Chapter 2393 Contact
When Zhou Wulang returned home, Bai Shan was already waiting. He asked, "Brother Zhou Wu, has Man Bao sent any letter?"
"No," Zhou Wulang said, "I asked the guards, and they didn't know either. They just heard that Dean Xiao took Doctor Liu in before dark last night, and they haven't come out yet."
Bai Shan frowned, took two steps and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with the experimenter."
Zhou Wulang was worried, "What's the problem? Will Manbao be held accountable?"
Bai Shan said: "After all, it's an experiment, and it's something like smallpox. Even if people die, it's normal. As long as it's not a human error, it's fine. It's just..."
Bai Shan frowned and said, "It's just that our experiment in the Western Region went very smoothly. If we fail here, Manbao may not be able to accept it."
Zhou Wulang was worried, "What should I do then?"
"I'll write a letter. When Fifth Brother goes over tomorrow to deliver something, please give it to the guards to pass on."
But in fact, even if the letter was delivered, it would not reach Manbao's hands. Now Jiulan and Xibing could not see her. She and Xiao Yuanzheng and others were all in the ward area and would not go out.
The two patients developed fever in the evening of that day, just like No. 121, which was urgent and severe. Fortunately, Xiao Yuanzheng and his team were well prepared and had acupuncture and medicinal soups ready. They gave acupuncture when necessary and used medicine when necessary. In the end, No. 98 even used strong medicine, which saved their lives.
The four of them hardly slept the entire night, and only took turns napping for less than two hours. Even Manbao felt a little tired, not to mention Doctor Liu and the others.
All in all, they hadn't slept for two days and two nights.
Xiao Yuan was carefully examining the rashes that had just appeared on their bodies. After a moment, he nodded, "It doesn't look as red or bright as before."
Xiao Yuanzheng put his hand under the quilt, and after confirming that the fever was no longer high, he said, "Doctor Lu, stay here to guard, and the rest of you can go down and rest."
Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Rest for two hours."
Doctor Liu and Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and retreated.
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded to Doctor Lu and went out with them.
As soon as they left the ward area, the servants immediately brought up hot water. Manbao and the others washed their hair and took a bath, and their clothes, shoes and socks were directly burned.
Manbao sat on the couch wearing only her inner garment and a cloak. Before Jiulan had time to give her the letter sent by Bai Shan, Manbao was already leaning on the couch and drowsy.
Jiulan hurried forward and said, "Madam, eat first and then go to sleep."
Manbao replied vaguely, "Dry your hair and eat when you wake up..."
After two days and two nights of sleep deprivation, Manbao felt that nothing was more attractive than sleeping, not even eating.
Jiulan could only wipe her hair carefully. When it was almost dry, she spread it on the couch and took the quilt with Xibing to cover her.
Manbao slept very soundly and was woken up by Jiulan. Manbao remembered that it was her turn to be on duty, so she quickly got up and put on her clothes. She washed her face with cold water, and after waking up, she drank the soup that Jiulan had been keeping warm, then took a cake and ate it while walking towards the ward area.
Jiulan followed closely, carrying a food box. "Madam, here are the meals that have been kept warm on the stove. They are all packed for you. Please take them in and eat."
Manbao fell asleep without eating and was now so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He nodded while biting the cake and successfully finished the cake before entering the ward area. Then he swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat and went in with the food box to replace Doctor Lu.
Doctor Lu looked much worse than her. Seeing her coming, he said, "He had a high fever once, and No. 98 had five more pimples, but they have subsided now. You can wait and see."
Manbao put down the food box, felt their pulse, and confirmed that their condition had not changed much. Then he nodded and asked Doctor Lu to leave.
Manbao took her lunch box to the courtyard to eat. When she opened it, she found a letter under the plate. She took it out and saw that it was from Bai Shan. She felt relieved. After reading the letter, she carefully put it into her space. Then she asked Keke while eating, "Has Teacher Mo not replied yet?"
"No."
Manbao was a little depressed, "It seems that Teacher Mo is very busy recently."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mailbox dinged.
Manbao widened her eyes and immediately put down the meatball on her chopsticks. She looked around, then closed her eyes slightly and immersed herself in her consciousness to read the email.
Teacher Mo sent her a pile of documents. Manbao was dizzy after reading them. At least half of the symbols were unfamiliar and incomprehensible to her.
This was different from the medical reports she had seen before.
She said to Koko, "Go ahead, find an emoji with a head full of question marks and send it to him."
Koko didn't hesitate at all and directly chose the emoticon with the most question marks on it and sent it over.
After sending the email, Teacher Mo, who was about to log off, took a look and replied directly with two words: "Online."
Manbao touched her chin, looked around, and went directly to the room where the body of No. 121 was parked. She closed the doors and windows and said to Koko, "Keep a close eye on it for me."
Koko agreed.
Manbao entered the teaching room.
Teacher Mo held the report in his hand and projected it onto her screen. "What do you not understand?"
Manbao pointed his fingers and said, "I don't understand what it means."
"Oh, right," Teacher Mo rubbed his forehead with a headache, "I forgot, you are not one of the doctors under me, you haven't learned these."
Manbao stared at him with wide eyes.
Teacher Mo frowned as he pondered, flipping through the documents in his hand one by one. He said, "The blood of the two people you gave me has problems. Combined with the smallpox plasma samples you provided, it seems the virus strain in their bodies has mutated."
Teacher Mo said, "Such a mutation is either caused by environmental changes or infection with a secondary differentiated strain..."
Manbao immediately took out a pen and paper to take notes. Teacher Mo spoke at length, then said to her, "This type of mutant virus is always acute and severe. When encountered, antidotes and detoxification pills are used directly. However, for this type of virus, the cure rate of antidotes and detoxification pills is not very high."
"The detoxification pills can only cure and prevent smallpox at an 80% rate. I previously had the lab extract the virus from their blood and then analyzed it with the antidote. They found that it was less than 40% effective in killing smallpox."
Unlike Zhou Man and his team, who need to spend a lot of time to conduct an experiment, Teacher Mo can conduct experiments much faster because he has a full range of equipment and facilities.
But conducting live experiments would be much slower. Teacher Mo said, "If you want specific numbers, I'll have your senior brothers run a few live experiments for you. But it'll probably take about half a month to get the results."
Manbao was stunned and asked, "Is it a human?"
See you at 9pm
