global planting

Yu Huai felt a little strange.

After knowing each other for so many days, although Xiang Qi is often cloudy and glib, he has never been as rude as today.

Maybe it's because I don't know him very well.

Fortunately, Dr. Leon was so well educated that he didn't seem to care.

"I think I should describe my experience to the officer?" Dr. Leon naturally brought up the topic.

"please say."

"It probably started on a certain day three years ago—I have forgotten which day it was. Anyway, that morning, a patient with strange symptoms came to the dermatology department of our hospital."

"His whole body's skin turned pink, especially on his hands, where many granulation sprouts grew. At the same time, various organs in his body began to fail rapidly. In just one hour, his respiratory system It has weakened to the level of an octogenarian."

What Dr. Leon described is the phytochemical process of a person.

This is Yu Huai's first time to understand the process of planting from a medical point of view, and he listened very seriously for a while.

"We inserted an oxygen inhalation tube for him and used various methods, but none of them could slow down the deterioration of his condition. Moreover, his mutation was not just at the organ level. We sampled and observed his skin cells and found that Even his genes are changing all the time."

"This is really an unheard of strange disease, and all the experts in the hospital are helpless. We tried to connect him with higher-level hospitals and more authoritative experts.

But we know that this is mostly futile, because at the rate of deterioration of the disease, this patient can't wait for more in-depth diagnosis and treatment, even remote diagnosis and treatment. "

"We determined that he would leave us within half an hour."

Having said that, Dr. Leon paused for a moment. He seemed to be completely immersed in the emotions at that time, and there was a touch of regret and sadness in his eyes.

"To our surprise, things turned around very quickly - just when we thought he had reached the critical point of death, the deterioration of his condition stopped suddenly. The patient's condition miraculously stabilized and remained at a delicate level. state."

"His heart was beating very slowly, his brain waves became chaotic and disordered, and the small granulation sprouts on his hands and feet grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into strips of flesh two fingers thick—let's call them "Tentacles". "

"In fact, from a physiological point of view, he is no longer a pure person. Whether it is the external appearance or the internal genes, there is even one more chromosome in his body cells, the original 46 There is also a large segment of the chromosome that is altered."

"The most amazing thing is that at the tips of his tentacles, there are divisions like plant root tips, you know: root cap, meristematic zone, elongation zone, and maturity zone."

Yu Huai didn't know.Hearing this, he couldn't understand.

Chromosomes and genes are okay. During the period of his recuperation after the accident, these words were almost always on the lips of his biological scientist parents.

But the root cap and meristematic area are nouns that he has never touched since he lost his memory. He can only associate and guess the meaning of the entire word based on the meaning of each word.

"So after his condition stabilized, you transferred him to this ward building?" Yu Huai interjected leadingly, he really didn't want to hear Dr. Leon continue to speak some obscure terms.

"Yes, we transferred him to this building, which is in the southernmost ward on this floor." Dr. Leon smiled at Yu Huai and obediently skipped the professional explanation.

What Mr. Leon said next was exactly the same as Yu Huai's guess.

Listening to Dr. Leon's narration, Yu Huai inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had known each other before.

Perhaps it was because Dr. Leon's tone was too gentle and gentle, which easily made people feel friendly.

While listening, Yu Huai took a look around the whole ward by the way.

This is a very ordinary double ward. There is a shriveled corpse lying on the bed near the door. The pure white sheet covers his head. It should be done by Dr. Leon.Other than that, there was no one else in the ward other than the three.

On the table by the window, an alcohol lamp was lit, from which the dim light emanated.

Feeling that something was wrong, Yu Huai frowned imperceptibly.

"So, I suspect it should be a genetic virus. Officer Yu, are you listening?" While speaking, Dr. Leon returned to his professional field.

"Hmm." Yu Huai's eyes fell on Dr. Leon again, "Then, how did you get trapped here?"

Leon smiled slightly: "I came for rounds, and my patient had multiple fractures all over his body and couldn't move. I wanted to take him with me, but unfortunately I couldn't make it in the end."

Presumably the patient Dr. Leon was talking about was the corpse on the hospital bed.

Based on this alone, Leon is a respectable doctor.

"You have been stuck here for the past three years?"

