Chapter 592: The Test at Night

“Again!” Wang Yao really wanted to try to use ordinary herbs to see if he could cure the disease, but it was not allowed under the current circumstances.

Forget it!

On Nanshan Hill, he transplanted the dandelions and foxtails he had taken out of the pit outside of the medicine field. These ordinary plants were quite vital and watered by the ancient spring water. With the rich nimbus there, they grew naturally much faster than others.

“Since I can’t try it on the patient, I can only trouble the bunny again!” His gaze fell onto the little rabbit that was quietly squatting in the stone cage.

It looked very sick and lacked energy. It had been like that since the previous night. At the beginning, it had been all right.

At first, Wang Yao could not figure out the reason. After he calmed down and thought about it, he determined it might because of the licorice roots he had planted.

Miasma grass could produce a unique aura to expel all kinds of insects. Xianqiuluo could also easily produce a unique smell, which could cause hallucinations, along with an accelerated heartbeat and nausea. People would have such symptoms, so it seemed natural that a rabbit, which had a weaker resistance, also would. It had survived until now thanks to Wang Yao feeding it some medicine in the beginning.

“Hold on! We have more important things to do,” Wang Yao said.

First, he had to boil down the medicine. It included scutellaria barbata, sophora flavescens, gentian, honeysuckle, and licorice, all of which were herbs had had previously selected, plus the transplanted dandelion and foxtail.

The firewood in the hut was burning hot and making crackling sounds. Using the multifunctional pot, he poured in ancient spring water. The medicinal herbs were added one by one. The medicinal soup was soon boiling. It gave off a slightly pungent smell. It didn’t take long for the soup to be decocted.

Next, Wang Yao had to give the medicine to a rabbit infected with the pathogen. How should I do that? Yes!

He had kept some body tissue from the crazy rabbit last time. He sealed it up and put it into the system grid.

With the introduction of pathogen, he succeeded in infecting the little white rabbit with the terrible disease. It soon it became ill.

At the beginning of the bunny’s attack, when it had just become a bit manic, Wang Yao began to force it to drink part of the medicine soup with ordinary herbs. The rabbit was very manic and uncooperative. It tried to bite Wang Yao but did not succeed. It instead broke a tooth.

Even if it was a crazy lion, Wang Yao could force it to drink as long as he wanted. So, a rabbit was no problem for him. After forcing it to drink the potion, he put the mad rabbit back into the stone cage.

Woof!

“No hurry, take your time,” Wang Yao said.

One person and one dog sat and watched the bunny’s reaction quietly.

...

In People’s Hospital of Lianshan County...

“The body temperature is 102.2 degrees, and the heartbeat is 90,” a doctor said. “It’s getting worse!”

In the temporarily prepared office, the medical experts from the province, city, and county were discussing the treatment plan. The province experts led the group.

“The patient’s condition continues to deteriorate, and his mood has begun to become irritable,” a doctor said. “According to blood test analysis, the pathogenic bacteria multiplied very fast and rapidly entered the blood, where the quantities of red blood cells and white blood cells drastically reduced.”

They could see through microscopic examination, within the range that the eyepiece could use, a large number of pathogenic bacteria. Its own cells that were good for itself, the defense cells, were rapidly decreasing.

“Let’s increase the use of antibiotics,” a doctor said.

In the current situation, they actually had no good way to deal with the situation. After all, it was a disease that had never been seen before. Plus, the attack was too rapid.

“Let me go. Why am I isolated?” Wang Jicheng roared in the isolation ward. His teeth squeaked.

He walked back and forth. His eyes were red, and his breath was fast. From time to time, he came to the transparent glass and hammered it with his hands.

“Use a sedative,” a doctor said. “Be careful. Don’t be hurt by him.”

The people who entered the room were all in isolation suits.

“Let me out!” Wang Jicheng roared again.

Once he saw people entering, he rushed up and nipped the neck of a doctor. Other people who came in together hurriedly held him down. His power of resistance was enormous.

“Sedative!” a doctor shouted.

The nurse quickly injected him with a sedative. He was still struggling and beginning trying to bite them.

“Be careful,” a doctor said.

“The sedative has no effect,” the nurse said.

“What?” The medical staff in the room were a little scared.

Crack! One of the protective suits was bitten open.

“Tie him up!” a doctor shouted.

A crazy person could unleash unimaginable energy and destructive power. The staff members in the room had to be cautious to avoid his bite, so the scene was a bit chaotic.

At this critical moment, two armed policemen wearing protective suits rushed in. With their help, they successfully tied the crazy patient to the bed, fixed his limbs, and stuffed his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue.

After finishing, the medical staff left the room and fell to the ground. They were tired and scared. Everyone was in a cold sweat.

“Are you OK? Have you been hurt due to the bite?” a doctor asked.

“No, thanks to the protective unit and the clothes inside,” another doctor said.

Every member of the medical team who had entered the isolation ward now had to be under 24-hour observations to ensure they were not infected.

“Why did the sedative failed?” a nurse asked.

“Sedatives act on the nervous system,” a doctor said. “Failure means that the patient’s nervous system has been partially damaged.”

“If that is the case, drugs such as sleeping pills would also have no effect,” the nurse said.

“Yes, but there is another possibility. Perhaps the amount of sedative was not enough,” the doctor said.

“We can’t use an infusion bottle,” another doctor said.

“It would have to be needle injection,” another doctor said.

...

In the medicine fields on Nanshan Hill, the rabbit in the stone cage began gnawing and jumping.

“No effect?” Wang Yao asked. “Again!”

He took the rabbit out of the stone cage. The rabbit stretched its leg and tried to bite something. Before touching Wang Yao, it was blocked by an invisible wall of Qi.

“Oh, be obedient.” He forced it to drink another part of the potion and then put it back in the cage.

The rabbit was still jumping. It was completely losing its senses, biting the stone, and hitting the stone cage with the head.

“It looks like it won’t work,” Wang Yao said.

While he was thinking of other options, the rabbit began to show some signs of calming down. It was hard to tell whether it was because it was tired or for another reason.

Seeing this, Wang Yao felt happy.

Ring!

He looked at his phone and saw it was his mother calling.

“Mom, I won’t be back for dinner,” Wang Yao said. “You and dad be careful.”

He then went back to watching the rabbit, which was even less active. It was still jumping and biting but not as frequently.

“It is effective after five hours.” Wang Yao sighed with relief. “It should mainly be because of the dandelion and foxtail.”

He took the rabbit out of the stone cage and fed it a small bowl of potion.

Wang Yao stayed on the mountain the whole day. Before he knew it, it was 11 p.m.

The rabbit gradually became quiet, but its body was very skinny.

“It’s finally quiet,” Wang Yao said.

Woof!

Wang Yao did not intend to sleep. He wanted to continue observing it.

...

Although the rabbit calmed down, the isolated patient in the county hospital was still out of control.

“Body temperature is 102.5 degrees and heartbeat is 100,” a doctor said. “The pathogens are multiplying, and the numbers of red blood cells and white blood cells are still decreasing.”

The patient, who was tied to the hospital bed, was struggling. He had injured the skin on his arms, which was bleeding.

“Be careful, the pathogens can spread through body fluids,” a doctor said.

For now, that was their preliminary conclusion. So far, all of their treatments had no effect. They now had no idea what to do next.

“Let’s think about it and have a meeting tomorrow,” a doctor said.

It would be better if the disease was just a malignant tumor. At the very least, it would not be contagious. Unfortunately, it was clear that this disease was highly contagious and horrific.
