Chapter 38: Red and white flags, an accident happened!
The carrot and stick approach has always been a tried and tested approach.
The two brothers, Cole and Hull, did not dare to move and trotted to squat beside Ram.
At least there is a possibility of survival in the isolation chamber, but if Cheng Ye kills me as an infected person now, I will be helpless.
"grown ups..."
"Shut up!"
When Ximo noticed Cheng Ye coming over, he just opened his mouth but was ruthlessly interrupted by Cheng Ye.
"You have to endure whatever I'm going to do next, or else go to quarantine, understand?"
“I understand, I understand!”
Realizing that there was hope of survival, Simo's tired eyes suddenly brightened and became more lively.
Unlike the central main checkpoint, only the temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate of the surviving refugees are measured. Any abnormal data will be directly isolated or expelled.
Most of the people passing through the rapid checkpoint are residents of Xingfu City. In order to balance efficiency and accuracy, additional detection equipment is also equipped.
Cheng Ye raised his hand and swiped his ID badge across the black box on the table.
Click.
The lock popped open, revealing two brand-new instruments that the inspector rarely used, a scalpel, and a metal tray.
Vital sign dual-modality detector.
Corrosion light metabolism detector.
The former can be used for handheld imaging, and the screen behind the body can present a rough image of the subject's body in real time.
The latter specializes in wound detection: when illuminated by a light source of a specific wavelength, the infected area will emit fluorescence visible to the naked eye.
If it matches the internal infection source data, the fluorescence will show a glaring red light; if it does not match, it will show a normal green light.
It sounds useful, but why is it new?
The answer is actually very simple, there is no need.
There are nearly 300 people detained in the isolation warehouse in Quarantine Area A. Although there are infected people inside, at least more than 95% of them are fine. Otherwise, who would dare to run out and take the risk?
However, few inspectors are willing to take responsibility. When encountering abnormal data and unclear reasons, rather than checking step by step, everyone tends to directly determine it as a high risk of infection and put it in an isolation chamber for a while.
Whether they could get out alive was never a consideration for them.
Even if explanation is needed, there are ready-made explanations:
We are considering the hundreds of thousands of people in the buffer zone. We can't let hundreds of thousands of people take risks just for you, right?
"Can you still move?"
"able!"
"Follow my instructions and turn your body."
The so-called dual modality refers to the microfocus CT module and the photoacoustic imaging module.
Cheng Ye had never seen it in modern times, and this was the first time it was used.
However, as far as the displayed images are concerned, they are indeed quite clear, only slightly inferior to the films taken in the hospital.
On the screen, a three-dimensional model of a gray man rotated back and forth, with a faint red warning light on his right leg.
After internal processing and magnification, the muscle fibers at the bite mark were torn radially, and the tissue erosion at the edge of the wound showed large low-density shadows, like a sponge corroded by strong acid.
As for other parts of the body, they are all round or irregular high-density shadows, which are the characteristic morphology of bleeding foci due to the high density of hemoglobin.
"No problem... It's just this one bite wound, the rest are just bruises and scrapes."
Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
The narrative logic is fine, and the focus of infection detection falls on the wound manifestation.
Now that there is only one wound on the leg, the possibility of infection is immediately much smaller.
After all, as Brother B said, the infected body's attacks are never regular. Once it catches a target, it will pounce on it like a mad dog and will never focus on just one part.
On the decay light metabolism detector!
A faint green light source was shone onto the leg wound, which soon showed up as green fluorescence, with no red light visible.
This represents the injury caused by an infected attack.
The infected body could only be like the rotten vines, and had never been registered in the database of Happy City.
The probability is even smaller.
"There's one last step. I'm going to cut a piece of your flesh. Can you handle it?"
"What?"
Seamus froze for a moment, then an expression of uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his face.
What did he hear?
The last process?
Oh my God, is this prosecutor an angel sent by God?
"My lord, you can cut it as you like. It's okay to cut this leg. I can hold on!"
"It's not that exaggerated. Just a small piece will do."
Cheng Ye forced a smile, but it was not to ease Ximo's mood, but to ease his own tension.
He was not in a hurry when shooting the infected body, because he knew in his heart that the other party was no longer human.
The subconscious mind treats it as a monster, which is no different from hitting a wooden stake.
But now he had to operate on a living person, which still made him a little inexplicably scared.
Fortunately, the scalpel in the box was extremely sharp. Cheng Ye found the edge of the wound and gently scratched it, cutting off a piece of flesh the size of a little finger egg.
And surprisingly, Ximo had no expression at all, which made Cheng Ye secretly amazed.
Awesome.
If this happened to the brothers from the boy band "Candy Super Sweet", they would probably be howling for miles now.
"Raven, take this piece of flesh and blood to be tested for a match with the source of infection, as soon as possible!"
"Understood, sir!"
While the four were being examined, Raven and Owl were actually already waiting outside the isolation door.
Judging from the observers' perspective, Cheng Ye's behavior was quite incomprehensible to them. There was no need to go through so much trouble for a few ordinary people.
