Chapter 438: If Zi Yi Can’t Take Responsibility, I’ll Take Responsibility On Her Behalf
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Director Yang did not expect Professor Dou to ask this question. He then answered with a solemn expression, “I’ve already called the professors from the School of Medicine to come over. What they did was an XX chemistry experiment and the poison produced through this experiment cannot be detoxified through normal medical drugs.”
Dou Xiaoyong did not understand the chemical term Director Yang had mentioned, but he subconsciously looked at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi said, “Director Yang, you should send people to collect some XXX grass and also prepare some…”
Zi Yi said several chemical-related terms in succession.
Director Yang looked at Zi Yi’s calmness and he had also somewhat calmed down. After hearing what she said, he was thinking whether to follow what she said and also that he should give it a try, because this was the slightest hope there was right now.
Thinking of this, he hastily turned around and shouted towards two others, “Chang Ping, Li Tong, go and prepare these XX things at once. Be quick, and get a few others to go with you.”
The two of them hastily responded.
Zi Yi continued to speak. “You should get in touch with those who went up to rescue the people trapped above. If they are unable to get in, let them retreat to a ventilated area.”
“But–”
“The poison caused by this type of experiment would cause hallucination and palpitations. Besides that, their bodies will start twitching and if they do not get out within half an hour, they will die on the spot.”
Director Yang’s heart clenched tightly and he hastily took out his phone to make a call.
However, no one answered.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. “No one is answering the call. This won’t do, I have to go up and check.”
“Director Yang.”
Zi Yi called out to him and said, “In the current situation, whoever goes up would just lead to an increased number of casualties. We can only let robots go up.”
“Robots?” Director Yang hastily looked at Dou Xiaoyong.
Dou Xiaoyong was about to take out his phone to get them to deliver the robots.
However, Zi Yi said, “It’s too late. It’ll take the robots at least ten minutes to arrive.”
Having said that, she quickly made her way towards the entrance.
“Little Zi, what are you doing?”
“Student Zi, come back.”
Dou Xiaoyong and Director Yang hastily followed her.
All of them were shocked by Zi Yi’s actions.
Soon, the three of them entered the building.
“Little Zi, what are you doing?” Dou Xiaoyong wanted to pull her back.
“Saving them.” While walking Zi Yi said to Director Yang, “Help me prepare a few apparatus and place them in the hall. When the people are rescued, the items I have asked you to prepare must be chemically decomposed before they can be used.”
Director Yang paused for two seconds and hastily said, “Okay.”
He then headed out to look for the equipment.
Zi Yi and Dou Xiaoyong continued walking up the stairs and she said, “I’ve brought an invisible robot with me.”
Soon, they arrived at the staircase connecting the third and fourth floors.
There was a higher up along with some rescuers above them and their complexion did not look good.
Zi Yi said to them, “All of you, step down.”
The higher up heard her voice and turned over to see Zi Yi and Dou Xiaoyong.
Just as he wanted to reprimand them, Zi Yi looked into his eyes and said, “If we don’t get them out as soon as possible, no one can save the people inside.”
The higher up’s body shook and he subconsciously said to everyone, “Step down.”
After the group of rescuers had retreated, Zi Yi called out Shadow as everyone looked at her in shock. “Go and rescue everyone.”
“Yes, Master.”
Shadow’s speed was very fast. He had merely used five minutes to rescue over forty people.
The group of rescuers standing by the staircase were all so shocked that they forgot to react.
Dou Xiaoyong thought of something and hastily asked, “Little Zi, can these people be carried downstairs.”
“Yes, but make sure to wear a gas mask and be careful.”
The moment Zi Yi said that, the group of people immediately took action.
By the time everyone was carried to the hall downstairs, there was already a group of higher-ups standing there. There were chemistry professors, medical professors, and even Nangong Yu had come.
All of their expressions revealed worry and looked serious.
The higher-ups were just about to get people to carry them into the ambulances, when Zi Yi walked to the entrance and stopped them.
“You can’t bring them away. It’s already too late. We have to give them first aid,” she said.
Professor Wang from the School of Medicine furrowed his brow. “Student Zi, it’s not an ordinary poisoning case. The first aid tools we brought with us are useless and do you know the consequences of stopping everyone?”
“I know,” Zi Yi said. “The poison they are inflicted with contains these few chemical elements. If we do not expel them, you won’t be able to get them to the hospital in time.”
Professor Wang said with a taut expression, “It’s a matter of life and death right now. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have slight knowledge of chemistry and medicine. If something were to happen to these people due to your obstruction, do you think you’re able to take responsibility?”
Just as Zi Yi was about to speak, a loud voice suddenly sounded from behind her. “If that lass is unable to take responsibility, then I’ll take responsibility on her behalf.”
Everyone looked towards the old man walking through the doors.
“Teacher.” Professor Wang let out an unexpected cry.
Elder Tang walked to Zi Yi’s side and the group of professors from the School of Medicine greeted him.
“Elder Tang, why have you come?”
“I’m here to look for my student.”
After Elder Tang said that he looked towards the students lying in the hall. “Little Zi, do as per your original plans. In my opinion, I think it’ll be too late if we don’t rescue them now.”
His expressions then changed as he looked at the group of professors. “None of you are allowed to stop her!”
Elder Tang was the Mt. Tai of the medicine circle for traditional Chinese medicine. Who would dare to oppose his words?
One of the higher-ups was still uneasy. “Elder Tang, the situation is very dangerous, and can Student Zi really rescue them?”
“Since I’ve said that she’s capable of it, I meant what I said.”
Elder Tang then looked at Zi Yi and asked, “Little Zi, what needs to be done now and what do you need them to do?”
Zi Yi looked towards Director Yang, who had prepared the items for her.
Director Yang immediately said, “Everything has been prepared.”
He then pointed at the apparatus placed at the side.
Zi Yi walked over in large strides and hastily said, “I need to make some XX right now. It would be best if the chemistry professors come over and help out right now.”
The chemical components Zi Yi had mentioned were easy to create and a few chemistry professors subconsciously walked over and helped out.
While Zi Yi was doing the experiment, she said to the professors from the School of Medicine, “You should have brought…”
Zi Yi gave them orders with a calm mannerism and the crowd who were originally anxious had calmed down.
The professors from the two departments had helped out without hesitation.
The crowd had also hastily made way for them.
Minutes and seconds elapsed and the situation was extremely hard to handle for everyone.
It seemed as if a long time had passed, but in reality, it had only been a few minutes.
Zi Yi spoke up just then. “Feed them the medicine.”
Everyone standing in the hall acted at once. Soon, the liquid medicine they prepared had been fed to the students who were poisoned.
At the same time, Zi Yi lit up the grass she had told Director Yang to collect. Upon lighting it, it quickly gave off a strong smell of smoke.
Just then, someone exclaimed loudly. “No good, this student doesn’t seem to be breathing!”
