Chapter 67
Seven drops of the light red potion had already been dripped, and the data displayed on dozens of screens kept jumping.
Claire kept analyzing the displayed data using charts and graphs, and the emotional feedback she received was undeniably painful...
He didn't want Him to suffer so much in the giant cocoon. This was not his original intention.
"Stop. Tell them—" Claire wanted to stop the dripping of the stimulating potion, but a hoarse voice in his mind interrupted him. The hoarse voice said, "She's about to wake up."
Those words seemed to flip a switch. Claire paused, observing the eighth drop of potion condensing on the syringe in the observation room. Claire's golden eyes watched as the drop of potion transformed from an arc into a semicircle, then from a semicircle into a circle. Because of gravity, it slowly took on the shape of a teardrop, dangling precariously on the needle tip...
Finally, it could not bear the burden and fell into the giant cocoon.
The moment the potion fell, Claire saw the data on the screens jumping wildly, increasing and decreasing rapidly. He didn't even need to draw a table. He recognized the emotion because he had measured it many times before.
pain.
"Let them continue," the hoarse voice said.
Claire snapped back to her senses. "No! No! Tell them to stop!"
"You'll regret it." The hoarse voice was like a saw, sawing back and forth on Claire's decision.
Claire hesitated for two seconds, but when the ninth drop of potion was about to be dripped in, he resolutely stopped the addition of the stimulating potion.
However, after the drug stopped, the data lines displayed by the sensor did not slowly return to calm as before, but continued to fluctuate chaotically.
There were even several times when we were close to the boundary point and the alarm sounded.
The recorders and analysts in the observation room looked at it in bewilderment; this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Claire rushed to the glass wall, her eyes fixed on the giant cocoon, her heart beating rapidly. Could it be that "He" was waking up...
…
Endless coldness came towards Lin Bai.
The hammer in my head keeps beating.
Energy is drained...
Energy is filled...
Once again drained...
She seemed to have returned to that dark place, like a vegetative person paralyzed from the neck down, unable to move, unable to speak, unable to hear anyone's voice but her own.
She struggled to regain control of her body and escape from the small space that trapped her, but her subconscious told her not to do so as it was dangerous.
So what should she do?
She seemed to have something unfinished. She couldn't wake up now, at least not at this moment, otherwise...
She will disappear...
"Lin Bai!"
Here it comes again, that voice.
But who is Lin Bai?
"Lin Bai!" Lou Tiannan felt that something was wrong with Lin Bai. He didn't know if it was because of the snow outside. Even though he had made a fire, Lin Bai's body temperature kept dropping and was as cold as a block of iron.
He pulled apart his and Lin Bai's combat uniforms, wrapped Lin Bai in his combat uniform, put his face against Lin Bai's forehead, and kept rubbing Lin Bai's arms, shoulders and back with his palms.
Lou Tiannan didn't notice that every time his palm brushed against Lin Bai's left arm, his energy particles were quickly absorbed.
All night long.
Lou Tiannan tried his best to maintain Lin Bai's body temperature.
The snow outside the cave almost covered the entrance. The snowflakes that fell into the cave were quickly melted by the high temperature of the cave, and the melted water dripped onto the ground, forming small streams...
Tick-tock...
…
When Lin Bai regained consciousness, he felt as if he was tied up tightly, almost suffocating him.
Someone was patting and kneading her back and arms. She didn't move in a hurry. She closed her eyes and recalled what happened before she lost consciousness.
The automatic recording chip helped a lot.
She was led by Lou Tiannan to jump out from the 17th floor of the research institute. They encountered a hurricane, and Lou Tiannan brought her down and into this cave. Then Lou Tiannan provided her with heat energy...
Lin Bai raised his head in Lou Tiannan's arms.
Looking at Lou Tiannan's well-defined chin, now covered with stubble, he looked a little unkempt.
Lou Tiannan felt the movement of the person in his arms and immediately looked down at her, meeting Lin Bai's eyes. They were ordinary eyes, but the eye shadow on her eyelids and the makeup on her face had long been smudged, leaving her face with black and purple spots. He stared at her for a few seconds and thought she looked very beautiful.
When you look at Lin Bai with your eyes open, he becomes colorful.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "You're awake."
Lou Tiannan's voice was hoarse and filled with fatigue.
"Yeah, I'm awake." Lin Bai moved in response.
The next moment, Lou Tiannan lowered his head slightly, closed his bloodshot eyes, and was no longer motionless.
Lin Bai: “…”
After confirming that he was asleep, Lin Bai stopped moving and closed his eyes...
Continue to replenish energy.
Three hours later, Lou Tiannan opened his eyes.
As soon as he moved, he felt the weight on his chest. Looking at Lin Bai who still had his eyes closed, he fell into a trance for a moment. Was Lin Bai awake?
It was not until a few seconds later when Lin Bai's eyelashes trembled and his eyes opened that he was sure that Lin Bai was really awake.
When he moved his hand to help Lin Bai up, he suddenly felt that their current posture was a little...wrong.
Last night, in order to keep Lin Bai warm, he wrapped Lin Bai in his combat uniform. He could vaguely feel Lin Bai's skin pressed tightly against his. He had been in a hurry before and hadn't thought too much about it. But now, the two of them, a man and a woman, an Alpha and a Beta, were so close...
