Chapter 128 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 128...

Lin Wei considered this a trivial matter and forgot about it once she left A University.

Drug development is extremely difficult, especially since she is researching anti-tumor drugs. She has now cultivated a virus that can kill tumor cells, but this is just the beginning.

It also needs to evade rejection by the immune system and cannot attack normal cells. Ideally, once injected into the body, the virus should have a certain survival period, and it would be even better if it could disappear on its own after killing tumor cells. This would be both safe and ensure that it does not mutate within the body.

Meeting all of these conditions is no easy task.

Of course, Lin Wei had already considered this. If she couldn't develop a virus within this timeframe, she would at least develop one that could kill tumor cells. She could then gradually manage and resolve any subsequent symptoms. It was better than losing her life to a malignant tumor from the start, wasn't it?

After that, she went to the biology lab several more times.

Li Anrong had seen her several times inside, and felt even more certain. If she were really lying, she wouldn't have appeared so calmly. Besides, she had no reason to lie to her. So, a month later, when the petri dish did indeed cultivate what she wanted, she was overjoyed.

What she said was actually true; she wasn't lying.

But how did she know that the conditions needed to be carried out at sub-zero temperatures? This question lingered in her mind for a long time.

What she didn't know was that this was the closest they had ever been to each other on campus. Once Lin Wei left the school, they would hardly have any contact anymore.

Some people only need one platform to shine, and they are destined to be brilliant.

Finally, after about a month and a half, Lin Wei developed a virus that could evade the immune system's rejection. However, she did not show any joy when she saw it, because this virus attacked indiscriminately, killing both normal cells and tumor cells. It was not very targeted, and if it were used on patients, she really didn't know what the result would be.

"So how do we prevent normal cells from being damaged?" Lin Wei paused to think for a while, and it was because of this that she frowned in everything she did afterward. In the end, those two months were just too rushed. But she didn't regret it.

A youth without ambition is a wasted youth. Two months may seem like a tight schedule, but with some effort, it's not impossible.

However, before Lin Wei could figure out how to solve the problem, her alma mater, S City No. 1 High School, called to invite her to give a speech to the juniors taking the college entrance examination this year.

Although Lin Wei wanted to refuse, she remembered that she had taken money from the school and that there was no breakthrough in her research for the time being. Going out to relax would be good, so she finally agreed.

This invitation naturally included Zhang Mo, Fang Yihuai, and Gao Fuya. However, due to their research, Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai did not attend; they simply sent a message of their best wishes.

As we all know, whether it's mathematics or physics, when research reaches a critical juncture, it's common to lock yourself in a room and calculate tirelessly. Being able to find time to write a letter of blessing is already quite an achievement.

As for who read the two wishes aloud, it was Lin Wei and Gao Fuya, of course.

Their names are still hanging on the school wall, and it would be most fitting for them to read them aloud.

Even though almost two years have passed, they are still legends in the school.

After finishing their speeches, Lin Wei and Gao Fuya took a walk along the campus path at No. 1 Middle School.

"I didn't expect you to come. Isn't the hospital very busy?" This was the first time the two had met since they started university. Even Gao Fuya was surprised by her changes. Although her face was still the same, her aura was no longer that of her student days.

Calm and collected, with sharp eyes—that's the aura honed in the hospital. Someone who can speak on equal terms with the head of the department and guide students is no ordinary doctor; it's not impossible for them to exude a superior air.

Lin Wei downplayed this point well; with a smile, the aura vanished instantly, as if it were just her imagination.

"The hospital is quite busy, but I can still find some time." In particular, she even had the school reimburse her airfare.

Hearing this, Gao Fuya felt like she had lost out again. She had just felt that she had become a little unfamiliar, but now she felt familiar again.

"You're still the same, sometimes you can drive people crazy." I've never seen her wear pretty clothes or jewelry, she's always plain-looking, but when it comes to money, she's really stingy.

Lin Wei denied it when she heard this, "I'm just stopping unnecessary spending. I'll still spend money when I need to." She blinked innocently, since the school wouldn't miss her money anyway.

Just then, a voice came from not far away, "Don't move, there's a snake near your feet." A boy pointed anxiously at a girl's feet.

The girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

Lin Wei and Gao Fuya also thought it was a snake and were startled when the boy suddenly laughed and said, "Just kidding, you idiot." Then he was chased around by the girl.

"Aaaaaah, if I don't beat you up, I'll write my name backwards."

Logically speaking, this should have been a very ordinary thing, but Lin Wei stared at the branch that looked like a snake for a long time without moving her eyes.

If a twig can be mistaken for a snake, could it also make anti-tumor cells mistake it for normal cells?

Thinking about it this way, she came up with a word: disguise. But instead of disguising normal cells, she disguised them as anti-tumor cells, brainwashing them into believing that they were normal cells and could not attack their own kind.

The more Lin Wei thought about this idea, the more feasible it seemed, and her eyes lit up.

Various data points flashed through her mind, combining to form what she wanted.

Gao Fuya noticed that she had stopped walking and asked, "What's wrong?" What was she thinking?

