Chapter 1033: Chapter 915: An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
The vehicle carrying the United Government’s emergency medical team sped down and apprehended the two people who were swaggering down the street on the spot.
The stark contrast between the bulky isolation suits and the shorts and T-shirts made the two parties look as if they were from different worlds. As they were escorted onto the vehicle, Lu Xiang stared at Song Lan through her mask several times, wishing there were an isolated and private interrogation room where she could take Song Lan aside and interrogate him thoroughly.
She had long known that Song Lan had a peculiar way of thinking, but she had never expected him to be this outrageous.
With an unprecedented epidemic looming over them, these two walked down the street casually, holding an apple that had been bitten into.
As the team leader put it, this was akin to biting into the virus itself.
"Don’t talk so disgustingly, it’s just an apple, and it’s rather sweet!"
Song Lan protested.
The apple, being a special supply from the merchants’ guild, was seldom seen in the arid area of Oasis, and with the outbreak of the epidemic, it indeed became a rare commodity. The callous words of the medical staff suddenly made the apple in his hand less appealing.
Nothingness, however, was unaffected.
He ate faster, devouring the apple in a few large bites before the floating vehicle landed.
A fruit after meals, followed by a leisurely stroll, was an important health philosophy.
The medical staff ignored his protests. The moment the floating vehicle reached its destination, they rushed to find a place to conduct blood and other tests on the two individuals, not even waiting to meet with the government officials.
They could hardly conceal their excitement.
Immunes!
The casual strollers were akin to a group of humans who were immune to the T-virus that had fully erupted, about which experts predicted that eventually about 10% of people would survive and develop antibodies, no matter how severe the virus was.
However, they had never imagined that on their first night in Oasis, they would encounter such precious immunes.
What was meant to be a journey of death brought hope not only to them but to everyone in Oasis.
At the sight of the test results, the medical team was almost moved to tears.
The test results showed that both individuals were completely healthy, without any signs of infection, and they hadn’t contracted any of the common ailments modern people often suffer from.
Both physically and mentally, it would be difficult to find anyone healthier than these two.
When asked by the medical staff about the secret to their health, the eager citizen Song claimed that it was related to his consistently healthy lifestyle.
Sticking to daily walks after meals, living regularly, not smoking, and drinking only in moderation. He would try to perform relaxation exercises before sleep every night, never allowing stress and fatigue to linger till the next day, and even the Prosthetic Doctor said he was perfectly normal.
Song Lan’s report finally ended up in the hands of Lu Xiang, who examined it more carefully than anyone else.
She knew that the elective medical courses offered by Morning Star Academy would make it feasible to pass the Prosthetic Doctor qualification test before graduation if taken seriously.
After reading every index carefully, she finally confirmed her long-standing suspicion.
Song Lan’s poor physical endurance and frequent complaints of back pain were all feigned.
In reality, his stamina was almost on par with that of amateur athletes.
Of course, Song Lan’s health insights failed to impress the professionals present, who acknowledged that a regular schedule has a positive impact on health, but immunity to infectious diseases definitely involved other unknown factors.
But they were seriously short on time now, with the Oasis officials waiting for them at the venue, and in order to prevent these two from disappearing in the blink of an eye, they took them directly to the venue citing medical reasons.
The fate of everyone in Oasis now rested upon these two people—to get them to cooperate with the medical team’s operations, the team leader flattered them explicitly.
The atmosphere of the venue brought everyone back to reality.
The Executor of Foreign Affairs was absent from this meeting because his daughter had unfortunately contracted the infection, and her symptoms had progressed to a late stage. The grief-stricken father chose to stay at home to spend the last moments with his daughter.
After the team entered the venue, Lu Xiang naturally stayed close to the two men.
"Tell me, what kind of whimsy got into you today?"
She had never expected to meet Song Lan in such a manner.
"I am assisting with your work, didn’t you see? They almost popped champagne when they saw me."
Bringing hope to the people is the duty of Law Enforcers and eager citizens.
The two stared at each other for a long while until Song Lan casually handed Lu Xiang the apple core he had finished, and she reflexively tossed the core into the trash can, as if everything had returned to normal, like at home.
"That’s it?"
"Think about it carefully. What would they do if we hadn’t come? Now the whole city is filled with a high concentration of the virus, they probably would have stayed in the quarantine area under the pretext of waiting for the virus concentration to decrease, waiting until almost everyone outside had died, then symbolically go out to collect samples."
Such efficiency could turn the entire Lira into a dead city.
Lu Xiang fell silent, knowing that what Song Lan said was true. Except for the voluntarily participating team leader, everyone else was forced into this operation. From the beginning, they never aimed to identify the source of the infection, preoccupied instead with how to survive.
