After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 199 Speculation and Antidote

Liang He was well aware of what the D02 virus meant.

However, she didn't understand its variants.

[Could a variant of the D02 virus cause animals to turn into ferocious beasts?]

Could this be the Beast Virus?
Is the reason why the Animal Research Institute has not been able to develop an antidote for the ferocious beast virus because it has not discovered a variant of the D02 virus?

But it was clearly the toxin components that Nihaodu analyzed this time. Even if there were only trace amounts of the D02 virus variant, he still detected them. Logically, the antidote made from it should not have caused the current situation.

Regarding the Beast Virus, I am not familiar with it and cannot give you a precise answer at this time.

When it comes to serious matters, You Niu Du is no longer as carefree as before and starts to get serious.

However, I suspect that the reason the poisoned animals mutated into ferocious beasts after being injected with the antidote is related to a disruption in their internal balance, and that a certain component of the antidote triggered the ferocious beast's virus.

Your guess about poison is basically consistent with the guesses of Liang He and Lan Zhuo.

This is the trap set by the black wizard.

Just when Hoan and his men thought there was hope, they delivered a fatal blow.

What should I do now? Will giving them more toxin-suppressing pills still help?

Since the animals that took the toxin-suppressing pills didn't mutate into ferocious beasts, they must have been effective, right?

[It's uncertain. It's like getting a vaccine; getting it in advance can prevent infection, but for people who have already developed the disease, the vaccine cannot cure it.]

The answer given by Pharmacist Qiu was exactly what Liang He had expected.

She sighed in disappointment, unsure of what to do next.

"Little Lianghe, don't worry. With me and the stinky pharmacist here, we'll definitely be able to find a way to cure the ferocious beast."

Although You Niu Du has always disliked Qiu Yaoshi, his mortal enemy, he is still willing to condescend to cooperate with Qiu Yaoshi on important matters, especially those related to Liang He.

Yes, he's right.

Pharmacist Qiu also comforted Liang He.

However, the situation is urgent, and with the Iron-Eating Beast still unconscious, she cannot afford to relax.

I have developed a new antidote for the variant of the D02 virus, which may be worth trying on animals that have been infected but haven't mutated into ferocious beasts.

The reason why Pharmacist Qiu was a step behind the antidote developed by the Animal Research Institute was because he focused on the variant of virus D02.

The people at the Animal Research Institute did not understand the D02 virus, let alone its variants. In addition, since it was only a trace amount of toxin, they subconsciously ignored it. Furthermore, due to the urgency of the situation, they did not conduct multiple experiments, which led to the current predicament.

As for the animals that have mutated into ferocious beasts, I'm not sure if they'll be useful, but it's worth a try; there might be unexpected gains. In any case, it shouldn't be worse than the current situation.

After all, the antidote he created was based on a variant of the D02 virus.

Okay, I'll try it once the antidote arrives.

Liang He had great faith in Pharmacist Qiu's abilities; if he could successfully detoxify, then Xuan Jiao would also be saved.

Now she finally understood why Xuan Jiao's condition was improving day by day; it was all by accident.

"Yes, I'm very interested in the ferocious beast virus and the animals that have mutated into ferocious beasts this time. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to send some over for me to study?"

Liang He had previously mentioned the ferocious beast virus in the group chat, hoping to ask for help in its research.

At the time, Pharmacist Qiu was in seclusion researching other experiments and was unaware of the existence of the D02 virus, so he did not pursue the matter further.

Now that he knows about it and has begun to participate in the development of the antidote, he naturally hopes to conduct in-depth research on the ferocious beast virus.

Moreover, the D02 virus represents something they've been closely monitoring. [Okay, I'll apply to District Chief Huo.]

Pharmacist Qiu was willing to help research the ferocious beast virus, and Liang He was happy to see it happen; of course, she wouldn't refuse his request.

Little Lianghe, don't forget me, I want one too!

Hello Poison and Pharmacist Qiu have always enjoyed fighting in the arena, and naturally, he wouldn't miss out on something as interesting and challenging as this.

Liang He readily agreed, and just then, hearing the concerned voice from outside the door, she quickly ended the video call.

"Xiao He, are you alright?"

After hearing about what happened at the Sixth Service Area, Yin Ling sent Yin Lie with a group of divine messengers to help.

Because she couldn't find Liang He in the medical room, she was a little worried. After asking Xu Yi, she found out that Liang He had been in the bathroom for almost half an hour before knocking on the door.

"I am fine."

Liang He smiled at Yin Ling. The antidote from Pharmacist Qiu was on its way. She also learned about the existence of the D02 virus, so at least she wouldn't be like a headless fly wandering around aimlessly like before.

She and Yinling walked towards the medical room and ran into Xu Yi.

"How's it going at the sixth service area?"

"Following the methods you taught me before, we dealt with most of the ferocious beasts. Some of them were still mutating, so we locked them up."

Realizing the time difference in administering the antidote, Huo An acted decisively, locking up the animals that had not yet fully mutated into ferocious beasts, and finally brought the situation under control.

"That's good."

Liang He was so focused on researching the cause of the mutated beasts with Lan Zhuo that she didn't pay attention to the sixth service area.

After learning that the situation was under control, she took the initiative to contact Huo An and told him about her, Hao Du's, and Qiu Yaoshi's conjectures. At the same time, she helped them apply to Huo An for experimental subjects of ferocious beasts.

[Federal regulations stipulate that ferocious beasts must be managed uniformly and imprisoned on the Ferocious Beast Planet; only the Animal Research Institute can apply for experimental subjects.]

Due to the special nature of the ferocious beast, the Federation maintains very strict control over it, and it is strictly forbidden to leave it behind unless it dies on the spot.

Moreover, even in death, the body must be completely burned to leave no hidden dangers.

However, if it's an official intervention from Earth, and the research is legitimate, perhaps leniency can be granted.

Ultimately, official support is still needed; otherwise, the Federation would not feel comfortable allowing private individuals to conduct research on ferocious beasts.

This is one of the reasons why the Animal Research Institute previously proposed that Blue Star send professionals to conduct research there.

Okay, I understand. I'll talk to them and have them apply to the authorities.

Huo An raised an eyebrow slightly at the meaning behind Liang He's words.

Is she absolutely certain that the Blue Star government will stand up for them and negotiate with the federal government?
Huo An was somewhat curious about the identities of Liang He's two friends, Nihao Du and Qiu Yaoshi, and how they could be so confident.

Too much has happened lately, and it all came so suddenly. Don't put all the pressure on yourself.

Huo An, who was in the sixth service area, still paid close attention to Liang He and knew that she was very concerned about Xuan Jiao's poisoning.

With Yin Qi added to the mix, Huo An is worried that she won't be able to handle it.

"I understand, Brother Huo, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and them."

Even for the sake of the furry creatures, Liang He would not allow herself to fall.

"Roar!"

Just as Liang He was about to hang up the video call to check on the furry creatures, she suddenly heard a shout coming from the activity room and rushed over.
