Chapter 192
"So are you going to let him go like this? He is the chief culprit who once framed you, and all your injuries are thanks to him." Zhu Min's ass just touched the seat on the plane, opposite Ji Yao Sitting down, he took off the rifle on the wall and held it in his arms.
Ji Yao put on the earphones, leaning on the open door to watch the situation outside.He leaned against the sniper rifle, and the strong wind was raging in the cabin. He had to turn up the volume so that Zhu Min could hear clearly: "Be quiet, medical officer, you'd better sit down and don't talk."
There were also four executives accompanying them, sitting on both sides, guarding two heavy machine guns. They just blocked a lot of wind, and Zhu Min felt better sitting in the middle.He touched his sore nose, pulled on his mask, threw off his white coat, and put on a bulletproof vest.
"Didn't Professor Yang Qihua develop a new type of bulletproof vest? When can we expect to wear it? I heard that it is an incredible invention, and he will be invulnerable if he wears it."
"Then you have to ask Professor Yang, he has already sent the data to the coordinate instrument, and the experts on the coordinate instrument will solve it." Ji Yao said, leaning against the wallboard, his coat had already been taken off, because He had been injected with antifreeze so he wouldn't feel the cold.
One exec said, "The coordinator...we haven't been back on the coordinator for a long time."
There was a sudden silence in the cabin, and Zhu Min paused for a moment with his belt-tying hand, lowered his eyes, and then continued to fasten the belt buckle silently.The executives squinted at the sunlight constantly reflected on the ice outside, their faces looked haggard from long-term tension and fatigue.
Ji Yao wiped the Tang knife. As the highest official here, he sat with a group of ordinary executives.He heard their murmurs, which haunted the executives like ghosts, doctors, laborers, experts, and scholars.Ji Yao often hears such and such sounds. Whenever he lies in the rest cabin and loses sleep all night, he often hears buzzing whispers in the cold darkness, and he himself can relate to these Whispers resonate.
Tang Dao glowed with a crystal light in his hand, the blade reflected his eyebrows, and in the deep-set eye sockets, there were evidences of his insomnia and missing someone crazily.He put the knife back into the scabbard, turned his head to look at the snow field that was getting closer, and said softly, "Do you miss home?"
"Think about it, sir, why don't you miss home." The executive smiled and lowered his head to check his gloves, "When I watched my companions die one by one, I felt homesick. Don't you , sir?"
Ji Yao smiled, but his long eyebrows diluted his smile, becoming like the sunshine of the North Pole, absorbed by a sliver of cloud: "We are all human, so I am like you. I am also waiting Go home, but it's a long time yet."
The executive took a look at him and said, "I thought you were hard-hearted."
"Is there any necessary connection between being hard-hearted and wanting to go home?" Ji Yao said, the plane was about to land, and the pilot was reporting the situation in the earphones, but Ji Yao's voice was still faint, floating like cooking smoke, "It's two different things."
"Warning, B-26 is lowering altitude, please prepare for landing. The rope has been lowered, and the countdown has begun. Please pay attention to protection and ground fire attack." The pilot sent a reminder in the cockpit. He pressed a switch, and the helicopter hangs down. Lower the two halyards.
"Get out of the cabin! Get out of the cabin! Come on, soldier! Move!" Ji Yao gestured to the executive in the roar of the engine and propellers, and put on protective goggles. Zhu Min had already climbed onto the rope with the gun on his back, and quickly slid down Go to the flat snow below, roll around and stand up.
An executive quickly kissed the photo in his hand. Ji Yao watched him carefully put the photo into the inner pocket of his clothes, the place closest to his heart, and asked, "Is it your lover?"
The young executive picked up the rifle next to him and hung it on his back, and replied: "It's the fiancee. The wedding is scheduled for August, a beautiful day in the heat. Our parents are very satisfied with the marriage, and she is waiting Let me go home."
"You are very happy." Ji Yao said, his face mask covered his expression, and the executive couldn't see clearly.
