214, Doomsday Forbidden Zone 14 (2nd Update)

The rats were much more aggressive at this time. When Yu Heng checked the wounds of the injured, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had crawled out from underground. Otherwise, he might not be able to survive facing rats of this size and aggressiveness.

"How is it?"

Yu Heng shook his head: "The bite site rotted directly, and the poison spread too quickly, and the surrounding skin and flesh were also spread. It is expected that the whole body and internal organs will rot within half an hour." In short, there is no hope.

"Hiss!" Vice Dean Qian took a breath, "Why are the rats so poisonous all of a sudden! It's just a bite!"

"The rats are getting stronger. We can't stay here anymore, otherwise we won't survive." Yu Heng thought of the dark corpse pit underground and the creepy scene of rats carrying corpses. He suspected that the strength of the rats was related to the dead bodies. Otherwise, why would the rats carry corpses? The rats were born from the foul air. The more foul the air, the stronger the source of the rats' life, and naturally the more ferocious they would be. This explanation also works.

I heard that all the subway lines in Licheng and their vicinity collapsed, shocking the whole city! Before the news broke this shocking news, a few minutes later, a full-scale earthquake hit Licheng. At 10 o'clock in the evening, most people had already gone to bed, and countless Licheng residents were buried under the ruins. After that, there were aftershocks one after another... The neighboring counties and cities only had a slight reaction, but Licheng seemed to be cursed.

Yu Heng asked Vice President Qian: "Have you received any follow-up news about the corpse pit?" He had already reported the news of the underground corpse pit to his superiors through Vice President Qian, and now he remembered to ask about the follow-up.

Vice Dean Qian shook his head: "Did you forget? Both of us were ordered to keep silent before. This matter is definitely not simple. How do you think I can find out?"

"That's right." Yu Heng changed the subject and handed a drawing to Vice Dean Qian, "Excuse me, Dean, please make this equipment as soon as possible. I have marked the detailed data points. If you have any questions, come and ask me."

"This is..." Vice Dean Qian looked at it for a long time, "What is it used for? Is it a new experimental equipment?"

"It can be used to scan the virus distribution area on the patient." Yu Heng explained it briefly. In fact, it is the distribution area of ​​foul air. However, now doctors say it is poisonous gas and virus, so he followed the local customs. "After it is made, it will be more convenient for us to do acupuncture."

"Okay, okay! Xiao Zhou, you are a genius! I will send it out immediately!"

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Yu Heng went to see Zhou's mother after get off work. She was still awake and waiting for him.

"Are you tired? Have you eaten? Do you want a midnight snack?"

"No, I've had dinner. Mom, help me make some instant noodles. I'm a little hungry."

Mother Zhou smiled: "Okay, I'll make it for you." Seeing Mother Zhou busy in the room, Yu Heng's eyes softened. Looking at the ward that had changed a lot, he felt a little satisfied. It was worth his hard work. If his own mother was not treated well, it would be unreasonable.

"In the afternoon, a nurse brought me two boxes of instant noodles, a box of canned meat and a box of canned fruit. Can I put a few pieces of canned meat for you?"

"Okay."

After eating the hot instant noodles with meat slices, Yu Heng relaxed his body with satisfaction, his shoulders collapsed, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck to slurp the noodles. Mother Zhou smiled at his relaxed posture, her eyes full of heartache, and watched him quietly until he finished eating before cleaning up the bowl.

"Mom watched TV today too. You are a miracle doctor. Mom is so proud." Such a good day, but her husband is not here.

Yu Heng chatted with her for a while and felt her pulse. Now the blisters and bumps on her body have scabbed over and the itching has disappeared.

"As long as the equipment can be used after the experiment and it is confirmed that mom does not carry any germs, I can send you out."

"What about you?" Zhou's mother was anxious, "What about you?"

"Mom, you go out and wait for me first, okay?" Yu Heng held Zhou's mother's hand and looked into her eyes, "I definitely can't go with you, but you know my ability, I will definitely protect myself. Don't worry about having no place to stay when you go out. I will ask them to arrange a house for you. You clean up the house, buy some food at home, watch TV when you have nothing to do, and I will come out when it's almost time."

How could Zhou's mother not understand? Her son couldn't leave now. She choked and nodded: "Okay, okay, mom will listen to you, mom will wait for you outside, if you come out, notify mom first, mom will make you delicious food..."

The situation continued to deteriorate. After seven days without aftershocks, Licheng was hit by aftershocks again. This aftershock brought unprecedented disasters. It’s not that this aftershock is destructive. In fact, if you really count, it’s not serious. Even the tents didn’t open. The disaster it brought was manifested in the rats.

In this aftershock, countless rats came out from the ground, so many that they were all black shadows on the satellite images.

The rats emerged from the ground like a tide and rushed to all directions, biting the survivors aggressively. The space in the building was in danger again, and all the tent residents moved into the building. Listening to the poisonous rats smashing and running around on the walls and glass, the survivors inside were still frightened.

“Such a big rat!” A patient who had just recovered from the shock stretched out his hand and compared, “Bigger than a cat!”

“Wow, the bones came out after a bite, is it still a rat!”

“Oh my God, it’s still bumping outside, doctor! Doctor!”

“Everyone be quiet, raise your hands if you’ve been bitten by a rat… OK, those who haven’t been bitten go to the third floor, and those who have been bitten stay on the first floor…”

“Where’s the xx medicine? There’s not enough stock! Contact the Licheng Epidemic Prevention Department immediately and ask them to send it in!”

