Chapter 1198 They're saved! They won't die!
Such efficacy left doctors speechless.
It should be noted that in the past, people who contracted the plague would be bedridden for at least ten days to half a month, and it would take at least three to five months or even a year and a half to fully recover.
But the prescription given by the medical sage, along with that bottle of unknown liquid, was able to make these patients who were about to die from the plague recover so quickly.
The doctors who came from several nearby states all came with the heart of a healer, and before they came they had all made arrangements for their families and prepared to die a tragic death.
Unexpectedly, the young medical sage possessed such a miraculous medicine, and the novel plague that had left them helpless for so many days was resolved as soon as the medical sage arrived.
"There's hope! We're saved! The people of Laishui County and Laiyang Prefecture are saved!"
Both the doctor and the patient wept with joy; they were saved! They wouldn't die!
Qiao Ran left behind the prescription and the toad venom, instructing the doctors to keep half of it to continue treating those who had escaped from Laishui County, and to send the rest to Laishui County for rescue.
After giving a brief explanation, he and Mo Beihan headed straight for Laishui County, the hardest-hit area.
In Laishui County today, some have died, some have fled, and less than two or three out of ten people remain who cannot leave.
People who have just died, rotting corpses, and even piles of bones can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
Even though Qiao Ran had been on many missions, traveled to many places, and witnessed many scenes, she had never seen such a horrific scene.
Her heart was unusually heavy.
Although she did not cause this situation, and these people's deaths had nothing to do with her.
However, as a healer, and a highly skilled medical sage at that, she deeply regretted not knowing about the disaster earlier. Otherwise, she could have rallied all the healers in the entire Great Yue Kingdom, and she could have arrived sooner to save many lives.
Upon seeing the first decomposing corpse, Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan put on protective suits they had obtained from the Space Town Hospital.
It wasn't that she lacked confidence in her medicine, but rather that the foul odor in the air would be inhaled into her nasal cavity and would also stick to her clothes and hair.
Moreover, they didn't know if the virus would mutate again, so in order not to waste the antidote pills, they should protect themselves first.
Their strange attire was something the people of Dayue had never seen before, leading those infected with the plague to believe they were seeing ghosts sent by the King of Hell to take their souls.
Some were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged, while others couldn't even dodge and could only wait in despair for the ghost messengers to come and drag their souls down to the underworld.
As dusk fell, at the Laishui County government office.
County Magistrate Cheng Shujin slowly returned from outside, dragging his heavy steps.
Several equally slow-moving constables followed behind him.
Their faces were ashen, whether from physical reasons or from the endless, despairing wait, it was hard to tell.
They had all been infected with the plague, and they knew they didn't have long to live.
But they still went out to run errands today.
They had run out of medicine; the pharmacies and clinics were all closed, and the owners and staff had either fled or were dead.
The few doctors who remained were also unable to find a cure for the plague, and many prescriptions they tried were ineffective.
When they went out, it was only to collect and bury the corpses to prevent them from rotting and smelling bad.
They just waited hopelessly to die, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps someday in the next few days.
They didn't know that what they did was to do as much as they could, even if it meant helping one more poor soul to be laid to rest.
It's just unknown whether anyone helped bury their own bodies.
As Cheng Shujin entered the county government office, she tripped on the threshold and fell forward.
"Lord County Magistrate!"
