Inescapable Doom!

Joint Command Center.

The atmosphere was oppressive, suffocating.

One country after another had begun to reluctantly lift the ban on usage.

The reason was simple.

Instead of watching the epidemic break out, wreaking havoc across the globe, and leading humanity to a rapid extinction,

it was better to use the miracle drug, allowing humanity to first overcome this life-or-death crisis.

At least five months were bought for scientists to closely study the Sakuragi Hana virus, to develop a completely curative miracle drug, an effective treatment for the virus, and to win precious time.

Besides,

in order to minimize the risk as much as possible, many countries, represented by Yincheng, were not openly supplying it.

For those who had already been diagnosed with the infection, they implemented isolation treatment and provided the miracle drug.

For those with cold and fever, suspected infection symptoms, they first isolated and observed them, and then used the drug after a confirmed diagnosis.

And for those normal people without any issues…

The Sakuragi Hana virus has a lifespan of seven days; if you make it through these seven days, the probability of being infected again is very low.

As for the miracle drug…

Although a large reserve of the miracle drug existed, it was not available for just anyone who wanted it.

In the case of Yincheng, for example, the official price for each dose of the miracle drug was two million yen, equivalent to a year’s income for an ordinary white-collar worker.

Over at the Star Federation, each dose of the miracle drug was priced at twenty thousand Gold Coins.

Shzhou Continent was even more brutal, charging thirty thousand euros outright.

Not only was it expensive, but one also had to sign a disclaimer agreement.

In the event that the Sakuragi Hana virus mutated in the future, causing the miracle drug to be ineffective and resulting in casualties, there would be no responsibility.

The high pricing and strict control over the supply of the miracle drug were due to not wanting the population—healthy, uninfected, yet scared of death—to cause chaos.

If the vast majority of the population avoided the epidemic without using or taking the miracle drug,

wouldn’t that mean that humanity had also escaped the brink of extinction?

Therefore,

the policies of countries regarding the epidemic were very straightforward.

Those who were infected must be saved; we couldn’t let thousands upon thousands die.

And for those uninfected, just stay the hell out of the way and honestly hide at home for a few days.

Moreover, in terms of messaging, the destructive power of the Sakuragi Hana virus was also downplayed.

Letting people believe that even if infected, they wouldn’t die because of the miracle drug, and there was no need for excessive panic.

…

The high-level joint meeting became a debate arena.

No one opposed using the drug, after all, it was unthinkable to let the infected die without aid.

Everyone discussed the necessity of being even more careful and cautious.

Wu Jie initially listened very seriously, but as time went on, he just couldn’t take it anymore.

In these eleven days, the total sleep he had probably did not add up to even one day.

Constantly busy and on the move, constantly thinking about countermeasures, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

Zheng and the others were alright; they were used to this kind of high-intensity work with a two-shift team system.

But Wu Jie…

Even with the system’s help, he just couldn’t hold up anymore.

Quietly leaving his seat, he went to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette.

In the courtyard, although there was no mobile phone signal, wireless WiFi was still available.

It’s just that all the data sent and received was monitored to prevent intelligence leaks.

Once connected to the network, Wu Jie quickly received a number of messaging notifications.

Tang Xin sent the most.

“Jie, I saw the news, my God, so there really is an epidemic outbreak!”

“What kind of mysterious unit do you work for?

How did you know the news so early?”

“I’ve done everything you told me to, stayed in the old master’s courtyard these days, watching Tang Kun that oaf dig the ground and plant vegetables!”

…

There were too many messages; Wu Jie, feeling lazy to read them all, simply replied to her.

“Don’t get the miracle drug, don’t use the miracle drug, don’t interact with strangers!”

He then opened Tang Xiao’s message.

“This viral storm is fierce; I’ve received intel that the use of the miracle drug by various countries is being handled with great caution!”

“It seems that the situation is more serious than it appears.

I’ve already directed the group to implement emergency plans, ready to suspend work and take holidays at any moment!”

“Also, don’t worry about home.

I know how to prevent and treat the epidemic.”

After pondering for a moment, Wu Jie sent the ‘three don’ts’ message to Tang Xiao as well.

Additionally, he particularly cautioned.

“With me around, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Do whatever you need to do; this crisis will be resolved sooner or later!”

After that, Wu Jie replied to his parents, Zhang Hao, and others consecutively.

In short.

Even Mutoh Yoshio didn’t trust the special medicine, so Wu Jie was even less likely to believe in it.

System energy points were precious, and the price of Detox Pills wasn’t cheap either.

But at a critical moment, what was the harm in saving family and friends?

