The night sky in Dongzhou is gray, and from night to early morning, there are fewer people on the streets everywhere.

Although the Internet is strictly controlled, the media in Dongzhou have been talking in the past two days, and people's mobile phones have also received notification messages. Recently, a new type of influenza broke out in Dongzhou. It is very contagious and has a high mortality rate. If you suddenly have symptoms of muscle soreness, mental anxiety, insomnia and nightmares, you must seek medical treatment in time.

Because the news is serious, people have spontaneously reduced their travels and avoided going to crowded places, and the entire city is covered with a layer of death.

It was early in the morning when Gu Jun arrived at the Medical Department of Tianji Bureau on the outskirts of the city. After a month and a half, he finally returned here.

The buildings in the Medical Department are still brightly lit, but the colleagues who can be seen along the way are all in a hurry. No one is talking, and there is no eye contact, as if they can't see each other. Professor Qin told Gu Jun that there is no ban on internal affairs now, but it is not recommended to chat outside the work.

There are already three cases in the medical department, none of which are familiar to Gu Jun, but nightmare researchers in the psychological group.

Because he had to race against time, Gu Jun had not had the chance to see any acquaintance, so he followed him to the mental and psychological building as soon as possible. He often came to this place when he was in the training, but at that time there were no strangers in the Operations Department stationed solemnly, and there was no haze everywhere.

"At present, 10 patients are admitted here." Professor Qin also said, "The other patients are in the isolation camp." Yao Shinian nodded.

After entering the building, they passed many levels and entered the Nightmare Research Center located on the 12th floor.

It is not like the scene at around 1 a.m. From the corridor to the offices, there are busy medical staff, experimental personnel, and everyone trying to understand this disease from various aspects such as neurology, psychiatry, and psychology.

But they either frown or expressionless, they could not find any breakthrough.

"Old Qin, Team Leader Yao." Tang Zhifeng, the leader of the psychological group, walked over quickly. He was a little surprised when he saw Gu Jun. He knew Gu Jun.

Tang Zhifeng was one of the judges of the medical skills competition that day, and he also admired Gu Jun's psychological quality.

But later, Gu Jun was suspected to be "the thing in the banyan tree" and was taken away by the investigation team of the abnormal force. Tang Zhifeng also knew about some of the situations. Many other people here have also heard of some gossip about Gu Jun, mainly saying that this upcoming star was taken away for crimes, and at this time he was quite confused about his appearance.

"This Gu Jun is my own person." Professor Qin raised his voice and introduced to everyone, "He has done a lot of amazing things, and now he will join the research work."

Everyone was surprised that Gu Jun could bring something to the point of being valued by Mr. Qin and Commander Yao so much?

But isn't Gu Jun from the surgery department? Oh yes, try the research plan for the treatment with lobular leukotomy. The first surgery will be performed tomorrow morning. Gu Jun is joining the surgical team, but how could he be taken so seriously...

"Hello everyone." Gu Jun had just greeted everyone, and Professor Qin said, "Team Leader Tang, let's take Ajun to see the patient."

Soon, Gu Jun put on a white coat and a medical mask again after several days, and followed several leaders to the ward area on the floor.

In the past, he thought wearing a mask made his breathing so hot, but now this long-lost feeling makes him feel a little more peaceful.

The guards on the corridors of the ward area are even tighter. Each room is a single ward. There are soundproof one-way glass windows on the door, so you can see the room from the corridor.

It was like this that through the glass window, Gu Jun saw a nightmare patient for the first time. An ordinary young man sat on the hospital bed and was in a daze.

"This patient was just admitted yesterday." Professor Qin said, his voice as calm as the old doctor said:

"Ajun, now we divide the development of nightmare into three stages. This patient is still in the early stages. The clinical manifestations are mainly sleep dysfunction. After falling asleep every night, the nightmare will repeat, and after waking up, they can't fall asleep again. Some patients in the moderate and severe stage have tried not to sleep at night, but they still have hallucinations when they reach the same point. They can't sleep well without nightmare during the day."

"At this stage, the patient's mental state will deteriorate rapidly, with retarded muscle weakness in the limbs, and subsequent autonomic dysfunction, manifestations such as increased sweating, tachycardia, arrhythmia, orthostatic hypotension, etc. There is another first symptom, which is the tongue... go in and take a look."

At that moment, the two operation guards opened the ward door and went in first to instruct the patient to be honest and obedient, and then the group walked in.

When the patient saw their group of doctors coming in, he was immediately excited and almost said something.

Gu Jun felt aroused, and he could see the panic in the patient's eyes and the desire to survive.

The other party is only a few years older than him, and should not face death at such ages of twenty-five or six.

"Ah." The patient only dared to make such a humble voice. The rule here is that the patient cannot speak freely. Only the doctor can answer what he asks, and he must say word by word. If there is any inappropriate guards, he will immediately use an electric gun to stop him.

"Hello, please open your mouth." Gu Jun heard what Professor Qin said, holding a small flashlight and walked forward with a serious look on his face to perform a tongue examination for the patient.

The patient cooperated very well and sat by the bed and raised his head, opening his mouth wide.

Before Gu Jun could take care of him with a flashlight, his heart suddenly sank, as if he was being pulled violently by the pathological scene in front of him.

The patient's tongue was obviously atrophic, shrinking nearly half of the time than the normal state, and rolled into a small awkward and weird shape. The tongue color was strangely black, exuding a strong stench, just like the tongue of a corpse...

The corpse phenomenon will cause tongue atrophy, and the change is almost the same as the tongue in front of you.

"It's OK." Gu Jun nodded to the patient in a deep voice.

"Ah, ah..." The patient made a few anxious and vague sounds, as if he was asking for help.

But after seeing the tongue, the group went out, leaving only the patient himself standing beside the bed in a daze.

"The atrophic tongue is the first symptom of the patients in the early stages." Professor Qin said to Gu Jun in the corridor, "And the patient will feel dry mouth and tongue. Drinking water will not relieve this symptom. It may be nerve damage. However, at this stage, the patient's mental will is still fine, and he just becomes a little anxious."

"This patient was infected by reading a friend's WeChat message according to him." Tang Zhifeng next to him sighed, "His friend is here, it's mid-term."

Gu Jun could only be silent when he heard this. How dare he think that he could save them? He did not trigger the feeling of spiritual knowledge...

He looked at the patient in the ward through the one-way glass window. The other party was already sitting there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

He calmly looked at the patient information sign hanging at the door again:
