global pollution

He didn't hide his words, meaning that it might not be that serious, but in order not to guarantee mistakes, let's deal with them in a serious way first, at least to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

And even though he said so, Niu Changshou's decision was not completely irresponsible.

He has traveled to many places with other plague scholars, and has seen many incredible diseases caused by pollution. In the plague archives of the World Superman Association, there are thousands of plagues, large and small, that have been discovered and solved.

Symptoms that are more severe than the current type of insect phobia abound, but the contagion is generally not as serious as this;

There are many cases that spread faster than this, but the symptoms are generally mild.

The most troublesome thing is that they still don't know anything about the transmission route of nephrophobia, so it is very difficult for Niu Changshou to make this judgment.

"Is the plague still graded? What does grade [-] mean?"

Ask if you don't understand, Xia Ren is very interested in these new knowledge.

Especially the huge organization World Superman Association has just appeared in his field of vision. Xia Ren is very self-aware of his identity. Before he has enough information, he is not sure who is the enemy and who is the friend. It's best to find out the details of the other party first, so as not to be caught and sliced ​​for research if you say something wrong in the future.

He still needs to be a little bit wary of this, after all, according to his current understanding, the World Association of Supermen is a fanatical scientific research organization, not to mention Niu Changshou's identity as a robot transformation, just the words "Humanity will last forever!" I can see some clues. Their goal is to find a way to make humans and pollution coexist. For this goal, the members of the association can even sacrifice their own lives without hesitation. Presumably, sacrificing the lives of others will be taken for granted.

Looking at human beings as a whole, the sense of individual existence is as inconspicuous as a fallen leaf in the autumn forest, and life and death are of course insignificant.

Niu Changshou suddenly heard two beeps from his body, like a weakened version of the microwave beep. He lowered his hair for a while, then raised his head again, and explained to Xia Ren.

The World Association of Superhumans divides the plague caused by pollution into six grades after comprehensive consideration according to factors such as the speed of spread, the way of spread, the rate of disability, the rate of death, the severity of pollution, the degree of social influence, the difficulty of curing, and the difficulty of eliminating pollution. .

The lowest level is level zero and the highest level is level five.

Level zero means that the danger can be eliminated with a little intervention without too much attention.

Level [-] represents that the plague may infect thousands or even tens of thousands of people, requiring the association to send professionals to deal with it.

Level [-] means that the plague may cause more than millions of people to be infected, and it can cause social concern. The association needs to use part of its energy to suppress the development of the situation, and the resources within the association will be temporarily inclined to the research of the plague until the plague is resolved. .

Level three means that the number of infected people caused by the plague has been unpredictable, and the scope of the infection may spread to Blue Star, which will inevitably attract public attention, and the disease will be exposed to the public to a certain extent, and in order to ensure that the plague can be eliminated , The Association of Supermen will disclose all information about the plague to the Foundation and other organizations that maintain a certain degree of goodwill towards human beings to study together.But this is still within the control of the Superman Association and will not cause social turmoil and panic.

These are just some of the more critical effects. The detailed information on the classification of the plague is compiled in the "Disaster Record", which all members of the World Superman Association have permission to view.

It is worth mentioning that the severity of the plague increases tenfold for each level up, and the severity of the plague at level five is [-] times that at level zero.

It may sound complicated, but Niu Changshou explained to Xia Ren and the others the basic functions of the plague classification in just a few simple sentences.

But he only talked about levels from zero to three, but he didn't talk about the details from level three up.

"What about the fourth and fifth grades?"

What Niu Changshou said was very new to Xia Ren, which aroused his curiosity.

"Level [-] and level [-]... It's too far away from us. Our organization has been established for so long, and the plague of level [-] has only appeared twice. As for the level [-] plague."

Niu Changshou paused when he said this, and then continued, "If the fifth level really appears, then you and I can only follow the trend, and nothing can be changed, because it basically means the end of the world. The World Superman Association, and even the Salvation Foundation It will no longer hide its own existence, the Supreme Alliance government will lose control, the social order will collapse, and the pollution will be completely exposed to all human beings... Just thinking about it is too scary."

When the fifth level was mentioned, Niu Changshou subconsciously showed a little uneasiness on his face. It seemed that he did not intentionally exaggerate. The fifth level plague is really so terrifying.

Xia Ren inexplicably recalled the afternoon when he first met Zhao Mingyue a few months ago.

Did the phrase "the world is going to end" she said in her ear refer to the fifth-level plague?

