Chapter 552 Voting
"Okay, now the voting is over, I will announce the results now."

"..."

"Three votes in favor of establishing a disease repository."

"Nine votes against."

After hearing this result, the manager's radiance dimmed and he looked obviously very disappointed.

"If there are no objections, the decision this time is - not to establish a disease repository."

“Thank you for participating, and I wish you all a happy healing.”

The doctors exchanged greetings for a while and then dispersed. It seemed that this vote was not an important decision and everyone was just making up the numbers.

Gradually, only Mo Ling, Xi and the manager were left on the grass. The manager's light was still very dim. He stood on the grass with a hunched body, looking lonely.

"You voted in favor, right?" he suddenly asked Mo Ling and the others.

"Yes, how did you know?" Mo Ling asked back.

"Because they won't support me. They won't oppose the opinion of the Council of Elders. Establishing a disease storage bank is a very risky thing. They don't have the courage to do it."

The manager's tone was full of helplessness, and it was obvious that he had already anticipated the result of the vote.

"Can I ask you why you agree with me?" the manager asked the two.

"Because I have done something like this before. I transformed the disease into another form and protected it..." Xi said embarrassedly. He could do something like protecting the red spirit flower, so of course he could understand the manager.

Xi told the manager what happened between him and the Red Spirit Flower, and said seriously: "If we can build a disease storage library to store diseases, maybe we can use them one day. Some diseases will become very useful antidotes when dealing with other diseases..."

Listening to Xi's reasons, the manager's eyes flickered a few times.

"What you said makes sense. I have thought about this reason and discussed it with other doctors, but this is what they told me -"

"The healer doesn't need any antidote."

Having said this, the manager's voice fell again.

"It's true that doctors don't need any antidote. Our healing ability can solve everything, but..."

The administrator stood up straight and looked up at the sky: "But other races need it. We can't just consider curing the disease, right? If the patients leave the Huasheng Islands, we will just ignore them? Let the plague rage outside and we turn a blind eye?"

"Even if we can't help them, we can at least give them the antidote and let them save more patients on our behalf, right?"

Speaking of this, the manager became a little excited, and his eyes kept flashing.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down.
"What about you? Why did you vote in favor?" The manager's light ball turned to Mo Ling and asked curiously.

"Because studying diseases is also a form of treatment, and the healing ability of doctors is based on 'knowing', right? Preserving diseases can help us study them better, draw inferences from them better, and understand the causes of diseases more quickly when treating them, so that we can fully exert our healing power."

Mo Ling answered from the perspective of human medicine. No matter how advanced medical care is, if you want to better treat patients, you cannot escape "medical experience."

For a doctor, it will be easier to treat diseases that he has treated before. For the entire medical community, a doctor's healing experience can help the entire community move one step forward. The same is true for the medical community.

Preserving the disease means passing on the experience to future generations. In Mo Ling's opinion, this is a very meaningful thing.

The manager was very pleased to hear Mo Ling's answer. "I originally thought that no one would understand me... I didn't expect that there are two like-minded friends like you."

For doctors, everyone has different medical concepts, which can easily lead to conflicts. The Council of Elders has a lot of say, so even if a doctor has unique ideas, he or she dare not express them casually. It is even more rare to get the understanding of other doctors.

The manager stood there, thinking for a long time, and finally told Mo Ling and Xi his decision:

"Since no one is helping me, I will build a disease storage bank myself. I can manage the entire Senluo Island, so I can definitely manage the disease storage bank as well!"

After the manager said this, the warm sunlight suddenly cracked, the green grass gradually disappeared, the manager's body became more and more blurred, and the light gradually solidified.

"what happens?"

"His consciousness has left again, but not far away." Xi asked, "Senior, do you want to follow him?"

"Follow!"

Hearing this, Xi tightly grasped Mo Ling's hand, and the scene around him changed again...

This time, they returned to the matrix forest, and the increasingly blurry figure of the administrator became clear again.

He was standing in front of a matrix tree at this time, looking at the trunk quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

As if noticing the arrival, the manager turned around and looked at Mo Ling and Xi.

"Long time no see, you guys are here..."

The manager's voice was tired, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

His left hand seemed a little strange, with strange colors on the fingertips, his fingers were twisted, his arm was covered with blue algae, and there were several glittering scales growing at his elbow, like diamonds.

After seeing the two people, the manager belatedly put his left hand behind his back, but his guilty look betrayed him.

"You used yourself as a carrier?" Xi asked loudly.

"Yes." The manager replied: "All the species on Senluo Island are protected. I can't let them be infected. I can only infect myself..."

"Don't worry, these are all harmless pathogens, such as the rainbow virus, spiral vine disease, iron blue algae, and flash scale fungus... Even if something happens, I can heal myself. It's okay."

The manager slowly stretched out his left hand and showed it to the two of them.

However, facing the administrator's explanation, Xi was still very angry: "Is this the disease storage bank you mentioned? You are putting yourself in danger! Have you forgotten what the elders taught us?"

"No matter what, healing must be based on your own safety! Only by ensuring safety can we better treat patients. We must cherish our own lives! We must be alert to all possible dangers! We must pay attention to any seemingly harmless disease!"

Xi cursed angrily. He seemed to have forgotten that everything in front of him was just an illusion created by the healing space. He was extremely indignant at the manager's behavior.

Because Xi had done the same thing before, infecting himself with parasitic plants, he understood the dangers.

Listening to Xi's scolding, the manager was very calm. After Xi had vented his anger, the manager slowly spoke:
"After the last vote, I returned to Senluo Island and thought about it for a long time. I couldn't understand why the elders opposed this matter. Establishing a disease storage library is obviously a very meaningful thing. Why did they oppose it?"

"But then I realized... they weren't against the idea of ​​a disease repository, they were against putting us at risk."

"The elders protected us so well that we forgot that fighting the disease is supposed to be dangerous..."
