Chapter 308: Chapter 308 Gradual Improvement
Now that things have developed to this point, it was impossible for him to conceal anything.
Regardless, he would definitely have a good talk with everyone.
"We should go inside to talk," he said.
After all, so many patients were watching out here, and if they asked here, it might cause unnecessary panic later on.
Hearing this, Old Chen beside him immediately nodded his head.
At this moment, Liu Zheng was also seriously observing the reaction of the person behind Old Chen.
He didn’t know if it was just his own misconception.
He always felt that the person’s complexion seemed to have become a bit uglier.
But this was merely his own guess, and he couldn’t be completely sure. He needed to ask properly to know the result.
Soon, the three of them entered the room inside.
It was evident that the individual seemed quite restrained.
Old Chen immediately began the introduction.
"This is an acquaintance of mine from before, you can just call him Xiao Xiao," he said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng also immediately introduced himself.
"As you can see, I am the doctor of this clinic, you can just call me Doctor Liu," he said.
Xiao Xiao also immediately nodded his head.
He looked at Old Chen, then at Liu Zheng.
Before Liu Zheng could speak, he seemed to have already guessed what Liu Zheng wanted to ask.
Then he sighed softly and said,
"You must want to ask about the old man, right?"
Before he had even spoken, the person had already taken the initiative to voice this.
Naturally, the person in front of him nodded immediately.
He was indeed very curious about the situation and wanted to understand exactly what was going on.
"Yes, as you can see, my clinic has seen a large number of patients in the past two days, and everyone has the same symptoms. In addition, the recent events concerning the old man in our street have also struck me as strange," he explained.
"The reason I thought of the old man is that during the circle inside, everyone except me had very severe symptoms."
"So, I wanted to ask you if that old man might have been carrying some virus, or if he had some contagious disease to begin with?"
Upon hearing this, Old Chen also opened his eyes slightly wider, as he had indeed never imagined that such a thing could happen.
He had thought it was just a minor issue.
But it turned out to be such a serious matter.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao in front of them also immediately nodded his head.
"Yes, a virus was indeed detected in the old man’s body, and we cremated him immediately, but..." he said and then suddenly paused.
Liu Zheng finally got the confirmation he was looking for.
So it really was like that.
No wonder he said that such a virus had suddenly become prevalent recently, and he had indeed never seen it before.
Moreover, his earlier guess was correct.
It was just not clear why Xiao Xiao in front of him looked so terrible.
After struggling for a long time, he finally uttered a few words.
"Do you have any patients here who have recovered?" he asked.
He did not continue on the topic that had just been discussed, but instead came out with this seemingly nonsensical question.
After hearing these words, Liu Zheng felt somewhat perplexed in his heart, wondering why he would suddenly ask such a question out of the blue.
Just as he had entered, he noticed that little Xiao seemed to be closely observing the situation inside the clinic.
But at that time, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Now that the question had been asked, it indeed seemed strange to Liu Zheng.
But no matter what,
he couldn’t possibly have anything to hide.
He immediately responded,
"Some of the patients with milder symptoms have already recovered, though there are still some with more severe symptoms who haven’t fully recovered, but they are slowly improving."
When little Xiao heard this, he was extremely startled and raised his hand to heavily slap the table.
"What did you say, there are patients who have recovered? The symptoms of others are also slowly improving?"
Seeing his agitated demeanor, old Chen and Liu Zheng were also somewhat incredulous, unsure of what he meant. Weren’t recovered patients a good thing? Why was he so excited?
"Yes, what’s wrong? What’s gotten into you?"
Liu Zheng immediately asked.
And old Chen also chimed in immediately,
"Yeah, you seem a bit off."
"How did you manage to cure them? We’ve had some cases in our hospital, but without exception, they have all died!"
"Not just that, we’ve found that this thing doesn’t infect everyone. Some people might get it if they’re susceptible while others can’t seem to get infected no matter what."
Upon hearing that many had died, Liu Zheng was completely stunned.
He had assumed it was just a minor virus.
Because there had been no fatalities under his care.
Moreover, some had even begun to get better.
Why was he saying that so many people had died there?
Old Chen finally seemed to understand the whole situation and was extremely surprised by it.
He looked at Liu Zheng with some disbelief.
"My God, you’re really amazing. I didn’t expect you to be so skilled in this area as well."
But now was not the time to talk about that.
Liu Zheng was also truly perplexed.
He was just a small clinic in the factory, and people from the nearby villages came to him mostly because they were acquainted and his was almost the only clinic nearby.
They were too lazy to travel to more distant hospitals.
For a moment, nobody spoke and the room fell silent.
Everyone was truly astonished.
After what seemed like a long while, Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"I don’t know, I really don’t understand what’s going on."
But to be honest, his medication was indeed completely different from that used in other places.
When he was prescribing medicine to these people, he did include some of his own researched drugs.
Others elsewhere certainly hadn’t done that.
Perhaps it was for this reason.
"What’s the situation with the infection over there? If possible, you could have them treated here; I should be able to make them better."
"It’s precisely because we haven’t found any solution that we in the hospital have been trying our best to keep it under wraps. Plus, since not everyone has been infected, only certain individuals, we haven’t been publicizing it widely."
