From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 75 Resurrection

"Quickly, give me an adrenaline injection!"

"Damn it, why hasn't the artificial heart arrived yet!"

In the ICU operating room of the medical center, Williams was frantically working on his graduation thesis, even calling in several junior students with good skills to help. It was as busy as slaughtering a pig during the Chinese New Year.

In contrast, a nearby intensive care unit was eerily quiet.

With the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor, Ye Xiao slowly walked to the bedside and looked at Klingen, who had become a vegetable.

This young Mexican boy admired Ye Xiao and wanted to become a superhero.

As a result, his impulsive enthusiasm was met with a crushing defeat in the face of reality.

Klingen was lying quietly on the bed, his nostrils twitching slightly, as if he were asleep.

But in reality, it was no different from brain death; he was in a deep coma and was kept alive by the tubes inserted into his body.

The special toxin nearly destroyed his brain, but his extraordinary regenerative abilities allowed his body to maintain its last remaining functions.

This can lead to situations where the brain and even the body are perfectly healthy, but the nerves are dormant and the person cannot wake up.

Even the United States, with its world-leading medical technology, is powerless in the face of this problem.

Humans are indeed capable of creating artificial lungs and artificial hearts.

But humans are not gods, and cannot find an effective way to replace the brain.

Faced with such a difficult problem, even the most advanced modern medicine seems so powerless.

However, Ye Xiao now possesses a quality that is almost divine: [Blessing].

This terrifying and deadly virus is nothing short of a life-or-death ordeal for the living.

According to the information displayed on the panel, this virus is comparable to a nuclear weapon.

According to the current mainstream view in epidemiology.

Human pathogenic viruses in nature typically exhibit an overall evolutionary trend where mortality and infectivity are inversely related, showing a clear tendency towards natural selection.

Viruses with high mortality rates often cause infected individuals to become seriously ill or even die rapidly, significantly shortening the effective transmission window of infected individuals and rendering them unable to transmit the virus.

The virus would then find it difficult to spread widely through this host, and therefore the infectivity of such viruses would usually be difficult to maintain at a high level through natural selection.

Conversely, viruses with lower mortality rates often result in mild or no symptoms among infected individuals, whose physical condition is largely unaffected. This allows for a longer effective transmission window, enabling them to continuously spread the replicated virus to others during daily activities.

These types of viruses are therefore more likely to spread widely and are often more infectious.

However, the [Blessing] virus that Ye Xiao possesses is completely different.

This virus does not directly cause death to those infected, but rather forms a perfect parasitic relationship, even extending the lifespan of those infected and slowly tormenting them for a potentially indefinite period of time.

From severe coughing and skin ulcers to joint deformities, the disease gradually erodes the body, eventually fusing together.

Therefore, the vast majority of infected individuals will die from the various diseases they carry.

This is the truth behind the so-called "blessing".

But for Klingen, who was essentially declared brain dead, this was truly a blessing.

Having made preparations, Ye Xiao extended his hand toward Klingen and spoke in a deep voice.

"Wake up!"

Tiny black powder, resembling insects, flew out of Ye Xiao's hand and into Klingen's eyes and nose.

Ye Xiao had long been prepared for this highly contagious disease.

He almost immediately wrapped Klingen tightly in bandages and put him into a specially made sealed box with basic life support equipment.

After thoroughly disinfecting the area, Ye Xiao carefully pushed the box away from the medical center.

The entire hospital was so busy with Williams that nobody paid any attention to him.

I cannot go directly back to my rented apartment.

Furthermore, one should not go to the Middle Eastern community where the shop is located.

Ye Xiao drove to the remote farm he had rented in Bellevue in advance.

The former rancher was a classic white man who, like many rednecks, suffered from severe nuclear war phobia.

Therefore, a 20th-century shelter was left underground on this farm, complete with an air exchange device to block radiation pollution.

After simple modifications, and by adding some essential reading materials such as textbooks and books, as well as an external telephone for communication, a perfect isolation chamber was born.

"You can rest inside for a while."

Ye Xiao placed Klingen on the bed in the isolation pod, leaving behind a continuously playing video, making it seem like the prologue to some science fiction game.

This vast United States is sparsely populated, and it has been equipped with cameras and explosion-proof locks.

After working for several days, Ye Xiao finally left the farm with peace of mind.

By the time he returned to Seattle, Chief Smith's funeral had already been held.

I wonder how Seth is doing now.

Using the pretext of fighting Superman, all the bad guys were taken care of, so the police station should be much better now, right?

I drove to the police station on my way there.

To my surprise, Will was in the parking lot, smoking a cigarette with a gloomy expression.

Hearing the sound of a car, he looked up irritably, and a sudden glint appeared in his eyes.

"Ye, where have you been these past few days? I thought you'd run away to escape punishment."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"Who is it? Me?"

"I'm not a wanted criminal, why would I run away?"

Upon hearing this, Will's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

"You weren't like that before, but maybe you aren't now—"

"What?"

Ye Xiao frowned.

Will took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling a long plume of smoke, his expression turning serious.

"A new police chief has been appointed, and he has also found out what you did while you were with the Seattle Police Department."

"Under state law, you will face six counts of fraud and three counts of illegally transporting dangerous goods."

"Damn it, it's a good thing your business hasn't expanded outside of Washington state yet, otherwise the Postal Investigation Bureau might charge you with violating the crime of interstate transportation of stolen human remains."

""

Will chuckled and cursed, then suddenly stepped forward and handcuffed Ye Xiao's hands.

"The suspect has been apprehended, and I can finally be reinstated."

"Um?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Will but did not immediately break free.

He could tell that Will meant no harm.

"Be careful, the new director is difficult to deal with. Just bear with her for a bit and let her vent her anger."

"What if you can't resist?"

Ye Xiao asked seriously.

"Couldn't resist?"

Will didn't expect anyone to ask him that question.

"I know these accusations won't do you any good."

"You have to endure it, even if you can't help it. I know these accusations won't do you any good."

"Ye, just listen to my advice. Being scolded is better than being accused. You're just suffering a little injustice here."

"But if you go to court, those unscrupulous lawyers and prosecutors will definitely plunder all your money."

"Even if you win the case in the end, so what? You have no money, you might as well go to jail!"

"At least they provide food and lodging there!"
