Plague Doctor

"You only have 5 minutes. Don't go too far. Come back as soon as the alarm goes off. And don't touch the things inside. If...if the actual situation is that you feel it is very necessary, you can decide by yourself then, but Don’t touch it unless necessary.”

Tong Ye gave instructions to the goa concentric team through the communication screen, his old face wrinkled, "If I touch it, I might have to amputate. You know the consequences."

The night was far from over, and the high-lights set up by the engineering team illuminated an outlying plain to the south of the mutation area, where a large number of people were busy. It has been just two hours since the third explosion occurred. Based on the average interval between the past explosions, they still have time to go in and explore.

The radiation dose inside is not large enough to cause the robot to malfunction. If there is something that needs to be touched, the robot can be put into battle.

However, no matter how sophisticated the robot cars and robots are, they are still a bunch of cold machines without souls or feelings.

To sense, we still need to rely on living people. This time, the Tongxinzhe team sent three members, Deng Ximei, Sami Walter, and Ivan Nikiforov.

If you walk in an environment with a radiation dose of 30.6gyh for 5 minutes, you will theoretically be exposed to a dose of 2.55gyh. Because their nuclear radiation protective suits still have a certain blocking effect, after various corrections, it is expected that each of them will absorb a dose equivalent of 500msv-1sv.

The upper limit of the safe value is generally 100msv, and when adjusted to the limit, it is 250msv.

If it is 500msv-1sv, their bodies will be slightly damaged and their chances of suffering from anemia and cancer will be greatly increased.

But now, there is no other choice.

"Ximei, be careful." When the three of them set off, Lou Xiaoning hugged Deng Ximei hard. This girl was really a miserable person. After almost dying, she had to live a few days without having to live a good life, and she had to suffer from nuclear radiation again. . But when it comes to perception, Deng Ximei is the strongest among the people here.

Peacock, Mo Qing, Uncle Dan and others next to him all also gave their blessings. They will not go in this time, but they will be willing to sacrifice when necessary.

"I will." Deng Ximei nodded without saying much. Her introverted temperament made her not good at expressing herself, and she did not say that her heart was actually very warm.

When the time comes, everyone is paying attention, as well as the night vision shooting of the drone and the live broadcast of the screens in Mobei and the headquarters command center.

The three dead soldiers rushed into the mutated area, dragging heavy protective clothing and holding automatic rifles. 5 minutes, 300 seconds, these are extremely precious 300 seconds. Every second is burning life, and every second cannot be wasted.

At this moment, people in the two command centers were filled with tense and heart-wrenching silence.

Deng Ximei breathed the air flow supplied by the oxygen bottle on her back. As soon as she stepped into the mutated area and stepped on the scorched black land, she immediately felt different.

The headlamp she was wearing illuminated her surroundings, but the radiation was invisible. It wasn't all because of this. She seemed to be able to feel the space being distorted... She looked at the trees in the distance that had not disappeared, and there seemed to be a strange... Power is eroding and growing...

She walked towards the north where the forest farm was, but her eyes gradually focused on the scorched earth under her feet. There seemed to be a snapping sound, and her head suddenly felt a sharp pain when she was concentrating.

Some shapeless phantom images flashed before her eyes, scorched earth, a larger area of ​​scorched earth, and black shadows all over the sky, half hidden and half visible. They had no wings or wings, but they flew in the sky, eating away at all the trees and everything. Life... what kind of race are they? They emerged from the scorched earth...

It was also at this time that Deng Ximei saw a piece of paper on the ground, half-buried by the charred soil. The exposed half looked like a poster.

She looked closely and saw that it was the sea, with two dolphins swimming, and a line of Chinese characters written on it, "Protect the ocean, cherish our homeland."

Where did this poster come from? Were you here originally?

Deng Ximei looked at the empty wasteland around her and saw no other garbage. Although the paper of this poster was old and damaged, and was slightly stained with blood, it was not rotten. It did not look like it had been buried here for a long time. .

She didn't know why, but a strong feeling surged in her heart.

This is the kind of situation where it's very necessary... This poster is very important, but you only have this one chance to get it.

