Plague Doctor

Chapter 155 Sacrificed Telomeres [Thanks to the leader Wang Ke, please vote for support]

Chen Shuhuai died. Multiple departments of the Medical Department worked together to save the 95-year-old man for more than three hours.

The meaning of "I didn't see" that he shouted in delirium and fear before dying seemed to be related to the vision Gu Jun said he saw. No one knows what the reason is, whether Gu Jun and Chen Shuhuai are connected to extrasensory perception, whether there is some part of Gu Jun's delusion...

Even Dr. Tong Ye and Dr. Shen couldn't explain clearly. The research on spirituality is too superficial.

The new clue brought by Gu Jun's vision is that the whole village of Nantang Village participated in the summoning ceremony. Some of the children at that time and the current village elders are still alive. What impact does this have on them and the descendants of the whole village?

Moreover, it is basically confirmed that Uncle Gou's family are ghouls. It is certain that the four people Chen Fade who had their graves stolen and dug have become believers and should have all turned into ghouls. The whereabouts of the other three except Chen Fade are unknown.

While the Tianji Bureau was conducting various investigations and research, Chen Fade's body continued to be dissected.

Although Gu Jun's mental energy was severely exhausted, he was almost able to get rid of distracting thoughts and concentrate on his mind before he immediately picked up the scalpel again.

The death of Chen Shuhuai greatly stimulated him. He knew not to think that Chen Shuhuai was killed by himself, but in the face of this kind of plunder of death, he could not let it run rampant.

The abyss mission must be completed as soon as possible. Although he only had seven days, he set a goal for himself: "Complete it within five days!"

After the first day, the anatomy team completed the dissection of the ghoul's head and neck, and Gu Jun's task completion score reached 18.

Not fast enough! Gu Jun has moved into the Bureau Building, to be precise, it is the buffer room outside the anatomy room. He eats and drinks here, personal hygiene is done in the bathroom, and he sleeps and rests on the couch in the buffer room.

He couldn't hand over the dissection work to others, because the completion of the task only counted the part that was completed by hand, so he rejected the proposal above that multiple dissection groups would take turns to perform the dissection. The reason given was still "feeling".

There was only a five-hour break, and the work began the next day. They started working on the ghoul's torso, starting with the chest.

Opening the chest of a ghoul is quite difficult because the bones are completely distorted by collapse and growth. The twelve pairs of ribs were still there, but the xiphoid process had abnormally proliferated and deformed, forming a hard bone across the front. This was named "transverse bone" by Gu Jun. He just said it casually based on his feeling.

But this name has become a term marked on the ghoul's chest structure diagram.

After the second day, the chest dissection was basically completed, and the task completion score increased to 38.

Gu Jun's mental state is not bad. Carlop's practice has made him recover a lot, and the boundaries of his mental power are expanding. But other people working with him couldn't bear it. In order to ensure the quality of the anatomy, other teams needed to be replaced to continue to partner with him.

"Ah, I can't do it anymore..." Wu Shiyu also had to suffer the same. She is a person who is particularly prone to dark circles under her eyes. In two days, it would be even worse than Cai Zixuan's.

But Cai Zixuan contributed not only bags under his eyes, but also hair, and his forehead looked bigger.

When everyone was chatting in the buffer room, Cai Zixuan said with emotion: "This is what medicine is like. In the past two years, there was an experiment abroad that studied the saliva samples of hundreds of intern residents with one year's service and found that their The rate of telomere shortening is nearly 6 times that of normal telomere loss."

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Wu Shiyu said, "but I know you'll be bald soon."

"It is the aging rate of the entire person." Cai Zixuan explained to her, "Telomeres are a small section of DNA-protein complex at the top of chromosomes, which can maintain the stability of genes, but will continue to shorten as DNA is divided. Every time DNA is copied After a split, the telomeres become a little shorter than before..."

"I understand." Wu Shiyu nodded, "The shorter the telomeres, the shorter the hair."

When she said this, she looked at Gu Jun who was eating a lunch box over there, "So he can too?"

"Theoretically yes." Cai Zixuan had another emotion, "Hao Jun is still a handsome boy even if he is bald. Three thousand worries will be gone if they are gone."

Wu Shiyu stroked the top of her head when she heard this, "Fortunately...it's still there." This was one of the few worries she wanted to keep.

After all, DNA differs from person to person. They are both medical dogs. Wang Ruoxiang's hair is very thick, and Gu Jun's has no signs of deterioration for the time being.

But if this continues, no one can say for sure how long Gu Jun's telomere length can be maintained. From the third day on, his sleep time changed from five hours to three hours, with only three hours and 15 minutes of rest in between. It was almost a crazy state.

This attitude is admirable, but can your body bear it?

In the conference room of the headquarters, the anatomy observation team was no longer able to compete with Gu Jun. Xiao Huiwen and the others exhausted all their energy just by watching remotely.

But what surprised them most was that although Gu Jun was obviously tired, he could still maintain the accuracy and quality of the anatomy.

"Force him to rest for a while." Xiao Huiwen still suggested to his superiors that too many sudden deaths occur after high-intensity work.

Tong Ye and Yao Shinian are also in trouble. This kid is terminally ill, so he is really capable of fighting.

They were really afraid of his sudden death and accelerating his condition, but in the face of this plague, everyone was working hard.

However, after the big discovery on the first day, although the ghoul's body was strange and terrifying, no new clues emerged. The bones all over its body have fine carving-like patterns, and after being scanned and compared with the computer, it was found that no one part was exactly the same, but I didn't know

What secrets does Tao hide?

At the same time, on the other side of the Arctic Ocean, the Tianji Bureau fleet explored the location range from 176° east longitude to 74°31′12″ north latitude.

The exploration team boarded a huge ice floe there, but found nothing when they left. Now the exploration team is mainly exploring Wrangel Island, the nearest island there, which is the territory of the Russian State. Therefore, this time it is a cooperative operation between the Tianji Bureau and the Russian State agencies.

Wrangel Island covers an area of ​​7,608 square kilometers, which is larger than Dongzhou City. The climate is so bad that even Eskimos cannot survive there. It is a huge desert island and a nature reserve. If there are any clues on the island, we still need to look for them.

"Let's look at Ajun." Yao Shinian hopes that there will be some breakthroughs in the anatomy room, and everyone is also looking forward to this.

Gu Jun knew this very well, so he had no reason to rest. He wished he had 48 hours a day.

After the fourth day of frantic work, he led the team to complete the dissection of the ghoul's abdomen and basin, and the task completion score rose to 80.

On the fifth day, they set off toward the spine area of ​​the body, followed by the final limbs.

Gu Jun has not triggered any new illusions in the past few days, but his mental power has obviously improved a lot, his boundaries have become wider, and his rest and recovery have become more effective. However, the more we dissect, the more we understand life like ghouls, the less weird the sense of deformity, and the shallower the sense of nourishment becomes.

As the working hours on the fifth day continued to increase, the degree of task completion also increased little by little.

When he dissected the hands of the ghoul's upper limbs, Gu Jun noticed that the completion rate of this abyss task had reached 99.
