Chapter 435 The Origin of the Virus
Seeing his adorable appearance, Xia Linglong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After her high fever subsided, she felt refreshed and even had the urge to get out of bed and walk.
Lin Ping's face was still tense. He knew that the fever was only temporary and that Xia Linglong could have a fever again at any time if the disease was not cured.
As soon as he entered, Lin Ping turned on the microscope and clearly saw some ferocious-looking viruses permeating the air.
The virus was most prevalent not in Xia Linglong's body, but in a wooden box by her bedside.
"What is this?" Lin Ping asked eagerly.
"This is the medicine that Doctor Wu prescribed for me. He said I have contracted an epidemic and this medicine can cure it," Xia Linglong explained. She didn't know why Lin Ping had suddenly become so angry.
"I'm afraid the medicine is poison!" Lin Ping said with certainty.
Did your condition worsen after you started taking the pills?
Xia Linglong nodded.
She was well aware of her condition; previously, it was entirely due to emotional distress, but since taking the pill, her body had become noticeably weaker.
"This is the root of the epidemic!"
"Who is this Dr. Wu?"
A chilling killing intent flashed in Lin Ping's eyes.
"It's said to be the head of Yiyuantang." Xia Linglong was startled by Lin Ping's overwhelming anger.
"The head of Yiyuantang?"
Lin Ping was suspicious. The other party was of ordinary status, and he wouldn't dare to harm Xia Linglong even if he had a lot of courage.
He even suspected that Tang Tian's actions were unintentional.
"Is there anything unusual about this person?" Lin Ping continued to ask, not wanting to miss any details.
Xia Linglong recounted the events of that day in detail, but then, due to her weakened state, she began to cough violently.
"Hehe, it seems I really won't live for more than a few days!" Xia Linglong smiled faintly, without any fear in her eyes.
She was content to see Lin Ping one last time before she died.
Lin Ping felt guilty again. How could he have let Xia Linglong waste her spiritual energy telling him about her experience? He should have just asked Hua Feiying or Xia Yeran outside.
For a moment, Lin Ping fell into deep thought.
According to Xia Linglong, Tang Tian came wearing a mask, obviously out of fear of contracting the disease.
This further confirms Lin Ping's guess.
This so-called epidemic was brought by Tang Tian; his pills were mixed with viruses.
"You should rest well first. I'll take this pill back and study it carefully. Remember, you can't collapse before I come again!"
Lin Ping spoke in a commanding tone.
As long as a person's mind is strong enough, they will not be afraid of illness and can hold on for a few more days even when they are on the verge of death.
Developing a specific drug for the virus will take time, and Lin Ping was afraid that Xia Linglong might perish during this process, which is why he said those words.
"Oh..." Xia Linglong nodded obediently.
She didn't understand why she was so compliant in front of Lin Ping.
"Dr. Lin, how is the princess's condition?"
Hua Feiying, standing outside the door, asked anxiously.
At this moment, it was not only a matter of his life, but also of his reputation, so he had no choice but to be anxious.
"I'm starting to see some progress, but I need time!"
Lin Ping strode out of the princess's palace, eager to return immediately to study it diligently.
"As expected of a divine doctor, he has actually made progress!" Hua Feiying sighed with emotion as she watched Lin Ping's departing figure.
He knew Lin Ping was a calm and collected person, so having "some clues" meant there was a very high probability of anything happening.
In less than fifteen minutes, he was able to come up with a solution, truly deserving of the title of "miracle doctor."
Despite practicing medicine for decades, he had seen many cases of epidemics but still couldn't figure out the cause.
At most, one could say that an external pathogen has entered the body.
Lin Ping left in a hurry and didn't even tell Xia Yeran about the situation inside.
The more he acted this way, the more flustered Xia Yeran became.
Lin Ping was usually calm and composed, but now his brows were furrowed and he refused to say another word.
This fully demonstrates the seriousness of the matter.
Afraid of disturbing Lin Ping's thoughts, he remained quiet and escorted him directly back to the Lin residence.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Zhou Xiyin asked worriedly.
Even she had never seen Lin Ping so flustered.
"No one is allowed near the woodshed for three days!" Without saying a word, Lin Ping grabbed it and went inside.
Until a cure can be developed, Lin Ping must isolate himself to prevent more people from contracting the disease.
This is the bustling downtown area of Yingtian Prefecture. If the epidemic were to spread, it would be an unprecedented disaster.
Although Lin Ping hated some people to the bone and wished they would all be infected with the disease, he did not want to implicate ordinary people.
Thinking of this, he wished he could tear Tang Tian to pieces.
This scoundrel, in his sole purpose of harming Xia Linglong, disregarded the safety of the entire city.
If time weren't so pressing, Lin Ping wouldn't mind rushing into Yiyuantang and killing Tang Tian outright.
He placed the wooden box in the farthest corner, and only left after confirming that the virus inside had not spread outwards.
Researching effective drugs to treat viruses requires a lot of equipment; at the very least, some bottles and jars are essential, as are alcohol, tweezers, and gold wire.
It took Lin Ping an entire afternoon to prepare all the necessary materials.
He took a few pieces of dry food and went into the woodshed. No one was allowed to enter unless they came out on their own.
Zhou Xiyin could see how serious he was, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only anxiously stay outside the area designated by Lin Ping.
Several kerosene lamps were lit in the woodshed, making the night as bright as day. Although not as effective as shadowless lamps, it was enough for Lin Ping to conduct his experiments.
Lin Ping put on a mask made of sheep intestines, carefully opened the wooden box, and inside a dark pill was constantly emitting viruses.
His gaze followed the viruses, and in no time, all the viruses exposed to the air died.
Anaerobic digestion is a common characteristic of most viruses. He roughly calculated that these viruses could not fly more than ten meters away after leaving the pill.
In other words, anything beyond ten meters is a safe distance.
Smelling the foul odor emanating from the pills, Lin Ping kept gagging. He truly didn't know how Xia Linglong had managed to swallow them.
Clearly, there was something unclean inside the pill.
Most infectious viruses originate from animals, and Tang Tianzheng extracted the virus from a dead rabbit.
Not long ago, while traveling around, he accidentally discovered several dead rabbits in the mountains.
These rabbits had no external injuries and died suspiciously, so he brought them back.
Later, Tang Tian discovered that someone who had been in contact with the rabbit had died inexplicably, and only then did he realize it was an epidemic.
He was afraid that he would also contract the disease, and spent a long half month in fear. However, he did not show any signs of illness, and only then did he feel at ease.
This successfully piqued Tang Tian's curiosity, and after numerous live experiments, he finally figured out some of the characteristics of the epidemic.
Although it is less contagious, it is highly lethal, almost 100%.
Using this method to murder the princess, one could naturally do so without anyone noticing.
"You bastard Tang Tian, I'll deal with you after I develop the medicine!" Lin Ping said angrily.
