Chapter 254 Signs of Losing Control
As night fell, a rustling sound came from inside the room.
Lin Xi turned over in her half-asleep state, thinking she had misheard.
There are many energetic and combative individuals in the Iron Wolf Base, and sometimes they are still fighting on the arena after midnight.
For example, today, shouts and cheers intermittently penetrated the door and entered the room. Although not as loud as during the day, it was still quite a commotion.
The noise in the room was concealed.
However, the trembling became even more pronounced the next moment.
Could there be rats or small animals at the Iron Wolf base?
Lin Xi did not open her eyes.
"Beep beep—"
However, the next moment, the sound of the combination lock on the refrigerator came from the room.
Lin Xi suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
Someone touched her refrigerator without her permission!
The room has two bunk beds. Lin Xi and Xiang Xin both sleep on the top bunk, and they can see the entire room with just a glance up.
In the darkness, a shadowy figure crept around, bending down and fiddling with the refrigerator at the table.
Once Lin Xi's vision cleared, the figure was more like trembling than sneaky.
She snapped out of it and jumped out of bed.
The light from the refrigerator's password input screen illuminated Lu Wei's face. His lips trembled slightly, and his gaze was fixed on the password input page, but his fingers still couldn't enter the correct password.
Lin Xi snatched the box, quickly entered the password, opened it, took out the antitoxin and delay agent, and swiftly injected them into Lu Wei's body.
Lu Wei was still trembling slightly after receiving the injection, but he sat down with Lin Xi's help.
Lin Xi panicked and hesitated whether to give her two more injections.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred with Lu Wei.
Lu Wei has been a semi-infected person for a year now. Although his condition is more stable than other semi-infected people, that is only because he takes the medication on time.
The truck was bombed, and the two were separated, which meant Lu Wei didn't receive any more medication for two days. Perhaps the virus took advantage of that time...
Lin Xi didn't want to think about the consequences; in fact, she had seen the final fate of half-infected people.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wei gradually calmed down.
After the cooler was closed, the room returned to darkness, and the two could not see each other's expressions; they were simply sitting opposite each other.
Lin Xi reached out and touched his forehead; it felt cool to the touch.
She leaned forward to listen to his breathing and heartbeat.
The frequency is lower than before.
Without professional imaging scanning equipment and laboratory instruments, it was impossible to scan Lu Wei's brain and examine the condition of his internal tissues.
The unknown intensifies people's fear.
"...How do you feel?" Lin Xi still pressed against his chest.
The voice traveled through his body to Lin Xi's ears: "Headache and loss of control."
That was an early sign that the semi-infected individuals were beginning to mutate. This was the case with the first few semi-infected individuals, including Zhao Jing, who developed problems at the Watchtower Base.
The virus and those immature antibodies in Lu Wei's body are finally about to get out of control.
Lin Xi said in a low voice, "Starting tomorrow, the medication will be injected every 6 hours."
The refrigerated box has limited space and is mainly used to store vaccines and various antibody samples. She had calculated the amount of medication a few days ago, and even if she used the original dosage, it wouldn't last long. Lu Wei has already started to show symptoms of losing control, so the dosage must be increased to suppress the virus, which will further shorten the original duration of use.
"Mm," Lu Wei replied.
She showed no emotion, just like usual.
But Lin Xi knew that his attitude had long since changed.
He started keeping his distance from everyone while he was at the Overwatch base.
Lin Xi's eyes welled up with tears, and she tried to calm her voice as she said, "Let's set off as soon as possible and get to headquarters quickly. There's a laboratory there; I'll figure something out."
The Iron Wolf Base has no laboratory, so Lin Xi cannot conduct research here, and cannot even prepare drugs.
A minute had already passed, but Lu Wei neither backed down nor pushed Lin Xi away.
His hands had already instinctively rested on Lin Xi's back. He didn't respond to the hasty suggestion, but calmly said, "We must wait... wait until the war zone calms down. If..."
Lin Xi felt the cold, unwarm hands of sorrow and closed her eyes.
Lu Wei: "Yang Yicheng will escort you to headquarters."
"..." Lin Xi couldn't help but speak up.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and the two sat there quietly.
Lin Xi didn't want the situation to continue, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my face."
However, as soon as she stood up, she saw a dark figure above her. After the figure met her gaze, it slowly lay down, covered itself with the blanket, and turned over.
Lu Wei: "..."
Lin Xi: "...You got up and came with me to wash my face without sleeping."
Xiang Xin's muffled voice came from under the covers: "Maybe I should move out."
Lin Xi: "..."
Lu Wei: "Move. You and Lin Xi both move."
"..."
Lu Wei then changed his mind and said, "Never mind. I'll go next door."
