Cheng Suming sat at his desk, frowning, looking at the case on the computer screen.
He is already thirty years old this year, and his facial features are still handsome, with cold white skin, deep eyes, square gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, and a clean and tidy white coat on his body. He exudes the abstinence of a man that drives women crazy.
Liao Manman looked at his perfect profile, which was almost like a work of art, with fascination, and sighed in her heart, he was indeed the most handsome and coldest male doctor among all the doctors in Shishan Hospital. Even the little boy sitting opposite him who was receiving treatment kept looking at his face with surprise in his eyes. Why did he get married at such a young age, and avoid any women who showed interest in him like the devil?
Ever since Cheng Su Ming came to work at Shishan Hospital, Liao Man Man, who prides herself on her handsome looks and having dated countless men, believes that there is no man she cannot seduce as long as she wants, has tried every possible means to make the man in front of her fall in love with her.
This made her doubt her figure and appearance, but also made her more courageous.
In the past, she loved to act noble and pitiful, and to act like a spoiled child, acting cute and green tea. She was ambiguous with men, and after arousing their interest, she would play hard to get, and control the men tightly, making them willing to submit to her.
But these methods had no effect on Cheng Su Ming. She could only resort to the most despicable tricks, wearing sexy clothes and acting like she was obsessed with him, in order to attract his attention.
But even so, he still wouldn't even look at her twice. When he occasionally saw her, his eyes revealed a strong disgust, and all the love in her heart would be extinguished with just one sentence.
He said, "Look at yourself in a mirror. You look not even one ten-thousandth as good as my wife. How dare you show up in front of me?"
She felt ashamed, angry, wronged, and jealous. She always wanted to see what his wife looked like to be so charming that no other woman could attract his attention.
It’s a pity that his wife is elusive and has never come to the hospital. She went to his house several times, but found the door locked. Until now, she still doesn’t know what his wife looks like.
"Sister?" The man's pleasant voice brought her back to her senses. She met Cheng Suming's cold eyes and heard him say, "I remember you were transferred from the surgical clinic a month ago. What are you doing with the surgical patients' films? Is your inpatient department very idle?"
The word "big sister" made Liao Manman so angry that she was fuming!
She is only 26 years old this year, young and beautiful with a good figure. The director of Shishan Hospital, many attending doctors, and even several high-ranking military officers are having an affair with her. Everyone is obsessed with her stunning beauty. Only Cheng Suming is blind with his glasses and cannot tell the difference between beauty and ugliness!
Liao Manman took a few deep breaths, controlled her emotions that were about to explode, and handed him the film in her hand with affection and said, "Doctor Cheng, you are so annoying. She is still very young, how can she become an elder sister? This little girl Chen Tiantian, her father is at work, her mother died in the earthquake, and her grandfather who came to take her to see the doctor couldn't understand the procedure film, so he asked me to help him. I am here to help them."
"The film is on the table, you can go now." Cheng Suming said expressionlessly: "Let others do this kind of thing in the future. You should work like a job. Don't forget how you were transferred to the inpatient department."
Liao Manman has relationships with most of the hospital's leadership team, and she has strong professional skills. Even though Cheng Suming knows that she has other intentions, he still can't avoid her.
He endured Liao Manman's harassment for nearly four months, and only last month did he and Sheng Youbin team up to set a trap for her, causing her to make a mistake when preparing surgical instruments in the operating room. Cheng Su Mingci seized the opportunity and threatened the director of Shishan Hospital, who then transferred her to the inpatient department.
The inpatient department is quite far from the outpatient building, and there are quite a few patients hospitalized on a normal day. Liao Manman is too busy with work to handle it, and has very little time to visit Cheng Suming. Cheng Suming finally has some free time.
Of course Liao Manman knew that she was tricked by Cheng Suming into going to the inpatient department. The smile on her face slowly disappeared and she left angrily.
"This woman is really a piece of candy that can't be shaken off. She's so annoying."
