Chapter 428 Amulet

It can be cured, but not completely curable.

Taking medicine before being infected is ineffective. If an infected person takes medicine, he can be cured of the plague and will not become a madman.

However, it is useless for infected people who have already become ill to take medicine. The body's mutations are irreversible, and the onset of the disease is equivalent to complete hopelessness.

"Isn't this just a rabies vaccine? No, the rabies vaccine can still have a metabolic period of half a year. Taking this medicine in advance is useless."

Although he said this, when he thought about it carefully, it was surprisingly reasonable.

Just drink it and you'll be cured directly. That's not medicine, it's fairy beans.

Medications can only treat, not rebuild the body.

Once the body has been mysteriously contaminated and irreversible damage has occurred, it is a reasonable result that it cannot be recovered.

"Although I don't know what rabies is or what a vaccine is, it is useless to take it in advance." Dr. Swain sighed. "It would be easier to deal with if the plague was only transmitted by being caught and bitten. No matter who it was. Just drink a bottle of medicine before biting it, but the key is that there is another way of transmission.”

"Yes, cereals." Lynch also said with a wry smile, "No one knows whether they are eating problematic cereals, so unless they take a bottle of medicine after every meal, the chance of getting sick depends on their fate. If this continues, there may be a risk of the plague breaking out at any time.”

"Well, there is no need to be so pessimistic." Dr. Swain was very optimistic. "As long as little Jack's body can be destroyed, the spread can be interrupted, the bites will no longer be contagious, and all the problematic grains can be burned. , the city is safe. The effect of the medicine is not ideal, but it can’t save more people. The plague can still be controlled.”

What I am pessimistic about is not your place. What I am pessimistic about is our era in the Fifth Age.

Lynch sighed softly.

Through Dr. Swain's conclusion, he could already predict the effect of the drug developed by Ms. Nightingale.

It's very reasonable. It can only be said that everyone before, including professionals like Nightingale, were influenced by emotions and held too high expectations. In fact, those real patients who have become ill in the Fifth Epoch are probably as hopeless as the situation here.

Moreover, the plague in the Fifth Age also had another way of spreading, and it happened randomly across the air.

Only when symptoms appear, it is confirmed that the disease has occurred, but at this time, taking medicine is useless. In other words, unless the target of infection can be accurately predicted, the drug will not be able to help those patients at all. When the outbreak of theocracy subsides in more than a month and the airborne disease ends, there will still be hundreds of thousands of infected people around the world as Nightingale predicted.

What's even more frightening is that just returning to Little Jack here can interrupt the spread. This is not possible in the Fifth Epoch. Even if the airborne spread stops, the infectiousness of the infected person will still remain. Once bitten by one of these infected people, unless the medicine is taken within three or four hours, it will still become a new source of infection and continue to spread the plague.

Perhaps in the end, with the popularization of drugs, it will not develop into a catastrophic disaster, but the number of deaths may be one or two more than expected.

"Maybe it's not that serious." Diana could vaguely guess Lynch's worries, holding his hand and lowering her voice to comfort him, "After all, we have the supreme care."

"And even if it's the same as here, so what?" Officer Natalie, who understood Lynch's mentality best, sneered, "You just want to alleviate the impact of your behavior, you don't owe anyone, just try your best That’s fine, there’s nothing to worry about. Besides, you’ve come this far, do you still plan to go back empty-handed? Try to bring the fruits back, and professionals will handle the rest. Are you still planning to perform your duties for the Church of Tribulation? ?”

"That's not okay." Miss Diana covered her mouth and laughed softly, "By doing this, you are competing with the church for faith. Are you going to bully our Lord on behalf of Lady Red Moon?"

"I bullied her? The one look she took at me a few days ago almost killed me."

Lin Qi pouted, but his mood instantly improved. Indeed, as long as there is medicine, it will not develop into a catastrophic disaster, and at worst it can be downgraded from a crisis to a siege, which is already very good. Everyone performs his or her duties and does his or her best. There are so many big bosses, so who has to worry about me?

What's more, I don't owe the world anything. At most, I just want to help my neighbors protect the world. As long as I try my best, I can accept it calmly no matter what the final result is.

【Um】

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"

"Nothing, just mourning my eight crazy heads."

No longer obsessed with the effect of the medicine, Lynch laid out a bunch of sick fruits and performed a fruit bite on the spot for Dr. Swain.

Dr. Swain's expression became strange: "No matter what you plan to do with the Human Face Fruit, you can't use these. This thing has been distorted by filth, and the effect will be very strange."

"Um?"

"Such materials will present the effect you want in the way you least expect. For example, when I traveled before, I saw someone making a wishing monkey's paw, but accidentally used polluting materials. The man made a wish for good health and no pain, and then he was killed by a falling rock.”

"Never get sick again?"

"Well, so never use this thing, and don't try to take advantage of its counter-productive properties. The rules are the rules, and they are not something that living beings can play with casually."

"Well, then we can only pin our hopes on the last batch." Lin Qi sighed and put away the eight fruits. Suddenly realizing something, he asked, "What you meant just now is that this thing has other uses besides disgusting people?"

"Well, for example, making some amulets, although it is troublesome, but the effect is good. If you are interested and can provide normal fruits, I can make a few for you."

"What is the use?"

"Amulets, to keep you safe, you will know the specific function when it takes effect."

It's really insincere, and I don't know if it can be brought Going out, according to the human-faced fruit that can be taken out, there should be hope, so don't miss it, Lynch asked impolitely: "Is it fast?"

"It's okay, mainly because of the trouble with the materials, but I just saved a few copies, and I can make it in a few hours."

"Then it's settled." Lynch finally got a lot of wool on this trip. Although he didn't know what the effect was, he was satisfied and finally remembered the business, "Now the medicine has been prepared, there is no need to worry about the contamination of the corpse. Should we..."

"Bang."

The door of the preparation room was knocked open, and Knight Terry rushed in.

"Something happened." The knight spoke in the local language and said hurriedly, "Someone saw several infected lunatics biting people in several different locations in the city, and many people were injured."

Huh? Didn't control it after all?

The five people looked at each other and felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, it was delayed until the medicine was prepared, so there was no need to worry about the outbreak of the whole city in a short time.

"Where did the infected come from?"

"It is said that they were a few travelers."

"It is said?" Lynch asked, "Didn't your people see the infected?"

"No." Terry said distressedly, "I don't know where they ran off to."

Huh?

Lynch was stunned and realized that something was wrong.
