In the afternoon, within the virus zone of the slum.
"The virus in his body is still unresponsive!"
Lin Dong watched as Wan Yunting, who was examining a severely infected patient, took the patient's left wrist to feel his pulse. According to the pulse, the virus within the patient's body was still extremely active.
"The dosage is too low!"
Li Yuxiu, standing nearby, judged and stated.
"Yes, their physiques are different from ours, so the dosage is a bit low," Wan Yunting said, releasing the patient's hand, standing up, and turning his head.
On the other side, Huang Hongying and Zheng Xuelan were also attempting to use a new drug they had developed, which also ended in failure.
Wan Yunting said, "It's getting late, let's go back to research the dosage and try again tomorrow."
The team leader Yang Heguan and Nie Xiaoyu nodded, immediately shouting to the others, "Withdraw..."
Thus, Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu, along with Huang Hongying and Lin Dongxiang, packed their things. Escorted by soldiers, they exited the slum. After a series of disinfections outside, they got into their vehicles and headed back to the stationed base two kilometers away. A hundred meters before the entrance, after another series of disinfections, they finally returned to the base...
After dinner, Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu continued to research the dosage issue, while Huang Hongying and Lin Dongxiang were also toiling away in the research lab...
The next morning arrived in a blink of an eye. Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu woke up early and started brewing medicine behind the mess hall. Simultaneously, the two had also devised a prescription for treating the Red Demon Ra virus and called Qian Jitong, the head of the medical clinic in South Africa, to immediately send the required Chinese medicinal herbs...
"Depart!"
Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu readjusted the dosage of the medicinal soup. Under the escort of Yang Heguan and Nie Xiaoyu, they headed towards the slum two kilometers away...
Huang Hongying and her group did not accompany them this time. Their research lab was also developing a drug to treat the virus, but it had not yet yielded results...
Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu wore protective suits and gas masks. Zheng Xuelan, Peng Yuxiang, and a few others also came to help. They found the same infected civilians from yesterday who had been tested, but two severely infected patients had passed away the previous night. Wan Yunting had to find two new subjects for testing...
After a full day of drug trials, a breakthrough finally appeared.
"The virus has been controlled. This time the dosage is correct!" Wan Yunting said with a smile.
Li Yuxiu nodded. Zheng Xuelan and Peng Yuxiang, who were following them, were delighted. Yang Heguan said, "So this medicine will also work for these foreigners."
"Yes," Wan Yunting nodded.
"That's great."
Yang Heguan and Nie Xiaoyu were happy about this. This meant they could proceed with using this medicine to control the infected civilians in the slum.
"It's getting late, let's head back," Nie Xiaoyu said, seeing that it was already 5 PM, and immediately signaled for the team to withdraw.
Wan Yunting nodded. He and Li Yuxiu packed their things and followed Nie Xiaoyu and the others out. However, Wan Yunting suddenly noticed something. He turned his head to look at a road to his left, where two people in white protective suits and gas masks were suspiciously watching them!
"Captain Yang, besides us, are there any other teams entering the slum?" Wan Yunting asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yang Heguan and Nie Xiaoyu also noticed the two suspicious individuals in the distance and shook their heads, saying, "Besides us, no one else dares to enter the virus-infected area!"
"Then who are they?" Peng Yuxiang asked, confused.
Seeing this, the two people turned and left.
Zheng Xuelan said, "They are probably virus research teams from other countries, right?"
Yang Heguan also nodded, "Probably, otherwise, normal people would definitely not dare to enter the virus-infected zone."
Wan Yunting nodded, perhaps he was overthinking. He continued to walk out of the virus-infected area with Nie Xiaoyu and the others. After disinfecting outside, they got into their vehicles and returned to the base...
"How was it? Was it successful?"
Luo Guowei greeted them at the base and asked Wan Yunting as soon as he saw him.
"Yes, it was a dosage issue. The medicine they were given today can control the virus's spread and deterioration within their bodies," Wan Yunting replied, carrying the disinfected medicine box with Li Yuxiu.
"That's great! I'll call the headquarters immediately..."
Luo Guowei immediately went back to inform the headquarters. Upon learning that Wan Yunting's medicine was effective on the local infected individuals, He Yongchang immediately relayed this news to the United Nations.
Instantly, the United Nations Secretary-General, Sterling, who was stationed in Mali, contacted the heads of the peacekeeping forces of various countries to convene a meeting. He Yongchang attended and informed the heads of the United Nations peacekeeping forces that they had developed a medicine that could control the spread and deterioration of the Red Demon Ra virus in the human body.
This was a major breakthrough. The peacekeeping forces from other countries under the United Nations were astonished and invigorated by this news.
During this period, various countries had sent virus experts to research the Red Demon Ra infectious virus, but none had made any breakthroughs, leading to a somber atmosphere among the United Nations teams.
The Red Demon Ra infectious virus was gradually spreading to other surrounding African countries, and even a few infected patients had appeared in Europe, causing tension among European nations.
Now, hearing that the Chinese peacekeeping forces had developed a medicine that could control the virus was undoubtedly excellent news that could uplift spirits.
The head of the French peacekeeping force, Henry Abel, stood up, looked at He Yongchang, and asked in French, "May I ask, Officer He, is your team confirmed to have developed a medicine that can control the virus?"
Through the translator beside him, He Yongchang understood Henry Abel's question and nodded, stating clearly, "Yes, our medical team can test the medicine on the infected individuals in the slum. It has been confirmed that it can control the spread and deterioration of the Red Demon Ra virus in the human body, and prevent mortality!"
"May I ask, can it eliminate the virus?" the head of the Egyptian peacekeeping force also inquired.