Sheng Youbin, who was sitting next to Cheng Suming as a medical assistant and was asking about the patient's condition, looked at Liao Manman's back as she left and couldn't help muttering, "Sister Nan is the best woman in the world besides my mom and my sister. Liao Manman is a slut who can be slept with by anyone, how can she compete with Sister Nan for her."
"I was wondering why Anan asked me to introduce you to a job. It turns out that he wanted you to be my spy and monitor me at all times." Cheng Suming looked at him with a smile.
Sheng Youbin smiled sheepishly: "Sister Nan never asked me to be a spy, I just feel that the world is too chaotic now, people's hearts are easily scattered, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, they cannot break away from the shackles of moral self-esteem and do things without bottom line."
"There aren't many people who are as conscious as you are now. Get to work."
Si Nan stood outside the door and listened to the noise inside. She did not go in to disturb their work, but stood in the corridor waiting for them to finish their work.
"Anan, why are you here?" Cheng Suming, who was coming out of the outpatient department and preparing to go to the operating room for surgery, saw Sinan and hurriedly walked up to her: "How long have you been waiting here? What happened? Why didn't you call me?"
"Nothing, I just missed you and wanted to come see you." Si Nan threw himself into his arms, smelling the unique and refreshing scent on him, and joked, "I came to check on you and see if you have done anything bad behind my back."
Si Nan is a cold and aloof person at heart. She and Cheng Su Ming are always in a normal state when they are outside and do not make any intimate gestures in public areas.
Cheng Su Ming thought that she had heard some rumors about him in the hospital and came here to reveal her identity. He was in a good mood for some reason and couldn't help but curl his lips. He leaned over and kissed Si Nan's red lips a few times, smiling as he said, "I promised you when we got the marriage certificate that I would never betray you. No matter how many times you come to check on me, I will never do anything bad behind your back."
"That's the best." Si Nan looked up at him after he said this, and noticed that there were not many patients around. They were all Cheng Suming's colleagues, and most of them were female nurses and doctors looking at him.
She turned her head with evil intentions, tiptoed and kissed the Adam's apple on Cheng Suming's neck, winked at him and said, "I've checked the room, so I'll let you go. Go and get busy. Remember to get off work early today and come home to cook for me. After dinner and a shower, we..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but the people watching nearby understood and gave her ambiguous looks.
You wouldn't have guessed that Dr. Cheng usually smiles warmly to serious patients in the hospital, but is cold as ice to female patients, female nurses and female doctors who like him. It turns out that he likes this type of woman and is a henpecked husband.
The women who had feelings for him were instantly heartbroken.
That night, Cheng Suming came home from get off work and prepared dinner for Sinan in a flash.
What I made was Sinan’s favorite stir-fried pork with green peppers, spicy cold-mixed zheergen, and two braised pork trotters.
The green peppers were what Si Nan bought from the supermarket before the end of the world and stored in the space. They were the large, non-spicy peppers. When fried, they had only a light green pepper flavor and were not too spicy to be smelled by the neighbors.
Braised pork trotters should be braised before the end of the world and can be eaten after being slightly heated.
It is even simpler to make Houttuynia cordata. Just wash and cut into sections, add seasoning and mix well.
Si Nan was sitting at the dinner table and saw these three dishes. He understood Cheng Suming's thoughts, and while eating, he looked at him with eyes flashing with lust, raised his eyebrows and told him about what he saw Zou Shichu during the day.
Cheng Suming was not surprised and told her that Zou Shichu was now Mrs. Ye's new favorite.
Zou Shichu could send people to investigate his background, and similarly, he could also investigate Zou Shichu's background.
His time working at Shishan Hospital was not in vain. In addition to earning points in salary, the most important thing was that he used his relationships with the patients he had treated to get them rare or scarce medicines at Shishan Hospital for their treatment, making them grateful to him. He thus established a huge intelligence organization network that provided him with all the information he needed.
He knew three months ago that Zou Shichu and Jiang Feifei, that scumbag and bitch, appeared in the base.
Thinking of the pain and grievances Si Nan had suffered, he certainly would not let them have it easy. He used his connections to eliminate the "good" jobs they could do, forcing them into a dead end.
