The base survivors, now reborn, praised Bai Shuang to the skies, saying she was unparalleled.
But Bai Shuang ignored this. After this incident, she was certain that if she became the leader, most people would raise their hands in agreement.
Fortunately, the leader is my grandfather. If it were a narrow-minded person, wouldn't her achievements overshadow those in power? Would they be jealous of her and want to get rid of her as soon as possible?
Believe it or not, there are indeed some gossips among the military's high command.
Mr. Lu's office.
Old Lu and Ling Liyuan were chatting, with two senior military officers nearby. They had just expressed their hope that their superior would give credit to the base leadership for Bai Shuang's achievements.
They said that personal merits cannot exceed those of the base leadership.
Grandpa Lu said, "This is equal. You can also make contributions. When the epidemic was rampant and the lives of survivors were threatened, why didn't you take action?"
If you lack the ability, it's best to keep your mouth shut to avoid disheartening those who have made contributions.
Be careful you don't catch a disease someday; my granddaughter-in-law holds a grudge and won't give you any medicine.
It was a threat, a blatant threat, but it was the truth, and the two dared not say anything more.
Old Lu ignored them and turned to chat with Ling Liyuan with a smile.
“I knew it when the girl took action; she has a sense of national righteousness in her heart.”
As they were talking, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu walked in.
Grandpa Lu said, "Girl, if you give me a great-grandchild, I'll hand over this leadership position to you."
Are they being pressured to have a baby?
"Who would want your position? It's so tiring, and you don't even get any credit."
That girl really knows how to talk.
"Hmph, if you won't do it, I'll give it to your husband."
Those two who were just spouting nonsense are now furious. Seriously, does this leadership position belong to you? You think you can just give it up whenever you want?
They just didn't dare to say a word on the surface.
"If you want to give in, then give in. If he doesn't have time for me, then we'll get a divorce. Anyway, I don't depend on him for support."
Grandpa Lu was about to glare at him when he heard his grandson say, "Wife, calm down. Don't worry, I won't become a leader."
Old Lu glared at his grandson, "Spineless coward!"
Bai Shuang knew he was just joking and wouldn't back down now.
On the 25th, thanks to Bai Shuang's continuous sale of medicine and moxa sticks, those who could afford it bought them, and the number of new infections each day finally began to decrease.
Most of the people here are elites carefully selected by the base, and they are all very capable of living. Although it is still difficult, very few people are without points.
If we're talking about those with less ability, like Bai Qianqian, they were brought over as family members in the early days.
However, those who can bring their families are all capable and have the means, and they are not living in poverty.
If you really want to save points, you can stay in public areas every day and smell the burning moxa sticks to prevent the spread of the virus.
Now that the overall situation is settled, and the stock of Bai Shuang's moxa sticks and black pearl medicine is almost exhausted, we have to keep them for our own people. Everything must be done in moderation.
Those who contract the disease, some with strong immune systems, will recover slowly after taking Black Pearl Medicine and antipyretics, while those with weaker immune systems will die within a few days.
The cure rate for infected patients is about 50%.
In late April, there was some exciting news: Bai's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital had successfully developed a vaccine.
The survivors at the base cheered upon hearing the news, realizing they had finally made it through and would no longer fear infection once they received the vaccine.
Mr. Wu was the first to bring Aqiao to the hospital for vaccination.
Lately, he and his children have been too scared to go out, and even his subordinates have been too afraid to go out to work.
This was the first time since the apocalypse that they had been so terrified.
As a private investigator, he relied on his keen observation skills and exceptional life skills to ensure that, although he was not as wealthy as before the disaster, he never lacked food or drink.
Viruses and bacteria are the only ones that you can't touch or see. No matter how strong your detection capabilities are, you can't do anything about them.
Here at Baishuang, the first batch of vaccines should be given to our own people first.
Hospital staff, planting area staff, Grandpa Lu and Lu Yujun's camp.
Later, the base funded vaccinations for all those who were not infected.
But it takes a long time to get a turn, and you might get sick while waiting.
Those who are well-off pay for their own vaccinations at Baijia Hospital.
With this, the plague was completely over. The Kyoto military base suffered 30,000 casualties in the plague, equivalent to one-tenth of its total population.
No personnel at Lu Yu's military unit or Bai Shuang Hospital have been infected.
Old Lu and the other base leaders were all filled with lingering fear. Without Bai Shuang and her medical team, the consequences of this epidemic would have been unimaginable.
To thank Bai Shuang and her colleagues for their outstanding contributions to the base during the pandemic, the base's military awarded her the title of Special Merit Citation.
Because Bai Shuang was unwilling to join the military, she was granted the title of honorary soldier, which allows her to exercise all the rights of a soldier.
Other officers, however, had no authority to order her around.
She can join the military anytime she wants.
The base also awarded 500,000 points, which Bai Shuang herself didn't need. She used all of them to reward the Bai family medical experts who participated in the vaccine research and the medical staff who made outstanding contributions.
Bai Shuang used a large sum of points earned from selling vaccines, then transferred 800,000 points to buy a two-bedroom apartment for Uncle Li to live in.
She wouldn't care about other people's houses, including Uncle Mike's, Bai Tian, and Bai Di's.
As friends and family, if someone is in trouble and it's within my ability, I'll naturally lend a hand.
However, you can't do everything for them. If you do it for them, they will become dependent on you and eventually take it for granted.
Everyone has to rely on themselves to make a living; relatives and friends can only help in emergencies, not in long-term poverty.
Unlike others, Uncle Li always treated Bai Shuang like his own daughter. He raised Bai Shuang, and they had a father-daughter relationship. They also shared finances.
The base wanted Bai Shuang to serve as the Minister of Health, but she refused.
In terms of strength and power, having Lu Yu and his grandfather is enough; no one can bully him.
She didn't want to be trapped by those trivial matters and unable to do anything.
Meanwhile, in other bases in China, the plague was raging, and Grandpa Lu was worried about the other Chinese survivors.
The hospital was ordered to cease operations and focus all its efforts on vaccine production.
The relevant official bases were notified in turn to fly over at night to collect some of the vaccines and the extraction method.
This portion of the cost is borne by the government (i.e., by the Kyoto base).
A professional medical team will handle all reception, disinfection, and handover details.
Uncle Li and his group can only come over after the official base's epidemic has subsided.
During the pandemic, the Kyoto base is temporarily not accepting survivors.
At the Longcheng base, Uncle Zuo came to pick up the vaccines. Bai Shuang inquired about the situation of her master and his men from them.
Knowing they are alright and haven't contracted the disease puts my mind at ease.
I specially took two boxes, one for my uncle Baitian and the others, and the other for the Zuo family, so that they could take it back and hand it directly to Uncle Li so that they could be vaccinated as soon as possible.
They also brought some black pearl-based medicines and fever reducers, just in case.
We left quite a bit of food last time, which should last until the pandemic ends. If it's not enough, Uncle Li has points on his card, so he can buy more.
