Chapter 198 Gray

Chen Ke held the gun and aimed at the heart of the female nurse.

She was an African-American federal with short black hair, about 1.6 meters tall, and probably over 40 years old.

When they first met, Chen Ke thought she was a nurse, but now after a closer look, he thought that this woman might be a chief physician.

The woman did not panic because of being pointed at by a gun, and seemed calmer than him.

When Chen Ke looked at her, she was also looking at Chen Ke. The calmness and calmness in her eyes seemed to try to tell Chen Ke that she had seen this kind of scene many times.

"Put your hand over here." The woman said lightly.

"Huh?" Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and felt puzzled by the strange request of this woman.

Before Chen Ke could react, she grabbed Chen Ke's hand holding the gun and took out a gun-shaped syringe from her pocket.

"Wait! Wait! What are you going to do?" Chen Ke shook off the other's hand.

"Hey, let him go." At this time, Sam walked out of the elevator from behind Chen Ke, trying to subdue the woman in front of him.

"Wait, Sam, she means no harm." Chen Ke stopped Sam. He did not feel the murderous intent of this woman, and the other party had no ill intentions.

"Let's all put down our guns, okay? There is no harm in having a good talk in a civilized way. How about it?" Chen Ke said, slowly lowering the muzzle of the gun.

Sam didn't know why Chen Ke concluded so quickly that this woman was not a threat, but based on Chen Ke's previous performance, he also put down the muzzle of the gun.

The woman looked at Chen Ke's eyes curiously, let go of his hand, and put the syringe back into her pocket.

"Where are you from? Is there anyone else up there?" the woman asked.

"Answer my question first, ma'am. Who are you?" Chen Ke stretched out his index finger and shook it.

"You can call me Jiulin, doctor of medicine. Where are you from? Is there anyone else in the city?" Jiulin asked, and there was no emotion in her tone, as if she was asking about the results of some experiment.

"We are from..." Sam was about to speak, and Chen Ke bumped him. Sam understood what Chen Ke meant and shut up immediately.

"What happened to Xiaoyao City?" Chen Ke asked back.

"Answering questions with questions? You won't get the answer this way." Jiulin shook her head.

"There should be someone else in the city, but we didn't meet them... Okay, now it's your turn to answer me, what happened in Xiaoyao City?" Chen Ke frowned.

"Okay, I know." Jiulin lowered her head and pondered for two seconds, then turned and walked into the darkness of the passage.

"Hey, hey! You haven't answered my question yet!" Chen Ke said to her back.

"Follow me, and you'll get the answer." Jiulin turned around and said, then turned back again, walking towards the end of the passage at a moderate pace.

Sam looked at Chen Ke, not knowing whether he should follow. Chen Ke followed without saying a word, carrying his gun on his back.

The two followed Jiulin like this, and walked silently for a few minutes at a distance of about five meters.

There was such a long passage underground in this hospital, with wards on both sides. Chen Ke scanned it with his spiritual vision, and most of the wards had patients, who lay motionless on the bed, as if dead.

None of the wards had lights on. Only a small office at the end of the corridor had a little light. Jiulin pushed open the door and stood in the light at the door, waiting for Chen Ke and Sam.

"Come in." Jiulin said, turning and walking into the office.

The two followed into the office, only to see a folding bed inside, and a pile of canned food and food in the corner.

There were four computers on the desk, and on the other side of the desk, there were a lot of high-tech experimental tools, which Chen Ke couldn't name.

"Okay, stretch out your hands. Both of you." Jiulin took out the gun-shaped syringe again.

"What for?" Chen Ke was puzzled.

"Just want to see how long you have left to live." Jiulin said coldly.

Chen Ke laughed and looked at the life countdown in the corner of his eye. There were still nineteen hours.

"Why don't you make it clear?" Sam said dissatisfiedly.

"I want to draw blood from you to see if there is gray pigment in your blood." Jiulin shook her head.

"What?" Chen Ke had never heard of this word and didn't know what it meant for a while.

"Take a look at this." Jiulin picked up the notebook and handed it to Chen Ke and Sam.