"Where is the commander? There must be a lover waiting for you to go home, right? You have always worn a ring on your finger. Everyone says that the commander has a beautiful fiancée."
"Ah, yes, he's waiting for me to go home." Ji Yao replied briefly, and after hearing the word "fiancee", he smiled very lightly, only at this time, could there be a smile in his eyes. The tenderness like a flying swallow comes from the mud.
There are thousands of kinds of waiting in the world, but the only one that is persistent is that the coming day can be expected.Before everything happened, Ji Yao had planned the future in his mind. At that time, before the winter came, he was once as bright as the sun—excited, thinking that he had a bright future.At that time, the world was illuminated, like an open garden, and every brick in the flower bed could be the wall of Troy, and the sadness that fell in it was just the disappointment after trying to catch up.
Ji Yao was the last to land. After he gestured, the helicopter rose a bit and began to circle over the snowy field.The building complex stood intact on the plain, and Ji Yao could even see the brown-red rust on the base of the turret, which was being slowly eroded by the congealed ice.
Tang Ji knelt in the snow, holding a thin person in his arms, wrapped in a blanket.There was blood all over his knees, red but not spreading.The executive surrounded Tang Ji, and Zhu Min stood outside the encirclement, brushing his hair, and clenched the handle of the gun in his hand.
The executive made way for Ji Yao, and Ji Yao walked up to Tang Ji with a knife on his back. His boots were tightly tied to his calves, and snow piled up on the shiny boots.Ji Yao like this is very mighty, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, straight shoulders, standing there like a pine tree growing on his spine.He is a good match with Fu Zhong, Zhu Min thought, to be able to press such a man on the bed and fuck his body with marks all over his body, Fu Zhong is also very capable.
Of course, Fu Zhong's ability doesn't stop there.
Zhu Min thought that Ji Yao would make an aggressive move, and while he was still on the plane, he simulated countless emergency handling plans in his mind, including what kind of lies to tell so that the executives would not be suspicious of it.Zhu Min has already thought of ten sets of rhetoric, and he has to ensure that these people's marching diary will not contain Ji Yao's words—he is like an old woman who is worried about this patient and that patient every day, full of worries, every step he takes Everyone is walking on eggshells.
Ji Yao stood in front of Tang Ji for a while, the long shadow was so pale that he could hardly see the color, the weak sea breeze climbed up from the water and wrapped around his feet.The thin blanket hanging from Tang Ji's arms was blown by the breeze at this time, like the arms of a sleeping woman, hanging beside the bed.
"What's the matter?" Ji Yao asked, looking down at the person wrapped from head to toe in the blanket.The deceased only showed a vague outline of the face, and a strand of hair fell from the gap and fluttered in the wind.With his head turned sideways, he leaned gently on Tang Ji's chest in a gesture of attachment.
Tang Ji raised his red eyes, and Ji Yao saw that his eyes were full of tears, which was quite different from what he remembered.Tang Ji and Ji Yao looked at each other, there was rare hatred and coldness in those eyes, only the distress that had been endured for a long time: "Please...send him back."
The executive next to him came over and pushed aside the blanket with the barrel of a gun, revealing Song Chen's face with closed eyes.Ji Yao calmly watched a ray of light spread over the cold and pale corpse. Song Chen's nose bridge and cheeks were dyed warm, and he quietly stood next to Tang Ji with a calm posture.As if sleeping in spring, smelling the fragrance of apricot blossoms and crabapples in a dream, Huang Ying stood on a branch and told him the spring scene outside the city, mistaking Tianchi for Su Causeway, and the roses under the eaves were sprouting flower buds from thorns.
The dead Song Chen was like a sleeping sika deer, wrapped up tenderly and held in the arms of a tearful first-degree felon.He was so peaceful, as if he had never experienced pain before his death, but only Tang Ji knew what kind of heart-wrenching cry Song Chen had made when he died.
Time does not flow in a black hole, so Song Chen's body does not rot, and every strand of his hair remains intact, rising and falling in the breeze.Ji Yao saw that Song Chen's neck was wrapped with bandages and dried blood, he moved his eyelashes and said, "I shot him to death with my own hands, Tang Ji, he died in my hands. Why should I help you?" ?”
