The facilities inside the Research Camp were quite high-end.
Expensive Laboratory Equipment and various Electronic Equipment.
According to Kim Jin-woo, he prepared them just in case…
But it was quite serious for that to be the case.
Throughout the place, unidentifiable devices were running with vibrating sounds.
In the midst of it all, Shin In-seon was writing a Report.
Her face was so peaceful that it was hard to believe she had been running around the Medical Battlefield just moments ago.
She was so focused that she didn’t even seem to notice I had entered.
“Aren’t you tired, Ms. Shin In-seon?”
Only after I spoke first did she look up.
“I am tired. But thanks to a few Medical Staff from WHO helping out… I’m catching my breath.”
She was referring to the 3 Medical Staff among the 50 members mentioned in Yamyeong’s Report.
Even they were People who came to help secretly without the Director knowing.
“If you have time to catch your breath, shouldn’t you rest instead of doing research?”
If she trusted WHO, it would be better to get some sleep, even briefly, during her spare time.
“Still, if I want to rest quickly, I have no choice.”
I slowly walked toward the Report she had written.
“May I take a look?”
“Yes.”
After answering, she went back to her analysis.
Just because I was looking at a medical Report didn’t mean I could understand it.
However, it was more about finding items in Golden Township that might be helpful based on her findings.
I slowly turned the pages.
It was an unbelievable amount of content to have been organized in such a short time.
– Has the same structure as previously known viruses.
– Treatment appears possible with antigens from similar viruses. Proceeding with experiments based on said vaccine.
– First experiment… failed.
…
– When running simulations with viruses of the same structure, shows antigen-antibody reaction.
– However, when administering vaccine to actual virus, necrosis repeatedly occurs when approaching the antigen.
– Not an error in antigen-antibody reaction.
– Appears to be a pattern where the virus switches to hostile reaction.
– Confirmed that ‘energy with aggressive properties’ from the virus directly destroys antibodies during vaccine approach process.
– If this attack can be neutralized, treatment should be possible with existing vaccines.
‘A virus that attacks through energy…’
Since it was an abnormal phenomenon related to Dungeon Break, even the virus was bizarre.
‘Well, there are swords with consciousness, so there’s no reason there couldn’t be viruses with mana.’
I closed the report and looked at the sample placed on the microscope.
‘So it means we could solve this if we just neutralize the force that attacks the antibodies.’
“Inseon, would it be alright if I took a look at the virus vaccine administration?”
“Merchant might see something different.”
She stepped aside from her position.
“Would you like some coffee?”
“I’ll take a cup, please.”
While she went to make coffee, I peered into the microscope lens.
Even if I didn’t know medicine, I might be able to help if it was related to dungeons.
At the same time, my eyes turned golden.
It was just a hopeful thought.
With Fire Eyes Golden Clarity, I might be able to see something.
The sample before my eyes was penetrated by golden light, and its structure began to appear clearly.
And—
A very familiar energy caught my sight.
An energy so faint that I couldn’t even detect it.
The energy the virus emitted to prevent the vaccine from approaching was Ghostly Energy.
Meanwhile, she was shuffling over with a coffee cup in hand.
“It reminds me of my researcher days.”
“I found a method.”
“Staring at viruses all day— What?”
“I think we can solve this more easily than expected.”
It must have been an unexpected answer, as the coffee cup slipped from her hands.
Forgetting about the coffee cup, she spoke with her fatigue completely gone from her face.
“Let’s check it right away.”
***
The method was simple.
Suppress the Ghostly Energy the virus emitted while the vaccine worked.
It was a method possible because I had inherited Bi Hyeong-rang’s Ghostly Energy.
“It’s a success…”
Shin In-seon quietly murmured with a trembling voice.
On the culture medium placed before her, the virus lay dead.
“Let’s go in right away.”
At those words, she activated the quarantine barrier.
But we ran into an unexpected obstacle.
“He’s going into a coma!”
With beeping sounds, the medical staff rushed over.
Only after a long commotion were we able to get the patient’s heart beating again.
