Matthew frowned upon hearing the briefing. In this case, this virus did not seem to be a result of nature.
Everything in nature was supposed to develop and evolve progressively. Viruses like this were also subject to this rule. Even if a new type of viral infectious disease appeared, it was supposed to be a mutation of another virus.
In any case, the basic genetic structure of the virus should at least be found in the gene library. However, that was not the case for Zombie Virus. It appeared out of nowhere.
Matthew was lost in his thoughts, whereas Rhett piped up once everyone understood the situation. “lf you already understand the situation, let’s take a look at the infected patients.”
He pointed at Alvin, who then escorted everyone to a reinforced concrete corridor.
Rooms were lining up on both sides of it. Each room was separated by tempered glass and filled with medical instruments. Lying on those beds were the experimental subjects of the virus that were secretly transported back by CAUMP.
Matthew finally saw the infected patients. It took favonovel.com a single glance to feel the chill in his spine.
Judging from the pallid faces and the grayish veins, it was clear that these people had no chance of survival.
Based on the information known, this virus could only preserve the brain in a semi-alive state after invading the patient’s brain. It lost the ability to regulate the human body. Without the transmission of oxygen and nutrients through blood, the organs were completely necrotized.
After putting on the isolation suit, Matthew followed Rhett and the seniors into the room and marched toward the bed. Although this infected individual was not the type with aggressive tendencies, all the joints were still firmly fixed.
“The identity of the infected individual is unknown, the only thing we can be determined is that they are not local. The time of infection is estimated to be about three months,” Alvin explained.
The observation went on for a while before Rhett suddenly turned his head and announced, “Young men, since you are here, there is nothing to hide from you. The main reason we invited you over is also because of Zombie Virus. Of course, it’s not just because of your superb medical skills. More importantly, it’s because you have a pure heart. I believe that the future leaders of the medical field in Cathay are among you.”
This was not a kind of encouragement. Compassion was not something to brag about because it was rather deemed a restraint. The route to medicine was never free of bottlenecks.
If a person who practiced medicine was void of compassion, the further they went, the more difficult the path would become.
Needless to say, those words were just a form of motivation for Matthew and the others. The four of them exchanged glances, and Matthew Larson stepped forward.
Right when Alvin was going to stop him, Matthew first checked the infected individual’s pulse.
As favonovel.com had expected, his fingertips could not feel anything. There was no need to check the pupils, those pale and lifeless eyes showed no signs of vitality. More importantly, if one looked closely at it, they could see some brownish-red patches covering the body, those were livor mortis.
Matthew wanted to extract some blood samples with a needle, but the bulky protective suit restricted the flexibility of his fingers.
