Jason and Ray walked through the corridor full of dead people and finally came to the large room at the end.

Long Zhan was already waiting by the door. When he saw the two people coming over and pointing inside, he said, "Boss, there are a lot of people inside, and their situation is not good."

Jason could already hear the coughing and walked to the door with a frown on his face.

There was no light in the room and it looked very dim. As Jason swept over with his head-mounted flashlight, the scene he saw was simply too horrible to look at.

The elderly, children, women...

Everyone was in a very weak state and showed signs of poisoning.

Seeing someone walking in, the originally empty and numb eyes of this group of people did not see the fear of strangers, but instead a desire to survive.

A child with a dark face who was only a few years old reached out to Jason with difficulty and prayed in Arabic: "Help me, I don't want to die, please."

Jason is a father with a child, and what he despises the most is his child's prayers.

I couldn't stand it on the spot.

"I am B1, the Bullock protection expert team. Everyone else rushed to the second floor. Emergency rescue is needed here. Bring all the medical supplies."

Jason ordered without hesitation, his tone as heavy as his current mood.

No matter how hard-hearted a soldier is, seeing what happens to these innocent civilians will trigger sympathy in his heart, not to mention that the civilians who come here are all women, children and the elderly from vulnerable groups.

After receiving the order, members of Team B rushed to the scene and worked together to treat the civilians and investigate why they appeared here.

Team B now has two medics, namely Trent and Long Zhan.

The two of them naturally assumed the role of first aid, responsible for diagnosing the symptoms of all civilians in this room and providing treatment to the best of their ability.

Jason and others were responsible for pacifying the civilians and repairing the lighting system of the house.

Then figure out what's really going on here.

After nearly 10 minutes of busy work, everyone in Team B, who had divided their work, had their own results.

Through communicating with women and children, Jason learned the identities of these civilians and why they were abandoned here.

It turned out that they were civilians from the Soviet Union, and the Syrian army occupied their village.

All men who have reached the age of joining the army are dragged into the army and used as cannon fodder to fight against the anti-government armed forces to reduce the casualties of the Syrian army itself.

The remaining children, the elderly and women were all dragged to this hospital to work as handymen.

As a result, an accident happened some time ago. The poisonous gas leaked and killed a lot of animals outside. People inside the hospital were not spared either.

Those working near the explosion and outside died on the spot. Although those working indoors escaped the first wave of poisonous gas, the permeation still caused them all to suffer and fell into the torture of nerve gas.

The Syrian army is worried that the poison gas leak will cause the death of a large number of civilians. This news will have a negative impact on the international community.

So the most inhumane treatment was taken, the entire hospital was completely sealed off, and all the people who were poisoned were imprisoned on the second floor of the hospital.

Security guards were set up on the first floor to prevent any poisoned persons from coming out.

They were not given any treatment or food, and were left to fend for themselves on the second floor.

After these days of continuous torture, most of the people on the second floor have died of "illness" one after another, and there are now only about 20 people left among the hundreds of people.

Those who survived were the ones who absorbed the least poisonous gas, but their condition was still very bad.

The body continues to be devastated by the nerve gas, and they have not eaten for several days. If they do not receive timely treatment, it is impossible for any of them to survive.

After learning all the information about these civilians, Jason felt heavier than ever.

But it can be figured out.

After all, Jason is very clear about the cruelty of war. He has seen even more exaggerated things, let alone treating people as if they were not human beings for the sake of the country's reputation.

People living in peaceful countries can never imagine how terrifying the darkness of war-torn countries can be.

"Long, how is this child doing?"

What Jason was most worried about was the little boy who pulled his clothes and prayed when he first came in.

"His entire respiratory system is in danger. If his throat muscles continue to be paralyzed, he will drown in his own saliva," Long Zhan said.

Through the TV plot and personal inspection, Long Zhan can basically confirm that the people here were poisoned by VX gas.

It is also a fast-acting nerve agent. Symptoms will appear within a few seconds after exposure, including salivation, pupil constriction, chest tightness, etc.

Like some other nerve agents, VX acts on enzymes that control the body's glands and muscles.

When this enzyme is blocked by the poisonous gas, the molecules continue to stimulate the muscles, which tire after spasming incessantly. Eventually death occurs as a result of suffocation or the heart stops working.

The good news is that people exposed to VX have a high chance of being revived.

Much less powerful than sarin and ethyl.

The bad news is that without adequate antidotes and follow-up detoxification, the mortality rate for poisoned people is also high.

Jason has received training on biochemical poison gas, and the individual first aid kit carried by Team B contains emergency medicine to deal with this poison.

"How much atropine did you give him?"

Facing the question raised by Jason, Long Zhan stretched out two fingers of his right hand and said: "The medicine I brought is limited. There are too many people who need to be saved, so I can only give him two injections."

(Atropine: A specific drug used to treat nerve gases.)

"Give him another injection. His condition is very serious. Two injections are simply not enough." After Jason finished speaking, he took out a dose of atropine from his medical bag.

In the soldier medical kit of Team B, each person is only provided with one dose.

Jason used his on the little boy, which was equivalent to using up a backup that could save him in advance.

"You can keep it, in case you get infected..."

"Give him another shot!"

Jason interrupted Long Zhan's words and took a picture of Long Zhan's chest, with a very determined look in his eyes.
