Eric walked away after finishing his speech—he couldn't afford to dwell on these matters.The guards kept the female students from catching up, escorting them forcefully out of the stadium.After eight hours of treatment, Eric finally had a rare moment to relax, though he remained concerned about the upcoming virus outbreak's peak. In the last few days, the number of severe patients in the stadium had noticeably increased, reaching a capacity of 3,000 infected individuals.Frowning, Sylvia said, "It's a bit strange, Eric. Look, among all of us, Hol. Clarke hasn't been infected, and those highly skilled holistic physicians are also mostly unaffected."On the other hand, a few people from Roland's side have been infected, but none of the grandmasters from the Combat Department have any issues. Roland is also a martial artist, and he's not affected either!"During their time at the stadium, Sylvia had been busy collecting and comparing data on the infected with the uninfected. She lo
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 swiftly finishing his meal, Roland conveyed, "Valerie just called. Brook and the others were discharged from the hospital this morning. She and Keith have been frequenting the hospital, but it seems the number of patients has surged in the last two or three days."Eric and Sylvia exchanged worried frowns. All their friends and family resided in Salt City.Roland shared the same predicament. He had gone to great lengths to escort Valerie out of Dortmund City to shield her from infection. However, the virus outpaced their expectations. If one person in a city was infected, a widespread outbreak would be inevitable within ten days or half a month.Eric's heightened concern stemmed from Melinda's recent recovery, a little over a year ago. If she contracted the virus in Salt City, it could lead to complications."Go ahead and eat. I'll make a call," Sylvia said.This information had to be credible—something significant was unfolding. After all, Dortmund City and Salt City were ap
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
Sylvia nodded in agreement. As they conversed, the group reached the area where the children lived. The living conditions here were relatively good. While there were no individual rooms, having four children share one room didn't make it too crowded. The rooms were decorated like those of ordinary family homes, and the girls' room even had fluffy toys.Several children lay on the beds in deep sleep. Eric checked their condition one by one and said, "Vee, make a call to Hol. Clarke. Ask him to prepare the medicine we used in Dortmund City and send them over.""Okay!" Sylvia hurriedly went to contact Winston while Eric began the treatment.In fact, treating children was a bit more complicated than treating adults. Their immunity wasn't as strong, and their vitality wasn't as vigorous as that of adults. On the positive side, a healthy child had much stronger recovery abilities than an adult.Eric didn't use the methods for treating adults. After disinfecting his hands, he adopted effe
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
The meeting lasted until after 6:00 p.m.Seeing Andy about to leave, Sylvia stopped him. "Andy.""What's up, Sylvia?"She approached Andy and said, "You and Elly should pay close attention to your health these days, especially with Cody and Max. If there's any issue, make sure to call Eric immediately."And I know Elly likes to buy fresh groceries every day. If you see any supermarkets open on the way back, buy some more things to stock up.""Okay." Andy nodded. "You and Eric should also be careful. I hope everyone from Innova Group stays safe."Sylvia also nodded. "Be sure to pay attention to everyone's condition and, if necessary, give us a call. Let's keep in touch!"She was most worried about the employees of the Innova Group. They had thousands of employees, and most of them were likely to get infected.After leaving the Innova Group, Sylvia went to find Eric at the stadium.The number of infected people was increasing, reaching several hundreds.After simply eating some
Eric meticulously adhered the cups one by one to Jasmine's back. Throughout the process, he remained silent.To Eric, Jasmine was just an ordinary patient. And if there was any relationship, it was that she had borrowed 10,000 dollars from him and Sylvia. Eric had never thought about having Jasmine pay back the money.The treatment was quickly coming to an end, and Eric was about to remove the cups when suddenly, a young man burst in.For some reason, he grabbed Eric's collar. "What are you doing?!"His hand hadn't reached Eric, and the latter dodged.With Eric's current agility, ordinary people couldn't even get close to him.Eric frowned, about to ask a question, but the man barked, "What have you done to my girlfriend? I've known for a long time that you holistic physicians are not decent!"Eric finally understood. This man, known as Earl Dudley, was Jasmine's boyfriend. Seeing Earl swinging his fists, Eric raised his hand and easily blocked his attack."Earl!" Jasmine quick
