"The baby's head has come out. Push harder, it's almost done..."
In a delivery room of the obstetrics and gynecology department of Eastern University Hospital, a pregnant woman was struggling to give birth. Her husband stood nervously by her side, his face drenched in sweat.
The delivery doctor, Yu Guolan, the midwife, and the other nurses were also nervous. This was a woman with a high risk of heterozygosis. They were one of the few experienced teams in Eastern University Hospital who had learned the Carlop Midwifery. They were responsible for the delivery of such women.
Although they were experienced, they had only learned this midwifery not long ago. The first time they experienced an abnormal newborn was still vivid in their minds.
The Carlop Midwifery could effectively reduce the rate of heterozygosis, but it was not a 100% success rate. The more difficult the delivery, the more likely it was to have an accident.
Yu Guolan concentrated on every step of the delivery. Even when the baby was separated from the mother, she did not relax. There had been cases of heterozygosis even when everything was done. Before the baby's cry, the strange sound could suddenly appear...
But before Yu Guolan could pat the soles of the baby's feet or buttocks, the baby boy moved his hands and feet vigorously, letting out a clear and loud cry.
"It's a success..." Yu Guolan said with relief. The nurses also breathed a sigh of relief. "Mother and child are safe!"
The father was extremely excited. He looked at his wife and then at the newborn child. He was even more bewildered. The mother, who had survived the pain of childbirth, had a new motivation. She hadn't even cut the umbilical cord, but she already wanted to hug her child.
After all the delivery procedures were completed, the rest of the work was handed over to the other nurses. Yu Guolan took the team to rest for a while, then went to the changing room to change into a set of sterile surgical gowns. Then, they went to another delivery room. Another high-risk pregnant woman was about to go into labor with her husband anxiously waiting for them.
This was not the usual time. There was something happening and they were needed. They had no time to rest.
Twenty minutes later, the delivery was over. It was very smooth and successful. There was no bleeding or heterozygosis.
In addition to exhaustion and relief, Yu Guolan also felt a little strange. In the last two deliveries, she felt a little different when she held the newborn...
She didn't know what was going on, but she followed the instructions of Phecda's coordinator and immediately reported what she felt.
"I don't know how to describe it … When the babies were just born, when I held them, it felt like I wasn't holding a life. It was like … like they were dead babies. Only when they cried or showed signs of abnormalities did I feel alive. These two times, when I hugged them, I could feel that they were alive … "
Doctor Yu Guolan's words echoed in the busy headquarters command center.
Since noon that day, the command central had received similar reports from many doctors, but there was something else that was even more obvious. After 12: 16 am, half an hour had passed and the counter did not receive any more reports of unusual babies. Not in Eastern State, not in other cities, not in foreign countries, and not in Mysterium World.
It was as if a thread had been cut. Suddenly, the connection was broken.
"The mistbreaker has made some progress …" Elder Tong said to himself. He was excited but also worried. He could not bring himself to be happy.
It had been a day since the fog-breakers entered the black fog zone. Ever since they entered, the alley of Anfu Village was still shrouded in black fog. There was no movement. No one knew what was going on inside, so this sudden break in communication was another kind of unknown.
Since there was a new change outside, Tong Ye decided to send more drones and driverless cars into the black fog to investigate.
"Let's hope we're lucky …" Tong Ye told Ceng Chanjun, who was online remotely, but there was a strange anxiety in his heart.
"Ol 'Tong, I felt a strange splitting pain in my head earlier …" Ceng Chanjun also had a bad feeling about this. "This is not normal."
"Perhaps we're just too tired." Tong Ye tried to sound optimistic, but he was already prepared for the worst …
People like them had been exposed to abnormal things for a long time and studied spells. Even though their perception was not as good as Gu Jun and Yu Chi, they still had it. Something good was about to happen, but they had a bad feeling about it. It was very likely that the price they had to pay for this result would not be small.
The concept of price was like a guillotine hanging above them, ready to fall at any moment.
However, it was unclear who would fall on the head of the frontline.
In fact, Tong Ye would rather the black fog zone explode like this. It was too peaceful. It should not be this peaceful.
The drones and driverless cars entered the black fog zone. Once they crossed the border, the communication screen went black again. The signal became a static white noise. The technicians shook their heads, indicating that they could not connect. The anomaly in the black fog zone was still there.
This was bad news, but there was good news as well.
The patients with Alien Hand Syndrome who were admitted to Eastern State's Medical Department suddenly showed signs of improvement.
No matter what stage their illness had progressed to, including the patients who had amputated their limbs but still suffered from phantom pain, they did not feel as much pain anymore. The painkillers were working.
The BIID symptoms that made them feel like their right limb did not belong to them had greatly reduced. There was still a slight sense of identity, but the urge to harm themselves was no longer as strong. Some of the patients with mild symptoms could even recognize the limb as their own, but the affected limb was still temporarily sore and powerless. The patients with severe symptoms of inflammation and sepsis could now be treated accordingly.
It was like the abnormal force that had been suppressing them had suddenly disappeared, and they had returned to being normal people.
Alien Hand Syndrome, Alien Hand Syndrome, the sudden change in the situation could not have been a coincidence.
The commanders from both Heaven and Mystic Heaven knew that this was probably the influence of the black fog zone.
After the Mistbreaker moved out, Wu Shiyu was responsible for sleeping and dreaming, trying to establish a mental connection with Gu Jun. Earlier, she had a dream that seemed to be a success. She had brought information in and out of the dream. Therefore, her thoughts on the current situation and what they should do were naturally very important.
And Wu Shiyu did sense something.
Initially, it was hazy, but as time passed, it intensified. When she stood at the frontline of Anfu Village and looked at the black fog zone, it became clearer.
It was as if she was looking at the strange swamp in her dream …
"It's collapsing inside, no, it's already collapsing inside …" Wu Shiyu savored it. "Blood, so much blood … Dead bodies, broken human tissue …"
Her heart squeezed, it did not feel good. "We need to pull Dirty-minded Jun and the rest back as soon as possible. The black fog zone is about to disappear. They will stay at the foreign world!"
