8:30 p.m

The city, which had been gradually quieting, began to boil again, and a bright white light shrouded the outer circle of the city, and those neighborhoods that were once dull at night now looked extremely dazzling.

A take-off and landing plane quietly landed on the edge of a small town more than 30 kilometers north of the northern alert station.

"I knew I would have worn a few more clothes, it's so cold."

Gu Ningning was hot and rubbed his hands, Hua Shen was wearing a thick 3-branch military coat and carrying a cabinet as big as a hill.

"Come with me to Ningning first, there's another one here."

When passing by the northern guard station, Hua Shen went directly to the guard station to get some clothes, Gu Ningning put on her coat tremblingly, still trembling, she pinched her nose, no matter how many times she came, she still couldn't stand the smell.

A breeze blew, the town in front of him was lifeless, there was no light, Hua Shen walked into the town quickly, and soon smelled a strong rancid smell.

"People don't go to the doctor, I just had dinner."

Gu Ningning found a corner of the wall and trembled, this place is the most serious area in the report of the special inspector of the 3rd section, and cans of liquid food can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the original logo of Sanlian Company was exposed after the coating was scraped off.

There appears to have been a conflict in the town, with signs of fighting, and a lot of liquid food has been thrown on the ground, some have been trampled flat, and the spilled liquid has frozen.

The merchants probably didn't expect that the Operations Section was in earnest, instead of doing nothing after saying that, as usual, and the 12 Divisions would announce some land recovery every day, which was equivalent to telling everyone in the city that the plan was about to be implemented.

Soon Hua Shen found a relatively large warehouse that looked like the original militants, which emitted a strong rancid smell, turned on the somatosensory light on his shoulder, a room of dead people, Hua Shen put on a mask, stretched out his hand, and immediately stretched out rows of test tubes on the left side of the big box behind him.

"The doctor is gone, I'm going to freeze to death."

Hua Shen smiled helplessly, and began to look for the corpses, many people looked like they had been shot, Hua Shen continued to look for the corpses that were slowly degenerating, and extracted NDA from them.

There are still 2,197 patients in the third phase of the city, although some have died, but there are new patients, and the four departments have found a way to treat the symptoms of the first and second phases, but the third stage is currently difficult to cure.

After a lot of research, it has been determined that what is added to this toxic liquid food is a complex chemical genome that can mimic the carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and inorganic salts that the human body needs.

In the follow-up investigation of the accident, the additives in the possession of the people in charge of the Sanlian Company were found, all of which had a precise particle grade ratio and could be manufactured by a large particle synthesis machine, but they had no idea what kind of effect this new substance could have on people, which could not be analyzed at the moment.

The human body will absorb this chemical genetic substance, supply the five major types of nutrients needed by the human body, according to the incidence of the barrier area, the human body will probably receive this chemical genome every day within a week of lesions, hemangioma is the main disease, but now the first and second stage of the cured people, the body is getting worse, some people have been blind, deaf, and even disabled.

At present, there is only one means of treatment, and the gene-enhancing medical agent developed by 4 departments forcibly kills the cancerous changes of human tissues in the body by directly increasing the body's disease resistance genes, but this practice will reduce people's lifespan.

But now those who have been cured have other physical conditions, which makes Huashen feel a little helpless.

According to the production data in the Sanlian factory and the confessions of the arrested members of the sales department, in half a year, the Sanlian company produced a total of about 1 billion cans, shipped at a daily volume of 5 million cans, and finally the remaining 100 million cans in the inventory went to the barrier area.

Nowadays, there are 838597 people with the official disease, and more than 1.2 million people are suspected of having the disease, these people have mild symptoms, there will be occasional anemia or leukopenia leading to colds, thrombocytopenia leading to subcutaneous bleeding, etc., and according to the shipment of toxic food, the number of potential patients in the future is more than 10 million.

This is Huashen's most worrying point, this fundamentally invisible crisis, will come one day, now Huashen must find a solution, before letting the end of the season help himself to run near the barrier, it seems unrealistic, the end of the season to fully recover, at least half a month, but now can not wait.

