Zhang Yang couldn't bear it if he continued to wipe and clean like this. He had no choice but to scatter Chinese medicine powder on the wound, hoping that the effect of Chinese medicine could change this cruel disease.
You know, the patient's body is covered with such blood blisters. Once they all rupture, the degree of rottenness of the muscles all over the body will make people feel cold and frightened just thinking about it.
"I have never heard of such a terrible plague." Putina turned her head to one side and couldn't bear to look any further, her voice choked with sobs.
"Well, this is also the first time I've encountered it." Zhang Yang was in a particularly heavy mood at this time, stood up and shook his head.
Although he has never experienced it, he has heard his master and uncle talk about it countless times since he was a child, about the disaster and pain caused by the plague.
Many of them include cholera and plague, which have killed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
But it has never been as cruel as what we see today. Even though it has not killed a large number of patients so far, the pain they have endured is worse than death.
ah……
Bang!
Following Catherine's ear-piercing scream, followed by the sound of a stool falling, people in the office looked towards her in a hurry.
I saw this girl, who had always been quiet and elegant, suddenly dancing, shaking all over, turning her head and rushing back like crazy. The facial features on her pretty face were all twisted together, making her look particularly ferocious.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Yang rushed to her, grabbed her arm and asked loudly.
"Yeah, what happened?"
…
He Shuqing and Putina also walked over in a panic and asked almost in unison.
At this time, Catherine was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her whole body was shaking. She kept pointing at the experimental table with her fingers, but she couldn't say a word.
"Blue-winged mosquito!"
"Death Judge!"
…
When they saw a green-winged mosquito sucking blood from the experimental tray on the experimental table, Zhang Yang and Putina shouted almost at the same time.
It turned out that while Catherine was concentrating on the experimental analysis, she suddenly felt something moving in her hair. Her instinctive reaction was to stir up her blond hair, and a green-winged mosquito fell on the table.
The fear can be imagined...
"This is the one just now..." He Shuqing shouted in surprise.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yang nodded.
Although it was just a simple word, it contained countless joy and excitement. Both of them understood what the appearance of the green-winged mosquito at this moment meant.
The water stains on the wings of green-winged mosquitoes are still wet. While sucking blood, they keep shaking their bodies to shake off the water stains.
It was probably because of this that it could not fly to the experimental table at once, but stopped on Catherine's hair to rest for a while, scaring the girl into panic.
At this time, the blood color on its wings has gradually faded, and even the belly that was as bulging as a blood drop now is much smaller...
"I'm going to see what's outside." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he eagerly jumped up to the window sill and looked downstairs.
A lot of the blood in the green-winged mosquito has been digested so quickly, but it can be seen from its color and behavior that the harm caused by the plague virus has gradually disappeared.
It itself has no immunity to the plague virus, otherwise it wouldn't be eager to leave just now. If you don't open the window and let it out, it may die at any time.
You must know that the dying look when it left just now is still fresh in everyone's memory.
It’s still raining heavily outside. With such a small body, it definitely can’t fly away in the rain. To be able to eliminate the plague virus from the body in such a short time, it must have sucked some kind of substance...
"Be careful, this is the third floor." He Shuqing was naturally looking forward to it, but she was worried about his safety, so she reminded him.
…
It was pitch black outside the window, and heavy raindrops fell from the sky on my body. My clothes were soaked in an instant, and I could clearly feel a dull pain.
However, Zhang Yang ignored this and looked downstairs along the wall. Except for a dense plant called ivy about one meter down, he found no other vegetation.
Creeper can grow almost anywhere in China. It is a plant with strong vitality. It likes to grow along walls, and some can even climb to the height of more than ten floors.
And here, this kind of plant is naturally more common, maybe because of the climate, the long branches and leaves are thicker and thicker.
Green-winged mosquitoes cannot fly far when it rains heavily, so the thing to control the plague should be related to these ivy. Thinking of this, Zhang Yang hooked the window with his toes, turned over lightly and drooped, and broke off a branch of the ivy in an inverted posture.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" When Zhang Yang came up with a piece of ivy in his hand, He Shu couldn't help but be a little disappointed and asked hurriedly.
After all, he is well-informed. Creepers can be seen everywhere in China, and he has never heard of any medicinal effects...
"I think it's this kind of plant." Zhang Yang jumped off the window sill and said.
"Oh, really? Is it really this?" He Shuqing asked with a hint of doubt on his face.
“You’ll never know until you try it.”
