Chapter 160 Congratulations, Mr. Ye
"Don't worry, I just want to tell you that I am using the medicine sent by headquarters. If the medicine is effective, I will send some to you." Ye Qi said.
Qiao Lan was shocked when she heard this. "Is there medicine?" Ye Qi and his headquarters must be very powerful. They were in charge of national security before the apocalypse.
Although the entire official system is paralyzed now, some of the remaining departments can still exert some strength, right?
She immediately said that someone on her side was already sick and said, "I'll go get the medicine now!"
She prepared to take out the plane from her space and send it by express delivery within the city to pick up the medicine for Geng Duofu and Huihui.
But Ye Qi stopped him: "The medicine just arrived last night. The use process and method are very strict. I will give it to you after I understand it. It is not appropriate to give it to ordinary people now."
"Are you okay with that?"
"Of course not. You know I have strong abilities and a good physique."
Ye Qi's voice was very gentle, and he told Qiao Lan that in addition to medicine, the awakened person of the mental soothing system in the base had already used his ability to treat diseases, which had some effect, and he would ask him to come to Qiao Lan to help later.
"Well, thank you."
"Are you still saying thank you to me?"
Ye Qi chatted briefly and then hung up.
Qiao Lan looked at the quiet little communicator and felt a little strange.
She knew Ye Qi was incredibly busy every day, managing the base and improving his abilities, leaving him with very little free time. He'd squeeze in a little contact every two days, but besides expressing his longing for her, he'd also chat about the base, the city, and even report his weight that day, proving he was working hard to gain weight... In short, the conversations would last at least three to five minutes.
It has never happened before that the conversation ended after just two sentences.
No weight reported either.
To be honest, Qiao Lan was a little worried about Ye Qi, but his voice sounded normal and steady, with only a cough occasionally, so he didn't seem to be seriously ill.
Are you too busy?
Qiao Lan set the frequency and contacted Ye Qi.
The radio indicator light flashed a few times, and then with a click, the call was connected.
"Hey, are you really okay? Tell the truth, otherwise I'll fly over to check it out right now!" She took the initiative.
It turned out that the voice on the other end was not Ye Qi's, but Lao Song's.
"Ms. Qiao, please contact me later. There were sudden zombies in the nearby streets. The captain just led his men over and forgot to take the communicator with him, leaving it on the table!"
"Do you want me to help? How many zombies are there?"
Old Song replied, "Five or six, it should be fine, they can handle it. Miss Qiao, I'm going to be busy now, hanging up!"
Communication was cut off again.
Qiao Lan heard that Ye Qi could still lead people to fight zombies, and that his health should not be a big problem, so he felt relieved and continued to look after Pigeon and Geng Duofu.
At the base, Lao Song put down the communicator and said, "Captain, what I said was okay. I think I can convince her. Miss Qiao won't suddenly come to check if you're lying..."
Ye Qi nodded slowly, not having the energy to speak.
Communicating with Qiao Lan in a normal tone just now had exhausted his remaining energy.
The infection came suddenly. He suddenly felt unwell an hour ago and almost died within five minutes. It was Ouyang Mo who led people to give first aid and restored his breathing and heartbeat.
Headquarters did unexpectedly airlift some medicine last night. It was a newly developed drug for post-disaster epidemics, but because it contained a long list of instructions for use and contraindications, Ye Qi was cautious about the drug. He planned to test it on animals and confirm that the side effects were minor before promoting it within the base.
However, his own physical condition was very poor. After emergency treatment, he was still on the verge of death and on the verge of life and death. The medical team did not dare to leave his side. As a last resort, he decided to try the medicine himself.
The doors and windows of the room were closed, the curtains were drawn tightly, and guards were posted in the corridor outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
With only close associates and members of the treatment team around him, the drug trial began.
“Beep, beep, beep!!”
Unexpectedly, just half a minute after taking the medicine, the various medical testing instruments connected to Ye Qi's body began to alarm frequently.
All functions have reached rock bottom!
The medical team rushed over immediately!
The first aid took more than ten minutes before his stopped heartbeat resumed, which was very dangerous.
After waking up, he felt the approach of death very strongly.
So I contacted Qiao Lan.
If he really died, he wanted to hear her voice before he left.
He tried his best to maintain the steady voice in the communicator so as not to make her worry.
"Captain, how do you feel now?"
After Old Song deceived Qiao Lan, he rushed to the bed.
Ye Qi's face was pale and gray, he lay lifeless on the bed, and his breathing was very weak.
"Don't disturb him. He's trying to recover his spirit and fight the rapid decline of his body."
Beside the bed, Yin Wanying, the base's spiritual soothing awakener, gently pushed Old Song away. She continued to release gentle energy waves, wrapping Ye Qi like a soft cocoon.
Old Song quickly stepped aside.
The medical team was nervously watching the data from various instruments.
Even in the depths of winter, Yin Wanying wore a thin, long dress. The patched, brownish-green fabric didn't look slovenly, for her demure posture exuded a certain sanctity, making it seem as if she were wearing a torn sack and it wouldn't affect her dignified demeanor.
She lowered her head, her long brown-black hair hanging in front of her chest, and her hands folded on her abdomen, like a gentle goddess statue.
“Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Please give my regards to the person who lives there...
Tell him to make a linen shirt;
No needle and thread, no seams to be found..."
During the long silence she suddenly began to sing.
This folk song originated on the continent across the sea and has been popular since the Middle Ages.
The sad and melodious tune was sung softly in her soft and slightly hoarse voice.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The melodious singing seemed to last forever.
The light outside the curtains gradually faded away, and night fell quietly.
Everyone in the room, including Lao Song, including two early awakeners, had already calmed down in the singing. They were no longer nervous, anxious, or worried, and their eyes were calm to the point of being almost demented.
The room is so gentle and quiet.
Only Yin Wanying's singing voice floated softly.
Everyone was in a trance.
Ye Qi suddenly opened his eyes.
The dilated pupils focused almost instantly.
He looked at Yin Wanying: "You are very strong, at least at level two."
Yin Wanying stopped singing, raised her long eyelashes, and smiled gently at Ye Qi.
"Actually, it's level three. The day before yesterday, my crystal core just completed the level three transformation."
"Why did you lie about your abilities when you joined the base?" Ye Qi asked.
When Yin Wanying came to the base, she claimed that she was just a novice who had just awakened.
Who would have thought that she is now the highest-level psychic in the base, higher than Ye Qi.
"If the base doesn't meet my expectations, I don't want to expose my strength and be coveted by others. Please understand my self-protection vigilance." She bowed slightly.
"So you recognize the base now?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be here to help with the treatment." Yin Wanying stood up gently and politely said, "Congratulations, Mr. Ye. Not only have you survived the disease, you're also close to advancing. Your strength is a blessing to everyone."
Ye Qi stood up.
I was covered in cold sweat, but I had indeed overcome the life-and-death crisis.
Others only saw him lying there peacefully, no one knowing the agonizing struggle and battle he endured internally. The battle against the disease, a near-death experience. And the powerful medication from headquarters, too potent, caused him excruciating pain, like enduring purgatory.
Yin Wanying's spiritual comfort did give him great help.
"Thank you." Ye Qi greeted her.
"You're welcome, Mr. Ye. I wonder if with my abilities, I can become a core member of the base and obtain more supplies? My current request is a single room and a hot shower."
Yin Wanying smiled politely.
Ye Qi pondered for two seconds.
"Then you might have to go find my girlfriend."
