"Many hands make light work, and there will be more ideas."
"I disagree. We have no idea how good these people's medical skills are. It'll be good enough if they don't cause any trouble."
Shi Wan frowned. "Do you think the people I've found are unreliable?"
The man didn't say a word, but his expression said it all.
"If you have any objections, you can leave."
"What... did you just say?!"
The man thought Shi Wan would beg him to stay and give up on those people. He never expected that she would actually tell him to leave.
"I was sent here by the higher - ups. You don't have the authority to do this!"
"What about me? Do I have the authority?" Nian Yi said coldly.
The man was taken aback. "This is not the time to be making trouble."
If Nian Yi told him to leave, he really wouldn't be able to resist.
But with his status as an expert, if he left, how could they continue researching the vaccine?
"Either come in with us or leave."
The man was furious. Looking at Nian Yi and feeling that the latter was always protecting Shi Wan, he had no choice but to give in.
Nian Yi sat in the main seat, and Shi Wan shared her thoughts.
He pondered for a while. "I'll contact someone right away..."
"Report!" A voice rang out. The person who came gave a military salute. "Major! People from Country M are here!"
"What? Are you sure?"
Nian Yi didn't seem overly excited. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
They hadn't even made any contact. How did the people from Country M know what they needed?
Shi Wan was stunned. She instinctively thought of Shen Siyan.
She knew that he had people around her. The supplies were delivered just a few hours after they had mentioned their needs.
Could they be in the country?
"Call them in first. Please leave for now, everyone."
Shi Wan nodded and left with the others.
The person who came was a man in a suit. His deep - set features were extremely good - looking, but his eyes always gave people a fierce feeling, as if... he had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies.
Shi Wan was all too familiar with this kind of look.
"Miss Shi, the major requests your presence inside."
Shortly after they had come out, the man beside Nian Yi came out and said.
"Why does Shi Wan get to go in?"
"Sorry, I'm just following orders."
The few people watched Shi Wan's back with unwillingness. She was just a young girl, yet she was throwing her weight around with them.
As soon as Shi Wan went in, Nian Yi led the others out. Only Shi Wan and the man were left in the tent.
The man presented the medicine with both hands. "Little Madam, Sir said that he will be waiting for you to return."
It was indeed Shen Siyan.
"How did he get this kind of medicine?"
And it was the finished product?
"Sorry, this is not within my scope of answering. I'm just in charge of delivering the medicine."
The man hesitated for a moment and didn't answer.
Shi Wan didn't press him. "Thank you."
"You should thank Sir. I'll take my leave."
She nodded. After the man left, Nian Yi came in.
"Wanwan, this is..."
"There's no time to explain. The person who delivered the medicine poses no threat to us. They're here to help."
These words reassured Nian Yi.
Even if everyone betrayed the country, Shi Wan wouldn't. Her identity and duties wouldn't allow it. So he didn't have the slightest doubt about her words.
"There are finished medicines here as well as the ingredients we need. To avoid any accidents, we need to conduct tests first."
"Okay, I'll have people guard outside so as not to disturb you."
Shi Wan nodded. "Call those people outside in. Tell them it was purchased by the state."
Nian Yi gave an affirmative grunt and turned to leave. Soon, all the doctors outside came in, looking at her with curiosity and admiration.
"Miss Shi, we heard just now that the major is your elder brother?"
Shi Wan was silent for a moment and then nodded.
In the Nian family, it kind of counted, right?
"Amazing!"
"Your elder brother is really capable. He managed to get you in here."
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was a bit awkward.
Dean Yu sneered. "May I ask where you work?"
"I'm not very talented..."
"Not very talented and still have the nerve to talk about our Wanwan?"
"You!" The man blushed. "No matter how useless I am, I'm still better than a little girl like her!"
"Are you sure?" Dean Yu said slowly. "You don't look like someone who has met important people. Wanwan is a divine doctor, the legendary Cuncunjin."
The others: "..."
No way?
Looking at this girl from every angle, she didn't seem like it.
"You're joking, right? A little girl..." The man's mocking words suddenly stopped. He remembered that there had indeed been news saying that Cuncunjin was a girl in her teens or twenties, whose name was something like Wan...
The man was shocked. All the information matched the person in front of him. Moreover, she was here...
"So what? As a doctor, it's only right to come here to save people, isn't it?"
"You..."
"Dean Yu, don't waste your breath on him. You can never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep."
"Okay, let's hurry up and start the research. With the virus and the earthquake, the environment is really difficult. I hope the casualty count can be reduced."
The others followed Shi Wan one after another.
After learning her identity, the remaining people cooperated actively, and the disdain in their eyes for her was gone.
In a blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Shi Wan and the others were still in the research room.
Although the situation had been brought under control, the number of infected people was increasing every day. If they didn't handle it in time, this city would probably become a desolate city, and there would be no one left here.
The fourth day... the fifth day...
Many people had basically given up hope. It had been so long. It seemed that there was no hope.
The panicked crowd began to get restless. No one wanted to die, but they couldn't get out and couldn't get treatment. They had no choice but to wait for death.
Finally, on the night of the fifth day, a riot broke out.
It was very noisy outside. As soon as Shi Wan came out, she was protected behind someone.
"Little Madam, it's dangerous outside. We've arranged a helicopter to escort you away."
"What's going on?"
"Many people have lost hope, so..."
Shi Wan frowned. "Call Major Nian over."
"Little Madam, they have their own protection. Our orders are to protect you at all costs."
Which meant that what happened to the others had nothing to do with them.
"Go!" Shi Wan gave a cold look. "Tell them that the vaccine has been developed. Those who don't want to die should stop immediately."
The man's body stiffened. He inexplicably felt as if he was seeing Sir.
"Yes."
"Wanwan, what's going on outside?"
Dean Yu poked his head out. Seeing the people beside Shi Wan, he was puzzled.
"It's okay. Don't come out yet. Come out when I tell you to."
"Okay..."
"Why should I? I've been here for days and still can't go out. I want to go out now."
The stubborn old man wanted to go out. Dean Yu slapped him on the head.
"Shut up. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."
The man snorted. "It's clearly because of your lack of ability!"
"You! Hey, what's going on outside?"