Wu Jie had also thought about exchanging a large number of Detox Pills from the system’s store to administer to domestic patients.

But the problem was…

Even if Wu Jie didn’t care how many energy points it would cost, let’s talk about the patients—would they believe it?

Wu Jie is telling them to take Detox Pills?

Are they effective?

Are there any side effects?

If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?

Even if they were cured, like with the special medicine, they would be questioned about the possibility of relapse in the future.

And how would Wu Jie explain the origin of the Detox Pills?

How could he gain the trust of numerous authoritative medical experts and patients’ families?

In short, it was too much hassle!

After much thought, it seemed better to just wait and see what would happen.

After all, the special medicine was guaranteed to work for five months.

If the virus really mutated and another outbreak occurred, endangering human safety, it wouldn’t be too late to think of a solution then.

Once he had made up his mind, Wu Jie stopped pondering it further.

Just as he was about to leave the restroom, suddenly, a long-lost contact friend sent a message.

Without a note, he had no idea who the other party was.

A classmate?

A colleague?

Or a roommate from a shared apartment?

The owner of the breakfast shop?

Not really wanting to go back to continue the meeting, Wu Jie clicked on the message.

“Are you there?

Help me like a post in my circle of friends!”

Damn it!

In the middle of the night, asking for likes!

Don’t they know that the Sakuragi Hana virus outbreak has plunged the whole world into a biochemical crisis?

They really have a big heart!

Wu Jie smirked and went ahead to like the post.

But it wasn’t long before another message and a link arrived.

“Are you there?

Help me slash a price!”

Wu Jie instantly felt puzzled; hell, was this a mass message?

Still, with patience, he went to help slash prices.

It was for a women’s fitness outfit that could be cheaper after the price reduction.

He thought it would be over after that, but quickly, she sent another message.

“Are you there?

Cast a vote for my child!

She’s participating in the kindergarten’s good kid competition.

Please vote for number 20.”

Wu Jie completely lost his temper.

It was obviously a mass message, and in the middle of the night, couldn’t they give it a rest?

I’m busy considering how to save all humanity, and here you are, asking for likes, price slashes, and votes.

Having been preoccupied for many days, Wu Jie, who hadn’t scammed anyone for a long time, lost his temper.

He opened the link and resolutely cast his vote for number 16.

He sent the screenshot over, and the other party immediately replied with a string of angry emojis.

“Bastard!

Are you blind?

It was supposed to be for number 20, not 16!!!”

Wu Jie snorted with a chuckle and replied promptly,

“I’m not blind!

Clearly, number 16 is better-looking than your child and has more votes!

And in the middle of the night, isn’t your husband at home?

Do you need me to come over and help?”

After sending the message, Wu Jie didn’t wait for a reply and decisively blocked the contact.

He checked the system energy point records, and sure enough, he had been resented, but the energy points were too few, clearly just an inconsequential person.

Time for a smoke break.

Sometimes, squatting in the restroom is the most relaxing and satisfying thing there is.

But before long, there was a voice call on the phone, from his demolition site friend Black Pupil King Xu Wei.

“What’s the meaning of calling me in the middle of the night?”

“It’s an emergency, brother!” Xu Wei said in a rush: “I’m freaking stuck in Yincheng; I was supposed to fly back home today, but the planes have been grounded!”

Wu Jie smirked awkwardly, “International flights resuming seems a long way off, so you might as well stay in Yincheng and continue to bring glory to our country.

But with the virus rampant over there, be careful and don’t get infected!”

“Damn it!”

Xu Wei complained bitterly, “Whenever there was something big overseas before, why aren’t they evacuating this time?”

“Evacuate my ass!

If you all get infected with the Sakuragi Hana virus and bring it back home, wouldn’t that infect even more people?” Wu Jie consoled.

“But don’t be too anxious; this thing will pass soon.

Just stay calm and spend a few more days in Yincheng!”

Xu Wei sighed deeply.

“I can’t stay put!

Everything is closed off, just like a ghost town.

Can’t even find a girl out of fear of unique food!

“And I came abroad this time to play because I had spent a lot of effort chasing a goddess and screwed it up recently!”

“Right, I heard that the initial symptoms of the virus infection are like a cold, right?”

Wu Jie explained, “More accurately, it’s a feeling of intense heat throughout the body, because the white blood cells in the immune system try to eliminate the virus, …”

“Wait a minute!” Xu Wei exclaimed in shock, “Bro, I…

I think you might have just described my situation!

I’ve been feeling really hot and kind of groggy; I thought it was just a minor cold!”

“Damn!!”

With a start, Wu Jie had a bold idea…
