Chapter 173: Grave of the Living
In fact, it is not terrible to place the tombs of dead people, but the cage that imprisons the living people is terrifying.
In order to investigate the "living anatomy room" in the isolation ward building of the Provincial People's Hospital, the leaders of the Wuhan Military Region agreed after a meeting and sent two captains of the Municipal Fire Brigade, Ru Pengfei from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team, to investigate secretly.
It conveys that everything is normal in the room, and the door leading to the anatomy room has disappeared. After breaking through the wall, it is a bedroom, and the building ward under the ground requires a special pass to enter.
Ru Pengfei took out a green cover document, and Dean Qu, Professor Hong and Section Chief Xia agreed to let us enter.
Director Gong led the way and introduced: "This special disease research center was rebuilt on the basis of the former site of the Hubei Provincial Epidemic Prevention and Control Center. Its predecessor was the Japanese secret water supply research institute, namely the Biochemical Weapon Research Center. It has developed vicious weapons such as mustard gas, tear gas, cholera bombs, etc., but the Japanese army had destroyed all ammunition and documents before retreating!"
There are white ceramic tiles on the corridors of the underground research center, and there is a wall light every ten meters, but it still gives people a depressing and gloomy feeling.
Director Gong continued: "At present, there are still 19 AIDS patients and thirteen lepers here, but these are all secrets of the government and health departments. I hope everyone will not spread out to avoid panic in people!"
Section Chief Xia looked at me and said hurriedly: "I am a doctor and will never disclose the hospital's secrets!"
There is also a door at the end of the corridor. After passing through this door, we have to disinfect the aerosol. Then we enter the research center. The hall is displaying various instruments and experimental equipment. Researchers wearing tight protective clothing work in an orderly manner.
Section Chief Xia said: "Every researcher here has his own fingerprint identity. Every time he enters and leaves the research center, he has to pass three doors. If outsiders have not entered the fingerprint, it is absolutely impossible to enter."
It was already noon and the researchers walked out of the hall.
Lu Zhenbo asked Ru Pengfei: "Can we withdraw? I think the disabled couple who Dr. Yuan met will not be able to escape here!"
Section Chief Xia also said: "Yes, non-researchers can't even pass the password door at the end of the corridor, and it's even more impossible to break through the fingerprint lock again!"
After the two captains agreed, they asked me: "Doctor Yuan, what do you think?"
I replied: "Then is anyone here working night shift?"
Director Gong replied: "Some, except for the on-duty staff, some researchers like to study alone in the late night, so that they will not be disturbed by their colleagues!"
Dean Qu also said: "We can call the staff and researchers on night shifts to inquire!"
Professor Hong said: "Then let's leave here first. It's already 12:10 now. Let's go and have a meal and chat!"
Director Gong was still leading the way, so we returned to the ground.
He introduced as he walked: "When people mentioned the infectious department, they were very afraid and dared not step into this place, or even dared to get close. In fact, it is much cleaner than outside. The disinfection here is more strict than in ordinary wards. The drinking water and food of patients and staff were all disinfected by high temperatures!"
At this time, a shrill cry came from under our feet, as if the evil ghosts in hell were out of the cage.
I was so scared that I shivered, and when I looked at the others, my face changed.
Dean Qu asked Director Gong: "What's the situation?"
Section Chief Xia hurriedly looked at the place where the sound came, but a researcher rushed over and told us: "There is another floor underground, where the AIDS patients and lepers are all underneath. Most of the time they are very quiet, but a very small number of patients are particularly manic when eating, which is normal!"
Lu Zhenbo asked back: "Is it normal? Can you take us to see it?"
The researcher looked at Dean Qu and Director Gong. After getting the two of them to agree, he led us through the lobby of the research center, walked through a passage, and came to the second floor of the underground. The layout here is like a prison dormitory, opposite to the left and right, the rooms are filled with iron doors and small door holes, and the walls and items in the room are made of rubber to prevent the patient from committing suicide.
At this time, there were knocking sounds in the rooms on both sides of the aisle, and a roar of one person triggered everyone's roar.
We seemed to have entered the cage of the beast, and the researcher immediately responded loudly: "Don't be anxious, we have already cooked the food, you can wait!"
"As soon as the patient reaches 12 noon, he will get hungry and wait for the food to arrive. Some patients will scream when they can't wait!" Director Gong introduced.
Lu Zhenbo asked: "Why are the patients here the same as prisoners? They are patients and not prisoners, so how can they be detained?"
Section Chief Xia immediately explained: "Captain Lu doesn't know that the patients here are much more harmful to society than prisoners in prisons, especially AIDS patients. They know that there is no cure and have little time to do so, and they feel despair and revenge on society. If they are released, it will be even more powerful than the bacterial weapons put on by the Japanese!"
Ru Pengfei said: "Secretary Xia, are you too exaggerating?"
Director Gong responded seriously: "Secretary Xia did not exaggerate. The people who have been diagnosed here are still hospitalized with AIDS patients. There are countless germ-carrying people hidden in society. They have unknowingly infected more people. Some people have spread to others even more crazily after knowing that they have been infected with AIDS patients, and even their relatives and friends are not let go!"
When he was introducing the AIDS patient in a ward next to him cursed at the door: "White Ghost, let me go out quickly. If you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will bite you to death!"
Section Chief Xia hurriedly pulled out the rubber rod from behind his waist, knocked at the iron door, and scolded: "You scare me, don't think about it again in your life!"
The AIDS patients in other rooms also became noisy, causing the lepers in the ward opposite to scream.
Professor Hong hurriedly said to Dean Qu: "We'd better leave here quickly. After the staff who delivered the food arrived, these patients would not make trouble again after filling their stomachs!"
Ru Pengfei and Lu Zhenbo also responded. The researcher sent us away. In the hall, we met a staff member who was pushing a food truck to deliver the meal. Director Gong reminded: "Dr. Qian, add some sleeping pills to the patients' meals to suppress their mania!"
Unexpectedly, the researcher who led us in was actually a doctor.
After walking out of the underground research center, we returned to the ground, and our hearts fell to the bottom. When we returned to the communication room, we saw this hunchbacked old man still sitting on the cement platform next to the nursery, waiting for his hair to fall.
Section Chief Xia asked him: "Old Zhongtou, why do you have lunch?"
The hunchbacked old man replied: "The chef inside will deliver the food later!"
Director Gong stayed in the isolation ward. Professor Hong and Dean Qu led us to the iron gate. Section Chief Xia introduced: "This old hour is just cleaning the ward and circulating a message to the inside. It's not a few years since we've been alive!"
Ru Pengfei and Lu Zhenbo said to me and Professor Hong: "Today's investigation ends here. We will return to the city immediately to report the investigation results to our superiors. Dr. Yuan, be more careful. It is best not to leave the morgue at night. If there is any danger, call the police at any time and report to your section chief!"
