Plague Doctor

Gu Jun did not climb up the big tree. He took off his coat and wrapped it in a ball of soil from the forest side, making it as solid as a stone, and then threw it towards the body hanging on the branch. There was a banging sound as it hit the corpse's torso, causing it to shake and fall down.

Both corpses were like this.

Even though he seemed to think they were corpses, he still checked their vital signs and found that Li Liangbin and Wang Yong indeed had no breathing or heartbeat, and their bodies were stiff and cold. He could smell the corpse odor that had begun to evaporate even though he was wearing a mask.

Although Gu Jun studied clinical medicine, he also had some understanding of forensic medicine.

The condition of rigor mortis can be used to estimate the time of death of the deceased. Both corpses had stiff muscles all over the body, and the time of death was more than 7-8 hours. However, the corpses in the alien world transform faster - it was like that in Hawke City. If it was the same in this area, the death time would be 3-4 hours.

Their right hands are particularly stiff, and their deltoid, biceps and other muscles are all stiff. But there were no more changes in the appearance of this limb, and it also lost its activity. It seemed that the strange hand also disappeared with their death, unlike Cao Yicong's strange hand.

"Two comrades." After the inspection, Gu Jun saluted the two corpses on the ground, his face heavy, "Let's go."

He picked up the cut coat and covered their faces, then took out Carlop's dissecting instruments and prepared to dissect the two alien hands.

Some pathologies cannot be known until they are dissected, and the same is true for some abnormal strength conditions.

Gu Jun held the scalpel like a bow and paused for a moment without moving.

Since he used this knife, he has dissected many different alien beings and faced many different pressures. But facing these two corpses...

Gu Jun, Li Liangbin and Wang Yong did not know each other before this operation, but now they know that Li Liangbin is married. His wife is seven months pregnant and the due date is approaching, so Li Liangbin is more eager to solve the problem of alien infant disease than others. . Now Li Liangbin can never see his child.

"These are good people, nice people."

Gu Jun said slowly, speaking to his messy heart and also to the shadows in the dark, "You have no reason to harm these people."

The cold wind rustled the brown and gray leaves of the forest, and Carlop's scalpel slashed down the alien arm of Li Liangbin's corpse, cutting open the blackened flesh.

What flowed out along the blade was indeed not blood, but a black viscous liquid, the black liquid from a strange hand, the black liquid from the leg of a black goat kid.

Gu Jun was careful not to come into direct contact with the liquid and continued to dissect in a hazy hallucination. The tissue changes of this strange hand are very similar to Cao Yicong's strange hand. It should be a complete mutated body. The cortex and muscles are keratinized, which reminds him of the Dead Skin Man...

When the humerus is cut open, the inside of the bone is also hollow and contains a large number of tube-like bundles of organ tissue.

That is almost the "heteroplastic tube" in the foot cavity of the black goat cub, except that it is smaller and loses its activity without being destroyed.

Gu Jun was thinking while cutting open, could the dark power of Alien Hand Syndrome transform the human body into the life form of a black goat cub? But there seems to be something missing on these two corpses... Except for the strange hands, there are no traces of the power of the Black Goat on other parts of the corpses...

He noticed this, "Could it be because neither Li Liangbin nor Wang Yong are Black Goat believers?"

The mutations in the right upper limbs of the two corpses did not spread to other parts beyond the right shoulder; as well as the patients with alien hands at the medical base, although the severe patients showed symptoms of sepsis, there were no deformations in other parts of the body.

The black fluid of black goat babies can cause mutations in other organisms, and the black fluid of abnormal amniotic fluid of alien babies can also cause it.

Black goat cubs and strange babies are all lives born from the womb of the Black Goat of the Forest, and they are born in the shadow of Shub-Nicholas.

But Alien Hand Syndrome is a disease invaded by pathogens, or an attack from a spell ritual, and the power of its black liquid is missing...

Gu Jun again thought of the illusion caused by the negative choices in the street such as Ah Miao, Chen Xing and others. They drank the black liquid solidified by the black mist and became followers of the Black Goat. They could mutate; but Li Liangbin, Wang Yong and the others probably did not give in. , those ordinary patients don’t know about Shabu-Nicolas.

Tan Jinming and other homicide suspects all killed the deceased with their hands, so there is a possibility of alien hand syndrome.

But the difference between them and ordinary patients with heterohand syndrome is that they all have negative choices... They seem to be selected...

Gu Jun deduced these, but there was no conclusion.

The wind got stronger and the leaves swayed louder. Gu Jun suddenly heard some other noise, and Huo Di turned his head to look. There was no trace in the dark and closed forest.

"Who? I know you're there." He did feel that way.

"Doctor Gu..." A voice sounded, and a figure slowly walked out from behind the tree over there. Wearing a Tianji uniform, it was Cao Yicong.

But Gu Jun immediately noticed something strange, "Deputy Captain Cao, stand still!" He shouted immediately, picked up the pistol next to him, raised it, and pointed it at Cao Yicong out of necessity.

The figure's hands were still there, but the upper right limb must have been amputated by him himself, and then fell into the swamp.

Moreover, Cao Yicong's uniform is no longer intact. The right sleeve should be cut off, and the face should also be scarred and bandaged...

Gu Jun couldn't be sure at all whether it was Cao Yicong, a human being, or something strange that looked like Cao Yicong.

"Doctor Gu, haven't you remembered yet?" Cao Yicong looked confused, showed a wry smile, and looked at the two bodies on the ground.

Corpse, "The alien hand disease killed them all... Here in our area, I don't have the alien hand disease, but they do."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Jun asked, no longer leaning toward Cao Yicong.

Since black liquid can change the form of life, and this is the womb of the black goat, it is possible for even a ball of mud to turn into something that looks like Cao Yicong.

"We..." Cao Yicong said in a tired voice, "we are clones."

Gu Jun was startled when he heard this, and slightly closed his eyes, "Oh?"

"This womb can replicate the life inside it..." Cao Yicong just said a few words but it took a lot of effort, his face became more and more depressed, "We are not the only ones, and we may not be the ones who came in... Doctor Gu, Look at the little finger of your left hand."

Suddenly, Gu Jun's whole body felt numb and painful, as if he was waking up from a dream.

He looked down slightly, but actually he could feel it without looking.

A situation that I hadn't discovered since I woke up in fragments just now and couldn't remember it clearly emerged.

The tail finger of his left hand, which he had amputated at the end a long time ago, is now intact and not damaged.

Love the Plague Doctor.
