Chapter 150 Plague

"Mr. Rhodes, you are very healthy... all the data of your body are normal."

"No, I'm sick."

Hearing this, the doctor raised his head and carefully looked at the man sitting across from him. His face was pale and his lips were pale, like a stray dog ​​huddled around the corner waiting to die.

"Can you tell me in detail?"

"You may not believe it, I have been extremely lethargic recently, and I always have some weird dreams, not only that..."

Speaking of this, the patient called Rhodes was in a trance, and his bloodshot eyeballs made people feel that they would burst open in the next instant.

Mental illness?

According to him, the doctor roughly made a judgment and asked, "Have you taken any tranquilizers such as estazolam or zopiclone recently?"

These medicines can be used to treat various types of insomnia and keep people calm, but taking too much at one time or taking it for a long time can cause side effects, such as drowsiness, fatigue...

And these, just coincide with the patient's symptoms.

However, what puzzled the doctor was that according to the test report, Mr. Rhodes was very healthy—could it be that the machine was malfunctioning? That's probably the only way to explain it.

At this time, Mr. Rhodes, who was suffering from illness, decided to confess frankly: "Duloxetine, my friend who runs a private clinic once prescribed me a bottle of this drug."

For these friends who can get prescription drugs, the doctor said that he had seen too much, and did not dwell on it, and continued to ask questions: "Well, besides lethargy, are there any other adverse symptoms?"

"Last night, I lost a tooth. Look at my arm, it is covered with rashes." As he spoke, he lifted his sleeves, and hurried to the doctor like a drowning man grabbing driftwood.

After careful study for a while, the doctor opened the medical records: the patient had taken a large amount of loxetine, and had adverse drug reactions.

"Besides the arm, is there anything else?"

"It's the same on my leg, and it's even more serious. It's been bleeding out since the day before yesterday." Mr. Rhodes thought he was suffering from a rare and intractable disease, and he looked at the doctor in despair: "I'll be fine, right?"

"You go to pay the fee first, and then do blood routine, liver and kidney function tests."

The doctor answered irrelevant questions, acting very cautiously, for fear of getting into any trouble.

"I'll be fine, right?"

He shrugged his head and kept repeating this sentence, his voice was hoarse and miserable, his expression was dull and vague, no matter how he looked, he looked like a dying person.

"It's hard to say about this issue now. We must wait for the new test report to come out before we can make an accurate judgment."

"..."

Mr. Rhodes was used to this kind of answer, and the last doctor said the same thing, so in desperation, he got up and left.

"Within seven days, 13 visits to the doctor, and five hospitals were changed."

Seeing the hunchbacked figure leave behind the door, the doctor took off his mask and gloves, stared at the internal information on the computer screen, and muttered to himself: "This guy is a professional athlete with makeup on, hehe, his acting skills are pretty good. But what kind of variety show is it that makes it so boring?"

The aisle was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and Mr. Rhode felt disgusted and subconsciously accelerated his pace.

buzz buzz...

The phone in the trouser pocket kept vibrating.

【The World Health Organization issued a red warning. Experts discovered a new type of prion virus in the Inca region. According to existing data, the virus can be transmitted through blood. The symptoms are persistent fever accompanied by obvious neurological signs...】

[①Disorientation ②Hallucinations ③Drowsiness ④Nightmare and night sweats ⑤Redness and swelling of the skin (the lower limbs are the most obvious, with pus and oozing) ⑥Teeth loss ⑦Malicious attacks from pets...]

Seeing this, Mr. Rhodes, who was already restless, clenched his phone tightly. He felt that his personal information had been leaked by the hospital—obviously, it was a fraudulent message.

Look down.

[If you have four or more symptoms, please contact us in time, 24-hour emergency phone: ＊＊＊＊＊】

"What's wrong?"

A gentle voice rang in his ears. Mr. Rhodes turned off his phone and said with a forced smile: "The doctor said that I have been under too much pressure recently and need to rest more."

"Well, let's go home."

As the couple drove away from the hospital around 2 p.m., a man removed his headphones and put the telescope and stand back in the metal storage case.

hum...

Mobile phone vibration.

[Did patient 14 reply to the message? 】

Lu Li lifted the metal storage box with one hand, while tapping the screen with the other hand:

【He refused, therefore, I feel the need to take coercive measures】

The other side was silent for tens of seconds——

【According to the assessment, patient No. 14 will be turned into a beast at 10 o'clock tonight at the earliest. Be careful! 】

【receive】

Like the weird new prions, a group of self-proclaimed containment experts are doing everything they can to seal everything...

Of course, strictly speaking, Mr. Lu Li is not an expert. He has just arrived, and his current identity is a newcomer to the Foundation who has been employed for less than three months. He is currently performing his first field mission.

5:30 p.m.

The street stalls were full of people of all kinds, and Lu Li, who was carrying a metal storage box, was among them. Like everyone else, he was looking down at his phone while eating.

"Your friend [passer-by No. 1] sent a video file, do you accept it?"

"?"

"It's helpful for your mission, click on it and have a look. In addition, I suggest you watch it while eating."

It was a poor prank, Lu Li immediately made a judgment, but he still clicked [Accept]

The download is complete.

A CG special effect video starts to play.

In the upper left corner of the screen, a lighthouse is guiding ships to dock, and the sound of a siren is faintly discernible.

At the bottom of the cliff, about two or three meters away from the sea, there is a sewage outlet that is sparsely flowing out sewage.

Suddenly, a strong light came from the top of the lighthouse and shot straight towards the sewage outlet.

A skinless humanoid creature sprang out. Under the camera, it jumped high, and then grabbed the raised stones for strength. After two jumps, it successfully landed and disappeared into the night.

The camera zoomed in, and a few bloody marks appeared, which were obviously left by the humanoid creature, because the video quality was very clear, and Lu Li could see many details—every time the monster jumped, blood would splatter.

"What is this, a frogman just dissected by an evil scientist?"

Lu Li gnawed on the blood sausage as if nothing had happened, and sent a message to his friend [Passerby No. 1].

Ding dong!

A few minutes later, a reminder sounded, and Lu Li looked at the phone screen——

"He is Patient No. 6 on the file. Because he was not dealt with in time, he turned into a beast like this."

Ding dong!

"Scared?"

Land from:"……"

Inherited memories showed that he had received professional training before taking office, and he had watched hundreds of such novelty-seeking videos, so naturally he would not feel sick.

What's more, in terms of appearance, the reincarnated corpses seen in the last world are not much better-looking than this monster.

"Okay, I heard that you plan to act tonight?"

"Well, No. 14 is about to enter the diseased stage, and I must contain him before he turns into a beast."

"He? Call him another name, brother."

"In my opinion, you'd better give up observation and go to Patient 14 now. In fact, it was already aggressive three hours before lycanthropy."

"knew."

"You don't even say thank you for giving you such valuable personal advice?"

"Thanks."

"It's okay, son, treat Dad to dinner later."

The screen of the mobile phone is off.
