Chapter 2968

As soon as they arrived in Zeban City, Yan Xiwan and her team had no time to rest. They immediately joined the rescue efforts.

Yan Xiwan examined the patients first. Based on their conditions, she told Professor Feng right away, "Let's start researching the vaccine."

Professor Feng knew Yan Xiwan’s abilities well, so she supported her decision.

Yan Xiwan spent her days treating patients and her nights researching the vaccine. She worked day and night without stopping.

The doctors and nurses who came with her were very worried about her. After five days and five nights of continuous work, Professor Feng could not stand it anymore. "Girl, take a rest."

"Teacher, I am resting. I sleep while waiting for the virus to change, so please don't worry," Yan Xiwan said. Her spirit looked good.

"Are you really okay?" Professor Feng looked at her with concern.

Yan Xiwan nodded. "Teacher, rest assured. I am really fine. I feel great."

Seeing her serious expression, Professor Feng finally believed her. "If you get tired, you must rest. Understood?"

"Understood," Yan Xiwan nodded. She checked the time and went to check the virus changes.

"Teacher, Teacher! The vaccine is ready," Yan Xiwan called out from the side.

Professor Feng, who was about to leave, hurried over. He watched the virus changes under the drug with Yan Xiwan.

"Really? We can produce the vaccine now," Professor Feng said excitedly. "Xiwan, you did great."

Yan Xiwan smiled. "I will make the vaccine now. Tomorrow, we will test it on volunteers. Once confirmed safe, we can start production."

"Good. Hurry up. I will report this to the higher-ups." The vaccine was a big deal, but Yan Xiwan herself was even more important.

Professor Feng had always known Yan Xiwan had great talent in medicine. After all, she had created the hemostatic drug before. Now, the HL virus had troubled the nation for a long time. Many people tried to solve it, but no one succeeded. Who would have thought a sixteen-year-old girl would conquer it?

Given her past achievements, such a person must be protected well.

Professor Feng reported Yan Xiwan’s situation to the authorities.

As expected, a team arrived the next day.

Yan Xiwan looked at the four people in front of her and was slightly surprised. "You are here to protect me."

"Yes, Comrade Xiwan. We four belong to the Capital. We were originally on a mission nearby. After completing it, we received orders to protect you temporarily. Once you return to the Capital, other specialized personnel will take over," said the speaker. His name was Yan Du, the captain of the four-person squad.

"I thought I already had protection," Yan Xiwan said. Actually, after she developed the improved anesthetic last time, someone had protected her. But this time, she came with the main group, so she didn’t bring her own guards.

"Those people will undergo special training. Only after passing the assessment can they return to protect you. Until then, we four will be your protectors," Yan Du said seriously.

"Alright. Please introduce yourselves. I don’t even know how to address you," Yan Xiwan thought. It didn’t matter much. She would have protection in the future anyway, since she would continue her medical research.

"Hello, Comrade Yan Xiwan. I am Yan Du, the captain of this squad. These are my team members: Chen Guangming, Hu Ge, and Qian Hui," Yan Du introduced them.

Yan Xiwan nodded slightly. "Then my safety is in your hands for now."

"We guarantee to complete the mission," the four said in unison.

After meeting Yan Du and her team, Yan Xiwan didn’t say much. They would decide how to protect her. Her priority was treating the patients.

Through clinical trials, they confirmed the vaccine was safe. At least, no side effects were found so far. Production began immediately.

However, before mass production, the doctors still needed to work hard to save the patients' lives.

It was a war without smoke, but the danger was no less than on any battlefield.

Yan Xiwan’s brilliance was fully revealed now.

With her superb medical skills and powerful pharmaceutical research, she left a deep impression on the doctors, nurses, and patients in just a few days.

"Dr. Yan, Dr. Yan! Patient 32 is having convulsions," a nurse shouted.

Yan Xiwan rushed over and began acupuncture treatment.

She used the "Thirteen Needles of Reviving Dead Wood" passed down by Zhu Yanyi. Although she used silver needles, the effect was excellent.

Watching Yan Xiwan’s acupuncture skills, the nurse beside her sighed with relief. "Thank goodness Dr. Yan is here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do."

Yan Xiwan glanced at the nurse and smiled. "It’s nothing. We are all doing our best."

Doctors are not cold by nature. They also feel sad. However, having seen so many births, ages, illnesses, and deaths, they accept things more quickly.

Vaccine production started very fast. The materials were prepared during the clinical trials. Once confirmed safe, production began immediately. The first batch of vaccines arrived four days later.

