Eric's clothes were drenched. Sylvia touched him and then headed to the car, fetching a fresh set of clothes to assist him in changing.-Dawn had already broken when Eric abruptly awoke. His body was covered in sweat while his clothes soaked once more. Despite this, his condition had notably improved."You're awake?!" Sylvia couldn't contain her joy.Naturally, Eric was surprised and pleased to see her, but he suddenly recalled something that sparked a hint of anger. "Sylvia, why are you here? Why did you come? Don't you realize that Dortmund City is extremely dangerous right now?"He felt uneasy. Despite his physical prowess, he had succumbed to infection. Hence, he worried about Sylvia facing the same fate.Sylvia smiled. "Valerie informed me that you appeared to be infected with the virus and collapsed, so I rushed over. If I hadn't come, who would take care of you?"Though visibly fatigued, she was genuinely happy. As long as Eric was alright, everything was fine.Sylvia f
Due to Sylvia's arrival, some minor adjustments were made to the living arrangements, specifically creating a separate room for Eric and Sylvia.Everyone was busy, and even Eric immersed himself in work once again. The combination of acupuncture, therapy, and herbal decoctions worked better for his recovery.Seeing Eric's condition improve, Sylvia felt more relieved.After taking a stroll around the sports stadium, she found Eric. "Why is there nothing in the kitchen?"Eric put away the silver needles and asked, "What do you want to do?""Cook!" Sylvia said, "Everyone is busy, and I thought I could cook since I have nothing to do!"Eric was speechless. He looked at Sylvia and asked, "Do you know what salt looks like? Do you know the difference between hot sauce and vinegar?"In Eric's impression, Sylvia had never set foot in the kitchen. It was not surprising that Sylvia did not know those things. The Williams treated her like a princess since childhood, and they even had chefs
The virus was terrifying, but it was not incurable. For a physician of Eric's level, handling one or a few cases was as easy as a piece of cake. However, the number of infected was increasing every day. Without proper rest, Eric's inner energy was naturally depleted."I see!" Ruth glanced at Eric and said, "It's like his body has been emptied?""That's about right," Winston said with a smile.Just when Ruth wanted to say more, someone from the Combat Department approached. "Ma'am, Sir, through our unremitting efforts, we've analyzed some information about the virus!"Ruth's eyes lit up. "Show us!"Since the appearance of the virus, there had been little progress in its study. At least, from what the Combat Department had gathered from various sources, there had not been much advancement.The person handed a stack of documents to Ruth and said, "After our preliminary analysis, 60% of this virus's genetic material is from the influenza virus."The influenza virus was highly contag
With the arrival of medical personnel, the pressure on Eric and other holistic physicians noticeably eased. Despite their outstanding medical skills, there was still a shortage in nursing care.Even Winston breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Finally, we can take a breather. I just don't know if we can hold up when the peak arrives!"Dealing with the current situation was exhausting enough. When the real peak arrived, they would become extremely busy.Eric smiled and reassured, "Just focus on protection. The number of infections shouldn't be excessively high. It's just tough for you to fight on the front lines at such an age. It really makes me feel ashamed."Having been infected, he understood its dangers. The risk of infection was much higher for elderly people like Winston than for younger individuals. Nevertheless, they were tirelessly saving lives.Since entering Dortmund City, Winston and a few other elderly holistic physicians had treated many people without charging
The phone Eric used could last a week without charging."I'm sorry, but I didn't take any photos. I was just sending a message to my mother," Eric remarked."Sending a message?" someone asked. "With your looks, your mother can't be that great! Did you send our pictures to show your mom and make her think you found a beautiful girlfriend?""Take a good look at yourself! With such an ugly face, can you even find a wife? Which woman would want to sleep with you without having nightmares?"Eric was infuriated. Criticizing him was one thing, but targeting his mother was unacceptable. However, these young people weren't worth arguing with. He wanted to leave but was stopped by them.Eric definitely would not show his phone to them. After all, a phone was a personal item, and there was no reason to let others casually inspect it.However, the group persisted and pointed their phone cameras at Eric."Everyone, take a look! This guy is a pervert! He denies taking pictures and refuses to
"Since he didn't take pictures of us, why did he refuse to show us his phone?" argued one of the women. "No woman in this world would use their own chastity to tarnish a man's reputation. He refused to let us check his phone because he's afraid of us seeing those pictures on his phone!""Yes! We may be a disadvantaged group, but that doesn't mean we should be bullied like this!" another woman commented, showing determination.Ruth couldn't help but chuckle at their passionate defense. "Alright, since you've reported it to the police, let the police handle it!"Soon, the police arrived. As an official authority, checking Eric's phone posed no problem. However, when they examined the contents of Eric's album, the police officers were taken aback.Eric calmly handed over his identification and said, "It's for work. Sometimes, I need to capture images for documentation purposes."The police officers saluted Eric before approaching the young women. "We've checked his phone, and there a
The following day witnessed a sizable shipment of supplies arriving from King City. Interestingly, the initial batch of provisions from Salt City had already been depleted. Apart from the consumption at the stadium, nearby residents also flocked to collect free supplies.Upon reaching the stadium, the distribution of these vital resources commenced. With the exception of the stadium itself, all distribution tasks were assigned to Roland's team. They had been efficiently securing supplies since the incident involving intercepted shipments from Salt City.The irony of the situation was apparent. Originally, this responsibility should have fallen on officials dispatched by Dortmund City's local government.However, Ruth's trust in the local government-appointed individuals had waned, prompting them to delegate the task to Roland and his team.The distribution process unfolded in an organized fashion, yet unexpected challenges emerged. Initially, Ruth had meticulously planned distrib
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
