Chapter 3 Frankenstein
"Swish!" Qin Lun lit the oil lamp in his hand and illuminated the small basement.
There are several long tables around the basement, filled with glassware, most of which are various beakers and rubber catheters. These are the only remaining medical research equipment for the Stan family. In addition to the few drugs that Wellington preserved in the medicine box, in this era, it can be said that these glassware is more expensive than this dilapidated building itself.
However, Qin Lun's gaze did not stay on these things. He did not understand the medical system of this world. These things were of no value to him. His gaze was soon attracted by the operating table placed in the middle of the basement.
A dead body was lying on the operating table. After seeing this dead body, Qin Lun sighed. He finally understood why the entire building had become an environment where humans could not survive.
The dead body has been dissected, the open belly has not been sewn yet, and the organs that have rotted and fermented into a ball of paste, flowing with dark green jelly-like substances. The entire basement is filled with a fishy smell, and it seems that Qin Lun has found the source of the poisonous gas in Xiaolou.
Qin Lun stopped hesitating and walked quickly to the corner of the basement, picked up Wellington's medicine box and a bottle of thin-necked reagent the size of a bucket, and immediately returned to the upper floor.
After snatching the medical box and reagent bottle out of the small building, Qin Lun took a deep breath, rushed into the small building again, and brought out several basic medical classics, a large wooden basin and a small suitcase.
There are several sets of changing clothes in the small suitcase. Those medical books can give Qin Lun a general understanding of the world's medical system. As for the reagent bottle, it is medical alcohol.
Qin Lun stripped his clothes again, leaving only his underwear, and put them in a large wooden basin along with the changing clothes in the small suitcase. Then he poured a bucket of water from the well in front of the small building, diluted some of the medical alcohol in the reagent bottle and poured them into the large wooden basin.
Frank did not ask about his master's strange behavior. After seeing Wellington's medical research, he could vaguely guess that this was an epidemic prevention measure. So he went to the back of the building to bring some chopped firewood, and set up a bonfire far from the wooden basin, and used wooden poles to set up a clothes drying rack.
Qin Lun opened the medicine box and wiped the various instruments in the medicine box with an alcohol cotton, while sinking his consciousness into the remaining memory of Wellington.
Wellington had been dead for three days and had incomplete memory. There were only some of the most profound things in his impression, which remained in his rotten mind. This medicine box and the last savings in the bedroom were several of them.
From memory, Qin Lun can learn that the world he is currently in is similar to an era between the late Middle Ages and modern times on Earth. By time period, it is probably from the 15th to the 18th century, and most of the scientific and technological culture levels are close to this stage.
This world already has modern scientific inventions such as glass, watches, looms, gunpowder, etc., and are in the budding period of Renaissance and capitalism. Although antibiotics have not been officially discovered in medicine, some skilled doctors have obtained antibiotic-like agents through plant extraction.
However, this kind of plant that can obtain antibiotics is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the extraction process is extremely complex. The value of plant antibiotics is more than ten times higher than that of gold. In Wellington's medicine box, there is a tube of violet-colored medicine that is antibiotics.
This medicine is called Wisteria Mixture. Currently, there are only less than 30 milliliters left in the test tube. In the previous treatment, Wellington did not use this medicine for those patients with the disease, and he was not even willing to use it himself. When he realized something was wrong, he had already fallen into a high fever and coma and lost his last chance to save his life.
In Wellington's view, this antibiotic is a panacea, but Qin Lun is not superstitious about the effect of this antibiotic. He has seen the tragic situation of the corpse in the operating room. He does not think that a small antibiotic can resist the dark green jelly substance. In his opinion, the power of that thing is comparable to a biological and chemical weapon, and it is a high-end biological and chemical weapon with a very short death time.
The only thing that made Qin Lun strange was that among these extremely normal memories, Wellington was mixed with some "unusually normal" memories. Wellington was sure that there was a kind of creature in this world that could not be explained by science, and he called them witches.
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Wellington believed that witches could use black magic, which could drive all kinds of magical creatures and hide in the sparsely populated forests, mountains and swamps.
After checking Wellington's memory, Qin Lun sank his mind into his first mission in another world. This mission is displayed in red font on the death list, which is very eye-catching.
The content of the mission is very simple: "Apostle No. 70053, your first mission in another world is to save Stephen Albert. The mission target is within 30 kilometers of your range, and the mission time is thirty natural days. The mission basic reward: a broken law crystal, additional reward: distributed according to the progress of the mission. The mission failure penalty: deduct thirty points of life soul."
