Crisis Management Game

Whether it was Tapa, the guard who first developed symptoms, or the doctor who was shot to death by Gu Ji himself.

Not only can they communicate normally, they also have basic thinking skills.

For example, resist, call, open the door, etc.

But compared to zombies in movies and novels, these infected people are less aggressive.

At least they won't rush up to bite people's necks, scratch them randomly, and kill them.

If it weren't for his physical weakness at the time, Gu Ji would not have shot the male doctor rashly.

Gu Ji tightened the Galil ACE rifle to his chest, pulled out the pistol and dagger from his tactical belt, held them crosswise, and carefully arrived at the door of the sixth floor stairs.

Kaif followed and grabbed his shoulders nervously.

"Sima, should we go in directly like this? Do we want to throw something first to attract the attention of those lunatics?"

"Shut up."

Gu Ji let out a low groan, and first used the corner to observe the situation in the corridor.

Visible to the naked eye is a central office observation area blocked by a half-person high reception desk.

There are filing cabinets on the left, and rows of LCD TVs hang on the wall on the right, which display images from different laboratories and various research values, including the temperature and radiation values ​​of each room in the confinement room.

In the middle are various desks and chairs.

But now it has become messy, with tables and chairs tilted here and there, all kinds of discarded documents scattered all over the sky, and even several TVs were smashed.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the pool of blood on the wall of the left entrance.

If you read it correctly, there is a lot of yellow-green liquid mixed in it, which is brain plasma!

"Keep your eyes on the right."

There were straight corridors on both sides of the observation area. Gu Ji could only focus on one side, so he handed the other side to Kafu.

Although this woman is a little timid.

But she can survive until now, at least she is not stupid.

So, Gu Ji turned sideways slightly, walked through the stairwell, walked along the wall to the door, turned the muzzle of his gun, and quickly cut into the left corridor using the corner-cutting tactic.

Kaif also followed his request and moved to the right.

What Gu Ji didn't expect was that there was nothing on the left. Except for the medical waste scattered on the ground and a few broken glass shards, no suspicious figures appeared.

He continued to move laterally, approaching the observation area.

What turned out to be a disgusting scene.

The corpse of a nurse wearing chemical protective clothing fell at the base of the high platform. Her head looked like a watermelon that had been smashed into pieces, her face and skull were completely sunken, and various yellow and red turbid substances inside were splashed all over the floor.

Even though Gu Ji was used to seeing dead people, he couldn't help but be deeply stimulated by the scene in front of him.

"Safety on the left."

"Right, right, right..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kafu stumbled backwards. When he saw the female corpse next to Gu Ji, he was so frightened that he jumped half a meter high!

Gu Ji quickly turned around and stepped forward.

The gun was pointed at the center line of the corridor.

I saw that the worn yellow-green painted walls of the entire corridor were covered with bloody fingerprints and traces of plasma dragging. A figure wearing a hospital gown was lying near the corner at the end of the corridor. It was unclear whether he was alive or dead. die.

"Hold on to me and be alert to the rear at all times!"

After finishing his sentence, Gu Ji approached the target lying in the corridor on the right with a gun.

Kaif followed closely behind him, holding his tactical belt with her left hand and holding the dagger in front of her with her right hand. She took three steps and turned back, looking at the concealed laboratory rooms on both sides from time to time, for fear that one of the rooms would suddenly open the door and someone would rush out. "madman"!

"Uh-huh..."

"Yes, there is movement! He, he is still alive!!"

Just when Gu Ji walked halfway away, unexpectedly, the "corpse" in a hospital gown suddenly let out a weak groan, which scared Kaif so much that she turned pale and almost screamed.

"Shut up! Watch the back!"

Gu Ji gave a cold shout.

This is the difference between ordinary people and professional military and police personnel.

If Wu Kang was present, no matter what happened in front, he would not look back unless he received an order, just like Gu Ji would never worry about a sneak attack from behind.

This is the trust and tacit understanding between teammates!

The distance is getting closer.

Gu Ji finally saw clearly that the person lying on the ground in a hospital gown was a middle-aged uncle.

His injuries were very serious, his hands were scratched with sharp objects, and his body was covered with bloody holes. Next to his legs, there was a metal wrench stained with minced meat.