"He is a member of the time bureau, and he will become a regular after the next year, but he didn't make it to that day." Tang Ji said, he knelt in front of Ji Yao, and a tear rolled out of his eyes when he spoke, "It's me It made him like this. He wants to go home, always wants to go home, but I have no way to send him home. So I came to you, hoping that he can take your tour pod and go back to his hometown."
"You will be so concerned about a small executive? And come to help him fulfill his last wish? I can't believe there is no conspiracy in it."
"I love him." Tang Ji said, he didn't say much, he felt that these three words were enough to replace many irrelevant words to prove himself.
Ji Yao pulled out a gun and put it on Tang Ji's forehead: "It seems that you have been dependent on each other along the way, and your relationship has developed due to friction. But you are not worthy of these three words, including me, and I am not worthy either. We are all Poor thing."
"Did you kill him just to get revenge on me?" Tang Ji was under Ji Yao's gunpoint, but he didn't relax his hand holding Song Chen, "You said you wanted revenge, you said you were living in an endless nightmare. "
"When I shot at him, it was only for the purpose of killing the enemy, but today I heard you say you love him, and I knew I killed the right person. Tang Ji, you love him, how sad it is One thing." Zhu Min heard Ji Yao say this.
Tang Ji's arms tightened, and he hugged Song Chen deeper, just like after they made love for the first time, Tang Ji spent a peaceful night hugging the unconscious Song Chen.Song Chen made him live like a human being, just like a speck of dust breaking into the morning light, the wooden house was warmed up, and the winter haze just passed outside.
"You hate me." Tang Ji closed his eyes.
"Yes, I hate you." Ji Yao said, his finger holding the trigger gradually tightened, "I hate myself even more, why didn't I send you to see the King of Hades when I killed him, maybe in hell You can still make another pair of mandarin ducks. But when I saw you kneeling in front of me and begging with a corpse in your arms, and didn't resist even when your head was held by a gun, I was suddenly glad that I didn't kill you in advance. I was like Got a gift."
"Please send him back. If a tombstone is built for him, please write the good news of his conversion on the tombstone. He was dragged to death by our hatred. The only thing I can do for him is to send him back home."
Ji Yao looked at Tang Ji silently, and then set his eyes on Song Chen's face.After a while, he pulled the trigger resolutely: "Death is nothing. I want revenge. Song Chen is just the beginning, just like the sun is just a morning star."
The snow dust was blown up by the wind, like a cloud of fog, drifting towards the towers and roads in the city.The sound of the helicopter hangs not too far above the head, and the executive on the plane is holding a machine gun, watching closely the movement below.Zhu Min looked over Ji Yao's shoulder and saw an iceberg. After so long, he suddenly realized that the shape of the iceberg was like a Buddha, and they were standing at the feet of the Buddha.
Xiao Zhuoming walked through the cabin of the plane. She was a medical officer and wanted to check the condition of the wounded.The plane carrying the evacuees was notified and its departure was delayed.Xiao Zhuoming leaned on the porthole and looked out, the giant eagle stretched its wings and spread its wings.
"Medical officer? Can I have a glass of water?" Someone asked. He was lying on the bedstead, his eyes covered with gauze, and he raised his hands and groped in mid-air.Xiao Zhuoming shook his hand, poured warm water from the side, and helped the patient up.
The patient was wearing the uniform of an executive, and it was only with Xiao Zhuoming's help that he brought the cup to his mouth.With trembling purple hands, he covered the warm water glass, took a sip of water with his chapped lips, and said, "Are we about to be evacuated?"
"Yes, the commander wants to send us all back. The plane can't leave now, we have to wait for a while." Xiao Zhuoming went to the side to draw out the antifreeze, poured it into the needle, pulled the collar of the executive, and injected him into the skin , "Antifreeze, it can make you feel better."
