Chapter 514 The limbs of the child with birth defects
That evening, Deng Ximei arrived at the Dongzhou Medical Department base. When she saw the three babies with negative selection anomalies, she felt the same way as Gu Jun.
It seems that some abnormal babies bear the traces of alien life.
The more babies of this kind, the closer the connection between the two worlds is, and the greater the influence of the Black Goat of the Forest is on this place.
However, before Deng Ximei came to Dongzhou, she had seen dozens of abnormal babies in Dahua City, but none of them had this feeling. Is it only the abnormal babies in Dongzhou that have this condition? Because there has been no progress in Zuge,
Gu Jun and Deng Ximei quickly visited several cities near Dongzhou that night, and this guess was basically confirmed. Moreover, the mothers of the three babies who appeared temporarily spent most of their pregnancy in Dongzhou.
In this situation, an evacuation operation for pregnant women is urgently underway.
In a big city like Dongzhou with a population of more than 8 million, there are more than 100,000 pregnant women. They strive to complete the evacuation as soon as possible without causing panic to the outside world. This operation is not easy. But it must be completed. They stay here for one more day, and the fetus
The atmosphere of the foreign world is just one point heavier.
Dongzhou is no longer a suitable place to raise a baby, nor is it a suitable place to give birth.
But the pregnant women who were about to give birth stayed behind and were cared for by medical staff.
Because there are still too many uncertainties, if this is an epidemic, will it spread if they give birth in other places?
On the third day of this disaster, the number of abnormal babies in Tianji World exceeded 100,000. Not all of these babies can lie in the incubator and cry. Originally, even ordinary babies died at birth.
Among infants, the proportion is three times higher.
The one who did not die in infancy was positively selected, draws accounted for about 20% of them, and the rest of the babies who died in infancy were negatively selected.
Their causes of death stem from various causes, heart problems, liver and kidney problems, blood problems...
There was also a dead baby that seemed to be allergic to air. Within ten minutes after birth, he developed a severe rash all over his body. He couldn't stop crying and had difficulty breathing. Within an hour, he developed multiple organ failure. The medical staff on duty were responsible for the rescue.
There is no way back.
Negatively selected babies who died in infancy and those who did not die in infancy gradually developed more severe abnormalities.
Like Xu Qiuyue, whose eyes are all white, she has become a mild person.
When Gu Jun looked at the reported images of some abnormal babies with serious physiological defects or mutations, he felt a long-lost restlessness in his heart.
One baby's hands were shaped like sheep's hooves, not just in shape, but like two sheep's hooves growing below the human wrist. There was another baby whose limbs were deformed into foreign objects. X-ray results showed that the limbs were
There are no bones inside, it's all soft tissue, and it looks like the tentacles on a black goat.
The deformations of these two babies are typical, clearly showing the influence of the Black Goat of the Forest, but not only that, there are various other deformations.
Although some of the mothers of these babies did not have good prenatal check-ups, most of them did all the routine prenatal check-ups. Some even went through more detailed procedures, but still gave birth to babies with birth defects. This also exposed the
Another big problem in this disaster is that for pregnant women with abnormal babies, prenatal check-ups are ineffective.
The mother's last four-dimensional color ultrasound examination of the baby with tentacle-like limbs showed that it was a healthy fetus.
The baby's father held up a stack of color ultrasound examination results and asked the doctor, choked with sobs, how it could be like that. No one could answer him.
On those result images, there are pictures of the fetus meditating, yawning, eating fingers, extending fists... everything shows that the baby has normally developed limbs, hands, and feet. None of the prenatal examination results said there would be any problems.
Maybe I didn’t even say anything if I had a problem.
It was only a week between the baby's mother's last prenatal check-up and delivery. How did it become like this?
During the delivery, the couple could see clearly that the baby had not been changed, and that the baby was born like that, like a monster.
A large number of similar cases indicate that either the mutation occurs during the labor stage, or the results of imaging tests are affected by abnormal forces.
The more Gu Jun watched the reported images of abnormal babies, the more he couldn't sleep, and the more he became like Yu Chi, as if his neck was being tightened by a tight hoop.
As soon as the baby cries, the tight hoop becomes tighter and tighter, until it can't breathe or gasp.
Just think of how many babies are suffering, how many pregnant women, how many families...
He couldn't sit still, couldn't stand still, couldn't meditate.
Yes, yes, even if there was no such catastrophe, birth defects would still exist, and negative selection would always exist.
But...the number is not so large and the distortion is not so serious. This is a disaster.
Gu Jun tried hard to get himself to sleep, telling himself over and over again: "I need to sleep, I need to have a good rest, and I need to have the energy and strength to do the liver dissection." In the three days since the incident, he has had very little time for light sleep, and his body has deteriorated.
It is gradually approaching exhaustion.
If this state continues, even if a young black goat is placed on the dissecting table immediately, it will not survive for two days.
The remaining time of the mission is getting shorter and shorter, and this is like another tight hoop, which makes the throat unable to move.
Gu Jun couldn't sleep in the base's dormitory or building lounge, so he had to chat with Wu Shiyu.
Wu Shiyu has never understood the trouble of not being able to sleep. No matter how bad the situation is, she has the ability to digest it.
"How about I sing you a lullaby? Let me soothe you." She suggested, Gu Jun nodded in agreement, and she sang: "Meow meow meow——"
He really didn't expect this, but it did have some hypnotic effects.
Later, I heard Xianyu say that she learned this from the cat of Usa.
Cats usually don't suffer from insomnia. When cats suffer from insomnia, it becomes very serious, so cats' lullabies are very powerful.
At the same time, the Headquarters Medical Department is conducting a number of epidemiological studies. There are abnormal babies as the case group and ordinary babies as the control group. They are in the same maternity ward in the same area. The research subjects are the mothers of the babies, investigating them and mining their memories.
What were their pregnancies like?
Did the mothers of abnormal babies have any exposure factors during pregnancy, such as taking over-the-counter drugs, eating certain foods, etc., or where did they go, did something, or happened, which led to the birth of abnormal babies?
The Department of Medicine looked for statistically significant identical exposures among them.
Only by finding this connection with abnormal babies can we say that abnormal babies are not random and can they be avoided.
And crack down on the production of abnormal babies. Bad people can also give birth to children. If bad people know how to do it, they can give birth to many, many abnormal babies.
Tianji Bureau personnel in various places also give birth to babies, and an equal proportion of abnormal babies have appeared among the internal newborns.
And they still don't know how much difference the positive selection, negative selection and tie of abnormal babies will show in their growth compared with ordinary babies.
When the remaining time of the mission fell below 300 hours, and it was also the morning of a new day, Zu Geli screamed and rushed into the lounge where Gu Jun was.
"Found it, found it! Fei Bao and the others have found it! There is a cave within an area of several hundred square meters, right there!"
