Chapter 779 A Ferocious Leopard

When he saw the leopard, Li Laogen immediately went back to his tent to get a hunting rifle. But the leopard was so swift that he could not make it in time.

In the blink of an eye, the leopard’s front paw swiped at Guo Tao’s white and tender butt, and then it snapped at the nape of his neck.

Feeling the ferocity of the leopard, Guo Tao was completely scared out of his wits. With this one movement, it could definitely bite off his neck immediately.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. Although the Krait was also very dangerous, it was not as dreaded as the leopard.

Just as the leopard was about to bite Guo Tao’s neck, a black shadow suddenly flew across and directly pierced through the head of the leopard, causing its huge body to fly three or four meters away. It fell to the ground with a plop. After twitching a few times, it did not move anymore.

Li Laogen took out a hunting rifle from the tent only to discover that the leopard had died. He turned on the flashlight and looked ahead. He saw a branch as thick as a finger going through the left ear of the leopard and coming out of the right ear. Its brain was pierced through. No wonder it died so quickly.

Of course, it was Qin Haodong. Although Guo Tao always gave him problems along the way, he could not just stand and watch him being bitten to death by a leopard.

As an outstanding reporter, when Kathaway first saw the leopard, she did not panic. On the contrary, she quickly took out the camera in her hand and recorded all of this.

When she saw Qin Haodong using a branch to bring down the fierce leopard, her mouth opened wide in surprise and she shouted with admiration, “Qin, you are so amazing. Is this the legendary Huaxia Kung Fu?”

Qin Haodong nodded slightly and said, “Yes, this is Huaxia Kung Fu.”

“Qin, it’s really amazing. I want to learn it. Can you teach me?”

Kathaway was enthusiastic and unrestrained and in her excitement, she grabbed Qin Haodong’s arm with both hands and kept shaking it.

However, she was quite busty and her breasts kept bouncing around, a sight which made him feel very dizzy.

Qin Haodong shook off her hands and said, “Miss Kathaway, we have to learn it since we were young. You are no longer suitable at this age.”

With a disappointed look on her face, Kathaway said, “That’s such a pity!”

Seeing that the danger had been averted, everyone ran over to Guo Tao. The leopard was dead, but he was lying on the ground, motionless. They did not know whether he was dead or alive.

Kathaway took Qin Haodong’s arm and asked, “Qin, how is he? Will he be in danger?”

In the blink of an eye, she had already regarded Qin Haodong as the authority among these doctors. When she had doubts in her heart, she immediately expressed them to him.

The other girls were not as open-minded as she was. When they saw that Guo Tao’s big butt was still exposed, they all turned their heads away.

Wang Aimin asked, “Yes, Doctor Qin. How is he now?”

No matter what, Guo Tao and he were from the same institute and he did not want to see his colleague get into trouble.

Qin Haodong said, “He’s fine. He just has a superficial butt wound. He was so scared that he fainted just now.”

As he spoke, he went over to lift Guo Tao by his pants and turned his body over. He took out a silver needle and inserted it into his philtrum area under his nose.

After that, Guo Tao immediately opened his eyes and jumped up from the ground.

“Help, help!”

Obviously, he had not gotten over his fear yet.

Wang Aimin grabbed his arm and shook it a few times. “Wake up. The leopard is dead.”

“Ah? Is it dead?”

Guo Tao stopped and looked back. When he saw the carcass of the leopard lying on the ground, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

But at this time, he looked very messy. He might have been too engrossed earlier with Dong Anna, so the front of his pants was covered with blood. Fortunately, only his butt was scratched by the leopard, yet there were bloodstains everywhere. No one knew where the blood came from.

But the two of them came out in the middle of the night and attracted the attention of the leopard. Now, everyone knew what they had been up to.

Wang Aimin felt very helpless to have such an assistant, but Guo Tao was not his subordinate, and he had a strong relationship with the higher-ups. He had no choice but to say, “It was Doctor Qin who saved you.”

Guo Tao, with an embarrassed look on his face, muttered, “Thank you, Doctor Qin!”

Qin Haodong could not be bothered with this kind of person. He did not even look at him. First, he sent Su Hui back to the tent, and then he went back to rest.

Zhuo Bufan looked at Guo Tao and Dong Anna, and his heart was full of anger. He really didn’t know who had sent this woman. She was of no use at all, and she was a troublemaker. She had caused trouble for him twice, in just half a day.

“I’m telling you, keep a low profile in the future, or I’ll report it to the higher-ups immediately and send you back.”

Guo Tao and Dong Anna did not belong to the Central Hospital. He was the team leader, but he had no right to restrict them, so he could only say this and hope they understood the underlying meaning of his words.

After this farce, everyone went back to their tents to rest. After breakfast the next day, the work officially began.

Zhuo Bufan first organized people to assemble the medical equipment they brought, and then began to test the blood samples collected from Niu Erwa and the other patients, in order to determine the nature of the virus. At the same time, he also checked the source of the wound on Niu Erwa’s body.

