Earth Era - v2 Chapter 400

If Wang Hao was not mistaken, it was from that time that the possible “radiation” had begun to affect the bodies of the astronauts silently. And… including the ship’s doctor Zhou Lu, no one noticed the changes that had happened to their bodies.

After the crew member named Feng Song approached Zhou Lu on the third day, the number of sick people suddenly increased. This is evident from the statistics: two on the third day, four on the fourth, and twenty on the fifth.

The number of cases began to increase rapidly. By the sixth day, all the crew members had approached Zhou Lu at least once, and a few people, such as Zheng Yang and Feng Song, had already approached Zhou Lu many times.

Obviously, the treatment that Zhou Lu took did not work. The crew’s condition was not relieved, but began to worsen. By the seventh day, even Zhou Lu herself began to feel unwell.

She wrote in the record: “My left arm started to twitch non-stop, uncontrollably, and I couldn’t even hold something with my left hand. Well… maybe some neurological reaction, I Just take some medicine.”

At this time, Zhou Lu did not think about infectious diseases. The reason is very simple. Although all astronauts in the entire spacecraft have been sick at least once, the symptoms of the disease are varied, and no two people have the same disease. However, the vigilance of a medical worker still made Zhou Lu pay attention. But after some inspections found nothing, Zhou Lu could only attribute the things that happened in the past few days to bad luck.

During this time, Zhou Lu was the busiest one on the entire spaceship. But her busyness only temporarily relieved the crew members’ symptoms at best, usually returning after a few days.

The turning point occurred on the twenty-third day. On this day, the first astronaut named Zheng Yang suddenly started vomiting blood, accompanied by intermittent muscle spasms. Zhou Lu injected him with drugs according to the corresponding judgment, but the symptoms did not relieve.

On the thirtieth day, the first dead person appeared. He did not die of disease, but by suicide. The monitoring equipment clearly recorded that scene. When the weak astronauts forcibly pressed him on the operating table, Zhou Lu, who was also weak, was about to treat him. He suddenly burst into a frenzy, roaring like a beast, and struggling to get off the hospital bed—in the process, seven or eight crew members couldn’t hold him down. He rushed over and grabbed a scalpel. Amid the exclamations of the crowd, he stabbed into his chest without hesitation.

Seeing the crewman in the picture who was slowly falling down, but with a relaxed expression on his face, Wang Hao couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Obviously, he chose to commit suicide because he couldn’t bear the pain above his body.

Video recording continues. He was dead, and Zhou Lu, the doctor on board, threw away the scalpel in his hand and burst into tears. An astronaut with a pale face but still maintaining his composure came up and comforted Zhou Lu softly – Wang Hao recognized that he was the captain of the Nimbus spacecraft.

Now that things have developed, no matter who they are, they realize that some bad things have happened in the spacecraft. And if it’s not handled properly, everyone will die.

They don’t have light-level communication equipment. Even if they have super-light-speed communication equipment, the existence of communication delay will not allow them to get support from the human base camp immediately – they are still more than 20 light-years away from the Phoenix Galaxy.

Only they can save them.

Zhou Lu, the ship’s doctor, became the most important person in the ship. Under the captain’s comfort, she finally calmed down, and began to consult the information, check, analyze, judge, and try to change people’s fate with her own knowledge.

Of course Wang Hao knew that even if Zhou Lu had tried her best, she still failed in the end. The people in the Nimbus spacecraft are still all dead, and the death is tragic. However, when looking at the records of the voyage and work logs, as well as the video and written records, all the astronauts began to unite, fully assisting Zhou Lu, comforting his companions, taking care of his companions, etc., Wang Hao still couldn’t help looking forward to them. The ending will be changed.

Miracles didn’t happen. The crew is still dying one by one. On the 62nd day, Zhou Lu wrote down the last work record in her life.

Looking at the picture, the left arm is festering in a large area, and even the bones can be directly seen between the upper arm and the forearm, and the two bones are not separated only by the connection of some flesh and skin, and the legs are also festering and even unable to stand up. Zhou Lu, Wang Hao’s heart is full of pain.

“I suspected it was radiation sickness, but we searched the whole ship, tested every part of the ship, and couldn’t find the source of radiation or the place where the radiation was present. I treated the crew according to the radiation sickness treatment method, but there was no Effect.

