Chapter 428 Amulet
It can be cured, but it is not completely curable.
Taking medicine before being infected is ineffective. The infected person can cure the plague by taking medicine and will not become a madman.
However, it is useless for infected people who are already sick to take medicine. The body's mutations are irreversible, and the disease is equivalent to complete hopelessness.
“Isn’t this just a rabies vaccine? No, the rabies vaccine can still have a metabolic period of half a year after it is given. Taking this medicine in advance is useless.”
Although the mouth He said this, but when he thought about it carefully, it was unexpectedly reasonable.
Just drink it and you'll be cured directly. That's not medicine, it's fairy beans.
Drugs can only treat, not rebuild the body.
Once the body has been mysteriously contaminated and irreversible damage has occurred, it is a reasonable result that it cannot be recovered.
"Although I don't know what rabies is or what a vaccine is, it is useless to take it in advance." Dr. Swain sighed. "It would be easier if the plague was only transmitted by being caught and bitten. No matter who it was. Just drink a bottle of medicine after biting it. But the key is that there is another way of transmission. "Yeah," Lynch said with a wry smile, "No one knows what they are eating." If there is something wrong with the grain, then unless you take a bottle of medicine after every meal, it depends on whether you will get sick or not. If this continues, there may be a hidden danger of the plague breaking out at any time."
"Well, but. There is no need to be so pessimistic." Dr. Swain is very optimistic. "As long as little Jack's body can be destroyed, the spread can be interrupted, the bite will no longer be contagious, and all the problematic grains will be burned, and the city will be safe. The effect of the medicine is not ideal, but it can’t save more people. The plague can still be controlled.”
What I am pessimistic about is not your place. What I am pessimistic about is our era in the Fifth Age.
Lin Qi sighed softly.
Through Dr. Swain’s conclusion, he could already predict the effect of the drug developed by Ms. Nightingale.
It's very reasonable. It can only be said that everyone before, including professionals like Nightingale, were influenced by emotions and held too high expectations. In fact, those real patients who have become ill in the Fifth Epoch are probably as hopeless as the situation here.
Furthermore, the plague in the Fifth Age also had another way of spreading, and it occurred randomly across the air.
Only when symptoms appear, it is confirmed that the disease has occurred, but at this time, taking medicine is useless. In other words, unless the target of infection can be accurately predicted, the drug will not be able to help those patients at all. When the outbreak of theocracy subsides in more than a month and the airborne disease ends, there will still be hundreds of thousands of infected people around the world as Nightingale predicted.
What's even more frightening is that just returning to Little Jack here can interrupt the spread. This is not possible in the fifth era. Even if the airborne spread stops, the infectiousness of the infected person will still remain. Once bitten by one of these infected people, unless the medicine is taken within three or four hours, it will still become a new source of infection and continue to spread the plague.
Maybe in the end, with the popularization of drugs, it will not develop into a catastrophic disaster, but the number of deaths may be one or two more zeros than expected.
"Maybe it's not that serious." Diana could vaguely guess Lynch's worries, holding his hand and lowering her voice to comfort, "After all, we have the supreme care over there."
"And even if it's the same as here, so what?" Officer Natalie, who understood Lynch's mentality best, sneered, "You just want to alleviate the impact of your behavior, you don't owe anyone, just try your best That’s fine, there’s nothing to worry about. Besides, you’ve come this far, do you still plan to go back empty-handed? Try to bring the fruits back, and professionals will handle the rest. Are you still planning to perform your duties for the Church of Tribulation? ?”
“That’s not possible.” Miss Diana covered her mouth and smiled softly, “You are competing with the church for your faith. Are you going to bully our Lord on behalf of Ms. Hongyue?” >
"I bullied her? I almost died when she looked at me a few days ago."
Lin Qi curled his lips, but his mood improved instantly. Indeed, as long as there is medicine, it will not develop into a catastrophic disaster, and at worst it can be downgraded from a crisis to a siege, which is already very good. Everyone performs his or her duties and does his or her best. There are so many big bosses, so who has to worry about me?
Besides, I don’t owe the world anything. At most, I just want to help my neighbors protect the world. As long as I try my best, I can accept it calmly no matter what the final result is.
【Hmm】
"What's wrong? Do you have any problems?" "Nothing. I'm just mourning my eight crazy heads." The fruits were put out and Dr. Swain performed a fruit bite on the spot.
Dr. Swain's expression became strange: "No matter what you plan to do with the Human Face Fruit, you can't use these. This thing has been distorted by filth, and the effect will be very strange."
"Huh?"
“Such materials will present the effect you want in the way you least expect. For example, when I traveled before, I saw someone making a wishing monkey paw, and there are Be careful about using contaminated materials. The man wished for good health and no pain, and then he was killed by a falling rock.”
"You will never get sick again?"
"Well, so never use this thing, and don't try to take advantage of its counter-productive properties. The rules are the rules, and they are not something that living beings can play with casually."
"Okay, then we can only place our hopes on the last batch." Lin Qi sighed and collected the eight fruits. Suddenly he realized something and asked, "What did you just say?" You mean, besides being disgusting, this thing has other uses?”
"Well, for example, making some amulets and the like. Although it is very troublesome, the effects are good. If you are interested and can provide normal fruits, I can help you make a few."
"What's the matter? Function? ”
“It’s a talisman to keep you safe. You’ll know when the specific function takes effect.”
It's really insincere, and I don't know if I can take it out. Ordinarily, there should be hope based on the Human Face Fruit that can be taken out, so don't give it up for nothing. Lynch asked rudely: "Is it fast?"
“It’s okay, mainly because the materials are troublesome, but I just saved a few copies and can make it in a few hours.”
“Then it’s settled.” Yan Guo plucked his hair, Lin Qi I finally got a handful of wool from this trip. Although I don’t know what the effect is, I am still satisfied. I finally remembered the business, "Now that the medicine has been prepared, we no longer have to worry about the contamination of the corpse. Should we..."
"Bang."
The door of the dispensing room was knocked open, and Knight Terry rushed in.
“Something happened.” The knight hurriedly said in the local language, “Some people saw several infected lunatics biting people in several different locations in the city, and many people were injured. ”
Um? Haven't you got it under control?
The five people looked at each other, feeling a little lucky.
Fortunately, we waited until the medicine was prepared, so we didn’t have to worry about an outbreak in the city in a short period of time.
"Where did the infected people come from?"
"It is said to be a few travelers."
"It is said?" Lynch asked, "Didn't your people see the infected people?"< br>
"No." Terry said distressedly, "I don't know where he ran."
Huh?
Lin Qi was stunned and realized something was wrong.
