Wearing the uniform white coat of the Second Medical Team, He Mo began his first day as a military doctor. His assigned job was to take care of the exotic animals in Ward 06-09 on the second floor.
The white coat is very loose and has two pockets. The right pocket contains alien beast anesthetic to prevent sudden violent attacks from alien beasts, and the left pocket is empty.
When I pushed open the door of Ward 06, there was a sweet smell in the air, which was very pleasant. After entering this room, I seemed to feel a little relaxed.
It was only after entering the room that I discovered that there were quite a few goldfish flowers inside. This flower looks like a fish, with petals half the size of a palm, and red, gold and orange colors complementing each other, making it unique. Not only that, when it blooms, it releases a special factor that makes people feel happy. Many ladies in the Federation like to buy potted goldfish flowers and put them in their bedrooms.
Unexpectedly, apart from the conspicuous goldfish flower pot, there was no special bed in the room. Instead, there was a huge wooden bucket. The bucket was very wide and tall, nearly three meters high, with a wooden spiral staircase next to it.
He Mo walked up step by step and soon reached the top. The wooden bucket did not contain clear water, but a pitch-black liquid whose color could not be seen. He Mo could not tell what kind of strange beast was inside.
Gurgle, sensing someone coming, the liquid began to bubble, and a creature slowly emerged.
A hint of white gradually appeared in the black liquid, and then an old face emerged. He had a pair of pure blue eyes. Looking into these eyes was like looking into the endless ocean. When the old man saw He Mo, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and his low voice was filled with joy: "There's a newcomer."
The old man was obviously in a good mood. He floated up with great effort and placed his trembling hands on the edge of the wooden barrel, revealing his upper body covered with black spots. He Mo could vaguely see some of the old man's curled fish scales at his waist, some of which were very loose and fell into the black liquid as the old man moved.
It turned out to be an old mermaid.
He Mo quickly reached out to help the mermaid steady herself. The mermaid was very light, and the surface temperature of her skin was so cold that she could hardly feel the heat. Only after the mermaid was floating steadily did she stand up and introduce herself: "Hello, I'm the new military doctor, He Mo."
"Good boy, no one has taken care of me since Qiuju left." The old mermaid said with some emotion. Its scales have been falling off more and more frequently recently. It is estimated that it will leave this world soon, but it still wants to take another look at the sea of its hometown and sing with its tribesmen on the beach facing the sea breeze.
He Mo keenly noticed that the old merman was in a somewhat depressed mood. There was longing and memories in his eyes. The mermaid race, strictly speaking, was not an alien beast. They belonged to the AD planet in the Sagittarius galaxy. A long time ago, the Zerg invaded the Sagittarius galaxy and the mermaids were ruthlessly slaughtered. Fortunately, the federal army arrived and rescued them, but most of the mermaids had been slaughtered. In the end, there were only less than 10,000 mermaids left. This was not the most tragic thing.
The most tragic thing is that the ocean they live in is polluted, and mermaids can no longer survive on AD Star. They have no choice but to migrate to the Central Star for the reproduction and development of their tribe.
The mermaids' singing can calm the mind and promote the growth of exotic beasts. It can also soothe the hearts of soldiers who have just come off the battlefield. In order to protect these unique mermaids, the Federation analyzed the seawater of AD Star and simulated this black liquid with a similar composition to the seawater of AD Star. However, the mermaids can no longer gallop in the sea. They have lost their freedom.
After reading the mermaid's case, He Mo felt heavy in his heart. This was the sorrow of an entire tribe. They were forced to live in a black liquid called nutrient water. Although they could survive, their lifespan was directly reduced by half. The Federation had been looking for the reason for their shortened lifespan, but still had no clue.
Point out a few important points in the case. First, the nutrient water for the mermaid needs to be changed. The substances in the simulated seawater will gradually dissipate into the air, so the nutrient water for the mermaid must be replaced at any time. He Mo followed the contents of the case and did it carefully.
Although the old mermaid was old, her voice was still very pleasant, and she always had a kind and gentle smile on her face. She chatted with great interest: "Xiao Mo, which wards are you in charge of? I am very familiar with this place, especially the strange beasts in the ward on the second floor."
"So..." the old mermaid asked hesitantly in a low voice, "Can we not change the nutrient water today? Let me tell you about these strange beasts."
"Captain You, you must change the nutrient water today." He Mo said helplessly. The mermaid is good in every way except that she doesn't like to change the nutrient water. This was pointed out in great detail in the medical record.
"Alas." The old mermaid sighed. It is becoming increasingly difficult to fool newcomers nowadays.