"To be precise, they were trapped on this floor."

"So have you ever seen a vegetable that can move?"

"Will it move? It doesn't seem to be." Dr. Leon frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

Haven't seen it before?Then the mutated vegetative man outside couldn't have appeared out of thin air, right?

correct!Appear out of thin air!

In the blink of an eye, Yu Huai finally connected all the fragments floating in his mind together, and he found the possibility closest to the truth.

Of course, it is impossible for a mutated vegetative person to appear out of thin air, and it is impossible for the same mutation to occur in the two cities in the north and south thousands of miles away at the same time.

Unless, this mutated vegetative person was brought out from Ramon City.

The mutated vegetative person that Leon claimed he had never seen before, the white coat that was still clean and straight after wearing it for three years, the alcohol lamp placed by the window, and the arrival of the rescue team seemed to have been expected...

Yu Huai looked across Dr. Leon, and exchanged glances with Xiang Qi who was leaning against the door.

After all, he is not a teammate who has experienced thousands of missions together. Of course, Yu Huai does not expect any tacit understanding between him and Xiang Qi, but right now he can't say it clearly, so as not to startle the snake.

I can only see how much Qi can comprehend.

After a while, Xiang Qi raised his hand and knocked on the door panel, and chuckled softly: "Sorry, just interrupt, why don't you two talk after we go back?"

Hearing this, Yu Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

It was completely dark outside now, Leon glanced out the window, with a little apology in his smile: "I seem to have talked too much."

"It's okay, let's go." Yu Huai suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and his voice was flat.

"I don't know how the two officers came here?"

"Drive, the car is parked on the roof."

Dr. Leon nodded in understanding. He turned around and picked up the alcohol lamp by the window, and walked out the door first: "I know a safe passage to the roof, come with me."

Yu Huai didn't question it, and followed quickly.

When passing by Xiang Qi, the knuckles of his index finger tapped the handle of the pistol that Xiang Qi had in his trouser pocket, implying that he was ready to deal with emergencies.

Xiang Qi smiled at him, indicating that he knew, and followed Yu Huai, at the end of the three-person team.

The darkness in the corridor seemed to be thicker than when we came here, only the alcohol lamp in Dr. Leon's hand gave off a faint light, making the darkness ahead a little lighter.

The way Leon took them was the same as when Yu Huai and the others came, which deepened Yu Huai's suspicion of him.

On the way here just now, they have checked the corridor up, down, left, and right, and found no so-called safe passage.

No one spoke, only the footsteps of three people remained in the empty corridor, and the atmosphere was solemn for a while, which was a little strange.

After patiently following Leon for a while, Yu Huai asked, "Doctor Leon, have we met somewhere before?"

Leon didn't answer.

Yu Huai asked again: "I remember that in your reply not long ago, you claimed to be "we", Dr. Leon, do you have any other companions? "

While speaking, Yu Huai's right hand was already quietly pressing on the handle of the gun.

This time Dr. Leon responded, his voice still polite and gentle: "Yes, I do have companions."

"Where are they?"

Doctor Leon suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"It's right behind you, Xiao Huai."

What did Leon call him?Xiao Huai?

Without thinking about it, a strong wind suddenly hit from behind!It was the mutant vegetative who ran away just now!

"Xiang Qi!" Yu Huai quickly pushed Xiang Qi away, and he met the attacking tentacles.

Only then did he see the mutated vegetative from the front.

Clear facial features, normal body shape and skin color - this is clearly a living person!

But this person has the characteristics of a vegetative person, and the tentacles growing from his hands waved towards Yu Huai mercilessly.

Yu Huai frowned.

What the hell is this?

Yu Huai was only distracted for a moment, and the tentacles had already approached him. He had no choice but to stop raising the gun, grabbed the tentacles with his bare hands, and pulled them back violently——

The "vegetative person" in front immediately groaned in pain and glared at Yu Huai.

Then, the "vegetative man" attacked Yu Huai very purposefully.

Yu Huai finally raised the gun and pulled the trigger with his index finger.

But the expected gunshots did not sound.

The moment Yu Huai was about to pull the trigger, several tentacles protruded from behind Yu Huai, binding his hand holding the gun.
