Liz's phone rang again. She picked up the call, listened to a few words, and quickly hung up.
"Sorry, I have to go out temporarily. Do you have anything else to do tonight?" Liz asked.
"No."
"Then come with me to the base hospital." Liz smiled, "Rigo's special training is over. I'm going to the hospital to give her something."
Contrary to Hesta's expectation, the base's hospital was not located in any building on the ground.
Liz took her on an elevator underground. The metal car sank all the way down for an unknown amount of time. When the door opened again, what appeared in front of Hesta's eyes was a completely different world.
It is completely different from the old buildings on the ground. The floors and walls are white, and the corridors are brightly lit, making it difficult to distinguish between night and day.
According to Liz, they are now about 110 meters deep underground. The buildings here are all welded by reinforced steel plates. The foundations of these buildings are not ordinary load-bearing soil layers, but are made of nearly 2,000 springs weighing 4.9 tons. Spliced together - this shockproof measure is enough to withstand most violent explosions.
There are more than a dozen such underground buildings in the base, with different functions. However, the only place Hesta has access to is the hospital.
The two passed through the triple disinfection area and put on sterile clothes. Liz brought Rico's CD and headphones, but these things were placed in the storage room outside - tomorrow morning, the nurse on shift will check them. Completely disinfected and then handed over to Rico.
After preliminary communication with the nurse, the two learned that Rico only woke up briefly around nine o'clock in the evening, and her consciousness lasted about six minutes. After learning that she would be hospitalized for more than a month, she repeatedly emphasized to the nurses nearby that they must contact Liz Fletcher from 403 and ask her to help bring a few CDs and headphones.
After hearing the reason, Liz breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lego's auxiliary officer has been transferred last year, so he doesn't go back to the base very often... Sometimes I will help her." Liz smiled at Hesta, "He is really a troublesome guy. ,Yes or no?"
"She was seriously injured?"
"Don't worry, it will be like this for the first time you awaken 'Bullet Time'. This way everyone can know where their limits are."
"limit?"
Liz didn't answer any more, and Hesta stopped asking. She vaguely felt that this might also be a question that was "not convenient to answer at the moment."
There may be many more questions like this - including the topic related to "bullet time limit" in the gym just now.
…
For the next few days, everything was calm.
What surprised Hesta the most was that things were exactly as Liz said, and Sean really didn't bother her again.
During this time of night, Hestad was alone in her room finishing her roses.
After sealing the glass cover, the girl placed it on the side table by the window. On a clear night, when the sun sets in the west, the brilliant sunset on the horizon will cast a dusk glow on the glass. After reflection, it will shine in the bedroom where the lights are not turned on.
Hesta was lying on her back on the bed, staring at the light and shadow on the ceiling. She didn't think about anything, and everything around her had nothing to do with her. It wasn't until the time for night class approached that she got up and started getting ready to go out.
There were very few people at the base, but the atmosphere seemed very friendly. Whenever she went out with Liz and met a stranger in the corridor, no matter whether she had seen the person before or not, the other person would take the initiative to say hello to her and say "hello" or "good evening". This made Herbert happy. Sta was particularly unaccustomed to it.
Hesta has already started her classes. After the preliminary evaluation, the courses she could immediately start participating in were only the most basic physical training. Not only that, she also lacks the necessary common sense to operate electronic equipment.
The teaching assistant responsible for designing the course said she had to complete approximately 120 hours of basic life skills training and elementary grammar instruction before she could begin subsequent courses. Considering that basic training already takes up nearly 6 hours of her day, the course center arranges this type of skill training for her at night.
The teaching building is a public area, and there are cameras everywhere. In other places that are not covered by the cameras, Liz has never left Hesta alone. She has always insisted on taking Hesta to and from get out of class - this is how she soothed Hesta. Star's fearful way.
Hesta learns quickly and is very involved. After the teacher's formal teaching is over, she often continues to ask and discuss with a bunch of questions, while Liz always waits outside without complaint until Hes Tower out.
After more than half a month, Hestad finally offered to go to and from get out of class alone. Liz quickly synchronized the news with Molly and Valenti - this somewhat shows that Hestad was not satisfied with the information provided by the base. Reassurance builds some trust.
As May approached, the weather gradually turned hotter, and the sun set significantly later. Hesta also immediately extended her self-study time. She was completing the transition from monastery life to reserve at the training base at an alarming speed.
It was night again, and as the sunset outside the window faded, the lights in the classroom turned on on their own.
The phone on the table vibrated slightly, it was Liz's message.
"Where are you?"
Hestad quickly replied: "Grammar classroom."
"Don't leave, wait for me there, I'll be there soon."
Hesta looked at this text message, and from these words, she vaguely felt that Liz seemed a little anxious.
She looked out the window. The sky that was orange not long ago had now turned light blue, and the lone star in the night became more obvious. Hesta put away her phone, and her instinct to avoid trouble made her decide to go next door to find the assistant teacher.
Try not to be alone until Liz arrives.
However, the moment she stood up, she heard a sudden mechanical twisting sound behind her, and the lights in the classroom suddenly went out - except for the one above Hesta's head.
The entire classroom dimmed instantly, and Hesta saw herself in the reflection of the window. The white light illuminated her hair and cast her face into shadow.
She turned around and quickly realized that the sound she had just heard came from the security camera at the back of the classroom.
The camera, which was originally facing the middle of the classroom, slowly turned to where Hesta was after several adjustments.
Hesta frowned and walked slowly back from the front of the classroom. With every step, the lights behind her went out, and the lights above her suddenly lit up, like a cage made of cold light, always focused on her body.
The camera moved slowly, following her steps, and Hesta walked in front of the camera.
She stared at the camera suspiciously.
"...Sean?"
The camera suddenly shook, and its metal joints made a squeaking sound, like a string of weird laughter.
