Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meanwhile around 9:30 p.m…
Jiang City.
Central Hospital.
In the conference room on the sixth floor.
It was brightly lit.
Tang Dexin was in a meeting with a group of attending physicians.
He looked at the time and said, “Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s end today’s meeting here.
“Other than the doctors on duty, the rest of you should go back and rest early.”
The doctors nodded and packed their things, preparing to leave.
But at this moment…
The door of the ward was pushed open.
A nurse rushed in and shouted, “Director Tang, something happened.
Something big has happened!”
Tang Dexin was stunned for a moment, “What happened?”
The nurse hurriedly said, “Just now, the ambulance sent sixteen children over!
“These children are all unconscious and their vital signs are weak. They have already been sent to the emergency room!”
“What?! Sixteen children?!”
Tang Dexin’s expression changed and he asked, “What illness do these children have?”
The expressions of the other doctors present changed drastically as they looked at this nurse.
The nurse replied, “Doctor Li and Doctor Wang have checked, but they can’t find anything!
However, the two doctors said that these sixteen children might have been poisoned, and they were poisoned by the same poison!”
“Poisoned?”
Tang Dexin frowned and said, “Let’s go and take a look!”
With that, Tang Dexin left the meeting room hurriedly with a group of attending physicians and rushed to the resuscitation room on the fourth floor. At this moment, the lights in the resuscitation room were still on. Clearly, the sixteen children were still being resuscitated.
Every child’s family stood at the door, waiting anxiously.
“Doctor, please save my child. Please save my child!”
“Doctor, I’ll kneel down for you. As long as you can save my child, I’m willing to pay any price!”
“Doctors, please!”
When the children’s families saw Tang Dexin and the others arrive, they begged one after another.
Tang Dexin said loudly, “Everyone, don’t worry. We’ll definitely do our best to save your child…”
Before he could finish speaking…
“Make way! Please make way!”
A cry came from the distant corridor.
Tang Dexin and the others looked up and saw hospital beds being pushed over one after another.
A child lay on each cart.
Tang Dexin and the others hurriedly walked over.
“What’s wrong with these kids?”
Tang Dexin hurriedly asked a doctor.
The doctor replied, “Director Tang, these children have the same symptoms as the children who were sent over just now. They seem to be poisoned!
The childrens’ body temperatures all dropped drastically. Their immune systems have been destroyed, their breathing is weak, their heartbeats slow, and they were all unconscious. The situation is surprisingly uniform!
“But we don’t know what’s going on either!”
Tang Dexin frowned and asked, “How many children were sent over this time?” “Ten!”
The doctor replied and continued, “Moreover, children are still being sent over one after another!”
“Another ten?! How did this happen?!”
What’s going on? Why are there suddenly so many children with the same symptoms?!”
Tang Dexin clenched his fists and his face darkened.
A female doctor said anxiously, “Director Tang, there aren’t enough resuscitation rooms, doctors, and beds now. What should we do?”
Tang Dexin took a few deep breaths and tried his best to remain calm.
He looked at the doctors and instructed, “The few of you, go and do these things that I’m telling you!
First, contact the other hospitals immediately and ask them to send doctors and nurses over to provide support!
“Second, transfer the patients with mild symptoms from our hospital to other hospitals and give all the beds to the children!
“Thirdly, get all the doctors on leave to rush back!”
“Yes!”
The doctors nodded and quickly went to do what Tang Dexin had instructed them to do.
In the next few hours…
Ambulances drove over from afar and stopped at the door.
Children were pushed out of the ambulance one by one.
More and more children were sent over.
Because there were not enough beds, the hall and corridor were filled with beds.
The entire Central Hospital was packed.
Around one in the morning.
In the conference room on the sixth floor.
Tang Dexin gathered the main doctors for a meeting.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was very heavy.
Tang Dexin said in a deep voice, “Everyone, let’s talk. What’s going on with these children?”
A middle-aged male doctor with short hair frowned and said, “We can reach a preliminary conclusion through the test results.
It’s very likely that these children are poisoned. It might be a new virus. We are calling it the S-virus.
“Regarding this S-virus, we can only maintain the children’s life symptoms now. There’s no antidote at all, and there’s no way to treat it.”
A female doctor wearing silver-rimmed glasses said, “Moreover, we discovered that these children are all between the ages of seven and thirteen.
And these children are all from the same school.”
“Same school?”
Tang Dexin was stunned and asked, “Which school are they from?”
The female doctor replied, “Jiang City Experimental Primary School.”
“Jiang City Experimental Primary School?”
Tang Dexin was stunned for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “1 don’t think this is a coincidence. Could it be that someone poisoned them maliciously?”
He had encountered a few poisoning incidents like this in the past, so he immediately went towards this direction.
“That’s possible!”
The female doctor nodded and said, “I’ve already contacted the Jiang City General Administration just now. They’ve already sent someone to investigate!
But it will probably take some time for the investigation results to come out!”
At this moment, an old doctor with gray hair said, “Director Tang, since we don’t have any clues now, I think we should invite Elder Huang and the others over.
Perhaps with the help of Elder Huang and the others, we might be able to obtain new inspiration.”
Tang Dexin said, “I’ve already contacted Elder Huang and the others. They should be on their way.”
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Please come in.”
Tang Dexin responded.
The door was pushed open.
Huang Tai’an, Cao Jisheng, Han Shouli, and Sun Boren walked in.
Tang Dexin hurriedly went up to them and said apologetically, “Elder Huang, Elder Cao, Elder Han, Elder Sun, I’m really sorry to disturb everyone’s rest so late at night!”
Huang Tai’an waved his hand and said, “For these children, this is nothing.”
Tang Dexin nodded. Soon, he noticed a beautiful Caucasian woman walking in from behind.
He was shocked when he recognised her, “President Alinda, why are you here?!”
Alinda said, “Director Tang, I’ve been learning Chinese medicine from Elder Huang recently.
1 heard that something happened here just now, so 1 thought of coming over to take a look.”
Tang Dexin nodded. “Alright, alright. With President Alinda’s help, our hope of saving those children will increase further as well!”
Alinda said directly, “Alright, Dean Tang, let’s not talk too much. Let me take a look at the children’s charts!”
“Here!”
Tang Dexin picked up a report and handed it to Alinda..