But if they were to look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, they would feel complicated and would not know how to comment for a moment.
We could only speed up and send it to the laboratory building in Area E of the checkpoint for matching.
Time passes by every second.
More than ten minutes later, Raven came back and passed a note in through the isolation door.
"Any questions?"
Cheng Ye frowned slightly, took it and saw that it said normal.
Then he realized that this observer was really smart. If he shouted it out so that the three people could hear it, it would undoubtedly steal the limelight from him as the inspector. Letting Cheng Ye announce it himself was a move that was well versed in workplace rules.
"Okay, you three, stop squatting there and peek. Put on your clothes and come over here."
After returning to the table, Cheng Ye said softly.
The next second, the three of them seemed to have springs on their feet and flew to Simo's side.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
The four people hugging each other and crying made Cheng Ye's throat choke slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
How ridiculous this world is.
He was simply doing his job as an inspector and fully following the standard inspection procedures in the inspector's manual, yet he was treated like a god and was thanked to tears.
It's not that I'm too nice, but this checkpoint is rotten to the core.
Cheng Ye pondered secretly, and suddenly changed his mind.
If this is the prevailing atmosphere in Happiness City, what would he do if he encountered a similar situation one day and had to rely on others for his survival?
"The sense of crisis is truly overwhelming. I'm afraid everyone in this buffer zone is climbing up to avoid this day."
When the four people's crying gradually stopped, Cheng Ye withdrew his thoughts.
"What did you just say you had for me?"
"Oh, oh, it's meteoric iron. We collected it from the Bluestone Gathering Place!"
Cole slapped his head, ran to the trunk of the car, and took out a fist-sized piece of black ore.
"Look, sir, this thing is very hard. We don't know what it's made of. Would you like to keep it for fun?"
"siderite?"
Cheng Ye took the ore and squeezed it, and instantly felt a cold and hard touch on his fingertips.
Judging from its appearance alone, there is nothing special about it, and it is completely inferior to the fire-hidden iron I saw before.
"It's just the afternoon after tomorrow when we pick up the weapons. Let Master Liu take a look."
Cheng Ye nodded with satisfaction.
If this raw ore was not blessed with the function of action, he would have no way to use it.
But with action, finding a forging skill, and then trying to get forging equipment, you can forge all kinds of weapons as you wish.
"I'm keeping this because I have some use for it, but you guys should take these happiness coins."
Cheng Ye said, reaching out and pushing the six coins on the table back.
Happiness coins are really not very useful in the buffer zone. He can only buy what he wants with contribution points. What's more, he doesn't know how long it will take to use up the happiness coins left by Cheng Long.
"grown ups..."
"Okay, then I'll leave one for you guys to rest assured."
Seeing the four people looking at him eagerly, Cheng Ye sighed helplessly: "If you have this kind of ore in the future, you can bring it to me. My defense identification number is 96061."
"Okay, sir! Don't worry, I'll definitely send you the ore first when I have it next time!"
Cole's eyes suddenly lit up.
The opportunity to get close to the prosecutor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let alone an Eastern prosecutor, even if the person sitting behind the desk is a dog, cough cough...
All I can say is, that's what rights are.
But then again, Cheng Ye is indeed different from other prosecutors.
The four of them exchanged glances, and there was surprise in each other's eyes. The reward from the lithium deposit could provide them with a very considerable start-up capital, and with a reliable inspector, they could save a lot of trouble.
After nearly five years of hard work in Xingfu City, if this trip succeeds, it will be like we’ve hit the cusp of a takeoff!
"Take him to get treated quickly. Hurry up, this leg should still be saved."
"Thank you, sir."
The four of them nodded in agreement. Cole rushed to the driver's seat and started the car, while Hull helped the two of them sit back in the back cabin.
Cheng Ye pressed the button, and the isolation door at the exit slowly slid to both sides.
However, just as Cole waved excitedly and was about to step on the accelerator to leave.
Boom.
The isolation door that had just been opened suddenly closed, and the sound of metal collision was deafening.
At the same time, the entire checkpoint erupted in a shrill alarm, with two long and two short beeps coming one after another, echoing endlessly in the empty checkpoint.
"What's going on?"
The four of them looked up in surprise, only to see Cheng Ye and the inspector from Area B next door also stood up suddenly in shock.
It was as if a bomb was dropped into the checkpoint. Amid the blaring alarms, hundreds of armed guards instantly rushed out of the four quarantine areas, as if they were facing a major enemy!
"Two longs and two shorts. The checkpoint is on the highest level of alert. Either there's an incoming wave of infection, or..."
Cheng Ye turned around suddenly, and the four brothers also looked back in the direction he was looking.
I saw two flags hung on the machine gun tower of the checkpoint.
One side is as red as blood, the other side is as white as paper.
This means.
"Red represents danger, white represents sacrifice, the red and white flags fly side by side..."
Cheng Ye's voice suddenly dropped. "Did a stationmaster on duty die?!"
...
