Specialized personnel sent from above quickly arrived at the scene. After a preliminary inspection of the corpses inside the container, they confirmed that almost all of the dozens of corpses were severely dehydrated. Thousands of milliliters of blood-water mixture could be extracted from the abdominal cavity at one time.

Such inspection results surprised everyone present. What was even more surprising was that this was not the end. Originally, after all the corpses were collected and the containers were disinfected, an autopsy report came out from the laboratory.

Mixtures such as corpses and feces contain a large amount of Escherichia coli, and those people died from bacterial infection!

Holding this report, Han Mingzhi frowned, "In other words, these people may have all died when they were at sea?"

"um, yes."

The person sent by the forensic office was a top student who had just graduated from Seoul National University. He was fair-skinned and extremely handsome. Several female police officers secretly looked at him along the way.

"The matter is very serious, Inspector Han. I need you to report it to a higher-level department immediately."

The top student stared at Han Mingzhi without any sign of weakness and said, "This matter is very dangerous. I think this may not be a simple Escherichia coli infection."

"Oh? But in your report..."

Before Han Mingzhi finished speaking, he was interrupted by a top student: "No, although further tests are needed to confirm my guess, if it is an ordinary bacterial infection, it is not `长`风`literature`www`cfwx `net can cause people to die like this. Besides, even if it is an ordinary bacterial infection, have you done a good job of disinfection?"

"Of course, I don't even have this bit of common sense."

Han Mingzhi threw the documents on the table, "Okay, you can go out first if you have nothing to do."

"Wait a minute, Inspector Han, I heard someone say. Wasn't there a stowaway who survived but was not found?"

"Who did you listen to?" Han Mingzhi looked at the top student unkindly.

"Superintendent Han, I advise you to find the stowaway as soon as possible, otherwise..."

The top student shook his head and said to himself: "I hope my guess is wrong."

"Snapped."

The door was closed hard, making an unpleasant creaking sound. Han Mingzhi sighed with a headache, these students from prestigious schools. He doesn't know how to deal with others at all, he just likes to show off to his boss.

Of course, Han Mingzhi chose to forget that he was also such a person at this moment.

In any case, the proud young man was right about one thing. The surviving stowaway must be found as soon as possible.

…

…

"Dudu..."

In a residential community east of Incheon, a car drove slowly by, leaving several people behind.

A closer look revealed that the leader among them was Jin Yuanzheng and several others, including the girl who was still suffering from a high fever.

"Brother Yuan Zheng. It's really nice here."

The companion glanced around and was very excited. Although the houses here were not luxury villas, they were small independent houses with little traffic, many trees, and a very good environment.

"This is my old house. Let's go in. Let's avoid the limelight here for a few days first."

Skillfully took out the key and opened the door. He asked the few people behind to follow him in. The old furniture and floors inside proved to be an old house.

Especially if no one lives in it for a long time, as soon as you walk in, you can smell the dust in the air, and you can even leave a few footprints on the floor.

"Ah. Everyone, please sit wherever you like."

Jin Yuanzheng ran over in a hurry and didn't have time to bring any food. He opened the refrigerator, looked at the silence inside, rubbed the back of his head and said, "Oh. I haven't been back for a long time. Wait until I go out to buy something."

"Hey, brother Yuan Zheng, let's go together."

"No, I can be alone. You are strangers here after all, so you'd better be careful."

Be careful. After what happened yesterday, Jin Yuanzheng felt that he must have made mistakes and omissions in some link, which led to him being called by the police.

After making such a mistake, you must be more careful in the future, otherwise you will not have such a good chance to escape the police pursuit again.

Going out alone with his wallet, Jin Yuanzheng first found a drugstore and bought some common cold and fever medicine. Then he went to a nearby convenience store to buy some food and necessities, and slowly walked home.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Just when he was still more than a hundred meters away from home, a burst of abdominal cramps and nausea came to his heart. Jin Yuan's hand shook, and his pocket suddenly fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

"vomit……"

The sudden severe pain and nausea made Jin Yuanzheng unable to bear it, and he lay on the ground and vomited.

Jin Yuanzheng was not strong enough to return to his home. Ten minutes later, an ambulance roared in. Several emergency personnel pulled out a stretcher and carried the unconscious Jin Yuanzheng into the ambulance.

…

"vomit……"

Not only was he vomiting, Jin Yuanzheng, who was lying on the stretcher, was also incontinent in his bowels and urine. He sprayed all over the stretcher truck and even sprayed some on the first responders.

