Chapter 517 Learning about the car accident
“It’s okay if I can’t get in touch with the outside world. I’ve already sent a message to Jiang Chen in advance, telling him that if I don’t contact him in the next few days, he should tell Lu Jinye and Hua Zhuo that I’ve gone to participate in experimental research, and that they shouldn’t worry.”
"Miss Wen Ni is so thoughtful!" Qin Yuan nodded in relief. "It seems you had planned to stay and conduct research all along; you made all the arrangements and preparations well in advance!"
“This is my duty, I can’t avoid it, so I have to think about it in advance.” Wen Ni glanced at him indifferently. “Don’t just stand there, pack your things.”
"Alright!"
With the arrival of the first blood sample, Wen Ni and Qin Yuan officially began their research, living and working in the laboratory day and night.
"The experiment is in its third day."
"It has been confirmed that this strain is a combination of dengue fever and scarlet fever, and it also contains an unknown small molecule virus, suspected to be a coronavirus. The reason why other doctors involved in the research did not discover its composition earlier is because it is extremely elusive. It requires the use of the Small Molecule-Induced Differentiation Technique to collect samples at different stages over 24 hours. In short, if any link in the process goes wrong, the strain may not be able to differentiate completely!"
After Wen Ni finished speaking this long string of words.
Sitting in front of the stand-alone computer, Qin Yuan entered the experimental records into text without missing a single word.
“This strain has obvious signs of human intervention; I can confirm with 100% certainty that it is not a natural product. The reason it spread so quickly is that someone took advantage of the large crowds at the China Business University Spring Festival Travel Rush to poison it!” Wen Ni carefully collected the sample, her expression serious. “Write down exactly what I just said. Call Chen Rong and have him send someone to collect it personally. Be sure to report it promptly.”
"Great!" Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after making the call. "Finally, there's progress. It's all thanks to Miss Wen Ni. Those people spent a week researching and still couldn't figure out the composition of the strain, but you solved it in one go! If Dean Feng finds out, he'll probably be furious. He doesn't have a single capable person under him."
"They're all trying to control the spread of the epidemic, there's no need to compare them." Wen Ni didn't look up, still turning the microscope.
"Only Miss Wen Ni is so open-minded and doesn't hold it against them!" Qin Yuan stretched, a bit of life returning to her sleepy eyes. "Now that we've obtained the initial strain and know its composition, doesn't that mean there's hope for the research of a special medicine?"
"It's not as simple as you think." Wen Ni frowned, shattering Qin Yuan's illusion. "With the three original viruses fused together, if the medication is not used carefully, it will cause the human body to collapse even faster, and you'll die even faster by robbing Peter to pay Paul."
"ah……"
After hearing Wen Ni's words, Qin Yuan became dejected again. "Then when can we get out?"
"I need to think about it carefully." For once, Wen Ni was also at a loss.
"All right."
Qin Yuan stood up and stretched his limbs. Suddenly, through the upper part of the transparent glass, he saw chaos in the lobby on the first floor. Many medical staff rushed over and began to treat two patients lying on the ground!
The blood fell onto the marble floor tiles, stinging the eyes.
"Holy crap? Miss Wen Ni!"
Qin Yuan stood there watching for a while, then suddenly shouted.
"There are two people outside who are being rescued..."
“People are being rescued every day, what’s so strange about that?” Wen Ni didn’t look up.
"No, you know these two people!" Qin Yuan's expression stiffened. "They're your roommate Ma Weiwei, and your classmate Mu Yang!"
"..."
Wen Ni paused, her hand holding the glass slide.
A fleeting tremor crossed her eyes, and her lips pressed into a straight line.
She didn't even glance outside, but calmly picked up another instrument and said, "Stop looking, come and help."
"But……"
"What's the use of taking a few more glances?" Wen Ni interrupted Qin Yuan coldly. "Dr. Li and the others will do everything they can to save them. The only thing we can do now is to develop an effective drug as soon as possible to prevent more people from dying!"
