Shen Yizhi came to the bed.

Even though she was prepared, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw the person lying on the bed.

If she didn't know that the person in front of her was Xia Yan, she really wouldn't have recognized her.

This plague was so terrible that it had changed her beyond all recognition.

Observe, listen, ask and palpate.

Shen Yizhi first carefully observed Xia Yan's symptoms and found that this was not any plague she knew. Therefore, she could not rely on experience to treat her and could only start research from scratch.

In view of Xia Yan's current condition, she skipped the third step and started taking her pulse.

"How?" Zhang Lingche asked when he saw that she didn't take her hand back for a long time.

"I feel that this is not an epidemic, but a kind of poison."

"Poison?"

The two looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

If it was really a poison, then it was man-made, not a natural disaster.

"I need to confirm it again."

Shen Yizhi went to see other patients and, after obtaining the consent of a maid, did some simple experiments on her. It turned out that they were indeed infected with a kind of poison.

This kind of poisonous insect is extremely small and cannot be seen by the naked eye. It can only be detected by spiritual consciousness. Once it comes into contact with human skin, it will drill into it and multiply rapidly.

The pustules that appear on the patient's body surface are actually "breeding grounds" created by the poisonous insects for better reproduction.

After being invaded by this insect, the human body will go through three stages.

The whole body is covered with pustules.

This is followed by fever, accompanied by symptoms such as headache, dry throat and loss of appetite.

This process will probably take two to five days.

After five days, the patient will be tortured to death by the poisonous insects.

Shen Yizhi imagined the scene and was secretly frightened.

Those poisonous insects hide in the human blood vessels. Unless all the blood in the body is drained, it is impossible to remove all the poisonous insects from the body.

However, once a person's blood is drained, isn't that the only way to go? After leaving Xia's house, Shen Yizhi kept wondering what the purpose of the person behind this was? Could it be that he had a dark mind and wanted to report to the newspaper?

"Where are you going?" Zhang Lingche asked as he saw her walking forward with her head down, but not heading back.

"To the north of the city."

Shen Yizhi had learned from Xia Zhengxiong that most of the people in the city who had contracted the epidemic had been transferred to the quarantine area in the north of the city, and the scope of immunization had been expanded again.

The further Shen Yizi walked into the quarantine area, the heavier his mood became.

The dirtiness, dullness and despair make this place seem like a dead place.

Shen Yizhi performed cleaning techniques as he walked, and asked Zhang Lingche to help him distribute food and water.

Although she cannot cure them now, she can still create a clean environment for them and prevent them from starving.

"Thank you, young lady..."

"The girl is a very good person!"

"May the lake god bless the girl."

"Girl, you'd better leave here quickly, otherwise you will be infected too."

…

Shen Yizhi received a lot of sincere gratitude along the way. Some people were unable to speak, but expressed their gratitude with their eyes.

At a certain moment, a white figure appeared before my eyes. The white color, which was not stained by dust, was so conspicuous in this gloomy isolation area.

It’s Zhong Wuqi.

He was holding a little girl and applying medicine to her.

A woman sat nearby and watched them quietly, with a smile on her pus-covered face.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, Zhong Wuqi looked over, gave her a faint smile, and continued to apply medicine to the little girl with his head down.

Shen Yizhi walked over and placed a portion of food and water in front of the woman.

"Eat it."

The woman was stunned at first, then pleasantly surprised. After thanking him, she opened the still warm paper package and found a few big, white steamed buns inside. They were soft and hot, and just looking at them made people feel full and happy.

Although she had only been here for two days, she felt as if two lifetimes had passed.

No one wanted to get close to this place, so the food was delivered to the entrance of the alley and then left there. However, with so many people here, it was impossible to distribute the food.

She was weak and couldn't compete with those people at all.

She herself doesn't care, but it makes her daughter suffer.

Just when she was in despair, Doctor Zhong came and treated them and gave them medicine without any disgust. Now a girl brought them food.

There are always good people in this world.

The woman tore off a small piece of steamed bun and fed it to her daughter, and gave her a sip of water.

Shen Yizhi and Zhong Wuqi walked aside and asked him about the situation here.

Zhong Wuqi apparently also discovered the truth about the epidemic.

He also came up with a very feasible treatment plan.

"I once went to a village where a man was bitten by a poisonous snake. The village chief used leeches to suck out the poisonous blood. I was thinking, could I also use leeches to suck out the blood of the patient that contained poisonous insects? I was just planning to find some leeches to experiment when you came."

leech?

Shen Yizhi suddenly had an idea in his mind, "No need to look for it, I have it here!"

She had caught a lot of leeches before. Leeches are more ferocious than water leeches, but at this moment, they can play a greater role.

But she hasn’t cared about the leeches in the space since she arrived at Kunling Island. They should still be there... right?

Shen Yizi probed into the space with his spiritual sense and found that the large wooden barrel containing leeches in the laboratory was empty!

There was only one lonely one left inside.

But this one seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. Its body became as crystal clear as jade, and with its grass green color, it looked like it was carved out of the finest jadeite.

There is also a faint golden line on the back.

This leech has apparently evolved in the process of constantly devouring its own kind.

It is somewhat similar to the birth process of Gu.

Shen Yizi caught the leech and left a spiritual imprint on it, so that he could completely control it and no longer be afraid that it would suck blood crazily.

It was also fed a large amount of blood, including a drop of dragon blood.

It can't absorb more than that, so one drop is enough.

Sure enough, after the leech absorbed the dragon's blood, the golden line on its back became more obvious.

Shen Yizhi could feel a sense of closeness coming from the well-fed leech.

It has developed its own consciousness. It seems that this leech has indeed evolved.

She spread out her palm and showed the leech to Zhong Wuqi.

"Let's go and give it a try."

The two men came to the woman and explained the situation to her, and the woman agreed without thinking.

Anyway, she is in this state now, how bad can it get? If she can be cured by chance, then she can save her life!

Shen Yizhi said gently: "If you are afraid, just close your eyes."

The woman shook her head: "It's okay." But she blindfolded her daughter.
