Chapter 188 – 188 Group Therapy

“Xiao Chen, you’ve just come back, and you’re not planning to return to spend time with your wife and child?”

Zhou Shengtao asked somewhat uncertainly.

Yet Chen Yu put on an air of righteousness, “Now that I’m considered an informal member of the staff, with such severe cases of food poisoning, I ought to lend a hand. Besides, I do hold a medical practitioner license.”

Zhou Shengtao looked at Chen Yu with obvious admiration.

“Good, then you follow us and go, too!”

Without saying much else, Chen Yu directly joined the relevant personnel and got into the vehicle.

After the system upgrade, the only way to accumulate points was to do good deeds.

He now had to test just how many points he could accumulate from various activities.

Besides, he still wasn’t very familiar with the system and needed to understand all of its attributes in the shortest time possible.

There were many rural towns on the outskirts of Suzhou City, and the one they were headed to was an extremely densely populated township.

The economic growth of this township was said to be the fastest in all of Suzhou City.

As they just entered the township, vast fields of cash crops came into view.

Moreover, the air here was extraordinarily fresh, and even Chen Yu greedily inhaled several breaths.

However, just as they were about to reach the residential area, they found many people collapsed by the roadside, clutching their stomachs in agony.

And their bodies were extremely thin, looking malnourished from afar.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown; he had never seen such symptoms before.

[System notification: all villagers are suffering from parafossarulus gland snail gland poisoning, and the host is advised not to consume any local water or food.]

Chen Yu’s eyes widened in surprise; he knew that the parafossarulus carried parasites, which at most entered the human brain and damaged nerve tissue.

As long as one underwent surgery, it could still be cured.

But looking at these people, it seemed like something had completely sucked away the nutrients in their bodies, and even their bones appeared broken.

Chen Yu put on a mask and got out of the car, helping up one of the individuals lying by the roadside.

After a quick examination of the patient’s body, he found that the person was filled with a large number of worm eggs, some of which had already penetrated the internal organs.

Chen Yu’s breathing became rapid; he had to cure these people in the shortest time, or else the worm eggs of the parafossarulus would eat them alive into skeletons.

“Ling Ling, do you have any treatment methods?”

[The illness is a variant strain of the parafossarulus snail disease, and currently, there is no effective treatment method.]

Chen Yu’s frown deepened.

“Then what do we do? Are we just going to watch these villagers die?”

[The only way is to find a method to attract the worm eggs out of the patients’ bodies.]

A rough plan then emerged in Chen Yu’s mind.

To Chen Yu’s relief, this time the system did not charge any points.

“Mr. Chen, how are things looking?” a relevant official hurried over to ask as they got out of the car.

“Tell everyone not to eat anything here, especially water, don’t drink it at all! Additionally, contact nearby towns to gather a large amount of pork and medicinal herbs,” Chen Yu said and then handed over a prescription he had written.

The worker, not daring to be negligent, took the prescription and drove off.

Basically, everyone in the town had fallen ill with the same disease, suffering unbearably.
