Chapter 113 Still Alive [Update 1]
"This is clearly Zhao Lianshi..." Damn, do alien races have soul possession tricks? It doesn't have to be so mysterious!
Ruan Xi's heart was filled with disbelief. At this moment, he was thinking more about whether this honest and straightforward kid Zhao Lianshi could be saved. If he couldn't be saved, Zhao Lianshan and his little apprentice would probably cry to death.
"Could this be a parasite? Where is the parasite hiding?" Ruan Xi's mind was working fast, and he soon thought of another possibility. The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and his eyes began to shine.
"Fight with him and see if I can find any flaw. Maybe Zhao Lianshi is still alive." This is the most ideal situation. If it really doesn't work, Ruan Xi has no other choice. After all, the leaves of the Tree of Life can only save the living, but not the dead.
He Ziqian didn't say anything, but the moment Ruan Xi finished speaking, he rushed out like lightning and immediately engaged in a fight with the strange alien. Ruan Xi discovered that the aliens fought with a completely bestial style, as if every movement could bend their bodies directly, which made Ruan Xi shudder.
Damn it, this alien brother, take it easy, this is not your body. Zhao Lianshi's brother loves him dearly. You're parasitic on him and don't pay rent, but at least give him a little life...
Ruan Xi had a lot of mixed thoughts in his mind and was a little dazed for a moment. When he came back to his senses by a loud noise, the alien had been pressed to the ground by He Ziqian for a long time.
"Hold it! Let me take a look!" Ruan Xi immediately became alert, rushed forward in two steps, grabbed Zhao Lianshi's wrist and took his pulse carefully.
After taking Zhao Lianshi's pulse, he was immediately shocked. Zhao Lianshi's condition was definitely a typical example of someone whose life was hanging by a thread. If this alien race made any more trouble, Zhao Lianshi's life would be over on the spot.
After getting such a diagnosis, Ruan Xi didn't dare to delay for a moment. She immediately started to prick Zhao Lianshi with silver needles. Almost every acupuncture point, big and small, on his body was pricked. The effect of the acupuncture was obvious. Zhao Lianshi's body, which had been struggling to the point of being almost twisted, gradually calmed down. His eyes, which were almost popping out of their sockets, slowly closed. His breathing became steady and the painful sound from his throat was no longer emitted. If it weren't for the cold sweat that soaked through his clothes, he really looked like he was sleeping soundly.
"Huh... I'm so tired that my hands are cramping..." After being severely despised for his fighting ability, Ruan Xi began to look down on his own physical strength.
It seems that his exercise plan must be put on the agenda in advance. He was so tired that his hands cramped after just a few minutes of acupuncture. It was a shame for a doctor and unforgivable!
Seeing Ruan Xi's tangled and depressed expression, He Ziqian couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly and comforted her, "When I'm done with my work, I'll exercise with you every day."
After all, his boyfriend's fighting and physical strength really needed training. Otherwise, how could he keep up with the pace of the Eagle Squadron's missions? Although he was willing to give his all to protect his lover, he knew that truly effective protection came from his own strength. No matter how much he hated to admit it, he had to admit that he couldn't always be by Ruan Xi's side. There would always be times when he couldn't be there.
"Okay, it's a deal." Ruan Xi had made up his mind, so he had to complete it no matter how many difficulties he faced. There was no chance of backing down halfway.
The two chatted for only a few seconds and then quickly got back to the main topic.
"Zhao Lianshi...is there still hope?"
"Well, although his life is hanging by a thread, at least he is still alive. If it were any later, I'm afraid he would be too late to be saved. Help me turn him over, I want to see his back." Ruan Xi had been observing Zhao Lianshi's condition and finally found some clues from the details. After seeing Zhao Lianshi's back, his guess was immediately confirmed.
"Sure enough, it's right here. Look, this red spot is the parasitic point of the alien race." Ruan Xi had never dealt with alien races, but Chinese medicine can often apply one principle to many things. His acupuncture skills are not something to be praised casually.
"Do we need to perform surgery to catch the aliens?" This was the only thing He Ziqian could think of, but it was obvious that there was no suitable operating environment here, and Ruan Xi obviously did not look like someone who was going to perform surgery on anyone.
"We have to catch it, but it's better to save on such a troublesome thing as surgery." Ruan Xi wasn't bad at using a scalpel. He was a master of acupuncture, so how could he be bad at it? He just didn't like it.
But not liking it doesn’t mean his skills are bad.
"Then I'll be your assistant." He Ziqian took the initiative to take the assistant position and indicated with his eyes that he was ready to start work at any time.
