Chapter 228 The patient needs to keep watch.
The ward was heated, and the temperature was comfortable.
The rabbit sat comfortably on the sofa, eating the snacks that Sister Yun Zhao had given her.
Back at the safe base, even the air felt exceptionally fresh and sweet.
This stands in stark contrast to the dangerous world outside.
Yun Zhao sat on the hospital bed, her head down, engrossed in reading. Her long eyelashes drooped, and her focused profile added to her quiet and gentle demeanor.
The two of them each did their own thing.
The only sounds in the ward were the rustling of snack bags and the soft turning of pages in books.
Outside, snow was falling heavily; inside, all was peaceful and serene.
When you turn to one of the pages...
Yun Zhao's hand suddenly stopped.
Her eyes darkened, and she froze for a few seconds before regaining her composure. She raised her head as if nothing had happened and said softly, "Ayu, I want to take a shower. Could you help me buy some pajamas at the shopping mall?"
Rabbit was about to say, "Didn't the captain go to the shopping mall?"
But then I thought, those are women's underwear, and Sister Yun Zhao needs to change her underwear, so it doesn't seem appropriate to let the captain, a grown man, buy them.
Rabbit stood up readily. "Okay, Sister Yunzhao, I'll be back soon."
The area within the base is very safe, with sentries on duty right outside the hospital.
There's nothing to worry about.
The rabbit asked about the size and whether she wanted to buy anything else before leaving with the points card Yun Zhao had given her.
The door to the ward closed gently.
It makes a subtle yet clear sound.
Yun Zhao's face was expressionless. She sat quietly for a moment, then slowly reached out, lifted the covers, and got out of bed.
Yun Zhao walked into the bathroom attached to the ward.
The hospitals in the inner city are very different from those in the outer city.
The people served here are probably all prominent figures in the base.
The environment is very nice, with few people and a quiet atmosphere.
As soon as you push open the bathroom door, soft lights automatically turn on, illuminating the entire space in a bright and warm atmosphere.
It's very clean, spacious, and bright inside, with very modern facilities.
Yun Zhao walked to the mirror, stood still, and slightly raised his head to examine himself.
In the mirror, her face was slightly pale, with faint dark circles around her eyes.
Those clear eyes now held a hint of coldness, appearing deep and dark, like a tranquil deep pool.
Yun Zhao stood there silently for a long time.
She scrutinized herself as if she were looking at a familiar stranger, scrutinizing every detail from her slightly furrowed brows to her slightly pursed lips.
Then……
Yun Zhao looked in the mirror and tore off the page he had just seen, his face expressionless.
He deliberately severed the weak spiritual connection with Xie Tu, which had been formed through their spiritual union.
Stop these interactions of mental energy, like closing a valve.
She acted as if nothing had happened, walked out of the bathroom, and returned to her hospital bed.

The shopping center is not far away.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the ward door opened, and Rabbit came in carrying several shopping bags.
"Thank goodness, the shopping center was about to close when I ran there, and I almost missed out on buying it."
The rabbit handed her one of the bags, saying, "Sister Yunzhao, take a look and see if you like it. I just picked one randomly."
Rabbit bought two sets of pajamas, the thicker pink one to wear as loungewear, but it's also fine to wear it out.
Another set of green pajamas, a little thinner, is suitable for sleeping.
Yun Zhao showed no sign of distress as she naturally took the bag, saying, "Everything is fine."
Although she used the excuse of needing pajamas to send him away, she really wanted to take a shower.
As for the pajamas not being washed, Yun Zhao didn't care much.
If you can wear your combat uniform for a month, what does it matter if your brand-new pajamas haven't been washed?
"I just ran into the captain and Captain Jiang."
The rabbit turned around and picked up another bag from its hand, which contained some fresh fruit.
"This was bought by the team leader. He took the vegetables to the next room and asked me to bring the fruit back first."
The biological research institute building is right next to the hospital.
