After testing the effective dose to cure first-stage infected people, Ivan began to test the effect of Jianbing Guozi on second-stage infected people.

He came to a second-stage infected patient, lying on a stretcher, his body festered, the fluid oozing out staining the stretcher beneath him yellow-green. His body was covered in pustules, and these pustules seemed to have independent lives, constantly expanding and contracting as if breathing.

Similarly, the patient still had that strange smile on his face.

Ivan first conducted a virus test on the patient, which showed that he was in the late stage two.

The patient is now rotting from the inside out. This is also the time when these patients are most vulnerable. At this time, a little force can tear his limbs off.

But in less than two hours, the plague virus in this patient's body will begin to reshape his body, and eventually he will crawl from the ground and become a new plague spreader.

If it were before Char had brought the pancakes, Ivan would have ordered the servitor to carry the patient and the stretcher he was lying on outside the church and burn them.

Now Ivan chose him as his experimental subject. He cut off twenty grams of the pancake and fed it into the patient's mouth, but the patient's esophagus and masseter muscles had rotted, and he had lost the ability to chew and swallow actively. He could not swallow the pancake for half a year, and then vomited it out with a burst of vomiting.

Seeing that active feeding didn't work, Ivan used another method. He took out a blade, cut an incision in the patient's stomach, and put the pancake directly into the patient's stomach.

The patient showed no reaction.

Ivan thought for a while, cut off 40 grams of the pancake at one time and put it directly into the patient's stomach.

The patient still did not respond.

Ivan stood up from this patient and walked a few steps to another stage 2 patient.

Compared with the previous patient, this patient's symptoms were much milder. The ulcers on his body were not serious, and there were only a few pustules on his body.

Ivan drew a tube of blood from the patient and injected it into the virus detection reagent, then shook it gently. Soon, a gray-green virus reaction color appeared in the test tube, but the test tube was not completely occupied by gray-green. About a quarter of the transparent reagent remained clear.

This indicates that the patient is in the middle of the second stage.

When a person's blood reacted with the reagent to produce a gray-green color, it meant they were infected with the plague. When the gray-green color reached half, it meant the patient had entered the second stage. If the reagent was completely stained, it meant the patient had already entered or was about to enter the third stage.

Ivan cut off twenty grams of the pancake and put it into the patient's mouth. The patient began to chew it instinctively and swallowed it.

Then, the patient who was lying on his back with a silly smile on his face suddenly became confused, and then he began to cry.

Gray-green liquid flowed from his eyes, and then, unlike the first-level patients, he began to vomit again.

During the vomiting process, he vomited a large amount of stomach acid and more gray-green viscous liquid, which was mixed with many solid impurities. As he vomited, the pustules on his body began to disappear rapidly, until finally, the color of his pupils returned to normal.

"I seem to be drunk..." This was the first sentence the patient said after waking up.

Then the patient tried to get up from the ground, but as soon as he exerted force, he immediately fell back and began to gasp for breath.

"I...I can't do it..."

Ivan ignored the patient who had just recovered. He went back to the patient with severe stage 2 infection at the beginning, cut off 20 grams of the pancake and put it into the infected person's mouth.

Then Ivan stuffed a water pipe into the infected person's mouth and used the water pressure to force the pancake in the infected person's mouth into his stomach.

Then, as he expected, the patient began crying and vomiting.

But unlike the second-stage infected person just now, this patient vomited to the end and began to spit out blood. After his pupils returned to normal, he collapsed to the ground before he could say anything, and then blood spots began to spread under his skin.

Ivan watched the patient's changes expressionlessly. In less than half a minute, the patient had completely lost his vital signs.

Ivan then returned to his lab bench, lowered his head, and began to pack up the reagents. He simultaneously issued an order to all the mechanical servants and medical staff in the church: "All those infected at the end of the second stage, incinerate them all. Leave no one alive."

At this moment, this huge cathedral dedicated to the Emperor houses nearly a thousand infected people, most of whom are in the second stage of severe illness, so they are sent to the place closest to the Mechanical Priest.

If we expand the scope to all the isolation points controlled by Char and Francis' forces, more than one-third of the infected people and one-fiftieth of the total population of the isolation points are in this stage or a more serious stage.

Ivan's words were equivalent to sentencing these people to death.

After hearing Ivan's crazy order, the robot servants obediently carried the qualified patients to the incinerator, while the others hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Although Ivan took a series of effective measures after the outbreak of the plague, and cured many patients with mild symptoms before Char brought back the pancakes, he was once considered the hope of fighting the plague. Therefore, even Francis chose to respect Ivan when facing his intentional or unintentional arrogance.

But now Ivan directly ordered them to kill people, and it was a massacre. On the one hand, they were indeed a little reluctant to do it, and on the other hand, the other two leaders in the church had not spoken yet.

Then everyone looked at Francis and Char, and Francis looked at Char, waiting for his decision.

"Set up a new isolation point away from the crowd and place all the second-level severely infected people there." Xia gave a compromise order.

Having followed Ivan's experiments all the way, how could Char not see that the effect of Howard's pancakes was not to "cure the plague" but to "expel the plague".

These pancakes can drive viruses and inflammatory polymers out of the patient's body, but the plague that is spreading now is not an ordinary plague. This virus will destroy the human body, transform the human body, and eventually replace some of the human body's functions and become a part of the human body.

The bodies of those severely infected have been corroded and riddled with holes, and they can only survive by relying on the virus.

At this time, expelling the virus from their bodies is no different from killing them, so Ivan gave such a cruel order. Perhaps in Ivan's view, these people are already dead, but they have not been buried yet. It is better to burn them earlier and save some resources.

If Ivan really wants to save these severely infected people, it is not impossible for him to do it, but that requires the use of a full set of top-level medical equipment that was used to treat Howard. The cost of using this level of medical equipment once can be more than the value created by a Zhongchao worker in his lifetime.

At the same time, Xia Ya also knew that this so-called compromise suggestion he gave was not much better than directly burning these patients. Although they were placed in a new isolation point, they would not receive any additional medical resources, and even their existing medical insurance would be cancelled. The final result could only be that all the patients in the isolation point would become plague zombies and then be burned.

But Char knew that the top priority now was not to treat and rescue the "dead" who were deeply infected, but to save as many healthy people as possible.