Ruan Xi felt like laughing, but she remained calm on the surface. She nodded slightly and said, "Let's get started."
Isn't it just a parasite? He didn't understand, but the big tree did. If the big tree understood, then the little tree must understand too. Moreover, before he left Funong Star, the big tree happened to tell him a story about parasitism, so the reference effect was quite good!
"This parasite isn't complicated. That red spot is its parasitic source. No matter how it struggles within the host, it can't escape. Once it escapes, it's doomed. If only this alien were so stupid, this whole fight wouldn't have been necessary..."
In Ruan Xi's mind, Xiaoshu kept talking to him about parasitism. From time to time, he would go off topic and tell a few funny jokes, then seamlessly switch back to the topic. He was so busy that Ruan Xi was helpless.
Fortunately, the process of catching the alien this time was as simple as Xiaoshu said. With a set of silver needles locking the acupoints, the alien that was wandering around in Zhao Lianshi's body was forced back to the parasitic source on Zhao Lianshi's back.
The skin around the red spot was pushed here and there by the aliens, and finally returned to the source of the parasitism, with a brown head poking out. It was obvious that it wanted to escape, but how could Ruan Xi agree?
He Ziqian felt a flash before his eyes, and first a miniature alien suddenly jumped out from the red spot on Zhao Lianshi's back. Out of military instinct, He Ziqian reflexively reached out to catch it, lest this strange alien run away.
He Ziqian's speed was already fast enough, but a few slender silver lights were even faster than him. After a few subtle whooshing sounds, the alien was forced to shrink back.
It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but he couldn't. His body was pinned down by silver needles. What good was it to just poke his head out? They were aliens, not earthworms. They could survive even if their bodies were split in two.
"Hehe, you can't run away, right?" Ruan Xi smiled a little proudly, and made a loving eye contact with her boyfriend.
Then, just when the alien thought he had a chance to escape and was about to put it into practice, Ruan Xi struck again like lightning, and several silver needles fell down. The alien's entire body was pulled out of the host's body, and his body was full of silver needles, paralyzed. He couldn't do anything.
He Ziqian was stunned by the scene before him.
So easy, they caught a living alien? Well, although it's a little small, it's alive!
"You deal with the aliens, and I will save people." Zhao Lianshi's silver needles have a mission. He has to make a concerted effort to save Zhao Lianshi's life. He can't let this fool linger on the line between life and death.
"Okay." He Ziqian had experience dealing with aliens. He quickly tied up the miniature alien and finally stuffed it into a container with a lid. "This is safer."
"Don't worry, I used my latest anesthetic on him. Without an antidote, he won't be able to recover for at least half a month."
"Then...where is the antidote?" When He Ziqian asked this question, he actually had the answer in his heart.
"I haven't had time to do it yet. I've been too busy lately." Ruan Xi shrugged helplessly and smiled innocently.
However, it is true that I have been busy recently.
"Ugh... my back hurts so much..." He Ziqian and Ruan Xi were chatting when they suddenly heard someone groaning in pain. They looked down and saw that it was Zhao Lianshi who had woken up. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If possible, who would be willing to watch the people around them die!
The person was awake, which meant that Ruan Xi's previous treatment was effective, and he could take back all his silver needles. Ruan Xi took advantage of Zhao Lianshi's lack of consciousness and quickly collected all the silver needles and put the silver needle storage bag into the storage ring.
Then, they both looked at Zhao Lianshi. The silly boy hadn't come to his senses yet and looked around blankly. Even when Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were staring at him, the boy still didn't notice their presence.
Ruan Xi reached out and patted him lightly on the forehead with amusement, "Hey, come back to your senses."
The slap was almost effortless, but Zhao Lianshi was caught off guard. At this time, he was weak all over and was knocked back to the ground. After groaning weakly a few times, he finally saw clearly who the two people beside him were.
"Why am I here... Have we boarded the ship? Where are my brother and Yayue..." This silly boy did not let his brother and sister down. As soon as he came to his senses, the first thing he asked was them.
"The spaceship you boarded was not the one your brother and baby Yayue were on. Don't you remember anything about what happened?" Ruan Xi asked while taking Zhao Lianshi's pulse, rolling his eyelids, listening to his heartbeat, and carefully examining his body again.
"I don't remember... what happened? How did I end up with you? I clearly set out with everyone..." Having said that, Zhao Lianshi paused, as if he thought of something.
"I just went to the bathroom halfway through..." Can this really become a hot topic?
"You were possessed by this thing. It wanted to kill us when it saw us, and then it was killed in return." Ruan Xi swung the alien in the air and looked at Zhao Lianshi with a stunned look on his face, feeling quite amused.
"What is this? A little monster?"