"Quick, get out of the way!"

The stretcher cart kept rolling its wheels on the smooth floor. Patients, doctors and nurses in the corridor avoided it. Jin Yuanzheng was quickly sent to the emergency room for rescue.

"The patient seems to be dying."

The heartbeat rate of the electrocardiogram next to him has reached more than 130 beats per minute, and Jin Yuan is losing consciousness. Brown liquid mixture is still flowing out of his mouth, and the water and electrolytes are completely messed up.

"Quick, get on the ventilator immediately."

In view of the critical condition of the patient, the doctor immediately took measures, first putting the patient on a ventilator to ensure that the patient received oxygen, correcting the acid-base balance, stopping bleeding, conducting anti-infection information, and conducting preliminary physical examinations.

Soon, after clinical examination and B-ultrasound examination results, it was initially concluded that the patient had severe bacterial infection throughout his body, severe hypoalbuminemia, severe liver damage, and high fever.

However, the doctor who performed the treatment was very experienced and did not panic, calming down the anxious assistant on the side.

According to the previous treatment methods, a series of comprehensive rescue measures including insulation, multi-antibiotic intravenous drip treatment, oxygen inhalation, total intravenous nutritional support, etc. It was not until three hours later that the patient's condition was initially controlled, and the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the emergency room. Go and take a short break.

He was still waiting for lab blood tests to determine next steps in treatment, but then again, bacterial infections like this were rare. At least in his memory, he had never seen such a bacterial infection.

Judging from the appearance of the disease, it seemed that within a short period of time, the bacteria suddenly exploded and multiplied... This was an acute bacterial infection, but it didn't look like it.

Maintaining this confusion, the doctor closed his eyes and rested for a while, and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Working in the emergency room for several hours requires the doctor to be highly concentrated and consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, as soon as he sat on the soft leather chair, he fell asleep without noticing.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu..."

In confusion, Dr. Xu woke up from his sleep, looked at the anxious nurse in front of him, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Dr. Xu, what's wrong, that patient..."

Rushing to the emergency room, Dr. Xu looked at the hematology test results and was shocked, "How could this happen?"

Let’s not talk about the examination results. Looking at the patient’s external performance alone, the situation is not optimistic. The previously stable condition was now like a roller coaster that had passed its peak and then started a rapid sprint downhill, faster, fiercer, and more terrifying.

RBC, HGB, and HCT are all constantly declining, respiratory failure, and further diarrhea with a large amount of blood-colored mixture are expected to be the result of bloody necrosis of the intestines and massive bleeding in the bladder.

"call……"

Dr. Xu took a breath and felt a little at a loss. However, before he could take any measures, the heartbeat on the electrocardiogram had already become a straight line.

"Dead, dead?"

Standing on one side was an intern doctor who had just graduated from university. Seeing the patient's miserable state, his mouth was trembling with fear.

"Everyone, be prepared."

Dr. Xu's hands were shaking imperceptibly, "Don't run around now. Inform the superior department and prepare for disinfection and secondary infection prevention. This should be ndm1."

"What? Doctor Xu, is this impossible? Isn't it written in the examination report?"

When several people nearby heard the words ndm1, they almost sat down on the ground in shock. They knew full well how terrifying this super bacterium called New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase 1 was. Just because they knew it, they were terrified.

Dr. Xu shook his head and did not explain further. As one of the few doctors in Korea who came into contact with ndm1, he had a bad premonition as soon as he saw the hematology test results. This conjecture was most confirmed after seeing that many antibiotics were ineffective in patients.

He has yet to give a more terrifying explanation to the people around him. ndm1 can easily jump from one type of bacteria to another. Once ndm1 combines with dangerous infectious bacteria, it will become a multi-drug resistant species. bacteria. This can be seen from the unprecedented complications in patients, how terrible this super bacteria is.

"Hopefully it's not too late."

Dr. Xu asked everyone to stay away from the patient's body first. He was thinking about immediately quarantining all the patients' contacts, and at the same time disinfecting the ambulance and corridors a second time...

Unfortunately, before his idea could be implemented, news came out that several people with the same illness were also sent to the hospital emergency room.

Doctor Xu's heart suddenly became cold.

…

…

Dr. Xu is still relying on experience to guess. However, in the professional biological laboratory in Incheon, E. coli containing ndm1 has been detected in blood samples collected from corpses in containers.

What is frightening is that this E. coli carrying ndm1 is not a well-known common species, but a bacterium with genetic mutations.
