Chapter 1081 The catastrophe of the earth's ecosystem~
"What is this?"
Looking at this weird-looking ‘rabbit’, Hill Demps couldn’t help but frown.
He had never seen such a strange animal, even though he was a biologist himself, had seen countless species of animals, and had never seen such a creature.
Although from the appearance, it is a rabbit.
But Hill Demps looked through all the species related to rabbits in his mind, and he couldn't find any rabbit on Earth that looks like this.
If it weren't for the appearance of ceramic enamel, he would even think that this was a vicious snake with skin disease.
"Wait. I seem to have seen similar animals somewhere?"
Staring at the photo in his daughter's cartoon camera, a sudden thought broke through his mind, and Hill Demps suddenly remembered a post he had just read.
That was a discussion post about the Hopkins Microbiology Institute fire, and it seems that someone posted this type of animal?
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that in that discussion post, there were a few animals that looked like the rabbit in front of him, and their skin looked as weird as if it was infected with bacteria and viruses?
Thinking about it, he quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and clicked on the album.
As a biologist, Hill Demps has a special habit, that is, he will subconsciously record whether it is the pictures of animals and plants seen on the Internet or some creatures he encounters in real life.
In the album, a few pictures saved from Twitter just a few minutes ago came into his eyes.
Two of them are a dog, and the hair on the skin has almost fallen, leaving only strands of thin hair on the neck, back and tail.
The other few are different animals, the one that looks the most like the rabbit his little daughter photographed is an elk.
Although the antlers on the elk's head had fallen off, Hill Demps, a biologist, recognized it immediately.
The pupils and whites in the elk's eyes were completely unrecognizable, and the whole thing was a strange turbid white.
What makes people feel even more nauseous and nauseous is that its exposed skin presents a white debris that is constantly transforming after being infected with viruses or bacteria.
It looks like it is infected with chronic scaly skin disease, causing erythema and a large amount of silvery-white scales on the skin.
Click to zoom in.
Hill Demps endured the nausea and carefully compared the scale structures of the elk and rabbit, his face full of solemnity.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
The little daughter in her arms leaned over with curiosity. Hill Demps ignored her daughter's call. He quickly forked the album, clicked on Twitter, and searched for the posts he had just read.
However, what surprised him was that the posts that were still there in the previous few minutes would have disappeared without a trace.
No matter how he searched, he could not find a trace of it, and he could not even search the links in the history.
If he hadn't remembered clearly that he had seen it, and the pictures saved in the album could prove it, he would even think that he had hallucinations and had problems with his memory.
"What, my dear."
In the living room, his wife Juliana Casey walked over and asked with some curiosity in her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Hill Demps asked quickly, "Where did you find this strange rabbit?"
Juliana Casey recalled and said, "It's probably next to a flower bed near Corolla Street."
"Where is the exact location?" Hill Demps asked quickly.
Juliana Casey thought for a while and said, "It's across from the Madine Bakery on Corolla Street. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Putting down my phone and putting my little daughter on the sofa, Hill Demps said with a serious expression: "I want to go out first, I hope my premonition is wrong, otherwise we may be in trouble."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
A medical conference is being held at Stitfield Hospital in Maryland.
Over the past week, Stitfield Hospital has received more than a dozen patients of different genders and ages but with the same conditions.
For doctors in this industry, this is obviously worthy of their attention.
In the conference room, a medical expert frowned and said, "From the recent receipt of seventeen patients, this may be an early manifestation of a novel human papillomavirus."
"But honestly, I've never seen an HPV infection with this symptom."
In his hands, there is also a medical record report that details the cases of seventeen different patients they have recently received. There are pictures on the record report.
In the picture, the patient's skin showed different types of structural changes, some of which had toe deformity and some were the neck, spine and shoulders.
In addition, the sampled skin presents a matte look like a stone, which looks quite weird.
Opposite, Professor Anderson Joel of the Virology Department shook his head and said, "But the human papillomavirus is not infectious for most people. Only due to natural genetic problems and lack of immune system functions can the invasion of the virus."
"Even in the whole world, the number of patients with this disease is quite rare."
"If it is HPV infection, it is almost impossible for seventeen people to appear at the same time."
"Also, we conducted genetic testing on these seventeen people and confirmed that they do not have the defect of infecting human papillomavirus."
"The virus that was taken out of their bodies was not papillomavirus from the test. It is a brand new virus that we have never seen before."
"What do you think this is?" asked Dr. Lind Cleveland, who had spoken before, frowned at the conference table.
Anderson Joel: "I prefer that this is likely to be an infectious disease."
Just as several doctors in the hospital were discussing the new virus, across the conference table, the director of the Infectious Disease Center of Stitfield Hospital looked a little solemn. He frowned as he looked at the report in his hand.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He always felt that he had seen this virus somewhere.
"Shet! This is Martian dead mushroom!"
Suddenly, a curse suddenly sounded in the conference room. All the experts and doctors who were discussing the condition were startled and looked at it subconsciously.
Professor Francis Schilster, director of the Infectious Disease Center, was staring at the report document in his hand with an ugly face and anger. The thick paper had been deformed by him.
"Damn it, why does this bacteria appear here!"
Professor Francis Schilster didn't care about the explanation and cursed with anger.
A doctor beside him hadn't reacted yet and subconsciously asked, "Martian worm? What is that?"
However, the astronauts who had memories of Martian bacteria infections several months ago and others at the lunar base were already in chaos.
"Martian worm? Are you sure?"
"How is this possible? Aren't this bacteria always on Mars and the moon?"
"Wait, I remember it wasn't solved on the moon? Has anyone brought it to Earth?"
"Oh God, this is really bad news. Once this bacteria spreads on Earth, it may spread quickly to the whole world."
"This must be reported to the Ministry of Health."
In the conference room, when the name of Mars Fertilizer appeared, the entire conference room suddenly became in chaos.
Those who have almost learned about this ‘super bacteria’ from Mars may feel a sense of fear of its appearance.
This is a bacteria that can change the body structure of humans or carbon-based organisms, and it can mutate people into another form of life.
Of course, in addition to this, there is also a high mortality rate after infection.
Although not everyone has always been concerned about this bacteria, there are still people in the Stitfield Hospital who have been paying attention to the study of Martian dead stones on the lunar base in China.
Judging from the research results of Yuehua Taiwan Research Base, this Martian bacteria can spread in the air and have a particularly strong infection ability.
It has two possibilities: success in infection and failure in infection.
The former will turn humans into silicon-based life monsters, while the latter will cause death consequences, with the proportion of the two being close to 6:4.
That is to say, if ten people are infected, six will turn into monsters, and four others will die.
The key is that this bacteria is not only targeting humans, it targets almost all carbon-based animals.
This means that once this bacteria spreads on the earth, the earth's ecosystem will suffer great damage, or even a catastrophe.
Whether for animals or humans
