Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 355 Information on the Sick Village

"In these more than 20 years, it's not that no one has tried to explore this space station..." Ke Lan pressed the remote control, and the information on the projection screen suddenly turned to the next page, "There is information to follow A total of four times were recorded, namely nine years ago, six years ago, four years ago and three years ago."

"The latest record is worthless. It's just a group of rich young masters who organized a 'test of courage'. As a result, they only went around the periphery of the B and C districts, and didn't even go deep into the B and C districts. I returned to the ark in despair, and the entire file was less than [-] characters including the title... As for the time four years ago, it should be the time when Ivan's friend disappeared." Ke Lan said.

"Well, there are three people in total, all of whom are doctors. The purpose of the exploration operation is to study topics related to radiation sickness, but when they came back, there were only two people left, and both of them died within a year. The cause of death was highly malignant. non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," Ivan said.

"Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?" Ke Lan was slightly taken aback. This is a malignant tumor of the blood system. Compared with leukemia, which is also a malignant tumor of the blood system, the five-year survival rate of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is slightly lower. Higher, but the death rate of those highly malignant lymphomas is much faster than that of acute leukemia. From the appearance of obvious symptoms to death, the shortest time is only a few days. In this case, there is not even a window for rescue.

With the current medical technology, many cancers are no longer terminally ill. Even if they cannot be completely cured, it is still easy to prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life of patients.And these two people are doctors themselves, and they don't belong to the kind of people who are unable to afford medical expenses, but they died of lymphoma within a year. Obviously, what they suffer from is that kind of malignant degree The highest, fastest-killing type.

"Is it because of the radiation?" Ke Lan asked. The description of the two people's illnesses in the information was vague, but Ivan knew more about it. "Even if they didn't wear protective clothing, going to that kind of place , you must be taking anti-radiation medicine? After you come back, you will definitely be intravenously dripping Radiation Elimination to expel the radiation in your body... Logically speaking, this should not be the case... If the radiation is so strong, then the space station will There's no way anyone could survive."

"Look at this one." Ivan pointed to a section of the document and said, "They were attacked by unknown people when they were visiting patients with radiation sickness in the sick village."

Ivan paused, and continued: "Among the two people, one of them had contact with me after returning to the ark, and he told me that after the attacker injured them, he spilled his own blood on their wounds. "

"You mean... blood infection?" Ke Lan pondered for a few seconds, "But... although non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a malignant tumor of the blood system, this disease will not be transmitted through blood infection... If It makes sense that they were suffering from AIDS... Wait! Could it be that these two people were infected with AIDS, causing their own immune system to collapse, and then they developed lymphoma, and the disease deteriorated and died in a short period of time? right?!"

Ivan shook his head: "No, I checked the autopsy report, and the HIV test was negative."

"Then it doesn't make sense... unless the blood contains a high concentration of radiation, direct blood will cause this kind of consequence... But, if there is such a high concentration of radiation in the blood, then the owner of the blood , can it still be considered a human being?" Ke Lan tapped his index finger on the table rhythmically, and said slowly.

"In short, the following points must be added to the precautions: take good physical protection, try not to cause trauma, absolutely prohibit the intake of local food and drinks, strictly prohibit contact with any local body fluids, and it is best not to have any direct physical contact Contact." Ivan said seriously.

"Hearing what you said, why do I feel like this sick village is raising Gu..." The hound couldn't help but complain, "The weak and unlucky ones probably died soon after being sent up. Those Those who can survive, and those who can stay in the space station for several years, are probably not monsters, and they are almost monsters... This is not a human, it is simply a poisonous king."

"Then...that Marshall...could he still survive in this kind of place?" Zhuo Ligetu whispered, while looking at Akira Asano cautiously.

"People from the Security Bureau tortured Mann's entourage. The news that Marshall was in the South [-]th District was only known to them half a month ago... Although it is not clear whether the source of the news is reliable, it is at least worth a try. .” Ke Lan said.

"That also depends on the timeliness of the news... If they get an outdated piece of information, then we won't be taken advantage of." The hound muttered.

"Let's not talk about this." Ke Lan paused, "In addition to these two exploration records, the earlier two records contained more content, including the living conditions of the sick village and the daily diet of the residents. and living, some customs and beliefs . . . "

Speaking of this, Ke Lan suddenly stopped, and the expressions of several other people also changed to varying degrees.

"It is mentioned in the records... that the residents in the sick village generally believe in an unnamed god..." Ivan read the second half of the sentence from the information, "This god...could it be..."

"Heretical sect." The hound said every word, his face very ugly.

"It doesn't have to be a heretic sect... Even if there were missionaries of heretic sects mixed in with the miners suffering from radiation sickness, the South Sixteenth District is completely isolated from the outside world, and heretical sects on the ground are impossible Those who can control the believers there..." Ke Lan analyzed, "Besides, the old dog also said that the residents of the sick village don't live long. It’s definitely not the same kind of…”

"But it is still a threat to us." Ivan continued to read on this information, "The residents of the sick village are very xenophobic, especially the healthy people who came from the ground and did not suffer from radiation sickness... It is precisely For this reason, those who go to the sick village to explore are extremely difficult to conduct investigations, few locals are willing to communicate with them, and they are often spied on, followed and even attacked."

"If I were these people, I would also hate the people on the ground. Those mining companies do all kinds of immoral things like giving birth to sons. What's the difference between throwing people into the space station and leaving them in the wilderness to fend for themselves... To put it bluntly Now, those mining companies never treated them as human beings... This is simply the treatment of animals." The hound said cursingly.
