Hearing Shi Yiling's words, the box in the冥医's hands almost slipped. He said irritably, "I told you, it's for your safety and to reduce the pressure on our hometown."
"Oh."
Shi Yiling quickly nodded.
She seemed to have understood what was going on.
Something big must have happened.
And it was very likely related to this epidemic.
Could it be that a mutated, even more powerful virus had appeared?
Although she didn't know exactly what the 冥医's work entailed, she assumed he was on the front lines with the War God.
"Then be sure to be safe when the time comes."
"Alright."
...
Half a month passed.
During these two weeks, the Dragon Country underwent earth-shattering changes.
All cities were completely opened up, and consequently, the original illness was treated as a slightly more severe flu.
These were all within the plan.
However, it was different in Sha City.
The "God of Death" was rampant.
Even with Lin Xiao's intervention, and the efforts of the 冥医 and 天医 and their teams in treatment, prevention, and widespread cooperation from many people, the "God of Death" spread much faster than anticipated.
Not just in Sha City, similar symptoms to the "God of Death" appeared nationwide.
The difference was that Sha City's situation was controlled very quickly, whereas in other parts of the country, control was insufficient.
The "God of Death," after all, was just an enhanced mutated version of the previous virus.
Some people who contracted it considered it a severe flu, but the symptoms were extremely intense, with many experiencing high fevers of forty degrees Celsius, body aches, and persisting for four to five days.
It was difficult to reduce the fever and escape danger in a short period using ordinary methods.
Lin Xiao's prescription was also promoted nationwide immediately, but the speed of promotion was ultimately insufficient in some areas.
Of course, the most significant factor was the occurrence of deaths.
The illness itself wasn't the problem; as long as it was treated and left minimal after-effects, it would be fine. But death, witnessed by everyone, was the most terrifying thing.
For a time, the entire nation began to fear.
This challenge gave Lin Xiao a headache.
All pharmacies nationwide were sold out of related medications, and people queued for hours in major hospitals.
Young and middle-aged adults were relatively fine; a bit of medicine and they would recover.
But for the elderly and children, this was a true test.
And for the Dragon Country, the biggest test had arrived.
The Spring Festival travel rush.
No matter when, the Spring Festival travel rush was always a challenge.
Aside from the transportation pressure, the pressure from this "God of Death" was also considerable.
To avoid causing more panic, the previous containment policies were not reinstated.
This led to more medical experts stepping forward to explain the current situation and reassure the public. Lin Xiao was even forced to appear on television.
Only his words could quickly bring stability to the people across the country.
At this moment, Lin Xiao finished reading the last piece of information in his private office and then picked up the phone.
"Prepare for a meeting."
Lin Xiao had made a decision.
If there was a way to bring everyone relief in the fastest manner, it would be to develop the latest vaccine... and to find super blood.
He now had a lead.
