Plague Doctor

That evening, Deng Ximei arrived at the Dongzhou Medical Department base. When she saw the three babies with negative selection anomalies, she felt the same way as Gu Jun.

It seems that some abnormal babies bear traces of alien life.

The more such babies there are, the closer the connection between the two worlds will be, and the greater the influence the Black Goat of the Forest will exert on this place.

However, before Deng Ximei came to Dongzhou, she had seen dozens of abnormal babies in Dahua City, but none of them had this feeling. Is this only true for babies with abnormalities in the Tohoku area? Because there was no progress on Zuge's side, Gu Jun and Deng Ximei quickly went to several cities near Dongzhou that night to check it out. This guess was basically confirmed. Moreover, the mothers of the three babies who have appeared temporarily spent most of their pregnancy in Dongzhou.

In this regard, an evacuation operation for pregnant women is urgently underway.

In a big city like Dongzhou with a population of more than 8 million, there are more than 100,000 pregnant women. It is not easy to complete the evacuation as soon as possible without causing panic to the outside world. But it must be done. If they stay here for one more day, the fetus will be tainted with the smell of the alien world.

Dongzhou is no longer a suitable place to raise a baby, nor is it a suitable place to give birth.

But some pregnant women who were about to give birth stayed and were cared for by medical staff.

Because there are still too many uncertainties, if this is an epidemic, will it spread if they give birth in other places?

On the third day of this disaster, the global number of abnormal babies in Tianji World exceeded 100,000. Not all of these babies can lie in an incubator and cry. Originally, even ordinary babies may die at birth, but the rate among abnormal babies is three times higher.

One of the babies who did not die in infancy was a positive choice, and draws accounted for about 20% of them, and the rest of the babies who died in infancy were negative choices.

Their causes of death stem from various causes, including heart problems, liver and kidney problems, blood problems...

There was also a dead baby that seemed to be allergic to air. Less than ten minutes after birth, he developed a severe rash all over his body. He couldn't stop crying and had difficulty breathing. Within an hour, he developed multiple organ failure. The medical staff on duty were responsible for the rescue. There is no way around it.

Negatively selected infants who died in infancy and those who did not die in infancy gradually developed more severe abnormalities.

Like Xu Qiuyue, whose eyes are all white, she has become a light person.

When Gu Jun watched the reports of some abnormal babies with serious physiological defects or mutations, he felt a long-lost restlessness in his heart.

One baby's hands were shaped like sheep's hooves, not just in shape, but like two sheep's hooves growing below the human wrist. There was another baby whose limbs were deformed into foreign objects. X-ray results showed that the limbs were There are no bones inside, it's all soft tissue, and it looks like the tentacles on a black goat.

The deformations of these two babies are typical and clearly show the influence of the Black Goat of the Forest, but not only that, there are various other deformations.

Although some of the mothers of these babies did not have good prenatal check-ups, most of them went through routine prenatal check-ups, and some even went through more detailed procedures, but still gave birth to babies with birth defects. This also exposed another big problem in this disaster, which was the failure of prenatal check-ups for pregnant women with abnormal babies.

The mother's last four-dimensional color ultrasound examination of the baby with tentacle-like limbs showed that it was a healthy fetus.

The baby's father held up a stack of color ultrasound examination results and asked the doctor, choked with tears, how could that happen? No one could answer him.

On those result images, there were pictures of the fetus meditating, yawning, eating its fingers, extending its fists... everything showed that the baby had normally developed limbs, hands, and feet. None of the prenatal examination results said there would be any problems. There may be problems that were not mentioned.

It was only a week between the baby's mother's last prenatal visit and delivery. How did it become like this?

During the delivery, the couple could see clearly that the baby had not been changed. The baby was born like that, like a monster.

A large number of similar cases suggest that either the mutation occurs during labor or the imaging test is affected by abnormal forces.

The more Gu Jun watched the reported images of abnormal babies, the more he couldn't sleep, and the more he became like Yu Chi, as if his neck was being tightened by a tight hoop.

As soon as the baby cries, the tight hoop tightens and tightens, until he can't breathe or gasp.

Just think of how many babies are suffering, how many pregnant women, how many families...

He could not sit still, could not stand still, could not meditate.

Yes, yes, even if there was no such catastrophe, birth defects would still exist, and negative selection would always exist.

But...the number is not so large, the distortion is not so serious, this is a disaster.

Gu Jun tried his best to fall asleep, telling himself over and over again: "I need to sleep, I need to have a good rest, and I need to have the energy and strength to perform liver dissection." In the three days since the incident, he has had very little time for light sleep, and his body has deteriorated. It's getting closer to exhaustion.

If this state continues, even if a black goat cub is immediately placed on the dissecting table, it will not survive for two days.

[Remaining time: 309:26:47, anatomy completion: 0]

The remaining time for the mission is getting shorter and shorter, and this is like another tight hoop that can't move the throat.

Gu Jun couldn't sleep in the base's dormitory or building lounge, so he had to chat with Wu Shiyu.

Wu Shiyu never understood the trouble of not being able to sleep. No matter how bad the situation was, she would always

It also has the ability to digest.

"How about I sing you a lullaby? Let me soothe you." She suggested, Gu Jun nodded in agreement, and she sang: "Meow meow meow——"

He really didn't expect this, but it did have some hypnotic effects.

Later, I heard Xianyu say that she learned this from the cat of Usa.

Cats usually don't suffer from insomnia. When cats suffer from insomnia, it becomes very serious, so cats' lullabies are very powerful.

At the same time, the Headquarters Medical Department has a number of epidemiological studies underway. There are abnormal babies as the case group and ordinary babies as the control group. They are in the same maternity ward in the same area. The research subjects are the mothers of the babies, investigating them and mining their memories. What were their pregnancies like?

Did the mothers of abnormal babies have any exposure factors during pregnancy, such as taking over-the-counter drugs, eating certain foods, etc., or where did they go, did something, or happened, which led to the birth of abnormal babies?

The Department of Medicine looked for statistically significant identical exposures among them.

Only by finding this connection with abnormal babies can we say that abnormal babies are not random and can they be avoided.

and a crackdown on the creation of abnormal babies. Bad people can also give birth to children. If bad people have a way, they can give birth to many, many abnormal babies.

Tianji Bureau personnel in various places also give birth to babies, and an equal proportion of abnormal babies have appeared among the internal newborns.

And they still don't know how much difference the positive selection, negative selection and tie of abnormal babies will show in their growth compared with ordinary babies.

When the remaining time of the mission fell below 300 hours, and it was also the morning of a new day, Zugojili screamed and rushed into the lounge where Gu Jun was.

"Found it, found it! Fei Bao and the others have found it! There is a cave within a few hundred square meters, right there!"

Love the Plague Doctor.
