Chapter 386 Crystal Core Rocket Launcher
The two waited for a while, and Song Qin pushed the still unconscious He Mei out of the operating room, "There is a healing psychic here, and all the injuries on your body have recovered. It's best for you to stay in the hospital for another day and observe the situation."
"In addition, there may be blood clots and lochia discharged in the next few days. Family members should pay attention and try to prevent the mother from catching a cold. Activities should also be moderate. She has poor physical fitness, so she should pay attention to nutrition."
Dong Hongyuan listened to what Song Qin said, nodded, and pushed the person back to the temporary ward.
Li Zhuang patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the bag he brought, "Inside are baby milk powder, clothes, quilts and other things. If you don't know how to use them, go ask someone."
"Thanks, Brother Zhuang," said Dong Hongyuan.
"I'll come to see you tomorrow." Li Zhuang waved with his back to him and left the hospital.
Dong Hongyuan had seen enough of the wrinkled red monkey, so he went to zip up the bag on the ground. When the zipper opened, a handful of crystal cores on it caught his eye first.
He was silent for a moment, then quietly put away the crystal core.
He Mei was awakened by the cry of a baby, weak and powerless. She frowned and touched her belly, then felt the flatness of her palm and woke up with a start.
Under the dim light, Dong Hongyuan was being taught by the nurse how to hold a baby. "Raise your head a little higher and shake it slightly. I see the production date of this baby formula is expired. Are you sure you dare to give it to him?"
"Sure." Dong Hongyuan was not sure about the milk powder, but he knew that there would be no problem with what Li Zhuang brought.
"One spoonful of milk powder with 30 milliliters of warm water. This needs to be brewed with warm water. Remember the ratio. If you have a thermostatic kettle, just adjust the temperature to 45 degrees. In winter, it's higher, about 55 degrees. If you don't have this, you have to try it yourself. Stretch out your hand and I'll give you a try. Put a drop on the inside of your arm. Here, do you feel it?"
"It's this temperature. If it's too high, babies will get scalded easily. If it's too low, it's too cold and they will get sick easily. Nowadays, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, so try to avoid getting sick."
The nurse kept chattering while Dong Hongyuan muttered silently, as if reciting something. The big guy clumsily stuffed the bottle into the baby's mouth in his arms and said, "Don't cry, little baby."
After giving the instructions, the middle-aged nurse left yawning, not forgetting to remind him, "If you stop crying, put you back in the incubator."
"Okay." Dong Hongyuan's eyes never left the red monkey in his arms.
After feeding the baby and coaxing him to sleep and putting him back into the incubator, Dong Hongyuan was about to wash the bottle when he saw the woman on the bed woke up.
Dong Hongyuan put down the bottle in his hand, took out an insulated lunch box from the bag on the ground, opened a layer of stewed cabbage with meat, and added two large steamed buns.
There are healing abilities for those who have special abilities. Even after childbirth, there is no such thing as eating after passing gas. He Mei nodded and wanted to sit up, but she didn't have the strength.
Dong Hongyuan took two steps closer and picked her up with one hand. He Mei's body stiffened reflexively, and it took a while for her to relax after he let go.
She had no strength in her hands and couldn't even hold the chopsticks, let alone eat.
Dong Hongyuan broke the steamed bun into pieces and soaked it in the vegetables, then fed her spoonful by spoonful.
Supplies were limited on the Oil Island, and even with the feeding from Yueban Bay, there was no diversity in the diet. He Mei hadn't eaten stir-fried dishes with plenty of seasoning for a long time, so she almost wolfed it down, finishing the meal in a short while.
Dong Hongyuan grabbed the person and stuffed him back into the quilt without saying a word, then took the lunch box and the bottle and left the room. From beginning to end, they did not have much communication.
He Mei has experienced this kind of silence for almost two years and has long been accustomed to it.
But at this moment, she felt extremely flustered.
She was so weak after giving birth that she fell asleep before Dong Hongyuan came back.
When she woke up again, she was fine. After checking her, Song Qin reminded them of some precautions and informed them that the adult could be discharged from the hospital, but the child still needed to be kept in an incubator under the guidance of the hospital for at least half a month.
Without saying a word, Dong Hongyuan brought the few things in the rental house to the hospital and kept an eye on the child at all times.
Dong Hongyuan neatly arranged the ward. He Mei stood by the window like an outsider, waiting for him to finish cleaning. After feeding the child several times, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I leave with the people from Kyoto Base?"
She clutched her coat tightly with both hands, as nervous as a criminal awaiting trial, but she felt she had done nothing wrong.
Dong Hongyuan's hand, which was making the bed, paused for a moment without even turning his head, and said, "The doctor said that you just gave birth, so it's best for you to take a rest."
"I'm fine now," He Mei said quickly.
Dong Hongyuan stopped what he was doing and turned to look at He Mei. The man's tall figure made He Mei feel timid. She unconsciously moved back and leaned against the window sill.
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Dong Hongyuan's dark eyes showed no expression.
He Mei kept nodding her head - this man was her nightmare.
