Xiaocao had already spoken when Lin Yao flew up to the second floor. She also ignored the soldiers and local staff who were shocked and whose eyes had popped out of their sockets on the ground behind her. This was no longer the time to disguise their identities and conceal their abilities. Since boarding the helicopter, she and Lin Yao had no intention of hiding their skills anymore.
Besides, given their current strength, do they really need to hide their abilities and live a low-key life?
"Mmm." Lin Yao responded with a nasal sound, still rushing quickly towards the conference room. Xiao Cao had already scouted the entire CDC building, so there was no need for Yi Zuojun to give directions.
"To be precise, fifteen minutes is the limit for this virus to survive outside the human body, even when cultured in blood plasma and in an incubator. This is why the expert team has been unable to obtain further research results, because they simply cannot isolate and culture the virus from the human body and then study how to kill it. They can only conduct live human drug trials, for which 232 people have died. This virus can actually proliferate explosively under the influence of drugs that alter the internal conditions of the human body."
Xiao Cao's words made Lin Yao pause slightly, and then he quickly took his place in front of the two operating tables that Yi Zuojun had already arranged. Two critically ill patients, a man and a woman, were already lying on the tables. Both were middle-aged and their physical condition and illness were just right for Lin Yao's **experiment requirements.
Having experienced the emergency response to the epidemic in Yanji City, Yi Zuojun's vision and abilities have improved significantly. Afterwards, he also conducted extensive research on various Chinese and Western medicines, reagents, and other related chemical products. The chairs in the entire conference room were clean and tidy, and what remained were rows of neatly arranged shelves, with a passageway in the middle reserved for a mobile hospital bed to serve as an operating table.
The shelves were filled with numbered trays containing various quantities of medicinal herbs and medicines, indicating that the preliminary preparations had been quite thorough.
The thin sheet was lifted, revealing two completely naked patients. Yi Zuojun had even considered such small details, saving Lin Yao the time of ruining and tidying up, although this time was now almost negligible for Lin Yao.
"Honeysuckle, Isatis root..."
Lin Yao casually recited the names of various medicinal herbs in a calm and unhurried voice. Once he was in the zone, there was no need to rush. At this moment, he realized that his state of mind was not peaceful and did not match his current level. Although Xiao Cao did not remind him, Lin Yao had already sensed the change in Xiao Cao's tone.
Yi Zuojun then rushed into the conference room and flitted between the shelves like a butterfly. He then placed the medicinal herbs named by Lin Yao onto a one-meter-high stainless steel tray in front of the operating table. The quantity was exactly what Lin Yao wanted, based on Yanji's experience.
On the ground in front of the building, the Party Secretary of Huizhou City was angrily staring at the spot on the second floor where Lin Yao was no longer standing. The look of surprise had disappeared, leaving only the habitual arrogance of someone in a position of power.
"How could Lin Yao be like this?! He's utterly reckless and doesn't know what's important! We must make him obey the command's orders no matter what!"
The secretary's anger stemmed from being ignored by Lin Yao. When had it ever been the turn of an ordinary citizen to disregard his authority?
Although the overall commander of the epidemic in Huizhou was not the top official in his region, he still believed he had influence. He learned about Lin Yao's background from Luo Jizhen, the mayor of Huizhou. Although he addressed Lin Yao as General, the phone instructions and faxes from above showed that Lin Yao did not have any local title. Even the title of general was unfamiliar to him from people in the military system.
He's on Huizhou's territory; how can we allow him to disobey orders? We can't let this young man ruin our valuable political capital!
The secretary thought to himself, "Even if you're a martial arts master who can move swiftly and skillfully, you still have to listen to me on my small plot of land! What master in the world doesn't serve the government? Here, I am the highest representative of the government!"
...
"Dika, call my mom and dad."
Lin Yao stopped his work, ignoring Xiao Cao's efforts to help the patient remove the surgical scars, and directly pulled up the thin blanket on the ground to cover the patient, letting out a big sigh of relief.
This was the twelfth patient. Lin Yao and Xiao Cao quickly completed the drug test within an hour. This was thanks to the thorough preparations made by Yi Zuojun, the ample and orderly supply of medicinal materials, and the simultaneous disembowelment of the two patients. With Lin Yao and Xiao Cao in excellent condition, an emergency response plan was found within an hour.
Dika had already changed the SIM card in his phone. Regardless of whether the area was being monitored, changing numbers was still a necessary habit and a way of showing one's attitude to others.
Dika dialed the new number Lin Yao had given her that morning, and handed it back to Lin Yao after hearing the connection tone. Throughout the entire process, Dika remained quiet and gentle, just like the Miao girl she had just met in the Daika Valley.
