Chapter 563: Race Against Time

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The doctors from Salvation Hall were too busy to be distracted, all of them fully engrossed in saving lives.

The Crown Prince, seeing everyone occupied, personally went to the medicine room to find Gu Qingluan.

But he was intercepted by Feng Tianlan.

He had just arrived and knew that Gu Qingluan was currently working on an antidote and couldn’t be disturbed. So, he voluntarily acted as a guard and stood in front of the medicine room.

Feng Tianlan’s calm gaze fell on Qitian You, and he inquired, “What’s happened?”

“Many patients outside suddenly worsened, and Dr. Du can’t save them all! I want to ask Qingluan for help.”

Feng Tianlan’s brows furrowed at these words. When he had just arrived, the situation had been normal. In such a short period, how had everything changed so drastically?

He extended his divine sense, and the entire Salvation Hall instantly appeared in his mind.

Everywhere, there were painful struggles and moans, and people’s expressions were contorted with agony. The doctors and assistants were all incredibly busy, and the situation was dire.

“She’s currently occupied.”

“I understand that she’s researching the antidote, but those patients can’t wait any longer. We must save their lives first and then consider whether we can cure them,” Qi Tianyou said anxiously.

He knew that what Gu Qingluan was doing was important, but there were so many people outside, and they couldn’t just watch them die, could they?

Feng Tianlan was about to speak when the room’s door behind them creaked open.

Feng Tianlan turned to look.

Gu Qingluan walked out of the room, her dress fluttering as she moved swiftly, like the wind.

Feng Tianlan’s gaze swept over her from head to toe, including her strands of hair. After confirming that she was in good health, his heart eased slightly.

God knows how worried he had been when he heard from his subordinates that Qingluan, disregarding the danger, had brought their sons to Salvation Hall.

He had come with a belly full of anger, but now, seeing her, all that anger dissipated in an instant.

Gu Qingluan quickly glanced at Feng Tianlan and then turned her attention to Qi Tianyou. “I’ll go with you.”

Under normal circumstances, she was deeply engrossed in her research and couldn’t hear external sounds. However, her experiment had hit a snag, and she happened to be distracted when she heard Qi Tianyou’s words.

She read many medical books, but she had never encountered a situation where a plague caused patients to collectively worsen. It was quite peculiar.

Perhaps, these people weren’t simply infected with the plague.

Since she couldn’t find any leads in her research, she decided to go and see the patients herself.

Qi Tianyou’s face lit up with joy. “Great!”

Feng Tianlan pursed his lips and followed them as they headed outside.

On the way, Qi Tianyou quickly explained the recent unexpected situation.

By the time he finished, they had arrived in the main hall of Salvation Hall.

Previously, only a few rooms in the clinic were designated as critical care units, but now, due to the sudden worsening of patients, all of them had become critical cases. Some of the staff at Salvation Hall had also shown symptoms of the illness.

As a result, the remaining medical staff faced even greater pressure.

Gu Qingluan sought out Du Youran.

“Do you know why this situation suddenly occurred?”

Du Youran, while administering acupuncture to a patient, replied, “I haven’t figured out the cause yet.”

Gu Qingluan said, “Then let’s focus on saving lives for now.”

She then turned to Feng Tianlan and asked, “Can you watch me perform it once and then assist in saving lives?”

She knew that Feng Tianlan also had extraordinary talent in this field, and in this urgent situation, she couldn’t afford to be concerned about his status; she needed his help.

Naturally, Feng Tianlan didn’t refuse her request. “Sure.”

So, Gu Qingluan took a few steps and approached a patient nearby.

Due to the large number of patients and a shortage of beds, many of them were lying directly on the floor.

The patient in front of Gu Qingluan was curled up on their side.

She asked the patient to lie flat, but they might have already been delirious, instinctively curling up and not heeding her words.

She touched the patient’s body a couple of times, relieving their pain and restoring some consciousness.

Gu Qingluan instructed the patient to lie flat again.

This time, the patient complied, turning onto their back with arms at their sides, legs extended. Their eyes half-closed, they were breathing rapidly, still in considerable discomfort even though Gu Qingluan had temporarily alleviated their pain.

Because she needed to demonstrate for Feng Tianlan, Gu Qingluan proceeded with her actions at a measured pace.

After she finished administering acupuncture, she asked Feng Tianlan, “Do you understand?”

Feng Tianlan nodded.

“Alright, you give it a try.”

Gu Qingluan used her bare hand to retrieve a set of clean silver needles from her storage space.

Feng Tianlan chose a patient and followed Gu Qingluan’s instructions for treatment.

Impressed by his accuracy, Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but admire him. “Impressive! You got it exactly right. Now, let’s keep working.”

Feng Tianlan moved his lips slightly, conveying, “It’s not a problem,” as long as he could assist her.

The two of them continued saving lives.

As Gu Qingluan administered acupuncture, she also used her divine sense to observe the patients’ bodies.

She wanted to understand why these people had all suddenly deteriorated to critical condition.

After saving several patients, she still couldn’t find the cause.

She realized that she probably wouldn’t be able to find the answers in the short term, so she temporarily set that aside and focused on stabilizing everyone’s condition.

Without diverting her attention to observe their bodies, her speed increased significantly.

She held a set of silver needles between her ten fingers, and with a faint glimmer of white light, the needles shot toward the eight people lying side by side..