Lou Tiannan was wondering how to explain when he saw Lin Bai lying on his chest and asking him, "Can I get up now?"
"Yes..." Lou Tiannan replied.
"Then loosen your hands?" Lin Bai patted the strong arms around his waist.
Lou Tiannan pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted. He wanted to explain to Lin Bai, but was afraid that she would misunderstand him. "I, the situation was urgent at the time, so I—"
However, Lin Bai was much more reasonable than he had imagined: "I know, it's okay, and thank you, Captain Lou." Lin Bai naturally left Lou Tiannan's chest and left Lou Tiannan's combat uniform. She was only wearing a combat vest. She glanced left and right and saw the combat uniform top on the ground. She picked up the clothes and put them on her shoulders. Then she stood up from his legs and began to observe the situation around her.
Seeing Lin Bai's nonchalant attitude, Lou Tiannan should have felt relieved. After all, there was no misunderstanding, but...
He didn't know how to describe his current feelings. It was like a level 3 zombie with no crystal core, like eating a whole pack of compressed biscuits without drinking any water, like liking someone but she—
In short, it’s uncomfortable!
"Captain Lou?"
After Lin Bai stood up, he found that Lou Tiannan had not moved. He lowered his head and saw that his tough brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Yeah." Lou Tiannan pursed his lips and stood up. Because his combat uniform was open, the firm and full muscles of his chest and abdomen were exposed. He lowered his head and zipped up his combat uniform.
Lin Bai saw that he didn't know what happened suddenly. The zipper was pulled high with a whoosh, and he only let go when it reached his neck.
Lin Bai didn't comment on his behavior. She took a few steps toward the cave entrance and saw the snow that almost covered the entrance. Without even turning her head, she asked, "Captain Lou, where are we?"
A stiff reply came from behind him: "I don't know."
"Hmm?" Lin Bai turned his head and felt that Lou Tiannan's voice was very strange.
"It should be in the landscape forest in the North Second District." Lou Tiannan answered her question meticulously and seriously.
If Lin Bai had not been sure that he heard the word "I don't know", he would have thought it was an auditory hallucination.
The landscaped forest in the North Second District is a mimic forest from before the apocalypse, which is a one-to-one restoration of the original forest of the ancient planet, and is used to provide an area for living, leisure and entertainment for the people of the Federation.
"Were you blown so far here?" Lin Bai was a little surprised. North District 2 and East District 1 were two districts apart.
She stepped on the snow at the entrance of the cave and looked at the situation outside. She was shocked by the cold temperature outside. She took a quick look to confirm her location and then retreated back into the cave.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, drawing a map with a stone. After confirming the location, he took out a few parts from the pocket of his combat uniform and began to make a small signal receiver, intending to use it to contact Shirakawa and the others.
Lou Tiannan stood beside Lin Bai and watched him wake up, observe the terrain, draw a map, and now he was sitting on the ground making instruments without even raising his head.
These are all correct.
Yes, these are all correct! Lou Tiannan said calmly in his heart.
After Lin Bai connected the thread, he looked up at Lou Tiannan, who was emitting a fiery aura beside him. "Captain Lou, are you angry?"
Lou Tiannan was stunned. It was the first time in his life that he shifted his gaze while making eye contact with someone. "I'm not angry. I was wondering if Elena and the others would be in danger."
Seeing that Lou Tiannan had changed the subject, Lin Bai didn't ask any further questions. "Elena's situation is indeed very embarrassing right now. I just hope she doesn't run into the federal army, otherwise she will definitely go to jail again."
Lou Tiannan did not forget his mission. He quickly regained his cautious mentality of combat readiness and spontaneously followed Lin Bai to study the route. He wanted to bring the original blood vaccine back to the Federation as soon as possible and help Elena get rid of the charge of betraying the Federation.
But as the saying goes, what you fear will come to you.
Elena hid on the roof of a tall building to observe the federal army led by Aurora priest Cook on the street, frowning.
She was blown to the roof of the building by the hurricane. Fortunately, the roof was blocked and there were no zombies on it.
After landing, she kept contacting Lou Tiannan, Lin Bai and others.
Only Baichuan and Tang Mary responded to the signal.
Because Elena was closest to the East Fifth District, she was waiting for Baichuan and Tang Mary to come from other areas.
Unexpectedly, we ran into the federal rescue team rushing to East District 5.
Although it was a federal rescue team, it followed the orders of the missionaries in Aurora.
Elena looked at her once familiar comrades who were fawning over Aurora, whom she hated, and thought of the zombies wearing Aurora's white robes she saw at the research institute. Anger flashed in Elena's usually gentle eyes.
Suddenly, she saw a handsome young man next to Cook turn his head towards her.
She was startled and quickly turned sideways to hide behind the cover.
That boy is so sharp!
She didn't try to poke her head in again. She didn't want to make any mistakes before she found Lin Bai.
Kukber noticed that Caesar was looking at a building and asked, "Cesar, is there anything there?"
Caesar turned his head back and shook his head.
He wasn't sure, but he couldn't waste time.
The master's order is to quickly go to East District 5 and capture anyone who enters the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute.
