Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: Special Ability Failure

"Alright, everyone, stop talking nonsense. Follow my instructions from earlier and start taking action now. We need to move all the sick villagers who are already showing symptoms into the cave overnight. Think of ways to clean up the cave a bit. The women’s director should also register the household situation of all sick families so we can disinfect house by house.

Let’s all get moving now. Director of Public Safety, you need to set off right away, immediately."

Mayor Ji Xiang looked at Ji Tiande, entrusting the entire village’s hope into the hands of this Public Safety Director. Only when he goes to seek help from the government, and they send someone down, will they stand a chance of being saved. Otherwise, how could just three doctors possibly treat so many people? Right?

Ji Tiande understood immediately.

"Don’t worry. I’ll set off with a flashlight overnight, Village Chief."

Everyone started to take action.

"What’s going on? My husband is still so sick, why are you taking him out?"

"Why take them to that cave? The wind leaks in there, and what if there are snakes, insects, or rodents at night? Wouldn’t that be even more troublesome?"

"Cuilu’s child is still so young, why are they sending them to the cave too?"

"What’s really happening here?"

"The Village Chief has already instructed to move all the sick people to the cave. There will be specialized doctors there to take care of and treat them. If you don’t take your family to the cave, then they won’t be cared for." The old soldier knew that these village women would hold on to these small matters and insist on getting to the bottom of things. If he revealed the real news, the whole village might go into an uproar.

Chances are, families would take off with their loved ones overnight.

To maintain calm, he had to come up with the best excuse. After all, in this area, not every household can afford a doctor.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard there would be doctors treating them, the woman immediately slowed down.

"Uncle Ji Hong, is it true that there’s no charge for medicine when the doctors treat them in the cave?"

Of course, the most important thing to them is whether the medicine costs money.

"Doctors will conduct unified treatment and examination in the cave. Of course, the cost is covered by the hospital. Isn’t that better than lying at home and dealing with it by yourself?" The old soldier had already started lifting people onto the stretcher.

The woman immediately stopped complaining.

Smiling, she said, "If that’s the case, then we should indeed go to the cave. Although the living conditions are worse and less comfortable than home, there are medicines there. Medicines will speed up recovery. Honey, you should go; you’ll even get more medication there. It’s free!"

The man lying on the stretcher, already feverish and dazed, didn’t know what his woman had said at all.

Just like that, when every household heard that patients would receive free medicine and treatment in the cave, nearly everyone cooperated and sent their sick family members over. Some people who weren’t even sick wanted to go, thinking it wouldn’t hurt to take the free medicine, and maybe they wouldn’t get sick in the future.

Mayor Ji Xiang was enraged, but he couldn’t scold anyone, so he had to explain that the doctors from the city would draw blood samples for every household the next day.

To conduct a simple medical check-up.

In the name of urban doctors offering aid in the countryside, they received this special treatment.

For a moment, every household was actually happy.

In their minds, when don’t you need money to see a doctor?

Now that the city doctors were willing to treat them for free, it was a huge blessing!

That night, the village was abuzz, but it was a joyful kind of buzz.

Who could have known that Mayor Ji Xiang didn’t sleep a wink that night?

Before dawn, Mayor Ji Xiang was already at the village entrance, watching the path outside while every household was still sleeping, only accompanied by the sporadic barking of dogs. Mayor Ji Xiang crouched on a large rock at the village entrance.

And that night, Bai Xiao and the others were also busy.

Dr. Zhang conducted blood tests overnight. Under the microscope, the virus was indeed exposed; it looked tiny and had no ability to engulf, but it had strong resistance to antivirals. Whenever it encountered antibiotics, the virus would assimilate and merge, astonishingly able to integrate with antibiotics.

Bai Xiao and the other two took turns examining patients, getting only three hours of sleep between them that night.

The young girl from the first victim’s family was unstable that night. Perhaps because she was too young, at just two years old, she had no resistance at all.

She cried all night, vomiting severely and was already feverish and confused.

Bai Xiao wanted to use her special ability to heal the young girl’s illness, but this time, it didn’t work.

It was the first time Bai Xiao had encountered such a challenge.

Her special ability wasn’t working. noveldrama

Bai Xiao was worried, spending the entire night by the girl’s side, experimenting several times until finally realizing that her special ability could only encase the virus, preventing further deterioration, but curing it was out of reach.

Her special ability couldn’t eliminate the virus.

This was probably the first significant challenge Bai Xiao had faced since her reincarnation.

Even her special ability couldn’t solve the problem.

Through repeated experiments that night, her special ability could act like an impenetrable wall, encapsulating the viruses, temporarily isolating them from the patient and alleviating symptoms, but curing them was impossible without eliminating the virus.

This virus was completely different from the toxins Bai Xiao had previously encountered from the foreign Head of State’s delegation. Although those toxins were exhausting to deal with, her special ability eventually eliminated them, albeit slowly and with significant energy consumption.

However, these viruses were completely different. She could only use her ability to enclose them temporarily, and once her ability’s energy was depleted, the viruses would break through again. It was the first time her healing ability met its match.

Bai Xiao furrowed her brow. This morning, she had checked on the little girl Yaya. She appeared to be sleeping soundly, and her fever had subsided significantly, but she hadn’t truly improved.

Now, she could only hope that the township government would send a medical team promptly because a large team of medical personnel was needed to decipher this virus’s code and develop a vaccine to potentially stop it.

It was daylight.

In the Karst Cave, the patients continued to moan from high fevers, and some were vomiting. Although they had disinfected the area, the smell was still intense.

Even with masks on and filtration, they still felt it was hard to breathe here.

Bai Xiao, Dr. Zhang, and Xiaoyu all looked towards the road outside the Karst Cave.

The three shared a common goal: the hope that the medical team would arrive soon.
