等郝醫生再次甦醒時,人已在直昇機的機艙裡,被固定在擔架上,一名軍方的護理員正在幫他調整點滴瓶。護理員發現郝醫生醒了,示意他別亂動,繼續躺著。219Please respect copyright.PENANAny93mwvHPV
219Please respect copyright.PENANAoKM0n8yid1
郝醫生轉頭環顧四周,發現阿雅人就躺在身旁,也和他一樣,被人固定在擔架上,陷入昏迷!機艙裡,同時還有其他病患,大家也都被固定在擔架上,靜靜地躺著。219Please respect copyright.PENANA62XPSkOEZA
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxt0Nmayrwy
郝醫生急問:「現在是什麼情況?我們怎麼了?」219Please respect copyright.PENANArjBMfSPxaU
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwS1zE3vJrj
由於機艙內的噪音太大,聽不清楚護理員再說些什麼,只能從他說話的嘴形試著去解讀唇語。護理員似乎在說:「別緊張……躺好……我們就快到了……」219Please respect copyright.PENANAW2zWcubcNq
219Please respect copyright.PENANArNCasqrQN4
不一會兒,郝醫生又昏了過去,當他再甦醒時,這回人已躺在手術台上,也是手腳被固定,動也不能動!219Please respect copyright.PENANAIEiyGuY9NZ
219Please respect copyright.PENANALa1XVq6fpo
郝醫生不明白自己為何會這樣醒醒睡睡,睡睡醒醒,但他卻發現自己雖然意識尚存,但已無法組織語言說話了!219Please respect copyright.PENANAyxxDRCjsp4
219Please respect copyright.PENANACgYA7QfQpB
一名穿著手術服,戴著手術帽、口罩的女醫生走到他身旁。問道:「『銘峰』,你認不認得我?」219Please respect copyright.PENANAfpUM4Ss5ry
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9wM6KmJbDR
郝醫生看了看女醫生的眼眸,對此人完全沒有映象。219Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ0kwLLeLf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAaUgGhFWp46
女醫生說:「我是你成大醫學院的老師,傅淑芬,傅教授,你不記得了嗎?」219Please respect copyright.PENANAcDl1gtP0qI
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHgPWdodWvr
由於郝醫生的記憶力正在快速衰退中,成大醫學院五個字還言猶在耳,但下一秒就忘記那是什麼地方了!219Please respect copyright.PENANAHH3xZCfWqM
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwdIKX4x52M
單教授湊了過來,看了看郝醫生後,感慨道:「開始失憶了,妳這學生怕是救不回了!」219Please respect copyright.PENANAknDNH9SAqB
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7LXkH0igzq
「至少……做點什麼吧……」於心不忍的傅教授接著說:「不如死馬當活馬醫,賭一把了!」219Please respect copyright.PENANA6xyFuX5qui
219Please respect copyright.PENANATub43t3ZMI
「家屬不知情也未授權同意的情況下,妳這樣做……是會有法律責任的唷!」單教授警告道。219Please respect copyright.PENANAvV5jGFLUWA
219Please respect copyright.PENANAKuktvcx0MU
「其他『樣本』我不敢說,但眼前這位是我的學生,我想我能作主!」傅教授說完,轉身拿出一劑針筒,裡頭裝得是她從食腦蟲排泄物裡提煉出來的萃取物!219Please respect copyright.PENANAXb770JqIm8
219Please respect copyright.PENANACFbdZhJ6o6
單教授瞇著眼看著那針筒裡的茶色液體,再勸道:「你這劑針打過那麼多老鼠,沒一隻能活下來,這劑再打下去,我估計也是一樣的結果!」219Please respect copyright.PENANArVjHvFTkNx
219Please respect copyright.PENANAlsAmBhtyVD
「反正不打,他也會死!」傅教授語重心長地接著說:「如果今天換我躺在那裡,橫豎都是死,身為醫生的我,也希望自己的死變得有點價值!哪怕是打一劑沒用的針,至少試錯一次,也能讓後人少走一步冤望路!」只見她慷慨激昂地說完,便一針往郝醫生的左上臂扎了進去!219Please respect copyright.PENANAWJkHlWdCLx
219Please respect copyright.PENANAu7hC7wD1mE
半小時後,郝醫生和之前被抓來實驗的小白鼠一樣,口吐白沫,全身抽搐!約末一分鐘後,心電圖發出「嗶──」的長音,郝醫生就這麼過世了!219Please respect copyright.PENANAF6iaqvlb2c
219Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ5P59sQcK
傅教授眼眶泛著淚,一一拔掉郝醫生身上的管線。低聲啜泣的說:「對不起,老師救不了你,對不起……」219Please respect copyright.PENANAKRaEEpsf5a
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxx475eaFKx
此情此景,單教授也是感同身受。生死之事早已見慣了的他,雖心有戚戚,但該走的SOP還是得走。他提醒道:「我現在要進行樣本銷毀程序,妳先出去休息吧,後續工作,我來處理就好。」219Please respect copyright.PENANA0aUUUUawJM
219Please respect copyright.PENANAkVlWT1r1gg