"Why don't you dive down? I'm afraid you'll fall down when the nutrient water is drained." He Mo reminded her. Once he drained all the nutrient water, the mermaid would be suspended in the air. A middle-aged mermaid would be able to hold on, but the old mermaid was very old and had very little strength. Her arms could not support her own weight.
The old mermaid was stunned for a moment, and his heart was touched by these words. He nodded obediently and dived down, sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the wooden barrel with some emotion. No new child had ever reminded him carefully. Every time he had to use all his strength to cling to the wooden barrel, waiting anxiously for the water in the barrel to flood over his fishtail again.
"Okay, the nutrient water has been changed. Captain You, I'll go to another ward first and come back to see you in the afternoon." After changing the nutrient water, He Mo said to the old mermaid and walked towards the second ward.
As it happened, I met Captain Wang just as I walked to the door. He was holding a furry little guy in his arms. It seemed that the baby was just born not long ago, with its eyes tightly closed and its body pink.
"What a poor little guy." Captain Wang muttered softly. The little guy in his arms was sleeping very soundly and had not woken up yet.
"Captain Wang." He Mo walked over to say hello, and when he got closer, he found that the cub in Captain Wang's arms was sleeping soundly, lying sideways obediently, with its white and tender belly bulging, which was very cute.
"Xiao Mo, how are you adapting?" Captain Wang asked in a low voice, afraid of waking up the little guy in his arms.
"Not bad." He Mo replied in a low voice.
"You do a good job. I still have to do a birth test for the little one. If you have any questions, you can come to me." Captain Wang patted He Mo's shoulder encouragingly and walked away carefully with the little one in his arms.
He Mo was just about to open the door of Ward No. 7 when a clear "bang" came from a room not far away. Then he heard a scream of pain. It was Ward No. 12. The door was open and he could vaguely see a man in a white coat sitting on the ground. He should be his colleague.
He Mo opened the door and walked towards Ward 12. Something unexpected must have happened. Before he reached the door, a pale yellow spherical object floated out of Ward 12.
He Mo subconsciously hugged the object, lowered his head and met a pair of angry eyes: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
"Hey, don't let Xiao Huang get away." When Huang Tuanzi floated out, the girl in the ward finally realized what was happening and screamed as she chased after him. Seeing Huang Tuanzi safely held by He Mo, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her pretty face wrinkled in distress, and she clasped her hands together, begging for mercy: "Xiao Huang, please don't make things difficult for me. Just take the medicine obediently."
The yellow ball's target was no longer the girl. It used all its strength to run around in He Mo's arms, trying to break out and escape. However, no matter how it moved, He Mo's arms remained steady.
"Chirp, chirp!" The yellow ball became even angrier, and its big eyes, which occupied one fifth of its body, glared at He Mo fiercely. However, it looked so soft and cute that even with an angry expression, it would not make people feel dangerous.
"Thank you. Could you please take Xiao Huang to the ward for me? I'm afraid it will escape if I come." The girl put her heart at ease and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared with some surprise. She didn't expect that this man looked weak but was very strong. Xiao Huang was too slippery and she couldn't catch it every time. This time, she didn't close the door properly and almost let it escape. This little guy is really troublesome.
He Mo responded and walked towards Ward 12. The little yellow ball became even angrier, chirping non-stop and jumping even more vigorously.
"What's wrong with it?" He Mo asked. Although this little guy looks small, he is actually very strong. There is a layer of mucus on the spherical surface, which makes it slippery. It is difficult to catch it without some strength.
Hearing this, the girl's face turned sad. "Little Huang is picky about food and refuses to take medicine. I spent a lot of effort to coax him to drink medicine once, but I didn't expect the little guy to learn his lesson. He refused to drink medicine the second time. How can he be good if he doesn't take medicine?"
"Can't you give him an injection?" He Mo didn't expect that the little guy wanted to run away because he was picky about food, and he couldn't help but smile.
The girl shook her head, a look of worry on her face. "If I could give him an injection, I would have given him one long ago. Look at Xiao Huang, he's so slippery all over, there's no way the needle can penetrate him."
It was clearly just a matter of taking a few doses of medicine, but Xiao Huang refused to take it, which really worried her to death.
He Mo asked hesitantly, "Xiao Huang, is it a plankton?"
The girl nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Yes, do you have a way to get Xiao Huang to take the medicine?"
In recent days, she was so worried about getting Xiao Huang to take medicine that her hair almost turned white. She specially consulted several military doctors with longer experience, but they also had no good way to get Xiao Huang to take medicine. Seeing Xiao Huang's condition getting worse, she was really worried and anxious.
After closing the ward door, He Mo carefully handed Xiao Huang to the girl: "I'll try my best."
