Xin Pian
There was a violent vibration, accompanied by a deafening explosion. Xin opened his eyes. He heard his iron frame bed shaking and the water in the cup splashing out. The drip stand on the head was shaking back and forth.
What happened?
It seemed like an explosion.
She sat up straight. I walked to the door and looked around, but nothing seemed to happen. Stomped to the window. The scenery outside the window was already in chaos. There are cars erected here and there on the road. Streets without pedestrians. A tall building with thick smoke in the distance. ． ．
Xin already knew in his heart that things were out of control. The only thing she worries about is that her fiancé Bo Kang.
Suddenly, a fire alarm sounded from above the room. I saw the red police lights in the corridor flashing. Then water sprayed out from the fire protection device at the head.
Xin walked to the door and looked around.
Shi Jun on the opposite side was also looking around. They didn't understand what happened. I only saw protective personnel running back and forth in the corridor. There is smoke coming from the distance.
Xin Zheng was lying on the door of that room. Suddenly there was a clear "beep" sound, and then the door was unlocked.
Xin opened the door, and water sprayed from the fire protection device in the corridor splashed on her body.
Because of the fire alarm, the emergency device was activated and all the doors were unlocked.
"There is a fire now. Please don't panic and leave in an orderly manner in the direction of the exit. There is a green indicator light in the direction of the exit..." The announcement was played repeatedly.
The door on the opposite side also opened, and Shi Jun pushed it open. I saw Xin opposite.
"What...is going on?" Shi Jun asked.
Xin shook his head. The smoke has spread here. They cough slightly. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands.
A person wearing protective clothing ran from a distance. His white clothes had been half smoked by the smoke. He passed in front of Shi Jun. He was pulled back by Shi Jun.
"What's going on?" Shi Jun asked.
When the man saw it, he was a patient in isolation. I was stunned there at first. Then he said through the microphone in the helmet: "There was a fire in the isolation layer..."
He finally broke free from Shi Jun's hand.
"I can't control that much anymore." Xin: "Let's get out of here quickly." Wan and Shi Jun ran along the exit. The thick smoke follows behind. The fire seemed very fierce.
From a distance, I saw the green light of the exit safety ladder. The thick smoke came from behind in the blink of an eye.
Xin and Shi Jun covered their mouths, but they couldn't help but choke on the smoke.
The door at the stairway has been opened. The original isolation floor-to-ceiling electronic glass here has also lost its function.
This is a good opportunity to escape.
Just about to go downstairs. Xin's peripheral vision caught sight of the thick black smoke. There is a figure walking slowly in the corridor.
"Shi Jun, look, there is someone else. Could it be a colleague who is quarantined with us?"
Shi Jun took a closer look and saw that someone was indeed coming. He hurriedly called: "Hey, this way."
The black shadow came out of the thick smoke.
Shi Jun and Xin froze there in horror.
That was a woman whose whole body was covered in scabs, but her face was still clear. Long wavy hair. The hair has been burned by fire in some places and is still smoking. Her eyes rolled back. The only scary thing is that her mouth is split due to rot. The lower jaw was already drooped on the chest. The white teeth and gums are exposed. There are also torn facial muscles.
The way she looks is scary.
"Xin, get out of here quickly, she is a person infected with "corpse bacteria"." Shi Jun pulled Xin down the stairs.
The big-mouthed woman slowly moved to the fire escape. It made a sound like a snake spitting a message.
"But, if you are infected with the virus, wouldn't your stomach become bloated?" Xin asked questions as he went downstairs.
"I don't know. But how can such a person still be a normal person?" Shi Jun.
They kept going down. When walking to the 5th floor. I saw the protection guard in white clothes just now.
He looked down at the corner.
"You..." Xin gasped and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The man turned his head and glanced at them. I found out it was the two people just now. So he continued to look down.
Xin and Shi Jun also looked down from the middle of the stairs.
"What are you looking at?"
