Chapter 39 The End of the World is Coming
Chi Qingyi is busy assisting Professor Wen with five or six surgeries today, barely having time to breathe. She only has time to open her terminal to play around when she goes out to dinner with her colleagues after get off work in the evening.
She had just picked up the roasted chicken wings she had been craving all day when she opened her terminal and saw a message from Lin He in her office software.
Chi Qingyi: ...
Help,
The chicken wings in my hand suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.
To her dismay, she had already opened the chat window, and Lin He must have already received a "read" notification.
Moreover, she was forced to update the office software last night, and the latest version of the software has a reminder in the chat box that "the other party will reply in n minutes after seeing the comment".
What genius invented this ridiculous feature?!
The boss's demands, the worker's nightmare.
Lin He is not only known in the hospital for being petty, but also for being promiscuous.
Her partner, whom Guangchi Qingyi had seen, was at least as big as a palm.
It was obvious that she had become interested in Yu Nianqing in just a few minutes yesterday.
If Yu Nianqing were single, Chi Qingyi would simply push the relationship onto her.
However, according to her observation, Heng Xing and Yu Nianqing are a perfect couple, he has feelings for her and she is interested in him.
In addition, she will be defending her thesis in the middle of this year.
Lin He might actually try to sabotage her and prevent her from graduating smoothly.
If she can't graduate smoothly, she won't be able to find a job.
Chi Qingyi's family is not well-off, and they desperately need her to start working as soon as possible to help support the family.
She frowned, caught in a dilemma. How should she respond?
Her classmates, noticing her sour face, asked curiously, "What's wrong? What news did you see that made you look so bad?"
Chi Qingyi's face turned ashen, but she forced a smile: "A text message that would be better off asking me to die than to answer it."
After reviewing Lin He's message again, Chi Qingyi wrote a reply that she had carefully considered.
[Chi Qingyi: Teacher Lin, I only have Ms. Hengxing's contact information. Do you need it?]
[Chi Qingyi: This is her terminal number: ...]

After returning to her room, Yu Nianqing lay on the bed and took a nap. When she woke up, it was already afternoon.
He didn't go to the cafeteria; he just drank a bottle of nutritional supplement and had lunch.
I got dressed, got up, walked to the window, opened it, and sunlight streamed into the room.
He stood in the light, his skin bathed in warmth, and suddenly remembered that Captain Heng's eyes were also golden, much like the color of sunlight.
He already missed her after only a few hours apart.
However, Captain Heng will not be discharged from the hospital until tomorrow night, which will take another day and a half.
Having finally found a large chunk of free time, he took out a yoga mat from his spatial storage, opened the StarNet, and decided to do a few hours of shaping exercises.
Three hours later, drenched in sweat, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
He always had no appetite after exercising, so he simply opened a bottle of nutritional supplement.
Walking into the small living room, Yu Nianqing, carrying the nutrient solution, bent down and sat on the small sofa where Heng Xing had sat yesterday. She could still smell the lingering rose fragrance in the air, faint and indistinct, making it impossible to find the source of the scent. But after giving up the idea of searching, she felt that the scent was everywhere.
He pulled out the square cushion from the back of his head and placed it on his lap. He glanced around furtively and then remembered that he was all alone in the empty room. Like a thief, he buried his face in the cushion and took a deep breath, filling his nostrils with the delicate scent of roses.
It unconsciously reminded him of when he was in heat, surrounded by pheromones that were as gentle and firm as an Alpha's.
In just half a day, he felt lonely, and even the air seemed a bit colder.
He suddenly felt something vibrating in his pocket. He took it out and found it was Hengxing's spatial button.
She entrusted the terminal and the space button to herself for safekeeping.
Who is it?
There are no warnings on the terminal surface.
He was a little curious as to who would send a message to Captain Heng.
friend?
He had never heard Captain Heng mention her friend.
He also understood that their relationship wasn't close enough for them to introduce each other as friends.
Her device vibrated every three to four minutes, which meant someone was sending her a text message.
Yu Nianqing observed the terminal for more than ten minutes, clearly noting even the scratches on the casing, their number, and their depth.
Let's forget about it.
It is wrong to pry into other people's privacy.
He put the terminal away in his personal storage and stopped looking at it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Yu Nianqing peered through the peephole and saw that it was Lin He.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" he asked as he took the anesthetic gun out of his storage compartment.
