Finding him might save them. Her big eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Shen Lingdu, "Dr. Shen, you've been here for so long, don't you want to go back to the outside world? If so, we have a good place for you." She had just heard Dr. Shen say that he had no family and was all alone.
Where to?
"Of course it's a good place," Ye Yunyi began to persuade. "We have a base here, in the villa district in the south of the city. You know Maple Forest Villa? We've organized the survivors, and now they're self-sufficient, the elderly are cared for, and the young are educated. Everyone lives in peace and contentment, and we've even begun to form a small society. I don't have my own guard team, but I can protect everyone's safety. If you come with us, you'll definitely enjoy national treasure-level treatment..."
Ye Yunyi rattled off a long list of benefits, but didn't mention the illness. She thought that if Dr. Chen didn't go, what would happen to the people there? That was her fault. As long as he went, she would definitely apologize properly.
"Okay." Dr. Shen readily agreed.
Then I led everyone to pack up the medicines. Fortunately, the hospital was worried that a power outage would spoil the medicines that needed to be refrigerated. So, they installed a generator, and the place still has electricity now.
With Dr. Shen's guidance, they quickly stored all the medicines, and packed up the ones that needed to be frozen. This was a very successful trip, and they no longer needed to risk going to other hospitals.
Shen Lingdu quickly packed his things, but Ye Yunyi felt that something was missing.
Oh, right, research equipment.
"Dr. Shen, do you think we should bring our research equipment? If we had that kind of equipment, maybe we could find a way to deal with the zombies," Ye Yunyi said hopefully.
"Oh, this is in my lab, but it's in another building. It's quite dangerous to go there." Shen Lingdu wanted to as well, but he had been trapped here for half a year and had no choice. He pointed to the lab building across the street.
Ye Yunyi looked out the window. About 100 meters away from the building, there were many zombies on the ground, but only a few scattered zombies in the laboratory.
Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong exchanged glances and both agreed that it was feasible.
“That works, Dr. Shen, we’ll go get it right away.”
The group returned via the stairwell. This journey was much easier; the zombies had been cleared, and they quickly reached the underground parking garage. After loading their belongings into the car, Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong selected 10 people to escort Dr. Shen from the basement to the laboratory. Guided by Dr. Shen, they obtained the laboratory equipment, samples, and some data, and even packed up and took his personal computer.
After loading everything into the car, everyone sped out of the basement, rushing out of the zombie horde and heading home.
Upon arriving at the villa area, everyone underwent the routine inspection. Then they went to the canteen. Liu Qingguo and the others had already prepared a meal and were waiting for them.
As Shen Lingdu walked through the villa area, he saw the transformed crops, ponds, and streams, which truly resembled a paradise.
Moreover, their meal included fresh vegetables, sweet spring water, and, more importantly, fresh meat. He quickly picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The aromas of chili peppers, five-spice powder, Sichuan peppercorns, and chicken stimulated his taste buds. He was overjoyed, his face beaming with smiles.
Zhao Yong and Ye Yunyi accompanied Shen Lingdu to dinner, while Xiao Fang and Old Xu went to put away the medicines. They quickly found a refrigerator and put the medicines that needed to be frozen inside.
Upon hearing that Shen Lingdu had been summoned, Old Xu looked up at the sky, clasped his hands together, and thought, "There's hope now, there's hope now."
After dinner, Wang Zixiang also arrived. Ye Yunyi, Old Xu, Wang Zixiang, and Zhao Yong personally arranged a beautifully decorated but unoccupied villa for Shen Lingdu, not far from the office area and where Ye Yunyi and the others lived. They also thoughtfully connected the electricity to his home and arranged the necessary supplies.
Looking at this arrangement, Shen Lingdu felt as if he had returned to the time before the apocalypse, a time when everyone revered him.
But before he could rejoice for long, Ye Yunyi, with a familiar face, apologized to him. "I'm sorry, Dr. Shen, I lied to you. Someone here is actually sick and really needs you. I was afraid you wouldn't come, so I lied and said I would. It was wrong of me. But everything I said is true. Now you can see for yourself, this place has truly become a home, and I don't want to lose it. So please help me."
After Ye Yunyi finished speaking, she bowed to Dr. Shen again.
Seeing Ye Yunyi's serious expression, Shen Lingdu thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be this. He said casually, "Saving lives is the duty of every doctor. Since I'm already on your pirate ship, I guess we'll just have to stick together."
Hearing Shen Lingdu's words, everyone was overjoyed, especially Old Xu, who couldn't wait to run over and grab his hand to express his gratitude and respect.
After taking necessary precautions, Ye Yunyi, Old Xu, and Shen Lingdu went to Building 4 to visit the patients. Along the way, Ye Yunyi and Old Xu explained the progression of the illness, symptoms, treatment, and prevention plans to Shen Lingdu without any concealment.
Shen Lingdu listened quietly, affirming those who did well and offering supplementary information on those who didn't. The good news is that, apart from the five new cases last night, no one has been infected so far today.
Upon arriving at Building 4, Shen Lingdu meticulously examined and inquired about the condition and medical history of each person. He held the medical records previously written by Professor Xu in his hand.
He appeared relaxed while questioning and examining the person, but his brows furrowed once he came out.
"Arrange an office and a room for me here. I need to keep a close eye on their condition," Shen Lingdu instructed before going with Old Xu to discuss prescribing medicine.
Old Xu also asked to be given a room so that he could stay with Dr. Shen.
Ye Yunyi felt a surge of emotion. As a medical student, she felt honored to see such a doctor with such medical ethics.
Ye Yunyi tidied up the items as requested by Mr. Xu, and arranged for two volunteers to assist Mr. Xu and Dr. Shen, making sure to take good care of their health.
It must be said that Dr. Shen's reputation is well-deserved. After Dr. Shen arrived, he immediately prescribed a good remedy, both internal and external, and their symptoms improved significantly, especially those with rashes.
After several more days of observation and treatment, their condition stabilized, but Dr. Shen locked himself in the laboratory for a long time. Ye Yunyi didn't want to disturb him.
Seven days later, Dr. Shen and Elder Xu excitedly ran to find Ye Yun, saying, "They've figured out the virus; vaccine development will be quick soon."
Ye Yunyi was also very happy and asked, "What virus?"
“Half-corpse virus, there is no more suitable name than this,” Shen Lingdu replied.
“”