"Thank you, medical officer." The executive officer said, he let out a sigh of relief after buttoning his collar, and his stiff fingers eased. He tucked the scarf tightly, "How many people have been evacuated?"
Xiao Zhuoming was handling the syringe, looked around the engine room, and replied ambiguously: "A quarter."
The executive hummed and asked again: "Why can't we take off? Is the weather too bad?"
"The commander said he couldn't take off if he couldn't take off."
"Oh. I heard birds of prey. What's going on outside?"
Xiao Zhuoming raised her eyelids and looked outside, a shadow flashed past, she lowered her eyelashes and threw the sealed discarded needles into the recycling channel: "A giant eagle is hovering above our heads. I hope it is not hungry and looking for food , the taste of human flesh is not good."
The executive was amused by her words. He raised his hand to touch his eyes, but he paused when he touched the gauze, and had to put it down: "How long will it take for my eyes to heal?"
"It's still early, you have to go back and have to continue the surgery. The glass shattered all your lenses, and it's not an easy job to fix. You'd better be mentally prepared, you may never see it again Empty."
"Medical officer, you are so straightforward." The executive said, but he did not show negative emotions because of Xiao Zhuoming's words. Instead, he held his water glass and chatted with Xiao Zhuoming with a smile on his face, "Maybe I really can't see the light anymore." , I have not yet seen the dawn, and I will be left in the darkness forever."
"You don't look like a person who is going to be blind. You are probably the first one to be so optimistic at this moment, the first one I have ever seen." Xiao Zhuoming rested on the armrest, took off his glasses and wiped them clean , and then wear it back upright.
The Executor drank his last sip of water, his face flushed, and he leaned against the bed frame, facing the porthole, although he couldn't see anything.Xiao Zhuoming smiled, lightly took the water cup from his hand, and sent it to the disinfection cabin.The intercom in his pocket rang suddenly, Xiao Zhuoming picked it up, and hurriedly opened the hatch to enter the rear of the plane.The disinfectant spray was automatically turned on, submerging Xiao Zhuoming in the mist, and she took off the protective clothing from the shelf next to her to cover herself.
"Doctor Xiao, sir, he's not well. He just fell ill almost suddenly, with a high fever and vomiting." Pan Di turned out from the glass door. He was also wearing protective clothing, and his eyes were blurry because of the protective goggles. There was a look of panic.
Xiao Zhuoming hung up the sign, entered the identification code and entered the sterile cabin. Several doctors were processing the vomit, and then forced disinfection again.Xiao Zhuoming glanced at it, and the vomit showed an abnormal color, even mixed with a lot of blood clots.Lin Cheng was lying on the hospital bed, his violent breathing almost made him faint, and his hands and feet were convulsed.Pandi connected him to the ventilator according to Xinghe's instructions. After the machine started to run, Lin Cheng became a little quieter. The temperature monitor next to him showed that he had a high fever of 40 degrees.
"You said he had a sudden onset?" Xiao Zhuoming asked. She stood in front of the nearby screen to retrieve relevant data, and her gaze stayed on one of the pages for a while, "God, what's wrong with his immune system?"
Ban Di stood beside Lin Cheng, held his hand, looked back at Xiao Zhuoming, and said, "Not long after being sent into the aseptic cabin, I started to have a fever, and the temperature rise was unprecedented. I coughed violently and probably For two minutes, the cough was followed by vomiting."
Xiao Zhuoming slid open the screen and quickly entered instructions on Xinghe's interface: "Didn't he be fine when he got off the submarine? Look at the things he vomited just now, they are all necrotic internal organs."
"Doctor Xiao, what disease did he have? Is it a virus infection? It has been so long, and I still haven't heard a clear answer from the medical team. Doctor Xiao, we have the right to know what is going on. He is The executive is the director of the monitoring station."
"I know, I know, Ban Di, I know how important he is." Xiao Zhuoming left the screen after hitting a key, took the hose from the wall next to him, and inserted the needle into Lin Cheng's abdominal cavity, "The medical team didn't Know what it is, it looks like a severe viral infection, but we can't find the pathogen in his body, which is the most troublesome problem. Fuck it, Pandi, think about it, we can't find the pathogen!"
