Chapter 1194: Chapter 1193 Xiao Qimo’s Thoughts
Lu Xi didn’t know much about this matter.
He lay on the hospital bed, shaking his head.
"Up till now, I only know that the people around me, including those from Sufeng Game Company and nearby residents, office workers, all have different degrees of conditions. Recently, I’ve been working overtime continuously, staying up late to revise plans, and my resistance has dropped a lot as well. My colleagues saw my severe condition and hurriedly sent me to the hospital."
After speaking, Lu Xi patted Lu Mian’s hand, "Mianmian, you still haven’t told me why you’re in the hospital?"
Lu Mian smiled faintly, "My friend Ya Ling, she works in the hospital. I’m here to see her."
"Oh, that’s good."
Lu Mian knew Lu Xi was concerned about her, and didn’t want him to worry more, so she didn’t discuss her situation any further.
She continued to ask, "Are there any unusual circumstances near your company?"
Lu Xi recalled carefully, "Apart from the people from Watson Laboratory suddenly evacuating, nothing seems to have happened."
"Watson Laboratory?"
——
At this time, the Xiao Family mansion.
Qi Zhen sat on the sofa, watching the news on TV, clutching her chest with a miserable look.
Xiao Huazun quickly came over to support her, asking nervously, "Honey, are you okay? Is your health alright?"
Qi Zhen’s poor health was known by everyone in the Xiao Family.
Over the years, Xiao Huazun has been meticulously and carefully taking care of her, fearing the slightest mishap.
Qi Zhen shook her head, pointing at the news report on TV.
"I’m okay. I just feel that their symptoms... seem quite similar to mine at that time."
Recalling past events, Xiao Huazun paused slightly.
He looked up at the TV, listened to a few sentences of the report, and hurriedly found the remote to turn off the display.
"Don’t watch this." The man shook his head.
Qi Zhen opened her mouth, her gaze complex for a moment, then nodded.
"Whether I watch or not is fine, the main thing is not letting Qimo know about this. I’m afraid he’ll..."
Qi Zhen stopped speaking at this point.
Only clutching her chest, coughing lightly a few times.
She felt that her breathing was somewhat difficult...
——
A radioactive leak occurred at Watson Laboratory.
Xiao Qimo not only knew about it, but had already arrived at the scene for investigation along with the criminal investigation team leader Wa Zhiqi.
They were all wearing radiation-proof suits, having found the culprit within this newly established laboratory: the radiation source.
Xiao Qimo looked at the radiation source, his gaze growing darker.
Wa Zhiqi was beside him, introducing, "This laboratory was founded only a few months ago, not long ago. But due to the Watson Consortium suffering blows, the laboratory’s funds couldn’t be sustained, and researchers directly abandoned this place and left together."
"And the project they were researching on hand also leaked due to careless storage, directly radiating the populace within a ten-kilometer radius. The closer the distance, the greater the impact, and the worse the physical condition. The people a bit further away were better off, yet also developed pharyngitis, cough, and difficulty breathing to varying degrees."
This was the situation Wa Zhiqi and his team had investigated.
They even called in professional researchers, who were completely clueless about the radioactive material, unable to discern what it was or what it was intended to research.
Only Xiao Qimo discovered familiar traces among these experimental tools and substances.
His ink particles were developed in a similar way back then.
"Mo Lord, I suspect they are conducting a mysterious study." Wa Zhiqi said this.
Xiao Qimo sneered, casually finger-touching those suspected dangerous items.
"Was it leaked due to careless storage, or deliberately leaked..." He couldn’t tell.
But he had sufficient reason to suspect that the Watson Consortium wanted to develop ink particles to jointly occupy this market with his Azure Group.
Ink particles were a new substance he developed years ago, capable of feats beyond imagination, its prospects and market are self-evident.
Azure Group’s main focus is future technology, the development of ink particles has also become a coveted piece of fatty meat for businessmen.
Coveting from the Watson Consortium is understandable.
But ink particles are also a double-edged sword, used well can benefit humanity, yet if something goes wrong during development, it can lead to uncontrollable consequences.
He’s not unfamiliar with such consequences...
His mother.
His Mianmian.
All were victims under ink particles.
Every time he remembered these, he couldn’t cross the mental barrier in his heart.
Wa Zhiqi circled around, upon returning saw Xiao Qimo with a somewhat grim expression.
"Mo Lord, have you figured out anything?"
Xiao Qimo shook his head, ordering to take some samples back.
Following the leak at Watson Laboratory in Jinjing, similar incidents occurred in several countries internationally.
This was not coincidental.
For a while, with Watson Laboratory as the center, the surrounding populace fell into great panic.
Whether in Z Country or internationally, special attention was paid to this matter.
Tracing back to the roots, the International Court ought to question O Emperor.
——
Inside the central hospital, all doctors were incredibly busy.
Tang Wenhui and Ye Qingsui were presiding over the situation, while all other doctors followed directives, fully cooperating with the Presidential Residence to treat the populace.
At this moment, Tang Wenhui was discussing treatment details with a group of doctors in the office.
A nurse came knocking on the door, asking, "Doctor Tang, reporters from Jinjing TV Station are here for an interview, the public is very concerned about this issue, wanting to hear the doctors’ opinions."
Doctors have the responsibility to educate the public on everyday protection, Tang Wenhui nodded, loftily gesturing to everyone.
"You all continue, I’ll be right back."
Outside the hospital building.
Tang Wenhui had just stepped out of the building when a pile of reporters surrounded her.
Led by journalists from Jinjing TV Station, all raised microphones, waiting eagerly and expectantly for Tang Wenhui’s response.
"Everyone, I shall first represent the central hospital to make a brief report."
Tang Wenhui was well-practiced in such interviews, spoke about the current state of patients, and elaborated on precautions for ordinary people.
Her science popularization task, thus concluded.
However, this issue greatly influenced the public, everyone was terrified, wanting to know more about if they were unfortunately infected by radioactive materials, how exactly should it be treated?
"Doctor Tang, for this incident’s victims, how does the hospital plan to cure them?"
Tang Wenhui silently pondered for a while.
She found it difficult to answer such questions.
Normally, once radioactive materials invade the body, besides relying on one’s metabolism to expel them, there is no better method. What the hospital can do is control the condition, helping patients accelerate their metabolism.
Yet faced with so many reporters’ inquiries, the public’s expectation, a thought gradually germinated in Tang Wenhui’s mind...
