Covering his mouth, bloodshot threads came out through his fingers.
The researcher looked down at the blood-stained test reports and radiographs on the table.
This large amount of information includes both patients' and his own. He has read it back and forth many times.
There are many things to confirm.
The first is the source of transmission, route of transmission, scope of transmission, lethality, stage of symptom development, and how to treat it.
For thousands of years, humans have been fighting infectious diseases, such as plague, smallpox and other diseases. Nowadays, effective prevention and treatment methods are available and they are no longer scary.
According to normal thinking, the effects of this infectious parasitic disease are not terrible.
The source of transmission can be cut off.
The route of transmission has also been clarified, and it does not pose a threat as long as it does not enter the human body.
The scope of transmission has not yet spread in the village.
But the scary place is not here.
She was concealed and lurking in the early stage, and then exploded on a large scale at a certain period of time. Just like pressing the button of a remote-controlled bomb, she had completed the purpose of deployment.
The efforts being made in this area now are not even enough to make up for the situation.
The really scary part is the lethality.
In theory, if this parasite can be removed surgically, it will not be fatal.
The same surgery has been performed by experienced doctors in the hospital not one thousand times but eight hundred times, and there is no technical difficulty.
But it is precisely on this most important and simplest step that I cannot proceed.
Parasites have countermeasures. Once stimulated, they will go berserk and secrete toxins to attack the host, an extremely powerful digestive enzyme, causing the death of the host.
He had only seen things with similar effects in the village records.
The strong acid of the Slug Immortal.
If you touch it, you will die!
The door I hope for is right in front of me, but it's so big and thick that I can't kick it open.
Without exception, not one operation has been successful so far, and all of them died on the operating table.
Now we can only hope that there is a drug that can suppress the activity of the parasite and put the parasite into a dormant state so that it can be removed surgically.
But this hope is also very slim.
Is it really too late to develop new drugs?
"Director..." A researcher came over with red eyes and handed over the latest research information.
"That's it?" the director said with some dissatisfaction.
"Xuan Yi is dead..." the researcher said sadly.
"Dead?" the director said, "so soon?"
So far, no one among the infected researchers has died, except for the original infected person.
"Suicide," the researcher said.
After a while of silence, the director nodded knowingly and looked at the research materials sent.
Currently, the entire research team is extremely short of personnel. Some are sent to support hospital treatment, while the rest are responsible for a large amount of work.
The task of testing the drug against the parasite was given to a team of two.
One person is responsible for using various drugs and poisons to kill, and the other is responsible for testing other drugs to suppress the activity of parasites.
Xuan Yi is responsible for drug killing.
And the result...
Taking a deep breath, the director looked at the research materials.
As expected, it had no effect.
"Director, currently only sedatives will have a little effect." The researcher said: "But without exception, resistance will soon develop, and they will still run wild under stimulation. Otherwise, I found..."
"What did you find?"
"Glucose can also calm it down, but the effect is only a little, at least it won't cause the patient that much pain." The researcher said: "But it will still start to run wild when it is stimulated."
what is this?
Raising insect babies?
The director looked at the researcher as if he were an idiot.
"Director, you are busy!" the researcher said goodbye and left.
The director returned to immersing himself in his work, and started to go berserk when stimulated. He always felt that there was something strange somewhere, some details that he had not noticed, and his mind kept recalling the details of the materials he had read.
At this time, people from another group came over to report on the progress of the work.
They are the medical ninjutsu team, a group that conducts therapeutic research using ninjutsu.
Looking at the excited researcher with empty hands, the director raised his eyebrows, it looked like it would be good news.
"Director, we have good news."
The researcher didn't wait for the director to speak, and said excitedly: "It is now confirmed that flames can completely eliminate this parasite, and raising the body temperature to about sixty degrees can significantly suppress the activity of the parasite."
The director narrowed his eyes slightly.
Very good, people are also cooked.
"There are some strong ninjas in the village who may be able to survive!
"The researcher said excitedly.
The director raised his eyebrows.
This guy is such a genius!
At least it's a way to survive!
The excitement in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
"So, what to do!?" The director asked anxiously: "Where are the civilians!
"
"There are no ninjas in the village who are particularly good at fire escape, except Master Lao Zi." The researcher said: "However, we can set up a fire to boil water and then soak the patient in it! Ordinary ninjas and civilians cannot persist, only those who are particularly good at earth escape.
Ninjas can do it.”
Cooking ninjas in a wok...
Although it seems very ridiculous.
However, when there is no other way, we can only treat the situation like a dead horse.
This method seems to be hopeless.
Without thinking too much and having no time to think too much, the director decided: "Try it first!
"
"Okay!" The researcher turned around and ran away.
Soon, after selection, a ninja with a strong physique was selected.
