Chapter 143 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 143...
Lin Wei didn't wait any longer and immediately performed a mutation treatment on the anti-tumor drug.
However, she also knew that two days was a tight schedule. She had spent a long time developing anti-tumor drugs before, and no one knew what could be developed in such a short time.
Because of the tight schedule, she didn't even have time to go into the simulation room. She figured that cultivating more culture dishes would increase the chances of success, so she cultivated sixteen experimental groups at once.
Once cultivation began, experiments were conducted one by one in the simulation room to calculate the final results.
However, the result was not as expected.
Of the sixteen culture dishes, only two produced viruses that were effective against the Devil virus. Nevertheless, there were significant differences between them. One dish, while effective against the Devil virus, also had a killing effect on other cells, similar to the failed anticancer virus 101, but about three times more effective.
When Lin Wei saw the other set of petri dishes, she frowned. Although it wasn't as lethal as the other set, it was still a contagious virus, and she was torn between the two.
The former is too powerful. Just look at that biology student from before. If the more potent virus enters the human body, the Devil virus will be killed, but there won't be many normal cells left. The price is too high. However, if another set of culture dishes is used, when the virus spreads rampantly, no one can guarantee what will happen next or whether their hospital can control it.
Finally, she handed over the decision-making opportunity to the hospital leaders, who then passed it on to their superiors, who in turn passed it on to their superiors, and finally it was reported to the central government.
"I think we can give it a try. There's no better option right now, is there?" Conventional vaccine development takes a very long time, and during that time, won't hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more infected patients die?
If this continues, Yun City is doomed, and the whole country is doomed.
"I don't agree. What if this infectious disease spreads and poses an even greater threat to our country? Then it won't be just one virus, but two." In the meeting room, a group of people were arguing about this issue, not for personal gain, but for the sake of the country.
“In my opinion, that infectious virus should be destroyed to avoid making an even bigger mistake,” the conservative radical said.
Radicals: "Do you think sticking to the old ways will prevent much harm? Do you know how many patients die every day? This is just an outbreak in Yunshi. What if it were Kyoto? Would you still be so calm? Every second you hesitate is a disrespect for the lives of all the people in our country."
"Moreover, the virus was developed by the researchers of anti-tumor drugs, so we should trust that she can control it."
In the end, both the radicals and the moderates agreed with the suggestion, and despite the opposition from the conservatives, the minority ultimately yielded to the majority.
However, things haven't gotten to the worst yet. Lin Wei has discovered that she had previously tried to force the virus to undergo a process of self-destruction and given time, but to no avail. Yet, by a twist of fate, she has now succeeded. This is undoubtedly good news.
A cycle lasts 14 days. If a patient can survive the 14 days, they can rest and recuperate for a period of time. If the virus is weak enough, they may even be able to get through it with their immune system.
However, in addition to this, Lin Wei also had to produce neurotrophic factors because she suspected that the virus also attacked the nerves, otherwise it would be impossible for the patient to have impaired consciousness.
Fortunately, the failed attempts she had previously developed were sufficient for her needs.
While it may not be enough to restore the nerve cells of a person in a vegetative state, it can certainly activate the nerve cells that have been attacked.
And so she began mass-producing the drug for use, with all expenses covered by the hospital, knowing she could eventually earn it all back.
However, just in case, the A University Affiliated Hospital was still locked down, allowing only medical staff and infected individuals to enter, while others were not allowed to enter.
Patients who were originally in other departments of the hospital were transferred to other hospitals under the arrangement of their respective departments.
While other cities may not have felt the impact of this infectious disease as deeply as others, Yun City is now in a living hell.
Patients were admitted one after another, but there were only a handful of medical staff from beginning to end, and some of them were infected and are now in a coma in their hospital beds. Despair infected everyone.
"Where's the medicine? Hasn't the country found a cure yet? What about the virologists and biologists?" As they watched someone bring them food outside, but didn't mention any medical treatment, the group's hearts sank to the bottom.