Zhang Yang was not sure, so he turned to Catherine, who had a pretty and frightened face, and said, "Can you do a test and analyze it to see if there are any ingredients that can inhibit the plague virus?"
"Why don't you just give it to Gerald and give it a try?" Pulina on the side thought that this was unnecessary and said.
"No, it will be safer and more reliable after the ingredients are tested."
Although the patient Gerald was nearby, he did not dare to try it on him rashly. It would be safer to conduct laboratory analysis first.
When a plant becomes a medicine to suppress a certain virus, regardless of the dosage or method, if it is used improperly, it will not only fail to have a therapeutic effect, but may even have the opposite effect and worsen the condition.
"Um."
After listening to Pulina's translation, Catherine nodded, but it was obvious that she had not yet come out of her panic. She glanced at the green-winged mosquitoes on the table and did not dare to approach.
Zhang Yang understood in his heart and smiled. The green-winged mosquito was very big and its movements were very clumsy. He walked forward and carefully grabbed the wings of the green-winged mosquito, then took an unused tray of laboratory utensils and placed it on the table.
.
The cold light flashed as he waved his arm, and the scissors in his hand cut an incision on its abdomen without any bias.
Snapped!
With a slight sound, the belly that was bulging just now deflated in an instant, and all the blood drops inside fell into the test vessel tray.
Catherine next to her was stunned for a moment, and even the well-informed He Shuqing had a look of surprise on her face...
Even though the green-winged mosquito is larger than ordinary mosquitoes, it is only in comparison. Zhang Yang's scissors were so fast and accurate that the two of them didn't even see them clearly, which could not help but surprise them.
"Hurry up and test! We don't have much time." Zhang Yang said with a smile, turned around, walked to the window, and threw the green-winged mosquito out.
It was already past four o'clock in the morning, and the entire hospital was extremely quiet, which made it easier for a few people to conduct laboratory analysis.
Once it gets daybreak, the dean and the others will definitely come over to take a look at the situation. After a busy night, several of them are already very tired. Even if they continue to study, the effect will be greatly reduced.
What's more, every additional day of delay will cause more patients to die.
Catherine naturally understood this, brushed her messy hair, walked quickly to the table, and began to fiddle with the instruments for laboratory analysis.
For the sake of accuracy and safety, she deliberately returned to Gerald, re-extracted the blood sample from the blood bubble, and then cut the ivy stems bit by bit with a blade, taking every step with extreme caution, and her focused look made her
Zhang Yang looked in a daze.
He had seen Feng Yanran work very hard, but it was a kind of dedication to the company. To put it bluntly, she forgot all about work, and time was extremely precious to her.
The girl in front of her is paying full attention to her. Time has no concept for her at this moment. Even other people in the office are like air to her.
Even if I occasionally look sideways, my eyes are full of clear contemplation...
The office became quiet again, no one spoke for fear of disturbing this girl.
Not to mention Zhang Yang, even He Shuqing, an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, could not understand the flashing images on the screen of the instrument, let alone two laymen, Putina and Gerald.
Seeing Catherine frowning, everyone became worried, fearing that this rare opportunity would come to nothing again...
"I see."
I don’t know how long it took, but Catherine finally spoke, turning her head and said to Putina: "There are indeed ingredients in this plant that can restrain the plague virus, but when combined with other ingredients, it cannot restrain the plague virus.
"
"Can't control the plague? But the green-winged mosquitoes have clearly recovered just now, which means that the plague virus in the body has disappeared." After listening to Putina's translation, Zhang Yang said in frustration and confusion.
"What do you mean..." He Shuqing became obviously calmer and asked.
He knew in his heart that if there was a component in the ivy that could restrain the plague virus, it would have been analyzed long ago. After all, the more domineering the plague virus was, the more obvious the effect of the restraining component would be.
He had already considered Catherine's hesitation just now, and it would definitely not go so smoothly.
Having been dealing with Chinese medicinal materials for many years, he also understands that the juice of any plant is mixed with water and mineral nutrients, and these ingredients play a key role in the growth of the plant, but on the contrary, they restrain and offset the medicinal effect.
.
With today's scientific and medical separation technology, it is not difficult to extract these ingredients, it just takes a long time.
But the harm caused by the outbreak and spread of the plague in front of us is so great, how can we have so much time?
"The internal organs of blue-winged mosquitoes must have the function of automatically filtering out other components, which is why they restrained the deterioration of the disease so quickly." Sure enough, Catherine explained patiently. (To be continued)
