618: Chapter 607 Preparing the Antidote 618: Chapter 607 Preparing the Antidote When they arrived at the reservoir, the village chief had already sent over so equipnt.
“Everyone split up for the experint, form pairs.
Feel free to pair up as you like,” Tangyu said.
Naturally, Tangyu paired up with Liu Shiyi, and the others also ford pairs.
“The Golden Thread Snake has tallic properties and tends towards the Yin.
It has a Yin poison, and its venom is extraordinarily potent.
A single type of poisonous herb surely won’t achieve this effect.
Use the blood of the Golden Thread Snake as a sample to match the poison,” Tangyu explained.
Deng Jianguo had already had a truckload of live fish delivered early on to test the water.
Twelve people divided into six groups, all diligently working on antidotes.
Fifteen minutes later, Tangyu had concocted sothing, but after using live fish for testing, they died within three minutes.
The fact that the fish didn’t die imdiately showed the dicine had so effect, but it wasn’t quite there yet.
The fish died of poisoning, and there were so abnormalities on their bodies, indicating that the toxicity in the water had killed them.
Tangyu pondered for a mont then started formulating the dicine again.
The second attempt was also a failure.
After each failure, Tangyu would carefully analyze before trying to formulate a new poison antidote.
After three, five, ten tries and finally on the twelfth attempt – losing track of ti – everyone had forgotten their fatigue, hunger, and everything else, fully imrsed in concocting the antidote.
On the twelfth attempt, he finally saw a glimr of hope; the fish was lively and jumping around for six to seven minutes before gradually showing so reactions.
But this result gave Tangyu hope for victory.
On the thirteenth attempt, the fish’s lively period was a bit longer.
On the fourteenth and fifteenth tries, the fish almost lasted a lively fifteen minutes.
On the eighteenth attempt, the fish maintained its vitality for half an hour without any abnormal signs.
Seeing this, both Tangyu and Liu Shiyi exchanged smiles of relief.
Tangyu curled his lips and said, “I think we might have succeeded.”
“Ah, it worked?
If you succeeded, Tangyu, then there’s so hope for too.
How did you manage it?” Yu Zhaoke imdiately turned towards them, with a deeply impacted expression.
Rao Yuanzhi shook his head and said, “This ti the fish lived for twenty minutes.
Give more ti, and I should be able to co up with an antidote.
But since Tangyu has already succeeded, there’s no need for to continue.”
“I think I succeeded too,” Doctor Xiao spoke up.
Everyone also glanced at her briefly, reaffirming that aside from Tangyu, Doctor Xiao had the best dical skills.
As for Divine Needle Rao, he had admitted himself that his dical skills were not as good as Doctor Xiao’s.
“Did you succeed?
Are you sure, Divine Doctor Tang?” The Yang County Magistrate ca over beaming with joy, as did Group Leader Kong.
Tangyu pointed at the fish in the water and said, “This fish has been alive for over half an hour now, and there is still no sign of any abnormalities; I think it should be okay.
But no worries, I will test the water myself to be absolutely sure the dicine is effective.”
“What, Divine Doctor Tang, you testing the water yourself?
This won’t do at all, it’s absolutely out of the question,” the County Magistrate raised his voice in alarm, imdiately trying to stop him.
He could not allow Tangyu to take such a risk; if sothing happened to Tangyu here, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.
“Boss Tang, there’s no need to take such a risk.
Just get an animal for testing.
And I think it should be fine.
If you’re not reassured, why not wait another hour or two to see if the fish is still lively?
In the anti, we could go have so lunch,” Yu Zhaoke suggested.
Liu Shiyi also looked at Tangyu worriedly, her mouth hesitating to speak, swallowing back her words.
“Haha, what’s there to fear?
Even if there’s still so residual poison, it can’t kill us, right?
Boss Tang, let do it.
If I really get poisoned, you can just cure ,” Shi Naixin said.
Yu Zhaoke hurriedly spoke up, “Let do it instead, I’m the weakest in dical skills here.
Testing the dicine should be my role, don’t fight for this.” This statent from him shifted people’s perception.
Initially, he was the one worrying, but now he was the one volunteering to test the dicine; it was quite a change.
“Yu Zhaoke, why are you even competing with for this?
Don’t you leave any chance to show off?
I despise you,” Shi Naixin said.
Yu Zhaoke clucked his tongue and retorted, “We’re brothers, aren’t we?
How could I let you take the risk?
If soone has to suffer, it should be .”
“I won’t be thankful,” Shi Naixin said.
“No need, no need, weren’t they calling Lei Feng?” Yu Zhaoke said.
The two bickered, eliciting laughter from everyone around and lightening the mood for a bit.
Tangyu scooped up so water with a bowl and drank it, then said, “I can’t be bothered with your babble.
It’s not like there’s any danger, so why the fuss?
Whether you drink or I drink, it’s all the sa.
I drink—I’m better at detecting even the slight issues with the water.
You guys might not notice them.
Using animals is definitely out of the question.”
“Haha, Tangyu is really sothing else, so mighty and imposing,” said Yu Zhaoke with a grin.
All eyes turned to Tangyu, and Doctor Xiao and Rao Yuanzhi got ready to spring into action if needed.
A mont later, Yu Zhaoke couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, how do you feel?”
“Flying high, feeling great.
Um—no, that’s not right.
