Chapter 9 Genetic Collapse Disorder
She didn’t know if it was Mu Jiao’s illusion, but when she woke up, she felt as if all the fatigue in her body had disappeared.
It was already dark on the planet at this time. Through the porthole on the top of the garbage truck's driver's seat, you could clearly see the stars in the sky of the planet.
After turning on the lights in the car, Mu Jiao got up to check on the two soldiers lying on the bed in the back.
Ever since leaving the sea of war, Mu Jiao would get up every half a day to give each of the two unconscious soldiers a nutrient solution.
They hadn't shown any signs of waking up in the past three days, as if they were about to faint. Fortunately, both of them were still breathing, otherwise Mu Jiao would have thought they were two corpses.
Now that they have arrived at the target planet, Mu Jiao finally has time to check on them, but finds that the two of them have no external injuries.
The two soldiers looked young, but according to interstellar age systems, they generally entered middle age after the age of 250. Therefore, Mu Jiao couldn't tell their exact ages based on their appearance alone.
They were wearing hospital gowns made of special materials. Mu Jiao didn't find any external injuries on them. After their breathing was normal, she thought for a while and decided to use the most primitive method to take their pulses. After all, there was no treatment device at the moment, so this was the only way.
But after all, she only attended college for a few years in her previous life and changed her career after graduation. Mu Jiao didn't have much hope for her pulse-taking skills.
However, when she put her hand on the pulse of one of the soldiers, Mu Jiao seemed to feel a bone-chilling chill through his meridians through his beating pulse, which made Mu Jiao, who was originally sitting on the stool, jump up suddenly.
Was she just losing her mind? Why did she feel this way?
It was so strange. Mu Jiao rubbed her hands and prepared to try again.
As a result, the second and third time, it was true. The more she tried, the clearer Mu Jiao felt.
Now she could truly feel the soldier's meridians filled with an icy chill. It wasn't an illusion. Who could tell her what was going on?
Mu Jiao changed hands to another soldier and continued to take his pulse. This soldier was different from the previous one. Mu Jiao felt as if there were countless blades in the meridians in his head, which were scratching every meridian in his head all the time.
Mu Jiao repeatedly took the pulses of the two people and found that as long as she pressed their beating pulses, she could feel the sensations transmitted in their meridians.
Mu Jiao also tried her own pulse. Different from the feeling conveyed by the meridians of the two soldiers, the feeling conveyed to Mu Jiao by her meridians was warm and comfortable.
Mu Jiao felt painful in the meridians of the two soldiers. One felt icy cold, and the other felt pain scraping through the bones.
Mu Jiao thought that this might be the reason why the two of them were unconscious. A normal person's meridians should feel comfortable and warm like hers.
What Mu Jiao didn't know was that these two soldiers were critically ill patients who were transferred to the medical room in the first hall after their talents were seriously injured on the front battlefield.
After the warship was attacked by a particle cannon, the two men were transferred to the lobby service area by logistics soldiers, and then assigned to Mu Jiao's garbage truck.
The reason why these two people were unconscious without any external injuries was a precursor to genetic collapse syndrome.
Symptoms of genolysis: Patients usually remain in a deep coma for five to seven days before regaining consciousness.
"Gene collapse syndrome" is a terminal illness in which the innate power is severely damaged, resulting in the collapse of mental power, which in turn affects the gene chain and causes the human body's gene chain to gradually break.
Currently, all high-tech treatments in the interstellar space are ineffective against gene collapse syndrome. The only means to alleviate gene collapse syndrome is the light-based talent power.
The light-based talent is not aggressive, but can cure diseases by emitting a special white light. It is hailed by interstellar humans as a "walking therapeutic device."
Light-related talents are cultivated through training. Some humans with powerful light-related talents have healing abilities that are faster and more perfect than the most advanced healing devices.
However, even with such a powerful light-based talent, it is impossible to cure the terminal illness of gene collapse syndrome. Often, the broken gene chain will be broken again in about a week after the last treatment. Moreover, the effect of the treatment will become less and less, and the cycle of gene chain breakage will become shorter and shorter.
Once diagnosed with gene collapse disorder, if there is no external intervention, the disease will last for a maximum of five years and the patient will die from the rupture of all genetic chains throughout the body. This is when the patient does not use his innate power. Otherwise, the life cycle will be even shorter, and there may even be cases of sudden death due to the use of his innate power.
Of course, if there is a healer with light talent to provide relief treatment, you can survive for ten to fifteen years.
However, during this period, patients will have to endure various severe physical pain manifestations caused by genetic collapse from time to time, and the symptoms of each patient are different.
For example, some people will experience severe brain pain from time to time, some will experience pain all over the body, and some will experience severe coughs, high fevers, etc. These can only be endured by the patients themselves, and the symptoms will become more and more severe in the later stages of the disease. There are many people who commit suicide during the illness because they cannot bear the occasional severe pain.
