The Zheng family, longing to return home, went back to their home in Lanxing Sihelou, but felt no joy whatsoever.
Instead, the Zheng family received three patients requiring special care.
Medical staff, fully equipped with white coats, white hats, and masks, escorted the three elderly people to the courtyard house. Before they could even knock, the door opened automatically at Xu Qi's voice control, and the medical staff helped the three elderly people into the courtyard house.
"Comrade Zheng Ya, please take a look at these three elderly comrades quickly, they can't hold on much longer!" Dr. Liu, who was in the lead, stepped forward anxiously and made the request.
The Zheng family looked grave. Zheng Ya waved for the medical staff to help the three elderly people to their guest room and lie down. He then personally accompanied them there, asking as they walked, "What diagnosis did your doctor make?"
"I'm sorry, our hospital has not yet found a cure for this sudden illness. It is tentatively named the Black Death, and it is highly contagious."
"But don't worry, our hospital has brought all kinds of disinfectants..." Dr. Liu hurriedly introduced, looking exhausted and even staggering as he tried to walk.
Zheng Ya waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Alright, you can go back and rest now."
"Leave the three of them, old comrades, to me..."
"Ah, this, this is not appropriate. These three veteran comrades are all heroes. I cannot bear the responsibility if something happens to them..." Dr. Liu waved his hand in a panic to refuse.
What followed was Zheng Ya's blunt remark: "What else can you be doing here besides disturbing my treatment of the old comrade's sudden illness?"
"Comrade Zheng Ya, how can you talk like that?"
Sudden illnesses are not under our hospital's jurisdiction. Even if they were, that would be the responsibility of the medical public relations department, not us doctors.
"We also want to save lives, but the national medical department has not developed a cure for the Black Death. What are we doctors supposed to do?" Dr. Liu's emotional statement clarified a fact.
Zheng Ya raised his hand to stop them: "This is a typical case of shirking responsibility."
"You haven't mastered medical skills, but you're a master at shirking responsibility. With your medical ethics, you should just go home and be a veterinarian!"
"Comrade Zheng Ya, what do you mean?" Doctor Liu changed his explanation to yelling, knowing that he had defined his future as ruined by Zheng Ya.
Zheng Ya paid no heed to such irresponsible scoundrels, waving his hand to shoo them away: "Guards, drag this quack doctor who's harassing the Zheng family and delaying the treatment of patients out of here..."
"Zheng Ya, you bastard! What did I do to offend you? Why are you doing this to me? No, don't pull me..." Doctor Liu shouted as the guards dragged him out.
The backyard plantation and seed research base are preserved and maintained, and the guard platoon is on duty 24 hours a day.
When the Zheng family returned home, the guards greeted them immediately. How could they tolerate outsiders causing trouble? They would arrest them and conduct a political interrogation before discussing anything further.
The remaining medical staff cautiously withdrew from the Zheng family's gate, not daring to leave, and remained outside to await orders.
Seeing that they didn't cause any trouble, the guards let it go.
As long as they don't cross the cordon, they can do whatever they want.
Inside the courtyard house, Xu Qi was busy spraying disinfectant: "Honey, these three elderly comrades look very unwell, please treat them quickly!"
"No rush, I've already extracted their blood samples and am analyzing the data. It'll be ready soon." Zheng Ya diagnosed the three patients with elemental invasion at first glance.
Strictly speaking, it's a dark element invasion.
The elements are divided into light, darkness, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and mutated elements such as wind, ice, and lightning.
Superpowers are professions that are awakened based on elements.
Even those with special abilities like strength and indestructible bodies, who may seem unrelated to elements, all cultivate by absorbing the elemental power of heaven and earth as nourishment, accumulating and strengthening their abilities day by day.
To put it simply, elements are the nourishment for all superpowers.
The difference is that direct-line elemental ability users cultivate relatively quickly.
For example, fire-type ability users can absorb fire elements and cultivate at a speed several times faster than strength-type ability users.