It seemed that the nurse in the observation area was beaten to death by him.

This is different from the zombie settings in film and television novels.

Zombies don't attack each other.

But these infected people in front of them will attack any human being, animal, or even inanimate dead things indiscriminately. The smashed TVs on the walls and the glass shards on the floor are the best proof.

"Ah...it hurts...it really hurts. It's fun. Are you here to play hide-and-seek too? Hahahaha..."

The middle-aged patient screamed in pain at first, but his shouting suddenly turned into laughter, which was completely unpredictable.

But according to Kaif, he was originally a severely mentally ill person.

"There is another person, where is he?"

Gu Ji didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him, and didn't even want to get close.

Even though he is wearing an M50 gas mask and no chemical protective clothing, the gunshot wound on his leg is completely exposed to the air. If this virus can be transmitted through aerosol, the closer you are to this guy, the easier it will be. be infected.

"Human? Where is there? Damn it! You are all guilty! I will kill you, kill..."

"Wow!"

"Ah! Be careful!!"

A sudden change occurred!

The middle-aged patient on the ground was venting his furious emotions. Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the room on the left. As soon as the door was opened, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards him.

Kaif screamed in horror.

Gu Ji glanced around and saw the cold blade coming. He quickly reacted by kicking his front foot on the ground and retreating to avoid the attack.

Then his upper body rotated like a top, and the blade of his left hand flashed, and with a "pop" slash, he stabbed the opponent's shoulder horizontally, stirring it hard.

"ah--!"

The blow missed, and the blade rotated in the flesh, causing the black shadow to scream in agony.

He wanted to fight back again, but after seeing that his back feet had already left the ground, he twisted his waist, turned his hips, and raised his knees. His front legs were like arrows leaving the string, his instep was straight, and he swept and hooked. With a "snap", he hit the black shadow's wrist.

This kick goes down.

The kick instantly made the muscles in Heiying's wrists numb, his fingers loosened, and the metal sharp weapon came out of his hands.

As the footsteps fell, Gu Ji covered his face with a mask, his eyes were as cold as knives. He picked up the pistol with his right hand, pointed it at the black figure's face, and hit it continuously in an instant, one time harder and the other harder.

Not a few tricks.

The black shadow had a collapsed nose, hematomas on his eyelids, a face covered in blood and flesh, and was kneeling on the ground.

"this……"

Kafu had already run out of the room five meters away and hid.

Seeing this scene, I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped.

After finishing off the last madman, Gu Ji pulled out his dagger, rubbed the gun handle on the hospital gown to remove the blood, and said, "Is there anyone else?"

"Ying, it should be gone!"

Kaif hurried over.

"Then go and find me a set of chemical protective clothing, as well as alcohol, gauze and food!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

After witnessing Gu Ji's bloody methods, Kafu still dared not to listen to his words. She turned around and rushed into a room and began to collect the supplies he mentioned.

Gu Ji took a few steps back.

Start taking a closer look at the two infected people.

There was an error in his previous inference. After these lunatics were infected with the Madness Virus, it was not that they had no sense of pain. Instead, they secreted a large amount of adrenaline just like normal human beings fighting, which weakened the pain to a certain extent.

Speaking of the root cause, there are still emotional changes: irritable and irritable, unable to control the desire to attack.

This is very similar to the symptoms of some mental illnesses.

As for the cause of mental illness, in addition to genetics and external stimulation, the main cause is damage to the central dopaminergic system of the brain, or damage to the frontal lobe, basal ganglia, and temporal lobe.

To put it harshly, my "brain" is broken.

So is it understandable that the pathogenesis of this unknown virus that can drive people crazy is destroying the nervous system of the human brain?

This made Gu Ji think of a virus classification:

Neuropathic virus!

The most well-known of these viruses are rabies virus, herpes zoster virus, and HIV human immunodeficiency virus.

Without exception, neurotropic viruses are extremely harmful to the human body.

If you don’t get vaccinated as soon as possible or receive active treatment, there is only one basic result: death!

Their pathogenesis is also very simple.

It enters the human body through blood or respiratory droplets, replicates massively in host cells, and then spreads to the central nervous system and peripheral nerve roots.

Among them, rabies virus is special.

