On the Ark.

“What else did you think?” Warfarin said. “Your testing is over, at least temporarily. I suggest you don’t leave the island until the results are in. It won’t be long anyway. It’s good for you, and it’s good for us too.”

Frostnova hadn't expected the test to end so simply. She had thought she'd be locked up like a guinea pig, never imagining that the test Rhodes Island had mentioned would be just a routine one. Aside from the doctor seeming somewhat agitated, it was no different from anywhere else.

Of course, other places cannot compare to Rhodes Island in terms of professionalism.

Frostnova silently got up, then glanced at Warfarin, who was already engrossed in her work. Seeing that no one was stopping her, she turned and left. As she reached the door, she heard Warfarin's voice: "Someone warned me many times before you came that I must not hurt you no matter what. Honestly, I don't know if he cares about you too much or if he thinks I'm some kind of mad scientist."

Warfarin's words made Frostnova pause, but she didn't turn around and left the laboratory as if she hadn't heard anything.

Warfarin glanced at Frostnova's retreating figure with a smile, then continued to bury herself in her research.

After leaving the laboratory, Froststar saw Lin Ye waiting for her at the door, but Lin Ye was alone.

"You're out." Lin Ye greeted him.

Froststar asked, "Have you been waiting for me outside?"

“Yes,” Lin Ye said with a smile, “it didn’t take long.”

"You've been watching from outside the whole time?"

"Yes...no." Lin Ye came to his senses and nodded repeatedly. "No, no, no, I was just waiting outside. I didn't look at you while you were doing your full body checkup, and the curtains were drawn just now, so I couldn't see anything. Don't worry..."

Frostnova had only asked casually, not paying much attention to Lin Ye's response, because she didn't know what to say. Unable to leave Rhodes Island for the time being and unsure where to go, Frostnova remained silent for a moment before asking, "Could you take me to see that girl?"

"That girl?" Lin Ye didn't react immediately.

“That seriously ill girl,” Frostnova said.

Eyjafjalla? Lin Ye understood.

"Of course, if it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"Why would it be inconvenient?" Lin Ye shook his head, then smiled and said, "You could very well become her savior, and I don't think this request is unreasonable."

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Shuangxing felt a strange emotion flash through her mind, but she did not show it.

Help...my savior?

Froststar was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Thank you."

……

Lin Ye was also very worried about Eyjafjalla's health. If Frostnova hadn't been there, he would have stayed at the medical department to see if there was anything he could do to help. Now that Frostnova wanted to see Eyjafjalla, Lin Ye naturally agreed. So he led Frostnova to the intensive care unit where Eyjafjalla was, and the two looked at Eyjafjalla, who was on a ventilator, through the glass.

“Her current physical condition is very similar to yours back then.” Lin Ye said softly beside Froststar, “The density of Originium crystals is still increasing, and the Originium crystals on her body surface are also very unstable… Simply put, her condition is very bad.”

Froststar hadn't expected Eyjafjalla in the hospital room to be such a young-looking child; she had assumed she was a female scholar in her thirties or forties.

Such a young child, with such a high level of Originium infection.

Looking at Eyjafjalla lying on the hospital bed, her face pale, Frostnova felt as if she were seeing herself as a child.

"How did she get infected?" Froststar asked softly.

Lin Ye gave a brief account of Eyjafjalla's experiences.

After listening, Frostnova remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Very admirable."

“Yes, she’s very admirable,” Lin Ye said. “That’s why I don’t want to see her leave.”

"Can your medicine really save her?"

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

"What do you say?"

Lin Ye said with a wry smile, "The truth is, even if you come here, the risks are still very high. First of all, we are not sure if Warfarin can find out the reason why you survived the negative reaction of 'L reagent' through your blood sample. Even if they do find it, research and improvement will take time, and Eyjafjalla's time is running out. Nobody knows how much longer she can hold on. If she can't hold on, we will have to use the reagent on her in advance, and in the end, we can only leave it to fate like you."

"Is it fate?" Froststar looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Do you think my survival is fate?"

Lin Ye scratched his head: "Until we find the specific reason, I think this is fate. Otherwise, what about the fourteen patients who died before you?"

Frostnova turned to look at Eyjafjalla in the hospital room again, and then said softly, "But I don't think it was fate, it must be because of you."

"My reason?"

“Because you have the power to awaken people from darkness,” Frostnova said. “So I suggest that when the time comes, it would be best for you to administer the potion to her.”

Hmm... it sounds a bit melodramatic, but Lin Ye still nodded.

“I will,” Lin Ye said. “Besides, your experience has taught us that even if your heart stops beating, you must not give up hope.”

hope?

For Frostnova, this should have been a very distant concept. But now she doesn't feel that way anymore, especially after learning about Eyjafjalla's story. A little girl whose parents both died because of their research, yet she took up their mantle and didn't back down even after contracting Oripathy.

This deeply touched Frostnova, making her realize that her own experiences paled in comparison to Eyjafjalla's. She only wanted those around her to survive, while Eyjafjalla wanted all the infected in the world to live, just like Lin Ye.

