For a moment, the confused people didn't recognize each other and were chatting animatedly.
Although the four people were moderately confused and had no idea who Qi Mi was, they still believed her words based on the residual feelings they had from spending so many days together.
Thanks to Qi Mi's persuasion, Zheng Yuanyuan and her three children got back into Lao Wei's car.
Seeing that his fierce face scared people, and they were all friends of Qi's fans, Lao Wei quickly smiled at them and tried to get closer. "I'm sorry if I scared you, but don't be fooled by my fierce appearance. I'm not a bad person. I'm truly a good socialist young man. If you don't believe me, ask Qi's fans."
Qi Fan was wiping the children's noses. He stole a glance at him and jokingly said, "I think it's the good middle age of socialism, right?"
Zheng Yuanyuan laughed softly, and her nervous mood eased a lot in an instant.
"You little girl!" Old Wei sighed softly. "There are strangers here, and you don't even give me a bit of respect."
"There are no outsiders here, we are all family here."
Qi Mi smiled, fastened the children's seat belts, closed the door, knocked on Lao Wei's car window and told him to drive steadily.
Lao Wei made an OK gesture and started the car.
Qi Mi and Ye Shiliu also ran towards the base with the little cub Ye Shuci.
More than ten minutes later, the vehicle entered the base boundary.
Through the transparent hemispherical film, Lao Wei and Liao Yang looked at each other reluctantly, and immediately got back to work and reported the situation to their superiors.
Because the thing we encountered this time was an A-level monster with great power, and there was a possibility of further contamination, it would be safer for us to go to the hospital together for observation overnight.
Everyone waited outside the base, waiting for the medical team to come for testing and treatment.
After a while, two ambulances came roaring.
Seeing Qi Mi, the nurse was startled: "You again?"
Qi Mi smiled awkwardly: "Yes, it's me again..."
Someone who has no money to buy on credit and is now in jail again.
When he heard that Qi Mi still owed the hospital money, Lao Wei laughed heartily, feeling as if he had finally caught her. He took out his wallet and waved his big card: "No problem, just use mine."
The young nurse accepted it with a smile.
After the examination, the young nurse separated the eight people according to their severity. There were two ambulances, one for the three people with normal SAN values, and another for the five people with different degrees of confusion. So the young Ye Shuci was assigned to sit right between Qi Mi and Lao Wei.
After Lao Wei got in the car, he saw Liao Yang seemed to secretly wipe away tears, and his heart was broken. Because so many people were present, he had to maintain his dignity as a mid-level purification officer, so he quietly took out his phone and quickly sent a text message to comfort him.
[Don't worry, I remember you are my wife. I'm fine. Don't cry.]
After reading it, Liao Yang replied: [Come back soon, the kids and I miss you.]
Lao Wei: [I miss you too/kiss]
In the ambulance, seeing Lao Wei holding a mobile phone with a gentle expression, Qi Mi couldn't help but move over to take a peek, but as soon as she made eye contact, he blocked the phone screen with his hand.
"Go and have a private chat with your own wife." He raised his head proudly, deliberately put his phone back into his pocket in front of Qi's fans, and clapped his hands twice, expressing his meaning very clearly: If you want to see it, no way.
Qi Mi was speechless and rolled his eyes at him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuci heard this and immediately helped her teacher in a baby voice: "Uncle, you are wrong. Teacher Qi is a girl. Girls don't have wives, they only have husbands."
Old Wei was stunned for a moment. Seeing the little girl looking at him seriously, he teased her deliberately: "Your teacher Qi is so fierce, she doesn't look like a girl at all. Of course, she can only find a young wife!"
Qi Mi sighed lightly and reached out to push him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuci suddenly asked Lao Wei seriously, "Uncle, what do you think a girl should look like?"
Old Wei thought for a moment: "Gentle? Cute? Caring?"
Anyway, it’s the same as Liao Yang.
"Wrong!" Ye Shuci raised his little head seriously. "My mother said that girls are like flowers. All colors are the best. Let a hundred flowers bloom is the best. Only you men have so many unreasonable demands!"
Old Wei was stunned for two seconds: "?"
Qi Mi chuckled and poked the quirky Ye Shuci with tenderness in his eyes.
