Chapter 750 (2/2)

On the road, Tang Xiu learned from the young man driving the bus about the situation of Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou who had also taken the preventive drug and was now studying the virus on the island and had not yet been able to find any anything from his study since yesterday.

After driving for more than two hours, the bus entered a rugged mountain road, and the bumpy travel lasted for an hour before they finally entered an olive green military camp.

Yang Chuxiong was the commander of the garrison. Despite being a division commander, his rank was Major General. This man was still young, 46 years old, looking sturdy and robust, and had the bearings of a brave, tiger general.

“Welcome, Tang Xiu.”

The first moment he saw Tang Xiu, Yang Chuxiong was slightly stunned. Though he received the orders from the superior leader that the name of the person who would aid them in the crisis was Tang Xiu, never did he expect that Tang Xiu was as young as the rumors said. Hu Zhenfeng might be unaware how great the achievements Tang Xiu performed before, but Yang Chuxiong had investigated Tang Xiu by using his privileges, and he could tell that Tang Xiu was not that simple on the surface.

Tang Xiu gave a slight nod in response and said, “Division Commander Yang, right? I already learned the current situation on Mist Source Island. It’s grave, right?”

“It’s far more than grave. It’s simply an indescribable mess!” said Yang Chuoxing with a bitter expression. “I’m afraid more than half of the hundreds of thousands of people on the island will die if you can’t solve the virus within 2 or 3 days.”

There are only 2 or 3 days of time?

“Where is Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou?” asked Tang Xiu bluntly. “Take me to him.”

“He’s in the temporary lab inside,” answered Yang Chuxiong immediately. “We have collected blood samples from the infected people and the Divine Doctor is currently doing everything he can to study the nature of this virus and trying to find a solution.”

Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu saw the legendary Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou, who was now wearing a white coat and a pair of white gloves inside a temporary lab. He was now observing a small piece of carrion with a pair of tweezers.

“Hello, Doctor. I’m Tang Xiu.” Tang Xiu walked forward and introduced himself.

Gui Jianchou was very thin, and his wrinkled face was full of solemnity. His brows slightly pressed after hearing Tang Xiu’s words, as he carefully scrutinized Tang Xiu and slowly nodded, “The Young Divine Doctor of the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, Tang Xiu. You have made those two conceited disciples of mine feel ashamed of their inferior abilities. Anyways, I have paid particular attention to some cases of your treatment, especially the acupuncture technique you used. It’s simply a technique that turns bad into good, amazingly powerful!”

“You’re overpraising me,” Tang Xiu politely replied. “Senior Gui Jianchou, since you came here ahead of me, could you tell me the results of your study and the situation with the virus?”

“I have encountered all sorts of diseases since I’ve begun studying medicine, but this virus is very strange. It has a wide range of transmission, be it through saliva, blood, air, water… any healthy person has the possibility of being infected as long as they are within ten meters from the infected. Of course, I have also studied Western medicine as well and have quite some achievements on it. Yet still, I find it very difficult to extract anything from this virus sample no matter what means I try. Furthermore, I’ve also tried over 100 methods, using massive medicinal herbs to carry out mixed research, yet am still unable to create an agent that can kill this virus. Its tenacity is way too strong.”

After a short silence, Tang Xiu took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Gui Jianchou, saying, “This is a medicine I refined myself. It has a good effect on tempering the human body. Try to put this into it, and let’s see if it has any effect.”

Gui Jianchou looked surprised, but still took the porcelain bottle and carefully poured a drop on the carrion.

Zzzt…

It was as though a strong sulphuric acid was poured on the carrion as it rotted at a very fast rate and turned into black water with a pungent stench.

Gui Jianchou’s brows knitted. He forced a smile and said, “Not only does it have no effect, but it also will make the infected die a violent death once used on them.”

Tang Xiu squinted his eyes. Then, he grabbed paper and a pen on the table and quickly wrote down a list of medicinal herbs’ names: Honeysuckle, Wild Lily, Venom String Seed, Black Scorpion, and Golden Cicada.

“Awu, come in,” shouted Tang Xiu.

Mo Awu pushed the door, came in and asked, “Any instructions, Boss?”

Tang Xiu handed him the list and seriously said, “Find these herbs immediately and send them to me as fast as possible. Ask aid from Division Commander Yang as he is more familiar with this place than you.”

“Understood!” Mo Awu took the list and left.

Gui Jianchou took back his vision from Mo Awu’s back and asked with a confused expression, “Tang… well, I’ll just call you Little Tang! Anyways, what exactly is this prescription of yours?”

“That liquid is a body tempering medicine, while the prescription I just made has the opposite medicinal property than the former. I just want to try to make the opposite medicinal property and see whether it’s effective on this virus.”

Gui Jianchou looked to be absorbed in his thoughts before he nodded and said, “The possibility is indeed quite high. I also refined medicinal herbs and prepared some medicines. After pouring it on the carrion, the aggravate decaying and corrosion did not happen. All things will develop in the opposite direction when they turn to the extreme, hence poison can be used to fight poison. Maybe the prescription you just made will have an effect.”

“I’m also trying anything in a crisis like this, so I don’t want to miss any possibility,” Tang Xiu forced a smile. “And to be honest, my medical skills might be special, but one thing for sure is, I admit that I won’t be able to match you at all. You yourself have yet to thoroughly study the nature of this virus, while I have yet to even study the medicine to treat the infected. Hence, what I just refined is perhaps no better either.”
