Chapter 80: Step by Step (7)
Since the last time he contacted Zhan Yiyang at the beach and was almost discovered by Wei An, Min Shiyan has become more cautious, and only contacts Zhan Yiyang in absolute safety, after all, the trick like last time can't be played again.
At the same time, he was also paying close attention to Xu Rongrong's situation, but he didn't observe any changes, and Xu Rongrong himself said that he didn't feel anything abnormal in his body.
And just like that, four days passed.
On the fifth day, a dense curtain of rain fell over the calm sky of Carylan Island.
Gu Yixuan and Xu Rongrong sat on the inferior sofa in the room, quietly looking at the white rain curtain outside.
Xu Rongrong felt that her tongue was a little dry, and after drinking most of the cup of boiling water, she unconsciously poured water after more than a child.
She didn't seem to notice anything.
However, Gu Yixuan has been paying close attention to Xu Rongrong's situation these days, and she has long noticed that since yesterday afternoon, Xu Rongrong has been drinking water regularly. It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, but she's already drunk eight glasses of water.
On the other side, after Xu Rongrong poured a glass of boiling water, he felt that there was no water in the kettle, and said to Gu Yixuan: "I'll go get some water and boil the water." β
Gu Yixuan looked at her back, her lips twitched, but in the end she didn't say anything.
It was too cruel for her to know how to speak.
Xu Rongrong quickly took a pot of tap water out, plugged it in, pressed the button on the kettle and started boiling the water, and then sat back on the sofa, and only then did he see Gu Yixuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.
She looked at Gu Yixuan suspiciously: "What's wrong?" β
"Rongrong......" Gu Yixuan felt that every word she wanted to say weighed a thousand pounds, and it was very difficult to spit it out, "Have you noticed that you ...... Drink a lot of water. β
"I'm thirsty, I-" Xu Rongrong suddenly remembered that the frequency of water she had drunk in the past two days was indeed abnormally high, her voice stopped abruptly, and her smile froze on her lips, and she looked at Gu Yixuan after a while, "Is the water I drink more than twice as much as usual?" β
Gu Yixuan nodded with difficulty, but he couldn't say that sentence - perhaps, M305 has already started to work in your body.
Xu Rongrong tried very hard to squeeze out a smile, but she couldn't, only to hear a voice constantly swirling in her headβshe entered the countdown to death.
At this moment, Xu Rongrong suddenly hoped that Zhan Yiyang could be by her side, because she was afraid, afraid that once the virus attacked, she would die and never see Zhan Yiyang again.
"Rongrong" Gu Yixuan couldn't do anything, so he could only hold Xu Rongrong's hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, tomorrow Shiyan will come, we will sue him, and the country will ...... Isn't the domestic virus research center working on a vaccine? It's going to be fine. β
Xu Rongrong could only nod and wait for time to pass.
This afternoon was extraordinarily heavy.
Soon, it was getting dark, and dinner was brought over.
After being injected with M305, Xu Rongrong and Gu Yixuan's three meals became normal Chinese food, although it was not hearty, but it was much better than bread and boiled water.
The meals were all placed on the coffee table, and Gu Yixuan gave Xu Rongrong a bowl of cabbage and lean meat soup: "Don't think about it, eat enough first." Otherwise, the virus didn't knock you down, you starved yourself first. β
Xu Rongrong reluctantly tugged at the corners of his lips, drank a bowl of soup, and after a few bites of rice, he couldn't eat anymore.
"Eat more." Gu Yixuan persuaded.
Xu Rongrong frowned slightly: "Yixuan, I know it's not okay to skip meals." But I seem to ...... Really full. I...... I don't want to eat at all. It feels like the stomach is already full. β
Gu Yixuan's heart was cold: "Are you sure you don't want to eat because you're depressed?" β
"It's not." Xu Rongrong shook his head, "I'm real...... Can't eat. β
"......" Gu Yixuan put down his rice bowl, looked at Xu Rongrong in shock and fear, and only thought of one key - the role of M305.
Xu Rongrong also realized it, and tried to force herself to eat more, but she couldn't swallow the food, she felt that as long as she ate one more bite, she would be strangled to death.
Gu Yixuan put down his chopsticks with a "snap": "What kind of virus is this?!" β
Xu Rongrong smiled helplessly: "Huh? It's perverted, isn't it? You eat, I'll wash my face. β
After speaking, Xu Rongrong got up and entered the bathroom, and in the room, only Gu Yixuan remained.
Gu Yixuan had also lost her appetite a long time ago, but considering the child in her belly, she had to eat more, but from time to time she would look at the bathroom worriedly.
Xu Rongrong sat on the toilet lid in the bathroom, distracted.
She was wondering if there was anything she hadn't had time to say to Tianning and Zhan Yiyang, should she write it down, so that even if something happened to her, Zhan Yiyang and Tianning could see it too......
She even thought about what would happen to Zhan Yiyang if she really died, would she be as desperate and sad as she was six years ago......
She was reluctant to let Zhan Yiyang taste like that.
So...... She didn't want to die. But her fate was in the hands of others.
This night is destined to be heavy.
When the morning light of the next day sprinkled the entire island, Gu Yixuan also woke up from his sleep.