Old Wei chuckled softly and agreed, "You're absolutely right."
He is too narrow-minded and doesn't even reach the level of a little kid.
Fortunately, they arrived at the central hospital very quickly. Lao Wei did not feel embarrassed for too long. As soon as the ambulance door opened, he couldn't wait to get out of the car, quickly adjusted his state and showed the dignity of a superior, and talked to the doctors and nurses about the specific situation.
People with three normal SAN values will only need to undergo routine examinations and wait in the lobby.
Ye Shiliu went to the mild illness ward on the second underground floor for treatment.
Zheng Yuanyuan had to take her three children to the ward on the basement floor.
The four of them obediently followed the nurse to the basement.
The prison-like, dark environment made the four people nervous. The three children immediately transformed into Zheng Yuanyuan's leg pendants, and every time she took a step forward, the children followed.
Perhaps noticing their discomfort, the nurse smiled and consoled them, "Don't be afraid. It's just that the environment is a little rough, but we can assure you that the hospital is absolutely safe."
As he was speaking, a chubby face squeezed in through the small window of the ward beside him.
Zheng Yuanyuan's body froze immediately.
The young nurse seemed to be used to it and was not frightened at all. She even started chatting with the face: "Come out to breathe some fresh air again, right?"
The fat man chuckled: "Wouldn't it be better this way?"
"Yes, you will get better quickly if you listen to me."
"I'll listen, I'll definitely listen!"
The two talked naturally, like old friends.
The fat man saw Zheng Yuanyuan and forced a friendly smile: "Hello, fellow patient."
"...Hello." Although Zheng Yuanyuan was extremely scared, she still showed her politeness.
She curled her lips and quickly took her three children to follow the little nurse.
"You know that girl, right? The one in the black sweatshirt?" The young nurse stood in Ward 101 at the end of the corridor, opening the door and chatting with Zheng Yuanyuan. "She was also staying here the day before yesterday, and she was discharged yesterday. Don't worry, you'll recover soon..." As she spoke, she pushed the door open and said with a smile, "It's all cleaned inside, you can just move in."
Zheng Yuanyuan nodded and thanked them together with her three children.
The nurse gave them some medicine, took out a small radio, tuned it to some soothing music, and placed it on the bedside table. She said, "Have a good sleep. I'll prepare dinner for you."
Zheng Yuanyuan thanked her.
The young nurse smiled and waved her hand, then pushed the cart out and locked the door.
Hearing the sound outside the door, Yu Jiaojiao reacted the fastest and ran to the door immediately. She grabbed the door handle with both hands and tried to open it. Then she stared at Zheng Yuanyuan and said, "Auntie, she locked us in."
Zheng Yuanyuan opened her mouth but before she could say anything, she heard the other two kids burst into tears and ran to the door to make a fuss.
"Wow—I want to go home!"
"I want my mom!"
Afraid of disturbing other patients, Zheng Yuanyuan hurriedly pulled them over to comfort them: "Don't be afraid, we can leave once we recover... Stop crying, auntie is here."
But the two kids were crying so hard that they had no intention of listening to what she was saying.
They are now in a state of moderate confusion. Not to mention Zheng Yuanyuan, they probably don’t even know who they are. They are just crying and making a fuss out of childish instinct.
The underground was spacious, and even normal conversations could be heard far away, let alone this kind of heart-wrenching wailing. It was like a loudspeaker, echoing from the end of the corridor all the way to the elevator entrance.
Zheng Yuanyuan was just getting frustrated by their crying when she saw Yu Jiaojiao jump from the door into her arms like a little meat bomb.
"Auntie, there's an old witch!" Yu Jiaojiao pointed at the door and shouted.
Zheng Yuanyuan looked up and saw a resentful face squeezed in the small window, and screamed in fright.
Song Chun had a stern face and stared at these "little devils" with an unhappy expression: "Shut up, stop crying, it's so noisy! If I hear anyone make another noise, I will eat you up in one bite!"
“!!!”
The two cubs immediately closed their wide-open mouths and dared not say a word.
It is more effective than Zheng Yuanyuan's earnest advice.
