Chapter 577 Self-help (asking for monthly votes)
Is it her?
Gu Ji raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.
The figure that appeared in front of him was the female cleaner who had just escaped.
Perhaps because she knew her previous sin "Gu Ji", the female cleaner was so scared and nervous that her whole body trembled uncontrollably, "Don't kill me! I don't have any ill will towards you!"
"That depends on how much information you can provide me,"
Gu Ji didn't even raise his eyelids, and the muzzle of the gun never dropped, "What's your name?"
"Kaifu."
"Kaifu, now answer my questions honestly, why was I locked up in the confinement room, what are those professors and experts researching, and why has the hospital become like this?"
"I, I'm just a cleaner, I don't understand a lot of things, but the guards have repeatedly warned us that you are very dangerous and forbid us to communicate with you. As for the hospital, it was the day before yesterday morning..."
The female cleaner Kaifu hurriedly waved her hand to distance herself from the matter, and then told everything that had happened in the past few days.
So.
Since Gu Ji fell into a coma, the white coat who had fought with guard Tapa had problems.
That night, he had an argument with a patient in the confinement room while distributing food.
At that time, Kaif and the guards thought that he was upset because he was beaten too hard during the day, but when distributing food the next morning, he actually clamped a patient's wrist.
When the tall guard Ratwu arrived at the scene, he had completely lost his mind.
Result.
The scene of yesterday's dispute and fight was staged again.
But the difference was that Ratwu actually shot him directly.
Kaif saw that his condition was not right, so she hurriedly fled in the chaos.
The guards who were attracted by the gunshots had no time to persuade them, and the two sides broke out into a fierce exchange of fire, and the more difficult the situation, the bigger the fuss.
And.
The same violent incidents occurred among medical staff.
"You mean, the female nurse who gave me the medicine at that time pierced the doctor's eyeball with a hemostatic forceps?"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Kaifu's expression did not seem to be lying, Gu Ji frowned even more tightly.
From her description, it can be concluded that Tapa, who was the first to go crazy, was the first infected person in this "disaster", and the male white coat and Raut who had close contact with him at that time were all infected.
Although Kaifu was also at the scene.
But she wore a chemical protective suit and a gas mask throughout the whole process, and even the medical rubber gloves were double-layered. How could bacteria and viruses be easily transmitted into the body?
Then there is only one possibility:
The virus has actually spread in the hospital a long time ago, but Tapa was the first infected person to enter the outbreak period and develop symptoms.
This was also confirmed by Kaifu's subsequent description.
Xia Denan, who was in charge of managing the experimental area, the guy who ordered Gu Ji to be injected, suddenly asked the guards to move away all the data equipment, and left the hospital with professors and experts overnight.
Only the medical staff, peripheral members and patients were left to fend for themselves.
It was at this moment that Kaif began to waver in her belief in her so-called "father".
But just when she was about to leave yesterday afternoon, a large number of policemen and white coats suddenly came outside the hospital and began to prohibit internal personnel from going out, and then sent a team of policemen and a medical team to investigate.
As a result, in the evening.
The police outside suddenly increased the blockade and completely closed the entire hospital.
What's more outrageous is that not only can't they go out, but even the policemen and doctors who come in are stopped here.
There were several conflicts between the two sides.
But the official attitude was very firm, and even fired a warning shot, determined not to let anyone leave the hospital, and sent more policemen and armed policemen to ensure a tight blockade, that is, those people outside the window just now.
"So, you risked your life to come to me, do you want me to take you down?"
Gu Ji looked at her.
It seems that he didn't expect that this inconspicuous female cleaner would have such a scheme.
No wonder she can survive until now.
"You, how do you know?"
Kaif's eyes widened, her face full of panic of having her thoughts exposed.
In fact, this is not difficult to guess.
A normal psychiatric hospital only has outpatient clinics, laboratories, wards, and offices, and the "experimental area" mentioned by Kaif is obviously not a normal department.
It is likely that this is a secret base used by this extremist organization to study unconventional weapons.
Never underestimate extremist organizations.
As early as 2015, intelligence personnel from the United States and Iraq claimed that the extremist organization had established a branch to study chemical weapons and was conducting research and experiments.
