Chapter 186 Behavioral fever flood beast will make people have a flood
After taking two painkillers, I slept soundly. The set alarm rang three times before a pale, slender hand slowly stretched out from under the quilt and fumbled to turn it off.
Bai Ling buried his head and said vaguely, "What time is it?"
"Half past six."
"So early?"
Yu Chen lifted his eyelids, glanced at the terminal, then closed his eyes and lay back down, "...I have a meeting."
A pair of gray eyes opened in my arms, "Why don't you get up for the meeting?"
Yu Chen hugged the bird, which was as hot as a small stove, tighter, curled up his back and rubbed it, saying lazily, "Sleep for another ten minutes."
Bai Ling asked: "Is ten minutes enough?"
He seemed to fall asleep in the blink of an eye, breathing lightly: "Not enough..."
Therefore, the weekly meeting of all eunuchs and cabinet ministers was postponed for twenty minutes for the first time in thirty years due to the monarch's personal reasons.
The old ministers were waiting online in a panic, thinking that it was raining red rain from the sky. The monarch, who was always diligent in his work, did not show up on time. They didn't know what difficult world problem he had encountered.
Here, the monarch and the queen slowly got up, struggling over whether or not to fold the quilt.
The mermaid sat on the edge of the messy bed, lying on her side, rubbing her long curly hair in a half-asleep state, her broad shoulders, thick back and hunchback visible. He felt pain in his back, subconsciously touched his back, and turned to Bai Ling to describe:
"It scratched my back."
He looked down at his chest and complained:
“Here, too.”
Bai Ling's cheeks and neck were burning. It was clearly this devil who made the king not attend the morning court, but why did he make it seem as if he was the one who was being dissolute and excessive.
He got up awkwardly and confusedly, saying "You deserve it", and quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
What a monstrous beast.
But this beast not only causes flooding, it also opens doors. Bai Ling watched him walk in slowly, as if no one was around and as if it was natural that they crowded the single bathroom into a place where they could hear each other's breathing.
This fish seems to be sleepwalking.
With her forearms resting on the ceramic basin, Bai Ling brushed her teeth in front of the mirror.
The mirror light is soft, reflecting the scene behind it honestly. Bai Ling raised his eyes casually, and the man in the mirror who looked like a large animal leaned over to him, put his cheek on his shoulder, and put his arms around his waist to hug him.
The thick, furry head of hair rubbed against his neck and could be touched with just one hand.
For a moment, Bai Ling had a vision of some large hound using its muzzle to push open the crack in the door and coming in to rub against people.
He couldn't help but free his hand and touched the mermaid's back, then continued brushing his teeth.
This guy is so clingy.
Bai Ling was wondering when he suddenly felt his ankle tighten. Huh? He looked down and saw the mermaid behind him trying to tangle with his heels, but failed after several attempts.
I forgot that I was in human form and thought I had a tail.
Are you really sleepwalking?
Bai Ling was sensitive enough to sense something was wrong, so he moved sideways and pinched the mermaid's chin, turning his dignified and elegant face around. He saw that his eyes were half-closed and his green pupils were grey and hazy, as if covered by a layer of dirty fog.
He frowned, bit his toothbrush, and looked at it carefully for a while. Finally, he raised his head a little, got close to the mermaid's jaw, and found a clue:
"Why are you so red?"
That's where the gills are. There are two thin lines, one on the left and one on the right, hidden under the jaw. They are usually almost invisible, but now they are obviously red and swollen, as if they were scratched by a cat.
There wasn't any last night.
Bai Ling’s first reaction was that he caught it himself.
Then I suddenly remembered a piece of common sense. No, the red neck of the Sea Tribe must be caused by mumps inflammation.
He quickly rinsed his mouth and wiped his face, placed the person on the only sofa in the living room, found a blanket to cover him, and then began to contact a doctor.
Zhuo Liangmu is Yu Chen’s personal doctor, so of course he is the first one to be approached.
After understanding the whole story, Zhuo Liangmu comforted Bai Ling and said, "Don't worry, the monarch has just turned into a zombie."
Bai Ling: "?!... They've turned into zombies, and you still want me to stop worrying?"
Zhuo Liangmu quickly explained: "This is just a common name. It doesn't mean that the brain is really infected by bacteria. It means that when the immune system of the marine people is activated, the body's behavior will be controlled by instinct."
