Xiao Yue thanked him and rushed to the fence made of bamboo poles. Indeed, soldiers were placed encircling the first and second layer of the pointy fence, and someone as always sat at the top of the lookout tower to see what was happening as far as eyes could reach. Xiao Yue wondered if the war had already started. All she could do was work on the antidote, waiting and praying for everyone to come back safely.
Synthesizing an antidote from the blood was one thing, testing it was another. They did not have any patients to test it on, so after working hard for three days and three nights, Xiao Yue and the hospital staff surrounded the little vial of antidote and wondered.
"Brother Chen, do you think it will work?" Caretaker Wang elbowed Medic Chen.
"How am I supposed to know? Come, I will rub some toxin on you and then give you the antidote. See if you survive."
