Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1021: Unlucky Chain



Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Unlucky Chain

"Dr. Bai, you look so young. If you’re an intern, then that makes sense. Ruiyin Hospital is a big hospital, but which discipline did you study since you’re so young?" Director Xu extended his arm for the nurse beside him to draw blood.

Bai Xiao was holding a cotton swab on the wound where the blood had been drawn.

"I studied the integration of Eastern and Western medicine."

She sat down on the bed next to him.

The isolation room had a row of four single beds.

It can be called an isolation room now, but in a few days, when there are more patients, isolation will have to be combined with the severe case or mild case zones.

"Integration of Eastern and Western medicine? Modu’s Medical College actually has such a department now?"

Director Xu was from Internal Medicine.

This was the first time he’d heard of the theory of integrating Eastern and Western medicine.

"I’m skilled in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, in addition to Surgery. Ruiyin Hospital, including the Medical University I’m from, is now focused on developing an integrated medical approach. I’m considered an experimental innovation."

Bai Xiao removed the cotton ball, seeing that the bleeding had finally stopped.

She silently circulated her special ability throughout her body.

Her face finally changed color.

Indeed, truth can be stranger than fiction, as her body now contained the virus.

Although the quantity was less than when she had checked herself this morning, it showed that she was already infected.

Without an antibody, her special ability couldn’t function; it seemed like a major issue would arise, and she was going to dedicate herself to the cause of medicine.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the remaining members of the expert team, with heavy expressions, informed the two of them that they had all been isolated.

Bai Xiao was placed in the tent for mildly infected patients.

Director Xu was isolated on the male patients’ side.

When Bai Xiao entered the tent, there were no actual mildly infected patients but two.

During the examination this morning, there were twelve severely ill patients and only eight mild ones, but by evening, only four mild patients were left; the remaining four had been transferred to the critical zone for severe patients.

Bai Xiao felt a heavy weight in her heart, proving that the infection rate of the virus was accelerating.

The women from four villages had long been terrified, seeing the doctor who treated them this morning suddenly infected.

That kind of emotion was indescribably heavy.

Even the doctors with protective measures and numerous medical interventions couldn’t save themselves.

As for these ordinary people who understood nothing, it was even more hopeless.

No one spoke to Bai Xiao.

Except for the faint sound of occasional weeping, the tent was silent.

Bai Xiao lay on the bed near the entrance, right next to the tent, with a window that allowed a view outside.

The night sky was really beautiful.

The air quality in this mountainous area was exceptional, free of the smog worries of future cities.

Especially as this village was on a hillside, this vantage point of the starry sky, dotted with stars and the brilliant night sky, unexpectedly brightened her mood.

She lay there, closing her eyes, and slowly began to use her special ability, wandering through her body.

Round and round.

Her special ability wrapped tightly around the viruses.

They repelled yet attracted each other, as her special ability, like a curious child, wanted to expel the mischievous virus yet paradoxically wanted to play with it.

Beads of sweat appeared on Bai Xiao’s forehead, and her face began to pale, her body trembling.

She was very aware that this was the manifestation of her special ability reaching its limit.

There was still no way to deal with these viruses.

She covered herself with the thin blanket from head to toe, quietly lying there to rest.

Since she was powerless, she couldn’t let her body be pushed to its limit every time; otherwise, she might not even have the strength to resist the virus.

She could feel that her special ability wasn’t idle but seemed to continuously combat something, as if some force was causing her special ability and the virus to gradually assimilate.

Now, whether it was good or bad was unknown, and she could only hope for tomorrow, but she must rest well and regain her strength now.

No one knew what would happen the next day after nightfall.

Bai Xiao slept soundly, so deep that she didn’t realize, in her dreams, she was muttering softly to herself.

"Humanity will never comprehend true power!"

"The Guardian will uphold justice on behalf of the heavens!"

In her dream, she once again sank into the depths of water, the water covering her head, with white foam indicating she had sunk below the surface.

Gradually she became despairing, her vision blurred, unable to see a glimmer of light or hope through the deep lake water, her lungs painfully gasping for air.

She knew inhaling would mean death, but still fought the urge—she had to fight.

The lethal water poured into her mouth, through her nostrils, rushing into her throat, scorching her throat.

The darkness spread, obscuring her vision, and she knew she was losing. Her final thought in life was an innately desperate but faint cry: "Why?"

Given rebirth, why should she die like this again.

In such a critical moment, why was her special ability reclaimed, what was the meaning of this?

Mocking a pitiful person, letting her experience the shift from joy to sorrow?

Suddenly, the water seemed like it was boiling, the whole surface roiling, tossing her with the waves, as the massive force struck her ribs, making it difficult to breathe. Finally, a powerful desire to survive made her see the light of dawn, and she reached out to grasp it.

Then she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her toe, and someone was exclaiming loudly.

In her shock, a colleague rushed in, with a large gloved hand yanking a snake off her leg.

The vicious triangular head revealed cold sharp teeth, still stained with blood.

Bai Xiao sat up and saw the four fang marks on her calf, the punctures already darkening.

Everything went black as she fell off the bed and collapsed to the ground.

She heard a cacophony of sounds, as if many people were revolving around her.

In her blurred vision, there were twinkling stars.

She finally lost consciousness, falling completely into darkness.

All the members of the expert team were administering emergency snake venom serum to her; everyone felt pity for this girl who came to the countryside to provide medical aid. It was unfortunate enough to encounter a highly contagious epidemic in just three days, and be bitten by a ten-month-old child infected with the virus.

Being isolated, she still encountered a viper wandering at night and got bitten.

Now it was poison added to poison; it was uncertain if poison could counter poison.

All they could do now was do their best and leave the rest to fate. noveldrama

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, hoping she could make it through!
