Chapter 716: "Searching For The Cure"

Chapter 716: “Searching For The Cure”

That night, the surviving Sloan Family members immediately did self-quarantine in rooms that Ainsley’s people had sorted out. 

The others who weren’t gravely injured or exhausted went to the surrounding forests and, using the family app, they could see the distance between each member. 

This way, they wouldn’t be too close or too far from the scattered members. 

The night was long. Ainsley was too tired after not sleeping properly for two days, so she went to sleep. Anyway, the symptoms would only appear after 24 hours…

Let’s say, it would be around ten o’clock tomorrow night, right? 

The tournament still continued, and it should be the last day. 

But since the Naran Family was nowhere to be seen, as long as the flag was still intact and not stolen away, the Sloan Family would have an easy win in 24 hours. 

Ainsley was extremely anxious about her people and the virus thingy, but she also had to do a self-quarantine and thus, couldn’t go out of her bedroom. 

For a day, no one ate food from the mansion’s kitchen, afraid that the virus would spread through food and water. 

At the same time, after a simple breakfast that she got from the emergency food storage, Ainsley decided to tell the other members about the virus. 

She used the family app to give an urgent announcement. 

[Emergency! There’s a special virus quietly spreading around the mansion. There are already 100+ people suspected to be infected. Here are the details of the virus and the protocols to face it.] 

Ainsley attached the link of an article that her media division created overnight, explaining the virus’s characteristics, how it spread, the symptoms, incubation period, the effect, and so on. 

Ainsley also didn’t forget to send the protocols, forbidding anyone to move away from their assigned rooms or spot in the forest. 

So far, those who were suspected to be infected had all been gathered at the emergency building, and there were really around 100+ people. 

Let’s say fifty of them were already infected because they’re the source of infection. 

The rest of the members at the emergency building should be infected after coming into contact with the infection source or because they’re too unlucky to be grouped with the start of infection. 

Ainsley was also sad to implicate these members who might not be the source of the infection. 

But because they lost consciousness exactly around when the virus carriers made a move, Ainsley had to be cautious. 

She preferred ‘sacrificing’ these people, letting no source of infections go out of the quarantine rather than letting a fish slip out of the net and implicate the others. 

Not to mention that she didn’t think of letting these suspects die without a cure. 

The moment Ainsley woke up at 7 a.m., she immediately had breakfast, created the virus emergency announcement, and then discussed things with Cellino, the Godfather, and Zev. 

Oh, the five young spirits were also there to give more ideas. 

[So…does anyone know how to cure this ‘Energy Core Destroyer’ virus?] 

Ainsley asked hesitantly, and she even purposely looked at the Godfather, who should have the most knowledge among them. 

Or maybe Zev, since he’s a system’s spirit…

The Godfather looked at Ainsley and sighed quietly. He had only recovered half of his memories about Ainsley, but it still made him feel some affection toward the baby. 

For him, she’s his disciple…and seeing his disciple getting so stressed over a virus created by those bastards, he also didn’t feel comfortable. 

[ECD virus…it doesn’t exist in this Lord’s era. It should be a newly-developed virus, maybe two or three years ago. Still pretty new, and if the virus is popular, there should be a cure already.] 

Since this world had magic and fantasy element, curing someone infected with a strange virus wasn’t that abnormal or difficult, unlike in Ainsley’s previous world. 

However, to find the materials needed to create the cure or find an Ability User who could cure the infected…these are the difficult things to do. 

[Unfortunately, this ECD virus doesn’t seem to be that well-known.] 

The Godfather rubbed his chin as he started his hypothesis. 

[After all, if the epidemic caused by this virus has significant impacts on many territories, the government and the mafia council should have researched the cure a long time ago.] 

But as far as the Godfather knew, he hadn’t heard of this ECD virus, so it means the virus wasn’t well-known. 

Either because the use of the virus was secretive, or the organisation rarely sold the virus to be used in war. 

But the Godfather somehow believed that the ECD virus should cause many cases. 

Maybe…the case was buried, and the media never caught a glimpse of the trouble. 

After all, the family that faced the ECD virus might have stopped the spreading but didn’t produce the cure, sacrificing many of the infected. 

[Let’s find news about the ECD virus case and analyse the cases. We can know more about the virus from the cases.] 

At the Godfather’s words, Ainsley asked her people to dig out information and news about the ECD virus. 

After searching for an hour or so, indeed, the team found out that there had been many cases where the ability users’ cores just exploded throughout the country. 

But it was masked by hypotheses such as unstable energy due to emotional traumas, accidents in war, and so on. 

None of the news referred to the ECD virus. 

If Ainsley didn’t know about this virus from Paul, she might have never guessed how her people died a gruesome death! 

Ainsley became sceptical of the articles she found. 

How come no one mentioned a virus? Did someone suppress the news, or..?
