Chapter 2: The Lost City (2)

An Xiaoyu couldn't remember whether she walked back to the house or crawled back, she lay on the edge of the pool, rinsing her hands frantically, until her whole hands were red and cold, and she could no longer see a trace of those terrible colors. But no matter how she rinsed it, she felt that the smell of blood on her hands had never been eliminated, and even her whole body exuded a fishy sweet smell.

She leaned against the doorway, her ears pressed against the panel, listening to the noise outside. However, there was still no one in the corridor as if she had just gone out, not even a breeze at all. After listening to it for a long time, An Xiaoyu's whole body was numb, and she slipped and fell to the ground against the door panel.

It was only when the floor was frozen that she reacted, gasping for breath, and she was so frightened that she almost stopped breathing. I didn't have the strength to do it, as if I was being chased by a sand sea centipede again, and I didn't want to get up, so I lay on the ground, and the top of my head was still attached to the door frame. Slowly, the whole person curled up.

I don't know how long I lay down, An Xiaoyu's spirit began to be insufficient, dazed, half-asleep, and suddenly heard the sound of someone talking, coming from the other side of the corridor, quietly, after echoing in the corridor, it came in through the metal door, only a slight buzzing sound remained, but An Xiaoyu clearly knew that it was the sound of people talking, and there was more than one person.

Her heart hung again, and she quietly pushed open the well-lubricated metal door, and without making a sound, pushed open a crack in the door, and sure enough, the human voice began to become clear.

It was a couple of men, and they said, "Register, test items 01263, 01264, 01265... ... Well, a total of ten failed products, recycled, fast! ”

Then there was the sound of scattered footsteps.

An Xiaoyu quietly observed, and found that there was no one by the door, so she pushed the crack in the door wide, and opened it out from the crack in the door, and saw that inside and outside the corner of the dark corridor where she had just touched the blood, there was a man in a white coat and a white mask, holding an electronic screen in his hand and writing something, and the sound of footsteps came from the dark corner.

Then a person walked out, carrying two metal pipes in his hands, and when he continued to walk forward, An Xiaoyu saw clearly, what he was carrying in his hand was a stretcher with gray packages, one after another, An Xiaoyu counted, a total of ten stretchers, each with a gray package of similar size.

Twenty people walked to the other side, lined up in a neat line, the masked man in the white coat nodded, and walked at the end with the electronic screen, until he disappeared on the other side of the electronic hatch at the end.

An Xiaoyu quietly closed the door, covering herself in the quilt, her heart in turmoil.

What is that? Ten corpses? Experiments? Failure? What are they? Isn't this a resource development base? Isn't Chi Mo the highest military commander? What exactly is hidden in this base? What's going on? She thought of all kinds of possibilities, but thinking of the strictness of the imperial organs, thinking of Ni Yu's reliable and cordial, and thinking of the quiet elegance and handsomeness, she persuaded herself in her heart-

It must be a desert creature experiment, it must be!

But can desert creatures have so much red blood? Will there be that kind of long corpse?

In the second half of the night, An Xiaoyu fell asleep.

Falling asleep, she suddenly felt a cold on her wrist, An Xiaoyu woke up, but found that no matter how she opened her eyes, she couldn't see anything clearly, and the whole world became chaos, she pulled her hand hard, but she couldn't pull it out, the strength on her wrist became more and more, and there was something sticky dripping down from the thing that was holding her.

She screamed and struggled to bounce off the bed, her eyes finally clear, but there was nothing in front of her.

Is it a dream?

An Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down paralyzed, and reached out to wipe a handful of sweat. Reaching out and touching her forehead, there was a slimy sound, and her eyes widened, and she clearly saw that her wrists were stained with blood, just like last night.

I've already washed it all? What to do, what to do? Wait, what the hell was holding me just now?

An Xiaoyu frantically rummaged through the quilt, but found nothing.

She got out of bed trembling and rushed to the edge of the pool, flushing all the red, viscous liquid into the drain, staring at her hands in a daze.

When she was in a daze, there was a "click" sound of the door lock opening behind her, she turned around sharply, and saw that the door was open, and it was slowly shaking, and there was no one outside the door, she walked to the door in fear and collapsed to the ground.

In the corridor outside the door, there was blood lying there, flowing like a small river in the distance, and there was even a broken arm floating down the blood.

An Xiaoyu covered her mouth, her throat made a "ho-ho" sound, but she couldn't scream, she sat down on the ground, desperately crawling backwards, but she didn't know what, and grabbed her hand again, so strong that she couldn't struggle, and pressed her in place.

I heard someone shouting: "Whisper! Whispers! Whisper, wake up! ”、

An Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, the palpitations in her heart had not yet eased, her whole body was tense, and sweat flowed down her forehead on the pillow. She looked around and found that she was still lying on the bed, Zhang Shujie standing on the edge of the bed, grabbing her waving arm.

She took a few heavy breaths, felt her presence still in reality, and finally calmed down.

"Nightmare?" Zhang Shujie poured her a glass of water.

An Xiaoyu took it, didn't drink it, held it in her hand and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Zhang Shujie looked at her watch: "Half past eight." ”

"Oh ... ..."

"Don't look good, have nightmares all night?"

An Xiaoyu nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner, go to rehab after eating, just forget about it right away."

