The conditions of more and more patients had worsened . The symptoms of the illness were unbearably cruel . The victims would suffer from a scratchy throat, rashes all over their body, and loss of appetite .
The worst was the feverish fainting spell . They would drift in and out of consciousness, and some would never wake up . The hospital was hectic; every medical worker was busy saving lives .
After Xinghe's group put on the hazmat suits, they entered the quarantined area that housed all the victims .
When they entered, it felt like they were walking into a warzone . Nurses and doctors rushed from one end to another and the patients' painful wailings and moaning were a constant fixture . The only rest the doctors and nurses could afford were forty-winks leaning against the wall; some even directly slept on the floor . There was a heavy miasma of death and despair filling the area…
Xinghe's group felt something weighing heavily on their hearts as they their surroundings all in . They really questioned the humanity of the culprit who had created this hell on Earth . When they'd used the same method at the orphanage, it had been to save the children . However, this tragedy had no silver lining to it .
AdvertisementCurrently, at least a hundred people had died, and if the hospital still could not come up with the cure, everyone there would die…
However, the research for the cure had stagnated . Even Lu Qi felt despair pressing down on him . He walked out of a sickbay and slumped in defeat on a hospital stool . He rejected one of the nurses offer to massage his shoulders .
Then, he turned to see Xinghe's group walking toward him . His face only paled even more because Mubai's condition had worsened . Furthermore, he was barely keeping the President alive; he could pass away at any minute . Lu Qi felt like he had failed as a doctor .
When Xinghe's group got near, he sighed in anguish . "I am sorry, but it is not looking good for Mubai . I have tried everything I can, but the most I can do is prolong the inevitable, and I am not sure even that's a good thing, considering it only adds to the patient's torment . "
"You don't need to apologize to me, and everything is going to come to an end soon," Xinghe said suddenly .
Lu Qi was startled and raised his head to look at her with confusion .
Xinghe passed him a USB drive and said, "If I am not mistaken, inside here will be the cure for this virus . I will leave the rest to you . "
"What‽" Lu Qi sprang up in a hurry, his eyes widening with disbelief . "You have found a method to create the cure?"
"Yes, the method is all inside here . Unfortunately, I am not able to understand it, but it is incredibly detailed . I am sure you will be able to do what I am unable to," Xinghe said with confidence .
Lu Qi said with apparent excitement, "Where did you find this?"
"I will tell you later, go make the cure first . "
"Okay!" Lu Qi accepted the USB drive without hesitation . He trusted Xinghe fully . If she said the USB drive contained the cure, then the USB drive contained the cure . Lu Qi practically flew to the research lab .
Xinghe's group knew they could not stay there for too long and left soon after . Even though she wanted to go visit Mubai, other than qualified doctors, no one was allowed to go into the sickbays .
