Chapter 789 - A Big Event (2/2)

After that, they gathered around Guo Tao and waited for him to wake up.

When Qin Haodong treated the villagers last time, the most serious patient returned to normal in half an hour at most. Sun Bowei had been infected with the disease a short time earlier, so it took him only 10 minutes to recover.

Because of this, they thought that Guo Tao didn’t need too much time.

But 10 minutes had passed, and then 20 minutes, but Guo Tao still did not respond.

Zhuo Bufan looked at Zhao Meng and asked, “What’s going on?”

Zhao Meng licked his lips and said, “Don’t worry, there must be no problem with our medicine. He will wake up in half an hour at most.”

But as time went by, 40 minutes had passed, and Guo Tao still showed no signs of waking up.

Zhuo Bufan grabbed Zhao Meng’s collar and said with bloodshot eyes, “Didn’t you promise me that this prescription is the one that Qin Haodong used? Why is it ineffective?”

Everything they had done seemed to have achieved an unprecedented success, but the final cornerstone was the prescription in their hands. If they could continue to cure the zombie virus, they would be fine, and they would be very happy.

But if they were at a loss for what to do with the zombie virus, they would be doomed eternally.

Zhao Meng said, “Director, I don’t know what’s going on either. This is indeed the prescription I brought from Old Sun, and it was written by Qin Haodong himself.”

“Then why didn’t it work?”

Zhao Meng thought for a moment and said, “It’s possible that Guo Tao has a special constitution. After all, not every kind of medicine is 100% effective. Maybe it’s just ineffective for him.”

Zhuo Bufan thought for a moment. Zhao Meng’s words made some sense, but Guo Tao was already in this condition. With his family background, if he could not be cured, the consequences would be extremely serious.

At this moment, the phone in Li Laogen’s hand rang. Two minutes later, he hung up the phone with a heavy look and said to Zhuo Bufan eagerly, “Mr. Zhuo, the county government just called us. After Niu Erwa and Zhang Dazhuang escaped from us, they went directly to Dawang Village, which is not far away from here.

“They bit and injured 18 villagers in succession, and then were killed by the armed police who rushed there. Now those 18 villagers have been infected with the zombie virus and are in a high-temperature coma. Please lead the expert team to immediately go and treat them.”

“Okay… Okay.”

Zhuo Bufan agreed with hesitation. He was no longer in the high spirits he had been in when he was on the TV show. At this time, he didn’t know if this medicine was effective for others.

If he could successfully cure these 18 injured villagers, even if he couldn’t cure Guo Tao, it would barely make sense. It could be said to be a special case. But if these 18 people couldn’t be cured, he couldn’t imagine the consequences.

The situation was urgent. Li Laogen directly called a few strong villagers to escort Zhuo Bufan and Zhao Meng to the nearby Dawang Village overnight.

Fortunately, Dawang Village was not far from the village government. It was about one kilometer away. Two hours later, they walked into the village together.

There were broken walls everywhere. It could be seen that Niu Erwa and Zhang Dazhuang had done a lot of damage to this place.

After entering the village, Li Laogen took them to the village government office. At this time, the village was completely under the control of armed police. They all showed their IDs and walked in.

On a large brick bed in the office, 18 infected villagers lay side by side.

The village chief was a skinny old man in his 60s. When he saw Li Laogen, he immediately went up to him and said, “Mr. Li, our village is in trouble this time. Hurry up and ask the experts to save us injured villagers.”

Li Laogen said, “Old Wang, don’t worry. The experts are already here.”

After that, he turned to Zhuo Bufan and said, “Mr. Zhuo, save them as soon as possible.”

He looked at Zhuo Bufan with a cold and mocking look in his eyes. As a front-line worker, he knew very well who had saved the previous patients.

However, as a humble village head, he could do nothing about the decision made by the higher-ups.

Zhuo Bufan gritted his teeth and went to the side of the big brick bed with Zhao Meng. Then, he gave the Super Antiviral Capsule to the 18 villagers one by one.

The only thing left after taking the medicine was to wait. As time passed little by little, the villagers who were infected did not react at all. Zhuo Bufan’s and Zhao Meng’s hearts gradually sank to the bottom.

An hour had passed, but the Super Antiviral Capsule they made did not have any effect. The villagers who were infected were still in a coma.

Li Laogen glared fiercely at Zhuo Bufan and then went out to report truthfully to the higher-ups. He didn’t dare to hide such a major thing.

At four o’clock in the morning, the whole capital was in the darkness before dawn, but the meeting room of the Ministry of Health was brightly lit, and the high-level officials of the Ministry of Health were gathered there for a meeting.

Gao Haiming, director of the Ministry of Health, was sitting in the middle. At this time, his face was gloomy. He originally thought that the case of the zombie virus had been completely solved, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he reported it to all of Huaxia, such a big thing would happen on the other side, which was several times more serious than before.

The other high-level members who were sitting around were all confused. They didn’t know why the minister had gathered them here for a meeting overnight.

However, there was one thing that was certain. Something big must have happened!

Shao Weimin was sitting at the end of the conference room. Although he did not know what exactly had happened, he had a hunch in his heart that the matter that made Gao Haiming so nervous must have something to do with the zombie virus in Wangshan Village.

As expected, after all the staff arrived, Gao Haiming said with a gloomy look, “Everyone, just now there was another serious incident in Wangshan Village. The details are in a fax from the Department of Sanity of Yundian Province.”

After that, he asked the secretary to turn on the projector and projected a fax report on the big screen. Everyone looked in the direction of the projection.
