A City-Wide Pandemic

Gao Peng had a hard time believing that this decrepit old man before him was only 32 years old. He looked as if a breeze could easily knock him down.

There was a picture of him before his illness in his medical records that showed the face of a gentle-looking bespectacled man. Judging by his happy face, Gao Peng figured that he must have come from a happy family.

He turned to the last patient's file. He let his hand hang in mid-air when his eyes fell on the patient's profile picture. "Is this... supposed to be the patient?"

Gao Peng couldn't believe that the thing in the picture was even human.

The man's body was hunched over, with his spine jutting out of his back. His sunken eyes had transformed into a pair of dark, empty pits. His toothless mouth was wide open. Gao Peng could almost hear the inhuman screams coming from the man's mouth.

He looked more like a deformed insect than an actual human being.