Nowadays, Zou Shichu has become a gigolo, despised and ridiculed by others. Jiang Feifei is coaxed by Zou Shichu into selling her body, and her life is in a muddle.
The two of them had already hit rock bottom without him having to do anything. Living was more painful than death. What could make Si Nan feel happier than this?
"What a retribution!" Si Nan spat out a pig's trotter bone and said in a very good mood: "When this pair of bastards betrayed me, they pretended to be so affectionate. Now they have both fallen to the point of selling their bodies. Tsk tsk, they deserve it! But what is that commander Ye thinking? He has been cuckolded at home, and he doesn't have any thoughts?"
"Mrs. Ye has made great contributions to the position that Commander Ye has reached today and to becoming the head of the Shishan base." Cheng Suming took out a wet tissue for her and handed it to her to wipe her hands. "Mrs. Ye has a distinguished family background and was born in a famous family in Kyoto. She has added a lot of help to him in the Shishan army. Her eldest brother is the head of a military region in Kyoto and is involved in the Ark Project in the Himalayas. I think Commander Ye still has some use for Mrs. Ye, so he is so tolerant of her."
Si Nan finished chewing a pig's foot, wiped the oil off his lips and hands, and listened to him talking about the Ark Project. He wondered, "The country should know about the doomsday warning post I posted two years ago. Now most of the survivors also know the order of natural disasters in that post, so they are preparing for various natural disasters. But I don't know what other natural disasters will continue to happen besides our dreams. The doomsday warning predicted by another mysterious poster is similar to ours, but he only posted two posts and then nothing else. The country is building an ark in the Himalayas, which makes me uneasy. Could it be that in the end of the natural disaster, except for the people on the ark, the rest of humanity will be destroyed and die?"
"I know what you're worried about. If you want to go to Noah's Ark, I can go with you to Kyoto to get a spot to go to the Himalayas. But I don't think there's any need to worry so much. No matter what causes the devastating natural disasters and climate, nature will always give creatures a chance to breathe and will not let humans go extinct. Don't forget, we have a ship. As long as we don't encounter a tsunami, we should be able to survive all natural disasters safely. Even if we can't survive, I will always be by your side, and live and die with you."
Si Nan was moved by his words. After dinner and a shower, she put on a pink silk tight-fitting suspender nightgown that showed off her figure and took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
Cheng Suming looked at her charming body with dark eyes, put the glasses on his nose on the bedside table, turned his head to cover her graceful body, and kissed her softly...
The two did not dare to do it for too long that night, for fear that Cheng Suming would not get enough sleep, get up late the next day, and be in a bad mood, which might lead to mistakes in the operation. They did it twice, and both felt very satisfied and hugged each other tightly, and fell asleep together.
In the middle of the night, Si Nan felt very cold all over. He thought it was because he did not sleep well and kicked off the quilt, leaving him naked outside in the cold.
She reached out to pull the quilt in a daze and felt as if she was covered with it. Her whole body was still held in Cheng Suming's arms. Cheng Suming's big hands were on her soft body, pinching it unconsciously.
She pushed the man who was hugging her tightly, feeling weak all over, and said, "Suming, I feel my temperature has dropped. It's so cold. Please get up and take a look."
Cheng Suming woke up from his dream instantly, lifted the quilt and sat up. Feeling the cold temperature in the room, he immediately wrapped the thin quilt back on Si Nan, stood up, turned on the light switch, quickly put on his clothes, took out the thermometer that Si Nan had placed outside the window and took a look. It was minus five degrees!
"The temperature has dropped and the severe cold is coming." Cheng Suming showed her the thermometer with a serious expression.
The weather in the past half month has been around 21-28 degrees during the day, and the lowest at night is no more than 20 degrees. Now it has dropped to minus five degrees, which is definitely not normal.
"Quick, notify others!"
Si Nan hurriedly took out thick warm clothes and down jackets from the space and asked Cheng Suming to wear more. She quickly put on the heavy clothes herself. The two of them ran out separately and called Sheng Youqing, Yang Wentao, Liu Dalin, Si Yufang and others to get up. The neighbors nearby also called them one by one.
