Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

446-450

Just in case, Yun Xi had reminded Zhao Yumo to be vigilant about anything she ate in school, especially from her thermos that she kept under her desk.

In the cold weather, almost every student had a thermos from which they drank water.

The more difficult it was to guard against, the more they had to beware.

After Zhao Yumo was tipped off, in order to keep up her act, she continued to pour water every day into her cup, but she didn't dare actually drink it.

The same went for Yun Xi. In order to deceive anyone who might be watching her, her life appeared to go on as usual.

After coming out of school, she and Zhao Yumo got into Mu Feichi's car, which he had arranged for them, and asked the driver to take them both to Su Hang's laboratory in order to test the water in their thermoses.

They did these tests every day, and, as expected, poison was detected only in Yun Xi's drinking glass.

On the other hand, in Zhao Yumo's cup, a virus had been detected in the place where the cup touched Zhao Yumo's lips.

"Girls, who did you two offend? Not only is there poison, but viruses as well."

Her face gloomy, Yun Xi looked at the viroplasm magnified many times under a microscope.

"This virus was probably cultivated in a laboratory. It's an infectious virus that can make people seem like they simply have a cold or a fever, but it can invade and kill all the cells of the immune system. It is likely to cause fever, bleeding, infection, and vomiting. Worst case scenario: dehydration, heart failure, or death."

When Yun Xi read this aloud, Zhao Yumo's legs grew weak with terror.

Fortunately, she hadn't drunk any of the water in the cup or touched her lips to the cup. She'd just put on an act of pouring water into the cup.

She couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been if she'd actually contracted this type of virus.

"Don't be nervous. Su Hang, you can give her a blood test. I called Young Marshal Mu and asked him to bring some clothes over. Now, all the things we've touched have to be disinfected, just in case."

Su Hang nodded. "Okay."

"Yumo, don't be nervous. Although this virus is transmitted easily enough, it also requires a living environment and certain conditions to infect people. You should wait for your examination before we worry. Let's assume that nothing is wrong."

"Yun Xi, what about you? You..." Moving farther away from the experiment table, Zhao Yumo looked at her worriedly. "You have to be careful, this is a virus."

"I'm a medical student, so I know about this sort of thing much better than you do. I know how to protect myself against it, so don't worry. Go on in there quickly now and have your blood test."

After receiving Yun Xi's call, Mu Feichi and Jiang Chenghuan rushed over at lightning speed. A new type of virus had appeared in Jingdu. No one dared to take it lightly.

Waiting for Mu Feichi and Jiang Chenghuan to arrive, Yun Xi stood by the door of the laboratory while thinking about how to deal with the virus and deciding to research antiviral drugs.

If someone had created this virus in a laboratory, it meant that person wanted to use this virus for some malicious purpose.

Once people got infected with the virus, any newly researched medicines would quickly sell out.

This wasn't a good thing. Strictly speaking, it was already a threat to society.

Carrying two large boxes in their hands, Mu Feichi and Jiang Chenghuan arrived. In addition to protective clothing, there was some disinfection equipment inside the boxes.
