Chapter 1045: Visible and Touchable Part 2(1/2)
12:30
A light and shadow screen was erected on the middle and upper streets. There was no announcement on the screen, only a 30-minute countdown.
At 1 o'clock sharp, the medical department will explain the issue of the surge in patients in the near future.
The bright red characters were just above the countdown, and many people sitting in the store raised their heads.
"Is there any infectious disease?"
"Don't tell me it's really possible."
Some people are already discussing infectious diseases.
"Think about it. In recent years, several infectious diseases have broken out on the ground floor. It's scary to think about such a dirty and messy environment."
Early this morning, there were rumors about infectious diseases among the middle and upper classes, but many people didn't pay attention to it because according to some exposures on the Internet, most of the patients were from the lower classes. In addition, the 12th Agricultural Department suddenly recruited people at a high price last night.
The work of attracting a large number of low-level labor force has begun to be carried out one after another.
Some people suspect that the infectious disease may have broken out from the agricultural department. Although there are different opinions, basically such rumors have begun to reach the middle and upper levels, while the lower levels are still in the dark about these things.
Many people at the bottom have already taken a certain amount of money and signed a confidentiality agreement with Department 4 after a family member fell ill and was sent to the hospital, so they did not disclose anything. Regarding the recent sudden illness of many people at the bottom,
Although some people have seen it, it doesn't matter to them.
Some people are even happy about this, because someone else happened to be sick and someone got a replacement job.
Those whose family members are sick also feel it vaguely. This may be related to the liquid food they eat from Sanlian Company, but years of bad life have made them accustomed to such things.
In the impression of some middle-aged people in their 70s and 80s, poisonous food accidents happen once or twice at the bottom, and the department will solve the problem every time.
The most serious incident in the past was the heavy metal water pollution incident. At that time, the city's water supply facilities were an industry controlled by the Sherman family. The source of the city's water was rainwater. There were no water molecules that are as convenient as today without causing any problems.
Draw system.
The Hillman family was the water supplier. At that time, the equipment at a large water outlet factory in the industrial area was damaged, but the Hillman family did not report it, but continued to conceal it. As a result, many industrial discharges were mixed with rainwater.
Water was supplied to some places on the ground floor without strict treatment, resulting in widespread metal poisoning.
At that time, there were no longer a few people suffering from metal poisoning. Although many people saved their lives, they were left with lifelong disabilities. The accident more than 50 years ago left many people feeling chilled. Many people who experienced it were still alive today.
.
Afterwards, some people in charge of the factory took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility for everything. However, everyone knew that they were just the ones taking the blame, and the matter was settled. One can imagine the future lives of those with metal poisoning.
, but after the treatment is completed and a sum of money is paid, the matter is considered to be over.
At this time, a man who had just eaten on the street at the bottom of the street was sitting in front of his house. He lifted up his pants and exposed a pair of metal feet. He was one of the victims of the metal poisoning. At that time, the metal toxin made him
The lower body is paralyzed.
If it hadn't been for the opening of prosthetic medical technology in the 10th Department decades ago, he would never have thought of standing up in his life. There was a trace of worry on the man's face, because his son was hospitalized and his daughter-in-law was not allowed to go to the hospital to take care of him.
Although the family received a living subsidy of 3,000 yuan, the man's heart was already cold at this time.
The man knew very well that he couldn't do anything. A reporter found him before, but he still didn't mention it. He also told the reporter not to continue the investigation.
Things are buried.
"No matter who comes, the bottom level will still be the same."
The man sighed, and his daughter-in-law walked out.
"Dad, it's time to eat."
The man stood up, a little annoyed, because his health was getting worse day by day, and the only job he could do was street cleaning, but he didn't always have work. As the main labor force in the family, his son worked outside, basically saving money.
I brought them all to my home because I still have two children who are studying.
It turns out that my son was eating liquid food from Sanlian Company during that time, because it was cheap and there were discounts for buying in large quantities.
Looking at the liquid food poured on the rice, the man sat down and pressed his hands on the table in pain for a moment. His son had been hospitalized for almost three months and he had never seen him before.
"Dad is fine..."
dong dong dong
There was a knock on the door of the room, and my daughter-in-law hurriedly opened the door. When she saw two people from Section 4, they came in and closed the door.
