Chapter 809: Suffering for Her, a Major Discovery (Part 2)
lounge.
Jiang Fuyue knocked on the door, and then a low voice of "Come in" came from inside.
She pushed the door open and walked in.
The man was wearing a shirt and a lab coat, and the silver mask on his face lost a bit of its coldness in the sunlight.
"You've come just in time, I..."
"Have you ever taken anyone into a firefight?"
The two spoke at the same time and were stunned at the same time.
Jiang Fuyue: "I asked, you just came back from the border crossing of Chikebi."
The man stared at her with a pair of dark eyes. Hearing the words, he seemed to let out a sigh, but it seemed as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah, just got back." He confessed.
Jiang Fuyue's suspicions were further confirmed, but she still found it unbelievable: "You went to the resettlement camp?!"
The man nodded. "That's why I asked you to come here. I've already brought the sample back, so you don't have to make another trip."
Jiang Fuyue looked at him intently.
His clear eyes and brows revealed a variety of emotions including scrutiny, analysis, and speculation.
"Why?"
"My superiors are worried about your safety and sent me to collect samples." He said in a businesslike tone.
Jiang Fuyue frowned: "Then why did you hide it from me? Why are you telling me now?"
"You didn't ask."
“…”
X: "There are a total of 569 samples, all labeled and sent to cold storage. In addition, the first batch of vaccines is almost finished, and the second batch of vaccines has been delivered to the base. You will join the returning trucks at noon today and bring all the samples back to the base."
He arranged everything clearly.
Jiang Fuyue got what he wanted easily without taking any risk.
"Why?" It was still these three words, stubborn and persistent.
The man looked away, refusing to meet her gaze, and said in a deep voice, "This is an order!"
So there is no need to thank him, nor do you need to feel that you owe him anything.
Jiang Fuyue understood, but the more this happened, the more suspicious she felt.
"Have we... known each other before?"
The man's pupils shrank slightly, but fortunately he half-closed his eyelids to cover up his momentary loss of composure.
He said coldly, "It's getting late. Go get ready and leave at 11 o'clock sharp."
Jiang Fuyue: "Aren't you going back with me?"
"No, there are other tasks."
The man turned his face away, looking unwilling to talk more. Jiang Fuyue could only suppress his suspicion and turned away.
Not long after she left, a middle-aged doctor came hurriedly with a medicine box, forgetting to knock on the door.
"Doctor, I heard you were injured?"
Xie Dingyuan was leaning back in a chair, taking a nap with his eyes closed. His lips were pale, one hand supporting his forehead, while the other hand hung unnaturally on his leg.
If you look closely, you will find that the hand is shaking uncontrollably.
Xie Dingyuan opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue in them: "Don't be nervous, it's just a small problem."
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, but when he cut open the sleeve and saw the bright red stain, he almost cursed.
This is called a "small problem"?
The blood was still bright red, and it was obvious that it was still oozing out, and it hadn't stopped at all!
Xie Dingyuan: "It's a shrapnel scrape. I checked it, and it's quite deep. Fortunately, it didn't damage the nerves. I think it'll need a few stitches. Get the tools ready."
“…”Are you a doctor, or am I a doctor?
"Also, don't tell anyone else about this."
"But the medical report..."
"Just write it as a simple scratch."
The doctor sighed. Faced with the patient's assertiveness, he could only reluctantly agree: "Okay then."
But he didn't understand why he had to hide it from his superiors?
Of course I have to keep it a secret.
There was no approval process, nor any orders from superiors. These were all excuses fabricated by Xie Dingyuan to delay Jiang Fuyue.
He was reluctant to let her take the risk, but he couldn't stop her, so he had to make the trip for her.
So, the higher-ups don’t know.
If the news of his injury gets out, then everything will be exposed.
Xie Dingyuan recalled the attack last night. Although he escaped unscathed in the end, he still felt scared when he thought about it.
If Jiang Fuyue were to go...
The consequences are unimaginable!
At this moment, the man was extremely glad that he was the one who went and was injured.
…
The sun is getting higher.
Nearing eleven o'clock, several empty trucks were already parked on the road, lined up in a row, ready to set off at any time.
Jiang Fuyue sat in the SUV at the back, accompanied by Zhong Ziang and Yi Ci.