"The monarch has a very strong constitution. Even if his tail is cut off, it will grow back quickly. Generally, it will be fine if it is not too severe. The inflammation now is probably due to the accumulation of injuries and illnesses. The self-healing system has collapsed for a while. It will be fine once the immune system restarts."
He spoke concisely, but Bai Ling was still a little confused.
After all, Yu Chen is a marine tribe. His ancestors are separated from Bai Ling by several biological classes. Some of their special physiques would be difficult to understand without special research.
Bai Ling asked Zhuo Liangmu the specific name of the disease, wanting to look it up himself.
Zhuo Liangmu directly sent a popular science link and said, "I will write you an anti-inflammatory prescription later. They are all common medicines that can be found in the medical office. Little White Bird, just take the prescription to your pharmacist."
Bai Ling received the prescription and clicked on the link, which led him to a post on Star Network:
[Title: When I woke up in the morning, my ocean husband turned into a zombie. Is this still acceptable? Please recommend a suitable steamed sauce]
Highly praised answer: [I know this! You can use a certain brand of steamed fish soy sauce from Jinji, which tastes better than light soy sauce. I will repurchase it endlessly. If you like strong flavors, you can add some chili and sesame oil - well, no kidding, let’s get back to the topic. If my 10 years of experience as a marine medicine practitioner is correct, your husband should have a “fever”.
You may ask, aren’t seafood cold-blooded animals? How can they have a fever? Yes, they also have a fever, but not from the inside out, but from the outside in, which marine biologists call "behavioral fever." ]
Then the answerer very professionally posted a series of easy-to-understand literature. Bai Ling flipped through it and suddenly realized what "behavioral fever" was.
[We all know that cold-blooded animals are also called poikilothermic animals. Their body temperature is unstable and they cannot regulate their body temperature autonomously like birds or ordinary mammals. So even if the body's immune system is going crazy, the surface will still feel cool to the touch.
But in the case of infection and inflammation, they also need to raise their body temperature and detoxify the immune system through "fever". But I don’t have a fever, what should I do? ——With the help of the outside world, run to a high temperature environment to activate the immune system.
So you will see that in winter, there are often many sick jellyfish gathering near the sewers at the estuary, because what is discharged there is urban domestic sewage, the temperature of which is higher than normal seawater. The sick jellyfish will soak in the hot sewage to heal themselves. Therefore, never eat seafood of unknown origin. ]
Bai Ling: I forwarded it to the hen immediately.
There were hundreds of comments below the highly-rated answer. The answerer was very enthusiastic and also answered other people’s questions.
Someone asked: [Doctor, I understand the principle of fever, but why does my little anemone become so clingy? ]
Doctor: [You are a bird, right? Birds have high body temperatures, so when marine creatures have a fever, they like to stick close to birds. They follow them wherever they go, in a daze, just like little zombies. It should be trying to absorb your body temperature to increase its own survival rate. This is a biological instinct.
The discussion downstairs was about something else:
"...Wait! So, no matter how strong and cold-blooded an alpha is in the Empire, when their immune system is compromised, they will all turn into clingy unknown creatures?!"
"Fully Automatic Household Sticking Machine"
“Ahhhh, I really want to see the cold and crazy A turn into a clingy big dog!”
"Then why don't you just treat him as a susceptible period?"
"Both the susceptible period and the breeding period are characterized by high attack power, which is completely different from this."
"I can speak from my own experience. My Ocean Tribe A also had a fever, but I heard from the older generation that his clinging to you is a sign of love for you. He could have just stuck his face to the stove in the living room, but he came to stick to you because you gave him the most psychological security."
"I have a little octopus, Sister O. When she has a fever, she sticks her suction cups on my hands. When I pull them off, there are a row of marks. My colleagues at work asked me if I had cupping treatment."
Because the person speaking is a blue magpie, Passeriformes, so let's tease him:
"Oh, then you are Quequeluding."
There are even more explosive ones: "Raise your hand... I have been a Yingying furnace tripod. I was buried in it for one night and all diseases were cured."
"!!? Teacher Ying, is there no one you care about on the Internet anymore?"
"Then I am Juanjuan Lu Ding, hehe."
