Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 359 - It’s actually not a poison.

Chapter 359: Chapter 359 It’s actually not a poison.

With Zhao Xiyan outside, Qi Yue was not worried at all that Longnan County Government would lose control.

Her only concern now was that she might not be able to save people.

Considering the current situation, besides the women from the Hu Residence, no other townspeople had shown signs of full-body rigidity, indicating that the disease was progressive.

And the only certain thing was that at the onset of the disease, there were no symptoms at all; some didn’t even know they had blisters.

Those who had blisters on their face, if they didn’t look in the mirror, wouldn’t know either—it was others who saw them and pointed it out.

According to the women from the Hu Family, these symptoms had been present since the day after Hu Keqing died.

But because the symptoms were on their bodies and were neither painful nor itchy, and since the gate of the residence was tightly guarded, they had not sought medical attention.

If calculated, the period from symptom onset to initial full-body stiffness lasted seven to eight days, and it was still unknown what would happen next.

Everything was unknown—how long was the incubation period? What exactly caused it? Was it a virus or something else? How was it transmitted?

Qi Yue didn’t know any of this.

But she understood the severity of the situation.

Nowadays, the streets were full of people with blisters; it was crucial to develop a truly effective medicine before more people experienced full-body rigidity.

Upon reaching the space, Qi Yue didn’t bother to cook corn for the three White Rhinos; after pacifying them with a basket of fresh corn, she headed straight to the laboratory.

As soon as she entered, the little assistant excitedly came up to report.

“Dear master, I have sorted the received samples and started testing. The results will be out soon!”

Qi Yue, looking at the busy instruments, furrowed her brows and eyed the assistant suspiciously.

“What’s with you? Why do I feel like you are taking pleasure in disaster?”

The little assistant shook its head vigorously.

“Master, this is excitement for high-difficulty research samples—can’t you tell?”

Qi Yue snorted.

“I only know that if I didn’t need you to work right now, I would have already disconnected your charging head.”

Upon hearing this, the little assistant quickly retreated three meters, nervously protecting its back.

“Dear master, please don’t! Didn’t you say you’re clumsy with hands? If you damage my charging head and can’t reconnect it, then I’d be useless!”

Seeing this, Qi Yue hooked her lips in satisfaction.

This robot’s intelligence was too high; sometimes she worried it might cause some trouble.

But seeing how nervous it was over just a charging head, she felt reassured.

Noticing that the machines inputting samples were still at work, Qi Yue decided to have a serious talk with the little assistant.

“Little assistant, I’ve given some thought to what you said last time and think it’s necessary to take you out to see the world. Therefore, I’ve ordered the latest armor coat for you and plan to style you up.”

“Really?” The little assistant began to happily caper around, but quickly deflated.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t know how to install it? How…”

Qi Yue smiled slightly.

“I’ve found an assistant who’s skillful with his hands, and I also understand some mechanical principles; there shouldn’t be any problem fixing it up.”

“Yay, that’s fantastic. Master, you are truly a great master!”

“However, before doing this, I have a requirement. Would you like to hear it?”

“Whatever the master says, I, the little assistant, agree to everything.”

This response caught Qi Yue off guard, but her sense of insecurity resurfaced.

After some thought, she immediately raised a question.

“I want to know, once I let you out, will you become uncontrollable and disobedient?”

The little assistant said decisively, “Master, such a situation will never happen. I am a part of the space, connected to the master’s consciousness. Inside the space, I have a lot of autonomy, but outside, I need to rely entirely on the master’s commands to act!”

“Is that so?” Qi Yue was puzzled; she had not considered this at all.

“If you don’t believe it, Master, you can try it yourself,”

However, Qi Yue was still somewhat skeptical, “What if you take the opportunity to escape during the experiment?”

“….”

This question was something the assistant’s mechanical brain hadn’t considered, and it was momentarily at a loss for words.

Finally, its round eyes swiveled, and it spread its hands.

“There’s still another way, which is to remove my battery before letting me out. Master should know that without the battery, the machine’s emergency power source can only last for three minutes.”

“Alright, that’s what we’ll do when the time comes!”

Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, feeling an extra layer of security.

As a modern person who had seen many movies about artificial intelligence battling humans, she truly felt a sense of apprehension.

But then, she threw out one last question.

“Assistant, let me confirm with you one more time, do you have feelings, and can you form social relationships with others?”

Upon hearing this, the assistant’s mechanical face actually showed a hint of grievance.

“Master, do you really think you’ve been interacting with an emotional machine this whole time?”

Qi Yue rolled her eyes.

“Otherwise, what? I just feel that your level of intelligence is too high, and the person who made you comes from a perverted country…”

She spread her hands like the assistant.

“…It’s hard not to have my doubts. If you were to become emotionally overwhelmed and fall in love with someone and be indiscriminate in your affections, it would be so embarrassing…”

The assistant’s face fell.

“…It’s hard to understand why someone as exceptionally gifted as you, Master, would have such worries… Didn’t you check me when you first used me, Master? I am just a robot with a higher level of intelligence.”

Remembering how she inspected the assistant initially, Qi Yue nodded involuntarily.

“Okay, I believe you.”

Qi Yue was basically confident in the assistant; even if there were problems, she could resolve them easily.

Of course, she hoped that such a skilled worker wouldn’t cause any trouble.

“Beep beep beep…”

An alert sounded; the results for the first batch of samples were in.

Qi Yue immediately put on gloves and arranged for the assistant to start working.

Back in her previous life, in the case of such serious infectious diseases, the country would often require incalculable scientific research power to carry out intensive research, but now she was alone.

No, there was also an assistant, more reliable than a person.

One human and one machine dedicated themselves to the research, and at the height of tension, she heard Zhao Xiyan call her.

Qi Yue, with both hands wishing they could multiply into a thousand like the Goddess of Mercy, had no time to respond, so she didn’t.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiyan didn’t continue to call after that.

After busying herself for several hours, she finally finished analyzing all the blood and unidentified blister samples.

There was no night in the space, the assistant was a tireless entity, and Qi Yue was a workaholic.

She was the kind that thoroughly forgot about relations once engrossed in work.

She had completely forgotten about her arrangement with Zhao Xiyan.

Not until she finished the data comparison and validation, and essentially received a phased result, did time reach the early morning of the next day.

“Master, look at these numerical results; they are so strange, this substance isn’t a toxin.”

Qi Yue had already noticed this outcome and was frowning deeply at the moment.

“Yeah, it turns out it’s not a toxin.”