Xiao Zhuoming's tone suddenly became intense, as if she was venting her emotions, her lips trembled tremblingly because of anger and irritability.Although she cursed fiercely, she still pushed the slender needle in slowly and accurately, and after confirming it was safe, she exhaled gently.
After pressing the button, the hose vibrates, the piston in the quartz tube of the head is pressed down, and the nanorobot is being released into the human body.Xiao Zhuoming stared at the video transmission screen next to him, looked back at the silent Pandi, pursed his lips, stiffened his neck and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Ban Di raised his head, looked at Xiao Zhuoming for a moment, and looked away uncomfortably, "I asked too many questions. I trust you very much, and I can understand your difficulties. It's just me... ...a little anxious, after all, he is my officer."
"En." Xiao Zhuoming lowered his head and twirled his fingers, shook his calf, turned around and continued his work.After a while, she said: "His immune system, which was originally weak, is now attacking his own organs like a flashback."
"Can nanorobots find the cause?"
"I hope." Xiao Zhuoming said, "This is the ninth time that he has injected a robot into his body. I haven't found anything serious, but the side effects are getting stronger each time. If you use this thing too much, it will kill you."
Ban Di has been silent all the time. He helps the doctor take care of the cardiopulmonary circulation machine. These days, he often works with the medical team and serves as Lin Cheng's escort.Lin Cheng's convulsion symptoms eased after a few minutes, and thin clothes covered his bony body. In just a few days, Pan Di witnessed with his own eyes a person as bright as a pomegranate flower quickly shattered into pieces after experiencing the ravages of illness. Dead wood, even the crimson petals of the past have been crushed into a puddle of mud.
The nano-robot returned to the quartz tube from the needle tube. Xiao Zhuoming supported the image transmission screen, watched the hopeless "unlocked and cleared target" jump out of it, closed his eyes, and chose to remain silent almost numbly.She couldn't speak anymore, and she didn't know what to say to express her thoughts. The long-term anxiety gnawed at her nerves bit by bit, making her exhausted.The expected disappointment is a sense of powerlessness that is like headless chickens, even though the room is full of high-tech.
"Go and report to the commander, Bandi. Go quickly, go to the commander, explain the situation to him, and follow his instructions. He will always find a solution." Xiao Zhuoming said, with her back to Bandi, in a calm voice No emotion could be heard, but in the end only a weak breath remained.
Pan Di glanced at Lin Cheng, who was in a coma, and quickly left the sterile cabin. After taking off his protective clothing, he rushed out of the cabin, just in time to meet the executive who came up with a stretcher.The deceased was lying on the stretcher, covered with a blanket, and was being transported to the bottom refrigerator through the isolation channel.
"Commander, can I tell you something?" Ji Yao came out of the disinfection room after disinfection, and was putting on gloves on himself, when Pan Di caught up with him from behind, "About Lin Cheng."
Ji Yao stopped, Zhu Min put on his hat behind him, and asked, "Did you come out of the sterile cabin? Is Dr. Xiao Zhuoming there?"
"Doctor Xiao is already inside, she is a kind and good doctor. Chief Lin's condition has deteriorated again, worse than before, with high fever, convulsions, shortness of breath, and even began to vomit his necrotic organs. Commander, The doctors couldn't find the cause, not even the pathogen, all the machines came in handy, but all in vain. Dr. Xiao is on the verge of collapse. Commander, we want your instructions, or let this plane Take off now, we have to go back and get help."
"The plane will be leaving immediately, I have given the order. Are you on the evacuation list? What's your name?"
"My name is Ban Di, the executive officer of the monitoring station. I'm a sergeant. I work under Chief Lin. I'm not on the evacuation list. I'm just his escort to assist the doctor in treatment."
"Did Lincheng be flooded by seawater at first? I heard that the glass of the monitoring station was destroyed, and seawater poured in. In order to save the computer, he stayed underwater for a few minutes and almost drowned?"