“…”
There was one thing I hadn’t thought of.
Ghostly energy wasn’t suitable for humans.
I had poured ghostly energy into an already sick patient – how could they endure it?
“… This is serious.”
For the first time, Shin In-seon’s voice lacked strength.
“Let’s go back to the research tent.”
Perhaps because we had found some method of dispelling?
She decided to resume analysis immediately.
But my intuition said otherwise.
‘If we don’t treat them now, it’ll be too late.’
The WHO Hunter Team would eventually succeed in developing a vaccine.
But the patient didn’t have time to wait for that.
“Ms. Shin In-seon, how long would it take to apply the vaccine and for the patient to recover again? Assuming we use up all the supplies we brought.”
Thanks to the rapidly advancing technology, the vaccine’s effects were quite fast.
“The vaccine would take effect in 2 hours, and since Guild Master Jin-woo generously provided potions…”
If we used the abundant potions Jin-woo had provided, we could exponentially increase the patient’s recovery speed, assuming the vaccine worked.
She quickly began calculating in her head.
“About two days should be enough, being generous.”
“You said you wanted to save the patients, right?”
“That’s right.”
At my question, her face began to regain its vitality.
“Let’s save them. Let’s see who breaks first – us or the virus.”
Before I knew it, Galmu had transformed into the Staff of Rest in my hand.
***
“Everyone… has been healed.”
With those words, the medical staff let out the long breaths they had been holding.
The method I used was simple.
Use the Staff of Rest to postpone the patients’ deaths while treating them.
Then, once the virus was eliminated, move them to the room where the Angel of the Lamp operates to rapidly recover their physical condition.
The prerequisites were simple.
Create a barrier with the Staff of Rest and emit ghostly energy for 48 hours.
The ghostly energy couldn’t be interrupted in the middle.
Because the revived virus would completely neutralize the vaccine’s effects.
It seemed like extremely harsh conditions, but for me, it wasn’t that difficult.
I am the Heavenly Demon’s first and only disciple.
Enduring about two days without sleep was no problem at all.
During my training with the Heavenly Demon, I had done sleepless training through extreme endurance training.
Then continuously emitting ghostly energy at the same time?
That wasn’t a problem either.
For a month, to avoid assassination attempts from the Heavenly Demon who had become a killing machine, I had emitted ghostly energy and even created barriers that people couldn’t enter.
However, the problem was Shin In-seon and the local medical staff.
For ordinary people who weren’t even Hunters to conduct medical activities within the barrier of ghostly energy I had deployed was considerable suffering.
Even though I had deliberately weakened the intensity, it was still nothing more than yin energy emitted by something eerily ghostly to humans in the first place.
But in the end, we succeeded.
There were medical staff who collapsed in the middle, but no one gave up.
As a result, we had now progressed to the point where we could receive patients with just one medical tent.
“We can rest now.”
Shin In-seon walked over unsteadily with half her face worn out.
“We’ve reached a stage where the local medical staff alone can handle things sufficiently, so let’s rest a bit now.”
“I was planning to…”
Shin In-seon, who had been walking like a zombie, stopped and turned to look at me.
“Aren’t you going to rest, Vice Guild Master? It seems like you’ve been here continuously even when others came to take shifts.”
“I’m fine. Am I some ordinary person?”
“That’s true.”
As if thinking it was obvious, she nodded her head.
“…Go rest quickly. I’m scared you might get scolded by Hunter Park Ju-yong if you return home like that.”
Shin In-seon and the medical staff’s role was finished.
Since things had been wrapped up to some extent, it was time to move on to the next stage.
‘I should rest a bit and then talk with the WHO Hunter Team.’
Since we had saved people, I was thinking of dealing with the cause of the abnormal phenomenon.
She chuckled softly, and just as she was about to step outside the tent.
Someone roughly threw open the tent and came in.
“What are you doing right now!”
A foreign man with a flushed face, breathing heavily and roughly.
‘I had thought about meeting him, but I never expected to meet him in this kind of situation.’
It was Klaus Heinrich, Director of the WHO Hunter Team.