According to a senior Iraqi government official.
The scientists controlled by the extremist organization have both civilian and military backgrounds. These scientists come from different countries and regions, including Iraqi military researchers during the Salim period.
And this was only ten years ago.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has long stated that the way modern extremist organizations carry out terrorist attacks is constantly escalating, and in the future it is likely to face the risk of extremist organizations launching chemical warfare and bacterial warfare.
Because for terrorists.
The harmful effect of a poisoning is far greater than that of a car bomb.
The police and medical team first sent by the Nepalese government should have investigated this point and immediately reported it urgently.
But I didn't expect it.
The severity of this matter has far exceeded the scope of official control.
Whether it's mysterious radiation or an unknown mad virus.
They don't have a solution yet.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of citizens, the official can only temporarily use the crude method of "one size fits all" to seal the hospital tightly.
And these people in the advance team have undoubtedly become cannon fodder and victims.
But they certainly won't sit still.
Especially those biochemical experts will give priority to screening high-risk targets in the hospital and isolate them together to the experimental area floor with the strongest radiation to curb the continued spread of infection.
This is also the time Gu Ji has been "shopping" for so long.
I only saw two people alive, oh no, the reason why Kaif is the only one left now.
"Yes, that's what I thought. Those police forced us to stay in the experimental area. Although I was wearing protective clothing, when I thought about what you said to me that day, saying that there was radiation here, my clothes couldn't stop it at all. , I will die if I continue to stay here, I don’t want to die..."
At the end, Kaif even cried directly through the mask.
Take a look at her appearance.
But it is normal for a girl of seventeen or eighteen to be afraid of death.
Now, the situation is clear.
A preliminary analysis can then be carried out.
Gu Ji lowered his head and his brain began to work rapidly.
First of all, there are three risk factors before them: radiation, unknown viruses, as well as infected people and the police.
Gu Ji didn't know why he hadn't been infected yet.
It stands to reason that when Tapa and the man in the white coat were fighting each other, he had no protection at the time and should have been hit long ago.
But since this is a brand new virus.
It cannot be applied to the characteristics of any infectious disease model in the history of human public health. It may be that the mode of transmission is special, it may be because he absorbed too much radiation in his body, or it may even be related to the central nervous system injection he received at that time. Drug related.
But what is certain for the time being is:
The incubation period of this infectious disease is very short, only 1 to 3 days. Although there are no symptoms during the incubation period, it is already highly contagious;
After the disease breaks out, the infected person becomes irritable, uncontrollable, extremely aggressive, and is not afraid of pain or death...
The latter point was deduced by Gu Ji based on the male doctor who just attacked him.
"It's not good. If you continue to stay here, you will only die!"
Gu Ji sighed secretly.
In the experimental area, there is a large amount of radioactive material, and it is also an area heavily polluted by infectious diseases. Coupled with the harsh air environment, there is feces and urine everywhere, a perfect aggregation of the poison king.
If you stay here for one more second, your life span will be reduced by one more point.
"Tell me the building structure of the hospital and the number of people downstairs, especially the police and the weapons they carry!"
"I, let me think about it..."
Kafu raised his head slightly, squinting at the ceiling, thinking seriously.
It took half a minute before she opened her palms and said: "There are less than twenty people downstairs, including seven medical staff and four policemen, all armed with long guns like yours!"
Four armed men, armed with assault rifles.
It’s not easy to handle...
Gu Ji asked Kafu to take her to find the hospital's fire escape map.
In the emergency escape corridor, he finally saw the whole hospital. The building has seven floors. The first floor is the outpatient clinic and examination area, and the second to fifth floors are wards, which are divided into open wards and closed wards.
When it comes to closed wards, access control systems and barbed wire are installed in the stairwells.
This is mainly to prevent severely mentally ill patients from becoming emotional and committing extreme acts such as jumping off a building to commit suicide. Ordinary people will stop at this level.
If you want to enter the closed ward area, you must make an appointment in advance.
The experimental area is even more rigorous.
It is almost completely isolated from the ward, but there is a special passage that leads directly to the parking lot behind the hospital, which is the area Gu Ji saw from the window before.
