Headed by world-renowned immunologists such as Qiu Xiang and Judson, everyone is waiting for the medication in the isolation room.

Now that the Ridman virus epidemic is serious and the situation is special, the WHO and CDCs of various countries have issued notices. The medical team studying Ridman's special medicines can consult the consent of the families of sober patients and directly adopt the process for the unconscious patients. The tested non-toxic and slightly toxic drugs.

This notification is very important. It eliminates the process of testing new drugs on animals and can greatly shorten the drug development cycle.

Now all their medicines are directly administered to unconscious patients.If they are not treated, they will definitely die. Let them be treated with new drugs and there is a chance of recovery.

This is the 32nd attempt. All members are praying, hoping to pass.They were divided into eight groups and conducted drug exploration and research from nine different directions. Until now, there is still not much progress.

The Ridman virus is too domineering.

During the onset, apart from mental hallucinations, the patient's other functions are all much stronger than healthy people.After half a month, the patient will experience internal bleeding and eventually die.

Except for the improved HX3 medicine, no other method has been found yet.

The improved HX3 medicine continues to be studied in depth, and they are also working on it. One month later, they can no longer suppress the virus.

After seeing the doctor in the isolation room injecting the new medicine into the patient, all the researchers' hearts were raised.Ten minutes later, everyone was disappointed when they saw the patients who were still struggling in fear and talking nonsense on the bed in the isolation room.

"Failed again."

Another failure made all medical scientists feel sad.The eyes of a few old medical scientists were already flushed, and they felt their powerlessness in the face of such a disaster.

"According to WHO's incomplete statistics, the number of direct and indirect deaths caused by the'Reaper virus' has exceeded 50,000, the number of infections and confirmed cases has exceeded 90,000, and the number of people quarantined globally is close to 2.5 million. In the next month, if Without special medicine, the death toll is expected to exceed 100,000. This is the largest man-made biological disaster in human history."

"Los Angeles reported that yesterday, a medical worker in Los Angeles accidentally contracted the'Reaper Virus' while handling a corpse, and committed suicide by jumping from a building in the quarantine area due to excessive pressure."

"Reuters reported that a patient broke away from a fixed rope in a centralized quarantine area in France, killed a medical worker and escaped from the quarantine room, and released 60 people infected with the virus, causing riots in the quarantine area and attempting to escape the quarantine area.

The riots caused the death of 3 medical staff, 7 medical staff and 1 chemical protection soldier were infected with the Reaper virus, and 9 infected people died.The French military chemical defense forces have arrested all patients, and no infected have fled the quarantine area."

For two months, news from all the hardest-hit areas in the world has made the heart of the international community weigh a big weight. You must be cautious when you go out to do any activities, for fear of being contaminated with the'Reaper Virus', and the global economic loss is immeasurable. .

Capital Tangshan Hospital.

Chen Mo and Wu Bing, as well as a group of team members wearing protective clothing, are walking quickly to the isolation room in the test area.

The expressions on everyone's faces are different, either anxious or expectant, only the expressions of Chen Mo and Wu Bing are relatively calm.They are conducting research, and as a result, they were notified that the patients they received the trial vaccine had an abnormal reaction today.

With the support of Chen Mo's complete technical information and the help of team members, the development of vaccines is developing in the direction that Chen Mo expected, and the accuracy is very fast.

Wu Bing's team successfully found the protective antigen gene of the virus, and Chen Mo led the team to find a suitable mRNA as a vaccine system platform.

The drug has undergone several trials, all of which ended in failure. The vaccine system platform has been re-improved several times. This is the 8th trial of their customized vaccine.

A response is a good thing.

At this time, the most frightening thing is that the drug does not respond.

So after receiving the news, everyone gave up their research and rushed over to the test area.

"pain."

"it hurts."

"Doctor, I feel so painful and uncomfortable."

When Chen Mo and Wu Bing entered the isolation room, they heard the patient's painful voice.The voice is not loud, but to the two of them, it is like a natural sound.

When Ridman's virus started, the patient was like a madman and would never have such a clear voice.

This shows that their vaccine has begun to have a little effect.

"Sir, why are you uncomfortable?" Wu Bing leaned down and asked.

