The origin of the plague was traced back to Shanghe Village, so by evening, many renowned dostic bacteriologists were dispatched to Shanghe Village.
Liu Hun hadn’t expected that among those who ca, there was the director of the Provincial City’s First People’s Hospital and Liu Qingqing.
"Hun, this ti the higher-ups have sent us here. I suggest you lead the plague research," the director said with a solemn face to Liu Hun in a temporary research lab set up in Shanghe Village.
Liu Hun did not refuse the director’s proposal. He had spent the afternoon researching, making him far more familiar with this plague compared to everyone else. If soone else were to lead, it might waste so ti.
Now, ti is life. The more ti wasted, the more people will die.
"How are things in other places now?" Liu Hun, having spent the day in Shanghe Village, wasn’t very clear about the situation elsewhere.
"The entire Fenglin County is now locked down; entry is allowed but exit is not. The speed at which the plague is spreading is too fast, and Fenglin County is a densely populated area, so..." The director didn’t continue, but Liu Hun realized the severity and urgency of the situation.
"Does this an that if we can’t tily develop a vaccine, the entire Fenglin County might be abandoned?" Liu Hun chuckled bitterly, his words filled with helplessness.
No one wants such a thing to happen. Natural disasters are sothing Liu Hun cannot predict.
"Given the urgency, let briefly explain the situation I studied today. The plague was carried by rats. I preliminarily estimate these rats gathered after the earthquake occurred. As for what virus they carry, I currently have no clue. Moreover, the blood samples from the infected show no difference from normal." Liu Hun took a deep breath and spoke truthfully.
How proficient Liu Hun’s dical skills are is common knowledge. Even if they study for half the day, they still won’t be able to find the problem.
"If there is no change in the blood, could it be a skin virus infection?" the director asked Liu Hun gravely.
"I think you’ll understand when you see it yourself." Liu Hun shook his head, then led everyone towards a room inside.
As soon as Liu Hun stepped into the room, everyone saw a corpse lying there with its entire body ulcerated and decomposed.
"Doctor Liu... Liu, shouldn’t we put on protective gear?" One of the doctors reminded Liu Hun when he saw him walking straight inside.
"This isn’t a professional hospital, so naturally, we don’t have those things. There are masks beside you, and now that Fenglin County is sealed, if you can’t create a vaccine, do you think you can leave Fenglin County?" Liu Hun said calmly.
Although Liu Hun’s words were honest, the cruel reality made everyone’s hearts shudder.
If they fail to develop the vaccine, they won’t be able to leave Fenglin County either.
Facing such facts, everyone had no choice but to plunge into research. After leading them into the room, Liu Hun’s team started analyzing blood samples and studying the corpse.
Even after spending an entire night, they still hadn’t found any solution.
They didn’t even know what the virus was, let alone developing a serum.
"Let’s have breakfast first. After eating, we’ll continue with the work. After all, humans need iron and als are steel; skipping a al makes you hungry," Around 8 in the morning, when everyone was slightly dejected, Chu ngyao appeared at the door with so porridge, smiling at them.
"ngyao, what are you doing?" Seeing Chu ngyao walking into the room, Liu Hun couldn’t help but shout.
"I’m here to bring you breakfast." Chu ngyao, rebuked by Liu Hun for the first ti, paused for a mont, then resud smiling to explain.
"Don’t you know this is the Forbidden Land, and outsiders aren’t allowed inside? Get out!" When Liu Hun saw Chu ngyao still trying to step in, he imdiately grabbed her and urged her to leave the room.
But Chu ngyao ignored Liu Hun, placing the porridge on the table before stopping.
"Hun, I know you’re worried about , but I’m now the village chief of Shanghe Village. You’re all here risking your lives researching a vaccine. Although I don’t understand these things, I also want to contribute my efforts," Chu ngyao said seriously to Liu Hun.
"Get out!" Liu Hun’s face darkened slightly, shouting at Chu ngyao.
Before Chu ngyao could respond, Liu Hun went straight to the door and ordered Xiao Wu outside, "Take her away from here, and without my instructions, no one is allowed to enter, or else kill without rcy!"
Hearing Liu Hun’s chilly tone, Xiao Wu couldn’t help but shiver. It was his first ti seeing Liu Hun so furious.
But as a subordinate, he could only obey Liu Hun’s orders.
"From this mont, none of you are allowed to leave this room until the vaccine is developed!" After taking care of these matters, Liu Hun turned around and spoke to everyone solemnly.
Everyone understood Liu Hun’s intention, so they said nothing more.
Through three days and nights, everyone barely rested but still had not developed a vaccine.
Although this plague was confined to Fenglin County, Liu Hun’s reputation in the country was almost that of the Divine Doctor.
