Other official bases, with their death toll rising, were on the verge of collapse and were sending messages to the Kyoto base, asking if a cure had been developed.
But there was still no news from the research institute.
As time went on, the survivors' respiratory illnesses worsened, and the base's leaders began to die, including soldiers under Lu Yu's command.
Among them, the Yuwen family and the former commander Wang's family were the most severely affected.
Because they were initially embarrassed to go to Baishuang Hospital to buy medicine, they were a little late in using the medicine.
I heard that several members of the Yuwen family have died, and the wife of the former army commander is seriously ill.
Only members of the Bai family lineage have not yet shown any symptoms.
Actually, it's not that the white frost has any special healing properties, but rather that it comes from the restorative effects of the spiritual spring water.
The destructive power of the toxic fog persists, but it is simultaneously being destroyed and repaired.
She currently gives pure spiritual spring water to those close to her, but it's impossible for everyone in the base to use pure water; if the amount used is too large, others might suspect the source of the water.
The only water that could be given to the employees and Lu Yu's army was filtered water with 30% spiritual spring water added.
Others can only use points to buy alkaline solution, soak their masks in it, boil it, and use it as a nebulizer for their respiratory tract; they can't possibly drink the spiritual spring.
Although he was dissatisfied, former Commander Wang was now just an ordinary survivor and had lost the right to speak at the higher levels.
The Yuwen family cowered like turtles, and if they offended the Bai family, they would die even faster if the Bai family refused to sell them medicine.
As the Spring Festival approached, the toxic fog showed no signs of abating, and Bai Shuang felt the situation was becoming increasingly dire. More than half of the people at the various official bases had already died.
Even at the Kyoto base, quite a few people have died.
In Lu Yu's military camp, people die every day, not to mention the other two military camps.
Bai Jiu and the others coughed frequently, feeling weak all over.
The toxic fog had been lingering for months, and Bai Shuang and Lu Yu, who had been drinking spiritual spring water and sleeping in their space at night, both felt respiratory discomfort.
The snow leopard occasionally picked its nose with its paw.
Bai Di came over crying and said, "Niu Niu coughed up blood."
This can't go on. She's already used the spiritual spring water, but it's unrealistic to try and put them all into her spatial storage.
She couldn't afford the consequences of her space being exposed.
As for helping the base collect houses and machinery before, even if others knew about it, it could be described as magic, or telekinesis.
As for her personal space, she would never reveal it in her lifetime.
Bai Shuang once again entered the space to check the medicinal herbs, to see if there was a medicine that could cure the disease completely.
He'd tried everything—anti-inflammatory, restorative, ordinary, precious—and this time he was going to look at the ones he'd previously filtered out, the ones he thought wouldn't have any effect on these.
She tried monkey fruit, which did have a cooling effect, but it didn't treat the damage caused by the toxic fog. The sour taste of the fruit would only make things worse.
We've also tried alkaline herbs, but they weren't very effective.
I tried all day, but to no avail.
When Bai Jiu came out of the space in the evening, he was cooking, feeling unwell.
Lu Yu and his men haven't returned from the military camp yet, and the death toll at their camp has been rising steadily these past few days.
Bai Chang went to deliver medicine to Uncle Li and the others; they haven't been feeling well these past few days either.
Bai Jiu knew that Bai Shuang was researching medicinal herbs in the laboratory.
"Miss, have you found anything?"
You can tell from his voice that he has nasal congestion.
Bai Shuang shook her head helplessly.
Bai Jiu sighed, "If the poisonous fog doesn't go away, is God going to wipe out humanity?"
Seeing that Bai Shuang didn't speak, he continued.
“Miss, don’t be afraid. Even if I die, I will still be with you in my next life.”
Hearing him say that, Bai Shuang didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Okay, you can be my younger brother in your next life."
"No, I won't be your younger brother, I'll be your bodyguard, just like in this life, we'll grow up together."
"Why?"
"Only close bodyguards can be with us every day and protect us every day. You see, even the son-in-law doesn't spend as much time with us as he does."
"That's true. What if I don't do well in my next life and can't afford to pay you guys?"
Few people can afford to hire personal bodyguards.
"Then let's create a world together and make money together."
"good."
Bai Shuang answered with a smile.
"However, I believe that Miss's abilities are etched into her soul, and she will not be any less capable in her next life."
"Haha, I hope so."
His words eased the oppressive atmosphere considerably.
As they were talking, the meal was ready. The others hadn't returned yet, so the two of them prepared to eat first. Just as they sat down at the table, the snow leopard ran over and wagged its tail at Bai Shuang.
"I think the snow leopard is much better today. Look, it's not picking its nose anymore, and it seems to have a better appetite."
Bai Shuang looked at the snow leopard eating and wondered if it was because it had just left the space.
But it goes into the space with me every night, and I've never seen its symptoms lessen much when it comes out of the space.
Every time I come out and breathe in the fresh air, I sneeze several times in a row.
It seems like there weren't any today. Could it be that they've truly adapted to the toxic fog and developed antibodies?
Bai Jiu's eyes lit up. "Could it be that it has developed antibodies?"
If it develops antibodies, we'll vaccinate it against smallpox.
Bai Shuang found it amusing, "People get cowpox vaccination, but we get dogpox?"
"Aren't dogs and cows both animals?"
The snow leopard, sensing something amiss in his words, glanced at him sideways and barked...
After the meal, Bai Shuang asked Bai Jiu to deliver some spiritual spring water to Grandpa Lu.
He wasn't feeling well, but he still had to keep working, after all, he was getting old, and he didn't want to not make it through.
She didn't wait for Lu Yu to return. She went straight into the lab, closed the door, and then flashed into the space with the snow leopard to continue her drug research.
