The infirmary can be said to be the place with the best protective isolation measures in the entire garrison.
But calling it a medical room is a bit of an exaggeration. It is just a small compartment about the size of a single room in a motel.
It is even more rudimentary than a single room. There is nothing here except a medical cabin in the middle and some medical supplies piled against the wall.
Xiao Yao and the others had just returned from the infirmary, so they didn't need anyone else to lead the way. The two of them took Xie Xuan to the infirmary.
There was a barrier at the door, which was slightly better than the shield they had put on the RV.
When Xie Xuan and the others walked in, Ding Qiaoyun had already fallen into a deep sleep under the effect of the sedative in the medical cabin.
Xie Xuan stood next to the medical cabin and looked at Ding Qiaoyun through the transparent material above.
Because of the torture of mental infection, Ding Qiaoyun almost never slept properly after coming out of the field. The dark blue under her eyes looked a little scary against her pale skin.
And now she finally fell asleep, her brows were not frowned, and she looked very calm.
"She will wake up, right?" Xie Xuan suddenly asked.
"Of course," Chongming said, "Her symptoms aren't so severe that she can't wake up. After receiving treatment within the walls, she can live a normal life. She just can't work at such a high intensity or enter the field anymore."
Xiao Yao said, "The person who brought us here just now also said that she was lucky. Few people who were severely infected in the area outside the wall can come out alive."
He pointed to the thin layer of dust on the medical bay and said, "Most people die in the field before they even get a chance to enter this medical bay."
Xie Xuan knew that they were trying to comfort her, so she turned around, looked at them and asked, "Do you really want to join me in this?"
Xiao Yao and Chongming did not give a definite answer immediately.
"Why not?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "My thoughts haven't changed. This may be our only chance to see the true face of this world up close."
Chongming glanced at Xiao Yao and asked, "Even if the original appearance of this world is rotten and smelly?"
Xiao Yao nodded. "This world can no longer even maintain its radiant appearance. I'd be surprised if its true appearance wasn't rotten and smelly."
Xie Xuan looked at Chongming again.
"I don't have that problem," Chongming said. "I left a backup of myself inside the wall before leaving. If this body is destroyed, I can change into another form and continue to survive."
He said to Xie Xuan in surprise, "If it really comes to this, I hope you can bring my chip back with you. All my memories of my time outside the wall are in it."
Chongming said, turning around and lifting the hair at the bottom of his head, "Under this spot on my scalp is where my memory chip is."
He put down his hand and turned around, looking at Xiao Yao meaningfully. "But there's only the memory chip. The core program isn't here."
Xiao Yao said speechlessly: "I won't pry your head open in the middle of the night, don't look at me like that."
Although Zhongming's words sounded like a promise, Xie Xuan still said, "If it really comes to this, I will definitely bring your chip back."
Xie Xuan's words sounded a bit too serious, so Xiao Yao changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to leave a message for Ding Qiaoyun?"
Chongming explained, "The people stationed there said that in order to better protect Ding Qiaoyun's mental state, she won't wake up until she returns to the inner wall to receive treatment and begin her recovery."
According to this statement, by the time Ding Qiaoyun woke up inside the wall, they would have already left the communication range of the red line.
"Send a message to her terminal so she can see it when she wakes up." After Xie Xuan finished speaking, she opened the terminal and started sending messages after a long absence.
Terminal communication is not supported outside the wall, but the terminal has the function of face-to-face sending. Xie Xuan and the other three people separated and wrote their own works, just like middle school students writing yearbooks when they graduated.
Xie Xuan was the last one to finish writing. She originally just wanted to write a few simple sentences, but as she wrote, she began to recall every little detail from the first time they met to the present.
She had written a short essay without realizing it. After handing it in, she looked up and saw the other two people looking at her.
Xie Xuan sighed and waved goodbye to Ding Qiaoyun, who was lying unconscious in the medical cabin. "We're leaving first. Goodbye."
Xiao Yao also imitated Xie Xuan and waved to Ding Qiaoyun, "Goodbye."
After leaving the infirmary, the three went to check the maintenance and supply status of the RV.
Because Chongming had protected their car very well along the way, the people from the logistics department at the garrison simply helped them check the condition of the parts.
The supplies in the car seemed to be much more abundant because they were one person less, but considering that they would not encounter any more camps after leaving here, Xie Xuan still considered whether to take some more.
But she changed her mind and realized that she and Chongming didn't need normal food anyway, so the five people's portion should be more than enough for Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian.
After finishing all these things, there were still more than ten minutes left before the one hour agreed upon by Song Zhixian. Xie Xuan asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Chongming shook his head. "Above the third floor are all restricted areas for the Development Department. You've seen most of the places below the third floor."
Xiao Yao echoed, "There's no cafeteria inside. Although this is a garrison, the people inside eat canned food and compressed biscuits just like us."
Xie Xuan gave up the idea after just a few words and sat quietly on the sofa waiting for Song Zhixian to finish his business.
Song Zhixian was quite punctual. When he walked out of the camp with his few luggage, he saw Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao playing finger-guessing games in the open space next to the RV.
This is a game often played by children. Two people stand toe to toe. The winner takes a step back, and the loser keeps one foot still and follows with the other. In the end, it becomes a small game to test flexibility.
But for Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan, it didn't seem like a competition of luck and flexibility, but more like some kind of horror movie.
Song Zhixian had not only heard about Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao's bad luck along the way, but he had also experienced it firsthand. However, Xie Xuan's luck in the finger-guessing game might be even worse.
Xie Xuan's flexibility is obviously not good either, but she has another way to win the game.
She took off one leg of her protective suit, and one leg reached Xiao Yao's toes as if it could be stretched.
Xie Xuan's skin was originally very white, but her legs are now completely black. They are long, thin and soft, as if they were wrapped in black slime, which looks weird and scary.
Song Zhixian took a quick look and found that Xie Xuan's legs were at least two meters long.
These legs are truly two meters long, Song Zhixian thought.
