Chapter 579 Infection and Mutation (asking for monthly votes)
"Huh? Wrench..."
When Kaif heard this, she subconsciously took a few steps back, as if she didn't want to have any contact with those lunatics, even though they were now disabled and unable to move.
Gu Ji also saw that this woman was timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
So she was given the task of finding the rope.
"But how could there be such a long rope in the experimental area? This is the sixth floor." Kafu was like a completely inexperienced child.
"Then go to the fire hydrant in the stairwell, remove the water pipes, and these curtains, and tie them together!"
Gu Ji gave her some casual instructions, then grabbed the rifle and left.
Come to the end of the corridor on the right.
The middle-aged patient who had been stabbed all over his body had completely died, but the real cause of death should be excessive blood loss, not the virus.
Gu Ji reached out and touched the body.
The body temperature was so high that it could even reach his fingers through the rubber gloves.
As a rough estimate, it's at least above 39 degrees!
to be honest.
If possible, Gu Ji would really like to take a closer look at the changes of these infected people from the acute stage of the outbreak to the severe stage. Will they really be like the driver in front of the bar who caused the accident, completely losing their mental communication and biting everyone they met? .
"Ka, the truck is full of demonic filth. They must be destroyed, otherwise the world will become hell, hell..."
Just as Gu Ji bent down to pick up the wrench.
The infected person who was crippled by him curled up and muttered some nonsense from time to time with his mouth full of blood.
Nepal is a religious country, with almost all the people believing in religion.
From children to the elderly, everyone basically understands some teachings, even the mentally ill.
"Truck, filth?"
Gu Ji couldn't help but become curious about these two words.
Although he knew that the brain of the infected person in front of him was not normal.
But psychopaths don't mean that everything they say is crazy, they just have problems with their thinking and logic.
In particular, some people with persecution delusions record the details of their surroundings and strangers more clearly.
For example, what he just said was probably because he saw a truck in the backyard parking lot transporting some dangerous goods through the window of the closed ward.
The so-called "filth".
It can be a strong radiation substance or a biological and chemical weapon.
This was probably an important clue, so Gu Ji stepped up and asked, "What truck and when?"
"Hehehehe, if I don't tell you, if you are in the same group with them, I will kill you all, all...ah!"
The seriously injured infected person was attracted by Gu Ji's questions, and as he spoke, his emotions became excited again.
But just when he was about to get up and hit someone, Gu Jiyi hit him again with a wrench, knocking him completely unconscious.
All right.
When asked, no one said a word.
Gu Ji stood up, shook the minced meat on the wrench, and was about to turn around.
"Ah! Ah! Sister Sima, save me! Save me quickly!"
Facing them, Kaif suddenly ran out from the fire stairway, holding a large bundle of white fire hoses in his hand, looking extremely panicked.
As a result, the rubber boots stepped on a pool of blood, and with a "pop", he fell to the ground.
"Run? I'll let you run!!"
The next second, a doctor in a white coat caught up at the door behind her.
He is very tall, young, and not weak in physique.
There were just a few bruises on his face, and it looked like he had just been beaten. But the most frightening thing was the pair of bloodshot eyes, full of murderous intent, like a beast about to eat people.
Gu Ji quickly pulled out his pistol and dagger and moved forward step by step.
"who is he?"
"It's the doctor from the outpatient clinic downstairs. When I was removing the water pipe in the corridor, the door to the experimental area was suddenly opened, and then he was pushed out. I ran quickly... Oops! Sister Sima, it's too late, shoot and kill him Got him!"
Kafu threw away the heavy water pipe, got up, rolled and crawled, and escaped.
And the doctor with thick eyebrows obviously shifted his attention from her to Gu Ji, and seemed to think that this "woman" was more threatening, "Where did you get the gun from?"
He seems to have just developed symptoms and seems to still have the desire to communicate.
Gu Ji's eyes moved and he felt that this was an opportunity.
After carefully checking that he had no weapons in both hands, he lowered his gun and said, "That's not important. What's important is, why are you here? I heard Kafu said that you were pushed out?"
"Sister Xima, why are you..."
Kafu wanted to say why she suddenly stopped fighting, but she was glared back by Gu Ji.
As soon as these words came out, the thick-browed doctor's expression immediately turned ferocious. Visible to the naked eye, the red bloodshot streaks at the corners of his eyes were congested, swollen, and spreading.
