Chapter 305 - Chapter 466: Others Have Nothing to Do With Me

Zhao Min left the isolation pod and was taken by medical staff to an isolation room; looking at the surrounding environment, her expression carried a hint of confusion.Yesterday, she received notice that the hospital intended to transfer her to the Capital City for treatment, claiming it was at Chen Mo's request, and she had agreed without the slightest hesitation.As a result, this morning, she was placed into an isolation pod, accompanied by medical personnel on a special flight, and then brought here.The environment of this hospital was far better than that of the Binhai City People's Hospital; one could tell just from the layout and details within the room.Through the glass window, she could see the flowers and grass outside, which made her feel much more at ease.Click...The door to the ward suddenly opened, and two medical personnel wearing protective suits, masks, and goggles walked in."How are you feeling?""It's you?" Zhao Min was startled upon hearing the familiar voice.Currently, Chen Mo was wearing a protective suit, mask, and goggles, so she couldn't recognize him, but the moment he spoke, she immediately knew Chen Mo's identity; this voice was the one she was most familiar with."What are you doing here? This is an isolation zone; aren't you afraid of getting infected?""I came in to find you. If I were afraid of infection, I wouldn't have come in," Chen Mo said.He had requested for Zhao Min to be brought over, and Shi Hongtu had agreed without hesitation, even arranging medical personnel to assist with the isolation transfer; the application made yesterday had resulted in her transfer today."Alright then, since you're not afraid, give me a hug first." Zhao Min walked over and instinctively hugged Chen Mo; although there was a protective suit between them, she felt inexplicably at ease."Have you hugged enough yet? There's a nurse here; don't ruin my reputation, I'm a married man.""Look, the nurse is much more sensible than you; she's already turned her head away." Zhao Min was in a great mood, and most of her worries about being infected with the vfv virus had vanished: "Xiao Yu won't mind; I'll just explain it to her later. When a woman is sick, she becomes especially fragile and emotional; just treat it as giving me some comfort.""At most, you're an old girl, the kind that's an aging bachelorette."The nurse next to them couldn't help but tremble with laughter upon hearing Chen Mo's words.Zhao Min rolled her eyes in annoyance; sometimes this guy was deliberately dense, always making her want to hit him: "You've seen what you came to see, and there's nothing interesting to look at here, so hurry up and leave.""I'm not leaving. From today on, I am one of your attending physicians until you recover."Zhao Min looked at him curiously: "You know medicine? Are you sure you're not a quack?"Chen Mo was completely speechless; their daily routine of roasting each other was always like this."Academician Chen joined the research team for the vfv virus specific treatment last week and is now a member of the expert team; this transfer of yours was at Academician Chen's request," the nurse beside them explained for Chen Mo.Zhao Min felt a warmth in her heart; her playful expression faded, replaced by overwhelming gratitude. Chen Mo hadn't paid any attention to the epidemic for the past month, but now that he had joined the team, she could naturally guess the reason."Thank you.""Thank me later; I need to check your condition now.""Do I need a full-body checkup?" Zhao Min asked, her face flushing slightly as she acted a bit coy.Seeing Zhao Min acting coy, Chen Mo almost fled in panic; he felt that transferring her here was a mistake.Before Chen Mo could answer, the nurse next to them couldn't help but find it amusing; it was rare to hear the conversation between two such big shots, and she hadn't expected their dialogue to be so interesting, not as distant as they appeared in the news."Your condition hasn't flared up, so what would a full-body checkup reveal? I'm not a professional doctor; I'm just responsible for developing the specific treatment. Right now, it's a blood test; I need your blood to see the status of the virus in your body."Chen Mo turned to look at the nurse."Go ahead and draw her blood for the test."Zhao Min sat on the bed; seeing the nurse take out the needle, she became anxious and uneasy, her body stiffening as she subconsciously leaned back, her hands trembling."Ms. Zhao, please don't move." The nurse held down Zhao Min's arm."She's afraid of injections." Chen Mo suddenly remembered Zhao Min's fear of needles and spoke up to remind her: "She might be nervous."Afraid of injections?The nurse looked at Zhao Min with some surprise; the dignified president of the Army Ant Group, a person of great power, usually known for her cold and strong personality, actually feared needles. However, at least she didn't seem as unapproachable as before; there was a bit of a cute contrast."Look at something else, think about things you like, and try to distract yourself; you don't have to look at the needle," the nurse reminded her.Zhao Min fixed her gaze on Chen Mo, staring straight at him, and her expression calmed down quite a bit.Sensing Zhao Min's gaze, Chen Mo's face under the mask showed a bit of helplessness; seeing her nervous appearance, he still spoke up: "After the last forum, in this past month, have you taken any medication?""Why ask that?""According to the data sent from Binhai City, your condition is somewhat special; the incubation period of the virus is too long, and the metabolic activity of the pathogen is much lower than in ordinary people. So, I need to confirm if you have taken any medication that could have caused this situation; it might be a breakthrough for the research."Zhao Min thought for a moment and shook her head definitively: "No. During this period, my diet has been regular, and I haven't taken any medication.""After you attended the New York forum, in the past month, have you had any physical discomfort? Or anything particularly unusual?""Does my period count?" Zhao Min asked."Was it unusual?""No, it was quite regular, quite normal."A few black lines appeared on Chen Mo's forehead: "Then that doesn't count.""Then nothing else," Zhao Min thought for a moment, as if remembering something: "However, ever since you used that potential potion on me last time, I haven't been sick, not even a minor cold.""That's it!!"Chen Mo patted his head, suddenly realizing; Zhao Min's words had awakened him, the person involved.The potential potion, besides enhancing strength and speed, could also increase the body's immune capacity. Zhao Min was one of the users, and he had personally injected it into her.Zhao Min's immune capacity was much better than ordinary people's precisely because she had used the potential potion back then.This was a good reminder; at least he now knew that a body strengthened by the potential potion had an immune capacity that could slow down the metabolic rate of the virus.Perhaps it would also be helpful for developing the specific treatment.The nurse pulled out the needle, and Zhao Min finally released the breath she had been holding; her face was pale, having been frightened by the needle."For now, just keep an optimistic mood; leave everything else to me."Zhao Min beamed, her pale face regaining vitality, and there were faint tears in her eyes as all the worries in her heart vanished; it seemed like the first time someone had said this to her so earnestly, and it felt very good....The potential potion increased Zhao Min's immunity, which gave her the ability to resist the virus! Hearing this answer, Wu Bing was full of surprise.She had participated in the clinical trials for the potential potion from start to finish, so she naturally knew the functions of that potion: increasing human cell metabolic activity and enhancing human strength, speed, endurance, and immunity; it could allow ordinary people to possess the physique of trained soldiers.This type of strategic potion was still top secret, used only in a few special forces and guard regiments; Zhao Min knew about this project, and it was perfectly normal for Chen Mo to use it on her to improve her physique."I'm not sure if that's the case yet, but it's the best explanation. I must try it to see the effect," Chen Mo said.Wu Bing pondered for a moment and asked: "You want to use the potential potion for the experiment?""Yes.""The higher-ups won't agree to use the potion on ordinary people on a large scale, especially Westerners. Exposing this kind of potion would mean revealing a trump card, and the ingredient formula might leak out," Wu Bing said."I don't intend to use it on a large scale either; I only want to clear the disease from Zhao Min, and also Lan Xi's disease. Others have nothing to do with me."
