Plague Doctor

With a bang, the body that had been dead for less than two hours was placed on the autopsy table.

Cui Jianbiao, male, 49 years old, principal of Mobei Senior High School.

In the anatomy room of the Medical Department of the Mobei Tianji Bureau Base, Wang Ruoxiang, Cai Zixuan, forensic expert Zhang Ruiyuan and others were all wearing heavy, fully enclosed protective clothing, and old seal stones, surveillance cameras, etc. were all regularly arranged. They looked at the body on the stage, another victim of abnormal power.

The limbs and trunk of the corpse were still there, and the abdomen was obviously swollen.

The head where the "self-explosion" occurred has disappeared, and only a little bit of flesh is still attached to the edge of the neck. Everyone had done some processing at the school site before and found that the entire head of the deceased, including the skull, had exploded into a sticky light yellow liquid containing a large number of unknown parasites.

According to teachers and students who witnessed the incident, Principal Cui's head became transparent and then suddenly exploded.

How did this happen? How do abnormal powers work?

There may be secrets hidden in the skull, but now they can't find it and can only explore the remaining bodies.

Mobei Senior High School has been sealed off, and a large area around the school has also been sealed off. All personnel have been taken to an isolation base outside the city for testing and monitoring. No teachers or students have shown abnormal symptoms yet. It is still uncertain whether Principal Cui’s explosion released any airborne pathogens.

This disaster made the situation in Mobei even worse, but it could also be the same thing.

The Tianji Bureau and various departments are doing more work. In this autopsy room, their first task is to dissect the abdomen, upper colon area, and stomach of the deceased.

Because one of the main ways of infection by parasites is oral, that is, they enter the human body through food and drink. The imaging results showed that there were a large number of foreign bodies in the stomach of the corpse, which should be one of the reasons for the distension of the deceased's abdomen.

At this time, Zhang Ruiyuan opened the abdominal wall and peritoneum, and a burst of gas suddenly leaked out from the peritoneal cavity. Everyone saw that the peritoneal cavity was also filled with the light yellow liquid mixed with parasites. They all frowned, and the situation became even more difficult to understand.

Cai Zixuan sighed softly, I am afraid that all the tissues of this corpse are filled with parasites, which can infect the whole body.

Because they could see it with the naked eye, the blood vessels in the skin of the corpse's limbs didn't look normal, and there seemed to be something crawling inside.

Time was tight, and after all the abdominal organs were exposed, they found the stomach in the upper colon area. The stomach is all bulging from the cardia, gastric body to pylorus, and then to the duodenum below. Although the stomach is the most dilated part of the digestive tube, it is still different from the size of a normal stomach.

Zhang Ruiyuan took the dissecting scissors and carefully and slowly cut open the body of the stomach, exposing the contents of the stomach.

No one saw any common food, such as rice, vegetables, etc. There was not even a single bit of incompletely digested residue.

Principal Cui's stomach is full of brownish-yellow stuff mixed with gastric acid, which is easy to identify.

"It's dirt." Zhang Ruiyuan couldn't help but murmured, searching the stomach with dissecting tweezers, "It's all dirt."

The human body cannot completely digest soil. If you only eat a little, the gastrointestinal tract can still eliminate it and absorb the calcium in the soil. However, eating it for a long time, or eating such a large amount of soil at once, will only clog these organs, and minerals that cannot be absorbed and eliminated will accumulate there, causing abdominal distension and other symptoms.

Therefore, even if humans have pica or cultural customs dictate, humans are not willing to eat so much dirt at one time.

Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan looked at each other. Of course, this must be due to the influence of abnormal power.

But there is another question. Did Principal Cui eat mud because he was infected with parasites, or was he infected with parasites because of eating mud?

…

"Eat mud?"

In the command center of the headquarters, Tong Ye, Yao Shinian and others were watching what was happening in the anatomy room. They were all surprised, but not particularly surprised.

"Immediately take some soil in the stomach and compare it with the soil at their Arbor Day event that day to see if it comes from there." Tong Ye gave instructions.

Everything is shrouded in mystery, but there are clues to be found, but this clue stems from a very bad situation.

Investigators have previously reconstructed Principal Cui’s speech before his death from teachers and students. It may not be 100% accurate, but comparing what thousands of people said, it should be close to the original story.

It is unclear what kind of mental state Principal Cui was in at that time.

But it seems that Principal Cui is sane and his words are clear and coherent. It doesn't look like he is delirium, but more like he has been bewitched and brainwashed.

"A few days ago, just a few days ago, a change happened, and an opportunity hit me." From these words, we can know that the cause of the incident occurred within these few days. The Arbor Day activities received attention because investigators wanted to investigate the situation on that day, but found that no teacher who participated in the activities that day could be contacted.

Then, the investigators found that the students were also like this, and even the staff of the Forestry Bureau were like this too.

All the people present that day, more than 300 people, could not be contacted. The family also said that they went out to a party last night and could not find anyone yet.

And just before Principal Cui showed up at the school to ask for a speech, students such as Li Yuhao and Wang Jiawei all posted the same message on their WeChat Moments.

[I have seen God, and I am its incarnation in the human world. 】

Principal Cui also said this before he blew himself up.

Coupled with the current autopsy findings and soil, it can be basically deduced that the problem lies in the Arbor Day event that day.

What happened that day infected all these people.

It's just that this time the disease is different from the incidents in the past two years. It is quite hidden during the incubation period. None of the patients sought help from others or had any abnormalities observed by others. And in the past few days, the number of people who have come into contact with them is unknown.

The Forestry Bureau later did nothing about the wasteland because no personnel submitted relevant work reports. However, the investigation revealed that Captain Luo, who was in charge of leading the team at the time, was talking on the phone with a friend. Before hanging up, he said: "No more, some students seem to have dug up locust eggs."

However, Captain Luo never mentioned this situation again, nor did his friend ask about it.

Because under normal circumstances, this is just a trivial matter. Locust eggs are found in farmland and wasteland in Mobei, which happens every day this season.

However, Tianji personnel understood that this might be the problem, locust eggs...

"Eating mud? Could it be that you got this kind of parasite from eating the mud with 'locust eggs'?" It was not difficult for Tong Ye and the others to make a connection.

A team of investigators was investigating the wasteland. As soon as this new autopsy discovery came out, Tongye immediately transferred the Goa Concentric Team to the scene.

Tong Ye's sense of touch told him that the situation was not simple, and that the situation might be even more serious than that in the mutated area.

Yao Shinian's old face also looks a few years older. This is not just about the lives of hundreds of people, but also... where are these people now?

The command center has used Mobei City's Sky Eye system to search and track every face captured by every surveillance camera in the city, but has not found half of the target, and those people seem to have disappeared. But if, if every one of them is as sick as Principal Cui...

That is, hundreds of biological bombs filled with pathogens, out of control and ready to explode at any time.

Love the Plague Doctor.