"What's the meaning!"
A black wallet was placed on the table, with a string of numbers flashing on it, a limit of 100,000.
"Mr. Paul, your son died at 11:31:27 today!"
In an instant, the man named Paul stood up excitedly, and with a burst of sobs, his daughter-in-law began to cry.
"According to the previous calculations by the General Affairs Department, your son will be compensated with 100 times the basic salary of 1,000 yuan, and the four members of your family can be included in the Bright City Medical Security Plan!"
Paul trembled and stared quietly at the wallet on the table and a contract stating that four people in the family would enjoy medical insurance of 200 yuan per month.
Paul said nothing, signed his name, and the contract came into effect.
"Mr. Paul, please keep it confidential from the outside world. Once you fail to comply with the contract, we have the right to cancel..."
"Go away!"
Paul sat down, and the two people from Section 4 left and started walking towards another house.
The director of District 118 was explaining to some of the commissioners who were about to leave that 8 patients with stage III hemangioma admitted to Hospital 118 died today, and this number will increase as time goes by.
These people have been hospitalized for more than three months. Their cardiopulmonary function has completely deteriorated due to the pain, and their gene enhancers have been used to their limit. The same goes for daily surgical resections.
"Try to soften your attitude as much as possible, say sorry when necessary, and try to tell the family members that we have tried our best!"
The dean sighed and looked at the departing staff with a heavy heart. The reason why he chose this time was to avoid being noticed. Most people were still immersed in the carnival. In psychology, if a person encounters
No matter how miserable the person is, the best way is to make the atmosphere around the person happy, which is somewhat effective.
There are still more than a dozen patients who are in extremely unstable condition and have begun to suffer from heart and lung failure. They have just used genetic enhancers to temporarily restore some of these people's heart and lung functions. However, as the cancerous tissue is cut away with physical operations one after another,
, the human body's metabolism is much faster than before, which is also the main reason for the rapid failure of cardiopulmonary function.
It is necessary to continuously add nutrients to the human body through capillary injections, ensure vital signs, and quickly remove the diseased tissue. Now there is nothing we can do and we can only wait for the headquarters to develop antibodies.
Last night, the headquarters had contacted major hospitals and explained all the work, and they also learned that a method to combat this disease has been found.
Some patients in the second phase have also begun to deteriorate to a certain extent. After using gene enhancers, a large number of blind and deaf patients have appeared. These injuries are permanent and irreversible, and the most serious ones are muscle weakness and central nervous system damage.
Neuropathy causes paralysis of the lower limbs.
At this time, the director also turned back to the corridor. He planned to wait at the main entrance of the hospital. He would announce the situation later and was ready to distribute "antibodies".
Almost all the people queuing up to see a doctor in the lobby were cleared out. Unless there were critically ill patients, they were simply asked to prescribe some medicine or go home to rest based on their symptoms. At this time, two people who looked like they were twitching were carried away.
Come in.
"A new patient!"
........
"As expected, Fatty, you can always be relied upon at critical moments!"
In the section chief conference room, the section chiefs were all dealing with the matters at hand and waiting for the arrival of 1 o'clock. Mo Xiaolan pushed a wheelchair to Locke's side.
"What's wrong?"
"The morning before yesterday, when there was a large-scale protest on the ground floor, our department did not activate the street screens on the lower floor, but these screens were suddenly activated. Then we checked and found that the activation authority this time came from the General Affairs Department. From
Your hand, thanks to your timely reaction, otherwise..."
Locke Jiahui was stunned.
"Didn't you start Section 2?"
Luo Jiahui and Mo Xiaolan were both confused for a moment. Mo Xiaolan directly called up a light and shadow panel, and quickly called up the time before yesterday when all the light and shadow screens on the ground floor were activated, as well as who started it. I just watched it.
His expression turned solemn at first glance.
"No record!"
Mo Xiaolan slapped the table. At this moment, Locke immediately held down Mo Xiaolan because it was about to begin.
"Did something go wrong?"
Noah came over with a smile on his face. Mo Xiaolan glanced at the section chiefs, nodded and pointed to the rest area next to them. The three of them came to the stage, and Mo Xiaolan explained the matter directly.
"This is indeed a strange thing. How come there is no record?"
To be continued...
