Surviving a Great Disaster!

The opportunity has come!

Wu Jie had always wanted to get in touch with the Sakuragi Hana virus and conduct in-depth research.

If he could get a hold of the cure, that would be even better, as he could let the system help analyze whether it was truly effective and wouldn’t relapse.

However…

Because the guards were so strict, he had been unable to succeed.

Now things had changed, Xu Wei had gone to Yincheng for fun, but it seemed like he might have caught the virus.

With him as a living person there, was it not simple to get the virus?

On the other end of the phone, Xu Wei was getting irritated.

“What the hell are you on about?

Am I really infected now or not?”

Wu Jie chuckled in surprise and said, “You’re asking me?

Who am I supposed to ask?

I’m two or three thousand kilometers away, how would I know what your situation is!”

Xu Wei asked, “So should I video call you instead?

But I just feel feverish and a bit dizzy!”

Wu Jie laughed, “What are you afraid of?

Even if you’re really infected, there’s a cure, but you’ll just have to pay for the treatment, are you short on money or something?”

Xu Wei complained, “That’s easy for you to say, but I just want to go back home!

Rocky Continent boasts a population of forty million, bustling and fun, but what’s the reality?

The streets are empty, and those who are out are covered from head to toe!”

Wu Jie didn’t have time to dwell on the chatter and quickly changed the subject, saying:

“Being anxious now is useless, whether or not you are infected, only a hospital blood test will confirm.”

“Even if confirmed, from the onset of the virus to deterioration of your condition, and then to kicking the bucket, that would take at least several days!”

“Just stay calm in your hotel for now, if your cold isn’t better by tomorrow, go to the hospital for isolation and treatment!”

“But before that, go to a pharmacy and buy a syringe, draw a little blood, seal it in a small test tube, then wrap it up with tape…”

Before Wu Jie could finish, Xu Wei curiously asked:

“Hey, Mr.

Wu!

Big Boss Wu!

What are you planning to do with that?

Want me to help you preserve some strange disease sample?”

“You’re quite clever!” Wu Jie said with a laugh, “This isn’t about doing something bad, but doing business!”

Xu Wei teased, “What business?

Tell me about it.

If the profit is high enough, I might take the risk for you!”

Wu Jie laughed, “Do you know the current market situation for the drug that can prevent and treat the Sakuragi Hana virus?”

Xu Wei snorted coldly, “I just want to go back home today.

The news didn’t say, could the cure really be more expensive than gold?”

“Gold can’t compare to it,” Wu Jie chuckled, “Over in Yincheng, each dose of the cure is two million Yen, in the Star Federation it’s twenty thousand Gold Coins, and in Shizhoun Continent it’s the most expensive, selling for thirty thousand.”

“What the hell!!”

Xu Wei exclaimed, “That’s no cure, damn it!

Is it some kind of miracle pill that can bring people back to life?”

Wu Jie chuckled, “You know that under Tanglong Industrial Group, there’s a subsidiary called Tang’s Pharmaceuticals, right?”

Xu Wei laughed, “Your group is a star enterprise in Tianyuan, a major taxpayer, how could I not know?

So your idea is, you want me to get you a sample of the strange disease, then you’ll develop a cure?”

“If I were you, just a sample of the strange disease isn’t enough, I’d better head to the hospital earlier, try to get you some of the cure to copy!

Imitation research is the way to hit the market faster!”

“Business, after all, is about seizing opportunities, getting to market one day earlier means making money one day earlier!”

Wu Jie fell silent.

Xu Wei’s capacity to make assumptions was strong indeed, a classic case of ‘thinking outside the box’!

“Enough of that, if your condition gets worse tomorrow morning, first keep a sample of that strange disease for me!

As for the cure, even if you could get your hands on it, there’s no guarantee you could bring it back to our country!

As for the reward, I’ll definitely make it worth your while!”

At those words, Xu Wei burst into laughter, “Who would’ve thought my trip to Yincheng would stumble upon a business opportunity by accident!

