Chapter 1703
Before leaving Haevon, Stealthbane sent over the first set of data.Though it wasn't much, it gave Eric a preliminary understanding of the virus.Its fatality rate was significantly higher than the virus that had appeared in Dortmund City a few years ago.Eric sighed. "This is not looking good."Sylvia sat down beside him. "If worse comes to worst, let's halt our overseas operations temporarily and bring everyone back. After all, our lives are the priority."Could this be an enhanced version of the Dortmund City virus?" Judging by the situation, the Haevon virus seemed to be more severe than the Dortmund virus. It had an extremely high fatality rate and was highly contagious.From Eric's understanding, high fatality and high contagion rates were inherently contradictory for a virus, as they went against the principles of biological evolution.A creature's instinct was survival and the continuation of its genes.For a virus to survive, it needed its host to stay alive. If the

Pierce and Ruth, along with the others, were all dressed in the highest-grade protective suits. Only Eric’s hands were exposed as he needed them for examination. No one else felt comfortable checking on Pierce and Ruth, only Eric.Soon, the car door opened. A person from the Combat Department stepped out of the vehicle carrying a box. After undergoing two rounds of disinfection, he finally met with Pierce and the other two. Handing over the box to the relevant personnel, he said no more, and Eric immediately began his diagnosis.After a considerable time, Eric finally nodded slightly. "No problem!"Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me about Haevon. So many days have passed, and only two people have died there? I find that hard to believe."When the Dortmund virus first began to spread, many people died quickly. How long had it been since the virus appeared in Haevon?Pierce had learned from the news that only two people had died, but he never trusted the other countries'

Pierce wanted to test the virus on himself.The laboratory had been researching for several days but couldn't find an effective cure. Despite this, Pierce still believed in Eric. He thought Eric might have a solution for the virus. If he got infected, Eric could treat him. They needed to find a cure for the infection, after all.However, Eric wasn't the only one opposing this idea. Ruth and others from the Combat Department also objected. After all, Pierce was the one overseeing the whole situation. If something happened to him, who would take charge?"Master, let me do it," Ruth said, glancing at Eric. "If anything goes wrong, Eric can take care of me. You can't afford to be incapacitated. The Combat Department can manage without me but not without you."She had a clear grasp of the situation. Eric had examined her thoroughly many times, probably knowing every mole on her body. If she tested the virus and something went wrong, Eric would know how to handle it."I'll do it," Pierc
Chapter 1706
Pierce trusted Eric's judgment, especially since Eric was an expert in this area. When the renowned Orion was alive, he could accurately predict a patient's remaining time based on their condition. Even though Eric hadn't inherited all of Orion's knowledge, he was still remarkably close.Three days felt too short for Pierce. The medical system simply couldn't react fast enough. By the time they were ready to start treatment, the patient would already be gone. Worse still, the virus was highly contagious."What about the treatment?" Pierce asked again. His primary concern was finding a widespread solution. Ideally, there would be a drug that could be mass-produced.Eric sighed. "There is a method, but it's very difficult. There are probably only 20 or 30 holistic physicians nationwide who could handle it. If the infection spreads widely, this method won't work."Before the virus outbreak in Salt City, there were about 50 such holistic physicians. Unfortunately, over the past few yea

Pierce marveled at the couple's deep bond. With such a strong relationship, what chance did a third party have?After exchanging a few words with Sylvia, Eric went back to his work. He needed to assist the senior experts in compiling relevant data and deriving useful insights from it.Although he often claimed he was idle at home, Sylvia couldn't help but feel concerned when she saw him so busy. After all, Eric was her husband. What wife wouldn't worry about her spouse?As Eric busied himself, Pierce approached and sat across from Sylvia. For a long time, he said nothing.Feeling the weight of his gaze, Sylvia grew uneasy."Big Boss, is there something you need?" she asked, sensing something unusual in his look.Pierce chuckled. "It's nothing much. I just wanted to chat about Eric. I heard that in Salt City, he's been... courting women? One of them being a teacher?"Sylvia felt a bit embarrassed by this. Eric, courting women? It seemed like he might have, but then again, maybe n
Chapter 1708
Pierce was stunned by what he heard!'Sylvia actually has such... resolve?'He had no idea that it wasn't just Eric's family who wanted a son, but Sylvia herself and Eric both desired it too.Who wouldn't want both a son and a daughter? But often, things don't go as planned.Pierce was trying to figure out whether Sylvia was serious about what she said. If it was true, then Ruth might meet the criteria?'I might need to discuss this matter with Ruth. Still, it depends on whether Eric agrees.'However, with Sylvia being so considerate, how could Eric ever agree? He would never betray Sylvia in this lifetime.'Sylvia didn't take Pierce's words to heart. If there were no signs of pregnancy in the next few years, she might persuade Eric to consider that path.She had already thought about potential candidates. Both Lora and Ruth were beautiful and came from respectable backgrounds. More importantly, Eric was very familiar with them, making them ideal choices.However, Sylvia and E

Eric slept for an entire day. When he woke up, he felt completely refreshed. Seeing Sylvia sitting in the room, he was startled."You didn't stay up all night watching me sleep, did you?" he asked."Of course not," Sylvia replied. "I couldn't stay up any longer than you could. When I got sleepy, I slept too. It's already noon outside."Eric hadn't noticed the time. Knowing that Sylvia was by his side, he had fallen asleep quickly. However, he was still concerned about the vaccine. "Did the formula get sent back to the Innova Group? We need to produce the first batch as a backup. The virus is merciless!"Eric knew how severe this virus was. Treating an infection meant racing against death itself. Any delay and death would claim its victim."Don't worry," Sylvia said. "I've already called Andy. They're setting up a production line in the next couple of days. Based on the formula and usage instructions, they'll produce a batch for backup."Big Boss has also sent people to Salt City

"Maybe once they come back, they'll stay here for good and never leave again!"Grace was very perceptive about the situation. If an ordinary person had said this, it wouldn't have carried much weight or credibility. But Grace was at that level, and putting herself in that position, she could understand the benefits of such a maneuverThese individuals spent their best years abroad, but when it came time for retirement, when foreign countries became unsafe or chaotic, they thought of returning home. Even if they had changed their nationality, they'd shamelessly claim, "We're all compatriots; my hometown is right here!""Mom, this isn't something for us to worry about," Eric said. "Even if those who changed their nationality can't come back, those who still hold our nationality, like overseas students and business people, have legitimate reasons to return."The simplest example was Sean. If he were abroad and knew the situation there was dire, he would certainly want to come back, an
