65 Rescue
◎Good morning◎
After the big monster died, without its call, the small monsters stopped moving again.
The players easily cleared out the remaining monsters and spread out to explore the entire floor -3. At the end of the westernmost side, they found a small control console.
Qi Qiuxue raised her hand to light up the screen, which showed that a card was required to open the interface. Qi Qiuxue placed the dean's card on it, and the screen began to flicker, with messy and irregular numbers flashing frequently.
Until the end, it stopped at this string of codes: [416782]
With a beep, the display screen moved downward, and a round red button on the innermost layer appeared.
"This is probably the control switch to open the door." Qi Qiuxue paused for a few seconds and finally pressed it. The next moment, a huge sound came from above their heads. It was the sound of the door slowly opening.
Success, I can finally go out!
At this moment, all the players present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back upstairs." Zhu Lan smiled with relief. "Now that the monsters have been completely eliminated, the hospital gates may be able to be opened smoothly. As long as we spend a little more time to facilitate the escape of those patients, all the missions will be completed."
"The time for us to leave this copy is very close." Zhu Lan said.
"That's great." Lu Jin sighed.
"I must have a full meal and a good sleep after I get out." Xu Gui has already started planning her next itinerary. She has experienced too much in the dungeon, and her physical strength and energy have reached the bottom. Now she is undoubtedly struggling to move forward.
"Me too." Lu Jin beside him smiled, as if trying to find joy in misery, and began to imagine what would happen after they left with everyone else.
Among the crowd, only Qi Qiuxue remained silent.
After a while, Zhu Lan seemed to notice something was wrong with her: "Zhang Xue, what's wrong with you?"
"What are you thinking about?" She asked, not understanding why Qi Qiuxue still had a serious expression. "Is there something wrong?"
After saying this, Qi Qiuxue glanced over and said, "...Have you really eliminated all the monsters?"
Zhu Lan frowned when he heard this: "Huh?"
Qi Qiuxue uttered a few words: "What about Li Yiqing?"
"Li..." Zhu Lan widened her eyes and realized belatedly that she had indeed ignored this issue from the beginning to the end.
From the time Li Yiqing was infected with the virus and showed an alienation reaction until now, they have never classified Li Yiqing as a monster. They have always believed that she is still a human being, a teammate, and a companion.
But objectively speaking, there was no fundamental difference between Li Yiqing and those monsters. The system's mission was very clear: they needed to clear out all the monsters before they could successfully open the hospital gate. However, at the moment, the conditions for opening the gate were clearly not met, unless...
"That is to say, we still need to find the antidote that can cure her in this copy."
"Yeah." Qi Qiuxue nodded. The others had already returned to the scene of the battle. Li Yiqing was still asleep and had not yet woken up. Wu Shanyue, who had been waiting nearby, quickly stood up and said, "You guys are back."
"Can we leave now?" she asked expectantly.
"Not yet." Qi Qiuxue explained Li Yiqing's situation to her, and soon Wu Shanyue began to worry, "Antidote... where can we find the antidote?"
"Let's go to the Biochemistry Department again." Qi Qiuxue lowered her eyes and looked at Li Yiqing's sleeping face, and said softly.
-
In order to prevent the wound from touching Li Yiqing's body and causing other players to develop infection symptoms, Zhu Lan and Lu Jin went upstairs to get a cart and carefully moved Li Yiqing onto the cart.
Afterwards, they took the elevator back to the 21st floor and walked into the Biochemistry Department.
Qi Qiuxue sat down in front of Professor Linda's computer again and found the locked file. She tried to enter the password she had just seen in the password field: [416782]
Surprisingly, the file was unlocked.
It contained Linda's speculation and understanding of the new antidote. During several days of blood sampling and research analysis, she discovered that the blood of the six experimental subjects seemed to contain a special factor that was different from that of ordinary people.
[This factor can attack and resist viruses to a certain extent, alleviating viral attacks and improving the degree of mutation. If used in conjunction with the antidote developed in the hospital, there is a high probability that common viruses can be completely cured.]
[Of course, for advanced viruses, a small amount of factors may not be enough to completely cure them. A large amount of factors combined with an antidote is needed to completely cure them.]
[All of this is just speculation. The exact answer will require repeated experiments and research.]
The corresponding ratios are listed at the bottom of the document. One injection of medicine that can cure advanced viruses requires at least 5ml of factors, and only 1ml of such factors can be extracted from 600ml of blood.
In other words, in order to completely cure Li Yiqing, at least 3000ml of blood is needed. Even if the blood that was previously drawn and not yet used for research is included, at least another 2500ml is needed.
Whether it can actually be useful remains to be seen.