"Yes, Mom? Mom, listen up. Immediately stop selling 'Antiviral Powder' everywhere. There's a new formula that can effectively delay the onset of illness and infection. Dilute the 'Antiviral Powder' 100 times and combine it with the 'Cold Capsules' we used to produce. It can have the same preventative effect. People infected with the virus won't get sick immediately; it can delay the illness by at least four or five days. I'll give you the formula for the new medicine right now. Have Dad get it according to my instructions and prepare the herbs according to the formula. I can start production when I get back."
Lin Yao's long speech pleased Yi Zuojun and Dika, who were standing nearby. Yi Zuojun was happy that the epidemic was being resolved because the temporary measures and the final solution had been obtained over the phone, and that many people would not die in the future.
Dika was genuinely happy for Lin Yao. Of course, it was a good thing that fewer people died. However, after becoming the clan leader, she didn't care so much about the life and death of outsiders. She was only happy that Lin Yao had fulfilled his wish, and there was no other reason.
"Yao'er, you've developed a new drug? I'll have your dad and Uncle Wen arrange the pre-production preparations immediately. If production can't keep up, we can also have other pharmaceutical companies manufacture it for us."
Lin Hongmei immediately expressed her joy, but in her happiness, she also thought about the production capacity. Although the media was strictly censored, with the Yi family and her own security team as her channels, she already knew that this epidemic was unprecedentedly serious and that the entire nation of over a billion people should be taken into consideration. Minhong's current production capacity was simply not enough to handle such a daunting task, even if the third phase of the factory expansion had been successfully completed.

"Mom, you guys decide what to do," Lin Yao sighed. "But the products that are manufactured can only be sold by our family. We, Minhong, still need to continue. This matter was too rushed, but we still need to establish this brand and make the most of this opportunity to build Minhong's brand and principles."
"It's the same microbial cultivation for pharmaceuticals, but the cycle can be shortened to a day and a half. However, it still requires the pills I refine to work together and then mix them together to produce the medicinal effect. Just like the time in Yanji, this time the pills can be added to the medicine without losing their effectiveness, so there's no need to bring the pills to the local area to mix and prepare the medicine."
Lin Yao's explanation left Lin Hongmei speechless on the other end of the phone, but she had no choice but to accept it.
It was already fortunate enough that a solution could be found in such a short time. Asking Lin Yao to come up with a traditional production method would be asking too much. Lin Hongmei didn't think about it, but she hesitated a bit about sticking to the principle of Minhong under the emergency epidemic. Besides, the external environment was not good either, as evidenced by the fact that the previously shipped medicines had disappeared.
Seeing that his mother, Lin Hongmei, hadn't said anything, Lin Yao continued, "Mom, I think we can manage without outsourcing. We already have more than 700 culture tanks. Most pharmaceutical factories only have one or two tanks at most. Outsourcing doesn't make much sense. It's more practical to manage production and increase capacity."
"In addition, our family's stockpile of 'anti-toxic beverages' diluted 100 times is more than enough to supply everyone in the country. Even if we wait a few days for the specialized drugs to be produced, it will be enough to continue to slow the progression of the disease and at least ensure that they do not die from the worsening of their condition. Minhong can produce it in time."
Lin Hongmei finally spoke, her tone somewhat somber: "Yao'er, similar flu symptoms have now been discovered in Chengdu. Non-member patients can only rely on excessive doses of antibiotics, and the effect is still very poor. There have even been cases of adverse reactions due to antibiotic side effects. Our membership system is not yet perfect, and many people don't take it seriously, but they are not the type of patients we should turn our backs on..."
"Mom," Lin Yao interrupted before his mother, Lin Hongmei, could finish speaking, "then let's sell non-members, except those on the blacklist, at 100 times the price. That will help us pay off our loans. Membership applications will continue as normal. This will make everyone take our membership seriously. It can save our lives in a critical moment. I don't think anyone will ignore our membership anymore."
Lin Yao's outrageous demand for a non-member price surprised Lin Hongmei on the other end of the phone. She couldn't find any words to refute him; members were supposed to enjoy privileges and discounts, so a price increase was perfectly normal.
As for the Price Bureau, as long as the threat of "Morning Mist" remains, the sales price of monopolized products will never be controlled by them, and there will be no obstacle for Minhong to apply for price approval.
If you don't approve it, then forget it!
This is Lin Yao's idea, and it's also a consequence that the price control department can never afford.
Now, Lin Yao has enough confidence to be assertive. He no longer needs to be timid and watch people's faces. If he still has to argue with people and beg for help over trivial matters like before, he might as well close Minhong down as soon as possible!
