Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Peculiar Virus
"Oh, so it’s Doctor Liu. I’ve long heard of your great reputation. Alright, you know now—I’ll head over immediately to get it."
Liu Zheng felt that this person didn’t need to come to the hospital at all. Thus, his reputation could start to officially spread within the hospital due to the last time he treated those patients.
After a short wait, he took two test tubes and then headed straight over.
Liu Zheng simply took them, looked down, and saw two kinds of blue liquids. However, he knew that within this blue liquid, there was likely a very terrifying virus.
"Have you managed to isolate the bacteria?"
"We have isolated it, but it indeed took a lot of effort. Under normal conditions, isolating viruses and bacteria shouldn’t be this troublesome. We found that its adhesion to the medium is very strong."
"Being able to isolate it is already very good. Such things, when hidden inside the human body, are usually very hard to detect. So, do you have their arrangement? Also, I need to use the microscope."
"All the tools you need are here. Take a look at how to operate them. Come on."
The doctor just glanced in that direction. Liu Zheng nodded and then took the two test tubes and headed straight there.
Although Liu Zheng was a doctor, he wasn’t particularly familiar with conducting such experiments. However, he had somewhat come into contact with them before, so the operation should not be completely unfamiliar to him.
After a series of operations, Liu Zheng finally finished his experiments and detection.
"Doctor Liu, how does it look?"
"I’ve never seen a virus with such an arrangement before. It’s quite unique. Conventional antibiotics and other drugs are totally ineffective against them."
"But the critical issue is that you indeed cured many people."
"Right, it’s possible that only the special medication I developed can play a key role against these things. Later, let’s go back to your office to talk."
He gave Director Xiao a look, Director Xiao nodded, and then the two of them stood up and left directly from there.
"Doctor Liu, did you discover something?"
As soon as they entered the room, Director Xiao couldn’t wait to ask.
"Actually, it’s not so much that I discovered anything. I just feel that everything has a reason behind it. Moreover, the super-viruses in these two people are exactly the same."
"Yes, that’s what I told you before."
"Also, another thing we can almost confirm is that these two people hadn’t actually died. It was just a state of suspended animation. Plus, why would this virus cause people to enter such a state? Until now, I really can’t understand it."
"If it really was suspended animation, then why did they suddenly flee the crematorium? And after escaping, why did they return to the village again? What exactly is their purpose?"
After hearing this, Liu Zheng just shook his head. He had not yet figured out what these people wanted to do.
"I can’t even begin to imagine; nor do I know what’s going on. But, I have a bold guess. Could it be that they are truly coming for me?"
"You mean to say the old man and the young man are seeking you out? They’re just not able to make their presence known openly, and are being mistaken for a virus by others?"
"Possibly so, and if that’s the case, I suspect that even if they leave, they might continue to appear in the village. This is bad, I need to rush back to the village to wait for him. Since it is so, I must understand what has happened to them only after seeing them."
"Doctor Liu, this matter is of great importance. Look, should I go with you for assistance? Can you handle it alone?"
"They want to meet me, and as soon as other villagers show up, they immediately leave. It proves they don’t want to reveal their true identities. So, having more people would likely scare them off. It’s better to wait quietly at home. Maybe then all these puzzles will really be solved."
"Alright then, Doctor Liu. If you need anything, just contact me right away."
"Director Xiao, I must trouble you. This entire morning, I’ve been investigating this matter, but now we at least have a clue. Don’t worry. Once everything comes to light, I’ll be off then. I’ll head back first."
After saying goodbye to Director Xiao, Liu Zheng hurriedly left the hospital, then returned to his own small clinic.
By this time, it was noon. When he arrived at the clinic’s entrance, he saw someone waiting for him there.
"Uncle Er? What brings you here?"
This was someone from the village, and normally, it seemed that he rarely came here. In his memory, Uncle Er was a robust and sturdy man.
"Boy, I’ve been waiting here for half a day. Why haven’t you opened up this morning?"
"Oh, I got tied up with some other things so I was delayed. Come on in, it’s quite cold outside. Let’s talk inside."
As Liu Zheng spoke, he opened the door and led Uncle Er inside.
"Uncle Er, what’s the matter? Are you not feeling well? I remember you’ve always been quite healthy, so why are you suddenly feeling ill?"
"It’s not me, I’m fine. It’s your Auntie Er."
"What? Auntie Er? I remember she just has high blood pressure. As long as she takes her medication on time, there should be no problem. Where is Auntie Er now? If she’s unwell, why hasn’t she come over?"
"She’s not in a state to go out. I came to fetch you to have a look and see what’s wrong. Your Auntie Er has been acting as if she’s possessed. I suspect she might be bewitched."
"What are you talking about? Bewitched? Uncle Er, don’t joke around with me. How can someone be bewitched out of the blue? What exactly happened?"
"Yes, I thought so too. How can one be bewitched all of a sudden? But ever since she came back from the mountain yesterday, she’s been acting mad, talking to herself all the time, and no matter how I try to communicate with her, she just won’t speak."
