The funny counterattack of traveling through time and space and becoming a vicious female supporting

Chapter 188 A New Dawn

Mo Dong and his team's round trip took ten days. During this time, nearly half of Nanyang Prefecture's population had been poisoned, and the streets were filled with a tense and desperate atmosphere. The patients' condition worsened, some even collapsed in the streets, and the agonized wails of pain echoed one after another. At night, cries and cries for help continued to fill the air, and the entire city was shrouded in panic. Lu Linger peered out the window and saw the patients in the isolation area, some pale, others trembling, a heartbreaking sight.

"Time waits for no one. We must find the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." She was secretly anxious.

At the same time, the Jiuyou Medical Sect's Master Jiuming and Elder Changfeng arrived in Nanyang City, leading their disciples and over a hundred carriages laden with plague-fighting herbs. Wen Yuan, acting prefect, quickly arranged for the herbs and doctors to be relocated to vacant old schools and dilapidated temples throughout the city. He, Feng Xinying, and Lu Ling'er worked closely together to decisively isolate those who had fallen ill and those showing initial symptoms to prevent further infection.

"Order must be maintained," Wen Yuan said seriously, "If we let them mix together, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Male doctors, please carefully examine the female patient." Feng Xinying busied herself with arranging the doctors' work. Meanwhile, Lu Ling'er was researching prescriptions, while Feng Jingxuan, the Crown Prince of Zhennan, was overseeing the affairs of Nanyang Prefecture. Nie Yuan, the commander of the defense forces, was arranging order and patient accommodations after the city's lockdown. Gu Yichen, leading the Taoyuan Villa transport team and the Qingyun Pavilion staff, was constantly transporting food and medicinal herbs into the city.

The temporary patient accommodation area was in good order, and the patients and those with initial symptoms were properly cared for. Doctors were busy day and night, striving to hold on to the last glimmer of hope in the face of the plague.

Ten days later, Mo Dong, along with Mo Yan, Mo Xian, Mo Nan, Mo Xi, Mo Bei, Bai Yu, and Bai He, along with fifty black-armored cavalrymen, finally returned to the city, carrying the precious Soul-Devouring Blue Ice Flower. The team was dusty and exhausted, but each one's eyes shone with determination and hope. They knew time was running out and the patient's condition could deteriorate at any moment.

"We must act quickly," Mo Dong whispered to his companions, his heart filled with anxiety. They knew these herbs would be the key to saving the people in the city.

Upon returning to the city, Mo Dong immediately handed the Soul-Devouring Blue Ice Flower to Lu Ling'er, and the two began brewing the antidote according to the prescription. Lu Ling'er's hands were shaking, but she forced herself to remain calm, took a deep breath, and repeated, "There's no time to waste. The medicine must take effect immediately."

Meanwhile, doctors in old schools and dilapidated temples busily distributed medicinal herbs and treated the sick. Wen Yuan's arrangements helped the city maintain order and hope despite the disaster. However, as time passed, the patients' conditions remained dire, and the shortage of medicine put immense pressure on every doctor.

In the temporary hospitalization area, Feng Xinying and Wen Yuan made continuous rounds to ensure that every patient received timely treatment. Feng Xinying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw some patients' complexions gradually improve, but she also secretly worried about whether the antidote would be effective.

"Whether these herbs can cure the patients is really an unknown." Wen Yuan frowned and said with a worried look on his face.

"But we must believe we have a chance," Feng Xinying said firmly, though her voice couldn't conceal her inner fatigue. At this moment, she called the women in the capital and led them to make masks together. "We need to make as many as we can. Saving lives is our hope."

As the antidote was brewed, a rich medicinal aroma filled the air. Lu Ling'er carefully distributed the antidote to the patients, and everyone's eyes gleamed with anticipation and hope. Whether the antidote would ultimately work was the key to the fate of the entire city.

After taking the antidote, the patients initially showed no noticeable improvement. Instead, they experienced severe pain due to the drug's strong effects. Lu Ling'er nervously watched each patient's reaction, feeling both anxious and anxious, and could only pray silently.

However, after several long hours, some patients gradually began to show signs of improvement, their complexions becoming rosy, and their physical weakness seemed to dissipate bit by bit. Lu Linger and Wen Yuan exchanged a glance, their tension slightly relieved, and they revealed long-lost smiles.

"We succeeded!" Lu Linger couldn't help but whisper, a flame of hope ignited in her heart. Although the haze of poison had not yet completely dissipated, the dawn of victory had already appeared. The people of Nanyang Prefecture finally saw hope of survival.