Even with Liu Hun leading the research team, three days passed without any progress.
Online, criticism was rampant. So even said Liu Hun’s previous achievents were re falsifications just to make money.
Now that the company is gone, facing this plague, everything has been laid bare.
The dostic internet users are like this, but Fenglin County is even more radical. In three days, the population of Fenglin County plumted from over one million to just over seven hundred thousand, aning that in just three days, hundreds of thousands died in this plague.
Everyone in Fenglin County put the bla entirely on Liu Hun, saying Liu Hun was useless, and if it weren’t for his efforts to develop Fenglin County, those rats wouldn’t have appeared, and such a disaster wouldn’t have happened in the end.
"Xiao Wu, do you have a cigarette?" Liu Hun ca to the door from the room, his eyes bloodshot, and asked Xiao Wu abruptly.
"Yes." As soon as Xiao Wu heard Liu Hun’s words, he imdiately hid his phone behind his back, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun never smoked, but with no progress in three days, he was feeling restless and anxious, so he wanted to relieve so pressure.
"What are you hiding?"
"Noth... nothing... Fei Ge."
"Hand it over for to see!" Liu Hun’s tone was commanding.
Faced with this, Xiao Wu was rather helpless and slowly handed the phone to Liu Hun.
After glancing at the phone briefly, Liu Hun’s expression imdiately turned quite unpleasant.
For the past three days, he had been working with everyone to research the plague and hadn’t paid much attention to these things. But now, looking at the phone, Liu Hun finally understood how people were perceiving him.
"Fine, fine, fine, I’ve been working day and night here, and what I get in return is a reputation like this. If that’s the case, I’m done, do whatever you please!" Liu Hun said, smashing the phone hard on the ground.
Liu Hun is ultimately just a human being, with the sa emotions and desires as anyone else.
Faced with such misunderstanding, he indeed felt a bit heartbroken.
"Hun, don’t be upset, we all see your efforts in our hearts, this isn’t your fault." The director, hearing Liu Hun’s angry scolding at the door, also took out his phone to glance at the news reports, quickly ca out to comfort Liu Hun.
For three days, many of them took turns to rest, but Liu Hun had never taken a break, and everyone noticed that.
However, in the end, Liu Hun still bore such a harsh reputation, and this was indeed too unfair for him.
"Boss, your wife she..." Just as Liu Hun was about to say sothing, Xu Shimin suddenly ca to him, his face a bit pale, and spoke to Liu Hun.
"What happened to ngyao?" Seeing Xu Shimin in this state, Liu Hun’s expression suddenly turned a bit unpleasant, as if he had foreseen sothing.
"You should go and see for yourself." There was a hint of bitterness in Xu Shimin’s voice.
Without a word, Liu Hun strode out of the room and headed towards Chu ngyao’s house.
The others looked at each other but still did not speak ill of Liu Hun.
Although Chu ngyao was scolded by Liu Hun three days ago, she still brought als for everyone every day afterwards.
Everyone noticed this and felt sowhat moved by it.
They just didn’t expect that now even Chu ngyao...
Arriving at Chu ngyao’s house, Liu Hun saw her lying in bed, her body gradually beginning to fester, and even her once delicate face was now pitted with sores.
"When did this happen?!" Liu Hun asked Xu Shimin behind him, his voice cold.
"About three hours ago. At that ti, I didn’t pay much attention because sister-in-law was just a bit pale, thinking she was just unwell. It was when I ca to check on her just now that I discovered this..." Xu Shimin’s face was full of guilt.
If he had inford Liu Hun earlier about this, perhaps it wouldn’t have turned out this way.
"Stay outside, don’t co in, and seal the area!" After instructing Xu Shimin, Liu Hun imdiately headed towards the room.
"Boss, but you..." Xu Shimin saw Liu Hun disregarding safety, stepping directly into the room, and couldn’t help feeling worried.
"Do as I say!" Liu Hun’s words left no room for doubt.
"Hun, I’m sorry, I might not be able to stay by your side in the future..." As soon as Liu Hun approached Chu ngyao, she opened her eyes, her voice weak, and spoke to Liu Hun slowly.
Liu Hun looked at the faint smile on Chu ngyao’s face, gritted his teeth, and said to her, "ngyao, no matter what, I won’t let you die!"
"Hun, I know how hard you’ve worked these past days. No matter what others say, you must persist, not just for but for all the villagers. Sotis, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, even if I leave this world, I still don’t want you to give up because of ." Chu ngyao looked at Liu Hun and spoke seriously.
Looking at Chu ngyao, Liu Hun gently closed his eyes, opened them again after a mont, the bloodshot double-edged gaze set, gritting his teeth, "I don’t care what others think of , but you absolutely cannot die!"