"Damn! These black-hearted bastards kicked me out because I was infected with some kind of zombie virus. Damn it, I'm obviously normal. Do you think I'm normal now?"
"Gudu..."
Kafu swallowed and turned her head stiffly, her eyes pleading with Gu Ji.
Any fool knows that this guy is crazy.
Gu Ji ignored it, but activated his characteristic skill [Empathy] with a soft tone.
"In this case, we should stand on a united front, because the two of us were also kicked out. How is the situation down there now?"
I don’t know if the skill effect exceeds the standard.
Or after being infected with this virus, my thinking becomes dull.
The thick-browed doctor really believed it. He pointed at the door of the fire escape and cursed:
"These black-hearted demons should go to hell. Now the police and several doctors and experts have taken control of the downstairs. They have collected all the food and water sources together, but isolated people individually according to wards. This is simply... Keep us captive like slaves..."
really.
A true professional.
Surprisingly, the physical isolation of the hospital personnel was carried out so quickly, and there is a large amount of medical supplies in the hospital, such as alcohol, to ensure that the hospital environment is disinfected every day.
In the long run, the spread of infection can indeed be effectively controlled.
only.
Absolutely no.
They cannot throw infected people into the experimental area and let them kill each other and fend for themselves. This is tantamount to direct murder.
"These demons! These demons deserve to die..."
"Sister Sima, him!"
Seeing that the thick-browed doctor was losing control again, Kafu hurriedly pulled Gu Ji's shoulder to remind him.
But how could he let go of such a good "source of intelligence information".
So he quickly asked: "You are right, they do deserve to die, so we must join forces. I have a gun and can deal with them, but now you must tell me the location of the four policemen and their patrol deployment!" "
"Okay, okay, let's work together, police, where are the police..."
The thick eyebrows and big eyes seemed to be controlled by Gu Ji. Just when he was about to go crazy, he suddenly fell into self-talk.
And recalling the memory seemed to be very painful for him. He covered his head and gritted his teeth to speak with difficulty.
It seems that complex logic and recollection will make the infected more miserable.
Gu Ji squinted his eyes and listened carefully to what he said.
It turned out that one of the four police officers was attacked by an infected person during yesterday's investigation, had his gas mask torn off, and was also splashed with virus-laden blood, and was temporarily quarantined.
So there are currently only three armed police officers guarding the area below.
One guards the main entrance of the hospital on the first floor, one is responsible for patrolling the ward corridor on the second floor, and one is in the fire stair passage. The three of them rotate every two hours.
"I see, so we have to avoid the main entrance, but this is the hospital corridor..."
Gu glanced out the window subconsciously.
His method was very simple, which was to remove the anti-theft net on the sixth floor, throw a rope and climb down from the outside of the building.
But since the rope falls all the way to the ground.
So if you don't pay attention, you can easily be seen by the police from the window, especially the police officer who is responsible for patrolling the corridor of the open ward area on the second floor.
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and began to carefully recall the fire building drawings he had seen in the corridor.
At this time, something seemed to be wrong with Dr. Thick Eyebrow.
Suddenly he pinched his neck, knelt on the ground, and retched.
"I, vomit..."
"Ah, sister Sima, what's wrong with him?"
Kafu was startled and hid behind Gu Ji, with only half of her head exposed.
Gu Ji frowned seriously and shook his head.
"I'm not sure. It could be a symptom of the disease, or it could be acute radiation sickness caused by being exposed to surrounding radioactive particles."
After all, he had just measured it with a Geiger counter.
The radiation value of this corridor is not low, even higher than that of the top floor.
According to Kaif, this doctor is just an ordinary doctor from the outpatient department of the mental hospital downstairs. He has probably never entered the experimental area, so he doesn't even have chemical protective clothing.
"Help, help me, I'm in so much pain..."
The doctor with thick eyebrows was buried in his own vomit and fell to the ground. His whole face was red from suppressing it, and he looked really uncomfortable.
For a second or two.
Gu Ji seemed to think he had woken up.
But in the end, the guy passed out. He came forward and touched his forehead. Although it was not as hot as the corpse just now, there were obvious symptoms of fever.
"One is afraid of pain, and the other is not afraid of pain. The front legs are trying to kill people, and the back legs are asking for help. I don't understand..."