The patrolmen on patrol nearby and the soldiers on night duty felt the sudden drop in temperature, and they hurriedly blew their whistles, ran around the base, knocked on people's doors, and reminded them to wake up and stay out of the cold.
It was around three o'clock in the morning, when people were sleeping soundly. Many people were awakened from their dreams, opened the doors and windows to see what was going on outside, but were shivering in the chilly temperature. They hurriedly took out thicker clothes and put them on.
The southwest region was slightly warm in May, and many people did not expect the severe cold to come a month earlier, so they all covered themselves with thin quilts and wore short sleeves.
Feeling the freezing temperature, almost every household was scrambling to find clothes, turn over thick quilts, and burn firewood to keep warm.
Just as people were hurriedly woken up, the temperature was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was minus five degrees Celsius half an hour ago, and it became minus fifteen degrees Celsius half an hour later, and the temperature continued to drop.
Heavy snow began to fall from the sky. A strong cold wind blew across the entire earth, making a whimpering sound like the voice of an evil spirit, and it went straight into the cracks in people's windows and doors.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Why did the temperature drop so much? I feel like we've entered winter in an instant!"
"I've already told you it's a severe cold snap. The temperature will definitely drop to the point where it's freezing to death! Stop talking nonsense and quickly find something to block up the cracks in the door and windows to prevent the freezing wind from getting in!"
"Mom, it's snowing outside. It's so beautiful! Can I go out and play?"
"You can't go out. You'll freeze to death if you go out."
"It's over, it's over. I just arrived at the base and I don't have any thick clothes or blankets. What should I do? I'm freezing. Can someone lend me a thicker piece of clothing..."
Compared with those who have houses to live in and supplies, the slums outside Shishan and the criminal shantytowns in the west district have no doors or windows to block the cold wind, and no thick clothes or quilts to withstand the sharply dropping temperature. After nearly two million people had nowhere to turn for help, riots broke out.
Countless survivors demanded that the military government of the Stone Mountain Base distribute supplies to resist the severe cold and that houses with heating be opened for them to live in.
However, the Shishan base was unable to mobilize a large number of warm-resistant clothes in a short period of time, nor could it provide heated living quarters for the survivors in the shanty towns.
The survivors were like crazy, running around and robbing people who had houses. The soldiers and patrols at the base had to stop them. Fierce clashes broke out between the two sides, with fighting, shooting, screaming and crying everywhere.
In the shantytowns of the West District, when the temperature dropped, the criminals took the opportunity to instigate the survivors who did not have thick clothes to attack Yan Hongyi, the armed police soldier who was in charge of guarding the West District.
There were nearly 500,000 refugees in the Western District, but only 500 soldiers on night duty. Even if they had guns, they could not shoot at the innocent survivors.
The West District fell quickly, and the soldiers on night duty were either injured or killed. The criminals took the opportunity to take their guns and led groups of refugees to rob and occupy the area.
Some people could not bear the cold anymore, so they led the survivors to the agricultural park with heating, where they started another round of fighting and looting.
In less than an hour after the temperature dropped, the Stone Mountain Base became a living hell.
Si Jiayu held her daughter in her arms, and followed Si Chengye and his wife fearfully in the darkness, amid the fighting and entanglement of people everywhere. She asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, where are we going?"
"Looking for your aunt." Si Chengye answered without turning his head.
Ever since he and Si Nan had completely broken off, he had been doing a lot of things secretly in the past two months, such as hiring people to pretend to be poisoned and sick after eating the vegetables grown by Si Nan, and extorting her for supplies.
He pretended to be treated by Cheng Suming, but his condition was not cured and he pretended to be dead, in order to make Cheng Suming lose his job.
There were also some unsavory acts like causing trouble everywhere and borrowing food in the name of the couple.
Sinan directly published a long article on the newly opened forum of Shishan Base, describing how he was extremely weird, cheated on his wife, abandoned his wife and daughter, was lazy and gluttonous, and had a beastly heart.
