#894 - Chapter 894: Post-Disaster and Intuition
"We might have found a solution!"
Old Zhou happily reported to Qin Jin, who was waiting outside.
He didn't even bother to take off his research suit before continuing.
"That insect is extraordinary! We've extracted the necessary substance from it! I suggest we directly select infected individuals to use this purified substance!"
"The antidote is indeed within it!"
"Just now, we extracted an extremely small amount of this substance and it was able to deactivate the poison moth virus! I believe that using it on those infected will likely yield similar results! At worst, it won't be worse than the original guaranteed death!"
Zhou Qihang actually wanted to inject the extract from this giant insect into infected people on the spot!
If this were in peaceful times, he would probably be sent to prison by some human rights advocates.
But this is not the case now.
This is the end of the world, and if a method to save those infected isn't found, they will all die in less than two days.
These people can't afford to wait.
"Use it!"
Qin Jin approved its use on the spot!
What need was there for testing?
Simply select a few infected individuals for testing and the results would be known.
His cousin Zhang Jingchu was still waiting to be saved.
"There are still many things about the giant insect worth studying! This creature is absolutely magical! Its existence and body structure completely shatter many biological laws that we never dared to imagine before!"
"After solving the problem of the poison moth virus infected, I suggest deeply exploring the secrets of the giant insect! This may be another key to unlocking a new direction!"
Zhou Qihang excitedly suggested to Qin Jin.
In fact, there was no need for him to suggest it so strongly; Qin Jin, being a science enthusiast, would naturally not let go of this giant insect in the slightest.
Although it looked rather ugly, it was definitely worth studying.
This kind of thing might attract global attention in peaceful times.
The two did not communicate for too long. After initially confirming that the giant insect extract might solve the poison moth virus, Old Zhou quickly ran to handle the matter of treating the infected.
The analysis and research could be put off until later, but those infected could not wait even a moment longer!
Every minute that passed meant one more Green Source member might die, and the leader's cousin was also infected; this matter could not be delayed!
Qin Jin did not stay there either, intending to follow and see if the giant insect extract was effective.
The time came to around eleven o'clock in the evening.
Most of the Green Source base, which was in a state of panic, had not yet gone to sleep and rest.
Although they heard that the source of the poison moth disaster had been found, the small moths outside had not all disappeared. These poison moths, which had left their mother's body to search for flesh and blood, were still looking for food everywhere in Mentang Town.
Even though the base had placed many insect-killing artifacts, they still could not be completely eliminated in a short time.
It would definitely take some time to completely remove the shadow of the poison moths.
Most of the Green Source personnel stayed in their residences, carefully checking every door and window for loopholes, and whether there were any stray moths that had accidentally sneaked into the room.
No one wanted to be bitten or inhale poisonous powder in their sleep and become an unfortunate infected person.
That would mean becoming a pitiful ghost who could only wait for death with no cure!
"Hey!! Quick, look at the latest announcement just released on GreenNet!! The base has found a treatment method!!!"
"What!!? Found it!!!?"
"Look quickly! The newly released announcement says that many infected people at headquarters have eliminated the poison moth virus in their bodies after using the special medicine! As long as they rest for a period of time, they can gradually recover!!!"
"Headquarters has sent people to distribute the special medicine to every residential area! All infected people are about to get a chance to live!"
"That's great! Old Huang and the others don't have to die!! Long live the base!!!"
At this point, bursts of surprise suddenly erupted from many residences!
The night watchmen on duty did not stop them, because they also saw what had happened!
The base had found a cure for the poison moth virus!
Those infected were saved!
This news spread like a storm throughout the entire base!
The haze that had shrouded everyone's heads for several days was directly blown away!
As expected of Green Source!
They actually found a solution in such a short time!
As long as there really was a special medicine, then the poison moth virus would be nothing to fear!
Even if infected, they would not die immediately. After receiving the special medicine from the base, they could be quickly cured like having a cold!
Headquarters Branch Medical Building.
Qin Jin watched the gradual recovery of the infected people in several wards. After confirming that the giant insect extract was indeed effective, he ordered it to be taken to his cousin for use, and distributed to the infected people in the residential area for use together.
The giant insect had a huge body, and taking a little extract would not affect its life. Moreover, the infected only needed an extremely small amount to be cured, so it was enough to cover the hundreds of infected people in the base.
The poison moth crisis was about to be resolved, so he ordered an announcement to be issued to eliminate the anxiety in everyone's hearts these days.
He naturally knew how worried the base personnel were about accidentally becoming infected during this period.
Because even Qin Jin himself would occasionally become suspicious, wondering if any poison moths had sneaked into his sleeping and working places.
Although he possessed a certain sense of danger, he might not really be able to sense those tiny lives.
Removing the big stone in everyone's hearts would help the base quickly return to normal operation.
See?
After hearing about the appearance of the special medicine, those team members who were previously timid about going outdoors became much bolder, riding snowmobiles and roaring out.
Once those infected gradually recovered, it was expected that they would soon be able to resume indoor work.
This poison moth crisis was initially over.
His cousin was also about to be rescued, and his uncle and aunt could continue to have a loved one to live with.
The next day.
After the giant insect special medicine was distributed to all infected people, except for a few who were really in the final moments of entering the acute outbreak period, whose bodily organs had deteriorated and were completely destroyed and could not be rescued, all the other infected people gained new life!
Living Department.
Zhao Ling sat in her office to conduct post-disaster statistics.
Qin Jin left most of the trivial matters to her to handle. This strong woman did not complain at all; on the contrary, she had a feeling of being valued.
"This impact is really not small!"
"The final death toll is fixed at 201 people!"
Seeing the glaring number on the list, Zhao Ling couldn't help but sigh.
The end of the world was like this. Even Green Source, as strong as it was, still paid a heavy price when facing sudden disasters.
So many personnel had never died in multiple zombie tides and external battles. A seemingly ordinary biological infection caused 200 people to die.
It really lived up to the saying.
In the end of the world, human lives are as fragile as walking on thin ice.
"But?"
"What's going on with this No. 14 small residential area?"
"Why are the number of infected and deaths here so much higher than in other residential areas?"
"Even after the special medicine was distributed last night, two more people died?"
Zhao Ling suddenly noticed that the data was a bit strange when browsing the information reported below.
A woman's intuition told her.
There seemed to be a problem here.
