Chapter 51: The noisy scene, the secluded corpse site (1)
"Tonight is an unforgettable night. I am now at the foot of the mountain in the northeast of Olympic National Park. This is a temporary ruin of a camp built by the CDC to isolate observation and treat this morning..."
"According to the current statistics, the number of fire deaths has reached more than 180, of which 137 patients in the rescue camp have all died. The cause of the fire is still under investigation..."
"There was an explosion at the scene...I am Goodwinze, a professor of virology at the CDC. I feel very sad about what happened tonight."
The thick fog at night was blown away by the strong wind, and the helicopters rose and fell. CNN's radio anchor and local Seattle media rushed to report that the guns and cannons were aimed at the fire scene in ash. Countless photographers were snatching the scene wildly. The situation was extremely terrifying. The charred corpses lie densely and neatly on the open space. It can be seen that when the fire occurred, they had almost no ability to escape.
"God... there was a fire at the foot of the mountain. What happened today."
Lyon Ross sat in pain on a rock, holding a beer in his hand, which was handed to him by Solan, who had just returned to the scene. Nina sat in a corner of the rock, writing a press release for the newspaper in an apple notebook.
"So, I think we'll change the topic, man." Solan sat beside the new police officer, but his purpose was not to comfort him: "Before the explosion, did everyone in the CDC find out what causes? Viral infections, parasitic diseases, and even fungi, did they find any clues?"
Solan also drank with a can of blue belt beer, and his eyes were always scanning everyone at the scene, especially those surviving CDC personnel. His car was also filled with zombies to be transformed, so he was not afraid of not being able to find out the trick of the villain to create puppets, but this whole secret must not be known by ordinary people.
"It's not that simple..." Lyon said in a deep voice, and then said nothing more.
Solan took a sip of beer and said, "I'm very surprised. You've been staying here and never left. Let's change the topic. What did you find here all day today?"
Solan looked at the new policeman's eyes, and Lyon's eyes flashed a little, confused, confused, but there was no fear or fear. There seemed to be no problem. Solan thought of this, and his eyes were not much different from those of the scene.
"Inspector, let me rest..." As expected, Lyon grabbed his hair tiredly: "Just seeing me wearing a police uniform, the reporters have questioned me three times back and forth. I guess when I go to work the day after tomorrow, the director will definitely scold me hard, and this kind of sensation comes from..."
"Indeed, our boss hates the media the most, I understand." Solan smiled softly, no longer making things difficult for the newcomer, patted his shoulder and stood up, then looked at Nina on the side: "Dear, how are you writing here? Wow, there are five hundred words?"
"The editor-in-chief just sent me an email, ask me to write a report on a thousand words!"
Nina was fully focused on the display, her slender fingers jumping on the keyboard: "Let the group of TV broadcasters talk about them. Now it's midnight. How many people can watch TV? Don't you have to wait for the morning newspapers!?"
"This is really hard to say." Solan looked at his watch. It was already late at night: "The news of the morning newspaper will be released at 10 o'clock the night before at the latest. Even if you finish writing it right now, can you still keep up with the typesetting and printing processes?"
"You have to care. Don't get in the way if you don't write articles!"
He was disliked by his girlfriend at work, so Solan tactfully avoided it.
Here is a distance from the center of the site. On a large area of open space, groups of reporters surrounded a charred open space and kept taking photos of the charred corpses sent to the ambulance. There were vehicles everywhere and helicopters everywhere. Because the place is remote, fire trucks temporarily took on the function of transporting corpses, and the officers and soldiers were doing fixed work on the roof of the carriage.
That night, helicopters of all the medical vehicles that could be deployed in the entire Seattle area rushed over. On the same day, the patients were first transported to the foot of the mountain, and now they are coming to transport their bodies. I really don’t know what the drivers are feeling now.
Solan silently stayed away from this noisy area and stepped back step by step. When the sound suddenly became much quieter, Toyota Badao with footprints on the front door had been waiting for him in the forest for a long time.
"Mai."
His target was the girl next to the car and the zombie who was lying on the ground and being fiddled with.
"Good evening, busy."
Mai Tooi squatted in front of the corpse. Her long, straight black hair was draped softly on her back, and a black windbreaker wrapped around her slender and thin body. A pair of black short-heeled leather boots were stepping on the damp and cool soil. She was lowering her head and observing the corpse carefully.
"Are there any posts..."
"I'm checking, please be quiet."
First, she was disliked by her current girlfriend, and then she was called by Mai. It seemed that she had become an idle person tonight. Solan smiled bitterly, but when she heard Arya's laughter on the engine cover, she glanced at her again.
Mai did not use a scalpel. She just used her index finger to gently stroke the surface of the body's skin, using the neatly trimmed edge of the nail as the contact surface, and the cold muscles separated. As of now, the dissection work has been in progress for a short time and an insignificant information has been obtained - this person did die yesterday night and then entered a transformation state.
The scene was silent like this, Mai was dissecting, Solan was drinking with his back against the car door, Arya sat cross-legged on the engine cover and looked at the sky, everyone was happy.
In the end, Mai spoke first: "Have you decided who should I push those cases in the mortar room?"
Solan drank the last little beer in one sip, pinched the can and said, "You have also dissected the target of the choice, the white zombie in the sewer. Fortunately, it has just been transformed and there is still a personal appearance. If no new case happens, it can be considered a matter of closing the case with it."
Mai nodded and said, "The abandoned corpse in Elliot Bay, the abandoned corpse in Union Lake Park, and even the two headless corpses. Apart from the first one with a clear real murderer, the only suspect you can find is that outsider who can create puppets. Although the cause of death in Union Lake is indeed a bit strange, if the other party personally eliminates the ordinary person who witnessed the corpse, the wounds are not unreasonable.
"call……"
The sound of trembling throat. Solan was about to nod to Mai, but at this moment, Arya, who had been looking at the sky, showed off her presence.
He looked at her and wanted to laugh: "Why, girl, you won't plan to tell me, you have your share here, right?"
Arya stopped talking after she finished gurgling and continued to look at the sky. She had to admit that the starry sky tonight was indeed beautiful.
"It's all small things. He hunts, or she hunts, or you and me hunts, it doesn't matter."
Mai actually defended Arya and said, "Look at this transformed body, Solan, Solan!"
With a last soft and hard call, Solan pinched his nose and came over. The dead body with his chest and abdomen was completely open, and it smelled bloody, but even if he was weak all night, he could not use the walking zombies as food.
"You can see it yourself." As Solan squatted down, Mai looked at him and said softly, with a slightly raised corner of her mouth: "Human body structure, I have made up for you. Now it's time to take the exam."
Solan blinked quickly: "Well... you gave me a lot of lessons."
Arya stopped looking at the sky, looked down at the man and woman at the foot of the car, curled her lips speechlessly, and then continued to look at the sky.
Ma Yi's anatomy was very thorough, leaving the internal organs of the corpse completely exposed, which made Ma Yi very rich in smell. In addition, the deceased was still transformed and his body still maintained its human nature, which made Solan, who was weak, really uncomfortable. He pinched his nose, closed his mouth, and swallowed in his throat. This look obviously made Ma Yi very happy and feel particularly comfortable.
"What did I see...heart, lung lobe, liver, stomach, ribs, gallbladder... Huh?"
After all, many old zombies had been cut open, and Solan immediately discovered an abnormality.
It’s not that there is a problem with a certain piece of internal organ, but that the entire body of the deceased can be seen everywhere.