Not bad, not bad.

I’m going for a walk right now, hoping even if it’s just a little cold, it turns into a real infection!”

Wu Jie was about to offer some advice, but Xu Wei had already hung up.

What does a carefree attitude look like?

This is it!

To someone like Xu Wei, things like a damn virus or a biological crisis were just business opportunities!

Of course.

He must have come to think this way after seeing the news, witnessing actions taken by various countries.

The news kept saying the public shouldn’t panic, with the cure available, nobody would die from the disease.

With the prices of the cures revealed by Wu Jie, how could Xu Wei not be tempted?

Think about it.

Making tens of thousands per dose, selling ten thousand doses would be a business deal worth a few hundred million in profit, almost more frightening than robbery.

Trying to get rich sometimes leads to death, and hunger can drive a creature to its end!

Xu Wei, this fat guy, might just become the second ‘madman’ in the world who actually wanted to catch the virus.

The first one, of course, was Wu Jie!

If he could infect himself with the Sakuragi Hana virus, would he need Xu Wei’s help at all?

…

Having returned to the joint command center, the meeting had already dispersed.

Zheng sat in the swivel chair, his face the picture of resignation.

Upon seeing Wu Jie, he immediately waved him over, forcing a bitter smile.

“Look at you with that aggrieved expression—if you’re constipated, go squat in the restroom, don’t act like someone owes you millions.”

Zheng chuckled sheepishly, “I wish I did owe someone millions, in case the cure doesn’t work and humanity is doomed, then I wouldn’t need to pay back my debts, right?”

Wu Jie replied with a laugh, “From what you’re saying, has Elder Tan decided to follow suit with other countries?”

Zheng appeared a bit helpless.

“We’ve got no other choice, right?

Can’t just stand by and watch patients die.

Whether it’s the cure or the implementation of it, we need strict management and careful use, and we’ll be following up in the long term to see if there are any adverse reactions.”

“Also, all of the top biologists, pathologists, and infectious disease experts in the country will be assembled within a week to join others from around the world for a concentrated effort!”

“In five months, we hope to use data from Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate to fully research the Sakuragi Hana virus and develop a real cure that can completely prevent and fully treat it!”

“Let’s hope the scientists succeed, and that the current cure won’t have any issues in the future, that it’s all just a false alarm!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie just smiled.

Without access to the virus cure and without the system’s help for analysis and testing, nothing can be said for certain.

Wu Jie wasn’t accustomed to making empty boasts.

Zheng’s ‘hope’ was, in fact, also what Wu Jie wished for—a mere false alarm.

Otherwise, if humanity were to be annihilated and the world ended, it would indeed be a tragedy.

The conservative actions taken by various countries are also compelled by necessity, and since they could buy five months, that should be enough.

Once Xu Wei returned to the country with the samples of the strange disease, with the system’s help, he would definitely be able to produce a real cure and resolve the crisis.

Whew!

He let out a long sigh, Wu Jie said with relief:

“Now that there’s nothing to worry about, it’s time for me to go home and get some good sleep!”

“Sure!

I’ll arrange a car to take you!” Zheng said, picking up the landline to arrange for a private car.

Wu Jie smiled without saying anything.

Do they really treat me like a national treasure?

Why does someone always have to follow me wherever I go?

Arguing was useless; a simple ‘it’s for your own good’ would put an end to any dispute, so it was better not to say anything.

After walking around the cyber security department, with the enhanced version of the intelligent prohibited content review system, there wasn’t much to be busy with.

He confidently left the security bureau compound; it was already around three in the morning.

On his return to Tianyuan Haoting, Wu Jie took a special look.

The business in the store hadn’t been affected at all.

So, those who should watch the game did so, those who should grill skewers did as well, and the business in the store remained bustling.

After getting out of the car and entering the store, Zhang Hao spotted Wu Jie from afar and immediately jogged over.

“Bro, you really didn’t lie to me, I’ve been taking the medicine these days, and I sneakily went for a blood test yesterday, and sure enough, I didn’t catch AIDS!”

