Chapter 106 - Cheating
Chapter 106 - Cheating
Duan Yunhong had a medical kit in his car. Before going to the hospital, he insisted that Ning Fei remove the ugly bandage and spray Ning Fei with new medicine.
The good news is that the bleeding has basically stopped. The bad news was that the bloody bandage had already solidified and required strong ripping to be removed, which made Ning Fei so exhausted that he couldn't help but let out a "hiss". He clenched his fists and frowned, "You'd better not remove it, otherwise the hospital will have to deal with it again later, and I will suffer in vain. It's better to go to the hospital and get it done in one go. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one."
"We won't put on bandages after spraying the medicine. The hospital will at most give you a few stitches." Duan Yunhong didn't stop at all and resolutely cleaned the bandage on Ning Fei's hand. His speed, ruthlessness and accuracy were no less than that of a professional doctor. No matter how Ning Fei grimaced, Duan Yunhong grabbed the bandage and started tearing it off. If Ning Fei scolded him, he would retort, "It's your fault that those crappy teammates tied you up so badly."
The pain seemed to last longer, but in fact it only lasted a few minutes before Duan Yunhong had removed the bandage. He stopped to observe the wound. Ning Fei saw him staring at it intently and said, "Why don't you take a video?"
Duan Yunhong raised his eyes and looked at him: "...what?"
"Aren't you observing the efficacy of the drugs in your research institute? Why don't you take a picture and take it back for research? It's a pity that no one thought to take a picture before the criticism." Ning Fei replied, "You see all this blood, but in fact most of it just flowed over, and there are some burn marks. The wound caused by the bullet is not big, just this little bit."
As he spoke, he used his left index finger and thumb to indicate a distance, and calmly stated, "I only cut off a little flesh. Fuck, wait a minute, your medicine heals so quickly that the blood on my wound has solidified together. When the doctor cleans the wound later, he won't have to cut it all open!"
Duan Yunhong: “…”
"Don't touch it!" Ning Fei saw his hesitation and knew that he didn't know what was going on. He immediately blocked the spray in his hand and said, "Leave it like this for now and go to the hospital to see what the doctor says. At worst, wait until you're done with the stitches before spraying it. It won't delay your drug trial, right?"
Duan Yunhong said: "I don't have to write a report."
"What?"
"…It's nothing, use it if you want." Duan Yunhong put the spray back into the medicine box and put the whole box away. "You just stay in the back seat. I'll drive directly to the hospital."
Ning Fei looked at his actions and suddenly burst out laughing.
Duan Yunhong, who was about to get out of the car and go to the driver's seat, turned around and gave a puzzled look.
"Haha, I just remembered the first time I got in your car, it was because you thought I was injured." Ning Fei said happily, "You also treated my wound in the car, and later I went to the hospital for a tetanus shot."
Duan Yunhong said sternly: "You may also get tetanus this time."
Ning Fei: "The bullet only scratched me a little, and the temperature was high, so it's impossible to have tetanus."
Duan Yunhong: "It is because of your burns that you are likely to get tetanus infection."
Ning Fei thought to himself that there was no chance of burns and infection on such a small area, but he did not argue with the stubborn Duan Yunhong. Instead, he changed the subject: "After going to the hospital, will the rest of the trip be repeated?"
Duan Yunhong: “…”
After going to the hospital last time, I went to Duan Yunhong's house. Needless to say, what happened next.
"...I have to go to work this afternoon." Duan Yunhong finished speaking, and seeing Ning Fei raised his eyebrows, he added, "But you can stay at my house, I won't work overtime."
"Pfft, okay." Ning Fei leaned back in his chair. He knew that he and Duan Yunhong would always have to encounter this kind of thing, because of their relationship, and more because Duan Yunhong wanted to "interrogate" clearly what Ning Fei was up to. Rather than waiting for Duan Yunhong to force him to face it, Ning Fei felt that it would be better for him to take the initiative and seize the opportunity. Therefore, the moment Duan Yunhong suggested "follow me", Ning Fei made up his mind to go all the way.
Duan Yunhong finally got out of the car and moved to the front seat.
Ning Fei looked at him in the rearview mirror and reminded him, "Director Duan, the hostages also have food to eat, right?"
Duan Yunhong paused as he started the car: "...I won't starve you to death."
***
In the end, Ning Fei didn't have to get tetanus, didn't need stitches, and didn't even have to go through rigorous wound cleaning.
After observing the wound, the doctor thought it had healed well. Although it is visually visible that a small piece of flesh is missing, the human body can repair itself over time, so there is no need to reopen the area that has already healed.
The doctor cleaned the area around Ning Fei's wound, prescribed some disinfectant, and let him go.
The following afternoon, Ning Fei happily had lunch at Director Duan's house, took a refreshing bath, and had a good sleep. When Duan Yunhong came back, he brought dinner. It was basically like eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. It was so comfortable.
The two sat opposite each other, eating and chatting. The topics they talked about were things like what went wrong with today's mission and Huichuan's infrastructure, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the kitchen leftovers together, and Duan Yunhong took the garbage that could not be left overnight outside to throw away.
When he returned to the house and the door slammed shut behind him, Ning Fei knew that the "showdown moment" had arrived.
Duan Yunhong seemed to have noticed Ning Fei's condition. He returned to the sofa in the living room, poured water for himself and Ning Fei, and then sat on the single sofa.
