Chapter 103 Your Takeaway
Liu Fengchun has always been researching brain diseases. After his death, he left behind valuable data on the entire process from onset to desertification. Brain diseases also became the main research direction of Professor Shen Bohong and his team on desertification in the following years.
Chen Luan and Huo Lin didn't understand the professional terms that Qiao Zhile said. They only knew that they had finally achieved a breakthrough in the research on wasteland disease and were on the road to progress with light ahead.
There is a small fountain in the Zhixing Square of the School of Medicine. In the past, when Liu Fengchun was feeling down because of experimental failure or lost, he would always sit on a bench beside the fountain and quietly watch the water rise and fall.
If the direction is wrong, he will look for it again; if the experiment fails, he will do it again. He thought that he could always find the right one through trial and error.
A few years ago, Liu Fengchun, who had experienced failure again, sat here and decided on the direction of brain disease, which was different from the direction of genetic diseases that Professor Shen Bohong had been studying.
Everyone says that Liu Fengchun is a genius. At the age of 30, he has already published many papers in top journals. Professor Shen Bohong even believes that if he cannot find a way out of the wasteland disease in this lifetime, the next person to find it will definitely be his beloved disciple Liu Fengchun.
Now Qiao Zhile was sitting on the bench where Liu Fengchun often sat, holding the experimental records, and he placed the stacks of records in his hand on the chair and unfolded them one by one.
"Brother, look."
"you are right."
A little bit of moisture fell and shattered on the paper.
Qiao Zhile started crying again.
He looked at Chen Luan who was beside him with his swollen eyes like two peaches: "Brother Luan, you said -"
"Can he see it?"
A breeze came from nowhere and blew through the corners of Chen Luan's clothes and Qiao Zhile's messy hair.
Chen Luan lowered his eyes, thinking about where he came from and where he was standing. He gently curved his eyes, raised his hand and touched the top of Qiao Zhile's head, and said in a gentle voice, "Yes."
“Crash—”
The wind suddenly got stronger, and the papers of the latest experimental review flew around, stopping at the last page amidst the rustling sound.
"In summary, this series of experiments has for the first time conclusively demonstrated the strong coupling between EEG activity in specific frequency bands and the desolation process..."
A yellow butterfly flew from nowhere and gently landed, stopped for a moment at the last row, then fluttered its wings and flew over Qiao Zhile's tearful eyes, then flew away on the wind.
Qiao Zhile stared blankly at the bright yellow light as bright as spring drifting away with the wind, wiping his eyes and suddenly smiling again.
"Brother Luan."
"Um?"
"We're going to beat this, right?"
Chen Luan looked up at the bright and beautiful sky and nodded: "I definitely will."
Just like the way he came - humans who were forced into the dark and damp bunker will eventually regain the ground and see the blue sky again.
Because there will always be people who dedicate everything to this beautiful world.
Therefore, mankind can still seize one new spring after another.
After a drizzle of spring rain, the sycamore trees on campus finally showed some new green in the moist air.
Chen Luan, who had been sitting in the office for a long time cramming through a mountain of documents, rubbed his stuffy brows, stood up and opened the window to let the moist and fresh wind from outside in, and the dizziness was relieved a little.
During his more than two years of sick leave, he has been traveling around the safe areas away from the contaminated area. Occasionally, he went to hospitals in big cities to replenish anti-infection medicines. However, Chen Luan, who often paid attention to military reports, was aware that the situation in the contaminated area was becoming more and more serious.
But it was not until he got the internal information about the contaminated area that the military would not make public that he realized the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.
In addition to K9091, which had an accident that year, four more low-risk pollution areas have been revived and upgraded to medium-risk areas.
Another area that was just lifted from the ban three years ago was also detected with abnormal pollution values six months ago.
Fortunately, the area has not been developed yet and no casualties have been caused. It has now been re-sealed and all development activities in newly released areas have been halted for five years.
What's worse is that the ecological activity value and pollution index in the core area of Pollution Zone 0 are about to exceed the safety warning line. The military is holding a meeting to decide whether to send a fleet to venture into the core area for investigation.
It is the place where the wild beasts first landed. The pollution index is so high that a Class A mecha can only stay there for 72 hours at most before the protective coating is destroyed and the body begins to corrode.
Even the most advanced S-class mecha currently available cannot survive more than a week if exposed to the polluted environment of Core Area 0.
When Huo Lin knocked on Chen Luan's office door, he had just turned to the last piece of information in his hand, which was a reply to the report on the primitive wild beast sighting that he had submitted in No. f6141.
It was written in black and white: "Report received, confirmed and cleared."
"Chen Luan."
The light coming in from the door was partially blocked, and Chen Luan could not see the expression on Huo Lin's face clearly because he was facing the direction of the light.