Ah, my stomach hurts.” Tangyu’s expression suddenly changed, and he clutched his stomach, crying out in pain.
At Tangyu’s cry, everyone imdiately tensed up and crowded around him, especially Liu Shiyi who quickly grabbed Tangyu, looking at him worriedly: “What’s wrong, don’t scare .
Doctor Xiao, Rao Divine Needle, co quick and check on Tangyu.”
Doctor Xiao and Rao Yuanzhi, however, did not make any move to help, and although Yu Zhaoke and Ye Mai initially wanted to check on Tangyu, they were stopped by a look from Rao Yuanzhi.
Soon, Liu Shiyi also sensed that sothing was off.
She looked around at the others who had gone back to acting normal, and none of them ca forward to check on Tangyu.
Especially Rao Yuanzhi, who even had a strange smile on his face?
Liu Shiyi looked at Tangyu again and realized he was pretending, and at that mont, he even flashed her a smile.
She imdiately let go of Tangyu’s arm, her face blushing shyly as she glared at Tangyu briefly before turning away, pretending nothing had happened.
“Haha, what just happened?
I didn’t see anything, did you guys see sothing?” Yu Zhaoke teased with a laugh.
“Didn’t see anything oh, I was almost killed by the sweetness, couldn’t pay attention to much else, how about you guys?”
“I think I saw love so thick it’s like the deep sea, so affectionate, too blissful.”
With Yu Zhaoke and others joking around, Liu Shiyi found it even harder to contain her embarrassnt, her face as red as a ripe apple.
Stomping her foot, she almost wanted to pounce on Tangyu and bite him; the scoundrel had tricked her so, leaving her utterly embarrassed.
“Just a joke to lighten the mood, don’t be so agitated.
How could I possibly be in trouble?” said Tangyu.
“Tangyu, you’re so bad, your acting is top-notch, I really thought you had been poisoned just now; it got my heart racing.
But Doctor Xiao, you’re amazing, how did you figure out that Tangyu was pretending?” Yu Zhaoke said.
“It’s quite simple because I know Tangyu wouldn’t be poisoned.
Even if he were, he could resolve it by himself.
Furthermore, there was a glaring flaw.
Given Tangyu’s tough character, a little pain wouldn’t make him react that much, nor would he have cried out.
He would definitely have endured it.
So obviously, soone was putting in a great effort.
As for what exactly they were up to, I didn’t see, so if anyone else saw, let know,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
“Cough cough, alright, alright, it was just a joke, don’t tease the girl anymore, look how red her face has turned,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shiyi turned her head and glared fiercely at Tangyu, saying annoyed, “You still have the face to talk, I despise you.”
“Oh dear, I despise you, I really do,” Yu Zhaoke exaggerated in a very effeminate way.
“…”
After so playful antics, the atmosphere once again intensified, everyone was talking and laughing, significantly narrowing the distance between them.
This team had now truly beco a united team.
Tangyu, undoubtedly, was the rightful leader, winning everyone’s well-deserved respect with his charismatic personality and superb dical skills.
“Alright, enough fooling around, let’s get to work, everyone follow my prescription to prepare the antidotes,” Tangyu said.
“Big Brother Tang, there’s another problem.
The Late Mountain Reservoir is so vast, it’s impossible to calculate exactly how much water there is.
How much antidote should we actually prepare?
If it’s too little, it won’t work, and if it’s too much, it might end up poisoning the reservoir’s water,” Yu Zhaoke said.
Tangyu said, “That’s a very constructive question, and I’ve considered it carefully.
We’ll prepare as much antidote as we have first.
As for the amount to be administered, I’ll estimate that later.
Of course, we’ll need help from the Yang County Magistrate to bring in people who can survey this matter, to provide a good standard for us.
Better more than less.
If it’s more, it can be naturally purified even if the water becos slightly toxic.
And a little extra shouldn’t be a big problem.
Of course, after purification, the water still can’t be directly consud for at least a month’s recovery period.
I’ll also prepare so mild herbs with Ye Mai, to be poured into the reservoir.”
“Oh, I see, that might be the only way then,” Yu Zhaoke nodded.
The group started getting active; the Yang County Magistrate had those staying in the valley collect all the herbs there, while Tangyu and his team were responsible for preparing the antidotes.
Upon learning about the situation, the villagers rushed to inform others, and everyone headed towards the Late Mountain Reservoir.
The Yang County Magistrate had to have the special police set up a cordoned area to prevent anyone, especially the playful children, from rushing in.
Preparing the antidote was sowhat long-winded, because the quantity needed was imnse, and only six groups were formulating it, leaving others unable to help much.
Everyone was too busy to have lunch at noon, the Yang County Magistrate and his team accompanied Tangyu and his team in hunger.
Finally, by three in the afternoon, they had completely prepared all the antidote.
The survey team called by the Yang County Magistrate also reported back the roughly asured volu of water in the Late Mountain Reservoir.
Based on this information, Tangyu recalculated a coefficient and then figured out how much antidote was needed.
The final result actually amused Tangyu; it matched the amount of antidote they had prepared perfectly, not more, not less, as if it had been preordained, which sowhat made him chuckle unexpectedly.
Since that was the calculated outco, Tangyu did not hesitate to instruct his team to start pouring the antidotes into the Late Mountain Reservoir, and he also advised all villagers not to drink the water from the reservoir for one month.