"yes……"
Qin Yuan clenched his fists, fell silent, and continued to help.
The atmosphere in the laboratory was heavy and silent.
"The experiment is in its seventh day."
"We are considering using Tranexamic Acid, Benzylpenicillin G, Remdesivir, and symptomatic treatment including but not limited to acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, etc. However, the ratio must be strictly adhered to 3:1:1. Any overdose may cause problems with blood clotting in the patient. This plan is for reference only."
A series of texts were typed back into the computer.
Qin Yuan slammed his hand on the table!
"Holy crap, we have a signal!"
Having spent the last few days in the lab without leaving, working day and night, Qin Yuan's hair was a mess, his beard unshaven, and he looked like a wild man.
"There's a signal?" Wen Ni raised her eyelids, but her expression became even more serious. "This is not a good thing."
This means that the outbreak in the port city can no longer be concealed, and secondary infections have even occurred throughout the country!
"I quickly called Baron to let him know I'm safe," Qin Yuan said, pulling out her phone, which she hadn't touched for several days.
Wen Ni hesitated for a second, then took out her phone, looked at the three words "Lu Jinye" at the top of the contact list, and dialed the number.
No one answered.
Why isn't Barron answering the phone?
Qin Yuan muttered something that made Wen Ni feel uneasy.
Ten days ago, she called Lu Jinye but no one answered. In the end, Bei Tuo told her that Lu Jinye was sleeping. She felt strange, but she was preoccupied with school matters and the signal blockade made her forget about it.
Now that I think about it, it seems even stranger!
She then dialed Xiaocheng's number.
"Xiao Cheng?"
"Sis! You finally called me!" Wen Cheng's voice was almost crying with excitement on the other end of the phone.
"I'm fine, how are you?"
“The whole country is under epidemic control now, but I’m fine right now.” Xiao Cheng’s voice trembled violently. “When Hua Zhuo told me you were going to stay in Hong Kong to do virus research, you have no idea how scared I was! Hong Kong is still under lockdown, and we can’t get in at all. Hua Zhuo can only contact Jiang Chen every day to make sure you’ve been in the lab building doing experiments and haven’t come out before we feel a little relieved. Sister, you absolutely can’t get hurt. Even if you don’t care about us, you have to think about Mr. Lu. He did it for you…”
Xiao Cheng paused, hearing the hissing and crackling sounds from the other end of the phone, along with Hua Zhuo's voice, and didn't continue.
"What happened to Lu Jinye?" Wen Ni slowly clenched her fist over her phone, her palms sweating. "What happened to him? Why can't I contact him? And Baron isn't answering his phone either."
“He…” Wen Cheng’s voice drifted away.
Tell me, Xiaocheng!
"Sister... Mr. Lu was going to Hong Kong to see you a few days ago, but he was in a car accident before he even left the city. Now... he's still in the intensive care unit and hasn't woken up. Barron's arm was severely broken... his left forearm was amputated..."
"What!?"
Wen Ni's vision went black for a moment, but she quickly reached out and pressed her hand on the table to steady herself. Her lips trembled uncontrollably. "Lu Jinye... is he out of danger now?"
"Well... the most dangerous time has passed, but I don't know... when she'll wake up." Xiao Cheng on the other end of the phone was already sobbing uncontrollably.
“Where’s Baron?” Wen Ni asked.
"Barron is alive, but... he's missing half an arm."
"I understand, Xiao Cheng." Wen Ni slowly closed her eyes, trying not to let the tears fall, and kept her voice calm. "You and Hua Zhuo take good care of them for me."
"Sis, you must be careful!"
"Um."
Hang up the phone.
Scenes flashed before her eyes, and the sharp pain in her heart made it hard for Wen Ni to breathe.
But she has no time to be sad now!
Forcing her eyes open, which were red and swollen, she saw Qin Yuan standing in front of her with a forced smile on his lips.
"Miss Wen Ni, what happened to Master Lu and Dog Balun?" Qin Yuan asked, a tear sliding down her cheek.
It seems they've noticed something.