Near noon, he called all the members of the specialist team into the tent for a meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhuo Bufan took the lead to speak. “Everyone, after our hard work this morning, we have confirmed that the virus in Niu Erwa is indeed a new strain and we have never come into contact with it before.”

“At the same time, through the research of the wounds on his body, we are certain that he had been bitten by a bat. From this, we can deduce that the unknown virus in his body came from the bat.”

Ye Liying said, “This kind of virus is very troublesome. At present, there is no medication that can eliminate it in our country and there is no vaccine to prevent it.”

“But M Country has it.” Zhuo Bufan’s face flashed with pride and he continued, “When I was in M Country, a small tribe in Africa had such a special case.”

“After the patient was infected with the virus, it was very difficult for him to move. His arms and legs had stiffened like that of a zombie. At that time, that person did not manage to get any effective treatment, but the virus on his body was effectively preserved.”

“Later, after M Country’s biochemistry research department did a thorough research, it developed an effective drug for this virus. I just called a friend of M Country, and he will be sending the drug over immediately.”

“It will not take more than a few hours for us to completely cure the patient and complete the task given to us by the Ministry of Health.”

Hearing what he said, the others were also excited. If they could eliminate this virus totally and cure Niu Erwa and the others, everyone would benefit a lot when they went back.

Especially Dong Anna and Guo Tao. They hated this kind of primitive ecological lifestyle, where a leopard could appear at any time. They wished they could fly back to the capital immediately.

Just as everyone was extremely excited, Qin Haodong said, “Mr. Guo, have you ever done any clinical trials on the patient with the special drug you mentioned? Can you be sure that it can effectively kill this virus?”

Hearing his words, Zhuo Bufan’s face immediately darkened. “Are you questioning me?”

Qin Haodong said, “I’m not questioning you. I’m discussing the feasibility of this kind of case. This time, it’s very important. We have to be careful.”

Zhuo Bufan said unhappily, “A senior brother of mine developed this medicine when he was still in college. He did a profound research on viruses. At the same time, he used this medicine in the laboratory to successfully kill the virus sample left on the patient’s body. There is no doubt about that.”

Qin Haodong said, “Mr. Zhuo, I think there are two more things about this special medicine that you mentioned that are uncertain. First of all, the survival ability of the virus in people’s bodies is different from that of those in the lab.”

“Some viruses have a strong vitality in the human body, but once they are separated from the human body, they would die naturally even without any medicine administered. For example, once the HIV virus leaves the human body, it can only survive for a few seconds. Therefore, this conclusion in the laboratory has to be tested in practice.”

“On the other hand, the virus that the man from the African tribe had is just similar to the one in Niu Erwa’s body. We don’t know if it’s the exact same type, so we should still be cautious about this kind of special medicine.”

After the two questions were revealed, Zhuo Bufan’s face became gloomier. In his opinion, Qin Haodong was jealous of him and could not bear to see him making a great contribution in this task.

He said with a gloomy look, “Doctor Qin, which one of your prescriptions has undergone clinical experiments? What qualifications do you have to talk about clinical treatments with me?”

Qin Haodong said, “It’s different. Western medicine is different from traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine has only been created for more than 100 years. Many drugs that have been formed need clinical tests before they can be used.”

“But traditional Chinese medicine is different. With 5,000 years of heritage, our prescriptions and drugs have already been tested. The cases that have been cured during these thousands of years are our most effective experiments.”

Sun Fengqing immediately said, “I think what Doctor Qin said makes sense. We don’t know whether that medicine is effective. Don’t be too optimistic.”

Zhao Meng sneered and said, “I think you Chinese medicine practitioners are jealous of us. There is nothing you can do about the virus. When you see that Director Zhuo has this special medicine, you are jealous and want to take the credit.”

Seeing that this guy was beginning to slander traditional Chinese medicine again, Sun Bowei said, “Nonsense. Who said that traditional Chinese medicine can’t cure viruses? We also have effective prescriptions.”

Zhuo Bufan said with a cold face, “Okay, stop arguing. I have made a comparison of the virus specimen on Niu Erwa’s body to the one in Africa. The two are exactly the same. There is no doubt about that.”

“So what we have to do is to wait for the special medicine to come, and then the patients will be cured.”

Qin Haodong said, “Doctor Zhuo, this incident is very important, and time is precious. How about this? Will you let a patient be treated by Mr. Sun and I with traditional Chinese medicine? Maybe we can also find an effective treatment method.”

“This is absolutely not possible. The patient is not a test subject, and every life is priceless. How can we casually use a patient to conduct experiments?”

Zhuo Bufan sneered in his heart, “After talking for a long time, you still want to compete with me for credit.” He said, “I want to enforce a discipline. No one is allowed to come into contact with patients in the isolation center before the special medicine arrives here.”

Sun Bowei said, unconvinced, “What are you talking about? Isn’t it the first time for a patient to use your medicine? Isn’t it an experiment too?”

Zhuo Bufan said coldly, “How can it be the same? This kind of special medicine is a product of science. It has a 100% chance of treating this virus. It’s different from your grass roots, wooden sticks and rotten barks.”