傅教授離開後,單教授在勞教授的協助下,兩人合力將郝醫生的頭給鋸下!再交由羅教授進行解剖。219Please respect copyright.PENANAIFHdVyyMAr
219Please respect copyright.PENANANLwgQzod7h
羅教授在杏仁體的位置取出一隻幼蟲階段的食腦蟲,而且還活著,並未因傅教授打過針劑而有任何影響!219Please respect copyright.PENANAAc3NyHOlEe
219Please respect copyright.PENANAN67c6jrc6Y
由於幼蟲還沒發育完全,尾管尚未入侵脊椎,所以此階段的郝醫生還處於「痴呆期」,並未變成活屍。219Please respect copyright.PENANA2IJzJ37DVy
219Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZFcv0AFxO
與郝醫生同架直昇機送來的另外五具樣本,沒有被注射傅教授的針劑,而是分別關進獨立觀察房裡觀察,其中也包括阿雅。219Please respect copyright.PENANAtQNk5rNBSH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAyKUitoFSXI
他們想觀察遭感染的活人,其「痴呆期」會持續多久,「爆怒期」又持續多久,以及「活屍化」後的行為與持續時間等等。219Please respect copyright.PENANAZATlFtM6Wv
219Please respect copyright.PENANA5NpSwkpB5V
被固定在病床上的阿雅,昏迷指數只剩3!此時的她,正因為食腦蟲釋出某種類似「內啡肽」(Endorphin)的物質,而陷入永無止境的夢裡。219Please respect copyright.PENANAXsHd6Ja6Kw
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUWXhE4JlOL
她夢見郝醫生和太太離婚,改向她求婚!兩人不久後舉辦婚禮,婚禮在阿里山部落的教堂舉行。219Please respect copyright.PENANAYvVBSrj19d
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwQuGlhNC6j
教堂裡外佈滿繽紛的彩色氣球,花園裡張燈結彩,前來祝福的賓客駱繹不絕!哥哥代過世的父親,挽著她的手,牽著她緩緩步入禮拜堂;在上帝、牧師及雙方親友們的見證下,完成婚禮!219Please respect copyright.PENANArJEXd0Paqm
219Please respect copyright.PENANAsdmoppkasK
郝醫生昨晚在成大醫院急診室取出的白色食腦蟲,也被送抵三峽,一直關在觀察箱裡。219Please respect copyright.PENANAg1GQyD1QRm
219Please respect copyright.PENANA0GOuPn7U6D
勞教授好奇地打開蓋子,觀察了遍。然後評道:「果然被王教授給說中了,會有新的顏色出現!」219Please respect copyright.PENANAnn7hpwGCyl
219Please respect copyright.PENANAiPWkw5V6wB
勞教授看這隻食腦蟲肚皮朝上,靜靜躺在箱子裡,一動不動,就大膽地拿竹籤戳牠!但任憑如何撥弄,都沒反應。最後勞教授沒再做任何處置,闔上蓋子後,就跑去忙其他事了。219Please respect copyright.PENANAUsGRo9Spoh
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxDOxdA9bJ9
特研小組除了王教授外,其他教授都不是昆蟲專家,沒有很懂昆蟲的習性,忽略了某些生物會靠「詐死」來騙過天敵這件事。過了一會兒,食腦蟲一個振翅翻身,然後頂開忘記上鎖的蓋子,並鑽了出來!219Please respect copyright.PENANAiKDjCW6ZkH
219Please respect copyright.PENANASrJPWBgZ65
兩小時後,實驗室警鈴乍響,是一級警報!史考特火速趕來三峽,以瞭解情況。219Please respect copyright.PENANAFoPakXt7Bz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAmb1IVlg1DZ
據中控室警衛通報,發現特研小組的四位教授全都昏迷在實驗室裡!透過監視器畫面回放,他們看到一隻白色食腦蟲輪番攻擊他們,教授們在實驗室裡慌張的四處逃竄!219Please respect copyright.PENANAPQw6ilutQS
219Please respect copyright.PENANAbjCR702UT3
單教授第一時間反鎖實驗室,羅教授舉起滅火器噴向食腦蟲,但攻擊無效!非但無效,還讓實驗室裡白茫茫一片,能見度趨近0,更別說要發現白色身軀的食腦蟲!219Please respect copyright.PENANAmKUYUdAUjr
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwgWEbfvrMZ
食腦蟲靠著特殊的感官技能找到他們,並一一插管、注卵,最後不知所蹤!219Please respect copyright.PENANA6IdwMdSGR5
219Please respect copyright.PENANARY8U0r6tIl
特研小組是當前地球上最瞭解食腦蟲的專家。可如今七人當中,有四人遭感染,三人失聯!219Please respect copyright.PENANAnKFe0d3Gqm
219Please respect copyright.PENANAKqbtRgBB53
史考特萬般無奈下,執起紅色話筒,用英語說道:「『巴斯通』(Bastogne)已淪陷,啟動『安特衛普』(Antwerpen)計畫!」(暗號:情況失控,啟動應急方案。)219Please respect copyright.PENANA0UWGrN9JRT
219Please respect copyright.PENANAT9HaEeaBaV
過了一會兒,一隊身著核生化防護服,頭戴防毒面具的快速反應小組,持槍闖進實驗室,把所有實驗數據、電腦、筆記全部搜刮帶走,並對四位昏迷中的教授行刑式爆頭!然後再對獨立病房裡的病患樣本腦袋,一一補槍!最後連動物樣本也不能放過,悉數銷毀!219Please respect copyright.PENANA3d2ks9agEW
219Please respect copyright.PENANAa50wquDmpZ
一小時後,三峽P4實驗室緊急關閉,全員撤離,化學兵緊急進場清消!
