“Do not underestimate yourself, Little Tang,” Gui Jianchou shook his head. “Perhaps your special medical skills would become an unconventional approach and the very reason to finally find a solution. That’s right. I just had a new idea, we might as well experiment with it before those herbs are found and sent to you.”

“Please do say…”

Gui Jianchou explained his ideas, and the duo immediately started to experiment it. After a failure, they kept brainstorming, unceasingly doing experiments, proposing new ideas, and continuing the test on them and had more failures.

Time passed by.

The continuous research drained the duo, and as a cultivator, Tang Xiu was able to carry on the research for a long time. But Gui Jianchou was quite old, and despite having paid attention to the training of his body all these years, he still had to stop due to fatigue. He then went to the next room to sleep for several hours.

In the next afternoon.

Statistics on the deaths of the infected in Misty Source Island had been made. The number of infected who had died had increased to 562. At the moment the data was sent to Tang Xiu, Mo Awu returned with the herbs needed.

“All the herbs have been found, Boss.”

Mo Awu put two suitcases in front of Tang Xiu and then wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

Tang Xiu nodded and immediately began to refine the medicine. After refining for several hours, he successfully concocted a jet black pill. Under Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou’s gaze, he grounded the pill and then sprinkled its powder on the carrion. This time, the carrion did not appear to decay and immediately festered, and yet, it still had little to no effect on the virus.

“I just found a black line on the carrion after you poured your medicine powder on it, Little Tang. I used a magnifying glass to observe it, and it turns out that it’s composed of countless very tiny active particles and seems like they are alive. From the Western medicine perspective, it can be called as a bacterium,” said Gui Jianchou slowly.

Tang Xiu thought about it for a while. A bright idea suddenly birthed inside his head and he hurriedly said, “If it’s bacteria, or rather, viral bacteria, there are many ways to sterilize it. We can consider sterilizing it by using electric current.”

“Sterilizing it by using electric current?”

Gui Jianchou was stunned. He suddenly recalled something and then immediately said, “There was an eccentric doctor in Northeastern China 42 years ago. He was called Gao Yitong and invented this electric current sterilization method, using static electricity to encircle and suppress viral bacteria with the aid of alcohol and moxa-stick. He eventually succeeded in creating this very special method after his study, and even though only a few people use this method in reality, it has been spread to some mountainous areas of the Northeast Region since. I say let’s try it.”

“Let’s try it, then!”

Tang Xiu did think of testing it. What surprised him was that the after the next carrion was brought and the static electricity method was used on it, the black lines on the carrion continued to burn, turning into a black smoke with pungent stench, while the piece of carrion itself gradually turned bright. Through the following study of Gui Jianchou and Tang Xiu, it was found that the viral bacteria was unexpectedly suppressed.

“It does have an effect on it. But the fission speed at which the viral bacteria grow is too fast. Although this static electricity method can kill a large number of these viral bacteria, it will still be difficult to completely eradicate it. We can temporarily allay the death predicament for the infected by electrifying them. We can use this as a temporary suppressing action,” said Gui Jianchou excitedly.

“We need to find a living experiment. Also, it’s necessary to generate static electricity into the human body without harming their health. Only then can we try to use it on all infected persons,” Tang Xiu nodded.

“Yes!”

There were four commonly used methods in generating static electricity, which was electric charge migration, breaking electrification, induction electrification, and contact-induced charge separation. Among them, the most suitable method to be used on a large number of people was contact-induced charge separation by using objects made of chemical fiber texture such as underwear, carpet, cushion, or wallpaper, whereby static electricity would be generated and induced after the contact and separation.

Furthermore, household appliances also generated static electricity when used, or passed static electricity to its outer casing, such as TV screens or LCD.

Huff…

After studying this temporarily curbing plan, Tang Xiu did not hesitate to report the situation to Yang Chuxiong. After relaying the broadcast on TV, radio, and texts to mobile phones, the soldiers in the camp then rushed everywhere to spread the news…

The third night after Tang Xiu landed on Mist Source Island, the virus crisis had been temporarily solved, while numerous people who were dying finally hung on the death line.

The terrain of Mist Source Island had only four areas suitable for living, which were inhabited by the people who lived here for decades. There were also some villages on the hills, which, according to the official statistics, numbered up to 24 villages. Each village was inhabited by several hundreds of people at the lowest to several thousand people at the highest.

Python City, Wolfpack City, Twin Brook City, and Mixed Summit City.