The team leader borrowed their kitchen to prepare dinner for Sister Yunzhao.
As for Jiang Mu and his group, they were also shopping inside. Rabbit was worried that the clerk wouldn't be able to buy pajamas after get off work, so she said goodbye and went upstairs.
Yun Zhao got out of bed with his pajamas, walked closer and took a look. The bag contained apples and pomelos.
This is one of the few fruits grown at the base.
I wonder how the research on the seeds I brought back last time is going.
Yun Zhao picked out the biggest apple and handed it to the rabbit, saying, "Have a little something to tide you over first, then go back to rest after you finish eating."
"Okay," the rabbit readily agreed.
She lives alone and has to cook for herself when she gets back, so she decided to stay and mooch a meal.
Yun Zhao took the bag to the restroom.

When she came out after changing into her home clothes, Xie Tu was standing on the balcony outside the bathroom door, making a phone call.
Outside, snowflakes were falling heavily, and they sprinkled on his profile, outlining his resolute and aloof features.
As soon as Yun Zhao turned his head, his gaze fell upon him.
He seems very busy.
This time, two contaminated zones were eliminated, one of which was a five-star contaminated zone that no one had ever set foot in before.
It has extraordinary significance for humanity.
It's easy to imagine how much of a sensation this will cause.
"Okay, I'll come tomorrow."
Xie Tu hung up the phone, turned around and walked over, very naturally taking the bag she was carrying. "The food is getting cold, let's eat first."
A simple meal of three dishes and a soup, mainly light and refreshing, exudes an enticing aroma on this cold winter day, bringing warmth to the heart.
The rabbit sat to the side, waiting for them.
Yun Zhao was indeed a little hungry, so he offered to serve the rice.
During the meal, Rabbit asked about the phone call from earlier, "Captain, what did the minister say to you just now?"
The sentry had sharp hearing; she heard something about new weapons or something similar.
Xie Tu was serving food to Yun Zhao when he heard this and said slowly, "The base plans to replace the equipment of the operations department with new equipment, including upgrading communication equipment and modifying the automatic firing system of off-road armored vehicles."
The data brought back from contaminated zone 88 last time included a lot of readily available data on weapons. We just need to follow the steps to produce them and put them into use.
Currently, the communication equipment used by the operations department is the same as that used by base staff, only capable of making calls, swiping cards, sending messages, and testing pollution concentration.
The base felt that the functionality was too limited.
This time, we developed new equipment specifically designed for combat personnel, adding many new functions.
As for their off-road vehicles.
Minister Duan didn't say how he would change it, but told him to drive the car over first.
"Wow, wow, wow, does that mean we're going to undergo a major transformation?" The rabbit was very excited upon hearing this, its face beaming with anticipation for the new equipment.
Yun Zhao was also drawn in by this unexpected good news.
No one is immune to curiosity about new things.
The words "new equipment" sound very appealing. I wonder if there will be any weapons she can use after the changes.
Xie Tu smiled and said, "There's something else."
Yun Zhao looked up at him.
Xie Tu didn't keep them in suspense, "Qi Ling has officially joined the Operations Department. The Minister hasn't made any arrangements for him yet, but his residence has been confirmed."
Right next to their training ground.
The rabbit was very enthusiastic, just like when Yun Zhao joined Team Zero. "Then when Sister Yun Zhao is discharged from the hospital, we'll hold a welcome ceremony for her."
The three chatted while eating.
Time passed quickly.
After finishing their meal, the rabbit helped clear the table, picked up the trash bag, and went out. "Captain, I'm going back to rest now."
"Sister Yun Zhao, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
After the rabbit left, only Yun Zhao and Xie Tu remained in the ward.
Yun Zhao was walking around the ward to digest her food when she saw him standing there motionless and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going back?"
Xie Tu took out a folding fruit knife from his bag, picked up an apple, and calmly replied, "The patient needs someone to keep watch over him at night."
