"I thought~~~Forget it, I'll ask Mr. Zhong later." Knowing that Nurse Xiaoting's thoughts at this time were not in line with his own, Chu Xiang had no choice but to stop the topic.
After a while, Xiaoting said: "Jinshan, what do you want to know?"
"Jinshan is more than a thousand kilometers away from the nearest nuclear explosion site and is basically unaffected by radiation. When did you leave Jinshan?"
Understanding that Chu Xiang did not want to take the opportunity to harass, the female nurse replied: "The third month after the great change."
"What's the reason for leaving?"
"job transfer."
"Transferred here?"
"Um."
"That is to say, the need to activate this base was determined three months after the nuclear war."
"The base was already operational before I arrived."
"Oh! That means it was activated earlier. Were you also a nurse when you were in Jinshan?"
"No, I'm a doctor."
"Did you get too many big shots after you got here, so you had to be demoted to a nurse?" Chu Xiang smiled.
"Um."
"Poor baby." Chu Xiang reached out to touch Xiaoting's head.
Nurse Xiaoting got angry again, slapped Chu Xiang's hand away, and glared at Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang smiled awkwardly. He was a bit of a failure because he didn't succeed.
"Your eyes are very beautiful." Chu Xiangdao wanted to use praise to close the relationship. He noticed that there was anger in nurse Xiaoting's eyes. He laughed twice and quickly diverted the nurse's attention and said: "Then when did you start to get in touch with me?" What about patients with signs of mutation?”
The female nurse did not answer. After taking care of Chu Xiang's wound, she said in a calm tone: "The mutation was truly confirmed on the third day after the great change. The suspicious cases that cannot be determined were found before the great change."
Chu Xiang's expression changed slightly and said: "Then radiation is not the main cause of mutation at all. In three days, we were more than a thousand kilometers away from the nearest nuclear explosion point. It is difficult for radiation to have an impact in such a short period of time. That is to say, the factors that caused the mutation had already appeared before the war, but the impact was not large. After the great change, the impact became more and more serious. What could be the reason?"
"Technology that can affect all areas of the earth almost simultaneously has not yet appeared. The cause of human body variation is nothing more than changes in the living environment. As for the environment before the war, there were no obvious changes. The greatest possibility The sex is that the composition of the air is different. For example, it may be that a particle similar to a neutrino passes through the earth, causing certain components of the air to change. After absorbing this air component, humans mutate."
Nurse Xiaoting's analysis was well-founded and eloquent, which surprised Chu Xiang. Thinking of Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi, Chu Xiang's heart moved and asked: "Are you a doctor or a graduate student?"
"Studying for a doctoral degree." Nurse Xiaoting said, her eyes a little blurry.
"Doctor! There are already as many graduate students as dogs in this world, and doctors are everywhere!" Chu Xiang sighed, and suddenly grabbed Xiaoting's hand like lightning, looked into her bright eyes and said, "It's great to be taken care of by you. It is the blessing I have gained through three lifetimes of cultivation."
Being attacked again, Nurse Xiaoting's eyes suddenly became sharp and angry, and she shook Chu Xiang's hand away. However, Chu Xiang didn't want to let go, how could she shake it off.
"Let go." Nurse Xiaoting said angrily.
Chu Xiang didn't let go, and bang, Nurse Xiaoting slapped Chu Xiang on the face. He didn't expect this to happen, and he was caught off guard. Chu Xiang was stunned by the slap. He looked at Nurse Xiaoting's angry eyes in embarrassment, unwilling to give up. He let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry." Chu Xiang said with some embarrassment. He didn't expect such a result and turned away, not daring to look at Xiaoting again.
Seeing that Chu Xiang was a little lonely, Nurse Xiaoting regretted her slap. She looked at Chu Xiang blankly for a while, quickly packed her things, said sorry in a low voice, and ran away.
"Sure enough, I am destined to die alone." After Xiaoting left, Chu Xiang touched the five blood-red fingerprints on his face and sighed.
Xiaoting didn't talk to Chu Xiang for the next day. She changed the dressing quickly every time and left as soon as it was done, as if to avoid him. Chu Xiang watched her busy and didn't know what to say.
When Mr. Zhong came for acupuncture again, he smiled mysteriously when he saw Chu Xiang's face trying his best to avoid being seen. Xiaoting lowered her head hard beside her, not daring to speak.
"By the way, Mr. Zhong, I have a question for you." Chu Xiang smiled awkwardly and shifted the focus on his face.
"Ask." Mr. Zhong smiled strangely.
"What exactly causes the mutation?"
"Mutations appear almost simultaneously all over the world. Do you think, with current technology, is there any way to achieve this?" Mr. Zhong asked the question without answering, and confirmed what Xiaoting said, mutations appeared all over the world at the same time.
