Chapter 412: Little Flower on the Mountain Wall
Lu Su was reading some information for research when he suddenly received an emergency call. He rushed over to take a look at the soldier's condition and frowned as he asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"Doctor Lu, Liu Gui violated the regulations and stood guard at the sentry post for seven consecutive days, and this is what happened." said the officer.
"Standing on sentry duty for seven consecutive days? He's trying to save himself?" Lu Su was slightly startled when she heard this. She stepped forward to carefully examine Liu Gui's injuries and asked in disbelief, "These should be scratches, right? There are indeed some festering areas, but..."
The more Lu Su looked, the more strange it seemed to her. The injuries on Liu Gui's body looked like some signs of a rash, but it was obvious that the rash was no longer ulcerated and had shown signs of improvement. If it was really a rash, it shouldn't be like this.
"We happened to meet Doctor Xiao Zhou before. Doctor Xiao Zhou injected some medicine into Liu Gui at the sentry post, which helped Liu Gui's condition improve. He is much better now..." The officer recounted what had happened before.
"Doctor Xiao Zhou? Which Doctor Xiao Zhou?" Lu Su felt a little unbelievable after hearing this.
She had studied it for so long but still hadn't found a way to cure the rash. Once it broke out, the patient would be fatal. According to what they said, Liu Gui had stayed there for seven consecutive days and was not dead. He was lucky. His condition at the time was undoubtedly an outbreak of the rash, which should have turned into blood soon.
According to their description, Liu Gui was almost dead, and even if Lu Su was there at the time, it would be impossible to save Liu Gui.
But the doctor Zhou they were talking about only gave Liu Gui one injection, and Liu Gui showed obvious improvement. Now there is almost no sign of the rash. This made Lu Su a little unbelievable.
"It's Dr. Zhou Wen. His ID says he's an intern," the officer replied.
Lu Su thought about the medical team members in her mind, but they did not have such an intern in their medical team. There were indeed a few new interns this year, but none of them had the surname Zhou.
"Come in for a check-up first." Lu Su asked Liu Gui to come in. Liu Gui could walk on his own now, but the scratches on his face were quite serious.
Lu Su examined Liu Gui and treated his wounds, but he became more and more surprised.
Liu Gui's entire body was covered in ulcerated red rashes, indicating that the attack was indeed very severe. Liu Gui and the others must have been correct, but the rashes showed no signs of further decay and were instead slowly improving.
After Lu Su's examination, Liu Gui's rash is almost gone now. Even without treatment, it will be healed in a few days. Only the festering wounds need to be treated, otherwise scars will be left all over his body.
However, the injuries Liu Gui inflicted himself were more serious, and it would probably take a long time to heal.
"Are you sure that the intern you met is called Zhou Wen?" Lu Su asked again.
The officer replied confidently, "It was Doctor Zhou Wen, for sure. I examined him very carefully."
"That's strange." Lu Su really wanted to meet Zhou Wen and ask him what he had injected into Liu Gui, but she couldn't remember any such person in the treatment team.
Back in her office, Lu Su pulled out the personnel files of the medical team and took a look. There was indeed no intern named Zhou Wen, not even one with the surname Zhou.
"This is really strange. Could it be that they are really lucky and met a god?" Lu Su wondered to himself.
Zhou Wen was less than two hundred meters away from the pass of Qizi Mountain. With his eyesight, he could clearly see whether there were any patterns carved on the mountain wall, so he did not move forward.
Zhou Wen kept looking up at the mountain wall. After a while, he didn't find the little hand pattern, but he saw a strange little flower.
The small flower grows on the wall of Qizi Mountain, just over ten centimeters high. The leaves are black, but the small flower is white. The black and white are clearly the same color as the stones of Qizi Mountain.
The small flower grew alone on the stone wall, and no other plants could be seen within a few hundred meters.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Zhou Wen remembered that he was taught in school that there are many terrifying plant-based creatures in the dimensional field. Maybe the little flower in front of him is a terrifying plant-based dimensional creature.
So when Zhou Wen saw the little flower, his nerves immediately tensed up, not because of excitement, but because of vigilance.
The abilities of plant-based creatures are often quite special, and many animal-based dimensional creatures rely on force to win. Zhou Wen is not so afraid of these.
However, most of the plant-based dimensional creatures did not win by force. From what he had learned in school, he knew that many flower-based dimensional creatures killed people with the fragrance of their flowers. There were also some fungus-based dimensional creatures that could emit spores so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye. These spores entered the human body through the respiratory tract, mouth, nose, or even pores, parasitizing on the human body, treating the human body as nutrients and sucking it to death.
Zhou Wen wore the Di Ting earrings and listened to the sound of air flowing. He did not find any tiny particles flowing from the small flower, so he felt a little relieved.
Although he didn't know whether the little flower was a plant-type dimensional creature, Zhou Wen still decided to stay away from it. It's better to be cautious. He didn't want to die here inexplicably.
He turned around and walked in another direction, wanting to stay away from Xiaohua, but Zhou Wen had only taken a few steps when he heard a voice coming from Xiaohua.
"Can you hear me?" It was a woman's voice. Although the sun had not yet set and the sky was not too dark, Zhou Wen was still startled.
Turning around to look at the place where the sound came from, I saw that there was no one there, nor any dimensional creatures. There was still only a small flower growing on the cliff.
"Can you hear me?" The voice came from the small flower again. What was even more strange was that the small flower actually turned its direction and pointed it towards Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen kept silent, staring at Xiaohua, but he was slowly backing away.
Zhou Wen didn't want to know why this strange little flower could speak. He just hoped that this little flower would not cause any trouble. He was not sure if he could deal with it.
"Why do you want to leave? I just want to chat with you and do nothing else." The woman's voice came from the small flower again.
"I don't believe you. Lines like this often appear in movies and TV shows. Many men say this when they trick women into getting a room." Zhou Wen secretly complained in his heart, but he still backed away and did not answer Xiaohua.
When Zhou Wen was a child, his grandfather told him a story. It said that if you were walking in the middle of the night and heard a stranger calling your name from behind, you must not answer or turn around to look, otherwise you would die.
