Ye Feng kept his promise. In the following days, apart from chatting with Nie Qingwu to relieve her boredom, he devoted himself to studying the epidemic.
But the poison doctor's methods were too strange. Although he tried several prescriptions for experimental treatment, they did not work.
However, the only good thing is that Imperata root can prevent epidemics, which has been confirmed in Nie Qingwu.
Although several days had passed since she entered the epidemic area and came into contact with people infected with the virus, she did not show any symptoms of fever or cough.
Even after she went back and forth to the epidemic area several times without taking any protective measures, she still did not have any adverse reactions.
Moreover, Ye Feng used his telekinesis to see through her body, but he did not see any black gas formed by the epidemic poison in her lungs.
This completely shut up the members of the Western medicine team who were waiting to see the show.
They no longer said that white grass roots were for feeding pigs, but like everyone else, they would hold a few white grass roots in their mouths and chew them as snacks whenever they had time.
What they didn't expect was that since they started chewing Imperata root, not only did they no longer have to worry about the epidemic, but even their mental state improved a lot, because the boils that grew due to staying up late and being highly emotional have returned to normal.
Only Ji Fangzhen, in order to protect his head from being kicked around by Ye Feng, still insisted on not eating Imperata root and instead wore protective clothing to enter the epidemic area.
Every time people in the camp saw him entering the epidemic area wearing a full set of protective clothing, sweating all over, and then being doused with cold water, they treated him as a joke.
With everyone looking at him as if he were a fool, Ji Fangzhen finally never left the tent again. He fiddled with a bunch of instruments every day, and no one knew what he was doing.
Ye Feng didn't care about it and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Because although Imperata root has the effect of preventing epidemics, it does not have the ability to treat them.
This situation is like an enemy chasing you with a gun. Although you are wearing a bulletproof vest and he cannot kill you for a while, you have no weapon in your hand and cannot resist. You can only run for your life...
Moreover, it is not the right look to always hold a piece of Imperata root in the mouth. After all, no one is Chow Yun-fat, and no one can act cool and domineering with a toothpick in his mouth. Instead, he looks a bit like a goat that is always eating grass.
So the most important thing is to find a drug to cure the virus.
But unfortunately, the epidemic was too complicated. When no one was around, Ye Feng pulled Chou Lao out to ask for a solution.
This guy was helpless in this situation. He said that either Ye Feng would break through the knowledge of fate instantly and help the infected people to eliminate the poison one by one; or he would refine a furnace of detoxifying pills that could cure all poisons to dispel the poison.
But no matter which of these two methods is used, it is impossible to do it.
Fortunately, news came from the capital that Jiang Yuxin was fine and the epidemic had not broken out. Although most people infected with the epidemic had colds and fevers, there was no large-scale infection.
"Ye Feng...Ye Feng..."
On the morning of the fifth day after entering the epidemic area, just as Ye Feng, Tu Cangcang and others were pondering a new prescription for the epidemic, Lei Meng rushed in and pulled Ye Feng, saying, "Come with me to pick up a batch of supplies."
Damn, this has made me addicted to performing magic!
When Ye Feng heard this, he immediately prepared to refuse.
The Medicine King Ring can store items, but he will never use it unless he is in front of someone he trusts.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to perform magic. The road is already open. I just want you to go with me to pick up a batch of medicinal herbs."
Lei Mengru saw what Ye Feng was thinking and laughed, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"I have no idea about the prescription yet. If you go out and relax, change your mind, maybe you will have new ideas."
Seeing that Lei Meng was determined, Tu Cangcang waved his hand and gave Ye Feng a day off.
Since Tu Cangcang said so, Ye Feng naturally couldn't refuse and followed Lei Meng out of the tent.
"Hehe, actually the medicine pick-up was fake. Someone wanted to see you."
After walking out of the tent, Lei Meng said mysteriously.
"who?"
Ye Feng frowned in confusion. He really couldn't imagine who in this damn place knew him.
And although he was helping the military and the government, he didn't want to get too deeply involved with either.
"You'll know when you get there. Believe me, you'll be very happy after meeting that person!"
Lei Meng kept the topic in suspense, then took Ye Feng in a big jeep and headed out of the mountain.
After going around the mountain road for a few times, we arrived at the place where the road was washed away by the last mudslide.
Although the road has been repaired, Lei Meng and his team built a fence here using several large rocks washed down by the mudslide, completely preventing anyone from accidentally entering the epidemic area.
Now, several trucks are parked in front of the fence and a group of workers are unloading the goods.
Ye Feng had sharp eyes and found that many packages were filled with Imperata roots.
There was nothing that could be done about it. There were limited Imperata roots in the mountains, and the precious land that Xiaobao had discovered had already been hollowed out by Lei Meng and his men, making the kid very unhappy. His mouth was pouted so much that a grease mark could be seen hanging from it.
"These are things for people in the epidemic area. Handle them with care and don't break them!"
As soon as he got off the car, Ye Feng heard a clear voice coming from behind the truck.
As soon as he heard the voice, Ye Feng rushed over. When he looked closely, he was dumbfounded.
Standing behind the truck was a girl wearing a bright blue sportswear, a ponytail, a white baseball cap, and her straight nose was covered with beads of sweat.
"Ye Feng..."
The girl heard footsteps, turned around and saw Ye Feng, then tilted her head and waved at him.
This silly woman...
Ye Feng's face showed joy at first, but then the smile froze immediately.
"Yi Xue, who asked you to come here?!" Ye Feng quickly stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and said in a low voice.
If this isn’t Jiang Yixue, then who else could it be!
"Why, can't I come over to check on the post?"
Jiang Yixue raised her head, her eyes curved into crescents, and she looked at Ye Feng with a smile and asked.
That smile is as bright and beautiful as a flower blooming in the morning sun.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you."
Ye Feng frowned and stared into Jiang Yixue's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You have seen me, go back immediately!"
The epidemic area is too dangerous. Not to mention that there is no cure for the virus yet, the ghost-faced spiders hiding in the mountains and never showing up are enough to make people exhausted.
Jiang Yixue coming at this time is tantamount to walking into a trap.
"I don't… "
Jiang Yixue shook her head firmly.
She came here just to accompany Ye Feng. Now that they have reached the edge of the epidemic area, how could she leave
"You'd better go back. I can't guarantee your safety. Besides, I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to be your babysitter!"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth and deliberately said something very unpleasant.
The only way to drive away a foolish woman who has fallen into a trap is to make her sad.
"I don't need your protection. I'm here to work."
Jiang Yixue was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and then said: "Unless you knock me out and put me in a sack, I will not leave! And I also know that you are trying to provoke me and make me leave, but I won't be fooled."
"… "
The veins on Ye Feng's forehead twitched and he couldn't utter a word.
Once a woman becomes stubborn, she can be more terrifying than a man.
"Everyone hurry up and load the truck as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Lei Meng on the side answered a phone call, shouted to the workers, then quickly walked to Ye Feng and said with a gloomy face: "Something happened in the epidemic area..."
