839: Chapter 833: All Hope 839: Chapter 833: All Hope Ye Chenfeng had confirmed that the version of the disease spreading through Nangang was a modified version of Black Death Syndrome.
The symptoms of Black Death Syndrome included gradual failure of internal organs, complete blindness, and eventually, the skin turning black throughout the body.
As the darkness intensified, it looked as if the patient’s body had been smeared with black paint, and at this moment, their life would come to an end.
In the surveillance footage, each patient infected with this contagious disease had their entire body black, with one of their eyes turning completely white.
These infected individuals wandered the corridors of the building, extremely agitated and restless, constantly opening their mouths, their teeth having become exceedingly sharp, their faces filled with a bloodthirsty expression.
These patients, wandering on various floors of the building, were in the final stage of Black Death Syndrome.
They should have been on the brink of entering Yama’s Palace, completely devoid of any strength in their bodies, yet these patients closest to death had come back to life.
Ye Chenfeng constantly adjusted the surveillance footage in the control room and discovered that only the patients in the final stage of Black Death Syndrome exhibited a mutation in the virus within them.
Those in the first and second stages did not show any mutation.
Every floor in the quarantine zone’s building had three intensive care wards, and the patients inside had all reached the final stage of Black Death Syndrome.
He estimated that approximately two hundred to three hundred individuals in the entire building had completely mutated viruses inside them.
Duan Nan watched the surveillance footage, steadied his chaotic emotions, and said, “How could this be?
Weren’t these patients in the last stage supposed to die from respiratory failure before?
Why are they now not only alive but also behaving in such a bizarre way?”
“Grandfather, don’t these patients resemble the zombies from movies?” Duan Tianrui interjected.
His words suddenly enlightened Ye Chenfeng, who recalled a bio-virus called Corpse Transformation Virus in the future.
Once infected, the patient’s consciousness would steadily be consumed, turning them into biochemical weapons craving only blood and flesh.
In Ye Chenfeng’s previous life, the Corpse Transformation Virus was developed by other countries.
To research the virus, an entire city’s population was used as test subjects, and soon the city turned into a city of the animated dead, completely sealed off.
Indeed, Duan Tianrui’s question was highly accurate—once infected with the Corpse Transformation Virus, individuals would transform into a zombie-like unique organism.
“We must immediately burn down the quarantine zone’s building.
I reckon that the patients inside will sooner or later turn into the walking dead.
If these people were to escape from the quarantine area, I fear that all of Nangang would become a city of death,” declared Wang Xingnan without hesitation.
Upon hearing Wang Xingnan’s statement, everyone fell into deep thought.
There were thousands of people in the building—burning them alive seemed utterly cruel.
Both Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun, the top authorities of Nangang, looked especially distressed; their wives were also infected and currently inside that building!
“No, this absolutely cannot be done,” Cheng Yingxun frowned and spoke out.
“Right, Elder Cheng is correct.
Apart from the patients, there are many medical staff in the building!
We didn’t have time to evacuate the medical staff, so now they are all gathered in the conference room.
Elder Cheng and I rushed out to report the situation to everyone,” Lu Shengrong also strongly opposed.
Hearing Cheng Yingxun and Lu Shengrong’s objections, Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun felt slightly relieved.
Cheng Wansong looked at Wang Xingnan hopefully and said, “Mr.
Wang, you’ve had some new breakthroughs with this virus, right?
I believe you must have a way to save the patients in the building.
If you are willing to help, my life will be at your disposal from now on.”
At that, Wang Xingnan shook his head without hesitation and said, “I don’t have any means to treat this virus.
Although I’ve made some new discoveries, I currently can’t cure this virus, especially now that it has mutated.
The only solution now is to burn down the building.”
“Wang Xingnan, do you not care about the medical staff in the building?
Shouldn’t we at least rescue them before considering what to do next?” Lu Shengrong shouted angrily.
“Wang Xingnan, I advise you not to waste time.
Burning those medical staff to death is the quickest way.
Who knows if this virus will mutate further?” Wang Xingnan said coldly.
“Everyone, stop quarreling.
Let’s listen to what Master has to say?” Duan Nan turned his gaze toward Ye Chenfeng.
“Yes, I almost forgot Master is here.
I believe Master must have a way,” Lu Shengrong and Cheng Yingxun showed a glimmer of hope on their faces.
“Duan Nan, Lu Shengrong, Cheng Yingxun, I don’t understand why you three call this kid Master?
We can’t be careless this time.
With this kid, whose skills are still immature, how skilled could he possibly be?
I firmly propose to burn the building,” Wang Xingnan said uncompromisingly.
“Wang Xingnan, watch your tone!
How dare you call our Master a whippersnapper?
In the field of medicine, you’re not even qualified to lick our Master’s boots.
Don’t think too highly of your own medical skills.
In front of our Master, you are nothing but a stink,” Lu Shengrong stared at Wang Xingnan and cursed angrily.
“Old Lu, well said!
This bastard whines endlessly.
What is he in front of our Master?” Cheng Yingxun chimed in immediately.
“Hehehe—” Wang Xingnan was instantly amused and said, “Good, good, good.
Wan Song, Dongchun, are you two also going to join this whippersnapper’s nonsense?
You should immediately call Chief Yu and report the situation here.
I believe he would definitely agree with my proposal.”
Ye Chenfeng stared unblinkingly at the surveillance footage.
Although he did not know why Black Death had evolved into Corpse Transformation Syndrome, based on his observation, the Corpse Transformation Virus had not completely overtaken the patients’ minds in the building.
Perhaps because the virus had only recently evolved, its effects were not yet perfected.
“I should be able to treat these people, but you all must fully cooperate with me.
We don’t have much time,” Ye Chenfeng said with a furrowed brow to Duan Nan and the others.
“Kid, do you even know what you are talking about?
Do you realize the consequences of what you’re suggesting?
Can you handle it?” Wang Xingnan said, sneering.
“Wang Xingnan, shut your filthy mouth immediately.
The international medical exchange this year was salvaged by our Master.
All medical authorities who attended the exchange bowed down to him, making him the highest authority in Huaxia’s medical field.
He is the foremost figure in Huaxia’s medical community, and if you dare to spout more rubbish, we can assure you that you will have no future in Huaxia’s medical community,” Duan Nan shouted fiercely.
Seeing Duan Nan, Lu Shengrong, and Cheng Yingxun so convinced by Ye Chenfeng gave Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun a glimmer of hope.
Both of them loved their wives dearly and naturally didn’t want to see them die like this.
Cheng Wansong immediately dropped his pride, and his tone changed when speaking to Ye Chenfeng, “Mr.
Ye, I, Cheng Wansong was rude to you just now.
If you can handle this epidemic in Nangang, I will immediately resign to take responsibility.”
“Mr.
Ye, I, Xu Dongchun feel the same.
My wife is also infected with this virus, and I can’t just watch her die!” Xu Dongchun said somberly.
“Master, how confident are you in treating this mutated virus?” Duan Nan asked tentatively.
“Based on the current situation, I’m about ninety percent confident,” Ye Chenfeng spoke.
Upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng was over ninety percent confident, most of the people present had their eyes light up, placing all their hopes on Ye Chenfeng.
