Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1314: Compounding the Antidote



Ye Qing's words made Su Kaicheng pause for a moment. He looked at Ye Qing in astonishment, and after a while, he said, "Disguise? This... this can't be possible, right? Even the best makeup artist can only make someone look similar at most. They both are very familiar with these doctors and saw them in person, how could they possibly make a mistake?"

"That's hard to say." Ye Qing replied in a low voice, "Just give their family a call to check, and we'll know. Better safe than sorry."

Seeing Ye Qing's determined look, Su Kaicheng finally nodded and said to Li Yanwu, "General Li, it'd be best to make a call and ask first. If something really happened, it would give someone a heads up!"

Su Kaicheng has an extraordinary status, and Li Yanwu paid more attention to what he said. Li Yanwu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, let's make a call and get in touch."

Since Li Yanwu said so, the two had nothing to say. One of them directly took out a phone, dialed a string of numbers, asked a few questions, and then turned and said, "Hou Yuewen's colleagues aren't aware of what's happening here. I think it's better not to tell them for now."

"Why call his colleagues? What about his family?" Li Yanwu asked curiously.

"Hou Yuewen has no parents, siblings, or spouse, only his colleagues know his situation," the person said.

Thinking about Hou Yuewen's facial condition, this is indeed true; his face looks so terrifying that getting married is not an easy thing.

Ye Qing felt slightly moved inside. Hearing this, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with Hou Yuewen. Hou Yuewen is now around fifty, and if he is so skilled in medicine, finding a wife, despite a scary face, shouldn't be too difficult. However, Hou Yuewen has never had a family, making one question his identity.

Before the matter with Hou Yuewen was clear, the person on the phone suddenly exclaimed, "Trouble, trouble, something happened!"

"What happened?" everyone quickly turned to him, and Li Yanwu asked urgently, "What happened?"

"Cheng Xiangrong, Doctor Cheng, he... he is still at home and has never left..." the man replied, trembling, with a perplexed expression.

The Cheng Xiangrong he mentioned was indeed the elderly doctor, who was impersonated by Bai Li Xi.

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, especially Su Kaicheng, who took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "So it... it's really an impersonation!"

The real Cheng Xiangrong is still at home, so the one who was invited earlier was indeed an imposter. Thus, Ye Qing's guess was not wrong at all, the Cheng Xiangrong from earlier was indeed a fake.

"How can this be? I went to his house and invited him out, and his family was there. Even if I made a mistake, how could his family?" the man muttered on the side, seemingly unable to comprehend this result.

"This person's disguise skills are incredible, aren't they?" Su Kaicheng couldn't help but ask.

Ye Qing frowned tightly. From the looks of it, these two were probably Ning Qianshu's successors. But why did they leave a Divine Doctor's Order with Lin Tianyou and him? Could there be some kind of trap here?

Upon receiving this news, Li Yanwu took it very seriously and immediately dispatched people to search around to locate Hou Yuewen and Bai Li Xi. He wasn't worried about their safety but concerned they might leak the secrets here if they got out, which would be trouble.

However, needless to say, after searching all around, they couldn't find the two. After turning here and there till the next day, there was still no result, but instead, the institute sent word: the patient who took the trial medication yesterday is no longer bloodthirsty!

Exhausted from a night of work, Li Yanwu was feeling dejected, but upon receiving this news, he was suddenly invigorated. That the patient is no longer bloodthirsty marks significant progress. If the antidote for this biochemical weapon can be formulated, even if the news leaks, it won't matter much.

"Quick, summon all the doctors to the research institute," Li Yanwu said excitedly. "Also, invite Doctor Lin here. Remember, do it politely!"

With Lin Tianyou's medicine showing results, Li Yanwu's attitude towards Lin Tianyou had changed.

"Kaicheng, the two you invited are truly Divine Doctors!" Li Yanwu didn't forget to praise Su Kaicheng, because without a doubt, the credit for this success would be attributed to Su Kaicheng.

Su Kaicheng was also full of excitement. If Ye Qing and Lin Tianyou could cure the disease this time, it would be a major accomplishment for him. For people like them, establishing more merits means accumulating more chips for the future, which is crucial.

Soon, all doctors gathered at the research institute. Liu Cheng looked into the sealed room at the patient who took the trial medication, his brows still furrowed.