This new type of genetic chemical substance is more like a genetic weapon, Huashen has discussed with Gu Ningning, close to the barrier, is a no-man's land, there are still some fossils of bacteria and viruses alive there, Huashen hopes to use these microorganisms to develop an effective anti-vaccine.

Originally, the Blue Sky Company, which took over later, to deal with this batch of food and then distribute it, the easiest way is to detect the amount of these toxic substances in a can of such toxic liquid food, accounting for about 60% of the overall food, and directly use a large particle synthesis machine to extract all the harmful chemicals in it, but the cycle and cost required for this treatment work will definitely lose money after treatment.

Huashen's suspicion at this moment is that the AI developed within the 10 disciplines, only AI can do something so complex and concealed, so that humans are helpless, but there is no evidence, and Huashen will not tell anyone until he finds a way, Huashen is very clear about the truth that the wall has ears, because perhaps the enemies faced by human beings in the future are no longer the disagreements generated by society, but something else.

This time, Huashen plans to search thoroughly, try to find antibodies as much as possible, hope may exist in the barrier area, or there may be no hope at all.

Time passed minute by minute, Gu Ningning returned to the take-off and landing plane, trembling, she knew the seriousness of the matter, but she couldn't make a noise, such a big thing, if it was a large-scale search and search, once it was exposed, it would be a big problem.

During this period of time, Gu Ningning basically handed things over to the council members, and studied more powerful gene supplements alone, which may be the most effective plan to race against this crisis.

Recently, because of the last toxic food incident, the medical pressure has increased sharply, and many patients in the third phase can only use AI4 to manipulate medical mechanical care, but this is risky, because Huashen said at the southern security station that night that he suspects that the AI is the ghost.

At first, when Gu Ningning heard such a conclusion, he felt that Huashen was joking, because AI has been firmly grasped by 10 subjects until now, but with the follow-up research and accident handling, Gu Ningning felt fear, with the current level of science and technology in Bright City, there is no way to analyze this new type of chemical gene.

After a while, Huashen finally came over and handed Gu Ningning a suitcase.

"Ning Ning, there are NDAs for these deceased people here, when you go back, let the people in the department start researching immediately, I'm going to the next location."

"Doctor, why don't we send some more people."

Huashen smiled and shook his head.

"After I go back, I will take time to find a way to help District 29 and train a group of nurses as soon as possible, so as to relieve the medical pressure."

Gu Ningning sighed, Hua Shen turned around and walked out of the take-off and landing plane, his whole body was tense, green particles slowly floated around his eye sockets, and pieces of green hexagons like shields appeared in front of Hua Shen, and his whole person ejected out in an instant, and in less than two seconds, he could no longer see his figure.

"It's slower with a motorcycle, but at least save some effort, the doctor is such a weirdo!"

Hua Shen jumped on the hard ground in the barrier area, very fast, he tracked all the traces that could be seen on the ground all the way, there was a microbial detector on the outside of the backpack, once it found a large amount of microbial aggregation, it would alarm, Hua Shen would immediately stop and check the traces of microorganisms, most of the microorganisms would die on such a night, but there were some interesting things to be found from their corpses.

As soon as anything new is found that is not recorded in the database, Huashen will bring it back, and the production of antibodies for human needs is very closely related to these microorganisms.

Memories of the first time the Chinese gods set foot on this land more than 50 years ago, when the barrier area was not as many people as it is now, and the climate at that time was much better than now.

It is like a treasure trove of microorganisms, and many microorganisms that are not found in the city can be seen here, and these microorganisms occupy an extremely important position in the fields of medicine, food, industry and agriculture.

Compared with many edible salt, soy sauce, sugar and other types in the past, the taste agent produced by these microorganisms has a little metallic taste because it contains a little bit of industrial additives, but the human body can be completely absorbed after eating, and it can only be metabolized and discharged by the human body after eating the condiments in the past.

It's just that over the years, as Huashen has gone to the barrier area again and again, this place has begun to change, the climate has begun to deteriorate, crimes have been committed in the city, and the losers have been expelled in batches, and by the time they come to their senses, this place has become a human face purgatory.