When he was distracted, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Xia Ren took out the mobile phone and found that it was Li Wan from the Logistics Department of Dongpu City.

After connecting, Li Wan told him that the residence near Dongpu University of Science and Technology that he had ordered in the morning had been arranged. He called to ask Xia Ren when he would come over to have a look, and he also told Xia Ren the address by the way. If there is any dissatisfaction , you can contact yourself again.

Xia Ren said that he still had something to do, so he went to check on it later, and hung up the phone.

He checked the time, and before he knew it, he had been at the hospital for more than an hour, and it was now past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Niu Changshou thought he had something to do, so he took the initiative to say, "After the evaluation result is confirmed, the rest of the process will be rather boring, and I will also start to get busy. You can go to your own affairs first, and I will come to you in the evening when I have time. "

Xia Ren does have his own affairs to be busy with. For example, there is no code word today. Although there are manuscripts saved, they can't last for a few days.

Another thing is that he wants to go to Dongpu University of Science and Technology. He is very concerned about the circular pattern on the wall of the underground laboratory and the floor of Professor He Yue's living room. Li Wan said that it will be handed over to a higher level in the future. However, Xia Ren wanted to take part in it again. Intuitively, he felt that there must be some kind of connection between this plague and the incident two years ago.

"correct."

Xia Ren suddenly thought that he hadn't told Niu Changshou about Zhao Rou's situation, because he was afraid of misleading their thinking direction, but after listening to the vice president's explanation, and seeing the existing patients and remains, He thinks that what Zhao Rou suffers from should be insect phobia.

After learning about the plague grading system, he did not dare to underestimate this contagious disease classified as a third-level plague, and knowing that his only sister is still in Jupiter City, who can guarantee that Zhao Rou will stay in Jupiter City? In a few months, has anyone else been infected?

If insectophobia breaks out in Jupiter City, then Xia Qiudong might also be affected.

And Yu Jingjing, the place where she works is the hospital where Zhao Rou is treated.

.

Chapter 318 It's Snowing

You can't hide this matter from yourself.

The Affiliated Hospital of Dongpu University of Science and Technology has stopped accepting other inpatients, so there will be no outsiders passing by in front of the inpatient department building. Xia Ren also avoids the vice president and the two professors because they are also one of the participants of this time, you know A little more is good too.

It took more than ten minutes for Xia Ren to explain what happened to Zhao Rou in detail. Except for deliberately blurring the way she entered the dream, Cheng did not omit any details.

These include Zhao Rou's identity as a student at Dongpu University of Science and Technology, and the early diagnosis of interstitial chordoma, which actually contained a white worm egg the size of a grain of rice, and what Zhao Rou said in her dream that the worm There are actually two eggs, one female and one male, and they will summon their companions from another place.

The amount of information was a bit large, and many of Zhao Rou's symptoms were not similar to those of other cases. Niu Changshou pondered for a long time and asked a few key questions, "What is the interstitial chordoma she found out?" When? During the period, did you not show any symptoms of insectophobia?"

Xia Ren recalled Zhao Tianliang's description at the beginning, and said, "Probably not. Her father is a member of Jupiter City Councilor. There will be no shortage of medical resources. Various examinations must have been done, and the result was mesenchymal chordoma. And when her father came to me, he had no choice but to think of me as her daughter's only hope of survival. If there were other circumstances, he would definitely not hide it from me. Zhao Rou's sleep apnea and insect phobia symptoms are all It happened after I removed the tumor and eggs from the back of her head."

Niu Changshou then asked, "Is her brain damaged?"

Xia Ren said affirmatively, "Absolutely not."

Niu Changshou continued to ask, "How many days have passed since the removal of the tumor and eggs to the onset of symptoms of insectophobia?"

Xia Ren said, "I can't remember the exact date, but it's not more than half a month."

Niu Changshou paused, thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "Can ordinary people hear the squirming sound you mentioned?"

"It should be inaudible."

While recalling, Xia Ren said, "When I went there, Zhao Rou had already started treatment in the hospital, and some medical staff had monitored her sleep. The sound of those bugs crawling around was creepy, and some could even feel it. They pass through the body, and no one can ignore that sound, if the medical staff present heard it, it should be the Foundation that intervened that day, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Eggs..."

Niu Changshou fell into deep thought again.

The vice president and the two professors were also lost in thought.

So far, the cause of type phobia has not been determined. Although the loss of brain mass of the patient looks like it was corroded by some kind of parasite, so many corpses have been dissected, and no related parasites have been found. Insect trail.