These patients, after being infected, only drank fresh blood, maintained with animal blood for survival during this period. Therefore, every morning, they would give them a bowl of blood for their needs.

However, the patient Lin Tianyou medicated yesterday still had the bowl of chicken blood in front of him, but he seemed completely uninterested. Unlike the other patients, who drank the chicken blood thoroughly.

"It really worked!" Li Yanwu was overjoyed at this scene, eagerly turning to Lin Tianyou, saying, "Divine Doctor Lin, your method truly works. Can we release them now?"

"No, that's not possible!" Lin Tianyou quickly shook his head, saying, "They're currently only controlled for bloodthirstiness, but their aggressiveness hasn't been controlled. This requires additional medication treatments. However, they can now eat like normal humans. General Li, why not try putting some food inside and see?"

"You're right, I forgot about this," Li Yanwu said quickly, "Quick, get some food, see if he eats it. If he does, it means his condition is truly controlled."

"Make sure it's not meat, just regular buns will be fine," Lin Tianyou added.

"Right, right, buns, white buns," Li Yanwu said excitedly. Resolving this matter properly would certainly ease his worries.

Before long, the buns were brought over, placed in a bowl, and pushed inside through a small hatch in the sealed room.

The trial medication patient was apparently hungry, and upon seeing the buns, he grabbed them and started devouring eagerly.

No wonder, for so long, they were surviving on blood, naturally, they were not satiated. Now seeing solid food, they naturally ate rapidly.

Seeing this patient devour the buns, Li Yanwu was overjoyed again, saying, "Divine Doctor Lin, your medicine is truly effective. Do you have more? Perhaps give some to others to temporarily suppress their condition?"

"That's not a problem," Lin Tianyou nodded, saying, "The recipe is simple, just follow the prescription."

Despite the presence of many doctors on site, Lin Tianyou didn't hold back, directly sharing the prescription. It was evident that many doctors were trying to memorize it.

Lin Tianyou's openness made Ye Qing respect him even more. He didn't stop Lin Tianyou from sharing it because bloodthirsty syndrome is exceedingly rare, even if people memorize the recipe, they might never encounter a patient in their lifetime, so remembering it doesn't really matter.

Li Yanwu had someone document the recipe and hurriedly arranged for the medicine to be brewed and brought over. However, administering the medicine was another daunting task.

Luckily, Ye Qing was there, he went from patient to patient, acupuncturing them before feeding them the medicine. This way, they managed to temporarily control the bloodthirstiness of these patients. Next, it would be necessary to create a cure targeting the brain nerves of these individuals, which was beyond Ye Qing's capabilities.

However, the other doctors were quite skilled in this area. Li Yanwu directly appointed these doctors to work under Lin Tianyou's command. With dozens of top-notch doctors from various regions collaborating, it wasn't long before a cure for brain nerves was developed. Combined with the medication for treating bloodthirstiness, it formed the antidote for this biochemical weapon.

Lin Tianyou handed over the antidote's recipe to Li Yanwu, bringing this matter to a conclusion. As for the antidote's efficacy, it had been verified in the afternoon when a patient who took it showed a significant reduction in aggression. As long as they continue taking the medication for seven days, they can completely cure the biochemical weapon's infection and return to normal.

Holding the antidote recipe, Li Yanwu couldn't have been happier; he excitedly said, "Now, we finally have the ability to handle these biochemical weapons! Doctor Lin, Doctor Ye, all of the doctors, thank you all!"

Many of the other doctors hadn't done much, with Lin Tianyou doing most of the work and Ye Qing assisting with administering the medicine. Thus, Li Yanwu primarily commended Ye Qing and Lin Tianyou, and the others had no objections. After all, the resolution of this issue was essentially the work of Ye Qing and Lin Tianyou.

Liu Cheng was bursting with frustration on the side but remained powerless. The doctors he had invited hadn't been any help, and previously they were clamoring about using a live person as a specimen. Now, Ye Qing and Lin Tianyou had easily resolved the matter, further emphasizing the ineffectiveness of his invitees. Naturally, this left him with a foul mood. He initially hoped to earn some merit through this matter, but now not only did he fail to gain recognition, but he also lost face.

While some are unhappy, others are delighted. While Liu Cheng appeared displeased, Su Kaicheng was smiling broadly beside him, having completely forgotten his neck pain, repeatedly inviting Ye Qing and Lin Tianyou to the Capital as guests.