"Miss Xiaoting said, no."
"Yes, no." Zhong Lao said, looking at Chu Xiang's eyes with a wise light.
Chu Xiang looked at Mr. Zhong in confusion, and Mr. Zhong also looked at him without saying anything. Suddenly, Chu Xiang's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean, this is not something we can do."
"Not bad." Mr. Zhong nodded approvingly.
People on earth can't do it, so why does it happen? The universe is very big.
"So, there is a reason for this inexplicable nuclear war?" Chu Xiang took a deep breath, with a confused look in his eyes. Duan Meng's words and Zhong Lao's both pointed in the same direction.
"I don't know what the reason is, but the effect is good." Zhong Laodao said.
"Effect! The effect of nuclear war! What does it mean?" Chu Xiang looked at Mr. Zhong strangely. After a while, he suddenly understood and shouted: "Is it... the radiation layer?"
"Why can't you figure it out if you're so smart?" Mr. Zhong laughed strangely again, and there was something in his words.
This sentence confirmed Chu Xiang's guess, and at the same time made Chu Xiang embarrassed. He glanced at Xiaoting and wanted to say something. Thinking of what Mr. Zhong had just said, his thoughts changed and he sighed slightly.
"Eggshells cannot protect eggs." Chu Xiang suddenly said something without beginning or end.
"Not bad." Mr. Zhong nodded approvingly.
"So we need to hatch the chick as soon as possible and let the chick turn into a phoenix and fly for nine days."
"Very good, you are smarter than I thought." Mr. Zhong said in surprise.
"I'm a little scared." Chu Xiang's eyes were slightly confused.
"Knowing that fear is a good thing."
"I'm fine as I am now. I'm comfortable. There's no need to worry about it."
"You are already worrying." Mr. Zhong said with a smile.
"People become better with age." Chu Xiang smiled bitterly, a little reluctantly.
After acupuncture, Chu Xiang asked: "Old man, can I get out of bed and walk?"
It was a very rude name, and Xiaoting frowned next to her.
"I didn't say it wasn't possible." Mr. Zhong said with a smile, not caring about Chu Xiang's impoliteness.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, what kind of thing is a zombie?"
"I don't know either. I let you go because I want to capture him and study him." Zhong Laodao said.
Chu Xiang rolled his eyes and said: "According to legend, zombies originated from Jian. The ancestors of the four ancient zombies, Jiang Chen, Han Bao, Hou Qing, and Ying Gou, were all formed because of Jian. Jian's soul possessed Han Ba, Hou Qing, and Ying Gou. , the body formed into a general, Hanba is dead, the general and Yinggou are formed from the body and soul of Jian, there will not be a second one, the most likely reason is because of the curse of the Queen, all those who died unjustly have a chance to become zombies, and That is to say, this zombie was formed by a person who died unjustly. This zombie wore human armor from the Song Dynasty. It is very likely that he was a person from the Song Dynasty. The general of the Song Dynasty who died unjustly must not be an unknown person. This can be used to identify this person. The identity of the zombie, and the related things must not be difficult to find out.”
"The knowledge is very extensive and the analysis is wonderful." Zhong Lao praised, and then changed the topic: "But, how can you be sure that the legend is true?"
"I think it's true, it's true." Chu Xiang said forcefully.
"Haha, are you cheating?" Mr. Zhong said with a smile.
"I didn't ask you to believe it. I just think that's the case. If you don't believe it, you can go check it out." Chu Xiang argued.
"I won't investigate whether this legend is true or false, but there is a biggest loophole in it. J, what is it? Where does it come from? Why can it turn people into zombies?" Mr. Zhong said with a smile.
"Is there anything strange about this? Huang Emperor, Yan Emperor and Chi You are not normal people. The appearance of abnormal Jian is not worthy of further investigation."
"They are not normal people. Why are we, their descendants, like this?" Mr. Zhong laughed again.
Chu Xiang raised his eyebrows. Unless Mr. Zhong said it, he didn't realize that people growing up on this land have always called themselves descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. However, many people don't know that their ancestors may be monsters. After all, they say Such words are deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.
"What does that have to do with me, I'm not interested in knowing." Chu Xiang said, as if it didn't matter to him.
Mr. Zhong laughed like an old fox.
Mr. Zhong left without giving Chu Xiang an answer or any hint. He didn't know even if he thought about it.
Looking at Nurse Xiaoting who was packing her things with her head down, Chu Xiang wanted to speak, but was a little hesitant. After a while, he finally asked the question in his heart: "Beauty Xiaoting, is Mr. Zhong really just a doctor?"
"You can check it yourself." Nurse Xiaoting said indifferently.
"I just want to ask you." Chu Xiang glared and said angrily.
"I don't know." Nurse Xiaoting said coldly after glancing at Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang was very angry and wanted to jump off the bed, but he was unable to do so and rolled off the bed.
