Chapter 198
Chapter 198
It was already very late when they returned that day, and Yin Jiazhu had not yet gone to bed.
The daytime examination and the infusion of medicine were completed. When Ni Yangzhou came back, the man put down the book he was reading and half-opened the quilt so that the young man could lie down directly.
Ni Yangzhou shook his head tiredly, went to wash up, and then returned to the bedside and asked casually, "What book are you reading?"
Yin Jiazhu patted the pillow soft and greeted the young man: "It's just prose. Are you tired today? Have you gained anything new?"
Ni Yangzhou looked at the comfortable bed and warm blanket, feeling yearning for it. He walked to the bed and sat down reluctantly: "I'm not very tired. The researchers have been arguing all day and there is still controversy over whether to use space soil on a large scale."
"The air contrast has been revealed. It can be compressed and replicated, but its power is reduced. If we can overcome the diffusion problem and increase the concentration, we may be able to directly promote the growth of mutant plants like spraying pesticides and eliminate them directly from the root."
Yin Jiazhu listened and nodded, leaning back, stretching out his right hand to pinch Ni Yangzhou's waist.
After a busy day, his back and waist were sore, and he hummed with pleasure as Ni Yangzhou gave him pleasure. Yin Jiazhu was a little too heavy-handed, and the young man lay down in dissatisfaction.
"Put your arms back a little." Yin Jiazhu wanted to lie down next to the young man, but was afraid of pressing on his arms.
"Oh." The curtains in the ward were drawn, the lights were turned off, and Ni Yangzhou felt a little drowsy.
Yin Jiazhu's hand groped from the waist to the other's chest. When he looked up again, the young man had fallen asleep.
-------------------------------------
After receiving the task, Ni Yangzhou took two days to go to City F. The reed marshes there had mutated too seriously. Fortunately, they were demanding on the environment and did not reproduce on a large scale. However, they did not grow horizontally but tall. As they were the only way to the capital, they could not be left unattended.
Mu Ying was still in Hai City and had not returned yet. Ni Yangzhou completed the mission under the protection of seven S-level team members.
Although it was a mission to complete, he did not have many opportunities to take action. Special missions from two places took joint action, and the reeds in the marsh were able to take root in the water. Ni Yangzhou was responsible for following behind and collecting the broken branches like an old farmer with a good harvest.
Liquid spraying and fire attack were used simultaneously. Even Ni Yangzhou, who was standing at the back wearing a thick protective suit, felt the difference between ice and fire. It was really not a job for a human being.
The players in front were obviously more adapted than him. Each one of them was extremely brave. The Cheese Brothers cooperated well and seemed to be more at ease than him.
For the first time, Ni Yangzhou felt that it was a bit of a waste for him to hold this space. If it were in the hands of someone else, it might be able to play a greater role.
After returning successfully and hearing a lot of praise, Ni Yangzhou originally thought that his performance was just so-so and not satisfactory, but then he ran into Mu Ying who came back at the same time. After hearing about her record of killing a hundred zombies in one battle, Ni Yangzhou was very glad that he did not become the protagonist.
Mu Ying's physical fitness is getting better and better, and her reaction speed and various data are approaching the human limit.
But it's only physical. There isn't much change in IQ and emotions.
After leaving the team's celebration party, Mu Ying found Ni Yangzhou alone.
"Half-immortal."
Ni Yangzhou was a little anxious to go to the hospital, as he hadn't seen anyone for two days and was missing her a lot. But when he saw Mu Ying coming, he had to suppress his anxiety.
"Xiao Mu, you say."
"Here's a tube of vaccine." Mu Ying took out a thin glass tube with a red cap from her backpack. "It was developed using my blood. It can boost the body's potential and speed up recovery in a short period of time."
"Of course there are pros and cons. The current version cannot control the growth rate. It is possible that there will be a period of weakness after a short period of strengthening."
Ni Yangzhou nodded and took the glass tube: "I understand, time-limited powerful pill, thank you, but I can't use it for the time being."
He still had redemption cards and points in his system backpack that he hadn't used yet, so he still had some means to save his life.
"It's okay, Banxian'er, keep it and do me a favor."
Mu Ying pulled down the backpack behind her. Inside was a dictionary that looked excessively thick, with many plant bookmarks sandwiched in it.
The most primitive method of making bookmarks has been preserved, which is to dry and dehydrate, then flatten, attach a layer of plastic film, press cardboard on the bottom, and write the corresponding plant name in small calligraphy on the top.
You can tell it’s quite old. Some of the plants inside have broken corners. I wonder who collected them with great care.
"There are still two kinds of leaves that I haven't collected yet. I need to finish them before the end of the month. I want to ask if you have any."
Ni Yangzhou took it and looked at it, and found that what was missing was the Beicangshu and an umbrella Arisaema.
The former was widely distributed before the end of the world, and its traces could be found on hillsides and bushes. Later, the capital was sprayed with preventive medicine, and this plant was even more intolerant, and it has gradually disappeared. This time when Mu Ying went to Hai City, he paid attention to looking for it, but he didn't find it. The latter was originally rare, and the whole plant was poisonous, but it had some medicinal value. When he reported it a few days ago, the research institute had just asked him to help plant it.
What a coincidence, I have both.
Ni Yangzhou rummaged through the space, dug up two plants and handed them to Mu Ying. Mu Ying smiled, and her teeth looked whiter.
"Thank you, Banxian. Come to me if you need anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried away.
While Ni Yangzhou was rushing to the hospital, he was calling the system in his mind.
"Third brother, the protagonist won't die easily, right? Why do I always feel like Xiao Mu is setting a flag?"
103 replied:
[This involves the plot, so no spoilers are allowed. ]
Ni Yangzhou smacked his lips and asked again: "Is the world getting better?"
103 replied quickly: [As long as the protagonist is here, things will get better. ]
Ni Yangzhou felt that he and 103 were playing a game of wits, and both man and machine became old monks debating scriptures.
He couldn't get any information out of him, and the third brother didn't reveal anything special. Ni Yangzhou thought that he was overthinking, so he put the idea behind him. The protagonist of the whole book would not be killed so easily. It was probably another battle of survival, a counterattack that won in danger. As a supporting character, he shouldn't worry about it.
A few days after completing the task, Ni Yangzhou applied for some vacation time and did nothing else but accompany Yin Jiazhu every day.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. For Yin's case, the doctor said that he would need to rest for a year or so to recover to his previous condition. This was also said in consideration of the special situation of men.
The lack of pain perception is a very big problem. Due to the lack of pain perception, one cannot detect in time whether there is any problem with the body's functions and cannot protect oneself. Therefore, Dr. Yuan has instructed several times to check from time to time to prevent problems before they occur.
This time, Ni Yangzhou had to go to Su City to check in alone.
Ni Yangzhou always had unspeakable regrets and guilt, so he tried his best to meet Yin Jiazhu's requests in the last few days. The two of them read, watched movies, and played games during the day. Due to the man's physical condition, they couldn't go out for some fresh air. The two of them were like young people who had just started dating. Even if they were just together and didn't say anything, they could feel safe and content.
It's just that Yin Jiazhu is sometimes very clingy. When Ni Yangzhou just went to the bathroom, the man came back on his own with the help of a crutch. Even though he was slightly hunched, his tall figure was still cast on the frosted glass door, like a lonely sheepdog waiting for his owner.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the figure outside the door, trying not to sigh, quickly washed his hands, and went out to embrace that loyal heart.
However, good times are always short-lived, and no matter how reluctant you are, the day of separation still comes.