Song Chun stared at them for a while, and when he saw that the children had indeed stopped crying, he slowly added, "I'm right across from you. If I hear any noise from you again, I'll come over and eat you... Now, go to bed!"
Hearing the instructions of the "old witch", Yu Jiaojiao reacted the fastest. She threw her schoolbag to the ground and lay down on the bed, covering herself with the quilt.
When Ye Shushi saw Yu Jiaojiao like this, she quickly did as she was told and lay down next to her.
The youngest, Di Yuntong, looked left and right, wanting to cry but not daring to. Tears welled up in his eyes. He pouted and looked at Zheng Yuanyuan, saying aggrievedly, "Auntie, go to sleep."
"Okay." Zheng Yuanyuan quickly helped him take off his schoolbag and carried him to bed.
The camp bed wasn't big, but it was perfect for the three children to sleep sideways. Perhaps they were tired from crying, so Zheng Yuanyuan covered them with the quilt and patted them twice to soothe them to sleep.
After the room became quiet, Zheng Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to lie down on the camp bed next to her, but when she looked up, she found Song Chun's face still squeezed in the small window.
She glanced at the sleeping children and walked over with her head held high: "Is there anything else?"
Song Chun said mysteriously: "Hehehe, let me tell you a secret, this room 101 is actually..."
"It's just an ordinary room."
A clear and bright female voice interrupted her.
Noticing someone coming over, Song Chun quickly pulled her face out of the window and turned around to see Qi Mi looking at her with a half-smile, his hands folded.
After checking that everything was fine, Qi Mi was worried about the four people and ran down immediately. Unexpectedly, she actually caught Song Chun in the act of scaring people.
Given Zheng Yuanyuan's current level of confusion, learning that the house is haunted will only make the situation worse.
Song Chun looked Qi Mi up and down and said in surprise, "You're back again?!"
He seemed very happy that Qi Mi could return to prison.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm fine. I'm just here to take care of the patient." Qi Mi gestured to the little green dinosaur in Song Chun's hand and said, "If you don't behave, I'll take the little dinosaur away."
Song Chun was startled and immediately put his hands behind his back: "No, it's my good friend."
"Then go back to your room."
"oh."
With the little dinosaur restraining him, Song Chun had no choice but to listen to Qi Mi's words. After returning to the room, he locked the door from the inside.
Qi Mi glanced at them with a smile, walked to the door and talked to Zheng Yuanyuan through the window, saying softly, "Just rest well, I'll be watching over you outside, nothing will happen."
"Well, thank you."
These words seemed to give Zheng Yuanyuan the strongest reassurance. After thanking him, she returned to the bed with peace of mind.
Qi Mi looked around and found a relatively clean place to sit against the wall.
Ye Shuci was asked by her to be taken back to the base kindergarten by Old Wei. Initially, the child was reluctant, but after chatting with Liao Yang on video, she saw Fang Xinyue and Wu Muchen there, along with a plethora of adorable toys, and was immediately tempted. When Peng Yichen mentioned that there would be a large table of delicious food tonight, Ye Shuci agreed immediately and happily followed Old Wei out of the hospital.
With Liao Yang and Lao Wei taking care of them, the four cubs were obedient, so Qi Mi was not worried.
This is what she was worried about.
Currently, all four of them are in a moderate state of confusion, and it's unknown when things will return to normal. What if their SAN values continue to drop...
Qi Mi suddenly closed his eyes to stop himself from thinking about it anymore.
Of the twelve people who came in with her, four are missing and four are in a state of confusion.
And they shouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster... It was all because of her, because of their contact with her, that they were dragged into this revenge game for no reason.
“…”
Qi Mi lowered his brows and eyes, buried his head between his knees, curled up his body and tried to make himself smaller and smaller, as if this could hide all his emotions and digest them slowly.
She was not a person who liked to reveal her thoughts. No matter how deep her emotions were, she always hid them quietly. She didn't even dare to apologize because she knew that Zheng Yuanyuan and the children would definitely say it was not her fault.
But she couldn't forgive herself.
The group of people she cherished so much, the peaceful life she cherished so much, were something she would never dare to ask for in the bloody battlefield. This peace must have been God's last mercy to her, allowing her to live in the sunshine like a normal person...
But, she still lost it.