Zhang Hao was extremely joyful, the happiness of having narrowly escaped disaster was evident on his face.

Wu Jie smiled lightly: “As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster are destined for good fortune!

But if you don’t learn your lesson and keep messing around, even deities won’t be able to help you!”

“Of course not!

How could I possibly mess up again?” Zhang Hao laughed: “Are you hungry?

Should I make you some late-night snacks?”

“Make something light, I’ll take it to go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a goal was scored!

“Oh man, what’s going on with the Sweet Team?

They can’t even beat Belgium, another freaking upset!!”

Zhang Hao couldn’t help but lament, and then he went to the kitchen to get busy.

Wu Jie glanced at the hall.

The atmosphere was explosive!

This World Cup was truly full of upsets; the fans (gamblers) who had learned their lesson were making a good amount of money!

Across the sea in Yincheng, the virus epidemic had already turned the bustling Rocky Continent into a desolate ghost town.

But domestically, there was not the slightest impact.

The fans in front of him were truly cheering in victory, living in ecstatic oblivion!

Taking his late-night snack home, Wu Jie ate his fill without disturbing his family and then crashed into the guest room for sleep.

He had hardly had any decent rest for over ten days.

This sleep was indeed so profound that it was as if the world went dark, with neither sun nor moonlight.

Half-asleep, he heard some noise outside.

When he opened his eyes and pulled out his phone to take a look…

Damn it!

It was already the morning of July 10th; the system had let him sleep for two days to help him recover better.

Starving, he got out of bed and saw his parents cleaning the living room.

The buzzing noise he had heard was indeed the sound of the vacuum cleaner.

“Did you enjoy your sleep?”

Wu Jianguo chuckled and turned to shout toward the kitchen, “Jie is up, get the food ready quick!”

“Mom, make some extra!”

Wu Jie called out and went straight to the main bedroom.

After a hot bath, he felt much more comfortable.

Returning to the dining room, several delicate dishes were laid out on the table.

“Look at how skinny you have gotten these days; hurry and have some nourishing soup!”

Saying this, Wu Jianguo placed a clay pot in front of Wu Jie.

The aroma of herbal medicine wafted through the air, and a glance inside the pot revealed plenty of pigeon meat and medicinal herbs.

Ravenous, Wu Jie started to eat immediately.

After seeing their son full and satisfied, Liao Lan spoke:

“Your dad and I are planning to go back to our hometown.

The business at the store is being taken care of by Zhang Yong and his family, so we don’t need to worry about it!”

Wu Jianguo added, “With this virus scare recently, it’s about time for the harvest back home.

We’re going to head back and will return after a while!”

Wu Jie nodded in agreement: “Going back home is a good idea, but you shouldn’t do all the farm work yourself at your age.

Hire someone if needed!

And if you feel unwell, call me right away!”

Wu Jianguo laughed: “I know that, but did Joy and Zhang Hao break up?

She hasn’t been to the store these days, and Zhang Hao has been down for several days.

It was only after he went out yesterday and came back that he seemed to finally cheer up a bit.”

Wu Jie secretly laughed to himself.

Them breaking up?

How could Zhang Hao be upset over a breakup?

It was clear that he was just unable to cheer up because he was taking AIDS prevention medication and was worried and scared.

“Young people and their relationships, breaking up and making up is too common!

I’d better call Old Mr.

Tang and ask if he wants to go to the countryside to escape the summer heat!”

“That’s a great idea!

Old Mr.

Tang loves the countryside; it’s more lively with more people around,” Wu Jianguo happily said.

At noon.

Wu Jie drove his parents to Old Mr.

Tang’s courtyard, and after they had lunch together, they proceeded to the airport.

But to his surprise, he discovered that international flights in and out of Tianyuan had already resumed.

He turned on the mobile data on his phone and discovered that Xu Wei had sent a message.

“The stuff you wanted, I brought it with me; I’ll arrive in Tianyuan at two in the afternoon!”
