Wang Dayong offered his guess, but his tone also carried a hint of doubt.
Jiang Xiao did not answer immediately; he stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.
After a moment, he spoke slowly.
"No, this is not an ordinary illness. This is the work of that 'god,' who has played a new trick right under our noses."
His words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
"Then what should we do?"
Niu Jieshi asked, his eyes flashing with fear.
"Go to the hospital!"
It seems the higher-ups are unaware that the brilliant doctor from Shanghai and Hong Kong has passed away, which is why they posted this information here.
They hoped the doctor could come out of retirement and solve the problem, so they didn't explicitly say how strange it was.
Besides, Jiang Xiao and the others have extraordinary physical constitutions, so they are not afraid of the risk of infection.
After greeting B2 and the old men from the history department, Jiang Xiao and his group boarded the helicopter.
"Huh? I just remembered something. Did the supernatural world only send you and Wang Dayong to help humanity?"
Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi quickly spoke up.
"No, they sent out a lot. All the strange tales have stopped invading this world, and all the monsters inside have come out to help humanity deal with this crisis."
"The reason there are only the two of us here is because there are too many places that need manpower. It's already very good that Shanghai and Hong Kong were able to assign us two top chefs. In some places, there's only one junior chef in charge."
Ah this
It seems you bakers haven't even put your skills to good use.
However, it must be said that for some problems, the best solution is often the mysterious power.
Take, for example, the patient that Shi Shi treated.
The "biology" doctor on his body has tried various methods to deal with it, but none of them can get rid of it completely.
Shi Shi is just a minor character in Seven Star Tales, yet she can be easily portrayed.
Although the person who was barely clinging to life eventually died, at least the matter was dealt with, right?
What is this called?
This is what they call specialization!
The atmosphere was somewhat silent the whole way, and even Shi Shi, who was usually very talkative, seemed to have lost her energy.
Since every hospital was full, Jiang Xiao chose the closest one.
The helicopter landed directly on the hospital rooftop, where experts were already waiting.
But when they saw that it wasn't the genius doctor who got off the helicopter, a hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes.
They exchanged glances and realized that Jiang Xiao and the others were all unfamiliar faces, which made them even more disappointed.
These are all experts in the medical field. If Jiang Xiao were someone important, they would definitely know him.
Seeing the disappointed looks on their faces, Shi Shi, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but snort coldly.
An indescribable sense of oppression and mortality instantly made the medical experts' hair stand on end, as if an invisible hand was gripping their necks.
Surprising!
They are weird!
It's no secret that the supernatural tales help humans; they also have a little mystery here.
He looked to be about the same age as the little girl, but the sense of oppression was nowhere near as strong!
This is just the weakest and most harmless-looking little girl among the four people in front of us.
Just how monstrous are those three muscular men?
Could it be that the big boss from the Nine Star Tales has suddenly appeared?
These medical experts broke out in a cold sweat instantly, their expressions filled with fear and unease.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a normal person."
Jiang Xiao stepped forward first and patted an old doctor on the shoulder.
The latter breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the "sunny feeling" emanating from Jiang Xiao.
"I saw in the intelligence report that a very strange patient has appeared? How strange? Even more disgusting than those previous herpes cases?"
"It's not that it's 'hiss,' anyway, this kind of thing isn't fatal, but hey, you should still come with us to take a look."
Chapter 573 Is this even a human being?
Along the long corridor, medical staff bustled back and forth, the tense and busy atmosphere almost making the air freeze.
Along the way, in every ward they passed, they could hear patients groaning and their families talking anxiously.
Finally, they arrived at the innermost ward of the hospital.
The door to this ward was unusual; it was secured with seven or eight heavy padlocks, each gleaming coldly, as if warning outsiders of the unusual nature of this place.
A skull and crossbones warning sign was posted on the door, and a cordon was set up around it, clearly indicating that the patients here were different from the usual ones.
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, sensing an ominous aura.
The atmosphere here was completely different from the rest of the hospital; it was cold and oppressive.
It's like a demon lurking inside, ready to break through the locks and unleash terror on the outside world at any moment.
The doctor noticed Jiang Xiao and the others' expressions and explained softly.
“The patient here is in a very special situation. We have to take extreme isolation measures. His symptoms are completely different from others. We are almost certain that this is the result of manipulation by that ‘god’.”
As he spoke, the doctor took out a bunch of keys and unlocked the locks one by one.
As the last lock was unlocked, the heavy door slowly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew out of the ward, sending chills down one's spine.
Jiang Xiao was the first to step into the ward.
The ward was not much different from other wards, but the patients lying in the beds were shocking.
The patient's body seemed to be constantly twisting and deforming, and strange patterns appeared on his skin, resembling some kind of ancient runes.
His eyes had turned completely black, with no whites or pupils.
The patient seemed to sense the arrival of the outside world and began to groan in pain. The sound did not sound like a human voice, but rather like the wailing of a vengeful spirit from the depths of hell.
No.
At first glance, it sounds like the 'hoarse' sound that only zombies can make, but if you listen carefully, it sounds like the 'gurgling' sound that fish make when they come ashore.
Niu Jieshi and Wang Dayong both involuntarily took a step back, while Shi Shi tightly gripped Jiang Xiao's arm.
Jiang Xiao, however, remained calm. He walked to the bedside and carefully observed the patient's condition.
He could sense a weak but very strange power stirring within the patient's body.
This force is indeed different from the herpes viruses they have encountered before; it is more like a manifestation of some kind of consciousness, attempting to express some intention through the patient's body.
"What exactly does this 'god' want to convey through him?"
Jiang Xiao muttered to himself, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
"This patient is in the early stages of the illness, please take a look at this."
As the doctor spoke, he lifted the white sheet covering the clinical bed.
The doctor moved very carefully, as if afraid of disturbing something. His hands trembled as he finally lifted a corner of the white sheet, revealing the patient underneath.
For a moment, the air in the ward seemed to freeze.
The patient's physical condition shocked everyone present.
His skin was also covered with strange patterns, and what's more, his elbows were even more unbelievable.
"Is this still a human body?"
Niu Jieshi's voice trembled, his eyes fixed on the smooth joint.
The patient's elbow area had completely disappeared; the skin there was so smooth it was as if the joint had never existed, without any bumps or bends.
This is beyond the scope of what a virus can explain.
This is completely transforming humanity!
Jiang Xiao stared at the scene, his brows furrowed.
The patient's body trembled slightly under his touch, and the twisted pain seemed to become more pronounced under Jiang Xiao's examination.
"What kind of game is this 'god' playing?"
Jiang Xiao's voice was low and filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.
Shi Shi gripped Jiang Xiao's arm tightly, her face filled with fear and unease.
"Can these patients ever recover?"