After explaining to the villagers, a freshly made cauldron was set up outside the hospital. After a fire was lit, the experiment began.
The selected strong man looked at the cauldron of boiling water in front of him and swallowed his saliva.
To be honest, he would rather lie down and wait for death.
What kind of torture is this?
The surrounding people were in commotion, watching this scene helplessly.
After a moment, the strong man bravely jumped into the boiling water.
"Wow! It's jumping!"
The people panicked for a while, feeling both magical and unbelievable. What kind of fuss was going on!
All in all, it's very rough.
This is how Mei Ji feels. When people are forced into desperate situations, they can do anything. They simply lose their minds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Almost immediately, the strong man howled like a pig in the scalding boiling water.
The scalps of the onlookers were numb, and some women screamed and cried. The scene was very chaotic for a time.
After holding on for less than a few seconds, the strong man struggled to crawl out, feeling like he was about to die.
The few ninjas beside the pot quickly held him down and said: "For the village! Bear with me longer!"
"It hurts, bastard! I want to come out!"
The strong man howled miserably, and the ninja couldn't bear to close his eyes, and increased the strength of his hands.
The people's whole body felt numb when they saw it, and they felt tortured as if they were experiencing it themselves.
A cruel scene unfolded before our eyes. The eldest brother in the cauldron kept crying and calling for his mother. Gradually, as the screams disappeared, the entire scene fell silent, with a sob coming from time to time.
The ninja picked up the red-boiled strong man and quickly moved the group of people into the emergency room.
Do you want to kill him half dead first and then save him?
The villagers thought it was great.
A faint aroma of meat floated throughout the place.
The children in the audience were crying.
"Mom, I don't want to be taken advantage of!"
The children burst into tears one after another.
Many adults also looked confused. They couldn't tell whether they were cooking bugs or humans. When they thought that it might be their turn, their whole bodies kept shaking and shaking.
so...
Outside the operating room, the surgeon in charge was holding on to the wall, his nose filled with the smell of stew, and he kept vomiting.
"What was the result?" the director asked.
"It's dead." The researcher cried and replied: "I didn't control the heat well, but the parasite is also dead! I can definitely do it a few more times!"
So, it's all cooked.
"You guy!
"The director shouted and stood up, raising his hand to beat him.
The researcher huddled humbly and protected his head.
Are you from Konoha?
The director has his heart set on killing him, but now he is short of manpower.
Didn't fight.
"Don't worry, Director!" The researcher didn't want to die and said, "We have another plan!"
Is it reliable!?
Suppressing the anger that was exploding in his head, the director nodded and said, "Tell me."
"In addition to high temperature, low temperature can also significantly suppress the activity of parasites." The researcher said: "As long as it is frozen quickly, it can be safely removed surgically."
"That makes sense." The director nodded in agreement.
"That's it..." the researcher said: "Relevant research on thawing and recovery technology can only be done abroad. We don't have experience and technology in this area. There is a high probability that you will not wake up after thawing. There are similar records in villages."
"During the World War I battle with the Kingdom of Water, many ninjas frozen by the Snow Clan will most likely wake up. A small number of them will have the sequelae of brain damage and lose part of their memory."
It seems more reliable than cooking.
Believe me again!
The director gritted his teeth and said, "Try it!"
The experiment started again. Since they could not leave the isolation area and there was no suitable area inside the hospital, they chose the open space outside the hospital.
The preparations for the early stage of the experiment were busy quickly. The iron pot was removed, the earth escape room was raised, and the stored ice cubes were moved in one after another. After the completion, a lucky ninja walked in wearing only a pair of underwear.
In the ice cellar.
The other ninjas in charge of the experiment were wrapped up tightly and accompanied him.
The ninja outside releases Wind Release to quickly cool down.
What's going on again?
The villagers were in commotion.
One hour passed, two hours passed.
As the closed ice cellar was opened again, a group of shivering ninjas rushed out carrying the frozen ninjas and transferred them to the emergency room.
The villagers gasped one after another.
I just feel so horrible.
Is this really possible? It's frozen into a lump of ice.
She was quite good at it. Mei Ji took a look and realized that the idea was right, but the technical skills were not enough.
so...
"How is the situation?" the director asked.
"The operation was successful and the parasite has been safely removed." The researcher gritted his teeth and said: "This is a major progress!"
I just wanted to feel happy, but looking at the researcher's expression, the director hesitated and asked: "Where are the people!?"
"I didn't wake up." The researcher's face turned pale.
"You guy!
"The director stood up with red eyes and touched his waist. My kunai is there!
"Director, don't you ask why?" The researcher said anxiously, "I think it can be improved!"
"What's the reason!?" The director stopped and asked depressedly.
"The main reason is that it's not frozen fast enough!" The researcher said: "If the cells were frozen instantly like the Snow Clan did, the situation would be much better!
