The night sky is dark, and the cruise ship is slowly driving on the endless sea, exuding hazy light.
In a luxurious suite on the high deck of the cruise ship, Gu Jun was sitting at his desk, looking at the small pill box on the table and frowning. It has been more than half a day since he got the box of pills as a mission reward.
, but his doubts continued to increase.
It was a small square cardboard box, just like the packaging of ordinary cold medicines, but the text printed on it was neither Chinese nor English, and he could not identify what language it was at all.
The medicine box contained a single row of medicines, wrapped in aluminum foil, with only 5 round white capsules.
There is no instruction manual, and the words are printed on the aluminum foil.
"There seems to be some impression..." Gu Junchu thought at first, "Is it the language of the writing on that pinnacle rock? Or what language in the world?"
However, now, he has been searching the Internet all night, comparing more than a dozen mainstream languages and hundreds of other languages in the world, and even those strange and small languages. None of them are the same, and there is not even a similar one. It seems that this kind of language is not the same.
Language is not a product of human thought.
Gu Jun had a vague feeling that this did not belong to the words of the earth, but humans have thousands of languages, and he could not tell whether this feeling was right or wrong.
However, targeted drugs for brainstem tumors? There are not many pharmaceutical companies on the planet that have such pharmaceutical capabilities, only a few pharmaceutical giants.
If this is a medicine produced on earth, the text on the medicine box should be in English, German or French...
In addition to this mysterious text, there is a same pattern on the upper right corner of the front on both sides of the box, the size of the logo, it should be the trademark. This pattern looks like the side profile of a marine creature:
The whale-like body, dorsal fin, and tail fin are all sharp and serrated, while the pectoral fins and pelvic fins are all weird limb shapes.
Just like the text, he couldn't find out what kind of creature it was, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the pattern revealed an indescribable madness...
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, his head felt a dull pain. When Gu Jun looked at the clock again, he found that it was almost midnight.
Previously, the system said that the task list would be refreshed after midnight every day.
He watched the second hand of the clock move. When it passed zero, he immediately opened the task list and saw that it had indeed been refreshed.
[Common task: Use an intravenous infusion needle to insert a rubber tube tourniquet successfully 1,000 times to practice your injection skills. Task reward: 1 box of human brainstem tumor targeting drug, which can extend the life of the host by five days
Difficult task: Successfully diagnose and treat 100 pediatric patients today. Task reward: 1 pair of Carlop brand anatomical scissors
Abyss Mission: Complete the dissection of 1 ghoul within a week. Mission reward: Unknown]
"It refreshes at midnight every day. Are you trying to force me to stay up late? I can't get enough of it..."
Gu Jun murmured in his heart as he looked at it. The abyss mission was still this one. It seemed that although the list was refreshed every day, the abyss level would not be a new mission every time.
Difficult tasks are not possible on a cruise ship; ordinary tasks are still very simple and only require scalp needles and rubber tube tourniquets.
At that moment, Gu Jun called the cruise service desk and asked for these two things. The reason was to practice acupuncture. Now that he was also a VIP, this small request was no problem. Soon, a waiter brought the things.
Both are enough for a small box.
After getting the things, Gu Jun accepted the ordinary tasks and started practicing at the desk.
The rubber tourniquet is the most common yellow hollow rubber band. When you prick it with a needle, it will have the texture of a broken blood vessel. Therefore, pricking the tourniquet is the first step for nurses to learn injections. Gu Jun has not received systematic nursing care.
Training, but I have given a lot of injections to experimental animals, so I am no stranger to intravenous injections.
He took the scalp needle and carefully inserted the tourniquet at 30-40 degrees over and over again. He had tried it before, and random pricking was not considered a "success".
After more than two hours, "1000/1000" times were achieved, and he had already worn a bunch of tourniquets. His right arm was sore and soft, and he suffered from hypermania at night.
At this time, Gu Jun heard another ding in his head.
"Ordinary mission - Mission accomplished!"
"Your Tranquility Hand proficiency has increased, and your current level is the first level (1500/5000 proficiency)"
"The mission reward has been distributed: 1 box of human brainstem tumor-targeting drug, which can extend the life of the host by five days."
Once again, Gu Jun felt his pocket sink. He reached out and took it out to see another box of medicine. Comparing the two boxes carefully, only the words printed differently in a few places on the box were printed differently. Those should be numbers.
Information such as batch and production date.
If you are a linguist, you may be able to see some clues. He can only see some medical clues.
"It looks a lot like temozolomide." Gu Jun took out two rows of ten white capsules from two boxes of medicine and looked through them repeatedly.
Temozolomide is the first-line targeted drug for brainstem tumors, but there are many types of brainstem tumors. Temozolomide treats glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma. Unfortunately, he suffered from myeloid
For blastoma, there are no targeted drugs on the market yet...
I don’t know what the ingredients of these capsules are, but they are obviously chemical drugs and small molecule drugs. Theoretically, when taken orally, they can pass the blood-brain barrier and then have an effect on tumors. It seems fine.
The question is, is this really a “targeted drug for human brainstem tumors”?
The more Gu Jun thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He looked at the quiet sea outside the balcony, but it seemed that he was seeing turbulent waves, and those indescribable delirium hallucinations were constantly tumbling on the surface of the sea. He saw a monster, which was struggling to escape from the abyss.
The cage needs food and fresh lives...
"What if I am food? What if these medicines are traps set by monsters? What if death is not the worst and most terrible thing?"
This thought made Gu Jun's heart throb. He stood up, looked at the sea, and clenched the pills in his hands.
The devil will trick you with what you want most.
That pinnacle rock on the seabed, this mysterious power...does your parents' research back then have anything to do with this?
Gu Jun took a few steps. Although Calm Hands is really effective, it does not mean that this box of medicine is also effective. Even if the mission is not long ago, before he can figure out the situation, he thinks that he needs to calm down in everything, because irrational decisions often lead to endless disasters.
.
This caution about the unknown has already overshadowed the previous excitement of regaining life.
Besides, as a medical dog, he couldn't do anything to test medicine directly on his own body...
Got it!
Gu Jun thought of a way to see if these two boxes of medicine were really effective.
He must hurry up. He only has 59 days left to live. It is like experiencing the damn countdown to the college entrance examination again.
