Seeing that Dominic had finally turned to look at him, Austin was delighted. "Uncle Dom, don't waste your time! These medical books are a thousand years old. No matter how good they were in the past, they can’t keep up with an ever-changing society.
“Besides, these viruses were developed abroad. They’re new and mutable. There’s no way these ancient books know how to tackle them." He felt that what Dominic was doing was pointless.
Although Austin had studied traditional medicine, he knew that no matter how good it was, it was only invented to cure everyday illnesses. This newly developed virus was something no one had seen before. When he was injected with it, the virus could even manipulate his pulse. Traditional medicine could never compete with technology from abroad.
"Who told you that?!" Dominic shot Austin a glare. "What have you learned from me these past few years?! Dogsh*t!"
Austin immediately fell quiet.
"No matter how advanced modern medicine is, it's also based on the wisdom they've accumulated throughout the years. No matter how much it evolves, the core remains the same.
“The plague in the past was worse than this, but humankind still conquered it. Since this virus is man-made, men must also eradicate it!" Dominic explained. Then he shut his book and tapped Austin’s head. "Don't move!"
After being reprimanded, Austin had no choice but to lie down obediently, not daring to move anymore. However, he still mumbled, "Yes, but that was a long process. How many people died, and how many years have passed before they finally stopped the plague?
“Also, this group of people is researching more than one type of virus. It’ll take forever for people to…" He did not continue his sentence.
‘The only way to overcome this is to get a hold of the detailed process and data of the virus' development. That way, scientists can develop an antidote to target the man-made virus.
‘But how is that possible?! Even escaping from that place was harder than leaving the devil's lair. I got lucky. We have no idea where the organization's base is and how many secrets they’re hiding.’
