Chapter 58 Entering the Village Quietly
“Lille asked you to try pretending to be a gorilla arm. Have you gone to Lao Wei to place an order?”
V and Jack were chatting at the entrance of Arasaka College. ——That’s right, even though he was about to go on a mission, Lille still insisted on finishing the day’s classes.
Lille’s statement is: I’ve already paid the money, so it’s impossible to pay it in vain, right?
Besides, when patrolling, you must be alert at the beginning and relax when the shift is about to change.
V was used to this kind of request. Jack was just surprised, but relieved when he thought it was Lear.
Only the Sixth Street Gang insider driving the car felt as if he had seen a ghost:
Brother, you killed more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye in this bad land. Tell me you are still here. go to school?
"Well, it's settled - speaking of this, V, you know, Lao Wei used to be a member of the Devil Boxing Club. I heard that he is a very good thief, and he might even be a boxing champion!
I don’t know why he stopped fighting later. Maybe all the boxers started playing with prosthetics and he didn’t want to fight.”
V looked surprised: "Here I go, I really don't know this. I only know that he likes to watch boxing. Is this news true?"
Jack continued: "When I placed the order, I kept asking him, He finally admitted it and told me that he had a pair of gorilla arms that were originally used for himself.
The arms were still in his collection. He said he would buy them when I saved up 200,000. Sell it to me.”
“Two hundred thousand gorilla arms? I really believe you said he was a boxing champion before. Then you can use the boxing champion for yourself in the future. I’ve prepared a prosthetic body, but you can’t even buy it.”
Jack smiled and showed off his muscles: "But I think our muscles are not bad. In fact, if Lao Wei doesn't like prosthetic boxing, I quite understand him.
As a man, you should Exercise your iron-like muscles by rolling the iron!”
As he spoke, Lille walked out of Arasaka Academy - at this time, the "holiday" cram school at Arasaka Academy started, you can see Some rich kids.
But when they left the school, they were all discussing that the Black Mewtwo dealer in the school had a new and exciting product today.
In Lille’s head is what he learned today:
Gamma-rabies, an artificially modified form of rabies.
The lethality is weakened and the infectivity is enhanced. It mainly causes digestive tract infection through contact with body fluids and eating infected food and water sources.
The symptoms are not obvious during the incubation period, but the virus concentration in the body increases and can be spread through the conjunctiva and other similar tissues, similar to pinkeye.
However, although the lethality has been weakened, if treatment is not carried out within a week after the onset of the disease, the week of onset will basically be the last week.
Fever and convulsions are very common after the onset of the disease, and doctors may misdiagnose it as epilepsy.
The only treatment is to use alpha-nerve injury sustained-release drugs, which are used to relieve the symptoms of central nervous system damage, prevent the condition from getting worse, and wait for the body's immune system to defeat the virus.
Statistics prove that the condition of an infected person will begin to improve after the first 5-7 days when symptoms are most severe.
Having a good rest during this period can greatly improve recovery. After 12 days, the recovery rate jumps up. People with weak immunity need to add another 10 days, and people who are tired need.
< br>Well, most people who continue to work after getting sick will die in the first ten days - more likely in the first three days.
This disease has different effects on modified people with different prosthetics.
For example, a person with a prosthetic eye will not be afraid of light - in a more serious situation, the optic nerve will stop working directly due to complex human-computer interaction, causing the prosthetic eye to close and generate heat.
Bad luck can lead to permanent degeneration of the optic nerve, and the prosthetic eye can no longer be fitted.
However, the good thing is that in most cases, modified people who use esophageal modification prostheses will not show symptoms of hydrophobia.
It is said to be a biochemical weapon developed by biotechnology for military technology in a certain corporate war
Of course, this is Arasaka Database’s own rhetoric——
"This rabies has really been played with tricks. This type is still a new species."
Lille was lucky.
Today’s prosthetic doctor course is mainly about first aid, including teaching about common infectious diseases.
