Chapter 19: Legends
"I just want to ~~~ Forget it, I'll ask Zhong Lao later." Knowing that Nurse Xiaoting's thoughts at this time were not on the same line as herself, Chu Xiang had no choice but to stop the topic.
After a while, Xiaoting said, "Jinshan, what do you want to know?" ”
"Jinshan, it is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the nearest nuclear explosion site, and it is basically not affected by radiation, when did you leave Jinshan?"
Knowing that Chu Xiang didn't want to take the opportunity to harass, the female nurse replied, "It's been three months after the great change. ”
"Why did you leave?"
"Job transfer."
"Transferred here?"
"Hmm."
"That is, in the third month after the nuclear war, it was already determined that the need to activate this base was established."
"The base was already up and running before I arrived."
"Oh! That means that the time of activation is even earlier, were you also a nurse when you were in Jinshan? ”
"No, I'm a doctor."
"Isn't it that after you get here, there are too many big bulls, so you can only be demoted to nurse?" Chu Xiang smiled.
"Hmm."
"Poor baby." Chu Xiang reached out to touch Xiaoting's head.
Nurse Xiaoting got angry again, slapped Chu Xiang's hand away, and glared at Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang smiled awkwardly, the salty pig hand did not succeed, it was a bit of a failure.
"Your eyes are beautiful." Chu Xiangdao, wanting to use praise to get closer, found that there was anger in Nurse Xiaoting's eyes, laughed dryly, and quickly diverted the nurse's attention, "Then when did you start coming into contact with patients with signs of mutation?" ”
The female nurse didn't answer, and after dealing with Chu Xiang's wound, she said in a flat tone: "What is really certain is that the mutation is on the third day after the great change, and the suspicious cases that cannot be determined are before the great change." ”
Chu Xiang's expression changed slightly, and said: "Then, radiation is not the main cause of mutation at all, in three days, more than a thousand kilometers away from the nearest nuclear explosion site, it is difficult for radiation to cause an impact in such a short period of time, that is to say, the factors that cause mutation have appeared before the war, but the impact is not large, and the impact after the great change is getting bigger and bigger, what could be the reason for this?" ”
"The technology that can affect all regions of the earth almost simultaneously has not yet appeared, and the cause of the mutation of the human body is nothing more than the change of the living environment, as far as the environment before the Great War is concerned, there is no obvious change, the biggest possibility is that the composition of the air is different, for example, it may be a particle similar to neutrinos passing through the earth, causing some components of the air to change, and after absorbing this air composition, human beings have mutated."
Nurse Xiaoting's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and she talked eloquently, which made Chu Xiang a little surprised, thinking of Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi, Chu Xiang's heart moved, and asked, "Are you a doctor or a graduate graduate?" ”
"Ph.D. student." Nurse Xiaoting said, her eyes were a little confused.
"Doctor! There are already so many graduate students in this world, and doctors are everywhere! Chu Xiang sighed, suddenly grabbed Xiao Ting's hand like lightning, looked at her bright eyes and said, "Being taken care of by you is simply a blessing from my three lives." ”
was attacked again, Nurse Xiaoting's eyes suddenly became very sharp, angry, and shook off Chu Xiang's hand, but Chu Xiang didn't want to let go, how could she get rid of it.
"Let it go." Nurse Xiaoting said angrily.
Chu Xiang didn't let go, snap, Nurse Xiaoting slapped Chu Xiang in the face, I didn't expect this to be the case, I was caught off guard, Chu Xiang was stunned by the slap, looked at Nurse Xiaoting's angry eyes in embarrassment, and let go of her hand unwillingly.
"I'm sorry." Chu Xiang said a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this to be the result, and turned his face away and didn't dare to look at Xiao Ting again.
Seeing that Chu Xiang was a little lonely, Nurse Xiaoting regretted her slap a little, looked at Chu Xiang in a daze, half a sound, quickly packed up her things, said sorry in a low voice, and fled.
"Sure enough, it is destined to be a lonely life." After Xiao Ting left, Chu Xiang sighed as he touched the five blood-red fingerprints on his face.
Xiao Ting didn't talk to Chu Xiang for the next day, every time she quickly changed the dressing, and left when she was done, as if she wanted to avoid him, Chu Xiang watched her busy, and she didn't know what to say.
When Zhong Lao came to acupuncture again, he saw Chu Xiang's face trying his best to avoid being seen, and smiled mysteriously, and Xiao Ting lowered her head vigorously beside her, not daring to speak.
"By the way, Zhong Lao, I have a question for you." Chu Xiang smiled awkwardly and shifted the focus from his face.
"Just ask." Zhong Lao smiled weirdly.
"What is causing the mutation?"
"Mutations are happening almost simultaneously on a global scale, do you think there's any way to achieve it with the current technology?" Zhong Lao did not answer the rhetorical question, and confirmed what Xiaoting said that the mutation appeared at the same time in the world.
