Chapter 104
Since the advent of antibiotics, with its sweeping power, human medical capabilities have taken a significant leap forward.
Elder Elwin's "Living Antibiotic Treatment" played a decisive role in the treatment of this epidemic.
How significant is the 70% reduction in treatment consumption?
The Cult of the God of Nature and the War God Temple, with their previous healing powers, could cure about 30 to 35 people a day. Together, the two could heal around sixty to seventy people.
On the first day of large-scale admission of patients, 528 people were admitted to the Radiant Cathedral. On the second day, the city guards, accompanied by people, searched the entire city and brought in another 317 people. Among the family members of the cathedral patients, more than 200 people were detected as infected and were immediately taken to the treatment area.
The number of patients exceeded the existing treatment capacity by almost ten times.
Garrett had to categorize them into critically ill and mildly ill patients based on whether they could get out of bed and place them in designated areas. Then, he persuaded the two leaders of the cults to issue strict orders: treatment could only be used for critically ill patients and could only be maintained, not cured. As for the mildly ill patients, they were to rest in bed, be given sugar-salt water, and only allowed to eat liquid food. There was no extra treatment capacity for them!
With these measures, they barely managed to maintain the situation without collapsing. Although none of the admitted patients had recovered so farmost acute dysentery patients took 1 to 2 weeks to recoverat least they managed to keep everyone alive.
On the second day of the appearance of the "Living Antibiotic Treatment," after the priests learned the improved version of the divine art, and after eight hours of sleep, the day the divine art was restored, the light of the treatment swept through the entire critical area!
"Bed 12 recovered!"
"Bed 25 recovered!"
"Bed 39 recovered!"
"Bed 57 recovered!"
Cheers echoed continuously. Pride, joy, excitement. From one person to two, to twenty, to fifty, in the end, all the patients in the critical area got out of bed, rushed towards their families in the mild or isolation area:
"Little Ava, Mom is okay!"
"John, I'm better! I'm better!"
"Mom! My stomach doesn't hurt anymore! Mom! Why are you crying, Mom..."
Garrett stood at the entrance of the critical area, watching the waves of patients leaving, smiling sincerely. Where his gaze reached, mothers hugged their children, wives hugged their husbands, and the elderly embraced the young.
Every face displayed joy. Even in the mild area where patients were not illuminated by the treatment, a glimmer of hope shone on their faces.
The seriously ill had all been cured, and now it was their turn!
"Little Garrett, we owe it to you this time." A hand patted his shoulder heavily. Before Garrett could react, he was patted down, becoming noticeably shorter. He reflexively exclaimed:
"Bishop!"
"Hahaha!" The bald bishop casually lifted him up. "Little Garrett, why are you still as weak as a chick! Look at your teacher, even at this age, I can still arm wrestle with me!"
"I'm a mage! A mage!" Garrett retorted loudly. The bald bishop pushed him forward, and in the next moment, the priests who rushed up, regardless of gender or age, whether they belonged to the Cult of the God of Nature or the War God Temple, lifted Garrett high and threw him upwards:
"We did it! We did it!"
"We won!"
"Little Garrett, you're amazing!"
They couldn't help but cheer and celebrate.
Among the healers standing here, the younger ones were fine, but the older ones, even if they hadn't experienced it themselves, had heard of the arrival of the epidemic.
Nobles could escape, mages could shut themselves off, but they, these healers, for faith and compassion towards the believers, only had this one choice.
They originally thought they had to exert all their efforts, exhaust themselves time and time again;
They originally thought they had to persist for half a month, a month, or even longer;
Originally, they thought they would have to watch ten, a hundred, or even more dying patients pass away...
Who would have thought that after getting through the first day and overcoming the second day, after one dissection, one experiment, the details of the release of the divine art changed, and on the third day, they saw the dawn!
Garrett also wanted to be excited with them. However, at this moment, being thrown up high, watching the ground approach and retreat repeatedly, in panic and dizziness, he couldn't help but scream:
"Ahhhh, let me down! Let me down! Help! Teacher, help!"
Elder Elwin appreciated his disciple's predicament for a while before reaching out to lift Garrett down and disperse the crowd. Watching the priests disperse in pairs, treating the mildly ill patients, the elder smiled and sighed with emotion:
"Little Garrett, thanks to you this time." A hand patted his shoulder heavily. Before Garrett could react, he was patted down, becoming noticeably shorter. He reflexively exclaimed:
"Bishop!"
"Hahaha!" The bald bishop casually lifted him up. "Little Garrett, why are you still as weak as a chick! Look at your teacher, even at this age, I can still arm wrestle with me!"

"If it weren't for
you, I'm afraid we would still be struggling with the epidemic. Your insight into the source of the epidemic and your efforts to find a solution have saved countless lives."
Garrett nodded, feeling a mix of emotions. The battle against the epidemic was not over yet. There was still much work to be done to ensure the complete eradication of the disease.
"Teacher, I need to go inside. There's a lot more to do!"
"What do you plan to do?"
"As I mentioned before, I need to find the source of this epidemic. Only by identifying the source and disrupting the transmission chain can we completely stop the spread of this plague!"
As Garrett answered, he walked forward. His steps became faster, and the commanding voice became more resolute:
"Get water! Collect water from all sources in the city, whether it's rivers, channels, or wells. Mark the locations and bring them here!"
"Wash all the plates and dishes! Clean the glass pieces too! Steam them in the steamer! Boil another pot of meat broth!"
"Get some rabbits too! At least 20 of them!"
"Run! Quickly!"
