However, according to the current situation, what Shan Yue was most worried about was not that the antidote could not be developed, but that the situation outside would not last until the antidote was successfully developed.
Just as she was deep in thought, Zhou Xuan called.
Shan Yue hurriedly put down the medicine in her hand and left the laboratory.
“Shan Yue, did you see the live-stream news on television? Especially the Federation’s airport. The people surrounding it are even about to occupy the entire airport.”
Zhou Xuan’s anxiousness could be heard in his words. “I’m driving over there now. If this situation is not stopped, the consequences might be unimaginable. If it’s not handled well, it will cause the Federation’s Central City to lose the order that has been maintained for a hundred years. It will definitely cause innocent casualties.”
“I understand your worry, but the best way to think of now is to stabilize the panic of the common people, and this is only temporary.”
Shan Yue’s thoughts were very clear. She knew very well where the root of the problem lay. “If we want people to be completely obedient, the only way is to develop the antidote.”
“That’s why I’m calling you now. I said I’d buy you enough time, and I’m going to do it.”
Zhou Xuan’s gaze was very firm on the other end of the phone. “Just tell me how much longer it will take now. You just have to focus on your research and don’t worry about anything else.”
Although Shan Yue did not want to place all the pressure from the outside world on Zhou Xuan, the current situation did not leave her with much choice.
She had to devote herself to research and had no more time to resolve external conflicts.
Shan Yue paused for a moment and quickly smiled. “A week. I need at least a week.”
“No problem.” Zhou Xuan’s voice was firm and infectious. Although it was only through the phone, it still imperceptibly gave Shan Yue endless strength. “Don’t worry, just focus on your research. As long as I’m here, I’ll protect you from all the pressure from the outside world.”
“Thank you, Zhou Xuan.”
Shan Yue was very gratified. Although her previous life’s experience made her no longer want to trust anyone, in this situation, more and more people were sincerely helping her, making her choose to give them her trust again.
“What are you talking about? When did our relationship reach the point where we need to say thank you?”
Zhou Xuan regained his unique gentleness towards Shan Yue. “Although we haven’t seen and contacted each other much because of the virus recently, I’m still worried about you all the time. You have to remember that I’m your boyfriend. No matter what happens, I’ll stand by your side.”
After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Shan Yue’s face, and her heart had already begun to race. “Alright, focus on driving. Be careful when you reach the airport. People have already lost their rationality. As long as something related to life rights is violated, they can do anything.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
After hanging up, Zhou Xuan’s car happened to stop at the entrance of the airport.
From afar, the entire airport had long been surrounded. It was even very difficult to move to the front. At this moment, the importance of bodyguards was displayed. Two rows of burly bodies instantly opened up a path in the crowd, enough for Zhou Xuan to pass through.
Although the process was still very difficult, it still saved a lot of time.
In a few minutes, Zhou Xuan moved from the entrance of the airport to the front.
As soon as he passed through the crowd, Zhou Xuan heard the argument between the two sides.
“Governor, why should we, the survivors, be sealed in this city? We know you’re doing this for the sake of the country, but isn’t there anyone who’s doing this for the sake of ordinary people like us who purely want to live?”
The man in the lead stood in front of the governor and expressed everyone’s thoughts. “Do you have to wait until everyone who isn’t infected is infected?”
“Of course not. It’s just that if the restrictions are released now, there will definitely be some people who are early-stage infected or people with potential viruses who will take advantage of the chaos to leave the Federation City. At the same time, they will bring the virus out..”
