Old Port, a subsidiary of Batimo Biotechnology Group, Old Port Batimo Hospital.
A middle-aged male doctor wearing glasses and a white coat leaned over the hospital bed and carefully examined Yang Jie's body.
After checking the unconscious Yang Jie, he straightened up and looked directly at the young man in disbelief:
"Is this...post-war radiation syndrome?"
After muttering, he frowned again and said to himself:
"Shouldn't it?"
The middle-aged doctor bit the thumb nail of his left hand and recalled what was mentioned in the book.
After the nuclear war, affected by various types of radioactive pollution, a large number of humans suffered from various radiation diseases. The medical community comprehensively referred to these diseases as "postwar radiation syndrome".
In the early days, these diseases were almost impossible to cure. The level of medical treatment in the ruined wasteland had seriously declined, and sufficient medical resources could not be provided for patients. A large number of humans died as a result.
Postwar radiation syndrome did not slow down until twenty years after the end of the nuclear war.
Another twenty years passed, that is, about forty years after the end of the war, when the new generation of humans could adapt to the radiation environment, and the postwar radiation syndrome completely disappeared.
It took humans two full generations to select a body suitable for survival in the wasteland environment.
Now, here's the problem.
Logically speaking, radiation syndrome should have completely disappeared in this era and become a historical disease in the books.
But how could this young man...
With this thought in mind, he picked up Yang Jie's test sheet again.
White blood cells: 87.6×10⁹/L
Of course, the machine cannot make mistakes, and the test results are clearly displayed here.
Then the person with the problem should be the sleepy young man in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, he put down the test sheet, turned around and asked Ryan:
"Has he taken blood supplements?"
"When you said that, I remembered it."
Ryan was suddenly stunned when he heard the doctor's question. Then he slapped his forehead with his palm and replied:
“We have never seen him take blood supplements.
Dr. Forens, does this have something to do with it? "
Hearing this, Fulance nodded.
Right.
The symptoms of this young man are exactly the "postwar radiation syndrome" that has disappeared for a long time!
It is not without cost that humans in the wasteland have evolved to adapt to the radiation environment.
The decline in bone marrow hematopoietic function is the price humans pay.
Although what exactly caused this result to occur, the medical community has not yet reached a conclusion to this day. But from now on, all new humans will suffer from symptoms such as anemia, irregular heartbeat, and limb weakness due to the decline in hematopoietic function. In severe cases, it may even lead to death.
And this is the reason why you must take "blood supplement tablets".
A large part of the reason why the poor outside Old Port cannot even participate in heavy manual labor is that they cannot afford to take blood supplements.
He is unable to withstand radiation and his hematopoietic function is normal - this is a physique that only old humans have.
"Pre-war freezing technology..."
Dr. Fulance murmured to himself, and something he inferred from the symptoms made his heart beat faster.
Legend has it that in the pre-war era, some wealthy people froze themselves for various purposes—perhaps suffering from a disease that was incurable at the time, or simply to avoid war.
In short, these people use liquid nitrogen cryogenic technology to put themselves into an ultra-low temperature dormant state so that they can return to society in the future.
But a hundred years have passed since the war, and no one has ever heard of these "frozen people" being found in places known to Fulance.
Before finding out about Yang Jie, Fulance thought it was just a rumor.
But after today, Fulance felt that the young man lying on the hospital bed was probably the legendary "pre-war frozen man".
Such a shocking discovery made it difficult for him to calm down for a while.
"Doctor Forens, what's wrong?"
Ryan didn't hear clearly what Fulens said, so he had to get closer and asked with a little worry:
"Is his illness difficult to treat?"
Florence came back to his senses, looked at Ryan, hesitated for a moment and replied:
"This is not a problem that is difficult to treat. His physique is somewhat special."
Speaking of this, Fulance suddenly fell silent for a moment, but did not choose to tell Yang Jie's special features. Instead, he changed the subject:
"This young man does not need to take blood supplements, but he needs to take Xiaofu'an, an anti-radiation drug. Within three days after taking it, you are not allowed to take him to the north of the Long Wall.
In addition, he needs to take Kangfu Ning regularly, and the dose does not need to be too much. I will write down the dosage requirements later. "
Kangradian and Xiaoradian are anti-radiation drugs produced by Laboratory No. 42. The former can be taken when you are in a high-radiation area and can resist excessive radiation to a certain extent; the latter is taken after you withdraw from a high-radiation area. Its main effect is To remove residual radiation effects from the body.
"Then I'll prescribe medicine?"
Ryan was about to go downstairs in a hurry, but was stopped by Fulance.
Florence shook his head and said:
"OPBH doesn't have it here."
Looking at Ryan's puzzled eyes, he explained:
“There are no high-radiation areas around the Old Port, and there is very little market demand for these two drugs, so Bartimo Biotech did not seek a production license from Laboratory 42.
Therefore these two drugs are not on our medical list. "
As he spoke, Follens took out the pen on his arm, wrote the names of the two drugs and how to take them on a note, then pulled off the note and handed it to Ryan.
“You have to go out and find it yourself.
However, these two drugs are relatively rare in Old Port, so you may need to spend some effort. "
Ryan nodded, took the note, glanced at it, and then greeted:
"Rock, come with me, let's find medicine.
Ivan, take care of Yang Jie and Elena. "
After speaking, Ryan hurried to the door, thought of something again, and then stopped.
"By the way, there's one more thing, bear."
As he spoke, he glanced at Christine, who was hugging her knees and sitting by the corridor wall outside the ward, blinking at Yang Jie in the room, and winked at Xiong Xiong.
"Keep an eye on it."
The two have worked together for many years, so Gou Xiong naturally understood what Ryan meant. He nodded, and then watched Ryan and Rock walk out of the ward.
Turning his head, he looked at Elena who was lying on the bed next to Yang Jie.
The anesthesia from the operation had not yet worn off, and the girl was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, her breasts rising and falling regularly.
Elena's injury was not particularly serious. She only had a broken rib, and the broken bone slightly scratched her right lung. Fortunately, the wound was not large and did not cause pneumothorax.
At that time, when Ivan heard Elena's request to give up on him, Ivan felt his heart stopped for a beat. He knew that Elena's choice was the right one, but his strong personal emotions prevented him from accepting it.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Jie on the other side.
If it weren't for Yang Jie, his adopted daughter would really be in danger this time.
At this moment, knowing that both of them were fine, Ivan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This experience was full of twists and turns and quite dangerous. It was lucky that Team Akainu was not injured or disabled.
Although the mission was not completed in the end, or the information about the mission was wrong again.
But in Ivan's heart, being able to come back alive is better than anything else.
"This gentleman."
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Florence say:
"You take care of the two of them here. I'll go back to the office to get some things. I'll be right back."
Ivan nodded after hearing this, and then saw Fulance walking out of the ward quickly.
Entering the elevator, Fulance did not press the fourth floor button leading to the office. Instead, he pressed the 2 button.
The second floor is where the laboratory is located.
