Xie Lei was a Hepatitis B carrier!
When he first learned that he carried this pathogen, he was terrified!
Afraid of social interaction!
Afraid of spreading it to others!
But later he understood that Hepatitis B virus was transmitted only through blood, mother-to-child, and sexual contact!
Beyond that, even sharing meals or spitting in each other's faces would not affect the other's health!
And among these three transmission routes, sex was not 100% contagious!
Infants could also be prevented from being infected while in their mother's womb!
Only blood was 100% contagious!
Let alone Chen Nan absorbing a drop of his blood, even sharing needles would infect one with the Hepatitis B virus!
Chen Nan said, "What are you so surprised about? Sit down and eat quickly!"
Xie Lei wept, "Even if you couldn't find a live specimen, you could have told me!"
"My life is cheap, and even if I die, it'll be a contribution to the country!"
"Why do you have to be a live specimen?"
"If something unexpected happened, would you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?"
He was just simple-hearted, not stupid!
He guessed Chen Nan's intention!
Chen Nan wanted to be a live specimen, to replace the rhesus monkeys!
Chen Nan put on a stern face, "Sit down!"
Xie Lei wiped the tears from his face and sat down on the stool reluctantly!
He felt very guilty!
If he had known Chen Nan wanted to be infected with Hepatitis B, he would never have come to see him!
Chen Nan ate the grilled meat and said, "Let me correct what you just said. Your life is not cheap. Your life is no less valuable than anyone else's. Don't let me hear you say that again!"
"Otherwise, don't blame Nan Ge for disciplining you on behalf of your father!"
"Secondly, you know my strength!"
"Even if something unexpected happened in the live experiment, I would still have the ability to protect myself!"
"As for you being a live specimen, don't even think about it!"
"I promised your father that I would give you and your sister the Hepatitis B special medicine as soon as it was developed. How could I let you be a live specimen?"
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, eat!"
Xie Lei ate the barbecue, holding back his tears!
He told himself in his heart that no matter what, he had to be like Nan Ge, striving to be a person useful to the country and society!
------
It was already past midnight when he returned to the dormitory!
Sun Er was not there. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be out having fun with his girlfriend!
That was fine, it was peaceful to be alone!
Chen Nan sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation!
He used his mental power to feel the changes in his body!
He could clearly feel millions, even hundreds of millions, of Hepatitis B viruses in his body!
These Hepatitis B viruses were quietly flowing in his blood!
Even as a cultivator, he couldn't kill these Hepatitis B viruses!
Of course, these Hepatitis B viruses had not caused any harm to his body!
After all, Hepatitis B viruses affect liver function!
This was a very long process!
The next day!
After breakfast!
Chen Nan strolled alone to Li Muya's laboratory!
Everyone was already there, anxiously awaiting Chen Nan's arrival!
Because he had said that he would bring a live specimen this morning!
Seeing Chen Nan appear alone, Li Muya frowned, "Didn't you say you would bring a live specimen this morning? Where is the live specimen?"
Chen Nan smiled and shrugged, "It's me!"
Li Muya looked confused, "What do you mean?"
The others were also puzzled!
They had no idea what Chen Nan meant!
Chen Nan picked up a Hepatitis B test kit, dripped a drop of blood on it, and said nonchalantly, "I was infected with Hepatitis B last night!"
A simple sentence, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's ears!
"Are you crazy?" Ye Wanzhi's eyes were filled with tears!
Li Muya's face turned pale, "Chen Nan, you shouldn't have been so impulsive. You are being very irresponsible to yourself!"
The others also chimed in, "Yes, it's okay if we don't have a live specimen. We can just explain to the public that there was an accident! Why did you do this?"
"Are you saying you can replace the rhesus monkeys by getting infected with Hepatitis B?"
"Impossible, even if you are infected with Hepatitis B, you cannot be a live specimen!"
"According to the regulations of the medical community, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to be a live specimen!"
They all admired Chen Nan's fearless spirit of sacrifice!
But!
They would never let Chen Nan become a live specimen!
Because no one knew what accidents might occur during the experiment!
They would never stand by and watch Chen Nan put himself in danger!
"Why are you all so hesitant!" Chen Nan shook his head helplessly, "Although there are international regulations prohibiting human experimentation on living people."
"But in the absence of live experimental subjects, shouldn't this regulation be broken?"
"Is one person's life more important, or the lives of countless people more important?"
"Countless ancestors were willing to shed blood and sacrifice their lives, can't we have some spirit of sacrifice?"
"Alright, everyone go back to your work!" With that, he strode to the refrigerator, took out the vaccine that had already been developed, entered the live experiment laboratory, and locked the door from the inside!
Li Muya and the others were anxious!
They wanted to open the laboratory door, but the laboratory was made of thickened bulletproof glass. Let alone them, even an armored vehicle might not be able to break it open!
Chen Nan took out a syringe and drew a needle full of blood!
"Chen Nan, open the door, open the door! If you die, we can at least collect your body! What will we do if something happens to you like this?" Ye Wanzhi knelt before the door and wept!
The others were also completely panicked!
At this point, all they could do was watch Chen Nan inject the vaccine into himself!
There was nothing else they could do!
Li Muya's face was solemn. She said, "Chen Nan, no matter the outcome, your character is worthy of the world's admiration!"
"Please accept our bow!"
Saying that, she bowed deeply to Chen Nan!
The others also bowed to Chen Nan to show their respect!
No matter the outcome, Chen Nan's actions were worthy of people's admiration and learning!
It was also fortunate that this nation never lacked people like him who sacrificed for others!
It was they who led this country to prosperity and strength!
Seeing this, Chen Nan quickly said, "One bow is enough. Don't do three bows. Three bows are for the deceased!"
This remark was not funny at all!
It even felt a bit awkward!
Ye Wanzhi asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"
Chen Nan clutched his stomach and said, "My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable!"
"What symptoms? Can you describe them in more detail?" Everyone else panicked, fearing that Chen Nan might have any mishap!
Chen Nan said awkwardly, "Maybe I ate too many leek pancakes, my stomach is a bit burnt!"
"Chen Nan, that's enough!" Li Muya was furious, "At a time like this, you're still in the mood to joke? Don't you know everyone is very concerned about you?"
Chen Nan was about to speak when his face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground. His body began to convulse, and his eyes rolled back.
This sudden turn of events threw everyone into a panic!
Any vaccine had side effects!
But no one expected that the vaccine Chen Nan injected would have such strong side effects!