At this time, Hua Shen stopped, he walked in front of several corpses, these corpses still looked fresh, the clothes on the whole body had been taken away, the body was covered with bulging pus, the body was purple-black, completely frozen.

It seems that it is already an advanced hemangioma, without any medication to relieve the pain, and he was greatly tormented by the disease before he died.

After examining their bodies, Hua Shen extracted some NDA and diseased tissue, and suddenly hammered the ground with his fist, and the hard soil crumbled in an instant.

After a while, Huashen buried these dead and continued on the road, there will always be survivors, no matter when, Huashen always maintains optimism in his heart, anxiety and uneasiness will not bring any good, no matter what kind of predicament he encounters, if he can't maintain an optimistic attitude, he can't do anything.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was no fire in sight nearby, Hua Shen knew that he had run nearly 10 kilometers, and he passed by a ruin, and he saw corpses.

Click

A wall that was about to collapse in the wind cracked, and Hua Shen looked at the walls that were constantly scattered and decomposed by the wind, and knew very well that in this month, at least more than 2 million people in the barrier area were eating this poisonous food every day, which was a bloody number.

The situation will be even worse, once a mass outbreak begins, this accident will directly kill 2 million people.

This is also the reason why Huashen himself came out, it is too heavy, so many lives, without any medical conditions, long-term consumption of poisonous food, will only accelerate death, and before death, it will last at least a week of torture, the best way is to kill these sick people, which is a relief for them.

After a roar of anger, Hua Shen sobered up a little, and there was a sadness in his eyes, this accident may be much more serious than any previous one, the Ekara virus, which had been raging here before, eventually took 500,000 lives, and was finally controlled, but how many lives will be taken by this new chemical gene accident, it is not known.

Hua Shen squatted on the cold ground, a sense of powerlessness filled his body at this moment, looking at a few dead children in the ruins not far away, Hua Shen stood up, continued to track the traces of the car, and ran.

The bright city behind him is still dazzling, and no one knows everything here, and may never know.

After more than ten minutes, Hua Shen saw some light, he quickly ran over, five cars stopped near a huge rock, the aroma of food wafted in the wind, Hua Shen quickly ran over.

Smack

An old man who was holding liquid food, his hands were ulcerating, the liquid food in his hand was knocked over by Huashen, the old man raised his head, smacked his lips, his cheeks were completely deformed, his eyes were only slit, and there was still liquid oozing out of his eye sockets, he grinned slightly, picked up the liquid food that had not been eaten, and drank it in one go.

There was a lot of liquid food scattered around the car, and one by one the patients who were shot and killed, the old man finished his last sip and picked up the gun on his back tremblingly.

bang

The blood was exceptionally bright in the firelight, Hua Shen silently moved his head to the other side, there was a rumbling sound in the sky, and Hua Shen slowly raised his head.

A set of take-off and landing planes roared by, food was being delivered, Hua Shen smiled sadly, pressed a can of liquid food, and his squeezing hand trembled slightly.

"What the hell should I do?"

Suddenly Hua Shen thought of something, he glanced back at the Bright City, at this moment his heart was extremely tormented, there was another way, after witnessing everything one after another, Hua Shen knew that there might not be any hope here.

"If I do, I might become a sinner!"

Hua Shen ran again, he still remembered that there should be a relatively large ruined city in front of him, at least go there and take a look first.

The cold wind was a little biting, the take-off and landing plane just now was really going over there, after 20 minutes, Huashen after 20 minutes, after constantly jumping nearly 30 kilometers, finally saw a large number of lights, and a large number of people gathered around the take-off and landing plane, 3 people held megaphones, and kept shouting for everyone to keep order, don't rob.

Hua Shen gasped, sweat was steaming on his forehead, he rushed over quickly, sure enough, there were sick people everywhere here, and on the outskirts of the city, a large number of liquid food produced by Sanlian Company was discarded at will.

"Maybe there's hope!"

Maybe?
