Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 423 Soul Plague

Soon, doctors and nurses surrounded Liu Peng. Even though they were medical staff, their condition was visibly bad. Many of them had big dark bags under their eyes and looked like they could die on the spot at any time.

Liu Peng was frightened by this scene. He originally thought that the young doctor just called for help because he encountered a difficult case. Who would have thought that he could call for a whole group of people.

After surrounding Liu Peng to ensure he wouldn't escape, the middle-aged bald doctor, who was called "teacher" by the doctor who had previously treated him, walked up to Liu Peng and asked directly without any prelude or courtesy:

"Have you recently felt any sudden discomfort? For example, anxiety, daze, or sudden, unexplained nausea and irritability?"

Liu Peng shook his head to indicate no, then said: "No? Are you mistaken? I'm not here to see a doctor, the patient is here!"

As he said this, he pulled up his gay friend who was sitting in the chair.

But the middle-aged doctor pressed down Liu Peng's shoulder. He was very strong because as a senior doctor, he sometimes had to perform an operation for more than ten hours. His physical fitness was certainly not comparable to that of a otaku like Liu Peng.

After holding Liu Peng down, he opened his eyelids and mouth without permission to examine him. He also patted and kneaded Liu Peng's body. After confirming that Liu Peng had no diseases or abnormalities except for a slightly high body fat, he said:

"Please come with us. Our hospital will compensate you for all your losses. This is very important."

Liu Peng didn't have a chance to refute. Soon, two young doctors, one on each side, lifted him up and dragged him into the hospital, not forgetting to bring his gay friend along.

The inexplicable situation unfolded, and Liu Peng finally couldn't bear it anymore. He struggled to get rid of the left and right, stopped, straightened his torn clothes and said:

"I can cooperate with you, but can you at least tell me what the situation is?"

Half an hour later, on the special bus to the nearest university, the doctor traveling with him finally had time to explain to Liu Peng the whole story.

"Just today, to be exact, around 2 a.m. today, most people in the world showed abnormal conditions at the same time." The doctor said to him while collecting Liu Peng's blood sample.

After the blood samples are collected, they will be sealed and sent to the university laboratory for testing, where Liu Peng will undergo a more comprehensive examination.

"The whole world?" Liu Peng was shocked again: "Is it reliable?"

The doctor looked at the citizen as if he were mentally retarded, but still patiently explained, "The Terra Health Organization has issued an alert to all member countries, and we have also exchanged information with our partner hospitals in Ruilikan. There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented public health event sweeping the world."

"Doesn't this go against basic communication knowledge?" Liu Peng's eyes widened. "You mean everyone in every region of the world fell ill at the same time at 2:00 last night? What virus could do that? Even if our country and Ruilikan teamed up to launch a biological attack, they couldn't do it, right?!"

But at this point, Liu Peng shuddered, for he had once played a game whose ultimate goal was to spread a plague and infect the world. If what the doctor said was true, then the current situation was a bit like when he played that game, first spreading a low-toxic, high-transmission virus throughout Terra, and then suddenly discovering a lethal mutation.

But this is impossible in reality, because viruses have no thoughts and cannot mutate to become highly lethal whenever they want. Similarly, it is impossible for there to be such a god-player who can give orders to all viruses in reality.

"Yes, it defies common sense," the doctor replied. "We've collected pathology samples from patients of different races and regions for analysis, but so far we haven't been able to identify the pathogen. Some patients even have normal physiological indicators but severe mental problems... Some researchers have collapsed."

"Then why am I fine?" Liu Peng asked. "The person next to me is infected. I've been with him day and night, and I just walked around among the patients in the hospital. How come I don't feel the slightest bit of discomfort now?"

"Some people are born with strong resistance to certain diseases due to their genes. These people are called congenital immune people." The doctor said sickly. It seemed that he was forcing himself to continue working and answering questions for Liu Peng, and his body was almost reaching its limit.

"You might be one of those people who are naturally immune. We've found several other suspected people throughout the province. Currently, there are fewer than two thousand people who have been found to be naturally immune worldwide. All those in our province have been transferred to the National University in the city for testing. You might be the key to our victory over this epidemic."

After hearing this fact, Liu Peng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before, he was just joking with his gay friends, but now it seems that he is really going to become the chosen one, but he is not happy at all.

"it's useless."

But at this moment, the friend who had been silent all the time suddenly spoke up, staring at Liu Peng with his eyes and said:

"This isn't some viral flu...it's a plague on the soul level."

As soon as my friend said this, the temperature in the car seemed to drop several levels.

Liu Peng laughed dryly a few times, wanting to mock this guy.

Weren't you a staunch materialist in the past? Why did you suddenly change sides?

But looking at his friend's empty and deep eyes, he couldn't utter the words in his heart.

The car wobbled forward, and then Liu Peng felt a slight buzzing in his ears.

He wondered if he was getting carsick, but just as he heard a slight buzzing in his ears, his friend and the doctor both held their heads and screamed in pain. The doctor's reaction was particularly violent, and he even fell off his seat, knocking over the blood sample he had just collected.

The gay friend's reaction was slightly smaller, but that was because he had developed resistance to this kind of pain and could endure it better. However, his facial expression was still terrifyingly ferocious, and his pupils were radiating light again.

"Boom!"

After a violent shaking, Liu Peng was thrown forward and stopped only after hitting the back of the driver's seat.

broken!

Liu Peng suddenly realized that the driver was also infected. If the symptoms of his gay friend and the doctor worsened, the driver's symptoms would also worsen.

So he quickly got up to check on the driver. He leaned out and saw that the ambulance they were riding in had rear-ended a large truck. The front of the ambulance hit the chassis of the truck, and the truck's body cut into the windshield. The heads and chests of the people in the driver and co-driver seats were completely crushed into meat paste.

Suddenly Liu Peng felt a sense of fear and nausea. He knew he could no longer stay in the car, but just as he opened the door to take the others out, another collision occurred. A black jeep directly rear-ended the vehicle they were riding in. Through the glass of the rear door, Liu Peng saw that the driver of the jeep had also lost consciousness.

Both the front and rear exits were blocked. In the critical moment, Liu Peng's mind worked quickly. He pulled out the hanging window breaker, smashed the glass with one hammer, and threw his friend down first. When he was about to throw the doctor down as well, he suddenly glanced at another large truck not far behind him, which was staggering towards him at high speed like a drunk.

At this distance and speed, whether Liu Peng wanted to throw the doctor out or leave the doctor behind and escape by himself, there was not enough time.

So Liu Peng could only do nothing and watch death approaching rapidly.

But just as the out-of-control truck was about to hit the ambulance where Liu Peng was, its speed suddenly and mysteriously dropped to zero.

However, although the speed of the truck was cleared, the speed of the driver inside was not cleared. The driver who was not wearing a seat belt crashed directly into the front windshield. In an instant, spider-web-like cracks covered the windshield, blocking the blood mist bursting out from inside.

Liu Peng watched all this in shock and confusion, while outside the ambulance, the gay friend who was thrown out by Liu Peng first slowly stood up. He stretched out his hand in the direction of the rushing truck and made a blocking gesture, and the strange light in his eyes lit up again.