…
Bai Ling wanted to read on, but when he scrolled down, it showed a line of words, [Please log in to continue viewing]. He had no choice but to download the app and register on the spot. When filling in the user name, I typed four words in a rush:
[id: Falcon furnace tripod]
I was stunned for a second, then came to my senses. What a shame! I was almost dragged into the ditch by the upstairs person.
Delete it immediately and replace it with another one.
System reminder: [Hello, the platform can only change the user name once within 90 days]
Bai Ling: “…………!”
The matter was done, Bai Ling deceived himself and comforted himself, thinking it was okay, the Internet was so big, no one would find out which falcon he belonged to.
He closed the page with peace of mind, ignoring the words in the settings column: Push to people you know [enabled]
·
The meeting definitely cannot be held and can only be postponed temporarily. The old ministers were terrified when they received the news, fearing that something had happened to the monarch.
Finally, Bai Ling came up and told them, "The monarch is ill, but don't worry, I'll take care of him."
The old ministers were deeply moved: "Thank you, Prince... Well, Her Majesty the Queen cares about Your Majesty and ensures that Your Majesty is well fed and clothed, and has peace of mind."
Bai Ling: ...That sounds a bit perverted.
Hang up the meeting and go get the medicine.
But Bai Ling underestimated how clingy the mermaid would be. I didn't expect that he would follow me just when I went out, so I had to ask someone to bring a wheelchair and push Yu Chen away.
His tail is broken, so it's better for him to walk less.
In order not to attract attention, Yu Chen still wore the all-black duty uniform. So when others met him in the corridor, they just thought that Commander Bai was considerate of his subordinates and was personally pushing the injured subordinate out for a walk.
Most people in the military camp knew the postman, and many of them came up to greet him enthusiastically and asked how he was.
Bai Ling sighed for a moment, you all like him when he covers his face and does good things. If people knew he was Mr. D, they would probably think he was trying to win people's hearts and had bad intentions.
Bai Ling couldn't help but think that it would be okay to keep the postman's alias.
After all, he would rather others respect Yu Chen than criticize him. Doing good things will bring good rewards, this is the simplest truth.
When we arrived at the infirmary, we saw a long line at the door. The fighting had been intense recently and there were many injured soldiers. The chairs and the floor in the corridor were filled with people.
Bai Ling became even more certain that pushing a wheelchair out was a foresighted decision.
But if he continued to wait, it would probably take several hours, so he just wanted to get the medicine, which was not a big deal, and then he was ready to go in and scan his face to go through the green channel.
Bai Ling knocked on the door twice, turned the key and poked his head in. A group of medical staff saluted him when they saw him. He saluted back and said, "I have a list here. Can you help me get some medicine? Is it convenient now?"
They laughed and said, "Commander Bai even came here in person to tell us earlier so we can send it to you."
"I know you're busy and can't spare the time, so it's the same if I come to get it." Bai Ling showed them the prescription that Zhuo Liangmu sent, "This is it."
The pharmacist stretched his head and looked at them. "Oh, they are all common medicines. Please wait a moment. I will go and get them."
Taking advantage of the free time, Bai Ling stood at the door and looked back at the other end of the corridor. There were too many people and it was difficult to push the wheelchair over, so he left the fish where it was.
The pharmacist brought back two boxes of medicine and explained carefully: "This small box is for the growth of scales, and this large box is for the marine race to reduce inflammation. Commander Bai, where is the patient?"
Bai Ling nodded: "It's okay, I'll go back and feed him."
Pharmacist: "Then you know how to feed him. Oh, and here's a pair of thick gloves to prevent him from biting you."
Bai Ling: "? No, why are you so anxious just taking medicine?"
The pharmacist opened the box and showed him: "This is a suppository. You have to pry open the gills to insert it. It hurts. We have to be very careful when dealing with patients. Omegas and betas are fine, but alphas have to be tied with a rope to control them. What is the gender of your patient?"
Just as Bai Ling was about to answer, she heard an anxious call from behind. It was the nurse in charge of queuing:
"Whose alpha is this? Why is he lying on the radiator?"
It’s bad, it’s bad, the fish is getting feverish and warming up.
Bai Ling responded immediately: "Mine, mine, mine!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
Bai Ling: “…”
He read a message from the meaningful looks of the crowd:
Commander Bai, you have a new love.
