Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 29 Source of Infection (Please read on)

Those who were near the window all turned their eyes to the man with pure yellow skin.

His skin was not a natural yellow but a sickly yellow, a standard symptom of jaundice.

When there is a metabolic disorder of bilirubin in the human body, symptoms will appear on the surface, specifically the sclera, mucous membranes, skin and other tissues will be stained yellow.

As far as Xia Shou could remember, this seemed to be caused by some liver disease.

"Is it weird?" Xia Shou turned around and looked at the strange patient.

Xia Shou was not the only one who noticed this strange patient. The patients and their families who were near the window all noticed this weird patient with yellow skin at the first moment.

The yellow-skinned patient slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed the closest strong man next to him. His five yellow fingers suddenly grabbed the other's wrist.

In just a few seconds, the strong man's healthy and rosy complexion quickly turned yellow, and an uncomfortable and disgusting expression appeared on his face.

"Fuck your mother!" the sturdy man roared, broke free from the other's hand, and knocked the yellow-skinned patient to the ground with a punch.

In shock and anger, he kicked hard and hit the opponent in the face. There was a crisp sound of bone breaking, and the yellow-skinned patient's nose was kicked crooked and sunken, and a lot of nose blood gushed out.

This sudden bloodshed caused screams in the corridor. The noisy crowd near the service desk stopped their noise and instead walked towards the end of the corridor to join in the fun.

Xia Shou stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, peeking at the view of the audience in the front through Alice's vision. He watched the scene expressionlessly, and did not try to stop it. Instead, he silently analyzed the strange characteristics of this incident in his mind.

"Can the same disease be transmitted through physical contact? But it seems that the defense of the abnormal body itself is not very good, and it can even be knocked down by the fists and kicks of ordinary people." Xia Shou said to himself.

"I'll go kill him." Su Weiyu drew her sword and walked forward.

Xia Shou grabbed the other person and said, "Wait a minute, there seems to be something wrong with that man."

Su Wei Yu frowned slightly and turned to look at the sturdy man who had just attacked. She saw that the other party opened his mouth wide, covered his stomach and fell to the ground in pain. Then he puffed up his cheeks and opened his mouth to vomit a large ball of foul-smelling vomit.

"Call a doctor, call a doctor quickly!" The strong man raised his head in horror and shouted to the onlookers.

Yellow tears slowly flowed from his eyes. He looked in fear at the strange patient who was slowly crawling up beside him. He completely lost the courage to resist. His facial features were distorted by extreme fear. He screamed and crawled towards the crowd.

Others avoided him as if he were the plague. The strong man stumbled while running and fell in front of an old man in a wheelchair, his palm just touching the old man's body.

The next second, the yellow color on the strong man's body gradually faded, while the old man's skin turned yellow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I... I'm okay?" The sturdy man looked at his gradually recovering skin color in surprise, with a smile of salvation on his face.

But when he looked up and saw the old man in front of him whose whole body had turned yellow, he was so scared that he screamed, leaned back, and fell a long way.

"It's none of my business! What you saw has nothing to do with me! I became like that because of that person who bumped into me just now!" The sturdy man hurriedly explained, but everyone stayed away from him in even more fear.

"That person...that person is coming again!" a woman in the crowd said, pointing behind him.

At some point, the yellow-skinned patient who had been knocked to the ground just now stood up again and walked towards this side with slow and firm steps.

Blood was gushing from his nose, but there was no trace of pain on his dull face.

Seeing this, Xia Shou jumped onto the service desk and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, go back to the ward and lock the door! This guy is not a human. If you touch him, you will die!"

The air in the corridor was quiet for a moment, and the next second, the crowd screamed and fled in all directions like frightened sheep, moving in panic. They rushed into the nearest ward like headless flies and locked the door from the inside with a click.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Shou and Su Weiyu were the only ones left in the corridor. Even the nurse at the service desk slipped into the ward.

The yellow-skinned patient continued to walk forward step by step. His walking speed was so slow that even a child could easily run away from him.

If this abnormal body's method of killing is to infect people with special diseases through physical contact, then no one will be killed by him as long as they know his method of killing.

Xia Shou tried to use Alice's ability to deprive the patient of vision to make him lose his vision, but found that his ability did not work on him.

At this moment, a ward door behind Xia Shou opened, and Wang Long ran out of the ward where Liu Guangyao was.

He wiped the sweat off his face and came to Xia Shou: "I just heard from the nurse, this is the abnormal body, right?"

"Yeah, but it's safe for now. Just don't get touched."

"Do you think that if we kill him in an instant, can we solve this case?"

Xia Shou pondered for a moment and shook his head: "That man just became like that with just one punch. If I kill him, something even more terrible might happen. The worst case scenario is that I will become a source of infection like the other person, and one with normal intelligence."

At this point, Xia Shou paused for a few seconds and then analyzed: "He walks very slowly and has almost no hand-to-hand combat ability. If the security guards bring riot forks to subdue him, they may be able to control him without hurting him."

"Or, can we take him into a room and lock him up?" Su Weiyu proposed another plan.

Xia Shou did not comment on this and turned to ask Wang Long: "Doctor Wang, have you contacted the other guards?"

"We've contacted them. They're busy arranging ordinary people. Wasn't it dark in our room just now? During that time, there was a power outage outside. Many operating rooms have had accidents, and many people have died."

"Doesn't the hospital have backup power?!" Xia Shou said in shock.

“Yes, but the launch was delayed perhaps due to the field.

In short, the hospital's external power supply has been cut off, and the emergency backup power supply is activated, which can only be supplied for 24 hours. After 24 hours... most of the seriously ill patients, as well as those in the ICU."

Having said this, Wang Long sighed, shook his head, and stopped talking.

"Beep, beep! Beep, beep!"

The phone at the service desk suddenly rang. Wang Long ran to the service desk as if by reflex and picked up the phone immediately: "Hello? How's the situation over there?"

"What?! You guys showed up too!"

"...Yes, we have some here too! Don't attack that person, or you'll be infected!"

"What?! You've already killed him? Damn, they walk so slowly, why don't you lock him up!"

"…What? How could this happen?…Damn it, I get it."

Wang Long hung up the phone and turned to look at Xia Shou, his face as pale as paper.
