Chapter 32 Awakening
Ji Ruwen looked around. At this moment, he seemed to be in a room similar to a laboratory, and one of the walls was one-way glass.
There was still a needle inserted in Ji Ruwen's wrist. He sat up and took a moment to calm down before finally remembering what happened before he fell into a coma.
He seemed to have been bitten by a giant mosquito.
Then……
"Meebo!"
Ji Ruwen widened his eyes.
Yes, he is looking for Mibao!
Thinking of this, Ji Ruwen quickly pulled off the needle on the back of his hand, and then lifted the quilt covering his body...
Uh, why is he naked?
Ji Ruwen was stunned for two seconds and quickly covered the quilt back.
At the same time, the people outside heard the beeping sound coming from the laboratory and immediately realized that the person in the room had woken up.
"Go inform Captain Liang and tell him that the man they brought back has woken up."
The man in the white coat opened the door and walked into the laboratory while giving instructions to his assistant.
When Ji Ruwen saw someone coming in, he immediately looked at the other person: "Hello, I..."
"Hello, Mr. Ji." The man in the white coat smiled at Ji Ruwen. "I know you must have a lot of questions right now. Don't worry, I can slowly answer them for you. What do you want to ask?"
Ji Ruwen: "...Can you give me some clothes?"
He was really not used to talking to people naked.
Although there is a quilt covering.
"...Ah, I forgot about that." The man in the white coat was silent for a second before continuing to smile, "Wait a moment, I'll get you some clothes."
After saying that, the man in the white coat quietly left the room.
Ten minutes later, Ji Ruwen, wearing a white sweater and black pants, took the hot water handed to him by the man in the white coat.
"I'm sorry, there are no extra clothes here, so I just took one of my own. I hope you don't mind."
Ji Ruwen shook his head: "No, thank you."
Ji Ruwen was very tall and had a good figure. His white coat was a little short, so his ankles were exposed.
Fortunately it’s not too cold here.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Yu Tao, majoring in biology and minoring in medicine. I used to be a professor at University A—I remember you graduated from University A."
Professor Yu Tao is in his forties, has a handsome appearance and is very polite.
Ji Ruwen recalled carefully and finally found the information about Yu Tao in the corner of his memory.
Because he studied finance in college, he didn't have much contact with Yu Tao.
"It's Professor Yu." Ji Ruwen suddenly realized. Perhaps because they were both from University A, he had a better impression of this professor. "Can I ask what happened to me? And where is this place?"
Yu Tao seemed to have guessed that Ji Ruwen would ask this question, so he smiled and began to explain to him.
"A month ago, you were bitten by a mutant mosquito, but you didn't turn into a zombie right away, so Captain Liang and the others brought you back..."
"Wait, a month ago!?"
Ji Ruwen almost choked on the water, but he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim in shock.
Because I was so frightened, my voice was a little cracked.
Yu Tao nodded: "Yes, you have been in a coma for a month. But don't worry, your physical indicators are all normal, which is exactly what I want to say..."
"One month..."
However, Ji Ruwen didn't listen to Yu Tao's words at all. He repeated them with a dull look on his face.
"It's been a month... How could I have been lying down for a month..."
Yu Tao felt that the man in front of him seemed a little crazy. He couldn't help but reach out and pat Ji Ruwen on the shoulder: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji?"
"It's been a month... I... I..."
Ji Ruwen was completely immersed in his own world.
Yu Tao: "..."
Well, it seems that we can’t continue communicating for the time being.
“Knock, knock.”
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the room. Yu Tao turned around and saw Liang Shaoqing and his team member Bai Qi walking in.
"Professor Yu."
Liang Shaoqing nodded and greeted Yu Tao.
Bai Qi also waved his hand, then walked directly to Ji Ruwen and patted Ji Ruwen on the shoulder: "Brother, do you still remember me?"
Ji Ruwen: "It's been a month... Is Mibao still alive... How could I sleep for so long..."
Baiqi: “…”
This guy is crazy, what is he mumbling about?
"Captain, is he still asleep?" Bai Qi couldn't help but look at Liang Shaoqing.
Liang Shaoqing looked at Bai Qi speechlessly: "I think you haven't woken up yet."
As he spoke, he walked up to Ji Ruwen and said, "Mr. Ji, are you worried about your daughter?"
Ji Ruwen finally stopped his crazy mumbling and looked up at Liang Shaoqing.
He remembered Liang Shaoqing and Bai Qi.
A month ago, they saved themselves.
"Do you have any news about my daughter?" Ji Ruwen looked at Liang Shaoqing expectantly.
However, Liang Shaoqing shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you."
Ji Ruwen's eyes dimmed again.
"Oh, don't be like this. Your daughter must still be alive. You can just look for her slowly." Bai Qi couldn't help but comfort her.
Ji Ruwen looked at Bai Qi: "How do you know my daughter is still alive?"
Baiqi: “…”
He doesn't know.
Isn't this just a casual consolation?
Finally, Ji Ruwen digested the situation for a while and calmed down.
Then I learned the whole story from Yu Tao and the other two.
He was brought back to the imperial capital by Liang Shaoqing's team, but the situation in the imperial capital was not good, so he quickly followed the main force to the nearest safe base.
This is the oasis base where we are now, located near Taihang Mountains.
There are fewer zombies here in the early stages, so they are easier to clear. At the same time, it is located at a high point, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it easier to find traces of zombies and other monsters.
Most importantly, there is a large underground shelter here to accommodate survivors.
Therefore, a safe base was established.
In addition to here, security bases have also been established in other parts of the country, such as the Southern Base and the Sky Eye Base in the south, and a Northern Base further north.
"...We are now in the shelter. This is where Professor Yu and several other scientists are conducting experiments," Liang Shaoqing explained. "And your situation is very special."
Ji Ruwen frowned: "Because I was infected but didn't turn into a zombie?"
"You could say that." Liang Shaoqing nodded. "You're a special case. After we brought you back, you were in an unstable state, on the verge of becoming a zombie at any moment. It wasn't until a week ago that you completely stabilized."
Yu Tao added, "According to my analysis, the zombie mosquito's main purpose is to suck people dry, so its virus is less aggressive—and coupled with your strong desire to survive, you ultimately managed to survive."
After hearing this, Ji Ruwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately... fortunately he is still alive.
Live with self-awareness.
Otherwise...his Mibao would no longer have any family.