"The body hurts, and the brain hurts." The patient seemed to hear Wu Bing's question and began to answer, as if talking in a dream, but with a cry in his voice, he was obviously suffering from great pain.

This answer made all the team members ecstatic.

There was an answer, indicating that the patient's consciousness has been awake, and the vaccine may have worked.

Wu Bing asked a few more questions, but apart from pain, there were no accurate answers to other questions, like a drunk who was half-dreaming and half-awake.

"Examination of the whole body, you will have a blood test for him."

Chen Mo motioned to the team members who followed to start blood testing on the patient on the fixed bed.The other two team members untied the patient's gowns, and the bruising of the skin immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This bruise spreads all over the skin of the body.

This is not a symptom of the Reedman virus. They have been dealing with the virus for several months, which is certain.

"Like allergies and poisoning." Wu Bing said.

Chen Mo nodded and agreed with Wu Bing's statement: "In addition to the injection tube vaccine, has the patient used any other drugs?"

"No, I strictly check the glucose injected by the patient. No other medical staff has ever touched the patient." The member in charge of the guard definitely shook his head.

"Maybe it's related to the vaccine. Let's test the patient's blood first." Wu Bing said.

Twenty minutes later, without any results, Chen Mo and Wu Bing came out of the isolation room.The two had just come out, and Shi Hongtu and others who were outside the isolation room could not wait to surround themselves.

When they heard that the patient in Chen Mo had an abnormal reaction, they immediately put down their research and come over.It's just that Chen Mo and Wu Bing are in the isolation room. They are not easy to get in, and they are all waiting outside.

"How is your research progressing?"

Shi Hongtu and several other immunology experts looked expectantly under the protective glasses.

Chen Mo and Wu Bing's group, because of the research on customized vaccines, he has little hope.But after several times, the speed of this group's progress was beyond his imagination.

Now the patient has responded, and other groups, after the injection of the new test drug, either fell silent or the patient died directly, with little progress, so they also hope that Chen Mo can perform miracles.

"The vaccine was injected three days ago. Depending on the situation, it should have played a little role. The patient is no longer talking nonsense as before." Wu Bing said.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Hongtu and several other immunologists were overjoyed.

The improvement of the patient's mental state indicates that the research is progressing. This is definitely the news they want to hear most now.

"However, the patient's body is abnormal and he is not sure whether it is allergies or poisoning. You need to look at the blood test results." Wu Bing added.

"Okay, okay, let's wait for the blood test results." Shi Hongtu said with some surprise.

Chen Mo and Wu Bing said goodbye to Shi Hongtu and entered the laboratory.

The group leaders of the other groups learned that Chen Mo's group had made progress, and had no thought of research, came over and waited with a few people.The waiting time is always very long, more than two hours, which makes several people feel that several months have passed.

When several people were about to sit still, Wu Bing and Chen Mo came out of the laboratory.

Shi Hongtu's three steps turned into two, and he immediately walked up.

"The result came out?"

"Let's talk about it." Wu Bing looked at Chen Mo, his voice could not hear the joys and sorrows.

"The virus antibodies are detected in the patient's blood. These antibodies have an effect on the virus and can eliminate the virus."

Chen Mo's words seemed like a fairy song of Tianyin, which made everyone on the court ecstatic.Shi Hongtu was so excited that the wrinkles on his old face were trembling, and he almost didn't cry.

"But the vaccine did not succeed."

This sentence made everyone's joy disappear, and they looked at Chen Mo, waiting for his explanation.

"We detected two toxic proteins in the patient's blood. It should be a potential toxic protein gene in the vaccine platform system mRNA. If this problem is not solved, the toxic protein will accumulate in the patient's body until a certain concentration, and the patient will die. "

"Then next?" Shi Hongtu asked.

"Next, we need to find these two toxic protein genes in the mRNA of the vaccine system platform, and think of ways to replace these two toxic protein genes, and remove the toxicity of the vaccine before the vaccine can be considered successful."

"Okay, I will apply to the above immediately, and call more genetic engineering experts to help you find the toxin gene." Shi Hongtu spoke without hesitation, his voice extremely excited.

As long as they find these two toxic proteins and successfully detoxify the vaccine, they will be able to completely end this global bioterrorism.

They have seen the dawn of victory.
