Chapter 379 - 379: Looking For The Antidote
MO Ruyue also hurried over behind her. When she passed by Madam Bai, she stopped for a moment and said, “Madam Bai, I’m here. Don’t worry.”
“Lady Qin, I’m begging you!’
Madam Bai was so grateful that she shed tears. At this time, even if she was asked to spend all her family’s wealth to be Mo Ruyue’s slave, she would not say anything.
She had saved the entire family, so there was nothing she could not let go of.
MO Ruyue did not say anything and went straight into the tent. Not long after, Bai Shijiao and two other maidservants came out.
“Mother, Lady Qin said that she wanted to treat brother’s injuries and asked me to take you back to the tent to rest and wait for news.”
“What about your father’s medicine?
Madam Bai stopped mid-sentence and shook her head. “Look at me, with Lady Qin here, how could I forget these.”
Although she really wanted to wait outside the door, Bai Shijiao used the excuse that she had not recovered from her anger and was overworked as an excuse to bring her back to rest.
After the guards sent the people into the tent, they were also driven out by MO Ruyue. She had to immediately enter the laboratory to test the composition of the fungus, so of course she couldn’t leave anyone in the tent to watch.
However, there was no Gu Ying to help guard the door today, so the risk was a bit high.
She could only adjust the time in the space to avoid the risk. However, the babies were also in the space now. If she adjusted the time flow in the space, it would definitely affect them.
MO Ruyue did not want to affect her babies because of anyone, but this was an urgent matter. Bai Shiyuan’s significance to the entire Bai family was self-evident, so she should try her best to save him.
Just as MO Ruyue was about to enter the space, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps from outside.
“Young Master Ying.”
The guards outside the tent greeted the person one after another, and then the tent’s curtain was lifted.
“Ying, you’re back just in time.”
MO Ruyue let out a long sigh of relief. With Gu Ying outside, she could be completely at ease.
Although she might still have to adjust the flow of time in the space for the experiment, she could reduce the magnitude of the adjustment to the minimum, so it would not affect the babies too much.
“Yes. I heard the call of the wolf Dack and knew that something might have happened here, so I rushed back.”
Ever since Gu Ying had entered the mirror valley with MO Ruyue, he had become extremely sensitive to wolves.
The camp was far away from the town, and the place where Bai Shiyuan was found was even further away. By right, he should not have heard the wolfs howls at all, but at that time, the wolfs howls rang in Gu Ying’s ears, as if they were very close.
He immediately bandaged the injured man on his hand and then hurried back to the camp. He just happened to catch MO Ruyue who was about to enter the medium.
“I was originally accompanying Madam Bai, but the wolf pack informed me after they found Bai Shiyuan, so I brought him back. Fortunately, I made it in time, and he’s still alive. I used the vitality reinforcement liquid to protect everyone’s vitality.”
“Although these peoples external injuries were heavy, they weren’t fatal. However, at that time, their faces were already covered in a layer of black qi, and they weren’t far from death. I found some strange bacteria strains in the place where they were unconscious, and I suspect that they might have been poisoned by mistake.”
“I understand. You have to verify what’s wrong with these strains.” Gu Ying immediately understood what MO Ruyue was going to do next.
“Go in without worry, I’ll be outside.”
He held MO Ruyue’s hands and gave his firm support.
Because of her deep inner energy, her hands were always warm. Even in the cold of the snow, it felt like she was holding a pair of warm jade.
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
MO Ruyue smiled slightly. The two of them looked at each other, and everything was conveyed without words.
However, after the experiment started, MO Ruyue realized that she had encountered a tricky problem from the beginning.
The sample that was sent into the instrument showed unknown data and could not be identified.
“How did this happen?” MO Ruyue said in surprise.
The computer in her lab had automatically imported all the virus data, as well as the data of all the prescriptions and herbs that could be found in medical books, including the data of the virus toxicology experiments she had done before. It could be said to be a well-rounded database.
If she could find matching data in such a database, it meant that the fungi species did not exist in this time and space.
Thinking of this sudden meteorite rain, a vague idea suddenly appeared in MO Ruyue’s mind.
Could it be that the fungi were attached to the meteorites and brought to the surface?
However, what kind of fungus could still survive after experiencing such friction in the atmosphere and being burned at such high temperatures? This vitality was really too terrifying.
If that was the case, she had to find more samples to support her conjecture.
MO Ruyue didn’t hesitate to leave the space and tell Gu Ying what she had just discovered.
“Gu Ying, if my guess is right, then the natural disaster was only the first wave.
The next bacteria, or even other things, is the second wave that is even more terrifying.”
Gu Ying’s expression was also grave. After experiencing the technological boom in his previous life, they were very clear about what it meant to discover a new poison.
“I’ll go find a sample. Wait for me.”
Before Gu Ying’s voice had died away, he had already left the tent and disappeared into the night.
An hour later, Gu Ying returned with a jade box full of bacteria samples in his bag.
“Bing ‘Er, not every crater has bacteria, but they definitely make up a large proportion! Your worry might come true.”
Gu Ying’s expression was solemn. No matter how cold he was to others, in the face of such a disaster, no one could escape, his expression would still change.
“I’m going to speed up. This isn’t something that anyone can do alone. I don’t want to stay in the space for the rest of my life.” MO Ruyue said in a small voice.
Bai Jinshang and Bai Shiyuan were both unconscious, so she was not afraid that they would hear her secret. The guards outside were far away, so they had no chance to eavesdrop.
She took the package and was about to enter the space when Gu Ying pulled
her hand.
“Bing ‘Er, do you still remember the two beads I got? I don’t know the use of one of them, but could it be effective on this strain?
Gu Ying said as he took out the two beads.
One of the beads was obviously darker in color, and there seemed to be some cloud-like objects floating inside, which looked much more turbid.
The other bead was crystal clear and extremely pure green.
MO Ruyue’s eyes lit up.
This wasn’t impossible. That senior wouldn’t give him something useless, so this pearl might be of use at this time.
“But you can still use this pearl, so you have to go in with me.”
MO Ruyue’s brows furrowed tightly. She wanted to bring Bai Shiyuan into the laboratory as well. After all, he might have already eaten these strains and could observe the clinical effects of the experiment.
Although she had a good relationship with the Bai family, it seemed a little unreasonable to use Bai Shiyuan as an experimental subject.
However, there was a difference between being a lab rat and being incurable. It seemed that only the first method had a chance of survival.
“I have an idea!”
This time, MO Ruyue walked out of the tent and went directly to the tent of the Bai family’s mother and daughter.
“Lady Qin, you’re saying that you’re going to bring Yuan ‘Er to find the antidote?”
“But…” Madam Bai said in surprise, “He’s unconscious now. Won’t he be a burden to you?
What she didn’t mention was that there were seven or eight other guards with the same symptoms as Bai Shiyuan, who were also unconscious.. Could it be that MO Ruyue wanted to bring these people along?