It will go all the way up the nerves, invade the spinal cord and the entire central nervous system, destroy the neurons in the brain and cerebellum, and eventually kill the host!

The unknown mad virus in front of us seems to have a very similar mechanism to this type of neurotropic virus.

It is likely to cause positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions and aggressive behavior, by destroying neurotransmitters in the central nerves of the brain and stimulating excessive secretion of dopamine.

If the amygdala of the limbic system of the brain is stimulated, symptoms of emotional loss will also occur.

But these are not the most important to Gu Ji.

What he needs to solve most now is how the virus spreads and the source of infection.

Because the virus in front of him was a new type of virus that he had never seen before, it was impossible for him to do it alone if he wanted to study treatment options, vaccines and specific drugs through the pathogenesis.

To put it more bluntly, even a country cannot do it in three to five years.

Unless several superpowers join forces to cooperate, it will have to be calculated on a monthly basis.

so.

The fastest way to solve this crisis is to identify the source of infection, first "strangle" the source, and then determine the mode of transmission and adopt corresponding isolation measures.

Only in this way can this "zombie crisis" be truly solved.

Simply relying on the force of the police outside to block the situation is just self-comfort and has no effect.

do not forget.

All the members of the extremist organization have already fled in advance. Among those who retreated, there must be people who are carrying the virus in the incubation period.

When the time comes, wait for them to break out and then introduce the virus into society.

First the city, then the region.

In the end, the whole of Nepal may fall! !

"Suck~"

Just as Gu Ji was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a heat in his nostrils, as if there was mucus flowing out of his nose.

He inhaled subconsciously.

But soon I felt some viscous liquid pouring from my nose into my throat. First there was a fishy-sweet smell, and then there was a strong smell of rust.

is blood!

Gu Ji's eyelids twitched.

Bleeding is also one of the symptoms of radiation sickness.

He quickly pressed the Geiger counter on his shoulder, and with a "buzzing" sound, a value as high as "1904" millisieverts was measured.

"Damn, what on earth are these guys studying..."

Gu Ji backed away while cursing, and used a Geiger counter as a detector to find the area with the lowest radiation.

At this time, he already felt waves of nausea welling up in his chest, his head began to feel dizzy, as if he was suffering from hypoglycemia, and his eyes turned black.

The next second, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu JiNeng raised his pistol.

"Ah! Don't shoot! It's me!"

Kafu screamed in surprise and quickly blocked the front with a chemical protective suit, "I have found everything you want!"

"Quick, help me in!"

Gu Ji was extremely weak at this time, as if he could fall down at any time.

Kaif didn't know what happened, and thought it was because she hadn't eaten for too long, but now no one except Gu Ji could protect her and let him leave this murderous experimental area.

So she helped Gu Ji into the office next to her and locked the door.

Enter the house.

Gu Ji glanced at the Geiger counter and confirmed that the value had become low.

Then he suppressed the dizziness and nausea and took off his equipment and outer clothing, but kept the pistol in his hand to ensure that he could control the situation at any time.

"Alcohol! Quick, spread it all over my body!"

"good!"

Kaif did everything.

After disinfecting his whole body, Gu Ji put on the gun-gray military three-proof suit and put on the tactical vest, belt and other equipment one by one.

So far.

He has truly achieved 360-degree protection without blind spots.

"All the supplies are here, but I didn't find any food..."

"It's okay, there will be food down there."

Gu Ji covered his head, sat down and rested for a while, and suddenly felt better.

At the mention of the following, Kaif's mood immediately rose, but then quickly retreated.

"But how are we going to get down? The access control system has been sealed. The doors are all made of metal and cannot be opened even with a gun. We don't have IC cards in our hands..."

"Who said you have to go through the front entrance?"

While speaking, Gu Ji turned his head slightly.

Following the direction his eyes pointed, Kaif saw the office window.

In order to prevent patients from losing control and committing suicide, the windows of the mental hospital cannot be fully opened, and metal anti-theft nets are installed on the outside.

But compared to the access control system.

The probability of this thing being destroyed by a gun is actually higher.

Gu Ji stood up and opened the window. He could open it inward, but there was a steel bar as thick as his little finger blocking the outside. He touched the edge of the protective net and found the fixing bolt. "There seems to be a tool wrench next to the middle-aged infected man!"
