The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 448: The Mutated Flu

The Flying Fox Society, the Flowing Wind Society, and the Black Fiend Society had aligned themselves with the Victory Sky Society, while the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Society was killed. The very same evening, news of the Heavenly Wolf Society’s decimation spread at light speed. No one in Capital City dared to mock the Fiend Snake Club or Sun Hezheng’s choice anymore, for behind Sun Hezheng stood the Victory Sky Society—who in Capital City could possibly provoke him now?

The Blood Dyed Association and the Wanren Association watched as the situation turned increasingly unfavorable for their two gangs. The leaders of both gangs met again to discuss countermeasures, aware that if things continued this way, they would undoubtedly be swallowed up by the Victory Sky Society as well.

While all the underground forces in Capital City were in turmoil, Ye Chenfeng was peacefully eating breakfast in the living room. Unexpectedly, Duan Nan, the head of the military hospital, burst into the Ye residence out of breath and without taking a moment to catch his breath, said to Ye Chenfeng, "Master, this time you must help me, help the whole Huaxia Country. Only you can solve this issue."

"Old Nan, you’re not young anymore, why are you still so hasty? Sit down and speak slowly," the elder Mr. Ye said to the panting Duan Nan.

Duan Nan swallowed, and said, "Zhenhong, there’s no time to delay with this issue. Last night, multiple cases of influenza broke out in hospitals across Capital City, a type of flu that has never been seen before. According to our speculation, it’s a mutated form of the flu, with an extremely short incubation period and nearly a hundred percent fatality rate. People can die within just twenty-four hours."

"All the major hospitals in Capital City are at a loss on how to handle this, and the death toll has already reached eight. The transmission of this flu is also extremely rapid—who knows how many people in Capital City have been infected? Who knows if other cities outside of Capital City have had outbreaks of this mutated flu? "

"Fortunately, we have temporarily suppressed the news. If this got out, the entire Capital City, even the whole country would be in chaos. Right now, we must develop a cure for this mutated flu."

Duan Nan rambled on in a frenzied manner, his face filled with urgency and panic. Facing this mutated flu, he knew his master, Ye Chenfeng, was the only one who could resolve it.

"Old Nan, what did you say? A mutated influenza has broken out in Capital City, and all hospitals are helpless against it? How come I don’t know about such an important matter?" Elder Mr. Ye said indignantly as he stood up from his chair.

Duan Nan replied, "Zhenhong, it’s not surprising you don’t know. This mutated flu only broke out last night. The entire medical system in Capital City was nearly paralyzed, every healthcare worker was overwhelmingly busy."

Hearing what Duan Nan said, Ye Chenfeng put down his milk and after pondering for a moment, asked, "You’re saying this mutated flu only broke out last night? I feel there’s something fishy going on here. Could it be that someone deliberately spread this flu in Capital City? Even all the hospitals in Capital City are powerless against it, it must be quite severe for such a flu to break out in Capital City without any reason."

"Master, now that you mention it, I remember. The first eight people who were brought to the hospital last night, according to a series of examinations, were infected with this mutated flu at almost the exact same time. I was too hectic last night to think clearly—could there really be such a coincidence in the world?" After Ye Chenfeng’s reminder, Duan Nan began to see the dubious aspects.

"Chenfeng, if you can treat this mutated flu, consider it helping out the Huaxia Country," Elder Mr. Ye said.

"Grandfather, what are you saying? I am a citizen of Huaxia Country, if I can really solve this, I definitely won’t shirk the responsibility. I need to see the patients first to know if I can treat them," Ye Chenfeng said. freewёbnoνel-com

"Master, then we mustn’t delay—let’s hurry to the hospital! The number of patients is continuously growing, and if it keeps going like this, it will definitely cause national panic," said Duan Nan worriedly.

If the mutated flu really caused a national panic, then the matter would truly get out of hand, and it would impact various aspects of Huaxia Country to different extents.

So the only thing to do now is to control the increase in patient numbers and prevent the worsening of their conditions.

...

In a hidden underground laboratory in Capital City, all sorts of facilities were highly advanced. Within this lab, there were around twenty people, all dressed in white robes, wearing white isolation gloves, and with their faces covered by isolating masks, busily engaged in their work.

Among these personnel, some held test tubes and meticulously adjusted their contents; others after drawing some liquid medicine, carefully observed it under a microscope; each of the twenty or so people had their specific tasks.

One individual who was adjusting a test tube set it down and walked towards the exit of the laboratory. Another person followed closely, leaving the lab alongside him. At the entrance of the laboratory, there was an enclosed, automatic cleaning chamber for disinfection. Laboratory personnel simply had to step inside, press a button, and the chamber would automatically disinfect and clean them.

After all, the lab was studying a mutated influenza virus, and if they weren’t cautious, the researchers themselves were very likely to get infected, and currently, even they didn’t have an antidote for this mutated influenza.

The two entered the cleaning chamber. After being disinfected and cleaned, they changed into their clothes and left the laboratory, entering a rest room located next to the lab.

The two individuals who walked out of the lab had already removed their isolation masks. If Ye Chenfeng were here, he would definitely recognize these two: they were Jess and Aoki Koichi, the leading figures in the medical field of Country M and the Island Nation, respectively, from the previous international medical exchange competition.

The last time they had completely lost to Ye Chenfeng, they were supposed to have given up their medical careers, but how could the medical authorities of Country M and the Island Nation just let it go? They hated the medical community of Huaxia Country even more than they hated Ye Chenfeng.

One evening not so long ago, when Jess returned to his hotel room, he found a sample of a new type of influenza virus had been placed there, and in the box containing this new influenza, there was also a letter. It read, "This influenza is a newly researched prototype. With your abilities, you should be able to perfect it. You hate Huaxia Country so much, don’t you? Why not create chaos there?"

After obtaining the prototype sample of the new influenza, Jess immediately contacted Aoki Koichi from the Island Nation to discuss the matter. After half a day of discussion, they resolved to take revenge on Huaxia Country, as they couldn’t swallow their pride. Little did they know, if they had not been so aggressive towards the medical community of Huaxia in the first place, would they have ended up in this situation?

So, Jess and Aoki Koichi found a highly secretive location and built an underground laboratory to start researching this prototype influenza virus. Who would have thought, in just a few days, they discovered that the virus began to mutate on its own? And with their knowledge, they could be certain that this influenza was something the medical field nowadays couldn’t treat.

This discovery filled everyone with glee, and they quickly came up with a method to spread the mutated influenza in Capital City.

In the rest room next to the lab, Jess poured a cup of coffee for Aoki Koichi, and then he poured one for himself. Taking a leisurely sip, he said, "I think Capital City in Huaxia Country must be in chaos by now, right? Things are going to become even more interesting from here."

"Jess, Ye Chenfeng is quite capable, isn’t he? A genius in the world of traditional Chinese medicine? I’m sure he’ll find a way to deal with this, hahaha——" Aoki Koichi laughed defiantly.

"Now that even we can’t control this influenza, the sample of the virus is truly extraordinary. If it continues to mutate like this, it won’t be difficult to bring down the entire Huaxia Country," Jess mused, gently swirling the coffee in his hand.

"They want us to never be able to practice medicine again? I want to see how the Huaxia medical community manages the current crisis," Aoki Koichi stated.

"I really wonder who it was that put that sample of the influenza in my room. But, we should thank him," Jess admitted, still unaware of who was secretly supporting them. (To be continued.