Gu Ji was a little overwhelmed by the infected people he met.
But he quickly reacted.
This is the experimental area.
The radiation value is as high as 1700 millisieverts or more, which is a strong radiation area.
As everyone knows.
Radiation can not only destroy human cells, but also mutate DNA.
So when infected people are thrown here, will the virus in their bodies also change? It may be like Gu Ji's current situation, with no symptoms for the time being, or it may become more severe.
"He, is he dead?"
"No, he just fainted temporarily. Let's find something to tie him up and lock him in a room."
Although the doctor with thick eyebrows was not particularly aggressive, Gu Ji did not want this guy to suddenly go crazy and cut the rope at the critical moment when he was climbing downstairs.
Therefore, controlling him is the safest way.
Kaif originally didn't want to do it herself, but Gu Ji stood nearby with a gun, so she had to do it.
After settling the matter.
I took a few collected fire hoses and curtains, cut them one by one, and fixed all the ropes one by one with double knots. These skills are recorded in the self-rescue skills of the [Accident] category.
After connecting them together, Gu Ji searched for a laboratory in the middle area of the corridor on the right by dragging the end of the rope, and tied a fire rope knot on the sewer pipe of the building.
There is nothing special about this room.
But the floors below it, marked on the fire escape map, are all bathrooms!
That's right.
Whether it's an office, a ward, or a nurse's station.
As long as Gu Ji throws the rope down, there is a risk of being seen. At that time, these policemen can just stick their guns out of the window and shoot him a few times.
He doesn't even have a place to hide, so he can only wait to die.
On the other hand, the bathroom.
Because everyone is isolated, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating must all be done in the house, so the bathroom has become the room with the lowest utilization rate at present. In addition, when people are in a hurry, they often go straight to the urinal and squat toilet, and it is easy to ignore the window.
Unless Gu Ji is really unlucky.
Otherwise, it is difficult to be discovered.
So next, Gu Ji smashed all the glass with a wrench, found the bolt holes, and used the wrench to remove all the fixing bolts one by one.
After completely removing the anti-theft net, he called Kafu for help.
"Quick, bring all the ropes!"
"Oh!"
Kafu looked down through the unobstructed window and felt dizzy. "But it's so high here. If we climb down like this, won't we fall to death?"
"If you're scared, you can wait for me to go down and come back to let you out."
Gu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and directly grabbed the rope and threw it out.
Kafu's eyes changed repeatedly, and she seemed to be very entangled in her heart.
This is also normal.
Just now, the thick-browed doctor fell in front of him, which was enough to prove how terrible the radiation in the experimental area was. Either he was killed by radiation or he might fall to death. Obviously, the latter had a higher chance of winning.
As for Gu Ji's words.
She was not a fool.
If Gu Ji failed, she would still die.
Thinking of failure, Kaifu reacted immediately, "Sister Sima, what should we do after we go down? Do you have the confidence to beat those three policemen?"
"No, but I have my own way."
Gu Ji looked calm, as if he had a plan in mind.
Seeing the end of the rope fall to the ground at a safe distance, he pulled it twice to make sure there was no looseness, then he directly flipped over the window and slid down holding the rope.
For Gu Ji, who had parachuted countless times in CTOC.
High-altitude rappelling was already familiar to him.
He relaxed his hands and legs slightly, slid down one meter, and then used the friction and clamping of the chemical protective suit and tactical boots at the same time, then stepped on the wall, adjusted his posture, and continued to slide...
And so on.
Gu Ji watched the rooftop getting farther and farther away from him.
Until he reached the second floor.
Sure enough.
There was no movement in the bathroom on the second floor.
But in the next second, a figure suddenly passed by the half-open door.
Gu Ji instinctively pulled out the pistol at his waist, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure disappear quickly.
It seems that his guess was correct.
After landing smoothly.
This feeling of stepping on the ground again and letting the sun hit your body should theoretically be very comfortable.
But Gu Ji was wearing a chemical protective suit and a gas mask, so he couldn't even smell the grass and soil, let alone the sun.
But now was not the time for him to worry about his feelings.
Gu Ji didn't have time to care about Kafu who was still hanging on the rope. He directly loosened the gun strap from his chest, held ACE tightly in his hand, and moved towards the main entrance of the hospital close to the wall.
That's right.
He couldn't handle three policemen.
Then, could he not beat one person?