An Xiaoyu nodded, was helped by Zhang Shujie to finish washing, changed her clothes and went out.

Of course, Zhang Shujie thought that this was the first time An Xiaoyu came out of this room, and walked in the corridor to introduce her: "This side is specially for the sick to live, the working group, the equipment group, the logistics group, the armed group, those who are sick and can't work are all arranged here, and next to it is the infirmary, which is more convenient for care." ”

"But now you are the only one living here, most of the people in the base are specially cultivated, and they have all used drugs to improve their bodies before coming to work, and they rarely get sick, and occasionally there are work accidents, all of which are flesh and bone injuries."

"From here to the end, this is the infirmary next to the hatch, medicines and medical equipment are placed inside, Sister Liu is on duty here, there are two doctors and eight nurses in the first phase, in fact, it is enough, I stayed here for a month, if I didn't meet you, I couldn't see a major illness."

The two of them passed by that dark corner, and in order to protect against exposure and dust, the entire accommodation area of the base was completely closed, and it was all lit by lights, and there was really no difference between day and night. So it's still pitch black around the corner. An Xiaoyu glanced inside with palpitations, and couldn't see what it was.

She cautiously asked, "What about here?" ”

Zhang Shujie glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, here is a research room at the base, usually doing some experiments on desert creatures, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, only the people and researchers above can enter, so they never turn on the lights, which is scary." ”

An Xiaoyu pretended to be curious and continued to ask, "What biological experiment?" ”

"Then I don't know, I haven't been in again, but it's said to be disgusting." Zhang Shujie looked disgusted: "Don't talk about it, I'll eat in a while!" ”

An Xiaoyu nodded.

The hatch opened, An Xiaoyu stepped over, thinking that the person who carried the stretcher yesterday would disappear here, Zhang Shujie continued to introduce her, walking from this side is the canteen, that side is the dormitory, and continuing to go forward is the work area, and the outside of the work area is garbage disposal.

In fact, after going out, the corridor was full of suspended light and shadow signs, and there was no need to introduce them, so she and An Xiaoyu mostly talked about some interesting things that happened in the base, saying that she laughed happily for a long time, but she didn't notice that the girl next to her smiled particularly perfunctory, obviously absent-minded.

The cafeteria in the base is very large, the meal at seven o'clock in the morning has passed, most of the staff have already eaten, and only three or two off-duty people are drinking something, sitting in the corner chatting.

Zhang Shujie led An Xiaoyu to make a sick meal, made a working meal by herself, found a place where no one was around, and said happily while eating: "I want to eat with you today, so I didn't eat in the morning, and by the way, I saved the time to eat in the morning and slept a little longer." ”

"If this is left in normal times and gets up a few minutes late, I will definitely be scolded by Sister Liu." Zhang Shujie stuck out her tongue.

An Xiaoyu temporarily put aside last night's experience and nightmare, was amused by her, and lowered her head to taste the sick meal on the plate.

The sick meal is mainly conducive to digestion, and the taste is not very rich, but the craftsmanship of the canteen master is very good, and it tastes unique. Originally, after coming out of the house, I always thought that I would inevitably be unaccustomed to eating outside meals, An Xiaoyu was worried for a long time, but now it seems that this worry is in vain.

Thinking about the things at home again, remembering that she was already a student of the Three Thousand Academy, and remembering that she was still staying here, she couldn't help but wonder when she would be able to go to the imperial capital that everyone in the tribe longed for and start her college life.

"Woo... What's wrong? Zhang Shujie saw that she was in a daze again, and asked with her cheeks puffed.

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's nothing." ”

Zhang Shujie glanced at her twice, this girl was often in a daze, I don't know if she was born or chased stupidly by a sand sea centipede in the desert. She rolled her eyes, feeling that she was not a doctor, and that it was useless to worry.

The two of them put down their minds, and soon finished breakfast, An Xiaoyu was taken to the rehabilitation room by Zhang Shujie, in fact, only some brackets and soft cushions and other things were placed in the room for support and protection, and then the doctor took a table to An Xiaoyu to see, which wrote in detail how many basic exercises she had to do every other time, and so on, roughly the arrangement of the day.

The rehabilitation process is scientific and reasonable, and after doing it for half a day, it is actually not very tiring, not to mention that Zhang Shujie has been by her side to cheer her up. At noon, Chi Mo also took a look, and the three of them went to eat together, this time it was a meal, which made the atmosphere of the whole canteen weird.

Obviously, the table of the six people was not full, and even the table next to it was all empty, but the feeling of being spied on never stopped, all the workers and soldiers were secretly glancing at their table with an ambiguous look, An Xiaoyu blushed the whole time, bowed her head and just ate.

Chi Mo is nothing, there are talking and laughing, and he still looks suave.

After eating, Chi Mo left, and after An Xiaoyu slept for two hours, she returned to the rehabilitation room and continued her afternoon homework.

Until she returned to the ward in the evening, she felt that she had more strength in her body, and she walked much more normally, took a bath, lay on the bed, and was about to fall asleep in a daze, but somehow suddenly woke up.

Those terrible things appeared in front of her eyes again, like a haunting demon, lingering.

But Zhang Shujie's words are still in her ears, since it is a desert biological experiment, it is always normal to have some blood and corpses. She comforted herself, closed her eyes tightly, and reluctantly fell asleep.