"Okay." Dong Hongyuan turned to observe the child in the incubator and said after a long while, "If you leave, don't ever come back."
He Mei did not respond. She watched Dong Hongyuan pick up the thermos to get water, and for a moment she didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong.
She had seen women being tortured on the oil island, who were forced to do anything by those men every day. She couldn't tell whether she was fortunate or unfortunate. They sent her to Dong Hongyuan for protection, and she safely escaped their twisted desires.
But the pain of being forced in those dark nights, being treated without any respect, and being tortured all day long made her feel fear every time she saw this man.
You can leave...
The confused future made her feel lost again - the world was changing too fast, leaving her no chance to adapt.
**
When the people on the Oil Island were notified that they could leave, about thirty of them chose to stay, and the rest boarded the departing freighter without hesitation. Unexpectedly, among those who chose to leave, none of them were willing to stay at the Yueban Bay base.
The base gave them 100 kilograms of rice each as compensation. After receiving the supplies, they couldn't wait to leave with the Kyoto team.
After visiting the entire base, Lu Xiao chose to return with Zhao Qiang, and Lu Weiyi brought people to see him off.
"Given the situation in Kyoto, we can't be away for a long time. Even if Lao Zhao has upgraded, he can't stay in seclusion for more than a month. If we delay any longer and he's exposed, we might be tested and blocked on the way."
"Then let Chief Inspector Zhao go first, and you can stay for a while." In today's world, it feels like time is not enough to stay with your loved ones all day long, not to mention that they are separated from each other and have only been reunited for a few days. Lu Weiyi and Lu Xi are a little reluctant to leave.
Zhuang Mingxu was the first to shake his head, "It's better for us to go together. The zombies outside are upgrading too fast, and we will be even more worried if they separate. If we delay any further, it will be even more difficult to travel when winter comes."
"Yes, it's easier to do it together," Lu Xiao affirmed.
He rubbed Lu Weiyi's hair, his eyes full of admiration, "Xiaoyi, you manage the base very well. I see that it is very great to create a paradise in this world and protect the people. Your uncle is proud of you. If your mother and grandfather were still alive, they would definitely be proud of you too."
"Xiaoxi is also very capable. I heard from your brother that you are involved in many research projects. Thank you for your brother's trust in you and providing you with this platform. You also need to help your brother to protect the base. Only when you brothers work together can there be a better future."
Lu Xi nodded seriously, "Dad, when you don't want to work anymore, come here and I will take care of you in your old age. My bonus is very high."
"Haha, okay, I'll come when I can't do it anymore," Lu Xiao laughed heartily.
"Brother Lu, we didn't drink together this time. When you have time, come to Kyoto and we can drink together the good wine that I have hidden." Zhao Qiang waved at them.
"It's a deal"
They came with fully loaded trucks, and did the same when they left. Not only did Zhuang Mingxu let them take away all the salt stored in the base, he also took all the base's psychics out hunting several times and asked their team's water psychics to help condense an ice storage in the entire truck bed.
The residents of the oil island who chose to leave took a total of four trucks. Each person was promised 100 kilograms of rice. Lu Xiao decided to leave for Lu Weiyi - there were many wood-type mutants in Kyoto, so it was not difficult to give birth to them. Instead, it was a big pressure on them and the journey was also difficult.
Everyone got on the bus without stopping, ready to embark on a new life.
He Mei stood blankly at the side of the bridge. Dong Hongyuan stood silently on one side. He waited until the cars drove out one by one before he spoke, "You sit with them, they will take care of you on the way, and then they will take you directly to the Kyoto base. The bag you bring contains thick clothes and some crystal cores, which will be regarded as buying out your relationship with Xiaobao."
The golden eagle who had been entrusted by Li Zhuang heard this and glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye. He was about to move a little further away to give the two some space to say goodbye, when he heard Dong Hongyuan say calmly, "He Mei, look forward and don't look back."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the base, without any intention of staying.
He Mei stared at his back in a daze, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.
As the huge convoy set off, Zhao Qiang waved goodbye to them. Lu Xiao, who stayed behind at the end, hugged the two families, turned around and strode away.
**
Not long after Lu Xiao left, news came from the weapons research and development laboratory that Zhao Changming had developed the first crystal core rocket launcher, which could be used in conjunction with tanks and armored vehicles and had a longer range than a pursuit gun.
This time it was installed directly on the repaired tank and tested directly on the South Island.
Just by looking at Zhao Changming's arrogant expression, one can imagine the result of the experiment. As expected, it was very successful.
When returning to the laboratory, Zhao Changming made a request for the first time. He wanted to go back and see his daughter Zhao Qianqian.
"Of course, if the project is completed ahead of schedule, you will have... two days of vacation." Zhuang Mingxu obviously wanted to say something shorter, but Zhao Changming's expression changed too obviously. For capable scientific researchers, he still maintained a friendly relationship appropriately, even though their entire base was racing against time.
Zhuang Mingxu asked Lin Yimu to find a skilled person from the base army to serve as a personal bodyguard to escort Zhao Changming back to Beidao.
