While cleaning up the dishes, pustules appeared on Shen Yanming's arm.
Bi Qiaoan didn't move, letting Shen Yanming take out their treasured energy rainwater and spiritual spring water from the storage area, pour them into two small bottle caps, dip them with a cotton swab, and apply them to the boils on Old Shen's arm.
Then ten minutes passed, then half an hour, and the abscess on Shen Yanming's arm showed no change whatsoever. This terrified the two of them.
They dare to be so reckless because they think something will work, but what can they do in this situation?
Bi Qiaoan paced back and forth in the living room, almost in tears. Shen Yanming slumped onto the sofa, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Finally, he accepted this reality. Shen Yanming stood up and said to his wife, "It's okay, we still have the research institute. Maybe they can find a solution from a scientific perspective. We can't let the whole world's population become pustules, right?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded as if she had found a savior, "You're right. Even in the apocalypse, God can't push everyone to the brink of despair. He's just filtering people out; he can't leave no one alive and cause species extinction."
Whether she was comforting herself or Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan believed these words without a doubt.
Shen Yanming sighed, "You should go back and rest first. I'll go to the bamboo house to study the ancient books and see if there are any relevant records."
Bi Qiaoan insisted, "I'll go with you!"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "We still have two babies to take care of, and we can't leave this place alone. You stay here and take care of them. I'll be back in a little while."
Bi Qiaoan really wanted to say that she could bring her baby to accompany her. But considering that the conditions at the bamboo house weren't as good as here, she gave up the idea.
However, she instructed, "If you need anything, just call out; I can hear you."
Shen Yanming nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he asked his wife to help him carry the things on the coffee table to the bamboo house, and then waved and walked over there.
Bi Qiaoan thoughtfully placed a lot of fruit on the table in the bamboo house. Shen Yanming shook his head and chuckled upon seeing this. They each controlled half the space; how could he possibly lack food?
However, he accepted his wife's kindness in its entirety.
He peeled a lychee and put it in his mouth; the sweet taste went straight to his heart. Shen Yanming flipped through the ancient books left to him by his ancestors, and unknowingly became engrossed in them.
Meanwhile, at the mobile villa, Bi Qiaoan lay in bed unable to sleep. She would occasionally glance at Shen Yanming, only to find him engrossed in a book.
Left with no other choice, Bi Qiaoan got up, washed up, and then carried two plastic buckets up the mountain.
Although it's uncertain whether the spring water is effective for impetigo, they consume a lot of it in their daily lives. Since I can't sleep right now, I'll go up the mountain to prepare some in advance.
However, she overestimated her physical strength.
Climbing up the mountain is easy, fetching water is easy, but on the way down, because the spiritual energy they receive is decreasing, their bodies become increasingly tired, and the plastic buckets in their hands become heavier and heavier.
After finally making it to the foot of the mountain, Bi Qiaoan could no longer walk.
Using her mind, she placed two plastic buckets into the kitchen, then moved the bird's nest-shaped hanging chair from the entrance of the mobile villa to the foot of the mountain. She slumped down on it, intending to rest for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep immediately.
When she woke up, she was drenched in a cold sweat.
She quickly checked on the two little ones with her mind and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were sleeping peacefully. She then glanced at Shen Yanming and saw that he was engrossed in reading at the table, so she withdrew her mind.
Put the bird's nest hanging chair back in its original place, and wander around the space to collect fruit and fish and shrimp.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, apart from eating, sleeping and returning to the mobile villa, Shen Yanming spent the rest of his time in the bamboo house.
It's not that he doesn't miss his wife and baby, but having a distance between them makes him feel more at ease.
During this time, he also confirmed the efficacy of the spiritual spring water and the energy rain. In fact, they are both effective, but it just takes time.
After applying the ointment multiple times, Shen Yanming finally noticed that the pustules on his arm had subsided after 24 hours. Furthermore, after two days of observation, it was confirmed that there was no recurrence.
Although the results are good, they take a long time and cannot be widely adopted.
So Shen Yanming didn't remove all the pustules on his arm, but instead studied medicine preparation in the bamboo hut. He wanted to try and see if he could find a prescription that could be popularized among the general public.
Otherwise, even if a few individuals are cured, they'll just remain in the crowd as living targets.
However, this time it seemed that fate was not so kind to Shen Yanming. After three days of hard work, he still gained very little.
He wasn't discouraged, after all, he wasn't a professional and could only focus on the results. Even if he found a cure for impetigo, without eradicating the root cause, there was no guarantee it wouldn't recur.
So, all that fuss was just to give it a try.
After spending three days in the space, Shen Yanming became restless. He was eager to know what was happening outside.
After discussing it with Bi Qiaoan, the two left the space together. Although it was brightly lit outside, it was also very quiet.
Shen Yanming found his phone and checked the messages. He discovered that Guo Tingshuo had replied to him early the next morning after receiving his photos.
I didn't say much, just expressed my regret. Then I told him to rest well and try to prevent the abscess from spreading.
In truth, Shen Yanming's condition was the mildest among those who contracted the disease due to his thorough precautions. But regardless, he has contracted it, so the next step is to protect himself and wait for a treatment plan to be developed.
His symptoms are so mild, he should be able to wait.
People like Meng Wu in the medical team, because they were among the first to fall ill, now have their faces covered with dense pustules.
Moreover, at that time, the medical team did not know that pus could affect normal skin, so many of them developed abscesses on their hands and arms because they had been exposed to pus.
Although it doesn't hurt or itch, the damage it causes them is by no means minor.
Not to mention the medical staff who were taking care of them, it was heartbreaking to see.
So a group of people simply didn't go home, signed an agreement to become guinea pigs, hoping the medical team could experiment on them and find a treatment plan as soon as possible.
They no longer expect to restore their appearance; they just hope that once the pustules subside, their faces won't be so disfigured.
This wasn't just happening in the Hai City Guard; similar situations were occurring throughout Qinghua Kingdom.
The alliance was also anxious, but a treatment plan couldn't be developed overnight. They had already increased their manpower to conduct experiments, but they hadn't obtained definitive results yet.
The good news is that the research institute has confirmed that impetigo itself is not fatal.
In other words, as long as proper hygiene is maintained and there is no bacterial or viral infection, impetigo patients will not face life-threatening risks. This is undoubtedly good news for the people of Qinghua Kingdom.