"
So, should I ask Kirigakure for help?
"waste!
"The director pointed at the door and yelled frantically: "Get out!
"
The researcher who saved his life rolled away and crawled away.
The director sat down in despair and wiped his tears.
too difficult...
"Director..." A researcher walked in while pushing the researcher. He looked at the director who was wiping tears in surprise and said, "Someone survived."
"What!?" The director stood up in shock. This was the first successful treatment.
"The situation is like this." The researcher said calmly: "It is a special case. There are very few ninjas in the village who can do it. The patient is an old ninja who is proficient in the earth escape and hardening technique. He has profound attainments and actively cooperates with the treatment during the operation.
The internal organs have been hardened, and he has survived the rampant stage of the parasite, but there is no possibility of generalization. Even so, the intestines are severely corroded, and the whole person is still in a critical state. It is not known whether he can survive. If he were two years younger
At ten years old, there is a good chance that he will survive."
"I know..." The director waved his hand in frustration.
"If it is chakra, it can achieve the same effect and protect internal organs, so that our medical staff can input chakra from the outside to assist in protection." The researcher continued: "But the problem is that parasites will absorb chakra.
, the effect of chakra is greatly reduced. If the ability of parasites to absorb chakra is restricted through sealing techniques, I think this is a treatment idea."
"Is it too late to develop sealing techniques now?" the director asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I don't know." The researcher pushed forward and answered: "I'm not sure."
The researcher recommends glasses. After all, I am not a genius.
"Try it. Using sealing to restrict parasites is indeed a good way." The director said.
But the problem is that many sealing techniques are aimed at humans and tailed beasts.
Improvements are being made now, and the director has no expectations.
What's more, the problem is not here.
"Come on, you must know that the opponent you are going to challenge is Konoha's Insect Princess. She is not only a genius, but also a monster. No one knows if she has other back-up measures to temporarily change her strategy and overthrow all our
Work hard." The director said solemnly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes involuntarily.
"I understand, Director." The researcher pushed up his glasses and said, "I know very well how terrifying she is."
A temporary change of strategy...
The director was slightly startled.
"etc!"
Suddenly, the director yelled and stood up suddenly. His whole body was numb, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
Then he leaned over and quickly flipped through the information in his hand.
"No! No! No!"
While flipping through the information quickly, the director yelled frantically.
After a while, he turned his head sharply, looked at the researcher and said, "Tell me! Why doesn't she kill all of us now!"
"
The researcher's eyes widened slightly.
he does not know.
But he knew that Konoha's Insect Princess had the ability to do it.
Theoretically, the lives of all infected people are in her hands, and life or death depends entirely on her mood.
He thought of a possibility, but he didn't want to admit it.
He said in a seductive voice: "Maybe it's some kind of bad taste? No matter what kind of ninja they are, they all have a certain degree of psychological abnormality."
"wrong!
"The director collapsed and shouted: "No!
"
His whole body trembled with tremors.
That possibility may be more terrifying than death.
"Her intention was not to kill us! Not from the beginning!
"
"We were wrong! Wrong from the beginning! We were so scared!"
"Only those who try to remove the parasite and stimulate the parasite to go wild will die!"
"It's us!"
"Kill them!
"
After grabbing a dozen documents, the director slapped the researcher on the face, collapsed and fell to his knees, looking desperately at the smallpox on the ground.
"We are her slaves!
"
The hand holding the information in the researcher's eye was trembling. For a moment, he felt relieved that he had escaped death, but was followed by a chill that penetrated into his bones.
Just as the director said, now, he is a dog whose life is controlled and can be driven at will.
Unless, you want to die.
If you don't want to die, you can only put down your dignity and do your best to please your master, like a dog.
Therefore, after realizing this, huge terror enveloped the whole body.
Should this research continue? If I don’t do it, will she let me go? Spare my life?
I don't know why, but this thought came to my mind.
Then, an even more terrifying cold terror and shivers swept through his body.
The researcher forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
The director's blood-red eyes stared at the researcher in horror, with murderous intent boiling over him!
Director, what is he thinking!?
Does he think the same as me?
A chill went straight to Tian Ling Gai!
The researcher took a half step back.
A hand quietly reached to the lower back and touched the kunai.
Does he want to kill me and silence me?
Under the lens, his eyes quickly turned red, covered with ferocious bloodshot eyes, and his breathing became rapid.
For a while...
"listen!"
The director who was kneeling on the ground got up, his eyes were blood red, and he said in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to reveal this matter!"
"Ha!" The researcher nodded stiffly.
I still underestimated her terror. She is a bug girl, and she is terrifying!
The researcher turned around and staggered away, his face looking like crying and smiling, twisted ferociously.
