Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132
"We can give you the formula, but producing the antidote requires special pharmaceutical equipment. The lab here can make one or two doses without issue, but there’s no way to scale up production."
Sun Yu reminded anxiously.
"I have my own way for that."
Tang Ming gave a dismissive smile.
Tangming Group is a pharmaceutical company. As long as there’s a formula, they can produce the antidote in no time.
Then Tang Ming sent the formula to Zhou Jian, instructing him to produce a batch of the antidote as quickly as possible, naming it Tang Ming Special Oral Solution No.1, specifically to deal with this sudden illness outbreak.
By this time, the hospital was already overcrowded. Many patients had no beds and could only lie in the hospital lobby accompanied by their relatives, waiting.
The doctors were overwhelmed, with hundreds and thousands of patients flooding the hospital, they simply lacked the manpower.
All medical staff were mobilized, yet they still couldn’t handle this mass poisoning incident, eventually having to clear out a building of the inpatient department to use as a quarantine area for all the comatose patients.
Such a large-scale poisoning incident had already alarmed the police. Officers were sent over to help seal off Inpatient Building No.3, allowing entry but not exit, to prevent further spread of the virus.
In An Sheng’s office, Nangong Tianyue stood by the window, smiling as he gazed at Inpatient Building No.3 sealed off by the police across the way.
"Young Master, you can’t do this."
An Sheng, drenched in sweat, entered the office, anxiously looking at Nangong Tianyue: "There are already one thousand three hundred patients in quarantine, and the situation has become so large that if it goes out of control, the authorities might respond with more than just police deployment."
"With Ming Group backing us, what are you afraid of?"
Nangong Tianyue said coldly and joyfully, "One thousand three hundred live experimental subjects, if even one survives, it could be a groundbreaking boost for our research. This time we will definitely succeed."
"Young Master! SNB0 hasn’t succeeded yet, now so many people are poisoned, in seven days over a thousand people could die. If the authorities investigate, we are finished."
An Sheng reminded, pale with fear. He could handle killing a few, maybe dozens, but not hundreds or thousands; the pressure was unbearable.
At this moment, he truly regretted not listening to Old Master An’s advice; the man in front of him, Nangong Tianyue, was a maniac, an utter madman.
"Just over a thousand, if they die, they die."
Nangong Tianyue scoffed coldly, "If SNB0 succeeds, it will certainly raise human civilization a significant step; sacrificing these few is nothing."
"No buts, just fulfill your duties and monitor these live subjects for me, no need for further nonsense."
Nangong Tianyue impatiently reprimanded, "The number of patients will not increase anymore."
An Sheng sighed helplessly and left the office to continue his work.
Soon, the hospital announced that all the comatose had been infected by a new virus, and said that the disease was currently incurable, with certain death if infected within seven days.
Upon hearing the news, all the patients’ families broke down; over a thousand infected, with tens of thousands of relatives in total.
These people blocked the hospital, refusing to leave, and faced with such a hopeless outcome, they were consumed by grief with no other options.
Under media reports, the news of more than a thousand people in Songlan City being stricken with a terminal illness exploded like an atomic bomb, devastating the entire city.
A large number of citizens fled Songlan City in panic, while many others felt the apocalypse had arrived, resorting to last-ditch madness, looting and vandalizing everywhere.
The police were overwhelmed trying to maintain order, unable to control the panic-stricken citizens.
Strangely, though, despite such a major upheaval in Songlan City, the authorities had yet to dispatch any special departments to handle the situation.
Generally, when a city experiences an overwhelming major change, the authorities would have directly sealed off the entire city, yet there was no movement at all.
With the officials not stepping in, Songlan City’s citizens became even more fearful, furthering the chaos.
Just as Songlan City’s situation was about to spiral out of control, to the point where even the police couldn’t maintain order, Tangming Group suddenly held a press conference through the media, announcing that they had developed a lifesaving antidote, Tang Ming Special Detoxification Liquid No.1.
The moment this news broke, Tangming Group became the focal point for all forces!
Even the city’s top leaders personally visited Tangming Group to meet with Zhou Jian to discuss treatment solutions.
Subsequent events were foreseeable: after successfully treating a batch of people, Tangming Group fully gained the people’s trust, and then Tang Ming Special Oral Solution became a hit again.
Not only did the poisoned need to buy the oral solution, but all the city’s residents began frantically purchasing it as a precaution.
Nobody knew how this virus attack began, nor if there would be another, so the public frantically bought Tang Ming’s special medicine for self-protection.
A world-ending storm swept through Songlan City, but thanks to Tangming Group’s intervention, it soon calmed down.
Learning that the plan had failed, Nangong Tianyue nearly went insane with anger!
Causing such a major disturbance, having the Ming Group prevent the authorities from intervening in Songlan City, involving over a thousand people, only to have it dissolve into nothingness.
"Young Master, we really can’t cause such a big commotion again!"
In the laboratory, An Sheng pleaded as he watched Nangong Tianyue busy at the experiment table: "Otherwise, with things getting so out of hand, Songlan City can’t take it. If it gets militarily sealed, we’re screwed."
"What nonsense, I said there’s Ming Group behind us, no need to worry."
Nangong Tianyue turned back fiercely, with his eyes red, glaring at An Sheng.
An Sheng was startled, pulling his neck back and murmuring a reminder: "But don’t forget, it’s not only Ming Group’s world right now, there’s also the Dark Group. Ming Group might withstand one or two times, but if it happens repeatedly, Dark Group will definitely intervene, and by then even Ming Group won’t have a way."
Nangong Tianyue regained calm, his face becoming solemn.
Only then did he remember there was another, currently thriving, Dark Group. If they did alert the top levels of the Dark Group, Ming Group probably wouldn’t be able to keep the information sealed.
"Got it, I won’t create such a huge scene again in the future."
Nangong Tianyue took a deep breath and coldly asked, "Where is Tang Ming now?"
