"You cured Xiaoxue?" Professor Wu asked after keeping silent for a moment .
"Yes," Wang Yao said .
"OK," Professor Wu said . "What do you need me to do?"
"I've tested the decoction on rabbits . It worked . I just need to test it on a human being . " Wang Yao took out two white porcelain bottles filled with decoctions .
"Leave it to me . " Professor Wu took the bottles . He had only come there because of the disease .
Wang Yao told him the dose and method of taking the decoctions .
Professor Wu didn't say much . He only stayed for a few minutes with his assistants .
He came in a hurry, and he left in a hurry .
"He's gone?" Wang Jianli asked with surprise . All the other people in the committee were also surprised .
"People from Beijing are so arrogant," a committee staff member said .
"I think he is just scared, so pretentious," another staff member said .
Wang Jianli looked at Professor Wu's back . "He's heading to Wang Yao's clinic . The sister and brother from Beijing also came for Wang Yao . "
Wang Jianli felt he knew less and less about Wang Yao .
"Is this person reliable?" Wang Yao asked in his clinic .
"Absolutely," Chen Ying said .
She knew Professor Lu well . He had a good reputation in Beijing . It was not only because of his medical skills but also because of his ethics .
"That's good," Wang Yao said .
A car was traveling fast on the highway . Inside the car sat Professor Wu and his two assistants .
"Where are we going, Professor?" one of his assistants asked . Both of them were a bit confused . They were heading to Lianshan town center, according to the plan, but suddenly changed plans because of a phone call . They were instead going to go there a few days later .
"Lianshan People's Hospital," Professor Wu said .

The two assistants were silent .
Professor Wu didn't speak either . He kept staring at the two bottles in his hand . The decoction inside the bottles was still warm .
What is inside it to be able to treat such a dangerous disease?
He was doubtful . But, Wang Yao had cured Su Xiaoxue, who had such a horrible disease . No one in Beijing could make her better, not even the best doctors . He was sure Wang Yao was a fantastic doctor . However, this contagious disease had just appeared and the bacteria was new to everyone . No one could create a cure in such a short period of time . He was not convinced .
Unless! Professor Wu's eyes were suddenly wide open .
"No!" He shook his head . "This is his hometown . "
The car soon arrived at the Lianshan town center . All the key personnel from the province, city, and county had also arrived . After all, Professor Wu was from Beijing and sent by the Central government .
"Let's get straight to the point," Professor Wu said . Whoever knew him well was familiar with his direct, practical, and efficient style . "Show me the notes for the patient . "
"I've got it ready for you," the manager of Lianshan People's Hospital said .
Professor Wu and his two assistants started to work as soon as they arrived at the hospital . They read the notes, went to see the patient, and checked Chen Jiagui's body .
"This is awful," Professor Wu said .
Although he had read all the information on his way to Lianshan, he was shocked by what he saw, especially when he saw Chen Jiagui's body . The bacteria was monstrous . It destroyed all the tissues of a human body and released horrible toxins when reproducing at an astonishing speed .
There were five infected patients . Two of them were dead . One of them was in critical condition . The other one was in maniac status .
"Is there any infected patients here?" Professor Wu asked .
"Yes, they just brought in one this morning," a hospital doctor said .
"Take me to see him," Professor Wu said .
"OK," the doctor said .
He took Professor Wu and his assistants to the isolated room . A man in his 30s being isolated in the room had started to show symptoms .
He was from Wang Yao's village . He just had his second son . He was supposed to enjoy his life . No one expected this . He wanted to survive and conquer the bacteria . However, life could be really cruel sometimes . People didn't always achieve what they wanted .