Today she woke up relatively early, and subconsciously went to see Xu Rongrong, frowning in her sleep, looking very uncomfortable. At the same time, she noticed that Xu Rongrong's lips were very dry, and her cheeks were also slightly red, and she put her hand on her forehead to probe her body temperature, and sure enough, there was a slight fever.
Gu Yixuan went to pour a glass of water and came back, patted Xu Rongrong's shoulder, she opened her eyes, and she handed the water to Xu Rongrong: "Drink it." β
Xu Rongrong felt like a small flame was burning in his mouth, and even his eyes were interfering, so he took the water and drank it all in one go.
"How? Is it a little better? Gu Yixuan asked.
Xu Rongrong smiled reluctantly and shook his head: "It's still very uncomfortable." But it's okay, it's not fatal. β
Gu Yixuan felt sorry for Xu Rongrong but was helpless, so he could only say: "Sue the world." β
She ran to open the door, and the man outside the door who had been stepped on by her stopped her viciously, and said, "You can't leave this room!" β
"Go and tell Min Shiyan, the other one of us here is not feeling well." Gu Yixuan spat out standard British English, "Hurry up!" β
The man hesitated for a moment, and finally asked someone to inform Wei An and Min Shiyan.
Ten minutes later, Min Shiyan and Wei An rushed over, the former frowning slightly worried about Xu Rongrong's situation, and the latter's beautiful eyes were jumping with excitement - her research was finally about to see the effect!
Wei An stood in front of the bed and looked at Xu Rongrong, looked at her obvious changes, and smiled: "Shiyan, take her back to the research center." β
Min Shiyan helped Xu Rongrong up: "Can you go by yourself?" β
Xu Rongrong nodded, but he felt that his head was swollen and hot.
"Alright, get up, come with me." Min Shiyan tried his best to hide his anxiety from revealing his voice.
Xu Rongrong got out of bed, the three of them walked out, and Gu Yixuan looked at Xu Rongrong worriedly.
Wei An smiled at Gu Yixuan: "This is a deep sisterhood?" But you don't have to worry, when you become like her, you can be together again. β
Gu Yixuan was angry in his heart, but in the end, he still held back all his anger and watched them walk out.
Min Shiyan was at the end, and when he closed the door smoothly, he quietly gave Gu Yixuan a look, signaling her to feel at ease, and then pulled the door open and turned to leave.
Gu Yixuan thought of Xu Rongrong's appearance, and she couldn't feel at ease, because she was worried not only about Xu Rongrong, but also about Min Shiyan.
She is a person with no religious beliefs, but at this moment she still wants to pray that the so-called gods can see Xu Rongrong in her busy schedule and grant her good luck to tide over this difficulty.
At this time, Xu Rongrong had already been taken to the research center.
Wei An pressed her to lie down on the operating table, "Routine checkup, it won't kill you, take it easy." β
Then, Xu Rongrong felt something on her forehead, heart, and even her lower abdomen, that thing was connected to her and the complex instrument by something like a wire, she didn't understand, she wanted to figure it out, but she was getting more and more powerless - the strength and consciousness in her body were slowly disappearing, and finally, she completely fell into a coma and was unconscious.
Min Shiyan stood behind Xu Rongrong, watching Wei An check on her, and restrained herself.
was busy until noon, Wei An took Xu Rongrong's blood for testing, and finally the examination was completed, she removed the instrument connected to Xu Rongrong's body, and Min Shiyan spoke: "How is it?" β
"Good." Wei An smiled very satisfied, "The effect is exactly the same as expected, and even exceeds my expectations." It should be the relationship of dose. However, this will also hasten Xu Rongrong's death. β
Min Shiyan's face did not change, and he could even raise the corners of his lips and smile to congratulate Wei An.
Wei An looked very happy and took off his mask: "I'll go and sort out the test results and pass them on to Charles." He'll be glad to hear that. β
Min Shiyan followed Wei An into her office, and saw that the results of the examination and analysis and the results of the blood analysis were all displayed on her computer, and she made a report in electronic form and sent it to Charles.
Soon, the phone on Wei'an's desk rang, and she answered it, and her voice became very respectful: "Charles." β
Hearing this name, Min Shiyan became vigilant and listened carefully to the content of Wei An's call, but Wei An only replied with "Mmmm, okay", and he couldn't hear any useful information.
After hanging up the phone, Wei An looked at Min Shiyan apologetically, and he asked, "What's wrong?" β
"I'm going to meet Charles. At HQ! β
The word "headquarters" completely aroused Min Shiyan's interest, and he showed an interested expression: "How far is it from here?" β
"Not far." "Charles just told me that he was sending a boat to pick me up on an island less than eighty kilometers from here," Wei An said. I'll be back tomorrow. β
Min Shiyan nodded: "I will pay attention to the situation of Xu Rongrong and Gu Yixuan." β
"Hmm." Wei An smiled playfully, "Send me to the dock." β
Min Shiyan did not refuse, and left the research center with Wei'an, and there was already a military motorcycle waiting outside.
The island is far from the mainland, and it is usually accessed by boats and helicopters, and large cars cannot get in at all, except for a few military motorcycles, which are generally only used for long distances such as going to the docks.
Sending Wei'an to the dock and watching her board the boat and leave, Min Shiyan returned the same way and went to find Gu Yixuan.