With the vaccine and the doctors’ efforts, this HL outbreak had the lowest death toll in history.

The deaths were regrettable, but people were still joyful that they no longer had to worry about HL appearing again.

Other units handled the aftermath. Yan Xiwan left Zeban City quietly after confirming the patients were out of danger.

Others left with send-offs, but Yan Xiwan did not want anyone to see her off.

Some people wanted to, but they didn’t know she had left.

Yan Xiwan left this way for safety. Yan Du had told her that some countries had sent assassins after her.

Yan Xiwan sighed. She left mainly to stop Yan Du and her team from worrying about her.

However, Yan Xiwan thought she should find a chance to warn those people. They needed to understand what they should and should not do.

Yan Xiwan did not take a car back. She went directly to the nearest airport and flew back to the Capital.

As soon as she got off the plane, she saw Ouyang Tianyun.

Yan Xiwan smiled and threw herself into Ouyang Tianyun’s arms. "I’m back. Look, I am healthy."

Ouyang Tianyun looked Yan Xiwan up and down for a while before speaking slowly. "Your spirit is good, but you have lost weight. It means you didn’t eat well these days."

Yan Xiwan stuck out her tongue. "I forgot to eat because of the research. But I made up for it later."

"Darling, if your eyes weren’t so shifty when you said that, I would believe you," Ouyang Tianyun said helplessly, looking at Yan Xiwan.

Yan Xiwan made a funny face at Ouyang Tianyun again. "Don’t be so picky. Every time you come back from the front line, you are also thin. I never say anything to you." The implication was clear: you can’t criticize me either.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded slightly. "That seems true. However, I remember that every time I come back, you make various medicinal meals for me for a week. Remember to make those meals for me when we go back. I will make them for you every day."

"(⊙o⊙)…" Yan Xiwan was stunned. "No need, right?"

"How can there be no need? Of course, there is," Ouyang Tianyun said seriously. "Besides, taking care of you is my duty."

"But my body is very good. I should eat less medicinal food," Yan Xiwan said. She wasn’t refusing medicinal food, but if every meal for a week was medicinal, she couldn’t handle it.

"I remember my body was also good when I came back, but I still ate a lot of medicinal food. I think you said your medicinal food cures illness if you are sick, and prevents illness if you are healthy. Now I think it’s quite good."

Ouyang Tianyun looked at Yan Xiwan with a smile, seeming very persistent about the medicinal food.

"(⊙o⊙)…" Yan Xiwan was stunned again.

Ouyang Tianyun was just the first wave.

After returning home, Wang Suyu cooked big fish and meat for Yan Xiwan every day. Wang Yuanying, knowing Yan Xiwan had returned, also sent soups and stews three times a day.

Yan Xiwan looked at the several bowls of soup in front of her. She now deeply understood that a "sweet burden" was heavier than a normal burden.

"I can’t eat this much alone," Yan Xiwan said helplessly. She had to ask Ouyang Tianyun for help.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled lightly. He only made medicinal food for the first two days. Later, Wang Suyu and Wang Yuanying took over. He knew that too much of a good thing is bad, so he stopped. But now it seemed that even without his help, the abilities of Queen Wang Suyu and Wang Yuanying were enough for Yan Xiwan to suffer.

Ouyang Tianyun pointed to a bowl in front of Yan Xiwan. "You drink this bowl. I will drink the other one."

Yan Xiwan sighed. She didn’t want Ouyang Tianyun to drink it all either, since drinking too much tonic soup wasn’t good.

"I’m not giving birth. Having so much soup and water every day is really scary," Yan Xiwan muttered.

"This is the kindness of the two mothers," Ouyang Tianyun had to comfort his fiancée.

Yan Xiwan nodded. "I know it is the kindness of the two mothers. So I have to drag you to drink it with me."

Ouyang Tianyun poked Yan Xiwan’s nose. "Alright. We share blessings together, and we share soup together. So you don’t need to say anything else."

Yan Xiwan laughed happily and then said, "Let’s think of a plan. Let’s go out for a walk."

"Escaping the soup?" Ouyang Tianyun saw through Yan Xiwan’s plan at a glance.

Yan Xiwan stuck out her tongue. "It’s not my fault. There is really too much soup. It’s scary just looking at it."

Ouyang Tianyun didn’t say anything. "Coincidentally, I have a project related to herbs these days. Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes, yes," Yan Xiwan said. Going out was good enough. As for the project, she would deal with it after seeing it.