It is indeed a very simple task! Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders, but it was a bit weird, and actually asked a murderer to save people!
"Switch off your clothes and use this to clean your hair and beard!"
Qin Lun put on the dry clothes again, took out several relatively wide sweatshirts, and handed them to Frank with a knife.
Since he has obtained Wellington's plot identity, he must make good use of it. During this epidemic, a doctor, even an unlicensed doctor, will be quite popular, and he will probably find clues to the mission goal soon.
"This... Master, I think it's good now. You don't need to cut your hair or beard!" Frank said with a dodge.
"If you want to do it, do it!" Qin Lun looked at the hunchbacked servant sternly. After a night of getting along, he was now a little familiar with Frank's temperament. This servant's personality is a bit inferior and autistic. No one can accept him except Stan's family.
After Wellington died, it was estimated that this hunchbacked ugly man would not get sick, and he would not be able to integrate into human society. He could only live alone in the wild until he died of old age or in the mouth of wild animals.
Qin Lun wanted to use Wellington's identity to go to several nearby towns to inquire about Stephen Albert's news. Naturally, he could not follow a savage behind him. Even if he was a little ugly, he would at least have a personal appearance.
However, when Frank cut his hair short with a knife and shaved his beard, Qin Lun's expression was a little weird. He now understood a little why Frank was unwilling to organize his appearance.
The hunchbacked servant had a bumpy face, from his cheeks to his chin, and his face was covered with green stubble. A pair of triangular eyes were big and small, with huge nostrils facing the sky. A big mouth was full of incomplete sharp yellow teeth, and it was even crooked.
It’s a weird thing to be so ugly! When Qin Lun thinks of Frank’s name and the surname of the Stan family, he feels even more awkward. Is this simply a different version of Frankenstein?
No wonder in Wellington's memory, Frank has always been unkempt and has never revealed his true face. With his appearance, it is even more unacceptable to clean it up than not.
Frank turned his head and did not look at Qin Lun in surprise. Wellington was not only his master, but also his brother who grew up with him. The strange gaze from his family made the hunchbacked ugly man full of frustration.
"Bang!" Qin Lun slapped Frank's head with an ear and scolded, "It's much more intimidating than I thought! Ugly guy, you will definitely scare those people in the town to death."
"Hehe!" Frank suddenly felt warm in his heart, and turned around and grinned embarrassedly.
"Wear a mask, we have to find a small town to stay overnight before dark!" Qin Lun took out a large cotton mask from the medicine box and handed it to Frank, asking him to wear it on his face, covering his scary appearance.
"Master, don't we live at home?" Frank asked strangely.
"You can't live at home anymore. It's full of viruses. It will kill people if you take a longer period of time!" Qin Lun shook his head, glanced at Frank, then turned around and walked towards the bonfire, picked up a burning firewood and handed it to the hunchbacked servant, "Go and burn it!"
"Burn?" Frank widened his eyes, big and small, and held the fire stick, but hesitated. Although the hunchbacked ugly man spent his time in the attic and woodshed since childhood, for him, Stan's small building was still his only home.
Qin Lun picked up a burning match again and threw it hard at the small building. Soon, the flames rose up everywhere in the Stan Building, and the faces of the master and servant seemed to be in a state of gloomy in the flames. Frank looked even more reluctant and stared at the small building with a fire.
"When we go to the town to make money, you will have another small building. I will find you a wife. I will guarantee it for the Stan family!" Qin Lun said with a smile for the first time.
"Woman? No one except the young master and the master will like to stay with a monster!" Frank said discouragedly.
"Frank, you are not ugly. Many people are uglier than you, but everyone just doesn't realize it!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed and said with a smile, "The appearance is not unchanging. Although my skills are not very good, I can still help you please! "
"As long as you can follow the young master, Frank will be content. You can help the young master take care of the young master in the future!" Frank grinned.
"By the way, Frank, do you know a man named Stephen Albert?" Qin Lun asked casually. He didn't expect Frank to give him any answer. The hunchbacked servant had never been to the town several times since he was a child. Apart from the corpses of Stan's family and the cemetery, he was afraid that he would not recognize a few normal people.
"Frank has never heard of Shihefen's people!" The hunchbacked ugly man shook his head indeed, but after frowning and thinking for a while, he actually gave Qin Lun another unexpected answer.
"However, Master Stan used to mention another person named Albert, Baron Thomas Albert!"