Qi Mi hugged his arms tightly and hid himself in the corner at the end of the corridor.
Not long after, the young nurse came down to deliver food and saw a person huddled in the corner at the end. Just as she was about to pick up the communicator to report, Old Wei, who had just come out of the elevator, snatched it away.
"Sir?"
"Leave this to me, you go ahead and get busy." Old Wei said in a deep voice.
When he gets serious, he has a strong aura and people dare not refute him with just a few words.
So the young nurse immediately obeyed, left the food delivery cart behind, and left with the communicator.
Old Wei glanced at Qi Mi and saw her burying her head between her knees like a frightened ostrich, and couldn't help but sigh.
This girl must be in a bad mood again.
He pushed the cart and walked slowly.
Qi Mi was about three meters away. Before he could say anything, he heard her ask in a muffled voice, her head bowed, "Did you deliver the child for me?"
Old Wei was stunned for a moment, then deliberately joked in a lighthearted tone, "Do you have eyes on the top of your head? You knew it was me without even looking?"
"The sound and pace of walking can't be deceived. You don't need eyes on the top of your head to tell." Qi Mi took a deep breath and raised his head with a faint smile on his face. "Why are you here instead of accompanying your wife at the kindergarten?"
"If I hadn't come, wouldn't I have seen you curled up to death tomorrow?" Old Wei snorted, pushed the cart aside, and sat next to her against the wall. "Tell me what's going on. Don't shrink like a little watermelon worm. If you have any troubles, just speak out loudly."
Qi Mi raised his head and asked, "Do you think this is a place for chatting?"
Old Wei turned his head suspiciously and saw two rows of onlookers, all of whom had their faces pressed against the small window, waiting there as if they were listening to a story.
Lao Wei: "...Let's talk about it later."
Qi Mi smiled, relaxed his whole body, slightly spread his legs, rested his elbows on his knees, and stretched his hand in front of Lao Wei.
Old Wei understood what was going on, reached into his pocket, pulled out half a pack of cigarettes, and handed one to her.
Sniffing the faint smell of tobacco under her nose, she took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
My mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Do you feel better now?" Old Wei stood up, brought her a box lunch, and sat down again.
Qi Mi nodded and put the cigarette in his pocket.
She took the lunch box and just tore open the packaging bag of the eco-friendly chopsticks when she suddenly remembered the bloody appearance of the monkey in the barrier whose neck she had pierced with chopsticks. She smacked her lips and put down the bamboo chopsticks.
"Just give me a spoon," she said.
Old Wei snorted, leaned over and pulled the cart over, took out a plastic spoon and gave it to her: "Do you also have times when you can't eat?"
"It's retribution." Qi Mi curled his lips and buried his head in eating.
At this time, Song Chun poked his head out from the next room and stared at Lao Wei with joy: "Boss, why are you here?"
Old Wei looked up at her and said, "You've recovered quite well. You can even recognize me now. I guess you'll be discharged soon."
"Well, I will be able to return to my post and continue working soon!" Song Chun said with anticipation.
Qi Mi looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked Lao Wei, "Is she really a purification officer?"
She always thought that Song Chun was talking nonsense because of his confused consciousness.
However, Old Wei could prove it: "Well, Junior Purification Officer Song Chun, my subordinate, was previously contaminated by something strange and came here for treatment."
Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex, Song Chun immediately stood at attention and saluted, her eyes confident and determined, very different from the one she saw half an hour ago.
Old Wei raised his eyebrows at Qi Fan, his expression slightly cocky: "Look, my soldiers, what do you think?"
Qi Mi chuckled and gave him a thumbs up: "Not bad."
Then Song Chun opened the door of the ward and invited them in to chat.
Afraid that talking at the door would disturb other patients' rest, Qi Mi and Lao Wei looked at each other, patted their butts and walked in.
The layout of this ward is the same as the one opposite, with two camp beds. The only difference is that there is a box of fresh apples at the head of the bed. Lao Wei said that this is a preferential benefit for the hospital's purification officers. The key is also provided, so as long as you don't leave this floor, you can go out and move around freely.
"Boss, I have something to report." Song Chun stood at attention and saluted, looking very capable and reliable.
