After a brief moment of silence, Chu Chining asked in a low voice, "Can they be saved?"

The only difference was their diet, changing from poultry and fish to humans.
Chu Chining's expression shifted subtly, and he then realized, "So, that's the case. We were speculating before whether this virus was created in some research facility."
In truth, their speculations about the virus were not entirely far-fetched.
