Chapter 25 Doctor "She is not human"

After a long time, the noise around finally calmed down.

The rain washed away the sticky blood on his body, and the ground was splashed with blood. His scattered long hair covered the torn cloth and scratches on his body. Xu An wiped the water from his forehead and was about to pull off the annoying gauze on his eyes when Jie Shuqin's words echoed in his mind.

"Dr. Yin's assessment..."

The blood on her back was still oozing out, and the burning pain was hidden under the rain and her long hair. She carefully tied the gauze again. In the darkness around her, she heard some sighing sounds.

"Isn't this Xu An? How did she get to the ground? I didn't see her when I came down."

"Isn't she banned from ground missions? Is this a blatant provocation to the base? Does the commander know about this?"

"Just now, she actually broke off the alien's head with her bare hands... Now the alien has all run away..."

"Is she...is she human?"

Xu An's ears kept shaking, trying to find the familiar one among the questioning noises.

No...no...neither.

Suddenly, she keenly heard someone calling "Doctor".

Xu An suddenly looked up, but everyone backed away at her action. She paid no attention, trying to determine the direction of the "Doctor" voice. Then, she heard the doctor's voice.

"I'm fine. The machinery is too badly damaged to be repaired..."

Xu An was too lazy to listen to what was said next.

Not her, not Dr. Yin.

Xu An wiped her face irritably. She wanted to tear the damn gauze from her eyes, then find Dr. Yin, grab her hand, and run away from this damn downpour. Dr. Yin was in poor health, and if she got caught in the rain, she'd probably have to lie in those white, blinding-looking boxes for a few more days.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. The noise around her seemed to be getting louder and louder, making her dizzy. Xu An wanted to cover her ears, but was afraid that she could not hear Dr. Yin's location.

The freezing rain slid down her face and into her collar, and her hand was suddenly held by another warm hand.

"Dr. Yin?" She was happy for a second before she realized something was wrong.

The hand was tender and covered with calluses, which showed at first glance that it was the result of excessive practice with firearms.

Xu An pursed his lips, the air pressure around him was low, even the rain seemed unwilling to get too close.

"Xu An, are you okay?" A trembling but worried voice sounded. Xu An raised his head, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Senior, where is Dr. Yin?" A drop of rain slid down the cheek from the gauze, and in an instant, it looked like a tear.

The corners of her lips trembled: "I didn't feel her breath, nor did I hear her voice... Am I too late..."

"No, no! She's there!" Xie Shuqin turned her head and gestured to the terrified crowd, "She's not out of control." Then, she looked at Yin Xiangrong, "Dr. Yin, come and take a look."

"Her body is covered with wounds. Please help her first."

Perhaps seeing that Li Shuqin was fine, the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to get too close to her.

Yin Xiangrong was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Baili Yunle: "You should find a place for everyone to settle down first. Xu An and Feng Lan are not in a stable condition, so we need to check on them separately."

Baili Yunle nodded and immediately led people to collect. Soon, the team temporarily rested in an empty factory.

Xu An was hesitantly pushed by Jie Shuqin. The sounds of fear and disdain around her were clearly audible. After going around in circles, they finally arrived at a relatively closed room and were brought in front of Yin Xiangrong.

Xie Shuqin looked at her and said, "Dr. Yin, Xu An has been looking for you for a long time... Please help her take a look at her injuries first."

"Dr. Yin?" As soon as she finished speaking, Xu An took over. She shook her head and said in a low voice: "No, the breath is wrong, the voice is wrong. Are you... Yin Xiangrong?"

Xie Shuqin was stunned.

Xu An then asked, "Where is Dr. Yin?"

I was used to the sound of heavy rain, so when it got quiet, my ears felt a little uncomfortable.

Yin Xiangrong looked at her silently and sneered: "Xu An, it seems that your old problem has come back again. Do you need me to remind you again?"

"Dr. Yin died a long time ago. You killed him."

Xie Shuqin was stunned.

The surrounding air pressure dropped instantly, accompanied by thunder, and it pressed down heavily.

"She's not dead." Xu An said in a hoarse voice.

Yin Xiangrong hated to see her like this the most. A surge of anger rose in her. She completely ignored the increasingly thick red mist around Xu An and grabbed her collar.

"She's dead!" She coughed a few times because she had squeezed her throat too hard. Yin Xiangrong clenched his hands into fists and slowly let go of Xu An's collar after a few seconds.

She seemed extremely tired, the dark circles on her eyelids conspicuous, even behind her glasses. "You forgot, never mind, I'll tell you. The day the base took off was under a full moon, the bromine mist concentration reached an unprecedented high, and the ground was full of alien species fighting each other. She was still down there..."

