The dozens of people in the lab didn't realize how much time had passed, and they were struggling to figure out what to do next—the creation of a vaccine for the Martian virus.

Later, a large team of 200 people, all of whom had been waiting for alternates, joined the group. Now that the crisis is over, there is no need for a waitlist, so they have joined the development of vaccines.

As soon as the vaccine comes out, human beings can be said to have completely defeated the Martian virus and are no longer afraid of being infected.

However, this point also needs to be assisted by multiple means such as gene sequencing and biological experiments, which requires a lot of time, and there is no one or two months that should not be able to do it.

……

On the Noah, many people stand on the side of the spaceship, staring out the window at the fiery red planet and imagining the non-benevolent place.

Their mood at the moment is apprehensive and impetuous. From the emergence of the Martian virus, to the scientists taking the lead, to the emergence of death cases, they have never been so impetuous.

Because they saw the dawn of victory, they began to be a little impatient.

Since the broadcast was broadcast once, many people have begun to work quietly, and in just a few hours, it seems like a lifetime.

However, since that short message, there have been no reports of Martian viruses...... Occasionally, there is gossip, and the credibility is not high. Everyone is impetuous, and they want to hear about it as soon as possible.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was seven o'clock in the evening, and it was time to broadcast the news.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it's the evening broadcast." In the midst of people's anticipation, a familiar female voice came out.

"Here, the evening broadcast begins!" "Come back, the news is out!" Someone shouted in the Noah.

A female host appeared on the TV screen, she was dressed in a professional suit, her face was happy, and she said at a very fast pace: "It is understood that at 4:30 p.m. today, the first patient infected with the Martian virus has woken up, and the vast majority of patients have begun to improve. Scientists use antiviral serum......"

"Ah!!h

"Victory!"

"We won!"

In an instant, everyone cheered, forming a sea of joy. People have been depressed for too long, as if a person who is about to drown suddenly inhales oxygen, and bursts out en masse.

This is the joy of a long drought and a rainy day...... How difficult it is to defeat the virus, please.

Many know that they are of little use in the fight against the virus and can only work silently in the rear.

Only working silently, praying silently, without panic and riots, is the best support for front-line personnel.

There is even gossip that their captain, Mr. Yu Yifeng, has also joined the war...... Although it is not known whether the news is true or false.

But people are really very aggrieved and depressed in their hearts, and if the virus incident is not resolved, they will be depressed for a day, and the sword of Damocles in their hearts will hang for a day.

But now, the news of the victory has finally arrived, and all the uneasiness can be put down, how can they not be happy, not happy?!

……

I don't know how long it took, Yu Yifeng finally opened his eyes, and he had a splitting headache.

Looking around, there was no one left, only a nurse with him. The various instruments on his body were also dismantled, and he still had a bottle of saline in his hand.

He sat up, feeling very weak and having little strength.

"Mr. Yu, you're awake!" The female nurse on the side exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, beware, you have a lot of blood drawn and need to rest more." ”

"We ......" Yu Yifeng coughed, his voice was still very hoarse.

"Yes, scientists have used your blood to create an antiviral serum, and the effect is very good!" The female nurse seemed to have guessed what Yu Yifeng was going to ask, and answered directly.

"Altogether...... How many people have died? Yu Yifeng nodded, and didn't bother with anything like blood drawing, but asked about the question he was most concerned about......

He was a little flustered, afraid to hear a big number. Looking at the time, I was in a coma for at least three days, and in three days, a lot of things can happen!

Speaking of this, the female nurse's tone darkened significantly: "Altogether...... Twenty-three patients of the Martian virus died. However, now, the disease has been effectively controlled, and some people have even recovered. ”

"Alas, 23 people......" Yu Yifeng rubbed his aching head and sighed deeply, this number is the same as his estimate.

In that dark space, he did see 23 stars dim...... And so the 23 humans went. This also shows that the starry sky he saw is indeed not an illusion, but a reality.

23 people, there are ordinary people, and there are follow-up researchers, just like this, and they just fell under the deep space for the first step...... He felt a little melancholy.

"How's it going?" Yu Yifeng continued to ask.

"About one-third of the patients have woken up under the treatment of antibody serum, and the rest are still in a coma...... But it shouldn't be a big problem. As long as it is determined that the virus is completely gone, you can be discharged. ”

The female nurse seemed to be talking to the captain of the Noah for the first time, and was a little nervous: "Thanks to your antibody serum, they took a lot of blood ......"

Yu Yifeng didn't talk, his mood was a little low, obviously not in a very good mood.

(If I had come forward earlier, they probably wouldn't have died...... As soon as this thought popped up in his heart, he immediately suppressed it.

He can't be blamed for this kind of thing, he really did his best. As soon as he thought of this solution, he stepped forward. He's not the babysitter of humanity, nor is he the patron saint of humanity, and he really can't protect everyone.

The whole of humanity has done its best, and all the responses have been very good, and there is no room for improvement.

Perhaps, such a sacrifice is inevitable in this bleak starry sky. Without their sacrifices, humanity would not have been able to mature and go further.

It is only through this kind of experience that human beings can truly mature. When it comes to landing on the next planet, humanity will inevitably be more cautious.

It's just that...... Death is always an uncomfortable thing.

23 people, equivalent to 5/10,000 of the population, is too much, Yu Yifeng is really heartbroken, but he has no choice but to endure it silently......

Two weeks later, everyone was back healthy.

A huge funeral ceremony began, and Yu Yifeng had to appear in this situation.

The bodies of the 23 warriors were cremated in this way, and then buried deep in the ground in metal boxes.

"Ladies and gentlemen,

Twenty-three of our warriors fell on Mars, some of them were doctors, some were scientists, and some were members of the scientific expedition...... And just like that, they fell forever under the stars for the first stop......"

There were low cries from below, and many were wiping tears from their eyes.

"The cold body had no temperature, and they couldn't hear any words of praise...... Death is the end of life, but their spirit has been passed down forever. ”

"Their courage will always be celebrated by us, and they are the greatest pride of our new humanity...... Let us observe five minutes of silence for them. ”

Yu Yifeng lowered his head and mourned in silence for these dead people.

Everyone lowered their heads, and the entire spaceship was really silent, only a faint cry was muffled.

At first, many people were still happy and excited after learning that humanity had defeated the virus. But now, people are starting to grieve and suffer. These are 23 compatriots, who died like this, and perhaps among them were their relatives and friends, buried in Mars like this, and never came back.

Five minutes later, the machine started, the urn was lowered, and a huge bronze monument was erected on the ground. It is made of the strongest human material, enough to keep it from falling for hundreds of millions of years, and it is engraved with the names of 23 victims.

"Let's always remember their names, they are: John? Claude, Charlie? Weiss, Li Zhixiang......

Brothers and sisters, go all the way. ”

"The deceased is gone, and I hope that the rest of us can live a good life and live happily. At the same time, we must inherit their ideals and aspirations and carry forward the best spirit of our humanity......"

This was followed by a commendation for the front-line fighters. Relatives and friends of the victims, as well as front-line researchers, medical staff, and soldiers, were rewarded: a large amount of Singapore dollars and the right to choose a house.

No one said anything more about this, because they really gave a lot and the commendation was deserved.
