"This, this medicine …"
Uncle Dan's voice was tinged with excitement. The expressions of He Feng, Lee Wen, and the rest changed as well.
On the culture medium in the petri dish, some areas had already formed clusters of bacterial colonies. In less than half an hour, they had already stabilized. The speed was so fast that it was astounding. However, there were also some areas where the medicinal powder had been added, where no bacterial colonies had formed.
This medicine had an inhibitory effect on the new strain of legionella bacteria! It had an inhibitory effect!
A ray of light pierced through the darkness. He Feng and the rest could not help but gasp in excitement. Even though they coughed violently, they seemed to have regained their strength.
"It's working, it's working, Doctor Gu, your medicine is working." He Feng said between coughs, "This medicine is going to save lives, it's going to save lives …"
Gu Jun's breathing quickened. His mind blanked out for a moment before many thoughts crossed his mind.
This pneumonia was definitely not hemoptysis or else the foreign world would not have been heading towards destruction …
The foreign civilization should have already grasped the characteristics of this bacteria …
What role did the Afterlife Cult play in the research and development of the bacteria? Did they provide any help?
Based on the time, the bacteria sample had just arrived at the research fleet. They would start the drug test and analysis soon. Time was of the essence. Gu Jun took out his phone and made a call. "Command central, the first drug test is working! Please start the molecular and structural analysis immediately! "
"Roger! Roger! " A loud cheer came from the command central. He could hear people cheering. Everyone was excited.
Now it was up to the research fleet. The sooner they could analyze the results, the sooner they could mass produce it.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Gu Jun thought to himself, 'This medicine is the thing that will make history, this is the dawn of a new era.'
However, he was not overwhelmed by excitement. In fact, he felt uneasy. With the current level of human science and technology, even the highest level of imitation could not guarantee that the molecular formula of each chemical could be analyzed 100%. In the face of this foreign medicine, how much could it be analyzed and how much purity could it be imitated?
Also, the resistance of the bacteria to this anti-inflammatory medicine was an unknown.
But now, there was a ray of hope.
Gu Jun had a total of 20 of these anti-inflammatory drugs. Now, 15 of them were with the research fleet. One was used in the experiment, so there were still 4 left. Recently, the system no longer gave physical medicine for normal missions. It only gave old pictures of mental corruption. That was probably a type of 'mental medicine'.
Four pills. Anti-inflammatory drugs usually had to be taken one to three times a day, one to two pills each time.
He did not know the usage and dosage of this medicine, but he inferred from his medical knowledge that these four anti-inflammatory drugs might only be enough for one patient for a day.
There were more than a thousand patients in this hospital. Moreover, some people's conditions were very serious. They might only be able to hold on for another half a day.
The first patient, Wang Guoxin, died around 34 hours later...
Gu Jun did not know how long it would take for the research fleet to produce results, but he knew that many of the patients here would not be able to hold on until then.
When he thought of this, his heart started to ache, but he tried his best to think calmly. "I need to go and see the patients who were the first to act up. I need to see if they will trigger any illusions … I need to see if there is anyone who is more important in this incident …"
This was not a thought that a doctor should have, it was not a good one. But he had to save those who could help them solve this plague and the organization behind it …
The plague could not be allowed to spread any further. There could not be any more patients.
Gu Jun pondered. He had He Feng lead Uncle Dan, Peacock and the rest to follow him. They left the lab and headed to the inpatient department. Along the way, they were still blocked by patients but this time, the journey was smoother because the patients' complexion was getting worse and the noise was getting weaker. Most of them were already weak.
Soon, they arrived at a quarantine room. He Feng coughed, "This patient, Shen Haoxuan, was infected by Wang Guoxin on the bus."
"Hmm." Gu Jun pushed open the door and walked in. The stench was blocked out by the protective suit, but he saw a young man lying on the bed in the middle of the room. The patient's garb was covered in blood, sputum, and vomit from decaying lungs. The young man's cyanotic face was also covered in blood and filth.
"Uncle Dan, save him!" Gu Jun screamed and rushed over.
Too many deaths were caused by suffocation due to vomit clogging the patient's respiratory tract.
He rushed over and flipped open Shen Haoxuan's closed eyes. They were a sea of murky white …
Gu Jun gritted his teeth and continued to clean up the vomit and perform CPR on the patient. However, after a while, the patient on the bed did not respond at all. Uncle Dan whispered, "Ah Jun, that's all. The patient has left …"
"Ah …" Gu Jun groaned like a trapped animal. Who could he blame? There was not enough medical staff here.
"Sigh." Uncle Dan's heart pained as well. Watching a young life pass away was always painful for a doctor.
This was not an old man in his seventies, he was not even a middle-aged man. He was an 18-year-old who had just started university, his life had not even begun.
Peacock and the rest were silent, the scene of the legendary bloody lung disease …
"26 hours." He Feng was stunned. "It has only been 26 hours since Shen Haoxuan was hospitalized."
A young man's immune system should be stronger but it was even faster than Wang Guoxin's 34 hours.
"The concentration of bacteria in the air is getting higher." He Feng thought of this possibility. "The patient's continuous breathing of polluted air has worsened his condition."
Gu Jun looked around. This was not a quarantine room but a normal sickroom. There was not even a ventilator.
"Come, let's go check on the other patients." Suppressing the panic in his heart, he headed out.
They looked around the sickrooms. Shen Haoxuan's parents were dead. The sickrooms were covered in blood and sputum. They were isolated at the same time as their son but based on the time of onset, they had died about 20 hours ago. Shen Haoxuan's friend, Liu Hui, was also dead. It had only been 27 hours since he died …
There were a few other patients who were infected on the bus, the bus driver, a middle-aged woman and a few young men and women, they were all dead.
Gu Jun moved on to the next sickroom, Doctor Huang Lin. She had been hospitalized for about 20 hours.
He knew Doctor Huang was also from Eastern State University, she was his senior.
There was no coughing coming from the sickroom. Their hearts sank as they stood in the corridor …
Opening the door, they saw Doctor Huang Lin collapsed on the sickbed. She was surrounded by blood and vomit. There were papers and pens that had fallen to the ground.
Her once pretty face was ashen and covered in filth. Her pupils were dilated and her reaction to light had disappeared. There was no pulse, no heartbeat.
Doctor Huang Lin was dead.
"Ah Jun." Uncle Dan shook his head. He Feng coughed with discomfort. Peacock and the rest helped to pull Gu Jun away.
Gu Jun walked away in a daze. He picked up the medical record from the ground and flipped through it. He saw pages after pages of suicide notes. "My symptoms are still worsening. If this continues to be the same as Gu Guoxin's condition, I will lose my sanity by tonight. Then I won't be able to write a will anymore so I have to do it now … "
Looking at the tears that had melted away the words, his eyes were burning. "Senior Sister, rest in peace." He mumbled.
