Back at the S city base, Tan Yue was feeling dizzy with the day's gains in his mind.
All the gains so far are largely based on their speculations, and there has been no substantial progress.
Tan Yue rummaged through the system mall again. She asked the system: "Are there any cards that protect people's consciousness and prevent people from being attacked in other people's subconscious world?"
[Yes, the price is 1499 energy points for one piece, 2499 energy points for two pieces, and 3499 energy points for three pieces. Each piece takes effect for two hours. 】
Tan Yue decisively bought three.
Xiaolong saw three cards appearing out of thin air in Tan Yue's hand, and curiously came over to sniff them.
The person in charge of City S arranged the best accommodation for them. Tan Yue and Xiaolong lived on the first floor of the villa, Xiao Miao lived on the second floor of the villa, and the boys lived in another small building.
Tan Yue touched Xiaolong's head, swept away the previous depression, and said briskly: "What's for dinner?"
The little dragon screamed, found an open space, put its wings close to its sides, retracted its claws, and wriggled on the ground, wagging its tail.
Tan Yue was amused by this series of actions: "Fish?"
Xiaolong shouted again.
Tan Yue laughed until tears welled up from the corners of his eyes. Of course she knew that Qin Heng was trying to make her happy, so she was deeply moved while laughing.
City S hired Tan Yue alone this time, and she was responsible for the entire assistance operation. The burden on her was heavy. Xiaolong noticed the way Tan Yue couldn't eat or sleep well these days, and was deep in thought whenever he had time.
She wiped her eyes and said, "How about steamed sea bass, braised potato slices, and a side of cold lettuce?"
"Gah!"
"It was decided happily." She said with a smile.
Tan Yue opened the refrigerator in the kitchen. The refrigerator was full of ingredients that made people feel the sincerity of S City Base. There were various vegetables, chicken, beef and mutton, potatoes, cucumbers, lotus root slices, tomatoes... There were even some in the frozen layer. Two small boxes of ice cream, which is quite a luxury food in the apocalypse.
Xiaolong followed step by step. He followed Tan Yue wherever he went. He almost stepped on him a few times. He was a very competent "obstacle".
Tan Yue saw the unhandled fish in trouble, and she could only ask Xiaolong: "Can you handle fish?"
Xiaolong's eyes lit up and he nodded crazily.
The way dragon creatures handle fish is simple and crude. Eating fish is engraved in their DNA, and handling a fish is as easy as catching it.
Tan Yue picked up Xiaolong and placed him on the cooking table. The dragon was so heavy that it could no longer hang on her arm.
The little dragon smacked his lips in front of the newly dead fish, and then the sharp light flashed between the dragon's claws. The movement was so fast that afterimages could be seen, and the fish scales fell off the fish.
Tan Yue's mouth opened into an O shape, and Xiaolong neatly removed the fish's internal organs, gills and bones, and a perfectly processed fish appeared on the chopping board.
Tan Yue applauded like a little seal.
Xiaolong puffed up his chest proudly and wanted to stay in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Tan Yue carried him out, and then the kitchen door slammed shut, locking him out.
Tan Yue said from inside: "Good boy, go play in the living room and don't make trouble in the kitchen!"
Xiaolong: "..."
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Without the pressure of being watched by Long, she was able to display her cooking skills normally.
Half an hour later, three delicious dishes were served. Xiao Miao ran downstairs and took a deep breath: "I smell the smell of fish downstairs!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them finished their meal, Tan Yue's phone rang.
"Qin Shuye's condition has worsened!"
Tan Yue stood up.
…
"What's going on?" Tan Yue and Xiao Miao strode towards the research room, with Xiaolong following anxiously.
Director Liang looked grim: "His brain wave activity is weakening! At this rate of decline, he will be brain dead in less than seven days."
"We have used external stimulation to maintain the intensity of his brain activity, but this method can only last for one month, and he can only live in this way for one month. As long as the external stimulation device is removed, he will be able to survive within three days. It will turn into a vegetative state."
Ye Gucheng said from the side: "In this case, the mastermind behind the scenes usually loses consciousness."
"how to explain?"
He analyzed: "Assuming that Qin Shuye keeps dreaming because of my junior sister Xie Wan's scheme, then Xie Wan is the mastermind behind his coma. At this time, as long as the mastermind falls into a coma due to some things, she will impose on Qin Shuye The spells on his body will be ineffective, but the victim will still not wake up. Without the spells to maintain his life, he will soon be brain dead."
Tan Yue keenly captured the key information: "You mean, Xie Wan is in a coma?"
Ye Gucheng did not deny it: "It's just a guess."
Director Liang said: "To save Qin Shuye, the top priority is to find the person who is plotting against him behind the scenes, and then awaken this person's consciousness."
But S city is so big, where to find someone who is deliberately hiding?
Tan Yue clenched his fists, feeling that time was extremely pressing.
…
In a rental house next to an abandoned garbage dump, a girl with long silver hair was lying on the ground, unconscious.
The people living nearby are all old residents who are unwilling to move. They were not wealthy before the end of the world, and after the end of the world they were even more unwilling to leave the place where they had lived for most of their lives. Leaving made them feel insecure.
Recently, this place welcomed a girl who didn't belong here at first glance.
She was wearing a red top, with big bright and well-shaped eyes, and her long silver hair should have been shining, but at the moment it was covered in dust and scattered messily on the floor.
The girl in red clothes and silver hair seemed to be dreaming about something in her sleep. Her beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled and cold sweat broke out on her face. She closed her eyes tightly and shook her head repeatedly, murmuring: "No, it's not me... let it go." I……"
Her breathing became rapid, and suddenly, the girl screamed in her sleep. The sound was shrill and shrill, resounding throughout the room and could even be heard in the corridor.
When the neighbor's grandma heard the sound, her hand slipped and the spatula fell to the ground and hit her foot.
The neighbors were alerted, and they started knocking on the door: "Little girl, little girl?"
"Is anyone home? Open the door!"
The screams in the room continued. Finally, someone skillfully picked the lock with a hairpin. A group of people rushed in, only to find the girl slumped on the floor, covered in cold sweat.
"this……"
The old woman came close and shook the girl's body, trying to wake her up, but the girl seemed to be dead in sleep, neither waking up nor making a sound.
Someone suggested: "Why don't we send them to the research institute? Didn't they recently say that anyone who can't wake up should be sent to the research institute?"
The old woman said in a protective and fierce manner: "Who knows what the institute wants these people to do! I don't trust them."
"Then you can save people by letting her lie here?"
