Chapter 219 Blood Plague Crisis

As soon as Iger heard that something happened to the field team, his head exploded. He rushed to Joanna in two or three steps, and asked nervously, "What happened to Bill and the others?"

"It's not the Bill field team, it's the Nicholas team." Joanna said, "Father Locke asked me to call you."

Almost as soon as Iger and the others set off, the Nicholas field team returned to Rapid Creek Town.

"Uncle Vance, please keep an eye on this side." After Iger said something to Vance, he turned and climbed into the off-road vehicle driven by Joanna, and then the off-road vehicle drove quickly towards Rapid Creek Town.

"What's going on?" Iger asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Joanna replied, "I heard that someone was infected by an infected person and is in isolation. That's all I know."

After returning to Rapid Creek Town, Iger got out of the car and wanted to go to the Morgan Building, but he took two steps back, turned around and walked towards the isolation ward.

There was an internal staff member sitting at the door of the isolation ward, and Iger signaled him to open the door of the isolation room.

"No. The door is not allowed to be opened without the order of Captain Nicholas." The internal staff replied.

Iger nodded, and he asked, "How are the people inside?"

The internal staff replied: "Without the order of Captain Nicholas, you are not allowed to disclose information at will."

Looks like things are serious.

Iger turned around and walked quickly towards the Morgan Building. If he guessed correctly, everyone should be waiting for him in the office on the 4th floor.

Morgan Building 4th Floor, Chairman's Office.

After Iger pushed open the door, it turned out that the whole room was waiting for him.

Without polite words, Iger asked Nicholas directly: "What happened?"

"Report to the captain." Nicholas subconsciously called Captain Iger again, but no one paid attention, only heard him say: "Look at this thing first."

Following Nicholas' guidance, Iger discovered that there was a blanket on the floor of the office, and something was wrapped in the blanket.

Yesterday, after Peter calculated the electricity consumption, in order to facilitate the freight of the Morgan Building, the building reopened the freight elevator.This thing was directly loaded into the elevator from the underground garage and brought up.

Iger walked over and lifted the blanket, only to see that the blanket was covered with sticky blood.There was a lot of blood, as if a pair of big hands pinched the body and squeezed it hard.

In the center of the blanket was the corpse of an infected person. His clothes and trousers had long since been torn away, and the corpse was still covered with a layer of sticky blood, making him seem like an infected person. Man in red paint.

The blood was definitely not released by external force.

The blood of the infected was originally semi-coagulated and viscous, and even if they were severely injured, their blood would flow out very slowly, but this corpse was covered in blood.

After staring at the corpse for a while, Iger suddenly thought of a lot, and asked Nicholas, "Did your team member be bitten, or was it just skin contact?"

Nicholas said: "He was carrying the body with me because he had blood on his hands."

The field team is equipped with a pair of gloves per person as standard, and Iger stipulates that gloves must be worn when touching the dead body of an infected person.

But when Nicholas formed the field team, he forgot to equip the players, but at the time he thought it was a trivial matter and not a big problem, and then he forgot it again when he was busy.

Nicholas said: "Less than 10 minutes after touching the corpse, Cook claimed to have a blood plague infection. After returning to Rapid Creek Town, Dr. Heidemi administered analgesics to him and is now in isolation. Dr. Heidemi said that Cook The problem is not too serious, fortunately he just touched it, so through skin contact, he got some infection. If it was bitten."

Nicholas shook his head when he said this, and everyone knew what he meant.

Iger took out his phone and opened the offline map, and he said to Nicholas, "Tell me about your attendance."

Nicholas stretched out his finger, zoomed in on the offline map, and said while gesticulating: "After we left Ross Town the day before yesterday, we considered that we hadn't been in the red zone for a long time to carry out the mission of clearing up, so I led the field team to set off from Ferin Avenue, all the way west.

On the first day, we walked here. "

Nicholas clicked on the map, which is about 20 kilometers away from the border of the safe zone. He continued: "We thought we would encounter infected people here, but we didn't. So we continued to rush here. On the edge of the mountain. Similarly, no infected people were found along the way."

Iger nodded. The route Nicholas chose was very cautious. He followed the outermost detour route used by the field team when fighting the infected. He was moving tangentially and did not rush into the core of the red zone. .

"The next day, we moved in this direction along the road until we came here." Nicholas clicked on the map, and Iger knew that it was a fertilizer warehouse.During several field missions, the place became a semi-permanent camp, with high security thanks to the protection of barbed wire fencing.

"Again, we didn't find any infected people along the way." Nicholas said: "We moved here this morning."

Nicholas pointed to the town of Todo.

Todo Town is only 10 kilometers away from Pudo City. Iger's field team was even surrounded by a wave of infected people once there. This is a dangerous area in the red zone.

"On the outskirts of Todo Town, we found a group of strange infected people. They were covered in red, as if they had been painted with a layer of red paint. Our team opened fire tentatively and quickly killed them Yes. Because it is a rare sample, we wrapped a corpse in a blanket and came back, looking for someone to study. During this process, I put on a pair of rubber gloves, and Cook directly used his hands.