Nurse Xiaoting was shocked when she saw this. She was very nervous. She carefully laid Chu Xiang's limbs flat and asked with concern: "Is there any injury?"
Chu Xiang looked uncomfortable, touched his chest and said, "It feels very uncomfortable here."
"No, maybe the internal organs were shocked, causing excessive pressure on the heart." Xiaoting frowned and told Chu Xiang not to move and called the doctor over.
"No, I'm heartbroken." Chu Xiang said, his right hand already wrapped around nurse Xiaoting's slender waist at some point.
"You...bastard." Nurse Xiaoting went up to Meishan angrily and tried to slap her again.
Chu Xiang exerted his strength and brought the person into his arms. Their chests were close to each other, and their faces were facing each other. The palms raised in the air could not fall down. The female nurse was shocked and panicked. She put her hands on the floor and said nervously: "Let me go, the doctor will be here."
When Nurse Xiaoting spoke, her body was shaking a little nervously. Her chest pressed against Chu Xiang, which made Chu Xiang a little fanciful. The scent of her body made Chu Xiang intoxicated. He couldn't help but kiss Nurse Xiaoting's forehead. For a moment, he let go of the panicked nurse Xiaoting.
Nurse Xiaoting was frightened and angry. She got up in panic, hurriedly arranged her clothes, and helped Chu Xiang pull down his clothes to avoid being seen. Her face under the mask might have been as red as a ripe apple. The base of the ears are all red.
Soon the doctor came over. He was Chu Xiang's attending doctor. He checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Chu Xiang. The two of them gently helped Chu Xiang up and lay back on the bed.
"I know you don't want to lie in bed all the time, but if you want to get better quickly, don't move around, rest in peace and recover, and jump as you like when you're ready." The doctor's tone was very gentle, as if he didn't notice the embarrassment between the two of them. He told Xiaoting to take care of Chu Xiang and left.
"Come here." After the doctor left, Chu Xiang said to nurse Xiaoting in a commanding tone.
"What for?" Nurse Xiaoting asked with eyes wide open, looking a bit bluffing.
"But come here, I'm going to fall again." Chu Xiang said, not expecting that he would act rogue to a woman.
Nurse Xiaoting's expression changed and she walked carefully to the bed.
"Come here more."
Nurse Xiaoting moved forward one centimeter.
"Am I a poisonous snake and beast, are you so afraid of me?" Chu Xiang sighed.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I still have a lot of things to do." Nurse Xiaoting tried her best to look solemn.
"The breath on your body smells very comfortable, okay, just stay next to me?" Chu Xiang said seriously looking at the bright eyes of the female nurse.
Nurse Xiaoting didn't answer. She got up and packed her things. After packing her things, she took a chair and sat down, just like a wife taking care of her sick husband, sitting by the bed.
Chu Xiang didn't speak, and the ward became quiet, only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
"Have you ever been outside?" Chu Xiang suddenly asked, reaching out to hold Xiaoting's delicate hand.
"No." Xiaoting said, avoiding Chu Xiang's hands without leaving any trace.
"Are all people studying for Ph.D.'s like you?" Chu Xiang asked with a smile.
After a while, Xiaoting replied: "No."
"Have you ever been in love?"
After being startled for a moment, Xiaoting said: "No."
Chu Xiang laughed: "What do you usually do in your free time?"
"I'm not free." Xiaoting said with some embarrassment.
"Is studying for a PhD so busy?"
"I studied for a doctorate in medicine, and also did postgraduate studies in genetics and molecular science."
Chu Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."
"What do you understand?" Xiaoting asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
"I envy you very much." Chu Xiang said, quickly changing the topic.
After being stunned for a while, Xiaoting said quietly: "I envy you too."
"No, you can't envy me." Chu Xiang shook his head.
Xiaoting didn't speak. She suddenly knew that Chu Xiang would continue talking.
"Your world is beautiful, but my world is full of blood, cruelty, death and the ugliness of human nature. We are not from the same world. Your innocence makes me want to be close to you, but people like me will only bring you... Come to doom, being near me will expose you to harm in this dark world.”
Silence fell in the room. After a while, Xiaoting said, "I can learn to protect myself." As soon as the words came out, she felt that something was different in her heart. She was no longer just curious, but wanted to explore this man. What makes a difference.
Chu Xiang felt the difference, sighed, and said slowly: "Before, there was a girl who always sat next to me like you. I said: It's dangerous to be around me."
She said: I am not afraid of danger.
I said: Then you have to become stronger.
She said: OK.
I said: It is difficult to be strong.
She said: I'm not afraid.
I said: There is great terror and great power between life and death. Only by experiencing life and death can we be truly powerful.
She said: OK. "
"Do you know what happened to her in the end?"
