Chapter 307 - Chapter 468: I Believe

"What is this?"After Chen Mo took out the medicine box stamped with the Haixing Company logo, all the medical experts in the research institute looked at Chen Mo."The agent sent by Haixing Company." Chen Mo said.Haixing Company?The experts on the scene looked at each other, seemingly not having much of an impression of this company."Haixing Company is a pharmaceutical company indirectly controlled by the Army Ant Group." Wu Bing reminded them slightly, and everyone suddenly realized.Opening the medicine box, they saw a dozen blue agents lying quietly inside. While everyone was confused, Chen Mo spoke: "This is a special agent I had the Jianghe Microbiological Research Institute develop to reduce the activity of the virus. It is called Sea Star 3 (HX3).""A special agent to reduce virus activity?" Shi Hongtu exclaimed, looking hesitantly at the hx3 agent in the box: "Do you mean that this agent is effective against the vfv virus?""The report from the research institute shows that it can reduce the activity of the vfv virus, but it cannot kill the vfv virus." Chen Mo said."Really?" Shi Hongtu excitedly grabbed Chen Mo's palm, eager to know the answer.Research on the vfv virus until now had yielded no progress; they had tried many methods and drugs, all of which failed. Now that Chen Mo was telling him that the hx3 agent was effective against the vfv virus, he couldn't help but be excited. Even if it couldn't eradicate it, at least he saw hope."This is the report from the research institute, including experimental data. As for how it will actually perform, we have to see the clinical results." Chen Mo handed the report sent by Xu Minsheng to Shi Hongtu and the others."Great, that's great."Shi Hongtu and the others looked at the report, exceptionally excited. Although the AG72 developed by the World Health Organization could inhibit viral metabolism, it had just been released, and while it was shared for free with the authorities of various countries, its effect was limited. The effect of AG72 could only last for about a week. After a week, it had to be re-injected to continuously inhibit the deterioration of the VFV condition."Test the effects of these agents immediately."Shi Hongtu issued the order, letting the team members leave to start testing the hx3 agent. If that path didn't work, they had to find another path."You had Haixing Company send these drugs over—is it to treat Zhao Min? Do you have a treatment plan?" On the way back to her laboratory, Wu Bing looked at Chen Mo."Yes, there is a specific plan, but it needs to be verified." Chen Mo said."Can you tell me about it?"Just as the two were talking about the treatment plan, a hurried voice interrupted them. A nurse ran over, her face full of anxiety."What's wrong?""Ms. Zhao's condition has changed." The nurse said."What?" Chen Mo's body stiffened, and he walked quickly toward the isolation room. Following him, Wu Bing and the nurse also followed closely."Tell me about her situation." At this moment, Chen Mo's eyes were somewhat anxious."Ms. Zhao was fine when she woke up this morning. Just now, she said she had chest tightness, and little red spots grew on her body, so I hurriedly came to inform you." The nurse was almost jogging to barely keep up with Chen Mo's pace.Not long after, the three of them put on protective suits and entered Zhao Min's isolation room.However, Zhao Min was still in bed watching a movie, her expression calm, seemingly unaffected by the virus outbreak."Let me see."Chen Mo walked to the bedside. Without waiting for her to answer, he grabbed Zhao Min's arm and rolled up her sleeve. Sure enough, he saw red bean-like spots on her arm, sparse and numbering over a dozen, which were exceptionally glaring against her fair skin. Immediately after, Chen Mo flipped through the collar of Zhao Min's hospital gown; between her collarbones and on her neck, spots had also appeared.There were no terrifying pustules or red spots like when other patients had outbreaks, but as time passed, the condition would worsen, and pustules and blood spots would appear.The vfv virus on Zhao Min's body had broken out, and Chen Mo felt a stone hanging in his heart."How are you feeling now?" Chen Mo asked while examining her."I'm fine. Apart from a bit of chest tightness, there's no difference." Zhao Min allowed Chen Mo to examine her body and answered calmly."These places aren't itchy, right? Do you have a fever or any other discomfort?"Chen Mo pointed to the red spots on her arm."They aren't itchy, and I don't have a fever." Feeling Chen Mo's concern, Zhao Min revealed a relaxed smile: "I won't die, right?""Don't worry, the treatment plan is already taking shape, and we are preparing for clinical trials. If it succeeds, I can cure you." Chen Mo patted Zhao Min's hand, signaling her to be at ease."Then it's fine. You still owe me a hug, you can't run away. I don't have any major discomfort right now, so go and do your work; now is not the time to waste time." Zhao Min said."Keep an optimistic attitude, leave the rest to me, and believe that I will cure you."Zhao Min and Chen Mo looked at each other and smiled."I believe you."After taking Zhao Min's temperature and finishing the examination, Chen Mo and Wu Bing went to Lan Xi's isolation room to check the situation again before leaving the isolation area and rushing to the research institute.Now that Zhao Min's condition was deteriorating, Chen Mo felt a sense of crisis in his heart.Although slow, Zhao Min's condition was indeed deteriorating continuously. Within a month, he had to come up with the treatment plan; otherwise, a month later, no one would know what unpredictable consequences the continued deterioration of the condition would bring.Fortunately, the HX3 had been successfully developed and sent over, so his next plan could be tested....Haixing Company successfully developed a special agent to reduce viral metabolic activity, which is effective against most RNA viruses and can delay the onset of VFV. It is currently preparing for clinical trials.This news, as if it had grown wings, caused a sensation once again.This was the second company to announce the successful development of a drug against the vfv virus, following the World Health Organization's 72-person team.Haixing Company is most famous for its breast enhancement drug and the side-effect-free 'Viagra.' These two drugs are women's favorites and men's miracle products. Except for the beginning, when everyone paid attention to Haixing Company, they gradually forgot about it later, only knowing the company's products.Now that it has appeared in the public eye again, many people have focused on the background of Haixing Company: it is a pharmaceutical company founded by a joint venture between the Luo Family and Jianghe Pharmaceutical, which is a subsidiary of the Army Ant Group.It has the backing of the Army Ant Group.This fact made more people ecstatic.Since its establishment, the Army Ant Group has been synonymous with the most advanced technology. The name Chen Mo is even more of a mountain in the hearts of countless scientific researchers.The news that a company under the Army Ant Group had released a special agent for VFV excited many people, especially within China, where infected people were ecstatic upon hearing this news.The day after the news was announced, the Ministry of Health released an announcement allowing Haixing Company to use the hx3 agent for human clinical trials.Immediately after, the World Health Organization sent word, dispatching personnel to seek cooperation with Haixing Company, and also obtained a batch of untested HX3 through official channels for emergencies.In a short period of time, two pieces of good news allowed patients to see a glimmer of hope.Previously, they could only watch helplessly as their VFV condition deteriorated, unable to do anything, and then die in despair. Now, at least there was a bit of a treatment plan and hope.But it is regrettable that whether it is the monoclonal antibody AG72 from the World Health Organization's 72-person team or the HX3 from Haixing Company, both agents only stop the continued deterioration of the condition and cannot truly eradicate the vfv virus.The clinical performance of both drugs reached the desired effect, which is a good result. As the production of both drugs increased, they put a brake on the VFV epidemic at the edge of being out of control.Just as the world was rejoicing that the epidemic had been initially brought under control, bigger news came out.
