Chapter 139: It's up to you
Zhu Jue, who hung up the phone, was ready to rest.
Newcastle wandered around the office because of the content of the call.
Could that be the virus stock or the source of infection?
Is it possible to obtain important data and information through the analysis of it, and then make a drug for it?
All kinds of thoughts lingered in Newcastle's mind, which made him even a little restless for a while, and he wanted to call the laboratory to prepare manpower and equipment in advance, but he was afraid that doing so would make others guess that he was still in touch with Ronna, so he picked up his phone several times, and finally chose to put it down.
"Mr. Newcastle, it's late at night, five hours after the end of work, and I suggest you get ready to rest. β
A smart secretary dedicated to Newcastle sends out alerts from a computer in the office.
"It's an extraordinary time, cancel the rest reminder, and I'll do it myself. β
Leaning on the sofa by the door, listening to the sparse, barely audible footsteps outside the door, catching a glimpse of the two hands of the clock on the wall becoming a "1", Newcastle wrapped his coat tightly,
"Help me prepare a rest room, I'll spend the night at the quarantine center today. β
"Okay, wait a minute...... The administrator of the epidemic prevention center has been notified...... Get a confirmation reply. β
After an intermittent reply, the office returned to calm, except for the rhythmic sound of the metronome.
After leaning back for a few more minutes, Newcastle sighed, still preparing to go to the laboratory and the monitoring room to go through the changes again, to see the progress of the epidemic research and the situation of the infected.
Who knew that as soon as he opened the door and walked out, he saw the old man who appeared at the other end of the corridor.
"Teacher?"
Subconsciously shouted, the figure in front of him paused, and turned around, it was the director of the epidemic prevention center, Ge Lang.
"Newcastle, you haven't rested yet?"
The old man saw Newcastle with his empty hands, and his tone was a little surprised.
"Teacher, didn't you take a break too, did you come to check on the situation of the infected?"
Newcastle looked at the old man in front of him with some emotion, thinking that he must have developed such a habit because of Mr. Grand.
"Well, the problem of the epidemic has never been solved, and people always remember it, I just chatted with the people of Life Medical Group, and stopped by to take a look...... Go back and rest, don't care about your body because you're young, this is the advice of someone who has come over. β
With gray hair, a tired face, and a straight body, Grant looked at Newcastle at the door of the office, his eyes full of himself from decades ago.
Suddenly a little at a loss, he took a step forward and stopped, put his hands in his pockets, looked at his proud protΓ©gΓ©, and smiled reluctantly.
"I still have to go to the laboratory to have a look, during the special period, you can go back and rest, as you said, I, a young man, and the deputy director of the epidemic prevention institute, have to pick up the burden. β
With that, Newcastle turned around and prepared to walk to the elevator next to him.
"Hey Newcastle, I'm sorry......"
Behind him came the voice of Director Grand, which sounded a little hoarse.
"Excuse me?"
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Newcastle looked back.
"I ...... If you were younger, you wouldn't have to be so tired. β
"Haha~ Teacher, you have to serve the old man, and the rest will be left to me, a young man!"
Laughing and waving his hand, he walked into the elevator.
On the corridor outside, Grand's old age in the incandescent light was fully revealed, and he turned around the corner, the loose flesh on both sides of his cheeks trembled, and his body was much more rickety.
......
Roar~Roar~
A low roar woke Zhu Jue from his slumber.
The voice was familiar and strange to him, familiar because he knew in his heart that it should be the voice of a silver beast transformed by his spiritual will, and strange because he had never heard such a dull tone.
It wants to wake itself up...... It seems to be weak!
The moment strange thoughts and a sense of panic that had not appeared for a long time surfaced in my mind, Zhu Jue began to recover.
The futon on his body was a little heavy, and he subconsciously raised his arm to tear it off.
There was no movement.
Zhu Jue barely opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a two-layer brown futon, which was not his room.
Turning his gaze around, he realized that this was a cabin that he had seen once in a coma after drinking the Gadamon Pills in the low-level community.
It's just that the scene inside the cabin has changed from the last time I entered.
The bonfire in the center of the house seemed to be missing firewood, and the flames were no longer as strong as they had been the last time, and the beeping sound of burning was much more muffled.
The dimness of the campfire made the light in the cabin dim, the shadows cast by the cabinets and tables cast a shadow over half of the room, and the LCD TV directly opposite the bed was no longer in the series of videos, but flashed black and white snowflakes and made a piercing sound.
Outside the window, there was darkness, no snow, no lake.
Roar~
The roar came from outside the door, with some impatience.
There was another dull pain in the cranial cavity, and Zhu Jue twisted his brows and wanted to get up to check the situation, but at this time, his body was suddenly able to move.
Suddenly got up and lifted the quilt, the soreness of his arm and the instant numbness of his left foot when he landed on the ground surprised Zhu Jue, his body was extremely weak.
Walking barefoot on the cold floor of the wooden house, the muffled roar of the door has not stopped, and you can faintly hear paws scratching the door, some like the sound of wind chimes outside the bathroom door when you are taking a shower.
Reluctantly walked to the door like a zombie, turned the doorknob to open the door, and the cold air flow slammed into the house, Zhu Jue was trembling all over his body, and at the same time, he saw the silver beast that squeezed into the door the moment he opened the door.
It was not in a good state, its head was lowered, its tail was drooping, and it was not as clean as it used to be, as if it had just fought with something, and glanced sideways at Zhu Jue, and saw that he had not closed the door yet, and came to arch him with a "purr~" sound.
Zhu Jue raised his hand to soothe it, enduring his physical discomfort, and looked at the dark world outside the house through the light from the bonfire.
The frozen lake not far away seemed to have cracks, and large shadows were attached to the bottom, even if it was a brief gaze, Zhu Jue subconsciously wanted to withdraw his gaze.
The wind was accompanied by the sound of branches or tree trunks snapping, and Zhu Jue knew that it was coming from the jungle farther away, and something strange that was difficult to describe was wandering in it.
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky.
Darkness filled the place, but Zhu Jue felt something watching him for a moment just now......
"Tsk, don't let people sleep at night, look at you!"
Viciously raised his middle finger at that place and yelled.
So the spirit was in a trance again, everything in front of him was rapidly retreating, and the body swayed and fell backwards.
Boom~
The sound of buttocks colliding with the bed board.
Zhu Jue woke up in the bedroom of the clinic, cold sweat spread all over his forehead, touched his back, sweating!
