episode_0023
by fnovelpiaNot long after the biobot was created, Junho was one of the promising talents that people around him said were looking forward to the future.
How dare you say that professors are kind-hearted and know how to take care of patients, unlike kids these days?
Although the birth rate is currently increasing thanks to genetic engineering technology, it has even been evaluated that it could become a pillar in the future for Korea’s pediatric department, which was suffering from a serious low birth rate and was in decline.
That’s how much Jung Jun-ho valued the relationships of those around him, and was kind to his seniors. He was kind to his juniors and taught them his own mistakes as an example. He was a person that everyone wanted to become friends with.
His relationship with his classmate was also strong, and although Junho used the relationship to gain his own benefit, it was for everyone to benefit, not just for his own benefit, and because of that, he was also considered a motivation that was not hateful to his classmate.
He didn’t even know how to be jealous.
He knew very well that life is a marathon.
Sometimes there were people who were ahead of me, but when I saw people like that, I wanted to become friends with them.
Although it may seem like they are ahead in the eyes of others, they thought that they would eventually be able to catch up, and if so, they could become good rivals.
There was no way to neglect patients.
I keep in mind the child who is normal but complains of symptoms and constantly look through other case reports to find a way.
In this way, he gradually became recognized as a true doctor by those around him.
And then I became a little arrogant.
Before that disaster, he was confident that he would become a great person in the future.
Until humans melt before our eyes.
Humans are melting…
Could such a thing happen?
Could this be biochemical terrorism?
Junho approached the melted human, but was unable to do anything.
The human who has already melted is dead.
No matter how much a doctor he was, there was no way to bring a dead person back to this world.
I didn’t know what was going on, so I was blankly looking at the traces of what used to be a person.
“Aaaah!”
But people around him didn’t leave him alone.
The person melted again, and Junho reflexively looked at the place and ran again, but he had no choice but to stand still and hesitate.
And before he could do anything, it completely melted.
Now Junho couldn’t make normal decisions.
No, would that even help in the first place?
But even at that moment, Junho subconsciously found something in common with the victims.
gene.
All were people who had undergone genetic modification procedures.
To be precise, children who have just become adults.
“Sa, please save me… ! My… my hands…! iced coffee..! Argh… !”
The melting speed was slow this time.
Perhaps because the procedure was only minor, the operator’s unique appearance was not noticeable.
Thinking that maybe that had something to do with this situation, Junho gradually began to figure out how this situation worked.
I quickly wrapped my melting hand with a bandage, putting pressure on the melting upper part as if to stop the bleeding, but it was no use.
“It hurts… sooo… doctor… doctor…”
The patient’s complaint was desperate and desperate.
It seemed like she had a hard time enduring this pain.
Junho picked her up and rushed her to a nearby hospital.
There was no time to call an ambulance.
It will melt while you wait.
Of course, that won’t change once you get to the hospital.
However, Junho’s mind was filled with thoughts of having to be saved, and his reason was already paralyzed and he was unable to make normal decisions.
“Teacher…”
“When I arrive… wow… wow… I can buy it! Just a little bit.. please..!”
“Doctor…”
“ㄱ…ga…ㅁ..”
What was her flowed out of Junho’s body.
But he ran without noticing.
“You can buy it..! Just a little bit..!”
Junho thought.
My body felt so light today.
“Aaaah!”
Even though I was running while holding an adult woman, it felt so light that I even felt like I was not holding anything.
Hysterical strength.
It was a physical ability that exceeded the limits that humans exhibit when faced with extreme situations.
In a crisis situation, a large amount of adrenaline and lactic acid were secreted to increase strength and reaction speed several times higher than usual.
Anything more than that caused him to stop in place.
That can’t be possible.
He wasn’t very physically fit.
Even if he had such superhuman strength, he wouldn’t have the power to feel humans like paper.
I looked at my hands blankly.
It was a mixture of filth, blood, and flesh.
“This is a disaster.”
He muttered quietly.
It was a disaster that could not be solved by human power.
I sat down and looked blankly at the floor.
It was a liquid that had been human until just now.
The medical knowledge I had acquired so far was of no use in the current situation.
I’ve never heard of a case like this.
A human being can melt and collapse in an instant.
I even felt helpless in the face of a disaster that humans cannot solve.
Would it have been different if a professor had come instead of me?
I have learned to save people.
However, as of now, I couldn’t save even one of the children here.
Perhaps it was a lack of ability.
Maybe I should have studied harder.
If you gain more knowledge, your perspective will broaden and you may be able to figure out what you can do.
These meaningless thoughts dominated his mind.
“Aaaah!”
“Someone help me! My…my daughter…!”
“Fuck! Why should I die! Why me!”
People melt around me again.
He ran around hard.
To the older woman who was crying, holding on to her half-melted child.
There is also the man who runs around, distraught and melting, and gets blood all over the wall.
To the woman who was quietly melting down with her head on the floor.
There’s also the man who couldn’t bear this crazy situation and hit his head against the wall before melting, eventually breaking his head and causing brain fluid to flow.
Even for those who climb to the roof of a building and throw themselves to their death.
Baaa
Squeak thump
A car drives at high speed, crushes a person, and sends him into the wall.
People running away from the melting person run away, trampling on the person who has fallen to the ground.
Those who cannot bear the weight of so many people and fall are crushed into pieces of meat.