Like gamma-rabies, you must first close the prosthetic eye directly and inject a sustained-release agent.
Of course, it’s okay to turn it on, as long as you can tolerate the intermittent image confusion and black screen, as well as the possibility of being blind forever.
There's another troublesome thing about gamma-rabies: it's not just the optic nerve that's at fault.
If the sun shines on it, the sunlight will interfere with all prosthetics almost simultaneously, depending on the tightness of its connection with the central nervous system.
For people with lower levels of prosthetics, the situation does not get better - complications such as hydrophobia still exist, which may directly lead to respiratory muscle spasm when exposed to sunlight, Even suffocation.
"We won't get sick, right?" V said worriedly.
Liel was noncommittal: "This is really not certain, but luckily the Sixth Street Gang helped us solve it - give us two shots."
Among the looted goods was a can of vaccine.
Adults only need to inject 1ml of vaccine. In other words, the vaccine in the same size container can be used by 300 people, which is ten times as much as the sustained-release vaccine. It can also last for a long time. Last for a year.
Lille took out the pneumatic injection filled with vaccine and gave all three people a shot, then he was amazed:
“This thing is obviously more useful, so the price is better than slow The release agent is 50 times higher. The biotechnology sales department is really good at pricing.”
“50 times?”
Jack and V said in unison.
A can of sustained-release preparation is now sold for 80,000 euros in Santo Domingo. The same amount of vaccine costs 50 times 4 million euros? !
But Lille was not surprised: medicine needs to be used for a long time.
If the vaccine is cheaper than the medicine, then the number of people getting sick will be greatly reduced, and then the medicine will have nowhere to sell.
On the contrary, as long as the disease breaks out repeatedly, although the medicine is much cheaper than the vaccine, the total sales volume will not be less.
"So we grabbed the main artery of the Sixth Street Gang - there is 100ml in the jar, and we probably spent a lot of money to give it to my younger brother.
Tsk, so you see, it costs more to run a force. Ah.
I just bought some common medical supplies, which cost 2,000 euros for three people.”
“Wait a minute—” V patted his head. Face, "The unit price of this thing is so much more than medicine, why doesn't Biotech snatch it?!"
"How do you know he didn't snatch it."
If a 3-week sustained-release dose can greatly improve the survival rate, then the price of the vaccine will definitely be higher than the price of a drug of the same potency, and there will be a premium. Medicines are for the lower class, so they need to be paid in installments; vaccines are for people at a higher level, so they not only have to cover the price of the medicine, but also have to pay a premium.
Starting to eliminate this disease among the middle class can also ensure the basic operation of society - it is a social responsibility.
As for the premium, Biotech didn’t steal it, but didn’t the Six Street Gang, which was operating normally, helped them?
The premium can be a good financial incentive for the Sixth Street Gang to work hard.
Lear continued: "If the Sixth Street Gang is not sick, he can go to the street to sell medicine normally - this batch of goods contains 21 cans of medicine, 1 can of vaccine, and 20 cans of sustained-release medicine in the car. The vaccine will last for a year after one injection. ,
The sustained-release preparation was sold out in two weeks - 80,000 yuan per can, 1.6 million yuan sold Basically, as long as the business continues, we can still make money.
You see, everyone has made a profit. Now, of course, we still make more money.”
< br>V twirled his fingers and got the answer before he could figure it out clearly, and then his mouth opened wide.
The soldier from the Six Street Gang who was driving felt that he had heard something extraordinary, because he knew that the sustained-release medicine was sold out in five days in less than two weeks.
But he dared not say anything.
Jack's golden bitch was staring at him fiercely. He didn't dare to say anything, not even to complain, for fear that the big man would get angry.
Lille asked the soldier: "How is it? Is your mother feeling better?"
"It's okay." The soldier sat in the passenger seat and looked around.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
"I" the soldier hesitated for a moment, then said it under the gaze of the golden ruthless woman, "My name is Achido. You should hide better, there are people in front of you."
