Part III. Chimera

 

Chapter 79 Signs of the stampede (1)

 

The Chimera which was created by Dr. Girgo as a variant of the Galaxy quickly spread among the Arabs living in Palestine. It brought about the same symptoms of fever and ennui regardless of age or sex. But a large number of serious cases occurred especially in women. Fortunately, there were very few fatalities.

 

It soon proved to be very serious problem. Anat, the second daughter of Shy-Rock conducted a cell test on a Palestinian girl, Lulu. She found an unbelievable fact. There were no eggs in her patient's ovaries. The female doctor hurriedly inspected other women infected with the virus, including adult ones. The results were the same.

 

It was obvious that what this fact meant. There was no doubt that Palestinians would lose the ability to reproduce their next generation. They would be extinct within one century. In addition, what would happen if not only Palestinians, but also other races, such as Jews, became infected? Although Palestinians and Jews were isolated in Israel, infection from Palestinians to Israelis was inevitable due to the narrowness of the country. That idea gave Anat a horrible shudder.

Her father Shy-Rock and Dr. Girgo, however, were optimistic. Girgo was absolutely certain that the Chimera, which he had created from the Galaxy through genetic manipulation, would have a special effect only on Palestinian women. And Shy-Rock, who was given the explanation from him, also believed it. They were fascinated by the special effects of the Chimera which made Palestinians lose their ability to reproduce.

 

The devil whispered to Shy-Rock.

<This frees us from the thorny Palestinian problem.>

<We are not murderers who will kill living Palestinians.>

<They will perish without any manipulation.>
