Sylvia seethed with anger upon discovering the incident. "It's like everyone thinks they can be an influencer. Seeking attention by deceiving the public and fabricating stories, they're a bunch of disgusting people with no morality at all!"Having been a victim of similar situations, although it hadn't significantly impacted her life, it did affect her mood."Didn't we already mediate the situation?" Ruth questioned. "After the mediation, why did they still post such things online? How could these girls be so malicious? Find out where they are now. How dare they try to slander the Combat Department. It's really asking for trouble."Ruth had given them a chance before, so she decided to take action now. Even though Eric believed this incident wouldn't substantially impact him, it was still negative publicity. As a Lieutenant General, Ruth could not simply ignore it.On the other hand, Eric continued focusing on his work at the stadium. With no time to follow the news or pay attentio

Inside the stadium, Eric tirelessly attended to numerous severely infected patients. Despite the Combat Department's discovery of some effective medications, their impact remained limited for patients with severe symptoms. The human body operated on a delicate balance, and severe cases necessitated intervention to restore equilibrium.Eric's efforts were strenuous. He employed special acupoint techniques utilizing his inner energy to expedite the patients' recovery. However, a person's inner energy was finite.Taking a deep breath, Eric inserted all the silver needles into the patient. His approach was not a direct attack on the virus, as he lacked a specific method for complete eradication. Many holistic medicine treatments took indirect routes, utilizing the body's functions or potential to combat the virus.As Eric prepared to withdraw the needles, Winona and the other female students arrived unexpectedly."Sir!" they exclaimed, kneeling beside Eric. "Please spare us! We know we

The anticipated peak period had finally arrived, and the stadium was well-prepared with thorough scientific analysis, estimates, and the necessary supplies from Salt City, King City, and King City University. Meanwhile, the eight-hour work shift for holistic physicians had been extended to 12 hours to confront the impending surge.The influx of infected individuals entering the stadium had risen from over 2,000 to more than 3,000, excluding those who had already recovered and left.Equipped with knowledge of disinfection methods, Sylvia specifically assisted Eric in his efforts.As the number of infected individuals continued to rise, the workload for everyone increased. However, the understanding was that this peak would eventually pass.The Combat Department's laboratory persisted in its research on the virus. Given the virus' high mortality rate, nobody dared to be careless. Although the official work hours were set at 12, most individuals were putting in 14-15 hours.Even Rola

After the personnel from the Combat Department arrived in Salt City and assessed the situation, they immediately formulated response strategies. However, the decision to enforce a city lockdown was undoubtedly the best solution, given the rapidly spreading virus.After all, the virus relied on population movement, and the transmission route would be effectively cut off by restricting such movement.When Eric and Sylvia arrived in Salt City, the city's entrances and exits had already been sealed off. Only after Eric presented his Combat Department credentials were they allowed to enter the city."Vee, we've arrived in Salt City," Eric said as he parked the car.Sylvia had been sleeping throughout the journey. After a busy time in Dortmund City followed by a rushed return to Salt City upon receiving the news, she was understandably exhausted.Eric planned to rest at home first and deal with matters tomorrow. He wasn't tired, but Sylvia was.Upon arriving home, they found some veget

About ten elderly individuals, led by Eric, temporarily assumed responsibility for managing the stadium's related treatments.Meanwhile, upon returning to the Innova Group, Sylvia called for an emergency meeting with the company's top executives."Starting tomorrow, the production capacity at the factories will be halved! By the day after tomorrow, it will be reduced to 1/3. If the situation in Salt City isn't effectively controlled next week, we will directly shut down production!""What?!"The executives, including Andy, were astonished.The factory was a lucrative venture and the primary source of profit for the Innova Group. Although the company was involved in software, it paled in comparison to the income generated by hardware equipment. Shutting down production would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the company's finances, as they required substantial funds to keep the company running."I'm not making this decision lightly," Sylvia explained. "Mr. Johnson and I hav
