840: Chapter 834: Calming Elixir 840: Chapter 834: Calming Elixir “Duan Nan, immediately help me prepare aconite, variola powder, honeysuckle, Cortex Dictamni, scrophulariaceae…”
Ye Chenfeng listed a series of medicinal herbs names.
Now he had to hurry, if the patients in the Quarantine Zone Building completely lost their consciousness, at that point, even Ye Chenfeng would be powerless to help, and those patients would become walking corpses, leaving no choice but to blow their brains out.
Duan Nan, Lu Shengrong, and Cheng Yingxun were all elites in the medical field, and instantly memorized the list of herbs Ye Chenfeng mentioned.
Duan Nan said, “Master, I’ll gather these herbs for you in the shortest time possible.”
Ye Chenfeng nodded, then added, “The more of the herbs we can prepare, the better.”
“Chief Chen, have your policemen help with transport.
We must make every second count,” Ye Chenfeng told Chen Jianjun.
Chen Jianjun replied without hesitation, “Okay, Mr.
Ye, I will do my best to cooperate.”
“Mr.
Ye, we will go help too.” Nangang’s top official, Cheng Wansong, and his deputy, Xu Dongchun, also stepped out of the monitoring room.
Ye Chenfeng had become their only hope, and naturally their attitude towards him had become increasingly respectful.
As people left one by one, the once crowded monitoring room soon had only Ye Chenfeng, Wang Xingnan, Zhang Chengye, and Guo Mingliang remaining.
Ye Chenfeng had no time to deal with these three idiots, as his gaze stayed fixed on the surveillance footage, watching to see if the condition of the patients roaming the corridors of the various floors was worsening.
Ye Chenfeng had Duan Nan and the others prepare those herbs to concoct something called Calming Elixir.
The formula for the Calming Elixir derived from an era in Ye Chenfeng’s previous life.
When Calming Elixir’s scent was inhaled, it gradually calmed the aggressive mood of a person, making it a medicinal concoction that could control emotions.
At present, the patients in the Quarantine Zone Building with preliminary infection of Corpse Transformation Syndrome were in a state of extreme agitation; if their emotions could be suppressed, then the progression of Corpse Transformation Syndrome inside them could likely be temporarily restrained.
After further observation of the patients through the surveillance footage, Ye Chenfeng also left the monitoring room, leaving Wang Xingnan, Zhang Chengye, and Guo Mingliang by themselves.
Zhang Chengye, watching Ye Chen’s departing figure, was filled with unwillingness and anger.
However, he knew he couldn’t do anything to Ye Chenfeng because of his status.
He sighed and said, “Uncle, what should we do now?”
“Obviously, we stay and enjoy the show.
I wouldn’t have expected that kid to be so influential.
In the past, I might have apologized to him by now, but we don’t need to do that anymore.”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xingnan’s mouth as he continued, “The patients in the quarantine zone are clearly losing their minds, and they’ll end up like the zombies in the movies.
This virus is not something we can easily neutralize, especially when this kid has just arrived at the quarantine zone.
He doesn’t understand the prior virus deeply, let alone this mutated version.”
Wang Xingnan’s coldly smiling lips grew even happier as he said, “The worse they make it, the better for me.
No matter how powerful the kid is, he will have to bear the greatest responsibility in the end.
We won’t have to lift a finger, and he’ll be done for.”
After hearing Wang Xingnan’s words, Zhang Chengye and Guo Mingliang’s eyes lit up again.
Zhang Chengye’s resentment faded as he said, “Uncle, what if this kid manages to neutralize the virus?”
“Hmph!” Wang Xingnan snorted coldly, “Chengye, do you think this kid is a deity?
If he could neutralize this virus within a day, I’d say he’s the top in the medical field worldwide.
Look at how young he is?
Medical knowledge and experience are accumulated over time.
Even if he has some skills, in the face of today’s situation, he can’t change anything.”