Lin He smiled at the cat-eye, "Want to go out for dinner together?"
Yu Nianqing: "Forget it, Dr. Lin, you go eat by yourself. I'm having some trouble adjusting to the new environment since I just arrived in Yula Star. I feel nauseous every time I eat dinner. I want to rest for a couple of days."
Captain Heng will be back in two days.
Lin He: "...Oh, this."
Undeterred, she said, "Why don't you open the door and I'll take a look? I'm a doctor too, I can always help."
As the large face drew closer and closer in the peephole, Yu Nianqing sensed danger approaching. Remembering that she had bought several doorstops, she quickly took them all out and inserted them under the door.
After that, no matter what Lin He said, he didn't answer. He pretended that he had left, but in reality, he was secretly standing by the door watching the outside movements, his hand tightly gripping the gun.
Lin He said a few more words outside the door and then fell silent.
He thought she had almost given up and would be able to leave soon, so he felt a little relieved.
Looking through the peephole again, I found that my field of vision had turned black.
Did she block it with something?
Yu Nianqing cursed her inwardly for being disgusting.
Half a minute later, his vision brightened, and as he watched Lin He's face move away from the peephole and confirmed that her figure was out of sight, he put down his gun.
My palms were sweaty and my joints ached as I held the gun.
What was blocking the cat's eyes wasn't a hand, but her own eyes!
Yu Nianqing comforted herself, saying that the peephole was one-way and she couldn't see inside from the outside.
Before going to bed, he moved a few more chairs to block the door.
Thanks to Lin He, he didn't sleep well at all tonight.

The next day, Yu Nianqing was awakened by a continuous series of "beep beep" sounds.
He got up, slightly annoyed. He hadn't set an alarm, so why was the terminal constantly beeping?
I picked up the terminal from the bedside table, and just as I was about to open it, I suddenly heard a "ding" sound that lasted for almost a minute.
Um?
He stood up, walked to the window, and tried to find the source of the sound.
Looking out the window, he saw a strange scene:
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Everyone on the ground, regardless of whether they were wearing white coats, hospital gowns, or regular clothes, and regardless of whether they had urgent business to attend to, stood frozen in place, looking up at the sky.
What's in the sky?
Yu Nianqing pushed the window open completely, leaned out of the window, and looked up at the sky like the others.
It seems like there's nothing there.
The sky was still the sky, a clear, pure blue without any other colors, with the wind pushing the white clouds slowly across it, leaving behind only a few fluffy white specks.
The weather is really nice today.
wrong.
The sky looks unnaturally blue.
Yu Nianqing squinted and carefully examined the clouds, noticing a thin blue film on them.
If I'm not mistaken, this blue membrane is a protective shield for the planet.
He frowned in confusion. Why would the planet's protective shield be activated suddenly?
Once the protective shield is activated, the passageway to and from the planet can only accommodate one spaceship at most.
In other words, the port of Yula Star is almost closed, making it impossible to enter or leave, and the entire planet is in a closed state.
The last time the protective shield was activated was ten years ago, when the Empire was suddenly plagued by insects and had to activate the shield to prevent the insect beasts from invading the planet.
He closed the window and returned to the small sofa.
[Imperial Security Department in conjunction with Imperial Research Institute:]
Due to a sudden insect infestation on planet C02, resulting in an overflow of insectoid creatures, maintenance forces have been dispatched. All planets have temporarily activated their protective shields, and ports are temporarily closed. The public is asked not to worry and to remain understanding. Spaceships currently in space are requested to send access requests to nearby planets as soon as possible and immediately enter their protected areas.
It's a real insect infestation!
Yu Nianqing recalled the planetary explosion he and Heng Xing had witnessed a week ago, and the black insect-like beast that emerged from the ground.
If you find a cockroach in your home, it means that there are so many cockroaches in the dark that they're overflowing.
Just like ten years ago, humans discovered t too late.
He immediately opened the map to find C02 and discovered that this small planet was very close to Yula.
Ten years ago, there were many examples of insectoid beasts shattering planetary protective shields. He didn't know and dared not gamble whether the protective shield of Yula Star could withstand the surging tide of insectoid beasts.
The planet Yula has always been peaceful, and its garrison doesn't have much combat capability.
No one can be sure whether the same mistakes will be repeated this time.
Yu Nianqing quickly packed her things and rushed towards the treatment ward building.
As the end of the world for Ela Star approaches, he will stay with Captain Heng.