He commits suicide on the rooftop. He quietly melts. He throws himself into the river. The child dies. The young lady dies and the genetic modification operator dies. It melts quickly depending on the degree of manipulation. Sometimes the child melts. In the end, everyone melts. It cannot be saved.
“Ugh…Ugh… Eh… ”
“Woo…Woo…”
Now, it wasn’t treatment or anything, it was just swiping the children who were in a mess, crying with strange noises, with their hands.
As a result of that action, his body became covered with all kinds of secretions and blood, and his proud white gown became increasingly stained red to the point where its original color was unrecognizable.
It was that desperate.
But it was that desperate.
It was a situation where it was questionable whether it could be resolved with human capabilities, and Junho fell into a panic.
Even the children and young people who were still alive ran and clung to Junho, who was taking action as a doctor.
“Teacher… Please save me! I’m still too young to die… Teacher…”
Junho stroked the head of the child with brightly colored hair who was pulling his sleeve as hard as he could.
There was no way.
“If I die, my mother… What should I do with my mother who only looked at me? Mom… wow…”
I patted the back of the girl who was sitting awkwardly on the floor and wearing cat ears and crying.
Still, I wanted to give him some warmth before he died.
“Ugh…this…profit…”
I couldn’t even speak because I was in so much pain that I stopped the person crawling on the floor.
“Mom. I really loved you. I’m sorry for getting angry today. It wasn’t my true intention. You know that I love you so much, mother and daughter, right?”
[Miyoung? What are you talking about? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?]
“Mom! mom! love you! I love you so much!”
“Tell this to Dad too! I say I love you! I love you!!!”
When the cell phone fell from her melting hand and her arm melted, the bear-like girl who had been talking on the phone with her face buried in her head completely melted.
[hello? Miyoung? What does that mean? where are you?]
[hello? Miyoung? Miyoung!]
Junho quietly closed his eyes.
Weee-
It was a siren sound.
The loud and annoying siren sound pierces my ears like tinnitus.
Numerous police cars pull up near the accident car and open the doors.
There would have been no people.
I panicked and opened the car next to me.
There wouldn’t have been anyone there either!
“Hehe…Hehehehe…”
All of this seemed like a farce.
Ambulances also moved around here and there.
Doctors wearing white coats rushed to the streets and took away injured people or provided first aid on the spot.
“Hahahahaha!”
“Ahahahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy.
no.
This world is crazy.
What was crazy was this world.
*****
Not all of the practitioners died that day.
However, most of the first generation, called the golden generation, in which numerous fetuses underwent genetic modification procedures, melted down that day.
The melting time only varied depending on the degree of treatment, but in the end, they all died.
When the first generation treated died, the next generation melted a year or two later, and when that generation melted, the next generation simply died.
All the practitioners died like that.
Recovering the body was close to impossible.
So many people have melted and become liquid and mixed together. How can we fix it?
Even if it was put in a bottle and sent to the parents, it was difficult to even confirm that it was the real child’s body.
Even worse, because it rained that night, a catastrophe occurred, with most of the rainwater flowing into dirty drains and rivers.
The current atmosphere in the country had at least improved.
Meanwhile, biobots have increasingly taken over human jobs, and human doctors have become rare.
Times have changed.
That’s what happened after I received medication from a psychiatrist for a long time.
Now, even if he doesn’t have to work, he could live comfortably if he had a biobot sit in his place, but he didn’t do that.
I didn’t even know why.
As he lived like that, the memories he had buried in his heart resurfaced.
“What should I do?”
*****
licking
Of course, he was observing my condition, but for some reason, I tried to ignore the doctor who was closely following my movements with his perverted eyes.
The reason I applied to pediatrics… ?
No.
This kind of thinking is rude.
While I was looking away, I thought to myself as I pushed away with all my might the arm of the nurse who was trying to stick the syringe into my arm.
“It doesn’t hurt! It’ll be over soon! Oh my, our Yeji. If you just stay still like you did before, it will be over quickly!”
“I’ll give you another candy when it’s over! this way! I have to see you!”
“It doesn’t hurt, so what doesn’t hurt! Eight, eight…”
Thinking it was no big deal, I looked at the pointy tip of the syringe flashing towards me, and a rush of fear came over me, so I pushed it away without realizing it and started a fight, but the nurse grabbed my whole body from behind, preventing me from moving, and ended up drawing blood.
I knew very well that it was something I had to do, but I was resentful of the tingling pain and the feeling of being deceived.
“It’s been a while since something like this happened.”
“That’s right. Even the children who come occasionally no longer cry after seeing the injection.”
When I tried to listen quietly, I started screaming because it was a fabrication.
“I didn’t cry!”
“Yes. Our Yeji didn’t cry because she was brave!”
Why do you feel bad?
While the blood test was being done, I waited outside and was told by my guardian to come in alone, so I did something.
This is a pattern I’ve seen a lot of times.
I think I’ve seen something like this somewhere, where a guardian tells a person who is just about to die from a fatal illness not to be shocked.
Just as I was about to feel a little distraught, I saw the nurses holding me and putting me on the plane, and I thought to myself,
Seeing him trying so hard to comfort me, he was afraid that he might go inside and cause trouble, so he told me to stay here.
I had definitely heard that a child who was not cooperating with the pediatrician and was crying as hard as he could was a pain in the ass.
I was a little stung, so I calmly played with the nurses.
Ah, I didn’t make that much of a fuss…