…
While Wang Xingnan and the others were ready to watch the drama unfold, with the help of Nangang’s top two officials, all the herbs Ye Chenfeng needed were quickly transported to the quarantine zone, and Duan Nan and the others stood in front of the Quarantine Zone Building.
Ye Chenfeng had Duan Nan and the others prepare a giant iron vat and fill it with clean water; Ye Chenfeng planned to concoct a large vat of Calming Elixir directly.
Based on the proportion needed to concoct the Calming Elixir, Ye Chenfeng estimated the amount of clean water in the vat, and then he began to throw various herbs directly into the vat.
This confused onlookers like Duan Nan and the rest, who were authorities in medicine.
They thought that even if Ye Chenfeng was concocting an elixir, he should have crushed the herbs before mixing them into the clean water.
As they watched Ye Chenfeng toss handfuls of herbs into the vat, those around him grew increasingly anxious and panicked.
As for Wang Xingnan and the two others, they stayed in the monitoring room and did not come out.
There were no cameras installed in front of the Quarantine Zone Building, so Wang Xingnan and the others couldn’t see the scene where Ye Chenfeng was.
If Wang Xingnan saw Ye Chenfeng doing this, he’d probably scoff coldly inwardly and even mock him with his words.
Ye Chenfeng ignored the gazes around him.
After using up more than half of the herbs, he stopped and placed his right palm and left palm onto the giant vat.
The concoction of this Calming Elixir had to rely on Soul Force to be activated, which was why Ye Chenfeng directly tossed the herbs into the vat.
If the herbs were crushed and mixed into the water, one would never be able to concoct the Calming Elixir in their lifetime.
The most important aspect in concocting this type of Calming Elixir was using Soul Force to act as a catalyst to release the medicinal effects.
After placing both palms on the vat, Soul Force flowed from within Ye Chenfeng’s body into his hands and slowly permeated into the vat.
As the continuous stream of Soul Force entered, the clean water inside the vat began forming concentric whirlpools, and within these whirlpools, the various herbs were gradually ground up.
Of course, the people standing around Ye Chenfeng couldn’t see the changes inside the vat; after all, the giant vat was about two meters tall, and no one present was tall enough to see into it.
“Old Duan, what do you think Master is doing?
This method of concocting an elixir is so strange, don’t you think?
It seems completely unstructured,” whispered Lu Shengrong.
“Old Lu, are we not clear about Master’s Medical Skills?
Master wouldn’t be joking at a time like this; let’s just wait patiently,” Duan Nan said with a furrowed brow, his tone filled with confidence in Ye Chenfeng.
“Old Lu, Old Duan is right.
We’ve witnessed miracles with Master before,” added Cheng Yingxun.
As time ticked by, fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
These brief fifteen minutes felt longer than a century to Cheng Wansong, Xu Dongchun, and the others.
Their emotions grew increasingly tense, with fists clenched tightly and bodies trembling ever so slightly.
At that moment, waves of fragrance began to waft from the giant vat.
Upon smelling this fragrance, the nervousness and unease that everyone felt gradually stabilized; the sudden shift left many in awe.
They all realized the change was due to the scent of the elixir inside the vat, and as a result, all eyes turned to Ye Chenfeng.
“I understand Master’s intent, I understand Master’s intent now,” exclaimed an excited Old Duan.
“Old Duan, tell us, what exactly is Master intending to do?” Lu Shengrong quickly asked, with others also looking at Duan Nan in confusion.
Duan Nan patiently explained, “The patients inside the Quarantine Zone Building have become extremely agitated and restless as we can see from the surveillance footage.
The miraculous elixir Master is concocting can soothe various negative emotions.
You must have felt the change in yourselves when you smelled the scent of the elixir just now, right?”
“Master intends to use this elixir to calm the agitated emotions of the patients wandering the hallways of each floor.
It seems Master does have a solution!”
