The doctor was already waiting in the room. Quan Hou and the doctor recorded Yan Shi's condition together, exchanged ideas and worked together on treatment. When their opinions differed, they even argued a bit, but Quan Hou won completely.
Who would waste their breath arguing with a madman?
Zhuang Zhao and the others were lost in thought outside the door. Tong Ying and the others had just come up and were standing against the wall, not daring to make a sound.
"You guys go back first. I'll let you know if there's any news." Zhuang Zhao only noticed them when he came back to his senses. He told them to go back not because he felt sorry for them, but because he didn't want Yan Shi to have to deal with them when he came out, and he didn't want them to disturb him and Yan Shi.
The bewildered group obediently went back. They were exhausted after a long day, and besides, with a threat looming over them, there was no point in waiting there foolishly.
"If anything happens, just call us. We'll be happy to help."
Zhuang Zhao nodded, not taking it to heart.
Unless they need a blood transfusion, they are really not needed.
Time passed by, and Yun Nuo came by once. She saw that Yan Shi had a lot of blood on his mouth and clothes, so she brought him some medicine and gauze to treat it.
"Have something to eat. You still have to take care of Yan Shi now that she's awake."
Zhuang Zhao didn't say a word and obediently ate all the food Yun Nuo had gotten from the cafeteria.
"How's the progress on that cyborg Quan Hou?" Zhuang Zhao's sudden question startled Yun Nuo, and the content of his question further shocked her.
How did you know?
"Naturally, it was Quan Hou who told me." In fact, he saw it from Quan Hou's room.
"I don't know if it can be considered a success. The experiment of injecting zombie blood didn't go smoothly, and the limb transplant experiment went relatively smoothly, but it didn't have much effect. However, the crystal cores you sent over are very useful. They can not only improve the survival rate of infected humans, but also greatly increase the chance of mutated aliens. Moreover, they can also inhibit the self-regeneration of aliens. If they can be mass-produced, they will definitely be a powerful weapon."
"Are there any side effects if humans consume crystal cores?"
"No cases have been found yet, but the mutations can take many unexpected forms, and for some people they can be side effects."
"However, Teacher Quan said that a person can only eat one. Eating more is useless and a complete waste. I think this thing is quite strange, so it's best not to eat it."
Seeing Zhuang Zhao looking thoughtful, Yun Nuo asked, "You don't want to give it a try, do you?"
Zhuang Zhao didn't answer, but looked up at the tightly closed room door.
"Human power alone cannot protect her."
"That's true, but do what you can. You two need to take good care of yourselves."
Then the door opened.
"Yan Shi has calmed down. Don't use the black hole for now. We'll talk about it later."
"Is your tongue alright?"
"Did it hurt so much that you bit your tongue?" Yun Nuo asked, as a simple bite of the tongue wouldn't warrant such concern from the Marquis.
Zhuang Zhao blushed bright red and went past Quan Hou and the doctor to see Yan Shi.
"Why is her face red? Could it be that Yan Shi bit her?" Yun Nuo muttered to herself.
"Your little brain isn't very bright, but you guessed quite accurately." Quan Hou patted Yun Nuo on the shoulder, giving her approval.
"Are you playing this wildly?" Yun Nuo's round eyes widened in surprise. The two of them seemed quite composed, but she hadn't expected them to be so wild and unrestrained.
"The whole world is telling you that you can't judge a book by its cover, but you still insist on judging people by their values and appearance."
"It's because I'm not very bright."
"You've become arrogant."
The two walked away, bickering and exchanging words.
The doctors looked at each other, feeling as if they were made of pickled fish.
Yan Shi was still fast asleep, the red line on his left arm was vivid and visibly undulating, much calmer than when he was in the car.
When my gaze fell on my hand, I felt something was missing. After a while, I realized that what I was missing was a ring. It is said that there is an invisible thread between two identical rings that connects two people. It's not about sharing life and death, but sharing joys and sorrows.
I don't know if she likes wearing rings.
Yan Shi woke up from hunger. Her stomach felt empty and burning. Before she woke up, she had dreamed of a lava hell. She must have been hallucinating from hunger.
As soon as she raised her hand, she felt it being held. She tilted her head and saw Zhuang Zhao's hands enveloping hers. No wonder it felt so hot and heavy.
"Zhuang Zhao, wake up." Yan Shi called him softly, waving his hand as he did so.
"You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I don't feel unwell, I'm hungry."
What would you like to eat?
"Pig's trotters, rice, let's go to the night market."
"The Marquis of Quan said you need to rest and recuperate."
"It's not like there's something wrong with my body. Come on, listen to me." Yan Shi said, getting out of bed.
"Then I'll carry you on my back."
"Alright then." Yan Shi seemed reluctant, but she was secretly delighted. Who doesn't love their boyfriend's warm back?
Zhuang Zhao stood by the bed, and just as Yan Shi was about to step onto the bed, the room door was pushed open.
"You two, are you about to take off?"
"You've only just taken off?" Yan Shi withdrew his arm and pulled Zhuang Zhao to sit down.
Quan Hou briefly explained Yan Shi's situation and earnestly invited her to participate in the experiment.
"It is highly likely that loss of control over their abilities is the fate of every Xenomorph. If a solution cannot be found, neither the Xenomorph nor humans will survive."
"And then?" Yan Shi asked calmly, as if the matter at hand had nothing to do with her.
"Why not become my guinea pig? That way, I might have a better chance of survival."
"Please allow me to refuse."
"Alright then." Quan Hou checked their blood pressure and heart rate, and then shamelessly drew a vial of blood before letting the two of them go.
"If you were a businessman, you'd definitely be the richest man in the world," Yan Shi retorted.
"Thank you for the compliment."
The three mutants did not cause any disturbance. New mutants had also appeared in other places. Some were more ferocious and were killed on the spot. Others were confused and unaware of the situation, so they were tied up and sent to Quan Hou's research institute.
