completely cure her?
Song Bin was carried to the bed, stripped, and held down. Minister Zhao drew with a pen and a knife, "Actually, if someone without the B gene is infested by worms, the larvae will die in a day or two. But this guy foolishly stood near the worm explosion. Now he's been burrowed by at least tens of thousands of larvae. Look at the blood vessels squirming. In an hour or so, they'll reach his internal organs. If we leave it alone, a lot of internal organs will be eaten, and it might even cause heavy bleeding."
When Song Bin heard this, he started to tremble with fear.
"Alright, now inject the newly developed drugs into the limbs and keep records. Clinical trial specimens are very important."
Song Bin opened his mouth for a long time, speechless. Was he mistaken? Was he being treated as a test subject? He, he was just here to accompany Miss Jing to see a corpse!
Soon, Minister Zhao and several others used signal pens to divide Song Bin's various parts into zones from 1 to 10.
As the reactions of several medicines were evaluated after being injected into different parts of the body, Minister Zhao shook his head with some regret. It was obvious that the results were not satisfactory.
Jingshu became even more confused.
At this moment, Song Bin suddenly hugged his leg and screamed heart-wrenchingly. The wound on his foot festered and oozed pus at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a large number of larvae corpses were flushed out.
"It was Drug No. 1 that caused the violent reaction. It seems to be effective, but the side effects are a bit too severe."
Minister Zhao personally took charge, cutting open the pus-filled flesh with a knife and placing it into the testing equipment. He then nodded and said, "Combined with that special energy source, it can eliminate 80% of the parasites and greatly inhibit the spread of larvae. It can be used on moderately ill patients to relieve stress and at least prevent the host from exploding."
Jing Shu couldn't help but ask Minister Zhao, "Minister Zhao, didn't they say that extracting Bodhi can cure parasites?"
Minister Zhao nodded. "Bodhi is the main medicinal ingredient. Combined with other herbs, it can eliminate 85% of the parasites and inhibit their reproduction. However, as long as they are not completely eliminated, it will be useless. Furthermore, the parasites share genes... Forget it, you don't understand this."
Minister Zhao smiled wryly, "The most important thing is that Bodhi is almost extinct, and the stockpile is almost gone. This has such a huge side effect that we are looking for a replacement."
At this time, Team Leader Liu next to him comforted him, "Minister, the Imperial Capital has already held a medicinal herb competition, and a large amount of precious medicinal herbs have been shipped in. Didn't we mention it a few days ago when we were reviewing the big data that a medicinal herb association had even planted a large amount of them? They've all been brought in this time too. We'll be the judges this afternoon, so we can check out the situation. We don't want any bad Bodhi herbs."
Jingshu raised an eyebrow. Referee? She hadn't even started the game yet and she was already meeting him.
Minister Zhao also laughed when talking about this. It was good news after all. He looked at Song Bin and said, "Young man, just hold on for a day or two. The side effects of this medicine are too great." The key is that it is too expensive.