The doctors and nurses from the Affiliated Hospital of University A who came to provide support were not much better off than them, but they still held onto a glimmer of hope. Before leaving, the hospital leaders told Dr. Lin to study the virus, and that she would definitely be able to figure it out, right?
Just then, an armed police force delivered a batch of medicine. The officers were wearing heavy protective gear, and the medicine was also surrounded by multiple layers of protection, for fear of leakage en route.
The eyes of everyone in the hospitals in Yunshi were filled with anticipation.
And the result was exactly as they had imagined.
Armed Police Force: "These are medicines transported from City A. One is an anti-devil drug, Angel-13, which is infectious, so please use it with caution. The other is a neurotrophic factor, used to nourish nerves and promote patient awakening. Usage information is in the drug instructions. If you have any questions, you can contact the number listed above."
After hearing this, the group of medical staff looked at the batch of medicines in front of them as if facing a major threat. No wonder they were all wrapped up so tightly and wearing gloves; it turned out that this was also a contagious virus.
Is this considered fighting poison with poison? A group of people gave a wry smile.
But having medicine is better than having no medicine, even though the group of people didn't know whether the medicine would work or not.
However, Lin Haiyan, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the contact number belonged to the A University Affiliated Hospital. She excitedly pulled the doctor and nurse beside her and said, "It's Dr. Lin! It must have been developed by Dr. Lin." She really couldn't guess who else could it be but her.
She knew she wouldn't give up on them.
However, when it came to actually using these drugs, the group was still extremely cautious. They had seen the young woman from the biology department suffer terribly from the virus she had developed, and they had even gone to see her because it wasn't their department.
They didn't think the virus she developed, especially an infectious one, was anything good.
He even repeatedly emphasized that the medical staff in his group should be careful. Although the drug can fight the Devil, it also has strong side effects. It is best for ordinary people not to get infected with the virus, otherwise it would be a loss.
As the medications were administered, the patients experienced intense pain, fever, and chills. However, this time, the medical staff managed to bring down their fevers using physical cooling methods.
However, a series of drug side effects also appeared, namely coughing, general weakness, and feeling extremely frail, as if I had just recovered from a serious illness. It's amazing that someone could catch a cold in this not-so-low temperature weather.
But compared to death, this side effect is acceptable.
One patient after another woke up, proving that Lin Wei's guess was correct; it did indeed have the effect of attacking nerve cells.
Of course, some people with weak constitutions couldn't withstand the powerful drug attack and died after a period of rescue efforts, leaving the medical staff helpless.
At this point, they realized that the medicine wasn't a cure-all, but compared to the despair of the previous few days, things were much better now, weren't they? At least there was a glimmer of hope.
Meanwhile, in City S, the four infected individuals had basically recovered. They were luckier; Lin Wei had obtained several doses of immune-boosting medication from Chi Boyan, which helped them improve their immunity, so the situation in Yun City did not occur.
Hospital leader: "Did you also research this drug?"
Lin Wei: "No." How could she possibly research this drug in such a short time? Knowing the hospital leaders' thoughts, she directly told them where she obtained it. As for him wanting to seek cooperation, he could contact Chi Boyan himself.
"By the way, has the source of this infectious disease been identified?" Lin Wei asked, remembering this question.
The hospital leader shook his head. "I don't know. When this incident broke out, there were already many cases, so we couldn't trace the source."
"However, we and the higher-ups suspect that it was brought by international students from Africa."
Because before the outbreak in the Flower Country, there were already many people in F Continent with these symptoms. However, their approach was different from that in the Flower Country. As soon as they discovered it was an infectious disease, they immediately locked them up, preventing them from leaving and letting them die silently.
In addition, the weather in F continent is extremely hot, yet the situation has been relatively well controlled.
The fact that the outbreak was well-controlled here means that there was no large-scale outbreak, but the death toll was still high, reaching 300,000 people in total. Compared to them, the Flower Kingdom suffered relatively less damage this time, with only a little over 200 deaths.
Two hundred people died of sepsis, and dozens more died from the effects of the drugs; their bodies were too weak to withstand it.
The hospital leader looked at Lin Wei and said, "This time, you have made a great contribution."