Lil gave some popular science to a few people in the car. , the car quickly entered the territory of the Sixth Street Gang.
At this moment, the streets of Santo Domingo are full of members of the Sixth Street Gang, either riding motorcycles, driving cars, or simply walking.
The core members of the gang are about two thousand, and there are many more gangsters on the periphery, which makes people panic.
The sergeant, the boss of the Sixth Street Gang, drew a patrol map for them. They not only had to patrol according to the patrol map, but they also had to use their prosthetic eyes to scan their surroundings at all times.
A neutral businessman like Luo Shan could be frightened into hiding by Qian Mimi, and this possibility was also possible for other people.
Liel was sitting in the passenger seat, Jack, the big guy, was huddled in the back seat, and V, who was better and not that strong, was also hiding in the back.
The two of them also put on a set of tattered coats to cover their heads and faces, as if they were sick.
In this way, the patrolmen of the Sixth Street Gang could only see Lille, who was driving in the front seat, and Achido, who was in the passenger seat—one of their own.
As for the Rangers’ cars, it’s not like they’ve never seen them before in Santo Domingo – now they are driving a Tingwei Galina G240, an old car that has been on the road for 31 years.
Yesterday, the three of them drove a Mackinaw and a Tingwei Galina G240 back.
McKinna is a big black pickup truck. According to Neville, the tribe just bought it with Roxanne before the accident, and they haven't even made a few deliveries.
You can tell at a glance that it is second-hand, and the parts on it are all pieced together - fortunately, the quality of the car is very high, and although it does not run fast, its ability to pull goods is excellent.
Otherwise, the G240 would feel a little inadequate just for carrying 4 people, let alone pulling so much ammunition and guns.
Looking at the appearance of this car, it might actually be an old car that was first produced in 1931.
An accident soon came - the second half on a motorcycle - Lille thought so in his heart, and rode up to their side.
"Hey, which tribe are you from? No one dares to come in now."
"Red Ocher - those who came in to buy medicine, where are the goods you delivered? We have been waiting , I haven’t seen any of your people at all!”
The way Lille spoke looked like red ocher - he looked like a sick wanderer, with a fierce look and a weak heart.
The coat he was wearing was also in tatters - it was actually made from red ocher. There was a small circle of tactical belt tied under the coat, which contained ammunition and medicine.
The news of being robbed hasn't spread yet, but the people who helped him on Sixth Street have been wondering whether the transport convoy was robbed.
This time it was quite a match.
"So you are here to buy medicine? The medicine is gone. Go back and wait for notification."
Lille looked at the co-pilot Achido, who turned towards his accomplices The brother waved his hand: "They have to go to the factory to buy supplies, otherwise they won't die from the disease. You have to starve to death. You don’t want the boss of Rama Armory to come and question you, right?” Girls, you are so timid.”
Cars and motorcycles are still on the road.
The man on the motorcycle wanted to look into the back seat. He saw two guys wearing clothes, like those who were sick.
So he planned to get closer and take a closer look.
But Lille suddenly coughed, the car suddenly lurched, the steering wheel was crooked, and the boy almost squeezed onto the sidewalk guardrail!
This suddenly frightened the recruits who were concentrating on the motorcycle. The car fell behind a little and cursed:
"Fuck! If you drive like this, I'll hit you and kill you, idiot!"
The two Sixth Street Gang members cursed a few times from behind the car, but they didn't catch up.
The three people in the car felt relieved.
Liel smiled and put the pneumatic injection containing 10ml of sustained-release agent into Achido's hand:
"Good job."
Aqiduo's eyes lit up.
In his mind, he had not forgotten anything about the three men's attack on the convoy that day. It was to the point where his calves would tremble if he saw these three demons while walking on the street.
But the reason why he is sitting here is the same as why he is wearing Six Street Gang clothes.
He just wants to make money to give his mother medicine.
