Chapter 642 Purgatory on Earth
"Hands and head pain?"
Yun Ning and Gu Sili's expressions changed instantly, and they asked in unison, "So how are you feeling now?"
An'an scratched her head again, looked up at her face, and her expression returned to normal: "It doesn't hurt anymore. Mommy, I'm hungry, I want to eat something."
The little boy's expression was perfectly normal.
It was as if the pain I felt just moments ago was merely an illusion.
He Yiqing quickly pushed another dessert over, coaxing softly, "Okay, okay, An'an can eat whatever she wants, Auntie..."
"and many more."
Yun Yi suddenly spoke up to stop him.
He thought for a moment, then his expression turned serious.
Yun Ning sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"
Yun Yi put down his chopsticks, his gaze sharp as he looked at Yun Ning and Gu Sili, his tone unusually grave: "Perhaps I'm worrying unnecessarily, or perhaps I'm overthinking things. But I suggest—you and your husband take the child to the hospital now for a comprehensive checkup."
Yunyi's Tianyi Company made its fortune in the field of viruses and microorganisms.
He knew all too well the skin-contact symptoms of various viruses.
They are even more familiar with the underhanded tactics involved.
In order to deal with Gu Sili, Yun Yi himself had secretly used the virus to set up a scheme.
Although the two have now made peace, given Gu Sili's current status, it's hard to guarantee that others won't resort to more covert and despicable methods.
Because of their past experiences, Yun Ning and Gu Sili are both very careful about safety.
But An'an is so young, he's not very vigilant, and something might really happen!
Especially the child's symptoms, the sudden, brief neuropathic pain.
It just sounds wrong.
Yun Ning and Gu Sili exchanged a glance, both seeing the same fear in each other's eyes.
They are not afraid of the open and covert attacks in the business world.
But if the target is a child...
Yun Ning took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart.
She held An'an and sat back down in the chair, scooped up another spoonful of pudding, and said with a smile, "An'an, be good. Let's eat something first. After we finish eating, Mommy and Daddy will take you... out for a while. We'll go to a fun place."
"Okay! Thank you, Mom!"
An'an raised her pretty little face, smiled at Yun Ning, and then took a big gulp and ate the pudding.
However, the warm and harmonious atmosphere that was originally in the private room has been completely destroyed.
Instead, there was a silent, suffocating unease.
Even the warm golden light overhead seemed to be shrouded in shadow at this moment.
……
In the burn ward of the hospital.
The air was filled with the mixed smells of disinfectant and rotting flesh.
The pale moonlight filtered through the gaps in the blinds, casting dappled stripes on the ground like invisible shackles.
It has been some time since Fan Qianqian's uncle and his family were admitted to the hospital.
The three people with severe burns received basic medical treatment.
However, under Fan Qianqian's special "care," his condition worsened.
My aunt's left cheek, exposed outside the bandage, was charred black.
The solidified tissue fluid gives the skin an eerie waxy sheen.
With each tremor, the scab cracked open, oozing murky yellow fluid.
My cousin, who was in the next bed, was in even worse condition; large patches of skin had disappeared from his neck to his collarbone.
The bright red muscle fibers were exposed.
His heavy breathing rose and fell weakly, like a piece of raw meat carelessly discarded.
The eldest uncle on the innermost side had his entire right arm charred and blackened, with his five fingers curled up like chicken claws, and the pale white finger bones were faintly visible.
The three people looked like ghosts who had suffered through eighteen layers of hell, barely clinging to life, their appearance miserable.
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open.
The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground came rhythmically.
The family of three, who were already trembling, began to shake even more violently.
Ignoring their physical pain, they futilely shrank into the corner.
Fan Qianqian wore an expensive custom-made suit, exuding glamour and elegance with every gesture.
Everywhere seemed out of place in this filthy and desperate environment.
She approached the bedside, her beautiful face devoid of any expression, and swept her gaze over the three trembling figures on the bed as if examining trash.
Jiang Mo followed behind Fan Qianqian.
Seeing this horrific scene, I couldn't help but grip the syringe tightly in my hand.
The syringe contained a large amount of black liquid.
Thick and pungent.
In the dim light, it gleamed with an ominous sheen.
Fan Qianqian raised her hand, signaling Jiang Mo to make a move.
Jiang Mo hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "Dr. Fan, the drug I have is only the first generation of the virus. The side effects are extremely strong, causing excruciating pain throughout the body, like being cut into a thousand pieces. If we conduct human trials now, given the current condition of the three of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it. We can wait until the drug is improved before conducting human injection experiments."
Fan Qianqian's red lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes indifferent: "How many times have I told you, use them. From now on, any viral reagents with significant side effects can be tested on them. Isn't there a saying... good people don't live long, but evil people live a thousand years?"
She leaned slightly closer to her cousin, whose pupils were contracted in extreme fear, and spoke softly, yet colder than a blade, "I want to see how long you scourges can live, and how much you can endure!"
Jiang Mo pursed his lips, looking at the three people's miserable state with tears mixed with pus flowing down their faces. In the end, he couldn't bear it and advised, "Dr. Fan, they have already been punished. Burning like this is more painful than death. Shouldn't you stop now?"
"Should we stop now?"
Fan Qianqian suddenly looked up, interrupting him.
The next second, she suddenly turned around and swung her arm.
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of the slap echoed loudly in the ward.
Jiang Mo's face was turned to one side by the slap, and a clear finger mark quickly appeared on his cheek.
"When did it become your business to meddle in my affairs?"
Fan Qianqian's eyes were sinister and terrifying. "Jiang Mo, shut your mouth and do your job! If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to."
Jiang Mo pursed his lips and nodded silently.
Without further hesitation, he stepped forward, lifted a small patch of skin on his uncle's arm that wasn't completely covered by bandages, and forcefully inserted the needle.
The black liquid was slowly injected...
Next up was my cousin.
Finally, there was my aunt, who struggled desperately and sobbed.
A few seconds after the injection, the three men's bodies suddenly stiffened, their eyes bulged out and became bloodshot.
"Ugh... Ah—!"
A piercing, inhuman wail burst forth from beneath the bandages.
My uncle's body bounced wildly on the hospital bed like a fish out of water, making the bed board bang loudly.
The charred arm, in its struggle, actually emitted tiny cracks.
My cousin let out a hissing sound from his throat, his exposed muscles spasmed violently, and his veins bulged, as if countless insects were crawling under his skin.
The eldest aunt curled up like a shrimp, kicking her legs wildly, the binding straps digging deep into her flesh, causing blood to seep out.
The entire ward was as terrifying as a living hell.
Fan Qianqian crossed her arms and coldly observed this extremely painful scene.
Instead of showing any pity, a satisfied and pleased smile slowly spread across his eyes.
The smile grew wider and wider, eventually turning into a light, low chuckle, which sounded particularly eerie amidst the wailing.
Jiang Mo, watching from the side, felt a chill run down his spine.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the ward door, and a bodyguard in black announced in a low voice, "Dr. Fan, Mr. Chen has arrived."