"Why are you leaving so soon? I thought you would stay for a few more days." Zhong Ziang was stunned when he first received the order, and he hasn't fully reacted yet.
Yi Ci glanced over and said, "Why? You sound like you're very sorry?"
"Ahem!" He coughed lightly. "I wanted to go to the firing zone to see what it was like, but I can't go."
Yi Ci: "The firing zone isn't for you to play around in, so why are you so active?"
"You know nothing! The flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder, that's what passion is all about!"
“…”You little brat, go take a shower and go to bed.
Zhong Ziang asked Jiang Fuyue again: "Will we come again after we go back?"
"have no idea."
You will only come if you have a need to.
At eleven o'clock sharp, the team set off on time.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but look back.
She herself couldn't explain what she wanted to see.
Yi Ci stepped on the accelerator and the wind rushed in through the car window, mixed with sand and dust, hitting his face, feeling rough and refreshing.
He shouted, "Let's go!"
As the car drove away, Jiang Fuyue had to look away.
…
In the lounge.
The middle-aged doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "The remaining shrapnel has been removed, the wound has been cleaned, and the sutures have gone smoothly. As long as there's no fever or infection, there shouldn't be any major problems."
As he said this, he placed the used disposable tools into the tray, then took off his bloodstained gloves and threw them into the medical waste recycling bin.
Xie Dingyuan hummed softly and closed his eyes tiredly.
In order to recover and heal as quickly as possible, he took the initiative to request a reduction in the dose of anesthesia. As a result, he forced himself to endure the pain, sweating profusely, and his face was almost pale.
The doctor packed up and left quietly.
However, this calm did not last long, and soon a "report" was heard.
Xie Dingyuan opened his eyes, left the chair, sat up straight, and put his bandaged hand under the table.
"Come in." The voice was steady, as usual, without any difference in tone.
"Doctor, the team has set off."
"She...Jiang Fuyue is gone?"
"Already left."
"Okay, you go out first."
Xie Dingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s better to leave. Only by returning to the base can we ensure safety.
…
It took Du He nearly eight hours to come from the base, including the time for meals and rest; now it only took six hours to return without any delays.
At sunset, the gates opened wide and trucks drove in one after another.
The off-road vehicle that Jiang Fuyue and the other two were riding in also drove in.
Kaza came to pick him up personally: "How's it going? Is everything going well?"
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but look behind him, but didn't find the person she wanted to see.
Kaza's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't offer any further advice. He just said, "You've been exhausted from the journey. I'll have someone take you back to your residence to rest."
"No, send the sample to the lab first."
"That's right, do you want my help?"
Jiang Fuyue shook his head, then took thousands of samples directly back to the laboratory.
Zhong Ziang and Yi Ci also left immediately after that, as they still had to report the situation to their superiors.
During the few days that Jiang Fuyue was away, a thick layer of dust accumulated on the table. She didn't bother to clean it and went straight into the closed laboratory with the samples.
That night, Jiang Fuyue left and returned to her residence near dawn.
After washing off the dust and fatigue of the past few days and changing into clean clothes, she lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.
The conditions at the base were not good, but they were much better than the prefabricated houses in Duhe.
Humans are truly amazing animals. No matter how harsh the environment is, they will slowly force themselves to adapt.
Just like Yi Ci and Zhong Ziang, the former pride of the world, who now eat the roughest meals, live in the most humble houses, yet still smile with satisfaction.
Before going to bed, Jiang Fuyue turned off the lights, closed his eyes, and suddenly a silver mask flashed through his mind.
In her dream, she seemed to see Xie Dingyuan.
But he was facing away from her, wearing a white lab coat with his shirt collar sticking out.
Finally, he turned around to face him, but that face was wearing a silver mask, exactly the same as Dr. X!
Jiang Fuyue suddenly woke up.
He raised his hand and wiped it, his forehead was covered in sweat.
Xie Dingyuan and...X?
…
The next day she got up early and went into the laboratory. She didn't come out until ten o'clock in the evening. She had someone deliver lunch and dinner to her.
The same thing happened on the third day.
A week passed in a blink of an eye. After testing thousands of samples, Jiang Fuyue discovered two previously unrecorded mutant strains, which she named P1 and P2.
