No matter how hard you try, you're still a step too late.

The Guangdong Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute was crowded with people seeking medicine in the haze. Coughs were everywhere, and droplets were flying everywhere.

A cordon was set up at the main gate, and armed soldiers were on duty. No one was allowed to enter.

Jiang Ning decisively turned the car around and went to the back door of the research institute.

She did not hide her worries and told the truth.

Without the approval from above, outsiders were not allowed to enter the research institute. Jiang Ning had to say, "I am Professor Ma's student. I was specially invited here. Please convey my message."

The person guarding the back door was from the research institute and ruthlessly rejected her request.

Jiang Ning smiled as she got out of the car. She took out 5 kilograms of rice from her large coat and secretly stuffed

it into the doctor's pocket. "Please help me, big brother. It doesn't matter if it works or not. I'll take care of it myself if anything goes wrong." Who can resist the temptation of 5 kilograms of rice these days? The gatekeeper risked being criticized to help her contact the doctor.

After waiting for half an hour, an assistant wearing protective clothing came out to lead the people.

The research institute was not big to begin with, and hundreds of cases were admitted at once, divided into latent, mild, severe, and critical cases. All the temporary wards were filled, and even the corridors were filled.

The haze came suddenly, and it was a continuous attack all night long. Not to mention the infected patients, several doctors in the research institute fell ill in the past two days. They were really busy, and many of them were working while sick.

But Ma Guangnian still arranged for Jiang Ning to come in and occupied two rooms in the family area.

There was no veterinarian in the research institute, so they could only treat the dogs as if they were human beings, and Ma Guangnian came in person.

He examined the two dogs and confirmed that their symptoms were very similar to those of patients with early infection. "There are mild symptoms. Fortunately, they were discovered early. The effect will be more obvious if they are treated in time."

Seeing that Jiang Ning and others had no symptoms, Ma Guangnian asked curiously, "How did you prevent it?"

"We planted according to the prescription you gave us before. Last time, I got the news from you and we took herbs to soak in water and drink them every day."

"Well, the prescription is effective. Whether it can cure the virus depends on the severity of the disease and one's own resistance."

Ma Guangnian instructed, "It just so happens that there are enthusiastic people in Fengcheng who donated a lot of prescriptions. Academician Li prescribed prescriptions for different symptoms. You can go to the office to get some and drink them. Treat the disease if you have it and prevent it if you don't."

Jiang Ning took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher Ma, how is your research progress?"

Ma Guangnian's eyes were full of bloodshot. "Traditional Chinese medicine has no specific medicine. It can only adjust the prescription for different symptoms. We are still exploring, but once the patient's condition worsens, the attack will deteriorate quickly, which is not conducive to clinical observation and treatment."

Doudou and Gouzi share a room, and she and Huo Yishen live next door.

The possibility of the two being infected is very high, but they have not yet had an attack, but they are both prepared in their hearts.

Seeing that Doudou and Gouzi's symptoms were relatively stable and they had no problem taking care of themselves, the two thought that it would be better to join the research institute's team instead of waiting passively for the disease to break out.

They were too short-staffed, and the haze virus was coming in force. If they waited for them to develop a cure, there wouldn't be many people left to die.

Since it was here, Jiang Ning wouldn't sit and wait for death.

The earlier it was developed, the earlier she could take the medicine.

She went to the office to get the medicine and drank it. She felt that the taste was not particularly different from the one she made herself, and she was sure that it contained the two most critical medicines.

After comforting the two each, the two planned to go find Ma Guangnian, but they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Lao Hu, "Jiang Ning, hurry up, give me a hand."

He was pushing a corpse and was about to enter the operating room.

Jiang Ning walked over quickly, "Teacher Hu, are you planning to perform a rescue operation?"

"What rescue? The person is dead." Old Hu explained with a tired look, "The virus spread too quickly, and the eyes of a Chinese medicine professor are not a scanning machine. The patient's oral description of the condition is often very different from the actual condition, resulting in inaccurate medication.

I plan to dissect a few corpses and get the most accurate data, which may be helpful to Lao Ma and others."

The surgeons are almost dying, and he can't handle it alone.

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate, "I'll help."

"Young man, you come in and give a hand."

Although Jiang Ning kills without blinking, when she saw the dead patient's chest cavity opened and the lungs full of holes...

she almost couldn't hold back vomiting when she turned around, and she took deep breaths repeatedly to suppress the stomach acid.

Huo Yishen, on the other hand, remained calm and quietly handed over tools.

After the visual shock, Jiang Ning immediately adjusted his mentality and followed Lao Hu's pace.

The master and apprentice worked together to dissect corpses one by one, and Huo Yishen filled in the details of the dissection.

The lungs of critically ill patients were corroded into sieves with many fine holes inside. The debris would be coughed out, and most deaths were caused by suffocation caused by coughing up blood. There were

no ventilators, no intubation for oxygen supply, no electric shock first aid and adrenaline, and everything had to be endured by the patients.

At the end of the day, I was so tired that my back and waist ached. Thinking of the bloody scenes, I had no appetite for delicious food.

The two of them disinfected repeatedly before returning to the dormitory. They immediately went to take care of the two dogs. Even if they had a poor appetite, they had to force them to eat, "Eat. Only after eating can you have the strength to resist the virus."

After feeding the Chinese medicine, they fed the Western medicine an hour later.

Doudou was fine. He was well-behaved and sensible, which made people feel distressed. It was the fragile dogs who loved to cling to people.

The life span of dogs is many times shorter than that of humans, and the drug treatments of the research institute are all aimed at human patients. Jiang Ning felt really bad in her heart. She gently stroked Kele's head and said, "Hold on. You will be with us for a long time."

The dog's eyes were watery and he kept staring at her.

Jiang Ning suddenly cried and hugged it quietly, "Coke, don't leave me."

The dog howled and rubbed against her from time to time.

For several days, Jiang Ning followed Lao Hu to dissect the corpse. From the visual shock at the beginning to the peace of mind later.

Who knew that Lao Hu was infected, coughing and fevering severely, he was no longer able to do his job.

Jiang Ning took on the responsibility temporarily and worked skillfully.

The two cats' conditions kept recurring, sometimes getting better and sometimes getting worse.

Jiang Ning was busy with work and taking care of the two cats, which almost exhausted herself.

She dreamed that the drug would be developed as soon as possible so that she could get it first. People were dying in the patient ward every day, and she was really worried that the two cats would not survive.

Fortunately, Huo Yishen was by her side, and they encouraged each other. They insisted on taking medicine every day, secretly injected immunoglobulin to increase immunity, and often held Korean ginseng in their mouths to replenish qi and blood.

People died every day, and Jiang Ning was numb to it. She went back and forth between the operating room and the dormitory every day.

On the sixth day, she had a fever and cough, and she always felt that her nose was dripping.

Work stopped, and she drank a few sips of strong liquor every day, soaked in hot springs, took Chinese and Western medicines, ate nutritious meals, and slept with a quilt rolled up.

Huo Yishen then developed symptoms, with body aches, fever and chills, and cement sealed his nose. It felt like a knife stabbed him from time to time, and the cold kept drilling into the seams of his bones.