Tell the masses that they had severed their father-daughter relationship long ago, and that what he did had nothing to do with her. Anyone who believed him and lent him supplies and food would do so at their own risk.
She also posted a bounty on the bounty board in front of the government building, which stated that anyone who beat him up or reported his harmful behavior within a week could come to her house to receive a free pound of vegetables.
That week, he was beaten into a pig's head by countless people. He lay on his bed in the shantytown in the West District, dying and almost beaten to death.
Now that he has finally recovered, he doesn't dare to go to Si Nan to make trouble again, so he can only go to his own sister to make trouble.
He hugged his arms, which were covered with a thin layer of dirty shirt, his teeth chattering with cold, and he kept muttering to himself what kind of weather was this and how the temperature could drop by 20 degrees in just one hour.
He felt like he was freezing all over, so he had to speed up and run desperately towards the center of Boulder Town, hoping to reach Si Yufang's home before freezing to death.
In the barracks of the Shishan Military Region, Commander Ye sat in front of a computer desk, listening to his subordinates constantly reporting on the chaotic situation at the base.
"The West District has completely collapsed. Yan Hongyi is leading a squadron of troops to the West District to capture the fugitive felon."
"The survivors of the outer shantytowns have all poured into the inner area and are frantically robbing the residents there."
"The agricultural parks and industrial areas have been occupied by the survivors of the shantytowns. The crops grown there and the goods just produced in the factories are probably gone..."
......
Matters were reported one after another in an online meeting in front of computer screens. More than a dozen officers, all wrapped in heavy clothes, had solemn expressions.
"Commander, give the order to arrest all the perpetrators. We can't go on like this, otherwise our entire Shishan base will be destroyed!"
"There are nearly two million rioters. The combined strength of our Shishan Army and Xingcheng Army is only 500,000. How can we have so many manpower to arrest them?"
"Do we have to arrest them one by one? Lao Qin, can't you use your brain and just shoot those who are disobedient and the leaders of the crime to make an example of them! Let's see who dares to continue!"
"Old Xu, you are such a fool! We have finally regained control of the Shishan base. The people from the Xingcheng government and the capital are watching us. If we kill those innocent survivors, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and ask the capital to send more people to seize our power!"
"Now it's all localities that are in charge. No matter how many people the capital sends over, can a powerful dragon defeat a local snake?"
......
The officers in front of the computer screen started arguing again. Commander Ye was silent for a moment, looking at the surveillance footage of riots and chaos in various places sent by his subordinates on the tablet computer next to him.
In the dim night, large flakes of snow floated down from the sky. In less than an hour, the snow outside had piled up to more than one meter high.
People were smashing and fighting crazily between buildings, in the streets and alleys, and on the sidewalks. People were running aimlessly and panicking in all directions.
In order to uphold the order not to harm ordinary people, his soldiers fought hand-to-hand with the murderous thugs. Many soldiers were unable to resist four punches with their bare hands and fell in a pool of blood one after another...
There were also many honest poor people who believed that the Stone Mountain Base would not ignore the survivors and stayed in the shantytowns. However, because the temperature dropped too quickly, they had no cold-proof clothing and were frozen to death on the spot, with a thick layer of ice on their bodies...
Division Commander Ye closed his bloodshot eyes, then opened them again and gave an order in a serious manner: "Send all the soldiers from Shishan, fully armed, to suppress the rebellious crowd! If there are any criminals who resist, as Chief of Staff Xu said, they will be shot directly to serve as a warning to others!"
"yes!"
Orders were given one after another, and soon all the soldiers stationed in the military camp at the foot of Dashishan Mountain were called together, divided into several teams, and loaded onto military trucks one after another, and transported to every street area in the Shishan base.
After Si Nan woke up her relatives, friends and neighbors and asked them to close the doors and windows and not to open the door to strangers, she took the crossbow and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?" Cheng Suming stopped her and asked, "It's minus 40 degrees outside, and the snow is nearly two meters high. It's dangerous for you to go out now."