It's the same principle as matching your major to your job.
For ordinary humans, infection with dark elemental invasion is a deadly poison.
Zheng Ya has already achieved a mixed physique, which includes dark elements. He can see the signs of dark elements invading ordinary people at a glance, and it is easy to cure them. He can simply use light-based superpowers to suppress them.
This was child's play for Zheng Ya; it was no challenge at all.
The challenge lies in developing a serum to treat this virus, which the dark element has identified as the Black Death, and in procuring large quantities of the serum to save more lives.
Zheng Ya didn't want to rush to the front line to save lives, to go back to her old self, to work hard but lose more than she gained, and to delay the treatment of more people.
Fu Qingyao approached him anxiously and urged, "They are all heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Hurry up and save them. If anything happens, I'll never forgive you..."
"Mom, don't rush things. Don't worry, I'm here."
"Don't worry, you three old comrades. What kind of hardship didn't you endure during the War of Resistance? I don't believe you'll be defeated by this little bit of suffering." Zheng Ya encouraged them with these words, seeking the antidote.
Simply put, it's the process of willpower stimulating the body's potential to fight the virus, producing serum that inhibits the toxicity.
Once extracted and infused with elements of light, it becomes a serum that counteracts the dark element, making it available for use by ordinary people.
It was settled in just a few words.
Unfortunately, Fu Qingyao angrily raised her hand to slap him: "You brat, what time is it? You're still trying to do ideological work with the old hero. Do you even deserve it?"
"I'll beat you half to death if I don't kill you today..."
"Hit her, hit her harder, Grandma, keep it up!" Black-hearted Cotton, not wanting to miss any opportunity for trouble, received a flick on the forehead from Xu Qi, who then ran away clutching her head in pain.
Zheng Xing rolled his eyes: "Grandma, you really went all out. It's so much better than when my mom massages Dad. Doesn't it feel good, Dad?"
"Ahem, you brat, you see through me but don't say it..." Zheng Ya was helpless. His own son had also become naughty and knew how to tease people!
Fu Qingyao said irritably, "Grandma calls this 'parental discipline,' you're still young, how would you understand this?"
"Uh, Grandma, you're amazing!" Zheng Xing learned something; it turned out that his grandma could lie too. Fu Qingyao scolded him in annoyance, "What kind of look is that?"
Grandma will tell you, this is called "hitting therapy," it's used to distract the patient. You still have a lot to learn.
"Ah, really? Wow, the three old men do look much better. I've really learned something now, amazing!" Zheng Xing suddenly realized, there's such a way to treat illnesses?
Zheng Ya smiled and said, "It's superficial to live for appearances."
"A person lives with energy and spirit; when driven by willpower, nothing is impossible. Got it, kid?"
"Stop teaching the kids here. How's it going? Have you analyzed the medicine to cure the dark energy source yet?" Fu Qingyao didn't want to delay saving lives.
The crucial point is that this disease is infecting life on three planets at an alarming rate, and there is no time to lose.
With everyone's eyes fixed on him, Zheng Ya smiled faintly and took out a bottle of serum and a formula, saying, "As expected, may I ask the three veteran comrades if they dare to give it a try?"
"Come on?" The three old comrades had difficulty speaking, but they still gritted their teeth and showed their determination and willingness to be the first in the world.
Fu Qingyao stood solemnly, saluted, and led Zheng Xing to follow suit.
Zheng Ya was busy injecting them with serum, using normal needles and syringes, disinfecting them with cotton balls, and performing a series of injection procedures.
After three injections, the three elderly men lay on the bed convulsing and foaming at the mouth, which terrified Fu Qingyao, who exclaimed, "You brat, will something go wrong?"
"Yes, sir, hurry and save them!" Xu Qi urged anxiously as she saw the three of them couldn't hold on any longer. She knew that her husband could treat them painlessly, and that using people for experiments was just to verify the serum and obtain data on serum treatment in order to save more people.