Maybe when she turned around, or even moved her eyes elsewhere, it would suddenly disappear without a trace, like a hallucination.

Deng Ximei stretched out her right hand and bent towards the black ground.

…

The shadowless lamp illuminated the operating table, and the wave lines and values ​​on the anesthesia machine monitor screen were beating.

Surgeons wearing heavy protective clothing surrounded the operating table. Old man Tian Fuhou was lying flat on it. His wrinkled old face had fallen into a coma under general anesthesia. His damaged right upper limb was completely exposed, and there were already wounds below the elbow. The ulcers were so ugly that it was unbearable to look at, and the skin above the elbows was also a little red.

Chief surgeon Yang Rongzhong and second assistant Qu Longguang are concentrating on separating the median nerve, brachial artery, vein and ulnar nerve from the inner edge of the biceps brachii.

Third assistant Wang Ruoxiang was helping with ligation and hemostasis. Although he was the youngest in the operating room, he could complete every task smoothly.

Everything went quietly and smoothly, but also very nervous.

After that, surgeon Yang cut off the muscles in a circular motion under the cutting plane, and then cut the periosteum. The old man's upper arm did not receive much radiation and looked normal.

Soon, the extremely harsh squeaking sound of the electric saw sounded. Chief Yang held the electric bone saw steadily and cut off the humerus on the cutting plane.

.

Not long after, amid the splatter of bones, old man Tian Fuhou only had one-third of his right upper limb left, and the rest was sawed off, just like the trees that were sawed off.

The separated sick limb was immediately put into a lead bucket by the nurse, which is also called a radioactive source storage bucket or a nuclear radiation shielding bucket. Then the nurse hurriedly pushed the lead bucket with moving wheels outside the operating room. . The diseased limb will not be buried and destroyed immediately. The scientific research department still needs to conduct research.

At this time, everyone in the operating room breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing unusual happened. The old man probably just suffered from ordinary acute radiation sickness.

They continued to work on the radial nerve, then ligated and sutured it.

…

"Four minutes are up. Team of Tongxinzhe, please return immediately!"

A loud siren wailed, and everyone outside the dividing line looked nervously. The three team members didn't go too far, so they could still be seen. When the alarm sounded, the two men, Sami Walter and Ivan Nikiforov, immediately obeyed the order and turned around and ran back.

But there is another figure, that figure of a slender young woman, Deng Ximei. She has not moved since she bent down to the ground...

"Ximei!" Lou Xiaoning shouted anxiously, Uncle Dan, Peacock and others also shouted, "Come back!" "Leave!"

Foreign members like Helen Claire are also shouting. Although the team has not been established for a long time, they are already familiar with each other, "Please, come back!"

"Deng Ximei, Deng Ximei!" the radio shouted over and over again. The two male team members had already rushed out of the mutated area, but she still didn't move.

"The situation is not right." Lou Xiaoning immediately said to the command center, "Did Ximei faint there? Or what? We are going to go in for rescue."

"Wait a minute..." Mr. Tong was also anxious, but did not panic, "Is Amei sensing something? Or is there something there?"

The drone didn't capture it, as it was blocked by her figure.

Just when everyone was worried, Lou Xiaoning and Uncle Dan were about to rush in and drag Deng Ximei out. She suddenly moved, stood up quickly, and rushed out. Five minutes had passed, and there was probably half a minute more. She rushed out. The mutated area.

"Holy shit..." Lou Xiaoning finally breathed out, "Is the ray so delicious?"

But her left eye immediately noticed it, and Uncle Dan and the others also saw that Deng Ximei was holding a piece of paper in her hand, which was a poster.

"Miss Deng, what's going on?" Uncle Dan asked in shock.

"This poster is on the ground inside." Deng Ximei's voice was a little excited, a little confused, and a little creepy. "I thought it was very important, so I picked it up. When I touched it, I saw an illusion. There was a group of People drove cars towards a city, and one of the trucks was carrying a nuclear bomb, which they detonated... I think I also saw Arjun in a car there."

Everyone frowned when they heard this, they just... didn't understand.

Love the Plague Doctor.