However, Lin Wei quickly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said to her, "My research has made progress. I'm going to do the experiment now. I'll treat you to dinner next time we meet." After saying that, she ran off quickly, looking rushed and excited.

However, he was full of joy, which even Gao Fuya could see.

Gao Fuya watched her retreating figure and said, "She's really a busy person. I wonder what she's researching?" Her voice carried a hint of admiration.

With only half a month left, how could Lin Wei not be anxious? Although she had a preliminary idea, she still needed to conduct multiple experiments to finalize the plan. Wasting even a minute meant wasting ten hours, and she really couldn't afford to waste any more time.

On the way, she simply grabbed a piece of scrap paper and started making assumptions. Cells, molecules, gene chains, various combinations—the paper was covered with dense symbols. The person sitting next to her glanced at it, found it incomprehensible, looked again, and still didn't understand.

One thing is true: if you're not a professional, even if someone copies your work, you won't be able to copy it properly.

Lin Wei calculated how long the plane had been flying, and once she had a general idea of ​​the direction, she went directly into the biological simulation room to operate it.

The objective is accurate.

One advantage of this experiment is that it can speed up the results; otherwise, it would take a very long time to get the results, and she wouldn't have that much time to wait.

As it turned out, her approach was correct. Through disguise, she could make the anti-cancer virus mistake normal cells for its own kind, specifically targeting tumor cells. Seeing this result, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned. Although the basic anti-cancer drugs were finalized, there was still a problem: time.

Half a month is simply not enough time to develop this drug; it will take at least another month. So how can the virus cultivation time be accelerated? Lin Wei was stuck here.

One day, two days, three days passed, and she still couldn't come up with a solution. She could optimize the cultivation conditions, but that would only advance the timeline by a week at most. How could she possibly gain another week?

Should we hope that the German from country D won't come, rendering the medicine useless? But what if he does come?

Lin Wei wondered if the medication couldn't speed things up, but could it at least prolong the patient's life? At that moment, she thought of the potential drug that Chi Boyan was researching, wondering how far he had progressed in his research.

Because of this, she asked directly.

How's your medicine going?

In Country M, Chi Boyan looked at her question, then glanced at the first-generation drug he had just produced, and replied, "We have produced one dose, but we don't know how effective it is yet. Theoretically, it should be effective."

Lin Wei never expected that the medicine she hadn't taken seriously would become the key to whether or not it could save lives. Although he said he didn't know what the effects were, it was impossible for it to be completely useless.

Researchers have found that people often only say half of what they mean and hide the other half when they speak.

With the agreed deadline fast approaching, she simply took the potion, leaving its effectiveness to fate.

This is also a good opportunity to test the effects of the medicine on him.

And so, two months passed. Benson, clinging to his last breath, arrived in the Flower Country. Although Lin Wei was currently rotating through the internal medicine department of another hospital, the doctors and nurses there had told her about his arrival at the Second Hospital's neurosurgery department.

What can happen to a malignant tumor patient in two months? He looks like a skeleton. The last time Lin Wei saw him, he was still quite energetic, but now she couldn't recognize him at all.

In addition, he even brought several other patients with tumors and cancer, which she hadn't expected.

The only saving grace was that they weren't in the most critical situation yet and could hold on for a while longer, so she gave Pete Benson the potential potion first.

During treatment, she had the right to administer various medications to him, while other patients would temporarily undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Of course, seeing that Benson, who had been lifeless and on the verge of death, immediately regained his spirits after receiving a dose of medicine and was even able to eat several bowls of rice, the group had even more confidence in Lin Wei's medical skills.

Putting everything else aside, they visited many hospitals abroad, but none of them could provide them with a similar medication.

But why only give the chance to Benson?

Lin Wei explained, "Because you haven't reached that stage yet." Could she say there was only one dose of the drug? Of course not, that would only cause panic. However, if their situation truly became critical, then even if the virus wasn't fully cultured, she would have no choice but to use it first.

What she didn't know was that, seeing that the medication she received was effective, the group of people directly contacted their fellow patients and told them that there was a doctor in the country whose medical skills were truly effective.

"One dose of her medicine can instantly restore the spirits of a dying patient, and he even ate several bowls of rice. He seems to be perfectly normal these past few days." With Benson's permission, she even filmed his current condition and posted it online.

This was a huge temptation for people who hadn't eaten in a long time and were only surviving on intravenous nutrition. Putting everything else aside, even if they were to die, it wouldn't be bad to die with a full stomach. So they all went to apply for visas just to come to the country for treatment.

Even Lin Wei didn't expect this result. It can only be said that cancer is too terrifying. In order to live, a group of people can spare no expense, even if it means coming to a foreign country. But if they can live, what does it matter?

The neurosurgery department was the happiest of all, since they were the ones making the money. The more patients they had, the more resources they had, which increased their department's revenue.

As for whether he can be saved, it would be best if he could be saved, but if he can't, there's nothing we can do.

Ultimately, malignant tumors are a battle against death.
