That evening, Deng Ximei arrived at the Eastern State Medical Department's base. When she saw the three negative selection abnormal babies, she had the same feeling as Gu Jun.
It appeared like some of the abnormal babies carried traces of the foreign civilization.
The more these babies appeared, the closer the connection between the two worlds would be, and the greater the influence of the Black Goat of the Forest would be.
However, before Deng Ximei arrived at Eastern State, she had seen more than ten abnormal babies at Da Hwa City. None of them had this feeling. 'Is this only true for the abnormal babies at Eastern State? ' Since there was still no progress with the Zoogs, Gu Jun and Deng Ximei hurried to the few cities around Eastern State that night. Their speculation was confirmed. Furthermore, the mothers of the three babies had spent most of their pregnancy in the Eastern State.
With this in mind, an emergency evacuation was underway for the pregnant women.
For a city with a population of over 8 million like Eastern State, there were more than 100,000 pregnant women. It was not easy to complete the evacuation without alarming the outside world. But it had to be done. The longer they stayed here, the stronger the foreign civilization's presence would be.
Eastern State was no longer a suitable place to nurture the fetus or give birth.
However, the pregnant women who were about to give birth stayed behind. They were watched over by the medical staff.
There were still too many uncertainties. If this was an epidemic, would it spread if they gave birth in other places?
On the third day after the cataclysm, the number of abnormal babies at Phecda World broke 100,000. Not all of these babies could cry inside the incubator. Even normal babies could die at birth, but for the abnormal babies, the ratio was three times higher.
None of the positive selection babies died prematurely. The rest of the babies who died prematurely were all negative selection babies.
Their cause of death came from different causes, heart problems, liver and kidney problems, blood problems …
Some of the dead babies appeared to be allergic to the air. Less than 10 minutes after birth, they broke out in severe red rashes. They cried and had difficulty breathing. In less than an hour, they suffered from multiple organ failure. The medical staff on duty were powerless to save them.
The negative selection babies who died prematurely and those who survived showed more serious abnormalities.
Xu Qiuyue's eyes were completely white, and that was one of the less serious cases.
When Gu Jun looked at the images of some abnormal babies with serious physical defects or mutations, he felt a long-lost restlessness in his heart.
One of the babies had hands that looked like sheep's hooves. Not only did they look like sheep's hooves, but they looked like two sheep's hooves growing below a person's wrist. There was another baby whose four limbs were deformed into foreign bodies. The X-ray results showed that there were no bones in the limbs, and they were all soft tissues. They looked like the tentacles of a black goat.
The abnormalities of these two babies were typical and obvious signs of the influence of the Black Mountain Goat. But that was not all. There were other kinds of abnormalities.
Although some of the mothers of these babies didn't have prenatal checkups, most of them had routine prenatal checkups. Some of them even had more detailed tests, but they still gave birth to babies with birth defects. This also exposed another big problem in this cataclysm. For pregnant women with abnormal pregnancies, prenatal examinations were ineffective.
The last four-dimensional ultrasound examination done by the mother of the baby with tentacle-like limbs showed that it was a healthy fetus.
The baby's father held a stack of ultrasound images and asked the doctor with a choked voice, "How did that happen?" No one could answer him.
In those images, there were pictures of the fetus in deep thought, yawning, eating its fingers, stretching its fists … Everything showed that the baby had normal limbs, hands, and feet. Not a single prenatal checkup had said that there was a problem, not even a possibility of a problem.
It had only been a week since the last prenatal checkup of the baby's mother. How did this happen?
During the delivery, both husband and wife could see clearly that the baby was not swapped. The baby was born like this, like a monster.
Many similar cases showed that either the mutation happened during the delivery stage or the results were affected by abnormal energy.
The more Gu Jun looked at the reports of the abnormal babies, the more he couldn't sleep. He became more like Yu Chi, like there was a band around his neck.
As soon as the baby started to cry, the hoop tightened, tighter and tighter, until he couldn't breathe or gasp for air.
Just think about how many babies were suffering, how many pregnant women, how many families …
He couldn't sit or stand, and he couldn't even meditate.
That's right, that's right. Even without this cataclysm, birth defects still existed. Negative choices always existed.
But … there weren't so many, and the mutation wasn't so serious. This was a disaster.
Gu Jun tried his best to sleep and told himself over and over again, "I need to sleep, I need to rest, I need to have enough energy to dissect the liver." In the three days since the incident, he didn't even have the time for light sleep. His body was getting close to exhaustion.
If this continued, even if a baby black goat was placed on the autopsy table, he wouldn't last more than two days.
"Remaining time: 309: 26: 47. Autopsy completion: 0%"
The remaining time for the mission was getting smaller and smaller. It was like another band around his throat.
Gu Jun couldn't sleep at the base's dormitory or the break room, so he went to chat with Wu Shiyu.
Wu Shiyu never understood the trouble of being unable to sleep. No matter how bad the situation was, she had the ability to deal with it.
"How about I sing you a lullaby? Let me soothe you. "She suggested. Gu Jun nodded in agreement. She sang," Meow meow meow — "
He didn't expect this but it did have a hypnotic effect.
According to Dirty-minded Yu, she learned this from Ulthar's cat.
Cats usually didn't suffer from insomnia but when they did, it was a serious problem. Therefore, the lullaby of cats was very powerful.
At the same time, many epidemiological studies were going on at the medical department. There were abnormal babies in the case group and normal babies in the control group. The study subjects were the abnormal babies' mothers. They were investigated and their memories were dug out. What was their pregnancy like?
Did the mothers of the abnormal babies have any exposure factors during pregnancy, such as taking over-the-counter drugs, eating certain foods, or going somewhere, doing something, or something that happened that caused them to give birth to the abnormal babies?
The Medical Department was looking for similar exposure factors with statistical significance.
Only by finding this connection with the abnormal babies could they prove that the abnormal babies were not random and could be avoided.
And the creation of abnormal babies. Even the bad guys would give birth. If the bad guys knew how to do it, they could give birth to many abnormal babies.
The Phecda members all over the country would give birth too. There was already an equal proportion of abnormal babies among the internal population.
And they still did not know how different the positive choices, negative choices, and draws of abnormal babies would be compared to normal babies in terms of growth.
When the remaining time for the mission dropped to 300 hours, it was the morning of a new day. The Zoog Lucky screamed and rushed into Gu Jun's room.
"Found it, found it! Fei Bao and the rest have found it! There's a cave about several hundred square metres in there! "