I judge that the cause of the disease is a genetic mutation, but there is no equipment for gene editing therapy in the spacecraft.

I put the crew into hibernation, but even hibernation can’t stop the disease from progressing.

I have tried every means and tried every means, but I am powerless to change our destiny.

I… I can’t bear the pain that befalls my body. I was in pain all over my body, like 10,000 ants crawling and biting in my flesh and blood. Rather than waiting a few days to die from systemic organ failure, I should end my life prematurely now.

If there are medical experts who can see these records, I beg you, find out the cause of our death, and don’t let us die in ignorance. “

After leaving this last record, Zhou Lu, the young woman who used to have bright eyes and white teeth and was full of youthful vitality, but now looks like a terrifying ghost, aimed a small pistol at her temple, then buckled it down. the trigger.

Wang Hao closed his eyes and opened them again after a long time.

Wang Hao obtained a lot of useful information from Zhou Lu’s records. During the development of this disease, the changes in various body data, as well as the performance of the disease at various stages, all play a very important role in Wang Hao’s follow-up research. But the records in the spaceship hadn’t ended yet, and Wang Hao was still flipping through it bit by bit.

The death of Zhou Lu means that the defense line formed by the crew has completely collapsed. Zhou Lu, who had the most medical knowledge, died, and it was impossible for the rest of the people to do anything.

So people made a decision.

“Preserve our bodies as well as possible to facilitate research by medical experts as much as possible.”

The undead crew members supported each other and moved the bodies of the dead crew members to a cabin that was most conducive to preserving the bodies—that is, the cabin where Wang Hao saw the bodies when he led the crew into the Nimbus spacecraft. After the corpse was transported, the people who were still alive did not leave, but stayed here.

Wang Hao knew exactly why they did this. Because they know that after they die, no one will come to carry their bodies, so they must come here first while they are still alive.

In the end, they did not resist the painful torture and chose to end their lives early. The captain of the Nimbus spacecraft struggled to come to the control room of the spacecraft, set up various parameters for the spacecraft to automatically sail, and then died in the control room.

The whole process lasted seventy days. Since then, there is no artificially added content in the logbook, but all are automatically generated by the system.

The subsequent logs are no longer necessary to read. Wang Hao closed the record and sighed deeply.

“I will definitely investigate the cause of your death, and I will not let you die unclear. This is my responsibility.”

The clean-up of the Nimbus spacecraft is still going on. The members of the action team are constantly going back and forth between the Nimbus spacecraft and the spacecraft that Wang Hao is on, and transport all the remains of the crew to Wang Hao. Wang Hao carefully inspected each body, recorded and analyzed every lesion on their body in detail~www.mtlnovel.com~ The number of specimens obtained from different parts of the remains of different crew members has reached thousands. Wang Hao First try to isolate possible causative pathogens from them. But this work did not go well. In the seven days of work, no unknown pathogens were isolated, some were only known ones that could coexist with the human body, or some could cause disease, but very Obviously traces of the presence of microorganisms that invaded at a later stage.

This has basically ruled out the possibility of serious infectious diseases. But Wang Hao still did not dare to take it lightly. While sending all the data to the expert team for review and analysis, Wang Hao also asked the soldiers who blocked the place to bring in a batch of mice from the galaxy to carry out infection experiments on the spot.

Gene sequencing work is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Just like the deceased Zhou Lu, Wang Hao also made the judgment of genetic mutation based on the existing data. Zhou Lu did not have relevant equipment for verification, but Wang Hao’s spaceship had sufficient and advanced equipment.

After twelve days, Wang Hao finally got the data. Looking at the characters one by one, Wang Hao’s heart began to sink.

These data confirmed the judgment of the dead Zhou Lu and Wang Hao, who is currently researching it. The diseases that appear on the astronauts’ bodies are indeed caused by genetic mutations. A large number of uncontrolled genetic mutations prevent healthy cells from dividing into a normal next generation, and as a result, all organs and tissues of the astronauts cannot work normally, and eventually bring severe pain and take away everyone’s life. life.

This is a typical symptom of radiation sickness, but the Nimbus crew has something special in addition to these characteristics.