Old Wei also displayed his leadership demeanor and sat upright beside the bed, "Please speak."
Qi Mi didn't listen. He took the half-eaten lunch box and sat aside, eating by himself... He had just taken a few bites and felt two pairs of gazes coming at him before he could even swallow the food.
She looked up and saw Lao Wei and Song Chun staring at her.
Lao Wei: "You were staying in Room 101 the other day. Did you hear any thumping sounds coming from underground?"
"Yes." Then, Qi Mi recounted what happened that night truthfully.
Song Chun frowned: "Boss, I think this matter needs to be reported to the higher-ups. If one or two times can be said to be a coincidence, then so many people claiming to have heard the sound may be a bit abnormal."
"I know this, but this sound doesn't happen every day. It doesn't mean anything if it reappears after a period of calm... Don't think about it for now. Let it go, recover well and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible." Lao Wei instructed.
"yes!"
A brisk ringing sound rang out from the room.
Old Wei took out his cell phone and saw the word "wife" flashing on the screen, his eyes unconsciously became soft.
It seemed as if he had practiced this many times. When he raised his eyes and winked at Song Chun, Song Chun understood at a glance and tactfully covered his ears and closed his eyes.
Like a sculpture that neither hears nor sees, it stands quietly in the same place.
Lao Wei walked to the wall and connected the video call. He said gently, "What's wrong, wife?"
He said this in a hurry, not expecting that a young and pretty face would appear on the screen.
Old Wei: “…”
Wu Muchen: “…”
The two looked at each other in silence, feeling only awkward.
Liao Yang let out two low laughs from the other side of the screen. Although it didn't appear on the screen, one could still imagine her smirking expression: "I'm not looking for you, it's the children who are looking for Teacher Qi."
"oh."
Old Wei curled his lips in disappointment and stared at Qi Mi with resentment, "Looking for you."
He looked so weird, as if Qi Mi had stolen his wife.
Qi Mi looked at him speechlessly, took the phone, and looked at the children on the screen with curved eyebrows: "Teacher Zheng and a few children are sick and in the hospital. I'm staying here to take care of them. You must listen to Teacher Liao's words, okay? Eat well, sleep well, you are the best, right?"
Wu Muchen nodded seriously: "Teacher Qi, don't worry, I will take good care of these children and wait for you to come back... By the way, how are you feeling? Have you eaten?"
"The teacher has eaten, is in good health, and everything is fine."
"Um!"
"Enough, enough, it's my turn now!" The phone spun around, and Fang Xinyue's little face filled the entire screen. She was chewing something, and her face was covered in greasy paint. "Teacher Qi, we will be good. You must come back soon!"
"Okay~"
The phone on the other side was like a baton, and after Fang Xinyue finished speaking, it was passed to Ye Shuci next to her.
As someone who had personally experienced this barrier, she remembered what Qi Mi had said and warned with a worried look on her face, "Teacher Qi, be careful with the naughty little fairy and don't let her play pranks again."
Qi Mi smiled: "Okay~"
Then the camera turned and focused on Peng Yichen.
He was eating the chicken leg with both hands, his mouth full, and he had no time to talk. When he saw the camera pointed at him, he hurriedly made a heart to Qi fans: "I love you~"
Qi Mi also made a heart shape with his hands, and his smile deepened: "Yeah."
Finally, Liao Yang took the phone, talked with Qi's fans for a few words, and then hung up the video.
Qi Mi had a faint smile on his face. When he looked up, he saw Lao Wei looking at him with a complicated expression. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and handed the phone back to him.
Lao Wei took it and muttered sadly, "He just hung up like that, and I didn't even say a word."
"Ahem, the subordinates are still here." Qi Mi gestured to Song Chun next to him and deliberately joked, "Show off your superior's authority."
When Old Wei heard this, he immediately cleared his throat, switched to the identity of a mid-level purification officer in seconds, and walked in front of Song Chun.
Song Chun stood at attention.
"This candidate purification officer may have to stay here temporarily tonight, so get along well with him," he instructed.
"clear!"
"Wait a minute!" Qi Mi called out to Old Wei as he was about to leave, and quickly stepped forward. "Can you please do me another favor?"
Lao Wei: “?”