"Miss Xiaoting said, no."
"Yes, no." Zhong Lao Dao, looking at Chu Xiang's eyes with a wise light.
Chu Xiang looked at Zhong Lao suspiciously, and Zhong Lao also looked at him and did not speak. Suddenly, Chu Xiang's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, it's not something we can do. ”
"Not bad." Zhong Lao nodded approvingly.
What earthlings can't do, then why does it happen, the universe is huge.
"So, this inexplicable nuclear war also has its reasons?" Chu Xiang exhaled deeply, the expression in his eyes was a little confused, Duan Meng's words and Zhong Lao's were both pointing in the same direction.
"I don't know what the reason is, but he works well." Zhong Lao said.
"Effect! The effect of nuclear war! What does that mean? Chu Xiang looked at Zhong Lao a little strangely, and after a while, he suddenly understood and shouted, "Yes...... Radiation layer? ”
"Why can't you be so smart?" Zhong Lao laughed weirdly again, and his words meant something.
This sentence confirmed Chu Xiang's guess, and at the same time embarrassed Chu Xiang, glanced at Xiao Ting, wanted to say something, remembered what Zhong Lao said just now, his thoughts changed, and he sighed slightly.
"Eggshells don't protect eggs." Chu Xiang suddenly said something that had no beginning or end.
"Not bad." Zhong Lao nodded approvingly.
"So hatch the chicks as soon as possible, so that the chicks can become phoenixes and soar for nine days."
"Good, you're smarter than I thought." Zhong Lao said in surprise.
"I'm a little scared." Chu Xiang's eyes were slightly confused.
"It's good to know that I'm afraid."
"I'm fine like this now, comfortable, there's no need to worry about that."
"You're already worrying." Zhong Lao said with a smile.
"People are getting old." Chu Xiang smiled bitterly, a little reluctantly.
After the acupuncture, Chu Xiang asked, "Old man, can I get out of bed and walk?" ”
Very impolite salutation, Xiaoting next to her frowned.
"I didn't say no." Zhong Lao smiled, unimpressed by Chu Xiang's impoliteness.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, what kind of thing is a zombie?"
"I don't know, let you go, just to catch it and study it." Zhong Lao said.
Chu Xiang rolled his eyes and said: "According to the legend, the zombie originated from the Qian, the four ancestors of the ancient zombies, the generals, the drought, the Houqing, and the winning hook are all formed because of the Qian, the soul of the Xuan is possessed by the Drought Fish, Houqing, Ying Gou, the body is formed by the general, the drought is dead, the general, the Ying Gou is the formation of the body soul of the Qian, there will be no second, the biggest possibility is because of the curse of the Houqing, all the people who died unjustly have the opportunity to become zombies, that is to say, this zombie is formed by the people who died unjustly, this zombie wears the Song Dynasty Buren armor, It is very likely to be a person from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty generals who died unjustly must not be nameless, and the identity of this zombie can be found out according to this, so it must not be difficult to find out the related things. ”
"The knowledge is very broad and the analysis is wonderful." Zhong Lao praised, and then changed his words: "But, how can you be sure that the legend is true?" ”
"I think it's true, it's true." Chu Xiangqiang's words are reasonable.
"Haha, are you cheating?" Zhong Lao said with a smile.
"I didn't let you believe it, I just think so, you don't believe you can check it." Chu Xiang quibbled.
"I won't investigate the truth of this legend, but there is a biggest loophole in it, what is it? Where does it come from? Why does it turn people into zombies? Zhong Lao said with a smile.
"What's strange about this, the Yellow Emperor Yan Emperor Chiyou is not a normal person, and the appearance of abnormal Qi is not worth studying."
"None of them are normal people, why are we, as their descendants, like this?" Zhong Lao smiled again.
Chu Xiang raised his eyebrows, Zhong Lao didn't say that he didn't realize that all along, the people who grew up on this land have called themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, but many people don't know that their ancestors may be a monster, after all, to say this kind of thing is to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors.
"What does that have to do with me, I'm not interested in knowing." Chu Xiangdao, looking like he didn't care about himself.
Zhong Lao laughed, smiling like an old fox.
Zhong Lao left, he didn't give Chu Xiang an answer, and he didn't have any hints, and he didn't know if he thought about it.
Looking at Nurse Xiaoting who lowered her head to clean up her things, Chu Xiang wanted to speak, but she was a little entangled, and after a while, she finally asked the question in her heart: "Xiaoting beauty, is Zhong Lao really just a doctor?" ”
"You can find out for yourself." Nurse Xiaoting ignored her.
"I just want to ask you." Chu Xiang glared and said a little angrily.
"I don't know." Glancing at Chu Xiang, Nurse Xiaoting said coldly.
Chu Xiang was very angry and wanted to jump off the bed, but he couldn't do it and rolled off the bed.