This was his usual tactic, Ning Fei understood it, and he prepared to find a way to put pressure on him.
As expected, Duan Yunhong's first sentence was quite straightforward: "Tell me, what lines have you come up with to deal with me in this afternoon?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if Ning Fei had determined that whatever he said next was a lie prepared in advance. If Ning Fei were to argue about this and emphasize that he was telling the truth, he would be even more inferior to Duan Yunhong in momentum.
They were not having a conversation or a debate, but a game.
A game that even concerns the future of this world.
Ning Fei leaned against the sofa, didn't drink any water, and maintained a calm and natural posture: "What's there to make up? Where is Chen Yikun's adopted daughter now? Don't you know?"
Duan Yunhong didn't buy his rhetoric: "Don't beat around the bush."
"Okay, don't be so serious." Ning Fei smiled. "Look at Chen Yikun now, you should be able to tell that he is in good condition. If there is a task waiting for him to do urgently, would I let him move freely like this?"
"So, the person you were waiting for last night was indeed Wang Haiyang." Duan Yunhong also leaned against the sofa, staring at Ning Fei with scrutiny, "But let's talk about this topic later. I just want to confirm whether you cheated in this bet?"
"Cheating is too harsh." Ning Fei smiled, "I was just selected to support the mission. Before entering this world, I had no idea how far the mission had progressed."
"You don't know? Are you sure?" Duan Yunhong asked, "Chen Yikun's adopted daughter has already gone to Tianyue, right?"
"Why are you asking when you already know the answer? The research institute is recruiting volunteers for new drugs based on her symptoms, but the welfare home didn't submit her. Doesn't that mean she's not in Huichuan at all?" Ning Fei looked directly at Duan Yunhong. Just when Duan Yunhong thought he was going to beat around the bush, Ning Fei suddenly said, "She is indeed in Tianyue, and has been in Tianyue for a long time. Was it a year ago or two years ago? I can't tell for sure."
Seeing that he admitted it directly, Duan Yunhong simply asked directly: "Are Chen Yikun's parents still alive and well in Tianyue?"
"right."
"Is Chen Yikun's current treatment also very good?"
"I can't say she's particularly good, but she's definitely not bad." Ning Fei said leisurely, "His parents also have simple jobs. The adoption procedures for the adopted daughter have been completed long ago. Although the disease cannot be cured, the medication to control the symptoms is continuous, so there is little danger. The adopted daughter has gone to school like a normal child.
"Oh, there is an ex-girlfriend. She should still be alive...right? It is better to live than to die. No matter how difficult life is, don't you still have to live?"
"You said all this, aren't you just trying to say that the debt collection mission has been completed?"
Duan Yunhong sneered, leaned forward, and stared at Ning Fei's face with sharp eyes: "We made a bet on the success or failure of this debt collection mission, but you chose a sure-win game. Is this your strategy? Do you want to see if I will directly kill the traverser or his mission target?"
"Duan Yunhong, do you think I am such a person?" Ning Fei seemed not to be affected by his fierceness at all, and smiled lightly, "If I had deliberately chosen a sure-win game, why would I stay here now?"
He raised his right hand: "Why am I suffering like this?"
"So what do you want to do?" Duan Yunhong looked at the bandage on his arm for two seconds and asked, "No, I should ask the same question as before - why did you look for Wang Haiyang? What is the purpose of you and your colleague who asked you for support now?"
Ning Fei looked at him and said slowly: "We want to save the world."
"...What?" Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming a little unbelievable, "You want to save the world? This doesn't seem to be your mission, right?"
"No, but it is his sweetheart's wish."
"'Little sweetheart'?" Duan Yunhong was a little confused. "What are you talking about? Who is this?"
"The commander-in-chief of Tianyue Base is Yue Fengping. He is the partner of my colleague, and his wish is to lead Tianyue Base and put an end to the zombie crisis." Ning Fei spread his hands, "It's like a superhero, but a bit naive, right? But my colleague is a love-brained person, so he decided to fulfill this wish. He wants to make Tianyue Base the hope of the world, and make Yue Fengping a hero who saves the world. So, he called me to help."
He was telling the truth, but he was also lying. His lies were mixed with the truth and were too hard to detect.
"Is Wang Haiyang also part of your plan?" Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had finally figured out the role of this scientist. "I've seen Wang Haiyang's research direction, which is researching vaccines. Do you think he can develop results that are immune to mutant viruses?"
"...No comment." Ning Fei replied, "No matter what I say or not, you will definitely interfere, right? Wang Haiyang is actually your subordinate. I am really impressed. You are wasting my time."
Duan Yunhong looked at him and said, "I chose this position to control Chen Yikun's adopted daughter. Now I can intercept you, which is an unexpected gain."
"Let's stop beating around the bush, Duan Yunhong." Ning Fei finally straightened his back and looked straight at Duan Yunhong. "Let me be frank. Since the debt collection mission has been basically finalized and I'm working hard for another goal, let's just change the content of the bet. This will also save us from delaying the game, right? Besides, I don't know how long I will spend in this world."
Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell me first."
Ning Fei looked straight at him, his eyes unbiased: "Let's bet...Whether it is Tianyue Base or Huichuan Base that will become the protagonist to end the zombie crisis, how about it?"
Duan Yunhong pondered for a few seconds.
He said, “Yes.”
Ning Fei: ...I got fooled! ! !