"Let's start with him," Professor Wu said .
"What?" the doctor asked .
"I need to go inside," Professor Wu said .
"OK, please be careful . He has started to show symptoms," the doctor said .
"I know," Professor Wu said .
The door of the isolated room was opened .
The patient in the room looked up at the doctors wearing protective garments . He wanted to run away but decided not to take the risk . He still had some sense to control his impulses . His eyes were bloodshot . Both his heart beat and temperature were abnormal .
"Hello," Professor Wu said .
"Hello," the patient said with surprise . He didn't expect one of the doctors would greet him .
"How do you feel?" Professor Wu asked .
"Not well," the patient said .
He was confused and agitated . He wanted to scream, run, and hit someone . However, he knew once he showed any maniac symptoms, he would be tied up and one step closer to death .
"Do you have faith in me?" Professor Wu asked .
"I want to live," the patient said without hesitation .
"Good . This is the medication . Drink it . " Professor Wu poured some decoction into a small bowl . The decoction had a stimulating smell . It looked brown .
Without hesitation, the patient drank it all up .
"As long as he is alert, don't take these off . " Professor Wu pointed at the devices on the patient's body that monitored his temperature and heartbeat .
"OK," the hospital doctor said .
Professor Wu left the isolated room .
"That was it?" another doctor asked .

"What's going on? What did he give the patient to take?" another doctor asked in in low voice .
"It looks like an herbal decoction," the other doctor said .
"Are you serious?" a doctor wearing glasses asked .
A few doctors who had witnessed the whole process were gossiping . They stopped talking as soon as Professor Wu walked out of the isolated room . Professor Wu didn't leave . He was observing the patient in the observation room .
"Is this gonna work?" a doctor asked .
"I doubt it," another doctor said .
The doctors were still talking . Professor Wu didn't hear their conversation, but one of his assistants overheard . He frowned . To be honest, he didn't quite understand why his teacher gave the patient herbal decoction .
They left Beijing in a hurry, but he remembered everything they brought with them . Professor Wu only brought a pack with books and paperwork . He didn't bring any herbal decoctions . Therefore, the herbal decoction had to come from the village . He believed his teacher went to see someone in the village, and the person gave his teacher two bottles of herbal decoction .
An hour passed .
"His heartbeat and temperature have become stable," a hospital doctor reported .
"What?" Professor Wu asked . "It worked?"
Although the patient's temperature and heartbeat were still abnormal, they had not gotten worse .
"Open the door . " Professor Wu went back to the isolated room .
"How do you feel?" he asked the patient .
"I feel sick," the patient said .
He truly felt sick . Something went up to his throat . He tried his best to suppress it .
"Drink this," Professor Wu said .
He gave the patient another bowl of decoction . He then went out of the isolated room to monitor the patient's data from the observation room .
Hmm!
At the moment, the patient felt extremely uncomfortable . It was as if two armies were fighting inside his body . It was not only in his stomach . He felt uncomfortable all over his body . He felt very sick .
Ew! He suddenly opened his mouth . A black fluid spewed out of his mouth . It had an unpleasant smell .
"Clean the room . Take a sample of what he vomited for testing . Check his heartbeat and temperature," Professor Wu said without hesitation .
"What? Now?" a doctor asked .
Professor Wu gave that doctor a serious look .
One of his assistants went into the isolated room first .
"How do you feel?" Professor Wu asked without looking at the black fluid on the floor .
"I feel better after vomiting," the patient said . He felt less agitated .
Professor Wu nodded . He then squatted down to check the black fluid on the floor .
The nurses came to clean the fluid and took a sample for testing .
"Gee! What the hell is this? It smells horrible," a nurse said .
The patient was still stable after two hours .
Professor Wu went into the isolated room a third time to give the patient a dose of decoction . The patient had drunk all the decoction from one of the bottles .
Professor Wu went back in to the observation room .
It started to get dark .
"Professor Wu, we've prepared dinner for you . Would you like to eat now?" a hospital doctor asked .
"I'll eat later . " Professor Wu shook his head .
"OK," the doctor said .
Another two hours passed . The patient's heartbeat and temperature started to drop unexpectedly .
"Oh my god! The decoction worked!" Everyone in the observation room was excited .
"Maybe it's just a coincidence," Professor Wu calmly said . "Continue to give him the herbal decoction . "
He only had a quick dinner in the observation room . This really impressed the hospital's medical staff .