Yin Xiangrong trembled a little: "You and she were both staying in the laboratory, surrounded by a sky full of alien species. Later, you sacrificed her and escaped. The entire base expelled her for delaying the base's takeoff time. From then on..."

"Her name will no longer appear in history books or biology journals. No one will remember her, even though she was the pioneer who led humanity to victory in the war against humanity..."

"Perhaps this is the consequence of being the first to stick your head out." She sneered, "But she's clearly a hero, and yet she's left to die in the wilderness..."

Yin Xiangrong raised his head and looked at her with almost pleading eyes, "All I want is the truth. All I want is for you to remember how and why she died. Later, I will make those people pay the price one by one! I never ask for anything else from you! But..."

"But even you forgot."

Xu An shook her head and stepped back, her back hitting the wall heavily. Tears of blood fell from her empty eye sockets. Her lips trembled. She wanted to speak but couldn't. Her heart was beating violently. Those bloody images flashed quickly in her mind. One person after another died in front of her.

"I don't……"

But in his mind, the images of various corpses became clearer and clearer. Those eyes widened with fear, and the pieces of flesh exploded due to the squeezing of supernatural powers... They were all vivid and visible.

The world was dead silent, with only blood and corpses flowing endlessly.

"I didn't mean to forget! I didn't forget!"

"No, Doctor... Doctor, she's not dead. She just fell asleep. She just fell asleep in my arms..."

"I'm going to find her now... I'm going to find her! I..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Jie Shuqin quickly withdrew her arms and hugged her. When they touched, she found that Xu An's body was extremely cold, like ice.

If her lips hadn't been trembling and she hadn't been unconsciously murmuring words like "Doctor" and "She's not dead", Xie Shuqin would have thought she was dead.

"Dr. Yin, my condolences." Although Xie Shuqin didn't understand much, she understood most of it. She looked worried and gently placed Xu An on a clean stretcher before turning around to look at her.

"We were struck by lightning before, and Xu An didn't have protective clothing. I guess there's something wrong with her memory. Doctor..." Xie Shuqin pursed her lips, "Doctor, can you help her take a look at her other injuries first? At least..."

Yin Xiangrong took a deep breath, and after calming down, he slowly approached, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"The loss of a loved one is often a blow that most people find difficult to endure, so your strong reaction is normal..." Xie Shuqin hesitated. "But from what I heard from you, this happened a long time ago... I'm not saying that I want you to let go of your hatred. We are all ordinary people. Only by hating some people and loving others can we become human beings."

"I just think, before you seek revenge, could you please let yourself go, Doctor? You've been feeling guilty about this for 19 years. I have to admit, that's longer than my entire life. I'm shortsighted and can only see things from my own perspective. If I felt guilty about something for my entire life, wouldn't my life be too boring?"

Yin Xiangrong looked at her deeply and said slowly, "I finally understand why Yang Gui values ​​you so much."

"But this is easier said than done." Yin Xiangrong said as he looked at Xu An's wound, "Yang Gui treated you as his own child. He never married in his life, but he was your father and mother. When he died, did you feel any resentment?"

"Of course there are." Xie Shuqin sighed, "But I'm also trying my best. I can't carry a cannon and blow up all the alien species on the ground. But compared to before, I can kill twice as many alien species, sometimes even twice as many. If I keep doing this, sooner or later I will kill all the alien species, and we will return to the ground again. Yang Gui, your death will not be in vain."

"One day, sooner or later, I will erect a monument for him in a place full of flowers. There will be a tree there, with a swing under it and birds flying on it. I will bring his favorite pancakes and some wine, just like the people on Earth. We will sit on the swing, reminisce about the past and drink."

"Doctor, as long as we work hard, everything can be achieved, and the cause of Dr. Yin's death will definitely be revealed."

Xie Shuqin looked at her. When she looked at someone seriously, her eyes were always bright and twinkling, like the stars in the sky, sincere and warm.

Dr. Yin sighed, applied the medicine, looked at Xu An deeply, and dragged a chair to sit next to Li Shuqin.

"No wonder Xu An likes you. You look exactly like her before. I prefer her before to her now."

Xie Shuqin blinked and sat up obediently: "Before Xu An had this accident, I didn't expect her to be so free and easy. Doctor, since everything is fine now, if you are worried, just tell me. I don't think you hate Xu An that much. When you pinched her collar, you still controlled the strength to avoid pulling her wound... Doctor, what kind of person was Xu An before?"

Yin Xiangrong looked at the pattering rain outside the window and opened his mouth: "Xu An...she is not a human."