I saw two or three dead people lying on the stairs downstairs. They were lying on their backs. The body has already decomposed. Or they were rotten in the first place. In the belly of a rotting corpse. There are several things about the height of a person. Just like a hydrogen balloon. A round sphere. A thin stem is connected. Like a mushroom shape. Round mushroom cap. Elongated bacterium. Sliding red mucus like blood.
They are moving back and forth from left to right.
"What... is this?" Shi Jun asked.
The protector: "We are studying the corpses of patients infected with corpse bacteria. We found that although they have spread the spores, the corpses left behind still have a strong ability to spread the bacteria. They will grow a second wave of bacteria. Those terminals The round things are their sacs, which are filled with spores. As long as we walk over, they will be released automatically."
Shi Jun glanced at Xin. It is impossible to pass through here.
A faint sound came from upstairs.
"Shi Jun, that big mouth seems to be chasing after me." Xin.
They raised their heads and looked up together. But I can only hear sounds and cannot see shadows.
"What are you talking about?" the security guard asked, "Have you seen it too? The woman with the big mouth?"
The two of them bowed their heads.
"We haven't yet figured out the shape of the corpse bacteria. But we are sure that they have a strong ability to reproduce themselves. In order to spread the spores, they go from passive transmission to active transmission. This is what we have learned from studying patients with corpse bacteria, and we are not sure. conclusion. Because we cannot study how spores can evolve themselves..."
"Maybe you can get through these things at the stairwell because you're wearing protective clothing. As long as they all explode, maybe we can get through." Shi Jun.
"This is unlikely. Even if it explodes, we may not be infected here." Xin.
"You still don't know. We call the fungus that grows from the corpse fungus "red corpse mushroom". If we pass nearby, it will not burst open, but will spray corrosive poison from the fungus head. Substances. These substances can melt your clothes and skin. And the spores are hiding in those corrosive substances. That is, if I pass by, my protective clothing cannot protect me, and I will become infected with corpse bacteria. . Maybe just pour it next to it. Use it as fertilizer."
Shi Jun and Xin looked at each other.
"What should we do? There is a beautiful woman with a big mouth on our stairs." Shi Jun.
"Then pass by the office on the fifth floor. There is a fire escape on the other side." Xin.
So they opened the office door. Passed by the office and came to the gastroenterology corridor. It seems very peaceful here. There was no one and no sound. The only sound came from upstairs, the occasional muffled sound of explosions.
"Are you the quarantined doctors?" That person.
"Yes. You should understand. We were the first medical staff to be quarantined." Xin: "Why were we detained for so long?"
"Quan?" The man laughed: "It's isolation."
Shi Jun and Xin don't agree with this method.
"Maybe you don't know yet. Several of your colleagues have been infected." That person said.
Xin didn't want to ask any more questions. Shi Jun asked: "How is it possible? They were still fine when they came in."
The protective guard in white stopped. Turning around to look at Xin.
"Some of you triggered the alarm because you saw the spread of corpse bacteria. When our first team went in, all the corpse-infected people had their stomachs exploded. We suspected that some of you were infected, but you didn't tell the truth. The facts It also proves that several medical staff have been infected with corpse bacteria and died."
Pictures of colleagues flashed through Xin's mind. Tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Now is not the time to cry. When you were inside, the outside was completely out of control. If you escaped, it may not be a good thing."
"Do you know what happened to the fire alarm in the isolation layer?" Shi Jun asked.
The white protection staff sighed: "Some time ago, a patient with corpse bacteria was sent. She was found by Huamei. She was already unconscious at the time, just like all people infected with corpse bacteria symptoms. Later, we conducted experiments in the isolation layer We studied samples in the room and found that the corpse bacteria in her body had a strong fission ability. We observed her. The ulcers and scabs on her body were not high. There was only a large area of ulcers on her mouth. She had been in a coma until today. She suddenly Open your eyes. She killed 7 of our staff members."
Xin shook his head. ． ．
"You mean, she is the loud-mouthed girl upstairs?" Shi Jun asked.
The man in white lost his head.
