Chapter 568: Chapter 566 You Guys Are Really Too Much_1

"This... You didn’t mention it, and I didn’t even think about it, but there indeed was a kind of fish that’s particularly special, a long and slender type called the golden knife fish. Old Zhao from my family even said this fish was extremely delicious."

The golden knife fish?

Xia Ningxing, although not very clear on what exactly this fish was, knew without a doubt that the problem stemmed from this kind of fish.

"So, the fleet caught a large amount of this fish and then sold them in the market?"

"Such a delicious fish, of course, there was, and everyone was crazy about buying it."

"They even used big trucks to take it to other places for sale!"

Xia Ningxing: "..." Great, this is a complete mess now.

After discovering that this particular fish was exceptionally tasty, it didn’t take many days before it swiftly entered markets everywhere.

Because in the current times there is a lack of market management and food safety, plus everyone having once come from a time of famine, nobody really considered the issue of food safety.

Seeing how delicious the fish was, people naturally bought them in large quantities.

"This is terrible," Uncle Lu said, slapping his thigh in distress.

Following this, who knew how many people would suffer!

Uncle Lu could only place all his hopes on her: "Ningxing, do you have any way to detoxify now?"

"I don’t, not at the moment," Xia Ningxing shook her head under his expectant gaze.

"So it really was food poisoning?" The family members who’d caused trouble earlier, upon seeing the truth revealed, felt incredibly embarrassed.

At that moment, one of the family members couldn’t help but suggest, "Then, can’t stomach washing work?"

"No, it’s a neurotoxin; washing the stomach is absolutely useless," Xia Ningxing regretfully waved her hand.

If it were really that simple, they would have already done it.

"Then... then what are we supposed to do?" The family members were extremely desperate. They were the pillars of their homes, and if something bad happened to them, how were their families supposed to carry on living?

Xia Ningxing looked at the people with pity and then immediately suggested to Uncle Lu, "Uncle, this matter will only get worse, and the number of food poisoning cases will increase. We should report it to the health department right away to get prepared."

As the saying goes, "Three cobblers make a Zhuge Liang," the more people there are, the greater the strength. Perhaps bringing together more medical experts would yield a solution.

"I’m on my way," Uncle Lu said, not daring to delay another second and hastily left.

As for the current patients, they could only be kept alive with all sorts of apparatus in the meantime.

"This isn’t going to cost a lot of money, is it?" The family member from bed number 5, seeing the setup, couldn’t help but gasp and started to secretly contemplate making a run for it.

"Big brother, we better leave quickly."

"Yes, after all, he’s just a stinking old man. If he dies, he dies, what’s there to save."

"We definitely don’t have that much money."

This selfish attitude was a far cry from their previous facade of devoted descendants.

Xia Ningxing didn’t bother with them upon seeing this.

Because the incident was bound to cause a huge commotion, with countless people across the nation potentially suffering from food poisoning. When the time came, the Star Shine authorities would surely intervene, so there was no need to worry about the family members dodging medical bills.

As expected, there were patients suffering from food poisoning every day throughout the country.

Although Star Shine had already issued orders to ban the sale and consumption of this fish, it was still a bit too late.

Xia Ningxing was extremely anxious. Once she got home that day, she couldn’t wait to ask, "Lu, did you encounter this kind of epidemic before your rebirth?"

Xia Ningxing asked as she informed him about the symptoms manifested by the food poisoning this time.

There was no mention of food poisoning in the original work, possibly because the author omitted it due to the limitations of the novel. Therefore, Xia Ningxing wanted to try her luck to see if Lu Tingli, a native, might know something.

(Native: An original character of a certain world, not someone who has gone through transmigration or rebirth)

If he knew, maybe he would also know the exact ingredients of the Detoxification Needle.

After all, the boss was also involved in the pharmaceutical business.

Lu Tingli’s brows firmed, definitively denying, "No, I remember that Star Shine never had such an incident."

Xia Ningxing sighed.

The shortcut was, as expected, unworkable.

However, Ningxing wasn’t too disappointed. After all, she was just trying her luck in the beginning. Since she wasn’t lucky this time, she needed to gather her spirits and not be defeated just yet.

Now they could only rely on their own research.

As more and more people were suffering from food poisoning, Star Shine officially hastened the research work for the Detoxification Needle.

In order to give the public hope, a group of reporters and photographers also went to hospitals and the Health Organization Building to shoot footage, which was then broadcasted on all channels.

Inside the hospital, doctors steadfastly held their positions, taking diligent care of patients.

Facing the camera, not a hint of fear was on the faces of doctors and nurses, only the righteousness of their spirit, "We will fight this major food poisoning outbreak to the end!"

They declared in unison, unwavering!

Viewers in front of the TV couldn’t help but tear up. Among these doctors, the oldest were in their sixties or seventies, and the youngest were just over twenty. They had their own families and mouths to feed, but they were willing to risk their personal safety for the greater good.

"Mom!"

"Dad!"

"Grandpa!"

Especially for the relatives of these medical staff, when they saw them, they cried heartbreakingly.

The camera shifted, showing countless guards standing orderly at every corner, maintaining order.

Inside the Health Organization Building, numerous medical experts were gathered, working day and night on the Detoxification Needle, particularly those medical experts striving non-stop in research.

In an instant, Star Shine let all citizens know that they were working hard, that they were in a hurry!

With a unified effort and boundless love.

In a moment, they had built a pillar of spiritual support, and all the citizens rallied their spirits, filled with confidence, looking forward to tomorrow, looking forward to the Detoxification Needle, looking forward to the end of this disaster.

At such a scene, Xia Ningxing could no longer sit idly by.

"Lu, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay at the hospital all the time recently, so I’ll leave the house in your care," Xia Ningxing took a deep breath and announced her decision.

Far from complaining, Lu Tingli embraced her understandingly, "My wife, don’t worry. I will certainly hold down the fort for you."

"Thank you, Lu," said Ningxing, her voice tinged with emotion.

Lu Tingli spoke tenderly, "Fool, there’s no need for thanks between you and me."

"Alright, then I’ll go get my things ready now. To save time, I need to leave for the Health Department tonight," Ningxing said with a choked nod.

"I’ll help you," Tingli said understandingly, gently ruffling her hair with his large hand.

When Ningxing went into the house to start packing, she saw their little one fast asleep, and her gaze immediately softened.