He Yongchang shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I believe that with everyone working together, we will soon be able to develop a medicine that can cure the Red Demon Ra virus!"
The heads of the peacekeeping forces from other countries present nodded. Some praised the Chinese peacekeeping forces, while others remained silent...!
"Officer He, may I ask which of your virus experts developed this medicine?" the head of the Indonesian peacekeeping force asked curiously.
He Yongchang nodded and smiled, "It's a Chinese traditional medicine soup developed by our Chinese traditional medicine team based on virus research."
"Chinese medicine?"
The heads of the peacekeeping forces from various countries present were surprised. Apparently, their understanding of Chinese medicine varied; some were completely uninformed, while others knew about it but didn't understand it, even saying, "Is it your Chinese miraculous witchcraft?"
He Yongchang looked at the head of the Biavi peacekeeping force and said earnestly, "Our Chinese traditional medicine is not the so-called witchcraft you imagine. Chinese medicine is a culture passed down through five thousand years of Chinese history, a treasure forged over countless years."
"I am very happy that everyone can try to get to know the charm of Chinese traditional medicine culture."
The heads of the peacekeeping forces from various countries nodded politely with smiles, but some still offered praise. For instance, the head of the Pakistani peacekeeping force praised the power of Chinese medicine and then asked, "Officer He, could you please tell us the name of the Chinese medicine expert who researched this medicine, so we can get acquainted?"
He Yongchang, however, shook his head and smiled, "I apologize, everyone, but our doctor does not wish to reveal their identity or name. I hope you can understand."
Everyone present exchanged glances, understanding He Yongchang's meaning, and nodded in comprehension.
Not only did Wan Yunting refuse to reveal his identity and whereabouts, but even He Yongchang and his colleagues believed that Wan Yunting's identity should not be disclosed to the public!
After all, the peacekeeping forces from various countries present were not truly here for the peacekeeping mission in Mali!
In the following days, the United Nations directed the peacekeeping forces from countries close to Niger City to cooperate with the Chinese peacekeeping forces in initiating a series of treatments for the civilians infected with the Red Demon Ra infectious virus in the slums of Niger City.
Concurrently, a large batch of Bai Hu Tang Chinese medicinal materials was transported from China. The rhinoceros horn, one of the medicinal ingredients, was eventually replaced with water buffalo horn after research by Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu.
Although the effect was not comparable to rhinoceros horn, Wan Yunting added another ingredient, and its effect was even better than Bai Hu Tang with rhinoceros horn.
Under the command of the United Nations, the peacekeeping forces from several other countries cooperated with the Chinese peacekeeping forces to carry out a series of clean-up operations in the virus-infected areas of the slums, dealing with the casually discarded corpses to prevent further spread of the virus.
With Wan Yunting's medicine, the infected civilians were temporarily brought under control, and the mortality rate also decreased.
However, thousands of people still died every day, as the medicine was ineffective for severely infected individuals.
Therefore, during this period, Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu were researching another prescription to treat the Red Demon Ra infectious virus. They had also tested the medicine on infected soldiers at the base, but it had not yet been successful.
Wan Yunting had now been in Africa for more than ten days.
Meanwhile, in Beijing, China, international news reported on the virus epidemic in Mali, Africa. However, most Chinese people paid little attention to such international news, as the Red Demon Ra infectious virus had not appeared in China.
However, some people saw the news reports stating that Chinese traditional medicine had controlled the Red Demon Ra virus and reduced the mortality rate of infected individuals. This immediately caused the Chinese traditional medicine community to become abuzz with discussion.
"Who could it be?"
"I don't know, the news didn't say who it was!"
"It's really strange. All the renowned doctors of Chinese medicine are in China, so who went to Mali, Africa?"
The issue was continuously discussed within the Chinese traditional medicine community...
At this moment, on Pinghe Street, the Xiuyuantang was still under renovation.
Liu Ping Tang.
Liu Yuan, Tian Xiangrong, Zhang Shunchang, Xue Tonghua, Liu He, and Xue Xialan also arrived. The group sat in the tea room on the third floor, drinking tea and discussing this topic.
"I heard that the Red Demon Ra infectious virus is a highly virulent virus with extremely strong infectivity. Who is this divine person who went to Mali, Africa?" Zhang Shunchang asked curiously.
Xue Tonghua, Tian Xiangrong, and the others were also puzzled and curious. Zhang Shunchang thought of something and speculated, "Could it be Wan Yunting?"
"It can't be him."
Liu He waved his hand and said, "The day before yesterday, I saw news reports saying that Wan Yunting was traveling to the Forbidden City with his wife and daughter. He is in Beijing."
Tian Xiangrong said strangely, "Wan Yunting has appeared in public very little recently."
"Yes, ever since his medical clinic was burned down, we haven't seen him. What is that kid up to hiding at home?" Xue Tonghua also asked, bewildered.
Liu He shook his head slightly and said, "In any case, Wan Yunting is in Beijing. However, Li Yuxiu is not!"
"Could it be that Li Yuxiu went to Mali, Africa?" Zhang Shunchang exclaimed.
Tian Xiangrong nodded and said, "If it were Li Yuxiu, it wouldn't be surprising, after all, her medical skills were already superior to ours, which is universally acknowledged."
Xue Tonghua said, "If it were Li Yuxiu, why didn't the news report on her?"
Liu Yuan said, "That remains unknown. Perhaps the country wants to protect her safety abroad. In any case, it's not Wan Yunting!"
Liu He and Xue Xialan nodded, thinking that if it was Wan Yunting who used Chinese medicine to control the infected people with the Red Demon Ra virus in Mali, Africa, it would be a good thing for them...