Qi Qiuxue finished reading the document and glanced at the other players with a serious expression: "...Normally, the maximum amount of blood a person can donate is no more than 400ml. Even if everyone participates, the amount of blood required is far beyond this range."
"Furthermore, I know that after days of hunger, fatigue, and fighting, everyone's physical condition is not optimistic. Donating so much blood at once will inevitably have a great impact on the body. But in order to save our companions who have experienced life and death with us, I sincerely hope and implore everyone to participate as much as possible."
"But everyone can smoke less," Qi Qiuxue said, "and I'll make up for the shortfall."
“…”
She could actually go to such lengths to save her companions.
Zhu Lan looked at her in surprise. In terms of condition, Qi Qiuxue was actually the worst among them. She had a broken wrist and a persistent fever. Days of fighting had worn her out completely, making her look almost thinner.
But even so, she remained firm and strong. Zhu Lan was shocked that she had an extremely stable core and admired the decisions she made.
"..." After a long pause, Zhu Lan spoke first, "I don't know what others think, but I'm willing to contribute 500ml. Li Yiqing saved us all at the critical moment, so this is just a favor I'll pay her back."
"Me too," Wu Shanyue quickly replied. She was originally someone who was extremely afraid of pain, but this dungeon had hardened her. Pain and fear seemed no longer a factor in her life. "I'm willing to contribute 500ml, too."
"Me too." Lu Jin said.
Xu Gui was not willing to fall behind. After several days of fighting, they had already become a community of destiny: "And me."
After she finished speaking, Qi Qiuxue smiled sincerely, "Thank you, everyone."
"You're welcome." Zhu Lan walked straight forward and took out the syringe. This was the first time that they willingly took the initiative to draw blood. She distributed the syringes to everyone, and everyone drew blood one after another.
Qi Qiuxue took a deep breath, endured the strong dizziness and weakness, and quickly injected all the blood into the machine. As the switch was turned on, the machine quickly started to work, purifying the bright red blood several times, filtering out irrelevant impurities, and finally converting it into the required factors.
Just right, a total of 5ml. Qi Qiuxue continued to fuse the obtained factor with the antidote, and then injected them into the syringe and into Li Yiqing's body.
It was visible to the naked eye that the blue veins and blood vessels on Li Yiqing's face and body were gradually fading, and her skin color was gradually returning to normal.
Zhu Lan took the opportunity to pull open her eyelids and took a look. She was fine, and the color of her pupils had returned to its original state.
Qi Qiuxue took a deep breath and said, "It worked."
"That's great." Seeing Li Yiqing turned back into a human, Wu Shanyue was so excited that she wanted to cry. There happened to be a large number of bandages in the laboratory. She quickly took out a few rolls and hurriedly bandaged Li Yiqing with other players.
After doing all this, Zhu Lan was almost exhausted. She glanced at Li Yiqing, who was still drowsy on the bed, and said unhappily, "Wake up quickly."
"I'm almost exhausted. Get up and let us lie down for a while." She joked deliberately, and said a lot of nonsense but still didn't feel relieved. She glanced and happened to see the pen on the table.
"You've used up so much of my blood, is it okay for me to draw a few strokes?" She opened her mouth to seek Qi Qiuxue's consent. When she saw that she had no objection, she quickly came forward and drew a small pig's head on Li Yiqing's cheek.
"Is there anyone else who wants to draw?" she asked later. "Anyway, Li Yiqing is still asleep, and she has no idea who did this to her."
"Then I'll do it." Wu Shanyue raised her hand silently and drew a big bow on the back of Li Yiqing's hand. Then she passed the pen to Xu Gui tacitly, and watched her draw a rainbow on Li Yiqing's arm. Then the pen came into Lu Jin's hand. Lu Jin thought for a moment and drew a few ugly little people.
"Who is this?" Zhu Lan asked.
"All of us." Lu Jin said.
"?" Zhu Lan curled his lips, complaining about her painting skills. "I don't recognize it."
"Tsk." Lu Jin was too lazy to pay attention to her and passed the pen to Qi Qiuxue. After all, she was a designer, and Qi Qiuxue's painting skills were very mature.
She moved closer to Li Yiqing, lowered her eyes, and drew a lifelike golden retriever puppy on the right side of her cheek. When she finished the last stroke, Li Yiqing happened to open his eyes at that moment.
At this moment, her eyes met with the person in front of her. Qi Qiuxue was looking at her with a smile, her beautiful eyes shining.
"Axue?" Li Yiqing felt an itch on his cheek. "What are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything." The smile in Qi Qiuxue's eyes deepened. Even though Li Yiqing had woken up, she still finished the last stroke calmly.
"Good morning." Then she opened her lips and spoke softly.
