Chapter 24 - The Serum Therapy

John was gone, and Oliver had a feeling of disappointment.

He knew this man, and had been in contact with him in the moon base. A very ordinary boy, and did not say a few words to him, and just quietly went away ...

Oliver was a soldier, he had seen too many deaths, but this time, John's death blocked his heart.

John's life was an ordinary one. Very ordinary origin, not bad educational experience. Slight ups and downs in life, there have been fantasy period, rebellious period, the second stage, and ordinary people are no different.

On the whole, his life was uneventful, and he did not do anything spectacular, and he did well in his studies. But there is no doubt that he is a good person in the true sense of the word.

His IQ is not low, otherwise it would not be possible to get into a top international university.

But his personality may be rather mute, so that everyone thinks he is honest and easy to bully.

Some people take advantage of his honesty, exploit him, and then skim off with a kick afterwards. Some people sympathize with him, can't bear him to be bullied, quietly protect him. There are people like this and that. Human nature, always so complex, there are good people, there are also bad people.

But the injustice suffered by John, really too much, ultimately or the social system, dishonest always easier to survive than honest.

Honest people should not be bullied, honest people should have a good reward ah ... This is John's last wish before he left. He hoped that the remaining honest people on the Noah and him, can live a good life, happy life.

For John's wish, Oliver, of course, agreed, which is consistent with the goal he achieved, not contradictory ...

Anyway, there are only 50,000 people on the Noah, all kinds of interests are very simple. Oliver believes that for those who are honest, upwardly mobile, gentle and kind, surely they should be allowed to live a better life.

For the treacherous, selfish, evil villain, then sorry, do not engage you to engage who ... not to your death, then he is not called Oliver. But there are not many such people on the Noah, he knows a few, and his heart is certainly in the right place.

He felt his head had begun to flex, without that blocked feeling, perhaps the immune system in his own body was working. But just for a moment, it made him anxious beyond belief, because two more stars had completely dimmed. This means that two more Martian virus infected people have died.

How could he not be anxious when the human population was really too small, one dead and one less?

Oliver knew that with the severity of the symptoms, the high fever could no longer protect humans completely, and if people couldn't find a good solution, the number of deaths would increase ...

"Hurry up! Wake up!" He kept urging himself, although anxious, he did not have any entity in this space and could not make any effort ...

As long as he can wake up, it means that the antibodies in his body have matured, and with the antibodies, he can save people!

Although he didn't know how hard he should push, Oliver struggled frantically ...

Mars base, biological laboratory ...

"How's it going? How is Mr. Yu's physical condition?" Aidan, the science team leader in charge of Oliver's side, asked anxiously. He felt that he had ill-considered, injecting so many viruses at once, in case something happened, it would be a big trouble!

Aidan was a famous biologist. He already had symptoms of rising body temperature, but he was still insisting on working at the moment, and he hoped that he would be able to complete part of the task before he passed out.

He wants to see the light of victory!

"Almost ... almost done! It's unbelievable! We've detected a large number of strange protein components that should be specific antibodies ... That's right! It's the antibody!" A young researcher was in an almost frenzied mood saying something to the effect that the invading virus was almost wiped out.

"I've been drawing blood every ten minutes, and the rate of the virus has gradually decreased, and now it's almost gone?! Only the residual toxin is still working. It's really incredible ..."

"And ah, Mr. Yu's brain wave changes are very complex, a bit like a nightmare? ... The exact cause is unknown!"

Listen to these, the scientific team leader Aidan immediately asked: "Do not say those other, protein composition assay came out? Have you found the specific white blood cells?"

The researcher said in a frenzied tone: "... not yet, the mechanism is very complex, probably several immune cells working together, we can't explain it for the time being.

If we can, we need to take a large amount of fresh blood and then perform cell culture to isolate a serum that contains antibodies ... This serum should have some therapeutic effect!"

"This protein is really too complex, even if we know the molecular formula there is no way to synthesize it artificially ah, our technology, there is no way to synthesize such complex things ..." that researcher shouted wildly, now simply do not distinguish between subordinates, think of what to say.

Aidan heard this, immediately excited, yelled: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly, quickly! Quickly draw 300cc ... no, 400cc of blood! There are already death cases in the ward! You still don't hurry!"

Hearing this, the researcher hesitated: "But ..."

"There is nothing but!" Aidan could see what he was hesitating about: "Do you think Mr. Yu will blame us? He is not such a person ... If we do not smoke, he will blame us instead, this is a human life! Human lives are at stake!"

"One minute earlier, one less person will die! Hurry up!" Aidan shouted out almost roaring.

"Yes, yes!!!" The researcher immediately grabbed a syringe and stuck it into Oliver's skin, bright red blood flowed out, but it represented hope for all the patients!

400cc, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, an ordinary person can donate that much blood at once.

However, Oliver had already had several blood tests drawn some time ago, a slight overdose, and may not be too comfortable when he wakes up.

"After the blood is drawn, isolate the healing serum and administer the serum therapy to the patient!" Aidan ordered on the spot, while he himself began to prepare the relevant experiments.

Oliver happened to be blood type O, and the serum could be injected into the bodies of almost all patients.

Since 1890, when scientists Belling and Kitasato Shibasaburo discovered the therapeutic effect of diphtheria antitoxin serum, serotherapy has become a principle of infectious disease treatment and is used for many kinds of diseases.

This time, the scientists had great expectations for Oliver's serum.

"By the way, a part of the blood will be retained for cell culture to observe the mechanisms ... After all, we can't keep drawing Mr. Oliver's blood ...," Aidan Dr. continued.

"The extracted serum should be given to the patients with the most severe symptoms first. And ah, gene sequencing will continue, absolutely not stop, you know?"

After all, the serum treatment is a kind of indicator that does not cure the root cause. If the serum is used up, people may still be helpless against the Martian virus.

So gene sequencing still has to continue.

Dr. Aidan kept instructing, he felt his consciousness began to blur, it should be that neurotoxin played a role.

Suddenly, he laughed: "We humans are finally going to win!"

He collapsed to the ground at once.