More than ten minutes after wrapping this thing in a blanket, Cook experienced convulsions and high fever. I decided to stop the investigation and returned to the camp immediately. "

After listening to Nicholas' narration, Iger turned his head and squatted down to look at the corpse on the ground, he suddenly said without raising his head: "Is there anyone, help me get a pair of impermeable gloves and a sharp knife. "

Iger decided to dissect the corpse of the infected person.

Sister Maria quickly brought what Iger wanted. After he put on his gloves, he said to Father Locke and Sister Maria: "Godfather, Sister Maria, I think it's better for you to avoid it. You can Go to the secretary's room next door to rest, and I'll call you after I'm done."

Father Locke did not insist on staying. After listening to Iger's words, he stood up and led the nun out.

A few minutes later, Andy also walked out of the office. He took a few deep breaths in the corridor but couldn't suppress the nausea in his heart, so Andy hugged the trash can by the door and vomited a few mouthfuls of water to feel better.

Nicholas is also watching in the office now.

It is difficult for ordinary people to accept dissection, let alone a person who does not understand the physiological structure of the human body.In addition, Iger's original plan was a destructive dissection, which is not something ordinary people can bear, whether it is the scene or the smell.

After watching Iger for a long time, Nicholas finally understood Iger's purpose. He just wanted to see if the blood on the corpse was "secreted" by the infected person himself, or was it a "buff" made by someone else.

The former involves a change in the physiological structure of the infected, while the latter must consider the evolution of the behavior of the infected.

After nearly ten minutes of Iger's destructive autopsy, the corpse of the infected person could no longer be seen as human.Now Iger is very sure that the blood comes from the infected person's body, because no matter whether it is an organ or a muscle in his body, not even much blood can be released from the heart vessels.

I really don't know how this ghost looks like, how this thing "survived".

Iger threw the knife in the pile of meat, and he took off his gloves and threw it in, then wrapped the blanket up and asked someone to clean it up later.

Iger went to the window and wanted to open it, but the floor-to-ceiling window was fully closed, and he took Nicholas to the secretary's office.

The small secretary's office is now full of people, but everyone doesn't care too much, so Iger is going to tell everyone his views.

"I have two points of view. First, the number of infected people is shrinking, and the reason is unknown. Second, this is a new mutation, which is very deadly." Iger said to everyone, still in the same unastonishing manner. style of.

"First, the wave of infected people is shrinking. You already know it after listening to Nicholas' field report, so I won't repeat it. Let me analyze the results. I think that a new blood epidemic has formed somewhere in Pudo City. heart." Iger said to everyone with a headache: "Actually, we should have expected that killing the queen bee larvae will not exterminate the bee colony. As long as the bee colony size is still there, they will immediately raise the second queen bee larvae .”

"Maybe we were careless, but I think it's more that we can't do anything about it, because we can't stop the evolution of infected people at all.

The field team worked hard in the red zone for several months before killing about 5000 infected people. However, the population of Pudo City is about 8 people. According to estimates, the number of infected people is no less than 7.We killed about 7% of the population, still too little, not enough.

Pudo City is our confidant, and we must find a way to greatly reduce the number of infected people in Pudo City, but our strength is too limited now. "

Having said that, everyone sighed.

In fact, there are a lot of survivors in Pudu City, very many. The Gospel team has seen hundreds of them, but except for more than a dozen of them who joined the Gospel team, the rest of them stopped in Jixi Town for a short time to exchange supplements. After collecting some supplies, he fled.

The west and north of Jixi Town are now completely controlled by the infected. Without the containment of human survivors, it will be a matter of time before the infected will overflow. The first barrier to stop them is the fortress of Jixi Town.

After letting everyone sigh, Iger continued: "The second news is that the infected have a new mutation.

Having said that, let me remind everyone first that everyone should know that this unknown infection that broke out is called 'blood plague', right? "

Everyone nodded.

The name "Blood Plague" was not given by anyone, but everyone can see it in their own character attributes.

Whether it is "blood plague infection" or "blood plague excitation", they are all talking about this mutation.

Iger continued: "I was very surprised at the beginning. It was obviously airborne, and then the whole world suddenly broke out at the same moment. After the outbreak, biting did not cause reinfection. Why is it called blood plague.

Now I understand this point, the source of the infection that caused this mutation, the infected body, the environment in which they parasitize is our blood, so this 'disease' that turns into an infected person is called blood plague. "

After Iger said this, everyone nodded.

"Since the parasitic environment of the infected body is blood, and these infected people drain the blood from the whole body to the surface of the skin through the pores, it is obvious that they want to use the blood as a medium to spread more infections.

No matter how capable an army is, its combat capability has an upper limit.

Perhaps through air, physical contact, saliva, other bodily fluids, etc., the infected body can also infect humans, but for the immune person, the infection concentration is not enough.

However, blood is different, it has enough concentration to break down our body's immunity.

Don't, don't be bitten by these guys, you will die. "
