Chen Shu was dead. The medical department had worked together for more than three hours, but they had failed to save the ninety-five-year-old man.
What did he mean when he screamed 'I didn't see it' before his death? It seemed to be related to the illusion that Gu Jun mentioned. No one knew the reason behind it. Was it because Gu Jun and Chen Shu had ESP, or was it because of Gu Jun's delusion?
Even Tong Ye and Dr. Shen could not explain it. Their research on mental health was too shallow.
The new clue that came from Gu Jun's illusion was that the entire Nan Tang Village participated in the summoning ritual. Some of the children and elders were still alive. What effect would this have on them and the descendants of the village?
Furthermore, it was basically confirmed that Ol 'Uncle Dog's family was a bunch of zombies. It was also confirmed that Chen Defa and the other three who had their graves dug up had all become believers and had probably been converted into zombies. Other than Chen Defa, the whereabouts of the other three was unknown.
While Phecda conducted various investigations, Chen Defa's body continued to be dissected.
Even though Gu Jun had exhausted his mental power, he had rested enough to clear his mind. He picked up the scalpel again.
Chen Shu's death had shaken him greatly. He knew that he could not blame Chen Shu for his death, but facing this kind of robbery, he could not allow it to continue.
He had to complete the abyssal mission as soon as possible. Even though he had seven days, he set a new goal for himself. "Complete it in five days!"
The first day passed, and the autopsy team finished dissecting the zombie's head and neck. Gu Jun's mission completion rate had reached eighteen percent.
Still not fast enough! Gu Jun moved into the autopsy building, or more accurately, the buffer room outside the autopsy room. He had his meals here, his personal hygiene was done in the toilet, and he slept on the couch in the buffer room.
He could not hand over the autopsy work to others because the mission completion rate only counted the part that he had completed personally. Therefore, he rejected the suggestion that multiple autopsy teams take turns to perform the autopsy. The reason given was still 'intuition'.
After a five-hour break, the next day's work began. They started with the ghoul's torso, starting with its chest.
It was difficult to cut open the ghoul's chest because the bones were completely distorted due to the collapse and proliferation. The twelve pairs of ribs were still there, but the xiphoid process had abnormally proliferated and deformed, forming a horizontal hard bone. Gu Jun named it the "Transverse Malformation", but he just casually said it based on his feelings.
However, this name became a term used to mark the thoracic structure of the ghoul.
After the second day, the dissection of the chest was basically completed, and the mission completion rate rose to 38%.
Gu Jun's mental state was still fine. Carlop's style of cultivation had helped him recover a lot, and the boundaries of his mental power were expanding. However, the other people who worked with him could not take it anymore. In order to ensure the quality of the dissection, they needed to change to another team to continue working with him.
"Ah, I can't take it anymore …" Wu Shiyu also had to endure it. She was a person who was particularly prone to having dark circles under her eyes. After two days, it was almost worse than Cai Zixuan's.
However, Cai Zixuan not only contributed to the team's recovery, but also his hair. His forehead seemed to have become bigger.
As everyone chatted in the buffer room, Cai Zixuan lamented, "This is how medicine is. Two years ago, there was an experiment abroad that studied the saliva samples of hundreds of interns who had worked for a year. It was found that the speed of their telomere shortening was nearly six times the speed of telomere loss. "
"Although I don't quite understand what you're talking about," Wu Shiyu said, "I know that you'll soon be bald."
"It's the speed of aging." Cai Zixuan explained to her, "The telomere is a small DNA-protein complex at the top of the chromosome. It can maintain the stability of the gene, but it will continue to shorten as the DNA splits. Every time the DNA splits, the telomere will become a little shorter than before … "
"I understand." Wu Shiyu nodded. "The shorter the telomere, the shorter the hair."
As she said this, she looked at Gu Jun, who was eating a boxed lunch. "So, he can do it too?"
"In theory, he can." Cai Zixuan had another feeling. "Tycoon Jun is still a handsome boy even if he's bald. Three thousand strands of worry, if they're gone, then so be it. "
Wu Shiyu touched the top of her head when she heard that. "Fortunately … they're still here." This was one of the few worries that she wanted to keep.
After all, DNA varied from person to person. They were both medical students, but Wang Ruoxiang's hair was very thick, and Gu Jun's had no signs of decline for the time being.
However, if this continued, no one could say for sure how long Gu Jun's telomere length could be maintained. From the third day onwards, his sleeping time changed from five hours to three hours, and in between, he would take a 15-minute break every three hours. It was almost a crazy state.
This attitude was admirable, but could his body take it?
In the conference room at the headquarters, the observation team could no longer compete with Gu Jun. Xiao Huiwen and the rest had exhausted their energy just by watching from a distance.
However, what surprised them the most was that although Gu Jun was obviously very tired, he could still maintain the accuracy and quality of the dissection.
"Force him to rest a little longer." Xiao Huiwen still suggested to the higher-ups. Too many sudden deaths occurred after high-intensity work.
Tong Ye and Yao Sinian were also in a difficult position. This kid still had a terminal illness, and he was working too hard.
They were really afraid that he would suddenly die, afraid that his illness would accelerate, but in the face of this plague, everyone was fighting with their lives.
However, after the big discovery on the first day, although the corpse of the ghoul was strange and terrifying, there were no new clues. The bones all over its body had that kind of intricate carvings, and after scanning them and comparing them with the computer, they found that none of them were exactly the same. However, no one knew what kind of secret it was hiding.
At the same time, on the other side of the Arctic Ocean, Phecda's fleet explored the area between longitude 176 ° east and latitude 74 ° 31 ′ 12 ″ north.
The exploration team landed on a large ice floe there, but when they left, they found nothing. Now the exploration team's main focus was on the nearest island, Wrangel Island. It was Russian territory, so this was a collaboration between Phecda and the Russian government.
Wrangel Island had an area of 7,608 square kilometers, even larger than Eastern State City. It had a harsh climate, and even the Eskimos could not survive there. It was a large deserted island, but it was also a nature reserve. Whether there were any clues on the island or not, they still needed to search.
"Let's keep our eyes peeled on Ah Jun." Yao Sinian hoped that there would be some breakthrough in the autopsy room, and so did everyone else.
Gu Jun knew that very well, so he had no reason to rest. He wished that he had 48 hours a day.
After the fourth day of crazy work, he led the team to finish the autopsy on the ghoul's abdomen and pelvis, and the mission completion rate rose to eighty percent.
On the fifth day, they moved toward the spine area, and then the limbs.
Over the past few days, Gu Jun did not trigger any new illusions, but his mental power had increased significantly. The boundaries of his mental power had broadened, and the effectiveness of his rest had improved. However, the more he dissected, the more he understood the ghoul, and the less strange he felt about it, the less nourishment he felt.
As the working hours on the fifth day continued to rise, so did the mission completion rate.
When they reached the upper limb of the ghoul, Gu Jun noticed that the completion rate of this abyssal mission had reached ninety-nine percent.
