Chapter 78: The Eve

"It's scary to find out that this is a kind of parasite? No, no, this developmental state is more like viviparity. It's unbelievable."

Dr. Kramer had never seen such a chilling medical report. It was even more terrifying than receiving a critical illness notice from his own family member.

"So, Dr. Kramer, do you think that the demon monster we saw before might have evolved from this kind of 'parasitic fetus'?" In an office, besides Dr. Kramer, there were Jamie and his two deputy captains.

Kramer adjusted his glasses, frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "It's hard to judge based on the current level of embryonic development, but even if such a weird parasitic form is not a demon, it is definitely the public enemy of all mankind. Although I don't know how these creatures parasitized this place, if they spread, it will be a disaster more terrifying than the zombie virus imagined."

Jamie and the deputy captain looked at each other and nodded.

"Thank you, Dr. Kramer. Please abide by the confidentiality agreement and refrain from telling anyone what you just saw."

Kramer hesitated, shook his head, put down the file and left.

After watching Kramer leave, Jamie's expression turned serious.

"Currently, more than 30 patients have been confirmed to be infected with 'parasitic fetus'. Even if the probability of seeking medical treatment is ten to one, more than 300 people have been infected."

"The 'parasitic fetus' of the patient has no growth trend for the time being, but it cannot be ruled out that it will be 'activated' in a short period of time."

"We are no longer able to control this situation. We must request the army to cut off the passage between Maicheng and the outside world to prevent the parasite from spreading outward."

The two vice captains looked at Jamie.

Jamie didn't hesitate much.

"We will report our judgment to the higher authorities and let them make the decisions on these issues."

"As for the patients, keep ten of them as samples for observation. We need to know the impact of parasitic fetuses on people, their development speed, and their newborn status at any time and anywhere."

Jamie's words were exactly what the two vice-captains thought, and he was glad that they didn't have any disagreements.

However, even if there are differences of opinion, they will still report directly to their superiors.

People in this line of work are afraid of having too strong a sense of justice, but it seems that Jamie was not overwhelmed by today's media praise and is a qualified executor.

"Contact the local police and increase patrols. If anyone is found unconscious, send them to the hospital immediately. Also keep an eye out for facehuggers."

The face hugger is a name they gave it based on some of the features of the parasitic process captured on camera.

Of course, calling it headhunter crab seems to be an option as well.

These creatures are not actually that powerful. As long as you can avoid the first surprise attack and are prepared, an ordinary person can kill them with a crowbar.

But the difficulty lies in that this thing will suddenly jump out of the darkness and is very accurate.

"Speaking of which, today's one-eyed demon had appeared in the battle in New York before. Its weakness was that it was afraid of strong light, but this morning, it took the initiative to appear on the beach under the scorching sun."

"A feint to the east and attack in the west? Draw our attention to the seaside. In fact, they are parasitic and multiplying in the suburbs of the city at night."

“I suspect some vertical slums will become home to this demonic monster.”

All sorts of logic about the demon's behavior were worked out, and Jamie was used to it, and their discussions would often start suddenly and then go deep.

All he needs to do at this time is to go to the bathroom and stay there for a while. When he comes back, the relevant opinions will be sorted out and given to him for "review".

And that's exactly what he did.

In the bathroom, Jamie came out of the cubicle, washed his face, controlled his slightly pale face, and smiled at different degrees in front of the mirror.

Although he was very restrained in using the Blood Burning Technique and had a blood transfusion as soon as possible afterwards, his face still looked a little weak without makeup.

"Ok?"

He noticed the wreath around her neck.

After a busy day, he had forgotten that he was wearing such a thing. He took off the wreath, looked at the wilted flowers on it, threw it into the trash can beside him, dried his hands, and turned away.

"Sir, would you like to buy some flowers? They can be placed on the beach to comfort the deceased, or as a thank you to the hero Jamie." A little black boy was holding a bunch of flowers and selling them to Carlos.

Carlos looked at the flowers and then at the obvious scars on his face.

"how much is it?"

"Just two knives."

Carlos didn't buy all of them, he just picked out ten.

"Thank you, sir. This flower is for you. I wish you peace." The little boy took the money with a smile, thanked him and left.

Holding the flowers, he walked into the hospital in front and gave the flowers to the nurse on duty as a thank-you gift from the patient's family.

"Thank you for the flowers, sir."

The nurse smiled and thanked me.

"Thank you too. By the way, ma'am, I heard that many people suddenly fell into a coma today. I would like to ask if this is a new infectious disease? Is there any way to prevent it?"

"That's not a lot. I haven't received any today, but coma is usually caused by the patient's body functions and is rarely an infectious disease. If it does happen, the authorities will remind everyone to take corresponding precautions as soon as possible. Please rest assured, sir."

The nurse explained it to Carlos.

Has it not spread to this area yet?
Carlos guessed, but did not leave the hospital. Instead, he sat in the lobby and observed.

After sitting for a while, old Kurt called him.

"Something was wrong. Those unconscious people seemed very important. I had people pretend to be family members and questioned them very strictly. When they saw that something was not right, they slipped away."

"Thank you, I understand. Be careful of the strange-looking bugs in the dark. If anyone around you is unconscious, send them to the hospital as soon as possible. If possible, leave Maicheng for a while."

From the official attitude, Carlos already knew that his guess was almost right.

In return, he did not hesitate to tell us how to deal with it.

"Although I don't know what's going to happen, this is my Kurt's home. Bugs and demons can't scare me away."

".Be careful."

Carlos didn't persuade him any further.

After hanging up the phone, he was thinking.

After those strange-looking bugs pounced on a person's face, the person would fall into a coma, and upon waking up would have no memory of being attacked, which didn't make sense, considering the strange organ that had stretched into his mouth when he tried to tear a bug apart before.

Anyone who is not a fool in a movie can think of the word "parasite".

Combined with the black mud that the insects turned into after death, it is very similar to the official report of the demon's death.

The answer is already there.

In the past, Carlos would not actively think in these directions, but now that he has lost most of his desires and anger, even though he is not very smart, he can think of a lot of things rationally.

The problem is that the authorities should also know about it.

But why haven’t measures such as city-wide screening been carried out?
Aren't you afraid that this parasitism will spread completely and become irreversible?
This was something he couldn't understand.

"We can't sit still and wait for death."

Carlos took out the map on his phone and thought about countermeasures alone.