Nurse Xiaoting was startled when she saw this, she was very nervous, carefully flattened Chu Xiang's limbs, and asked with concern, "Is there any injury?" ”
Chu Xiang looked very uncomfortable, touched his chest and said, "It's very uncomfortable here." ”
"It's not good, maybe the internal organs are concussed, which causes too much pressure on the heart." Xiao Ting frowned and told Chu Xiang not to move and call the doctor over.
"No, my heart aches." Chu Xiangdao, his right hand had already grabbed Nurse Xiaoting's slender waist at some point.
"You're ..... bastard." Nurse Xiaoting was angry at Meishan, and she was about to slap it again.
Chu Xiang used his hand to bring the person into his arms, his chest was close to each other, his face was facing each other, and his palms that were raised to the air could not fall. The female nurse was shocked, looked panicked, supported the floor with both hands, and said nervously: "Let go of me, the doctor will come." “
When Nurse Xiaoting spoke, her body trembled a little nervously, and her chest pressed on Chu Xiang's body, which made Chu Xiang a little confused, and the fragrance on her body made Chu Xiang intoxicated, and she couldn't help but kiss Nurse Xiaoting's forehead, and then let go of the panicked Nurse Xiaoting.
Nurse Xiaoting was frightened and angry, got up in a panic, tidied up in a panic, and helped Chu Xiang pull down her clothes, so as not to be seen by others, the face under the mask may be as red as a ripe apple, and even the roots of her ears are red.
Soon the doctor came over, it was Chu Xiang's attending doctor, checked it again, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with Chu Xiang, so the two gently helped Chu Xiang up and lay back on the bed.
"I know you don't want to stay in bed all the time, but if you want to get better quickly, don't move, recuperate with peace of mind, and jump as much as you want when you're ready." The doctor's tone was very gentle, as if he didn't see the embarrassment of the two, and told Xiaoting to take care of Chu Xiang and leave.
"Come here." After the doctor left, Chu Xiang said to Nurse Xiaoting in a commanding tone.
"What?" Nurse Xiaoting asked with a glare, a little bluffing.
"But I'm going to fall again." Chu Xiangdao, he didn't expect to play a scoundrel with a woman.
Nurse Xiaoting's expression changed, and she walked cautiously to the bedside.
"Come over again."
Nurse Xiaoting stepped forward one centimeter.
"Am I a viper and beast, are you so afraid of me?" Chu Xiang sighed.
"If you have something to say, I still have a lot to do." Nurse Xiaoting tried her best to make her look solemn.
"The breath on your body smells very comfortable, right next to me, okay?" Chu Xiang looked at the female nurse's bright eyes seriously.
Nurse Xiaoting didn't answer, got up to pack her things, and after packing up her things, she took a chair and sat down, just like a wife taking care of her sick husband, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Chu Xiang didn't speak, and the ward was quiet, and only the breathing of the two could be heard.
"Have you ever been outside?" Chu Xiang suddenly asked, reaching out to pull Xiaoting's slender hand.
"Nope." Xiao Ting said, avoiding Chu Xiang's salty pig hand without a trace.
"Are all Ph.D.-going people like you?" Chu Xiang asked with a smile.
After a while, Xiaoting replied, "No." ”
"Have you ever been in a relationship?"
Stunned, Xiaoting said, "No." ”
Chu Xiang laughed: "What do you usually do when you have time?" ”
"I'm not available." Xiao Ting said with some embarrassment.
"Is it so busy to study for a PhD?"
"I did a Ph.D., a graduate student in genetics and a graduate student in molecular science."
Chu Xiang smiled bitterly: "I understand." ”
"What do you understand?" Xiao Ting asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
"I envy you." Chu Xiang said, quickly diverting the topic.
After a while, Xiao Ting said quietly: "I envy you too." ”
"No, you can't envy me." Chu Xiang shook his head and said.
Xiao Ting didn't speak, she suddenly knew that Chu Xiang would continue.
"Your world is beautiful, and my world is full of blood, cruelty, death, and the ugliness of human nature, we are not people from the same world, your innocence makes me want to be close to you, but people like me will only bring bad luck, and being close to me will make you hurt by this dark world."
The room fell silent, and after a while, Xiaoting said, "I can learn to protect myself." As soon as the words came out, she felt that something seemed to be different in her heart, no longer just curious, but wanted to explore the difference of this man.
Chu Xiang felt the difference, sighed, and said slowly: "Before, there was a girl who always sat next to me like you, and I said: It's dangerous to be by my side. ”
She said: I am not afraid of danger.
I said, "Then you have to be strong."
She said, "Okay."
I said: It's hard to be strong.
She said, "I'm not afraid."
I said: There is great terror and great power between life and death, and only by experiencing life and death can we be truly powerful.
She said, "Okay." ”
"Do you know what happened to her in the end?"