"Yes, Commander, that's true. He's had problems since then, that's when it all started. I don't know what happened to him, what's going on in his body to do all the bad things ? I don't know, and neither does the doctor."
Ji Yao paused for a while, he turned sideways to make way for others, tightened his jaw, and turned his head to ask Ji Songlin to be taken out of the room.Ji Songlin was handcuffed and shackled, and was escorted in front of Ji Yao with a clatter. Ji Yao straightened his back and raised his hand indifferently to let others leave.
"What will happen if seawater enters the human body?" Ji Yao asked bluntly, he was asking Ji Songlin, "What symptoms will it cause? Listen to my question clearly, and then answer me clearly, I just want to hear Useful stuff."
"I told you that the sea water is polluted, so tell your people not to touch it."
"I know, but now some people have swallowed a lot of seawater, which made them sick and broke all the doctors." Ji Yao said, "Answer my question."
"It will cause unexplained dry cough and cold. The early symptoms are similar to colds and will not attract attention. After about three days to a week, vomiting, muscle aches, organ failure, and weakened immune system will begin. After another cycle, the immune system will Attacks on all organs of the body, accompanied by persistent high fever, convulsions and shock. Finally, the patient will continuously vomit the internal organs, the skin will melt, the blood will coagulate in the body, the lungs will harden, and they will suffocate to death."
Ji Yao asked Zhu Min: "What kind of disease is this symptom?"
"From the description, there is a high probability that it is a virus infection, similar to the hemorrhagic fever caused by the Ebola virus." Zhu Min paused, "But no infected person was found, and no pathogenic bacteria or virus was found in Lin Cheng's body. "
"It's not a virus." Ji Songlin said, "The seawater was once polluted by a kind of blood, making it a dead zone for human beings. After swallowing seawater, the poisonous blood factor in the water will strongly occupy the human body, leaving people with time Derangement occurs, which causes the disease. Where is the patient now?"
Pandi replied: "The immune system has begun to attack its own organs. I saw him spit out dead tissue and blood clots in his own body."
"He's going to die. Countless people have been infected with poisonous blood and died slowly like this around me. Once they start vomiting, they have to wait to die because there is no cure. Often it is floor after floor. , and in the end only myself was left.”
"Fuck you, he won't be finished." Ji Yao scolded and clenched his fists, "No one dies so easily, at least he can't die. Why did you survive?"
"I do not know."
Ji Yao patted Zhu Min on the shoulder: "Your research materials are here. You'd better cut him open to see if there are antibodies in his body."
Zhu Min smiled.
"So it's not the virus that's at fault, but time? What is the poisonous blood factor? What kind of blood has polluted the entire ocean?" Ji Yao frowned and continued. He picked up the earphone next to him and hung it up.
Ji Songlin's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He seemed a little hesitant when faced with this question, but he quickly killed his hesitation: "Dragon King. When he killed the Dragon King, its blood flowed all over the entire continent. At that time, the ocean There is a blood tide. From the middle of the equator all the way to the North Pole, there is a poisonous blood mist. I isolated the polluted sea and land, and hid it in the water mirror. This is here. Then you came here .”
Everyone chose to be silent under these words. Bandi couldn't understand, so he asked Zhu Min, but Zhu Min didn't speak.Ji Yao pinched the earphone microphone, his fingers were tense, and he said after a long time: "The ghost face on the mountain was painted by you, right? Thank you for your guidance."
"I'm also glad it worked."
Ji Yao ignored it, and turned his back to quickly open the authority on the command screen. He was always so quick and quick, and Ban Di finally felt relieved.Ji Yao ordered Xinghe: "Transfer a cryogenic chamber, authorization is granted. Identification code BK-35, intended user number 0779, medical report and identity information have been retrieved. Immediate transfer."
After Xinghe started the transfer procedure, Ji Yao put down the earphones, looked at the flustered Pandi, and said, "Only the cryogenic cabin can save him. After he returns, he will find a solution before he can be thawed in time. Go tell Dr. Xiao." , she can relax a bit."
