[Wu Bin dug up wild ginseng in the bushes, infused it in water, and drank it, gagging]
Once this campus post was published, the school leaders of the Agricultural University immediately went into battle-ready mode!
The telephone in the school leadership office was ringing incessantly, busier than a front-line command center.
They asked Vice Principal Zhou Tong to deal with inquiries from the Education Bureau, while Xu Wenyao didn't even bother to put on his coat and ran directly towards the boys' dormitory.
By the time Xu Wenyao arrived, Wu Bin had already been lifted onto the ambulance by medical personnel.
"Yang Kang, what on earth is going on!"
Xu Wenyao felt like he was about to lose his mind.
It had just been a few peaceful days!
How could another incident occur!
Yang Kang was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Principal Xu, let's talk on the car, please take ours."
This time He Bingbing and the cameraman failed to get on the ambulance.
Because when the hospital heard that Wu Bin had been poisoned, a group of experts fought to accompany the ambulance, leaving no room for them.
Taking Xu Wenyao and Yang Kang on a new service vehicle, He Bingbing felt a bit excited.
After all, the popularity in her live-streaming room had been gradually declining over the past few days, and the photography team was anxious too.
They had thought Wu Bin's popularity was waning.
But then, Wu Bin had directly given them a "lie down."
The photography team was moved.
"This kid is really something, he truly helps out in a pinch!"
Once seated in the car, Yang Kang's emotions stabilized a bit.
Xu Wenyao asked gravely,
"Now tell me, what exactly happened, why did Wu Bin pass out again?"
Yang Kang showed a smile uglier than crying.
"Principal, Wu Bin didn't just faint this time, he was poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
Xu Wenyao was puzzled.
"Food poisoning? But that can't be, I eat in the cafeteria three times a day and I'm fine."
Yang Kang said: "Wu Bin went into the bushes on his way back to the dorm and dug something up."
"He thought it was ginseng, so he took it back and infused it in water to drink."
"That's when he got poisoned."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenyao felt a sense of foreboding.
"What was it?"
Yang Kang took out a black plastic bag from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to Xu Wenyao, whose face immediately turned deathly pale.
"This is ginseng? This is Shang Lu!"
Xu Wenyao started to tremble, feeling an icy chill spread through his limbs.
This was dug up from the school's bushes!
What did this imply?
It implied there were flaws in the school's management!
He Bingbing hadn't yet realized the gravity of the situation and asked,
"Principal Xu, what is Shang Lu, is it poisonous?"
After a long silence, Xu Wenyao finally spoke,
"Let me put it this way, Shang Lu was the last herb tried by Shennong when he tasted hundreds of plants."
Hiss!
Everyone inhaled sharply.
Nobody had expected that Shang Lu had such a notorious reputation!
The live-streaming room was in an uproar too.
"Worthy of my Brother Wu, straight up tackling the hell difficulty level!"
"I just looked it up, Shang Lu is highly toxic, more than seven grams can be lethal, what Wu Bin swallowed earlier must have exceeded that, right?"
"That's definitely too much, he first infused it in water, then ingested it, that's full release of the poison and complete absorption."
"No wonder the instructor looks so troubled, isn't this the same as drinking paraquat directly?"
"Are you saying that Principal Xu's face looks any better?"
"Going by what you're saying, Brother Wu is done for, isn't he?"
"Don't be afraid, believe in Brother Wu. He's survived a heart attack, what's a Shang Lu to him, is it that impressive?"
"Shennong: 6"
The ambulance arrived at the hospital, where Dean Li Guotai had been waiting along with the directors of various departments for quite some time.
As soon as Wu Bin was lifted from the ambulance, a group of senior professors took over the work from the nurses.
"Where's the campus doctor? What's the situation this time?"
Campus Doctor Xie Shan hurriedly jogged up to Li Guotai, extremely respectful.
"Dean Li, Wu Bin has accidentally ingested Shang Lu."
Hiss!
The moment Xie Shan uttered these words, the pupils of all the doctors present shook.
Shang Lu!
How could anyone accidentally consume that?'
Only Li Guotai remained relatively composed and continued to inquire, "How much did he ingest?"
Xie Shan gestured with his little finger.
"About fifteen grams or so."
Li Guotai immediately turned the direction of the emergency cart and roared orders:
"Take him straight to the resuscitation room!"
"Have the emergency department and the internal medicine team prepared for resuscitation!"
At Dean Li's command, all the doctors became busy, as chaotic as a battlefield.
Spurt.
Just then, a large mouthful of dirty blood spewed from Wu Bin's mouth, soaking through his shirt in an instant— a horrific sight!
"Dean, the patient has started vomiting blood clots."
Li Guotai's heart sank sharply.
Vomiting blood was normal.
But vomiting blood clots? What the hell was that?
Could it mean that his internal organs were nearly failing?
"Dean, the patient's heart rate has dropped to 43!"
"Dean, the patient's blood oxygen saturation has decreased to 35!"
A series of dire news struck; Wu Bin's body indicators plummeted drastically!
It was only then that Li Guotai realized Wu Bin's heart was strong and vigorous, making his blood circulate much faster than that of an ordinary person.
This also meant that the toxins would spread faster in his body and the onset would be more fierce!
For the first time, Li Guotai felt helpless on where to begin.
Wu Bin's indicators were all too poor to sustain!
"Immediately perform gastric lavage and establish an IV line!"
Click.
The doors to the resuscitation room closed.
But the frantic scene of the medical team left a deep impression on everyone.
The mood in the live stream room became less optimistic as well.
"It seems really serious this time, you guys saw how he vomited blood just now, it was terrifying."
"After all, it's something that sent Shennong off, how could it not be powerful?"
"I've worked in a hospital before, I'll tell it like it is, aside from some specific toxins, once most of them spread, it's pretty much up to fate."
"Simply put, it's about washing the stomach as quickly as possible to flush out the toxins that haven't been absorbed yet; if they have been absorbed, then you can only rely on your own immune system."
"Is it really that bad? I thought getting to the hospital would mean the toxins could be neutralized."
"You've watched too many TV shows, my friend. Poisons are the most fierce things, and generally, there is no specific antidote."
"I suggest you learn a bit about parathion. That stuff is genuinely beyond salvation, and what's worse, the way it takes you out is painful."
"They give you time to regret, but no chance to change the outcome."
The popularity in the live stream room soared once again to three hundred thousand, hitting a new peak!
But this time, He Bingbing and the photography team were not as happy as they had imagined they would be.
In the beginning, they thought Wu Bin's poisoning was minor and that he would be all right after being taken to the hospital.
But now they realized that Wu Bin's poisoning was so severe it was even more dangerous than having a heart attack!
They might have wanted popularity but didn't want to profit from someone's suffering.
Yang Kang and Xu Wenyao also felt a heavy burden on their hearts.
Especially Yang Kang, whose eyes were swollen from crying.
Remember, not long ago, Yang Kang was a hulking man, an iron-willed instructor.
But in just a few days, he was nearly driven mad by his worry for Wu Bin.
Dire!
It was simply too dire!
