Just as Li Lechen was thinking about it, he received a call from his mother, who told him that Zhou Mi had also fallen ill.
There is an incubation period for SW18 virus infection, which can be long or short. After the onset of symptoms, death usually occurs within a week.
Crucially, the process of dying is also very painful.
Li Lechen didn't have much time to consider or prepare other solutions.
Thus, after a cordial, friendly, serious, and tense discussion, both parties reached a preliminary agreement: the Resource Coordination Committee would be responsible for curing a patient from this era, confirming the effectiveness of the treatment, and then Li Lechen would provide a method for traveling from the future to the past. After further confirmation of the feasibility of the travel method, the Resource Coordination Committee would provide a complete treatment plan, and the cooperation between the two parties would conclude.
On the surface, this cooperation seems extremely advantageous to the Resource Coordination Committee. They only need to save one person to obtain the entire immigration plan, and only after confirming the effectiveness of the immigration plan will they provide a complete treatment plan.
In other words, if the immigration plan is ineffective, they can refuse to provide a complete treatment plan.
what does that mean?
It was an overwhelmingly favorable negotiation result!
So what is the Resource Coordination Committee dissatisfied with?
They were very satisfied!
Of course, to prevent the plan from being deciphered during the trial, the Resource Coordination Committee wasn't stupid either. They claimed they needed to test the infection level of the test subjects, and only those with an infection level below 80% could be treated. In this way, they naturally obtained a sample of Zhou Mi's blood.
Fortunately, Li Lechen had a good relationship with Wang Jin. He openly expressed his desire to participate in the SW18 virus research and to save his cousin Zhou Mi, and easily obtained Zhou Mi's blood sample while she was in quarantine.
Then, Zhou Mi's blood was quickly cloned, along with another sugar-coated satiety pill, which made up a complete treatment.
At this moment, Zhou Mi was in the isolation treatment room, coughing violently.
There is no specific cure; SW18 virus infections can only be treated with conventional influenza treatments. Treat coughs, fevers, and inflammations.
But in fact, none of the treatments could even slow the spread of the virus.
Therefore, Zhou Mi knew that her days were numbered.
Zhou Mi's mother fell ill earlier than her and has now entered the stage of coughing up blood and vomiting. While others can eat three meals a day, she is vomiting blood after every meal. According to the doctor, she has at most three days to live.
Zhou Mi's father is facing the loss of his wife and daughter in just a few days. Although his wife was remarried and his daughter is not his biological child, it is still a huge blow to him.
He had just gone to check on his wife, and her condition was very bad. Now he was fully armed and wearing protective clothing to visit his daughter.
At this moment, Li Lechen and his mother, who had received the news, also arrived. Thanks to Li Lechen's connection with Wang Jin, the two were able to put on protective suits and enter the isolation treatment room to visit Zhou Mi.
Visiting Zhou Mi was only one of Li Lechen's purposes; more importantly, he wanted to bring her medicine.
When Li Lechen stepped into the isolation treatment room wearing protective clothing, Zhou Mi, who was lying on the hospital bed, sat up with a "whoosh".
She stared intently at Li Lechen for more than ten seconds, then called out with a hint of disappointment, "Cousin."
Li Lechen felt a little lost, and for a fleeting moment, he had the illusion that Zhou Mi had been waiting for him to come see her. However, Li Lechen quickly attributed this feeling to the eagerness of someone who knows they don't have long to live to see their family.
However, with the promise from the Resource Coordination Committee, Li Lechen was still very confident in Zhou Mi, believing she would recover soon.
Wait a moment!
Li Lechen suddenly thought of a possibility.
His brows furrowed unconsciously.
The agreement was to provide a sample of the drug to test its feasibility. Since it's a trial, success isn't guaranteed. Although the Resource Coordination Committee claims they've conducted clinical trials with a 100% success rate, the two-thousand-year gap means that genetic mutations or environmental factors could lead to different treatment outcomes for the same drug against the same virus.
what to do?
Why isn't Zhou Mi given the first dose of medicine?
Although Li Lechen could obtain the complete treatment plan if the experiment succeeded, what if it failed? There was only one Zhou Mi; if she died, she would be gone forever!
Should we have someone else try it?
It's not impossible.
But if the treatment is successful on someone else, and there's a period of time to work around it, by the time we get the complete treatment plan, will it still be in time to save Zhou Mi?
Oh my god!
Why didn't you think of something this important back then?
Looks like we'll need to order a few more.
Therefore, although the medicine prepared by the Resource Coordination Committee for Zhou Mi had been posted on the official website, Li Lechen decided not to claim it for the time being because he needed to meet some additional conditions.
Li Lechen's additional condition was that he needed to successfully test the method on five infected individuals before he would acknowledge its effectiveness.
The Resource Coordination Committee agreed to the request without hesitation, because in their view, the virus would eventually cause 80 million deaths, so treating five people or treating one person was no different from an experiment.
However, the Resource Coordination Committee also put forward a new requirement: the five experimental reagents should no longer be directly listed on the official website for Li Lechen to pick up himself, but should be delivered to his door by a special person.
Li Lechen originally wanted to bargain, since the probability of being discovered was actually quite high if someone was suddenly teleported from the future.
The reason I accepted Lin Sen and Mo Longao's teleportation requests before was because I hadn't regained my memories. The reason I teleported F001 over was because of an emergency. Besides, F001 looks exactly like me, so I could easily pass off the replacement.
However, to Li Lechen's surprise, the Resource Coordination Committee directly designated F001 as the "person" responsible for delivery. As a result, Li Lechen didn't say the refusal he was about to utter.
He didn't want any more complications, and he couldn't delay any longer.
As the number of infected people in Leishi Village continues to rise, and more and more non-quarantined individuals are diagnosed with the SW18 virus, news has spread throughout Lingcheng and even several surrounding cities that a full lockdown is imminent.
A virus that has killed 80 million people in history is indeed a force to be reckoned with when it breaks out; it's not uncommon for it to turn dozens of cities into ghost towns.
Moreover, when that time comes, in order to prevent the virus from spreading, the government may very well abandon the hardest-hit areas.
Moreover, that day is not far off. After all, the HI25 virus only ravaged the world for less than ten years before being completely erased from the map, and only then did this history settle down.
This wasn't F001's first time here; he had experience imitating others, so Li Lechen wasn't opposed to it and didn't think too much about it.
Soon, Li Lechen opened a portal for F001.