It just doesn't sound very good.
He put down the information in his hand: "Sister Lin."
The footsteps stopped in front of Chen Luan's desk, and a notification document was handed to Chen Luan.
A sigh echoed in the office. "The military has just suspended all low-risk field combat programs at the military academy. This is an official notice."
"all?"
Chen Luan frowned, his heart sinking slightly.
The document in his hand was only a thin page with two short lines of words, but it made Chen Luan's fingers holding the paper suddenly tighten a little.
"According to a joint resolution of the military, effective immediately, all field combat training programs at military academies in contaminated areas will be suspended. All previously scheduled field combat training programs will be converted to on-campus training by military academies in each state until subsequent safety assessments are completed."
Yes, all of them.
Unlike previous suspensions of training for a single contaminated area, from today onwards, all practical training in field contaminated areas will be suspended.
Reopening time is yet to be determined.
The air seemed to stagnate.
Amid the sound of the wind blowing through the hall, Chen Luan felt his heart beating uncontrollably.
He looked up at Huo Lin, his voice a little stagnant: "...What's the reason?"
This is not normal.
What happened in the contaminated area?
By the way, Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun sent him a message the night before yesterday, saying that he had an urgent mission to go on, but he still hasn't come out to report that he is safe.
Chen Luan suddenly felt his fingers become a little stiff.
...Is he safe?
"I have no idea."
Huo Lin shook his head.
She has retired, and most of the information about the contaminated area within the fleet is now told to her by Liang Yingying.
But since the day before yesterday, she has been unable to contact Liang Yingying.
Although it is normal to be unable to contact anyone when performing clearing or rescue missions in a fleet that often needs to enter and exit contaminated areas, Huo Lin couldn't help but feel a little depressed when coupled with this sudden document.
The situation in the contaminated area must have undergone some new and unfavorable changes, which led the military to stop all field training in order to ensure the safety of the students.
Chen Luan just went to the hospital today to get his physical examination report, which proved that his physical indicators were normal and the infection caused by the previous accident had been completely metabolized. He can now return to the contaminated area to lead the team.
The physical examination report is still on the desk and is ready to be submitted early tomorrow morning.
...Are you still paying it back?
Chen Luan lowered his eyes and looked at the medical examination report placed in the transparent file bag, and was silent for a moment.
Anyway, hand it in first.
Whether the training ground in the contaminated area is open or not doesn’t affect anything. At least when it reopens in the future, he can be there on call at any time.
Chen Luan was a little restless the whole afternoon, and any vibration from his cell phone would make him jump with fear.
He began to look forward to Jiang Xun's text message to report that he was safe, but he was secretly panicking in case it was not good news but bad news.
The clock hands moved minute by minute, and the ticking sound was as clear as Chen Lu's heartbeat.
The phone was turned on and off, and on and off again, constantly refreshing the message list.
Jiang Ling was still complaining to him this morning that the cafeteria seemed to have changed contractors and the food suddenly became very unpalatable, and she posted a photo of the bland food.
The news about Jiang Xun stopped the night before yesterday.
Chen Luan took out a bag of fruit candies from the drawer, stood by the windowsill and looked at the foggy city silhouette in the distance. He pursed his lips, peeled off the candy wrapper, and took a bite of one in his mouth. When his fingers tightened, the candy wrapper was crushed in the palm of his hand, making a crackling sound.
It'll be fine.
Jiang Xun has excellent combat skills, he will be fine.
Chen Luan has a confrontation training class in the afternoon.
Even though he was anxious and worried, Chen Luan did not compromise the quality of classroom teaching because of this incident.
He is Jiang Xun's brother and also the instructor of these children. In the future, they will also enter dangerous contaminated areas, and Chen Luan will be responsible for them.
When the class was over, Chen Luan couldn't wait for the students to leave and immediately went to the locker to pick up his phone.
The screen lit up, and the red dot on the contact icon made Chen Luan's heart beat faster than his throat.
Yu: Are you free tonight? We just received a new batch of wine. Could you please have Mr. Chen taste it for us?
Chen Luan: “…”
His face visibly fell.
[Chen Qie can't do it: I don't have time.]
The next second, the phone suddenly rang.
It’s Jiang Ling.
From the other end of the line came Jiang Ling's voice, deliberately pinched to sound like an electronic broadcaster:
"Hello, Mr. Chen, you have a takeaway, please check it."
At the end of the words, there was an uncontrollable smile.
"What takeout?"
Chen Luan exhaled softly, leaned against the corridor pillar, and tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible.
Everything is still uncertain now, maybe it was just a false alarm.
So there is no need to let Jiang Ling know,
There is no need to let Jiang Ling worry as well.
But then, Jiang Ling's puzzled voice rang out in his ears: "Chen Luan, what's wrong with you? Your voice doesn't sound right."
