Chapter 521 Qin Yuan is Critically Ill
"fever!?"
These two words, at this moment, made them feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
“Miss Wen Ni, if I really have contracted the coronavirus ∑-9330, then I’m really unlucky. I haven’t even left the lab for more than half a month…” Qin Yuan’s smile turned bitter. “I know I’m unlucky, I’ve been unlucky since I was a child, but it can’t be this unlucky, can it?”
Coronavirus ∑-9330 virus.
It was the name that Wen Ni defined for the main virus in this outbreak after she researched the virus sequence.
“It’s not so much about whether you go out or not. It’s probably because the virus concentration in the environment is too high, or it could be airborne transmission.” Wen Ni calmly finished her analysis and then turned to comfort him, “In any case, even if you are infected, you don’t need to worry too much. In the past two weeks, we’ve come into contact with so many patients. There are basic treatment plans available, and not everyone who is infected will necessarily develop severe illness!”
"I hope so..."
Qin Yuanren was completely numb.
Hurried footsteps could be heard outside the laboratory door.
Other medical staff rushed over after receiving the news!
"The wards in the medical building are all full, and it's still uncertain whether Qin Yuan is infected. To avoid cross-infection with other patients, let him stay on the second floor for now."
"Let's set up a temporary isolation room next to the lab first, and then we'll move some equipment over there later!"
"We'll develop a specific treatment plan once the blood test results are in!"
"good."
After making this decision, they transferred Qin Yuan as quickly as possible, placing him in the isolation room next to Wen Ni's, and immediately disinfected Wen Ni's experimental research room.
Once everything was over, the laboratory finally returned to silence.
This time, in the deathly silent laboratory, only Wen Ni remained alone...
"Dr. Li."
I know what you're trying to say.
The conversation was transmitted through a speaker on the laboratory wall, and Wen Ni could clearly hear Li Shiyan's voice inside the laboratory.
"Don't worry, I'll let you know the results of Qin Yuan's test as soon as possible!"
Thank you.
End the conversation briefly.
Wen Ni turned around, facing the empty room alone.
[Ms. Wen Ni, should this sample be placed here?]
[Ms. Wen Ni, I've already disinfected all of these. I'm getting better and better at this job. When I get back, maybe I should consider studying medicine?]
[Ms. Wen Ni, I've finished organizing the experimental data. Shall we take a break?]
Qin Yuan's shadow can be seen in every corner.
She used to complain about his chatter, but now...
She still doesn't know the specific situation of Lu Jinye and Balun. Since they sent Qin Yuan to her side, she absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to Qin Yuan.
All her emotions were thrown to the back of her mind at that moment.
In her eyes and heart, there was only the unwavering determination to develop a cure!
Without a word, he turned his head and plunged back into the endless experiments.
"Sister, Brother Lu's condition is improving day by day. As for when he will fully wake up, it's just a matter of time. You don't need to worry!"
"Sister, I found out about Baron that you asked me to ask. Baron developed a secondary infection after the amputation and had a second surgery a few days ago. He is currently in the intensive care unit, but fortunately, he has a strong mental fortitude and his overall condition is stabilizing."
"Sister, the epidemic has spread rapidly, affecting almost the entire country. Hong Kong is still the worst-hit area and remains under lockdown. Sister, how's your research going?"
These days, Wen Ni receives WeChat messages from Xiao Cheng every day, and each message is a little comfort to her!
Before Wen Ni could reply, they heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the corridor.
Through the semi-transparent glass door, you could see the direction they were heading—the isolation room where Qin Yuan was!
"Dr. Li, Dr. Li! What happened?"
When Wen Ni saw Li Shiyan running up from downstairs, she immediately turned on her phone and called out to him.
"Qin Yuan's condition has deteriorated rapidly; it's multiple organ failure caused by an acute viral infection!" Li Shiyan said gravely. "We rushed here as soon as we received the news and are preparing to provide targeted treatment!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this devastating news, Wen Ni's fingertips trembled.
Instantaneous tinnitus.
She froze, turning her head to look at a sample of experimental drugs that she had just sealed away...
In the isolation room at the end of the second-floor corridor
The four walls were stark white, and Qin Yuan lay alone on the only hospital bed, her body covered in tubes.
Qin Yuan's eyes were half open, but his eyeballs didn't move at all, like a lifeless doll, mechanically letting the medical staff lift and lower him!
Traces of blood and fluid seeped from his mouth and nose.
No matter how fast the medical staff acted, they couldn't race against death. They couldn't stop a life from slipping away...
"We've given them all the potent medications they could, and we've been trying everything to save them, but the coronavirus is still damaging their cells."
"Destruction and treatment go hand in hand, but the rate of cell regeneration can't keep up with the rate of damage. This will only create a vicious cycle, and in the end, he will suffer the same repeated organ failure as other patients, exhausting his last drop of energy..."
They've seen too many cases like this in recent days; no matter how much effort they put in, the outcome is always the same.
"Call the CDC's car. If that doesn't work, we'll have to take him to the hospital and see if they can do anything else."
"I called the CDC's vehicle a long time ago, but there are too many people falling ill in the city, and we can't dispatch any vehicles or personnel right now!"
"What can we do then? We can't just wait like this."
"Or, should we send a car to take him there?"
They were discussing the matter frantically when Qin Yuan, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly sat up and vomited a mouthful of blood!
"No, we only have private cars here."
"His physical condition is such that he can't withstand any more strain. Without the equipment in the ambulance, he probably wouldn't have made it to the hospital!"
"Moreover, given the current state of medical care, even if we get him to the hospital, we might not be able to allocate resources... to save him..."
The volume of the voice was out of control due to anxiety.
Wen Ni, who was standing outside the door, heard it all clearly.
She took a deep breath before following Dr. Li Shiyan and pushing open the door to the isolation room.
What came into view next stung her eyes!
Surrounded by medical staff, on the hospital bed was Qin Yuan, who had been full of energy just two days ago.
In just a few days, he was so weakened by his illness that his face was deathly pale and he had lost all his vitality; he had also lost a lot of weight...
"Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan..."
Wen Ni stepped forward and tightly grasped Qin Yuan's hand through her protective suit and gloves, again and again, trying to awaken his fading consciousness!
But Qin Yuan didn't even have the strength to lift her eyelids; she could only twitch her fingertips slightly as a response to Wen Ni's call.
"How did she get out of the lab?" The one who spoke was Xing Chao, the middle-aged doctor he had met once before on the first floor.
Xing Chao stared at Wen Ni's back and raised his voice, "The laboratory is sterile. If you come out rashly and accidentally get infected with the virus, who will do the subsequent experiments? Even if you are wearing protective clothing, you are still at risk of infection because you are so close to infected people!"