They took the notebook and saw the monitoring status of dozens of wards. The green night vision screen matched the silent patients on the bed, which looked very cautious.

"What disease do they have... ? Some beds are still empty, why do they need to be monitored?" Chen Ke slid the touchpad and switched rooms.

"It's not empty, but it has turned into gray." Jiulin said lightly.

When Chen Ke heard the words "turned into gray", his mind went blank for a moment.

"What does it mean to turn into gray? They..." Sam couldn't understand this statement either.

"It means that they are still human in the previous second, and they will turn into red dust in the next second. So, I want to draw your blood to see, which is very important to you." Jiulin said coldly.

"I don't understand..." Chen Ke couldn't believe it. He didn't know if Jiulin omitted any details, which made this statement sound absurd.

"I'm surprised. Have you really never seen this situation? I thought such a disaster happened all over the world." Jiulin looked at Chen Ke in confusion.

Chen Ke didn't say anything. He heard a very important message from Jiulin's words. According to what she said and the current situation, is it the end of humanity?

"Where are you from? Is there something with blind spots?" Jiulin asked, thinking alone.

"What... We are confused now and have no idea what you are talking about." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"Let's draw blood first." Jiulin said.

She grabbed Chen Ke's wrist, put the gun-shaped syringe on his vein and pressed the button. Chen Ke only felt like he was bitten by an ant. After just two seconds, the blood draw was over.

"Press the wound with your thumb and keep it for 5 minutes." Jiulin said as she took out a capsule-sized glass bottle from the syringe handle, which contained a few milliliters of Chen Ke's blood.

Damn, nothing will be found out... Chen Ke was worried, but then he thought, this is not the original world, so it doesn't matter.

Jiulin put the vial into the high-tech experimental tools on the table next to her and waited for the machine to produce the results.

"Is this a disease? What is the blind spot you mentioned?" Chen Ke asked, pressing his wrist.

Jiulin stood in front of the table and looked at Chen Ke. Realizing that Chen Ke really knew nothing, he sighed and told the story.

"That day, something suddenly appeared in the world. They were huge and numerous, up to 2 million meters..." Jiulin said.

"2 million meters... Dr. Jiulin... are you wrong?" Sam was frightened by the exaggerated number.

"I won't make mistakes in numbers." Jiulin said coldly.

What is the concept of 2 million meters? Chen Ke only knows two things that are closest to this number.

One is the Earth Telescope Project launched by the former Soviet Union, which drilled the deepest hole in human history underground, 2 million meters deep, while the deepest trench is only 15,000 kilometers.

The other is an artificial satellite, the highest orbital altitude is about 36,000 kilometers, and 2 million meters is 2,000 kilometers. You can realize the exaggeration of this height by thinking about the difference.

"Deserts, oceans, cities... From what we can see now, the landing sites of those things are carefully designed. The purpose is just to let everyone on the earth see them... However, there are still blind spots in theory..." Jiulin said slowly.

"What happens after seeing it..." Chen Ke asked.

"That is a meme suggestion. Most of the people who see it will be strongly psychologically suggested to think that they are dust." Jiulin said.

"Fuck..." Chen Ke muttered.

"Once you are infected with the meme, your body composition will be slowly replaced. The replacement speed varies from person to person, but the initial situation is that a new element, ash, will appear in the blood." Jiulin said.

Chen Ke and Sam did not speak. They seemed to have seen that thing... Chen Ke also took a long video and showed it to Diana for a while...

"When the ash reaches a certain critical value, people will suddenly turn into dust. Some people will turn into dust directly after a glance, while others can live for a while..." Jiulin said.

This world was empty, because most people had turned into red ash...

Chen Ke couldn't help but imagine that scene, a man had just taken a bite of a hamburger, a female corpse had just started the car, an old lady was walking her dog on the street...

Silently, everything turned into ash...

"Does the thing you are talking about look like two big pillars...?" Chen Ke asked with a fluke mentality.

At this time, the machine made a beeping sound, Jiulin looked back, and the blood test results came out.