But now, whether it is the main entrance or the secret door.
They were all blocked by the police, and all the electronic access cards that allowed entry into and out of the experimental area were taken away by them.
"How many people are there in the experimental area now?"
"Excluding Dr. Kieran, who you just killed, there are still thirteen people left, and most of them are being held in the confinement room on the top floor."
"In other words, there are still people alive in the activity area?"
"Boom! Boom!"
As soon as Gu Ji finished speaking, two loud noises suddenly came from the stairwell door on the sixth floor. Kafu was so frightened that she immediately jumped on him and grabbed his arm tightly.
"Yes...yes! There are three severe patients and a nurse. They were already crazy when they were brought in. Dr. Kieran was afraid that these people would attack us, so he locked the stair door on the top floor."
"I see."
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.
It seems that if you want to continue, you will have to face attacks from at least four madmen.
He raised his wrist and glanced at the gun in his hand. He still had too little ammunition at this point. He had to collect a wave of supplies first. Otherwise, even if he could get rid of the crazy infected people, he would still have to face the four people downstairs. police.
then.
Gu Ji first returned to the corridor of the solitary room, resisting the stench in the air, and stripped off all the usable equipment from the corpses of the two guards.
Pistols, rifle magazines, military daggers, tactical boots, VOODOO vests, and M50 masks.
And the most important biochemical life support system!
Gu Ji turned on the Geiger counter.
"Buzz~woo~"
That familiar and classic noise appeared again.
And when he looked intently at the numbers displayed above, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
708 mSv!
Seaver's unit is huge.
Therefore, 1 millisievert is equal to 1000 millisieverts, and 1 millisieverts is equal to 1000 microsieverts for conversion.
As we all know, imaging examinations in hospitals contain radiation. For example, the radiation in CT examinations ranges from 700 to 3,000 microsieverts. The radiation dose at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant is 1,015 microsieverts/hour, which is equivalent to a person receiving 10 X-rays. Light inspection.
Radiation of less than 100 millisieverts at a time has no effect on the human body.
When the radiation dose is between 1,000 and 2,000 millisieverts, mild acute radiation sickness may occur, but it can be cured.
When the radiation is between 2000 and 4000 millisieverts, human bone marrow and bone density are destroyed, the number of red blood cells and white blood cells is greatly reduced, and symptoms such as internal bleeding and vomiting occur;
It can be life-threatening when it is greater than 4000 millisieverts, but it can still be treated, with a success rate of up to 90%;
When it exceeds 6000 millisieverts, treatment will be difficult;
When it exceeds 8000 millisieverts, the hope of treatment is very slim!
In other words, as long as there is no protection on the seventh floor of the hospital, cells will have been damaged by radiation and you will get radiation sickness.
And this is just the corridor.
Because when Gu Ji moved the Geiger counter into the confinement room, the value continued to increase!
In other words, he had been exposed to an unknown amount of sieverts of radiation during the days he had been imprisoned. His entire body, including bones, cells, and internal organs, had all been destroyed by radioactive particles.
He won't live long!
"Damn it, where did these extremist organizations get the radioactive material? There is obviously nothing in the confinement room, but the radioactive dust alone can have such a strong amount of radiation?"
Gu Ji gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.
Now, he had to find military chemical protective clothing as soon as possible, but the clothes on the two guards were all broken by bullets and were useless. He wanted to get new ones.
We can only go to the next level, which is the sixth level, to find it.
But there are crazy infected people on the sixth floor!
"Here is this knife for you. If anyone attacks you, kill him."
"Ah? I, I don't know how to kill people..."
Kafu took the dagger handed over by Gu Ji and when she heard the word "kill", she was so frightened that she dropped it on the ground.
Gu Ji ignored it and just said: "Then just ask for your own blessings, I won't save you."
Watching his leaving back, Kafu looked down at the dagger stained in a pool of blood, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, picked it up and followed him.
Come to the stairwell.
Open the door gently.
Gu Ji noticed that the fire stairs on the sixth floor that had been closed just now had been opened.
This is also what he thinks is the most powerful thing about this unknown virus, which is that while it can make people lose control of their emotions and become aggressive, it can still maintain normal basic human thinking.
