“What’s this?” Dan Yangzi pointed at the glass test tube in Qin Chuan’s hand.
“The zombie virus!”
“Zombie virus?” Dan Yangzi was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this thing after living for tens of thousands of years.
He had heard of viruses. For example, infectious diseases were basically caused by viruses.
“Old Qin, since we’ve discovered the virus, is there a way to fight it?” Dan Yangzi asked anxiously.
As an alchemist, Dan Yangzi was also a famous physician.
As the saying goes, doctors are healers with benevolent hearts.
Although Dan Yangzi did not have the noble morals of practicing medicine to save the world, seeing so many innocent people waiting for death in despair was simply an insult to his profession as a physician.
“Old Qin, what help do you need? I’m not good at fighting, but I still have some superficial knowledge of medicinal knowledge.” Dan Yangzi recommended himself.
He was being humble.
Dan Yangzi was able to stand out from tens of thousands of alchemy grandmasters and seize the title of Alchemy Saint. Other than his exceptional alchemy skills, he also had a special understanding of the characteristics of various herbs.
Qin Chuan knew why Dan Yangzi was so anxious, but once one was infected by the zombie virus, there was no way to save him.
This was irreversible.
It was like scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Turning them back into pure tomatoes and eggs was impossible.
Unless time was reversed.
Qin Chuan looked at Dan Yangzi and said, “Old Dan, this zombie virus uses human cells as its host body. The two have a symbiotic relationship.
“After I separated the zombie virus, the cells quickly corrupted and died.
“This means that without the zombie virus, the human cells cannot survive.
“In other words, when we kill the zombie virus, human cells are also killed.
“Currently, as long as a person is infected with the zombie virus, there’s really no way to save them. ”
Dan Yangzi said, “Then is there any medicine that can kill the zombie virus without harming human cells?”
“I’m not sure about that, but looking at our immortal cultivation techniques, it’s probably very difficult. I’m afraid only those technologically advanced civilizations can figure it out.
“But developing a drug can’t be done that quickly.
“Besides, this is a zombie virus. It will definitely take longer.”
“I understand.” Dan Yangzi accepted reality, but he was still very indignant.
“What about these people? Are they infected?”
Dan Yangzi pointed at the few “normal people” in the room.
“Wait a moment!” Qin Chuan swept his gaze over, examining these people multiple times to ensure that he was not mistaken.
“Him, him, him, and him all have wounds on their bodies. They are already infected with the zombie virus.”
In the end, only the two people were normal. Qin Chuan felt helpless. Once they were infected with the zombie virus, it meant death.
With hope in his heart, Dan Yangzi said, “Since these people haven’t acted up, it means that the load of the zombie virus in their bodies is not too much.
“If we remove the zombie virus in their bodies at this time, the cells wouldn’t all be killed, would they?”
Qin Chuan shook his head. “Old Dan, it’s useless.
“The reproduction speed of the zombie virus is beyond imagination. After entering the human body, it can infect all human cells almost instantly.
“They haven’t acted up, probably because the zombie virus hasn’t started working yet!”
Dan Yangzi’s hopes were dashed, and he couldn’t help but feel a little down.
Then, Qin Chuan brought out the two uninfected people.
The elders outside were very vigilant. They immediately made the surrounding disciples retreat a little, away from Qin Chuan and the others.
Qin Chuan said, “Elder, I’ve confirmed repeatedly that these two people aren’t infected.”
The elder questioned, “How can you guarantee that they aren’t infected?”
Qin Chuan answered truthfully, “I have a divine art that allows me to observe the viral cells that cause the strange illness.”
Divine art?
The elders exchanged glances.
An elder said, “Even if it’s as you say, we still don’t dare to take this risk under such circumstances.”
Qin Chuan had long guessed this outcome.
He said, “That’s simple.
“All the elders have to do is get rid of those people and I’ll release these two back. Time will prove everything.”
The elders did not refuse this suggestion.
Soon, the room lit up, and the people inside disappeared.
Qin Chuan was prepared to put the people who had not been infected by the zombie virus back in.
Dan Yangzi suddenly said, “Old Qin, aren’t you going to examine them carefully? What if the zombie virus you mentioned is in the air?”
“Don’t worry about that!
“This zombie virus can only survive by relying on carbonyl substances. Once it leaves its host body and is exposed to the air, it will die within a few seconds. ”
Dan Yangzi was still worried. “No, take a closer look.”
“Alright, alright, alright!” Left with no choice, Qin Chuan activated his Quantum True Eye again and carefully looked through it many times, but he did not find any zombie virus.
“How is it?” asked Dan Yangzi.
“There’s nothing else,” said Qin Chuan. “If you’re still worried, I’ll pass the divine art to you. Take a look at yourself.”
“Then give it to me!” said Dan Yangzi shamelessly.
Divine arts were not spells. Although there were differences in quality, every divine art was extremely precious.
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes. Of course, he knew what Dan Yangzi was planning.
Actually, he already had such plans without Dan Yangzi’s hint.
The Quantum True Eye could detect the zombie virus. If everyone could use it, they would be able to find out who was infected immediately and proceed with the management.
This would effectively stop the spread of the zombie virus.
Currently, there are no special medicines that could treat the infection of the zombie virus. The only way was to destroy the transmission chain of the virus. Without the source of infection, the virus would not be able to spread, and there would be no source of infection.
Therefore, Qin Chuan imparted the Quantum True Eye to Dan Yangzi.
After all, Dan Yangzi had the foundation of a Golden Immortal. He would understand after comprehending it a few more times.
The Quantum True Eye was not a difficult divine art. It only had the effect of seeing microscopic objects. It was equivalent to turning a pair of eyes into a quantum microscope.
Then, Qin Chuan imparted the divine art to the elders around him.
The realms of the disciples were too low. They wouldn’t be able to learn it even if he imparted it to them.
So Qin Chuan did not do so.
After the elders received the divine art, their earlier worries about Qin Chuan disappeared.
Before long, all the elders on this level received the divine art, Quantum True Eye.
But they did not have a foundation like Dan Yangzi’s and could not use it so quickly.
Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi had it a little tougher.
The two of them split up and inspected every room carefully. They found that they took care of every infected person found until all the rooms were checked.
During this period, infections emerged on the various floors one after another, but there weren’t many.
Due to the proper isolation measures, the virus could not spread and was effectively controlled.
However, many people had died.
Time flew by, and half a month passed.
Now, almost all the elders in Mingyang City had mastered the Quantum True Eye.
As such, the zombie virus had nowhere to hide.
Among them, the most innocent were the carriers of the virus that had yet to act up.
Without any special medicine, they could not be kept alive with the virus in them.
Everyone was helpless.
But there was nothing they could do. If they were left alone, the consequences would be even worse.
All their efforts would have been in vain.
These people also knew what their fate would be.
But no one wanted to die!
The reality was cruel.
No matter how they begged for help, the elders could only order an execution.
After this great purge, there were only a few million people left in the major cities with a population of millions.
This showed how terrifying the zombie virus was.