Chen Luan was stunned for a moment.
He underestimated Jiang Ling's sharpness.
He bit the candy, feeling the sweetness filling his mouth. "It's okay, just a little tired. There are so many documents to fill out, they're almost flooding my office."
"Yeah?"
"How about you come and see for yourself how many documents are piled on my desk?"
Chen Luan's voice was filled with a lazy smile again. "Alright, if you have something to say, let's talk about it. I only have 30 minutes to rest. I still have a simulator training session later."
"Come out to get takeout. It's in Alley 9, across from the school gate."
"What shameful things are you hiding?" Chen Luan got up and walked out of the training ground towards the school gate. "Can't you just leave it at the gate post and I'll get it later?"
"You're so long-winded. Hurry up."
"I know, I know. I only have two legs and I can't fly. Even if you urge me, I can't flash over. I'm dead."
When Chen Luan quickened his pace and arrived at Alley No. 9 opposite the school, he didn't see any knight in delivery clothes. He was wondering how to call Jiang Ling when a figure suddenly appeared in the slightly dark alley, grabbed his wrist and threw him into the alley.
With his back leaning against the cold, hard wall, Chen Luan subconsciously wanted to hit it with his elbow, but stopped himself the moment he saw the other person clearly.
The familiar smell embraced him and enveloped him.
Chen Luan looked up at the alpha in front of him, who was wearing a fully armed tactical uniform, his body tightly wrapped up, with only a pair of bright golden eyes visible above his face, and laughed:
"I thought you were giving me something, but it turns out you're this shameful thing."
The arms around him tightened a little, making it difficult for Chen Luan to breathe.
He pushed Jiang Ling's helmet: "Get away, I can't breathe——"
Before he could finish his words, the alpha in front of him squinted his eyes and pulled off his mask, blocking Chen Luan's breathing.
The scent lingered in the air, accompanied by the slightly damp and cool smell of the alley after the rain.
It was not until Chen Luan bit the other person's mouth that the breath that was entangled with him finally relaxed a little.
Jiang Ling trapped Chen Luan between herself and the wall, and looked down at him: "I haven't seen you for several days, don't you miss me?"
Chen Luan raised his eyelids: "If you didn't come to me every day to report every time you eat or poop, maybe I would really think about it."
He pushed the warm chest away a little and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say you were delivering food? Is that all? You didn't actually send someone over, did you? Then I'll give you a bad review."
"I really want to send someone to go home with you tonight."
Jiang Ling spread his hands helplessly and took out a still warm roast chicken: "Unfortunately, I'm on patrol today, so I can only let it accompany you."
"Where are you from?"
Chen Luan was holding the bag of roast chicken, a little surprised.
He remembered that this roast chicken shop was quite far from the school: "Why did you suddenly think of sending me roast chicken?"
"I went on a mission there and bought it on the way—"
Jiang Ling paused for a moment, then pressed the headset that suddenly lit up, and replied with a low voice, "Got it," before looking at Chen Luan again:
"I saw you like this store tour video a couple of days ago, and I happened to pass by today and bought some for you to try. Okay, I have to get back to the team."
After saying that, he came closer, quickly touched the corner of Chen Luan's lips, pulled up his mask, and disappeared around the corner of the alley.
“Eat it while it’s hot.”
Chen Luan stood there for a moment holding the roast chicken, then he smiled and shook his head, then went back to school with the roast chicken.
On the other side, Jiang Ling, who had already returned to the team and got on the bus, had a slightly gloomy look in his eyes. He always felt that there was something wrong with Chen Luan's condition.
Thinking of his twin brother who had gone on an emergency mission the day before yesterday and still hadn't come out, Jiang Ling frowned and picked up his phone:
【：Still alive?】
【：Is the mission over? 】
It still gets dark early in early spring.
Chen Luan still couldn't wait for Jiang Xun's reply. With an unrelieved anxiety weighing on his increasingly heavy chest, Chen Luan drove back to the community.
It was almost dark, but the sun had already set, staining the spaces between the buildings a dim indigo.
After parking the car, Chen Luan walked towards the building door absentmindedly, looking up and glancing casually.
The lights in the house are not on.
--wrong.
A flash of light appeared in his peripheral vision, and Chen Luan stopped and looked up.
The light at the familiar window, which had been dark just a moment ago, came on.
Bang,
Bang bang——
Chen Luan heard his heartbeat rushing to his eardrums.
He quickly ran into the building and pressed the elevator button. Without waiting for the elevator door to open completely, he rushed to the door of his home.
Insert the key and open the door.
But what rushed into the nose before the familiar figure came into view was the strong smell of disinfectant and the slight but unignorable smell of blood.
Chen Luan stood at the door, his throat rolling: "...Jiang Xun?"
