Chapter 790: Chapter 328: Spider Platform_3 Chapter 790: Chapter 328: Spider Platform_3 Yan Fei took the security of Dream Island Laboratory very seriously, so apart from himself, no one else around him was granted access to the lab. It was only when he learned that Wen Rou had urgent matters to discuss with him that he granted her temporary access.
Guided by “Dream,” Wen Rou arrived at the room where Yan Fei and Yang Qi were. As soon as she saw Yan Fei, she appeared anxious and said, “Little Fei, it's not good, the Ebola outbreak has re-emerged in Africa. As of now, at least a thousand people have died from the Ebola Virus, and the number of those infected has even surpassed fifty thousand.”
Yan Fei was stunned and said, “Our company has d a large amount of funds for disease prevention in Africa, mainly for the control of the Ebola Virus on the African continent, and it has achieved good results. How could Africa suddenly experience a large-scale outbreak of Ebola?”
Yan Fei and Wen Rou's acquaintance began in Aywei Village next to Africa's highest peak. At that time, Wen Rou, along with the Doctors Without Borders, was fighting the Ebola outbreak in Africa when she rescued Yan Fei, who had been knocked unconscious by a bomb and had floated downstream, from the river. Only then did they truly get to know each other and develop a romantic relationship.
To commemorate his meeting with Wen Rou in Africa, Yan Fei had always wanted to develop a medicine and vaccine to completely eradicate the rampant spread of the Ebola Virus across the African continent. Regrettably, over the years, although Yan Fei had developed treatments for two incurable diseases, he was still unable to unlock the secrets of the Ebola Virus and thus unable to treat Ebola virus-infected patients.
In a helpless move, Yan Fei resorted to using the Dream Charity Fund to large sums of money, aiming to provide protection against the spread of the Ebola Virus at its source, to completely isolate humans from the Ebola Virus. As long as there was no contact with the Ebola Virus, humans naturally wouldn't have the chance to be infected.
Originally, this plan had been going very well. Over the past few years, there was no news of a new Ebola outbreak in Africa, and the plan had saved countless lives. No one anticipated that the Ebola outbreak would re-emerge on the African continent, and the situation would become so severe. Not only had thousands died, but the number of infected had even exceeded fifty thousand.
Wen Rou, who had always been in charge of the Ebola Virus isolation plan, was a kind-hearted girl. She was always haunted by the thought of those killed by the Ebola Virus and wanted to help them overcome the threat. Therefore, she took the Virus's devastation to heart. When the outbreak occurred so suddenly, Wen Rou rushed to seek help from Yan Fei. In her mind, Yan Fei was all-powerful; he had cured AIDS and cancer patients, so naturally, he could handle this Ebola outbreak as well.
But Yan Fei wasn't as powerful as Wen Rou imagined. He said with regret, “Little Rou, I'm sorry. Although I've been researching the Ebola Virus for years, I still haven't found a way to treat those infected with it.”
Wen Rou felt somewhat disappointed. If even Yan Fei couldn't treat Ebola virus-infected patients, then who in the world could address such a viral threat to humans?
Just as Wen Rou was feeling disappointed, Yang Qi suddenly spoke up, “Yan Fei, I just forgot to tell you, our laboratory has recently cracked the genetic map of the Ebola Virus and found a way to kill it, and based on that, we've created a medicine to eradicate the Ebola Virus. It's just that we haven't yet found a way to implant the Ebola Virus antibodies into the human immune system, which is why I haven't told you about it.”
Yan Fei was overjoyed, not expecting that Yang Qi would suddenly give him such a surprise. The outbreak of the Ebola Virus had nothing to do with him, nor did he care about the lives or deaths of those African people. But since this was a matter of great concern to Wen Rou, he naturally wanted to handle it well, not wanting to disappoint her. Therefore, upon learning that there was a method to control the Ebola Virus, he was delighted.
Yang Qi said, “Although this medicine can kill the Ebola Virus, it's not as effective as the medicines researched by Yan Fei. Because Yan Fei's medicine has no side effects, whereas mine does have some side effects on the human body.”
Wen Rou immediately asked, “What exactly are the side effects of your medicine? Is it severely harmful to the human body?”
Yang Qi replied, “My medicine might have a negative impact on the human eyes, causing their vision to decrease. But not everyone will experience this side effect, and it isn't very serious; it won't lead to blindness.”
Wen Rou felt relieved and said, “If it's only a reduction in vision for some patients, then the side effects of the medicine are still acceptable. Compared to death, a partial loss of vision is inconsequential. By the way, can this medicine be produced immediately?”
Yang Qi said, “We have a ready-made laboratory and a full supply of raw materials. So, give us a week, and we can produce two million doses of the medicine, which should be enough to treat those infected with the Ebola Virus.”
Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, not only Wen Rou but also Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Dream Island Laboratory had just decoded the secret of the Ebola Virus and developed a medicine for treating Ebola virus-infected patients. Perhaps, because there hadn't been an outbreak for so many years, Yang Qi didn't think the invention was important, which is why he hadn't mentioned it to Yan Fei. Moreover, the medicine wasn't perfect and had some side effects, but it was already capable of saving those infected with the Ebola Virus.
Looking at the delighted Wen Rou, Yang Qi said, “Miss Wen Rou, I've done you a big favor, so could you also do me a big favor in return?”
Wen Rou replied cheerfully, “Thank you, Yang Qi, you've really helped me a lot. I express my gratitude on behalf of those infected with the Ebola Virus, so I will definitely help you with your favor.”
Yang Qi explained, “The thing is, we've invented a device that can detect human brainwave activity, but we've always been lacking a subject for concrete testing. Thus, I hope that you would volunteer to be our test subject and help us complete the performance testing of this product.”
