Chapter 153 Mutants
The atmosphere became increasingly ambiguous. If she stayed here, no one knew what would happen.
Huo Jinzhi waved his hand, not caring about her attitude, and hugged her to his side, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Considering Huo Jinzhi's health, Chen Zhuyi didn't struggle too hard. He hit him lightly with his elbow where he wasn't injured and scolded him, "What are you going to do?"
"I just want you to stay with me a little longer." Huo Jinzhi did not let go even after being hit. Instead, he exhaled a breath of foul air and rubbed her gently with affection.
The attitude of complete attachment made Chen Zhuyi feel a little softer in her heart. She sighed secretly. In the end, there was no violent resistance. Huo Jinzhi fell into a deep sleep in the familiar breath.
Maintaining the posture of half leaning in Huo Jinzhi's arms, Chen Zhuyi slowly traced his eyebrows and eyes. His handsome face, which had only shown a bit of softness in front of her before, was completely relaxed.
I don’t know how long it has been since I had a good rest. There is only a dark blue color under my eyelids, and I look pitiful.
When going out on a mission, there are always times when you can't take care of things. Chen Zhuyi felt even more pity in his heart, and he fell asleep unknowingly in such an environment.
When she woke up again, it was completely dark. She didn't know how long it had been before the door was quietly opened and the incandescent light shone in. Chen Zhu instinctively covered her eyes.
"I asked you to come and meet someone, but who would have thought you would relax like that and actually fall asleep!" Zheng Linger muttered dissatisfiedly, not daring to raise her voice too loudly. She glanced at Huo Jinzhi cautiously and saw that his face was rosy and he looked much better than before, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How long have I slept?" Chen Zhuyi's voice was also very soft.
But Huo Jinzhi, who had been in dangerous areas for a long time, was already disturbed. He opened his eyes instantly, grabbed Chen Zhuyi's waist with his arms, and pulled him into his arms. There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he looked directly at Zheng Linger.
Zheng Linger was frightened by Huo Jinzhi's unexpected treatment. She stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
It was Chen Zhu who realized something was wrong and held Huo Jinzhi's arm: "We are in the hospital now."
In order to wake up Huo Jinzhi, she used some strength in her hands and raised her voice a little. Ye Xumei, who was guarding outside, came over immediately, holding a few still warm meat buns and quickly put them in front of them.
"Now that you're awake, eat something first."
Huo Jinzhi's grip gradually relaxed, his murderous expression dissipated, and he said in a complicated tone, "I'm sorry."
He was alert to his surroundings and would take precautions instantly if anything seemed wrong. He did not intend to target Zheng Linger.
"It doesn't matter. Our relationship has become distant now." Zheng Linger sighed, shaking her head, with a bit of complexity in her eyes. She didn't stay any longer, left the medicine and left.
Chen Zhuyi crawled out of Huo Jinzhi's arms and subconsciously checked the things in her hands. They were all adjuvants to the medicines she mentioned today. It seemed that the people above had discussed it and decided to respect her opinion. That's great!
Not long after, Zheng Mingguo came over with Huo Jinzhi's meal. It was porridge and side dishes. Although it was not rich, it was the most suitable for him.
The two of them wolfed down their meal, and then Chen Zhuyi turned around and left, glaring at Huo Jinzhi shyly.
"Get some rest. We should be able to start the test tomorrow. Several of the senior professors are very interested in what you've proposed."
Commander Zhou had been guarding nearby. When he saw Chen Zhu come out, he kindly gave him a few reminders.
For her, this is an opportunity to move up.
Chen Zhuyi knew it all, but she had rested with Huo Jinzhi during the day, and now she couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed. Ye Xumei thought she was nervous and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's okay even if she said something wrong. We still have the right to question."
"Maybe I slept too long during the day, so I can't fall asleep now. I want to go out for a walk. You should have a good rest." Chen Zhu got up and walked outside quickly, with a bit of laziness in his black eyes.
This is the military hospital, and not everyone can come in casually. Chen Zhu walked out, walking on the main road, not daring to look left or right, with a serious look on his face, but he saw an old man not far away.
He was still wearing a hospital gown. I don't know where he ran out from. He was covered in dust and was digging something on the ground. This area was full of herbs, and they were growing quite well.
"Be careful, you are not in good health, so don't work so hard." When Chen Zhu saw that he was about to fall, he immediately walked over, extended his hand to support him, and prevented him from sitting on the ground in embarrassment.
Even after being helped, the old man did not show any sign of gentleness. Instead, he pushed Chen Zhuyi's hand aside and carefully dug the soil without even using any tools, simply digging with his hands.
"Your hands won't be able to bear digging like this, right?" Chen Zhu, upon seeing the scarlet blood on the old man's fingertips, quickly offered, "What do you want? I'll help you dig it out."
This large patch of herbs was connected by their roots. Seeing the old man's painstaking search, she guessed what he was going to dig: "Are you looking for mutants?"
The old man wanted to scold her, but when he heard what Chen Zhuyi said, he was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the clean little girl with obvious suspicion on his face. He asked warily: "How do you know?"
Being stared at like that, even Chen Zhuyi paused for a moment before explaining with a smile, "Because I've seen variants of this herb before. It doesn't just grow if you plant enough of it. It needs to be combined with different plants and rely on environmental changes."
As he spoke, Chen Zhuyi squatted opposite the old man. His tender little white hands were instantly covered with a lot of mud. He continued to dig down along the place where he was digging. Soon, he dug up what the old man needed.
"This should be what you want to dig out, right?"
The round little clods of earth were pure black, and there was nothing different about them. The old man's eyes gradually became disappointed, and he sighed again. Suddenly, he remembered what Chen Zhuyi had said, and hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Can you help me cultivate plants?"
"I also have a question... Are you Professor Zheng?" When Chen Zhu saw his hopeful expression, he paused for a moment before taking the initiative to express his curiosity.
She knew something about this mutant, and it was precisely because it had caused a shameful joke in the academic world that she wanted to confirm the identity of the person who came.