As she was thinking this, Frostnova suddenly felt her heart beating much faster.

Because she thought of it.

Could this be the difference between Reunion and Rhodes Island?

One acted for himself, the other for the world.

Frostnova bit her lip tightly, then said softly, "If only I had met you first, instead of Talulah."

Lin Ye didn't hear Froststar's murmur: "What did you say?"

"Nothing?" Frostnova shook her head, then turned and left. "I'm tired and want to rest. Call me when you need to do the check-up..."

As she spoke, she stopped walking, but did not turn around.

"Also, please make sure I see this little girl's final treatment."

"This... shouldn't be a problem, but I'll still have to ask Kal'tsit."

Froststar nodded: "Please."

Please, let me see if hope really exists.

Froststar thought this to herself, then lifted her foot and left.

Chapter 610 Another Liz

Eyjafjalla's final moments came much sooner than Lin Ye had anticipated.

At 3:15 AM on the third day after Frostnova arrived at Rhodes Island, Lin Ye, who was still asleep, was pulled out of bed by Ansel. As he rubbed his eyes groggily, not understanding what was happening, Ansel told him, "Eyjafjalla is dying," and he immediately woke up.

"What's going on?!" Lin Ye asked anxiously. "Didn't you say there were two weeks?"

“That’s the ideal situation.” Ansel shook his head, then threw Lin Ye’s clothes at him. “Right now, it’s obviously the worst-case scenario. Let’s not talk about it anymore. You probably don’t want to stay in the dorm waiting for news, do you?”

"Of course!" Lin Ye quickly put on his clothes. "Of course I'm going!"

Then, the two rushed to the intensive care unit of the medical department. There were already quite a few people outside the ICU, including Frostnova, who had been granted permission by Kal'tsit. Inside the ICU, Heme and Saria were checking on Eyjafjalla's condition. Although Lin Ye didn't know the exact severity of Eyjafjalla's illness, he could tell from her abnormally flushed complexion.

“You’re just like me back then, aren’t you?” Froststar stood beside Lin Ye and said softly, “This is what an infected person looks like when they’re nearing the end.”

His words were filled with loneliness.

Lin Ye pursed his lips tightly, unusually not replying to Shuangxing, because he was not in the mood.

At this moment, his mind was filled with questions about the progress of Warfarin's research, whether the "L-Potion" had been perfected, and whether Eyjafjalla would die a miserable death like the fourteen infected if she used the incomplete "L-Type 1," or survive like Frostnova.

He didn't know, but he couldn't imagine that such a lovely and hardworking girl would leave this world in this way.

At that moment, the door to the intensive care unit opened, and Hermer walked out. When she saw Lin Ye, she took off her mask and then slowly shook her head.

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Ye understood what she meant.

"Potion Y" and "Potion L" are still kept secret from regular operators. Therefore, even Ansel and others in the medical department only know that Eyjafjalla may have received routine treatment with a new drug, but they don't know what that new drug is. In order to prolong Eyjafjalla's lifespan as much as possible, thus buying time for Warfarin's improved "Potion L," Saria and Himeru administered "Potion Y" to her.

However, the "Y-potion," which had successfully reduced the density of Originium crystals in Ifrit's blood, failed to work on Eyjafjalla. Of course, it might have worked, but its effects were far less than the rate at which her condition worsened. Eyjafjalla, who was originally expected to last a week, ultimately reached her limit in less than half a week.

“There’s no way out,” Ansel said in a low voice. “It’s come to this point, even God can’t save us.”

Lin Ye heard what Ansel said.

This is the most accurate conclusion reached by a medical operator who was unaware of the existence of "L reagent".

But they have "L reagent".

If it is "L reagent", even if it has not been improved, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Lin Ye took a deep breath and was about to speak when the door to the medical department was pushed open, and Warfarin and Kal'tsit walked in.

"Make way, make way!" Warfarin yelled. "I'll take over the rest of the treatments!"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up when he saw Warfarin. He was about to ask something when Kal'tsit gave him a look, signaling him to be quiet. Lin Ye held back and waited until Warfarin had put on her protective suit and entered the medical room before he and Kal'tsit went to the corridor outside the medical department.

But once he was sure no one could hear their conversation, Lin Ye hurriedly asked, "Did Warfarin succeed?"

Kal'tsit looked at Lin Ye, then slowly shook her head.

Lin Ye's heart tightened: "It hasn't succeeded yet?"

Kal'tsit shook her head again.

"What...what does this mean?"

Kal'tsit said slowly, "Dr. Warfarin has made some improvements to the 'L reagent' based on Froststar's blood test report, but due to the short timeframe, clinical trials have not yet been conducted."

Lin Ye's cheek twitched slightly: "If there wasn't time to conduct clinical trials, that means..."

“This is a new drug for which there is no data,” Kelsey said. “Warfarin named it ‘L-type II,’ and Eyjafjalla will be the first clinical trial participant.”