"Tell them that Licheng is short of manpower. Throw the three words "shortage, manpower" in their faces! Everyone is afraid of death, so let's wait for the rats to scatter and die together!"

Yu Heng was even busier. There was no cure yet. The current rats could kill people with a bite, and there was no possibility of keeping people half-dead with medicine.

He took out two drawings one after another, one for scanning the body's foul air, and the other for electric shock decontamination based on the principle of electric shock to kill rats. These two devices are the most important things at present, but neither of them has been made yet.

"It's only been half a month, not so fast." Vice Dean Qian was also very anxious.

"It should be said that it has been half a month!" Yu Heng threw the heavy medical records on the table, "Half a month, the whole country can't make a machine? Even if it is a preliminary product, it's okay. Dean Qian, this won't work. The hospital will definitely collapse."

While the two were talking, their feet suddenly shook, and things in the office rang loudly, "Another aftershock!"

"Evacuate, you must evacuate." Yu Heng said, "I know that there are many infectious patients in Licheng, and if you leave, the disease will spread, but so many living people are just waiting to die? There are obviously so many alternative plans, such as letting the neighboring counties and cities of Licheng move out, and then let us move to the neighboring city, and vacate Licheng, right?"

He was really disappointed. Licheng has been affected by the disaster for one and a half months. Until now, the survivors are still living on the land full of corpses. This land is still shaking constantly. How can such an environment cure the disease? What's more serious is that there are no substitutes to enter Licheng. There is an extreme shortage of manpower. How can the work be carried out? People don't have three heads and six arms!

Clearly, the test showed that the poisonous gas or foul air only lingered in Licheng, and only a few of them overflowed. Why didn't they allow the survivors in Licheng to evacuate?

"I know, I will report it again, you go and do your work first!" Vice Dean Qian scratched his hair, and it was obvious that he had no idea what to do.

Yu Heng didn't go to work, he went to Zhou's mother.

"Mom, the situation is not good, you pack your things and be ready to evacuate at any time."

"Axing, the phone can't be dialed!" Zhou's mother said to Yu Heng anxiously, "Didn't I say before that I would contact your aunt, the aunt in Pengcheng." Yu Heng remembered that Zhou's mother said that when she was cured and could leave Licheng in the future, she wanted to live in Pengcheng, where there were relatives to take care of her.

"Can't dial through?"

"Yes, I can't even access the Internet. I was reading the news online last night, but I can't open it today."

Yu Heng took Zhou's mother's mobile phone. Zhou's mother's mobile phone disappeared in the car when the earthquake first occurred. He found this one later and gave it to Zhou's mother to kill time. Zhou's mother often used it to surf the Internet.

After fiddling with it for a while, he found that he couldn't dial out or connect to the Internet. He immediately went to find Vice President Qian and told him about the matter: "Please help me find out. Is this an accident, or - restriction of freedom?!"

Vice President Qian took a breath and hurried to make a phone call. The result was obvious. He couldn't dial out at all.

"Axing, what should I do?"

"It's okay, Mom, you collect your things!"

Yu Heng thought, something important must have happened, and this thing is very likely to endanger their lives. What could make the outside world suddenly restrict Licheng's external communication? Restricting Licheng's external speech can only be because they are worried that the survivors of Licheng will express unfavorable opinions to the outside world. What would the outside world do to be afraid of the survivors of Licheng expressing unfavorable opinions?

The thought of it makes one's hair stand on end, and the feeling that everything is out of control makes him palpitate.

Time goes back to the day before yesterday. In a secret office far away in Kuncheng, the political center of the country, Zhang Jincheng, the 302nd generation leader of the Taoist sect, who was invited out of seclusion in the mountains, stroked his beard and shook his head: "The outbreak of foul air can be traced back to 191 years ago, when there was an earthquake and plague in Xishan. At that time, nine out of ten houses were empty. Later, thunder and lightning from the sky eliminated the foul air.

Foul air cannot be eliminated, but can only be obeyed. When it develops beyond the tolerance of heaven, heaven will naturally send thunder to eliminate it. I can suppress it temporarily, but it will definitely erupt again in the same place in a few years.

Should we take advantage of this outbreak of foul air to let it run wild and trigger thunder and destroy it in one fell swoop in exchange for Chang'an, or wait a few years to sacrifice new lives again... It all depends on your choice."

Several high-level leaders present exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, someone asked, "How to settle the survivors?"

Zhang Jincheng smiled, with the unique ethereal and nobleness of a Taoist master: "You still don't understand what I said. Submit it, let it go crazy, and then it can be destroyed. Once Licheng is empty, they will definitely continue to attack from outside, and then it will be more loss than gain. Now there are survivors of Licheng alive, plants, animals and even soil, they still have vitality, they will not leak out on a large scale."

The Taoist priest spoke elegantly and in a plain tone, but the meaning of his words made people's spines cold!

The people present were all old politicians, so they didn't reveal any clues. The eyes of several younger people changed.

No matter how elegant and implicit the words were, didn't they mean that the people in Licheng were already "sacrifices". If they didn't die, the evil spirits would come out to kill the people outside? So let them die!

This, this is watching people die without saving them!

Several senior officials exchanged glances. These senior officials were leaders of different factions in their country. The country implemented a democratic election system for leaders, who could be re-elected, and there was fierce competition between factions.

The supreme leader of this session was called Lu Jun. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Master Zhang, this is absolutely not possible! Every survivor is a valuable resource of the country. We cannot let them die here. Please think of another way!" With a wave of his hand, the adjutant immediately invited everyone else to leave, leaving only him and Zhang Jincheng inside.
