The news broadcast on the TV surprised Liu Zixuan.
He had thought that Tailflower disease would certainly spread, but he didn't expect it to spread this quickly, with already hundreds of people diagnosed!
However, what puzzled him was that in the vast Ghost Wood City, no one knew what this disease was called!
He couldn't help but question whether the doctors in the hospitals here were professionally trained!
Liu Ruyan frowned and said, "I heard this disease mostly appears in children and won, and it directly led to our Lingxiu Lingerie's business plumting today—all the employees are on edge!"
The lingerie store naturally caters to won, and since the disease easily infects won, they're all hiding at ho, not coming out to buy lingerie!
As for the staff, most are naturally won!
Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "Different tis call for different asures; business is not important now, let's close for a few days."
"Do you know what this disease is?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked.
"Tailflower." Liu Zixuan imdiately explained all about this disease to Liu Ruyan!
Liu Ruyan gasped, "It's so terrifying, with a death rate comparable to early-stage cancer!"
Liu Zixuan nodded, "I still have two unresolved questions. First, where is the source of the influenza virus? Influenza is often diated through certain channels, and according to dical records, it hasn't appeared in our Star Sea for nearly a hundred years!"
"Second, I've found a thod to treat it, but it's missing sothing crucial."
"The first question seems beyond our concern, but what's missing for the second?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Celestial Thunder!"
Liu Zixuan was also quite speechless; the Holy dical Scripture states that the thod requires the power of Celestial Thunder to ripen Bing Xian Wood, Shui Yihua, and Admiration Grass—these three dicines—then oral consumption of their juices and applying the burnt dregs to the body is what cures Tailflower disease!
Liu Zixuan can find these three dicines, although uncommon, they're all in the back mountains of Lingxiu Village. But Celestial Thunder isn't sothing you can easily obtain.
Despite it being sumr and often having thunderstorm weather, he couldn't just hold the dicine pot out to be struck by lightning!
Even if the dicine were to ripen, he'd be struck dead by the lightning!
Liu Ruyan imdiately frowned upon hearing this, "Celestial Thunder? What kind of thod is this!"
"I am equally confused. According to the dical book, once Tailflower disease enters the body, it quickly spreads the virus under the skin layer. Only the dicine treated by lightning can clean it. I think what they an is using the chemical substances ford after lightning strikes!"
It's known that lightning contains Luminous substances that, combined with certain substances in the air and human hair, create what people call 'ghost fire.' Liu Zixuan thought perhaps what they need from the lightning would be similar to that luminous substance!
But this natural occurrence can't be substituted with other dicines, and this left him troubled.
Liu Ruyan also frowned and fell silent, after a while she asked, "Is there no other way? Or perhaps sothing that can temporarily relieve it?"
"There are ways to ease it, but they're not very effective," Liu Zixuan said solemnly.
"Hopefully, the hospital can co up with so solutions."
Liu Zixuan snorted at this, "Can they really co up with any solution? They don't even know it's called Tailflower, so how could they possibly have a treatnt thod?"
"What can we do then?"
After all, everyone is kind-hearted. Neither Liu Ruyan nor Liu Zixuan has a mind for the nation and its people, but they don't wish for this influenza to break out in the city they live in.
Over ti, even though Liu Zixuan is by their side and Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yiyi won't get infected, those around them will be affected. By then, not only will Lingxiu Lingerie be unable to operate normally, but even living in this city will be problematic!
"How about this, you go back to the company, give the employees a holiday, close the store, and you and Yiyi co to stay with . With around, you won't get infected, and I'll think of a solution." Liu Zixuan suggested.
"Okay, then keep an eye on the TV, see if there's any progress!" Liu Ruyan said.
Seeing Liu Ruyan leave, Liu Zixuan sat back down.
Celestial Thunder?
Lightning strike?
These words kept lingering in Liu Zixuan's mind, making him struggle to find a corresponding solution...
...
anwhile, Ghost Wood City was engulfed in unprecedented panic.
Although the disease hadn't massively spread yet, everyone was afraid to go outside for fear of infection, knowing well that this disease could be fatal!
Over in the hospital, chaos reigned. With over a hundred new patients admitted, plus those previously hospitalized, the whole place had beco a quarantine zone, fearing the spread of influenza.
In the director's office, a chief physician looked at the elderly man before him and said, "Old Wei, we've tried the thod for treating smallpox, but it didn't work."
"How are the patients doing? Any worsening?" This Old Wei was certainly the elder who appeared during Liu Zixuan's dical duel with You Long.
As a leading figure in Ghost Wood City's dical community, naturally, he had to be on the front lines at this ti!
The chief physician sighed, "Not very optimistic, four patients have entered intensive care, one of whom had a cardiac arrest before and was barely stabilized with a pacemaker. Old Wei, this situation is not sustainable; influenza patients are piling up in the hospital, and other patients are also uneasy, fearing contamination!"
Old Wei frowned and muttered, "I've anticipated this issue, but this is a hospital, a place to treat patients. Pass on the notice: for patients not suffering from this influenza, consider their condition, discharge them early after a checkup for those who are nearly recovered, and open a quick-response channel—any influenza cases must be brought to our hospital imdiately!"
"Bring them over? Shouldn't we transfer them to other hospitals? We already have over a hundred here, including so infected doctors and nurses. This could escalate into a major incident!" said the chief physician reluctantly.
"Follow my instructions for now. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility. Keep an eye here; I'm going out!" Old Wei stood up and said.
"Where are you going?" the chief physician inquired.
"I'm going to seek his advice; perhaps he can offer us so help!" Old Wei sighed as he shook his head. At this mont, he was at a loss, hoping the person he's about to visit could offer a solution.
The chief physician watched Old Wei leave and couldn't help but mutter, "Him? Who is he?"
