Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 662: Tragic Numbness

Su Yue rocked the bed and poured water for Xia Shou to bring to his mouth.

"No, I'm fine. I just fainted from exhaustion." Xia Shou took the cup and looked to both sides. The beds were empty and he was the only patient in the room.

Su Weiyu was not there either, and no one knew where she had gone.

"What happened after I fainted?" Xia Shou asked.

So, Su Yue began to tell what happened afterwards.

After he fainted, Jiang Wengao also fainted. After the surviving civilians at the scene reacted, they were as panic-stricken as ants on a hot pan. It took them a lot of effort to settle those people.

After reading the memory of the enemy female cadre, Ke Hen and Bai He went straight to chase her. Because the information read from the female cadre's mind was regarded as a secret by the other party, they could not tell them. Only Ke Hen and Bai He continued to track her.

After that, what Su Yue narrated was what Xia Shou knew.

The completion of the ritual of the reflected world;
ultimatum;

The collective surrender of neutral and opportunistic supernaturals;

Now in this city, the only ones who can move freely are the Control Bureau and its enemies.

"Where are the others?" Xia Shou asked.

"Everyone is going to the meeting. If Brother Xia Shou is really okay, why don't we go too? That meeting seems quite important." Su Yue said.

Xia Shou nodded.

"Let's go there too."

Walking out of the medical department's ward, it was also unusually quiet outside.

Although it was already two o'clock in the morning, in Xia Shou's impression, the research department and the medical department were working 24 hours a day, never taking a break, and never lacking staff.

But now, the staff in the medical department are visibly scarce. Xia Shou saw from afar that Doctor Qiao Xin was sitting at the service desk, and the toy bear doctor behind her was operating several instruments with hundreds of robotic arms.

A doctor of Qiao Xin's level could not possibly work as a handyman at the service desk. She was only explaining two problems here: there was an extreme shortage of staff, and there were very few critically ill patients who needed care.

"Xia Shou, you look okay, that's great." Wang Long walked out of the ward in front.

Xia Shou was stunned. He remembered that Wang Long was an ordinary person. Wasn’t the ordinary person Wang Long pulled into the gap between the Root Sea and the real world by the reflected world?

"There are so few people, what's wrong?" Xia Shou asked.

"Well, the reflected world is complete, you know?"

Xia Shou nodded in agreement.

Wang Long sighed, revealing an extremely emotional and vicissitudes of life expression.

He shook his head and said calmly, "Most of the medical staff have also entered the gap with ordinary people. It is safer and can minimize casualties. Only doctors above the director level remain here.

As for the patients, since the advent of the divine law, half of the patients in the medical department died soon after. After all, no one could understand the numbers and prompts on the medical instruments. Those patients in the ICU ward could easily die if they could not take correct measures in the first time when problems occurred.

All of us in the medical department must remember Divine Law C and Divine Law S, because the exchange of information is the most important thing for medical staff. However, even if we know the Divine Law, it is useless. If we cannot understand the text, the treatment process will be full of obstacles.

If you want a nurse to help you get some medicine, you can't write a list, because you can't read and write well, and if you write it, the nurse will have to eat the paper you wrote. Even if you can write, the staff who manage the medicines have such a small stomach, how much can they eat? So in the end, you can only make voice calls and verbally ask people to send medicines back and forth.

However, the drugs stored in the drug warehouse of the Control Bureau are hundreds of times more than those in ordinary hospitals. In addition to the most basic common drugs, there are also a large number of abnormal drugs, and they have to be found according to the list.

Normally, when you are looking for a medicine, you enter the name into the computer, including which room, which cabinet, and which row it is in. It is all written clearly. But now, since text is incomprehensible, you have to use audio playback, which is many times less efficient.

After much difficulty in finding them, the pile of labels were all incomprehensible. How could the nurses who were not familiar with all the medicines recognize them? Because of the delay at the beginning, many critically ill patients died.

And it wasn't just finding medicine. There were obstacles in every aspect, such as surgery, medical consultations, and medical records. Patients who would have been fine at all died all at once, like a domino effect. Everything was a mess, and the situation only eased a little when the death toll was reduced to a small number.

This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. So many people died one by one in front of you before you could even react. Those who had escaped danger were gone in an instant.

God's law is truly terrifying, much more terrifying than natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes.

You can still run away from earthquakes and hurricanes, but the divine law is like turning all the oxygen in the air into poison gas, which is simply impossible to defend against. Before you can find a gas mask, you will have been poisoned to death.

It’s ridiculous to say that many of the people who finished the work didn’t die in the most dangerous abnormal events. After months of emergency treatment, they were finally getting better, but when the divine law came, they died all of a sudden... I know how those people in the zombie city felt back then.”

Xia Shou felt extremely heavy after hearing this.

Wang Long shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, complaining is useless. In fact, our control bureau is relatively good. In ordinary hospitals, I heard that most of the people who died on the same day were dead.

The rest will not die immediately if left alone.

I heard that there was a massive explosion caused by an operational error at the Chengbei Chemical Plant the day before yesterday. Although extraordinary people were sent to put out the fire, many people still died.

The coming of divine law... Alas, it only happens once every hundred years."

Xia Shou and Su Yue both remained silent.

In the initial stage of the advent of the Divine Law, the casualties also made Xia Shou very nervous and anxious. Although he comforted Jiang Wengao in that way, he was actually under a lot of pressure in his heart.

But now, he is numb.

Today, the entire community of Tianyu Mansion was razed to the ground because of the battle between him and Van Cleef.

Be it enemies or innocent civilians, they were all turned into powder silently, and Xia Shou did not feel much grief.

The casualties have become cold numbers. So many have died now, and more will die soon.

And he himself is part of the number.

People who are about to be burned to death in a fire will not feel sad for those who have already been burned to death.

Continuing forward, Xia Shou passed the infusion hall. There were suddenly more people there. Dozens of people were sitting in the infusion hall receiving infusions. Xia Shou also saw Su Weiyu's figure inside.

"A Shou, you're awake!" A look of joy flashed across Su Weiyu's tired face for an instant.

She is on an IV drip.

No doctor would treat Su Weiyu, it could only be that she gave herself the injection.
