For three whole days, according to statistics, the number of patients who died due to organ failure in various hospitals in Wind City has reached as many as four to five hundred cases! People are still experiencing persistent fever.
It is said that this epidemic is ferocious and without any warning. The initial symptoms for those infected are a persistent high fever, followed by organ failure. In just three or four days, various complications arise due to organ failure, ultimately leading to death!
Once this news was exposed online, all netizens went crazy. This disease is almost like poisoning; before one realizes it, they are gone!
It’s terrifying!
To calm the public, the leadership of Xuanjin, led by Mr. Wu, held numerous meetings to discuss how to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Within one day, several batches of masks, disinfectants, and other preventive supplies were issued by the Epidemic Prevention Department of Xuandu City. On the streets, all the pedestrians wore masks, fearing that they might accidentally contract the dreadful virus.
At 4:43 PM, the first suspected infected patient appeared at a rescue station in Wind City. The Xuanjin Health Department officially announced the epidemic incident via news and named this epidemic—Plague Source.
The very name is somewhat frightening. The residents of Xuanjin were in a state of panic, speculating why Wind City had suddenly become so disastrous overnight. First, there were two major calamities that destroyed the entire city, and without catching a breath, ’Plague Source’ swept through the city, leaving countless casualties within just a week!
Since entering the hospital, An Yiqing occupied the hospital’s laboratory, observing patient conditions while studying the Plague Source virus, attempting to find a countermeasure. She divided the rest of the Medicine Sect disciples into two teams; one went to the frontline to assist with rescue, and the other stayed in the laboratory to study the virus with her. For days, An Yiqing led the Medicine Sect disciples in sleepless, continuous battle, conducting preliminary research on the virus’s preventive measures.
The Health Department once again announced the death toll of ’Plague Source’—six hundred thirty-one cases in Wind City! Other cities have already begun to see a few suspected cases, which are currently under isolation observation.
At this time, the Medicine Sect medical team led by An Yiqing was locked in the laboratory, tirelessly researching the treatment drug for ’Plague Source’!
On September 10th, three cases of ’Plague Source’ infection were confirmed in Xiayang City, the closest city to Wind City. The infected were three students from a key high school in Xiayang City, and all classmates and teachers who had contact with them were isolated.
The whole of Xuanjin was in a state of panic! Countless Xuanjin compatriots prayed for this disaster to pass quickly!
On the evening of September 11th, at 5:10 PM, the high school student who was infected first left the world due to severe organ failure when sent to the hospital because of a delayed discovery.
The entire populace of Xuanjin was deeply saddened, spontaneously organized to report collectively, requesting the leadership to resolve this epidemic promptly. Mr. Wu and others discussed tirelessly, and with Ye Chenghong’s approval, announced through Xuanjin news—currently, the epidemic treatment research work for ’Plague Source’ has been handed over to the Medicine Sect medical team represented by An Yiqing. They are endlessly researching the epidemic in the Wind City hospital laboratory. We urge the citizens to be patient and take preventive measures.
The emergence of An Yiqing brought a glimmer of hope to everyone, and gradually calmed the unrest among the citizens.
On September 15th, the medical team led by An Yiqing conveyed the message that the ’Plague Source’ epidemic had been preliminarily controlled. Many patients who were supposed to die due to organ failure are gradually recovering. This news brought a bit of dawn to everyone, and the anticipation for An Yiqing grew stronger.
On September 17th, Qin Feng, the new Xuanjin Star from the medical exchange competition, appeared for the first time from the laboratory. Facing numerous reporters and equipment, Qin Feng, who hadn’t slept for nearly ten days, announced with bloodshot eyes that the epidemic treatment research for ’Plague Source’ was entering the final stage and good news would come in a few days.
On September 20th, with bright sunshine, Wind City welcomed its first big sunny day after constant rain and disasters. At 10 AM, An Yiqing, along with the medical team, finally opened the laboratory door and stepped in front of everyone.
The treatment drug for ’Plague Source’ had been successfully developed! It has undergone clinical trials and achieved very good results!
