After Wu Qi and the others left Blue Lake Town, Blue Lake Town returned to the previous peaceful period.

In the inpatient ward of the emergency center, Xiang Keping spent all day with Renee, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, looking at her unopened eyes and pink lips, and watching packets of nutrients injected into her body through slender and transparent pipes.

Day after day, Xiang Keping had nothing to do, and rarely went out to wander the streets. If he goes out, he chooses to wear a mask to avoid being recognized by the residents.

Both Xiang Keping and Renee are in an awkward position in Blue Lagoon, as they are the aggressors and saboteurs here. Without the lord's order, the nurses at the first aid station probably wouldn't have saved them. And the lord's order stemmed from Wu Qi's promise. Now that Wu Qi has been away for a long time, the nurse in charge of taking care of Renee is becoming more and more indifferent to Renee's situation, and Xiang Keping can see it.

Renee still didn't open her eyes today, and Xiang Keping wrote this sentence in the electronic diary of the folding computer. Seven days had passed since Wu Qi left Blue Lake Town.

On the eighth day, Renee finally opened her eyes.

On a morning like usual, Xiang Keping slept soundly on a folding recliner next to Renee's bed. The golden sunlight shone into the dark hospital room, and many dust particles floated in the pillars of light.

At the end of the sun was Renee's hospital bed, Renee's goose-brush-like eyelashes fluttering slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her turquoise pupils rolling sluggishly, observing the world she hadn't seen in a long time.

"I ...... It's not even dead. Seven days of slumber put a heavy shackle on Renee's brain, Renee's thinking was a little slow, and her feelings were also dusted.

She slowly turned her head and saw Xiang Keping's sleeping face two meters away. Xiang Keping was much thinner than seven days ago, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks disappeared like a knife.

Renee...... When are you going to wake up......" Xiang Keping's lips twitched, and he uttered a series of unintelligible dream words, but Renee made out every word of the dream words.

"Did I sleep for a long time?" Renee asked herself. She exerted a slight force on her limbs, and although the muscles of her arms were stiff, they gave her feedback, but her legs seemed to disappear, and she couldn't control them, and she couldn't feel them.

Renee lifted the white quilt and saw her tightly bandaged body. At least the lower half of the body does not emit a rancid smell, and it will always recover over time. Renee comforted herself.

Xiang Keping suddenly woke up. He saw Renee lifting the quilt to examine her body, and jumped up from the improvised bed for a moment.

"Renee, you're awake! I've got to call the nurse! Xiang Keping excitedly rang the call bell at the head of the hospital bed.

"Xiang Keping, how long have I been asleep?" Renee asked. She was afraid that she had slept too long and missed contact with Gregor.

"Seven days, today is the morning of the eighth day, and you have finally woken up." Xiang Keping's voice choked, he had waited too long for this day.

Renee's face was a little unpleasant, and she asked tentatively, "Then Dr. Gregor, are you here to get in touch?" ”

"No," Xiang Keping shook his head, "The doctor hasn't contacted us, and I haven't contacted the doctor." ”

"Why?"

Xiang Keping's gaze turned to Renee's body under the quilt, he hesitated, and said, "I don't want to contact." ”

Renee didn't ask, she could tell from Xiang Keping's eyes that he hadn't contacted Greg because of her.

Xiang Keping has no ability to fight, the victory or loss of the battle has nothing to do with him, and the defeat to Wu Qi is her Renee's fault, as long as Xiang Keping reports truthfully, Greg's scolding may be indispensable, but he will not bear the main responsibility. Since Greg brought Xiang Keping with him, he took a fancy to him, after all, the A-11 laboratory and Gregor's team are by no means a place where simple "tool people" can stay.

Even so, Xiang Keping made such a choice. Renee didn't know what to say, and she was torn up with contradictions. Half of Renee is saying "whether I win or lose, I should be 100% loyal to Gregor, and I can't hide anything"; The other half of Renee was saying, "Greg had so much expectation of me, and I lost, and I lost miserably." If I'm seriously injured and can't recover, how can I go back. ”

When Renee is conflicted, the nurse arrives.

The nurse and Xiang Keping went to the corridor outside the ward to talk. Separated by a wall, Renee should have been able to hear the conversation clearly, but due to the loss of the Psychic Virus, the "super hearing" failed, and she couldn't hear anything.

Five minutes later, Xiang Keping pushed the door open and came back, Renee asked Xiang Keping about his physical condition, but Xiang Keping only smiled and said you eat first.

Renee hadn't eaten for too long, and her stomach heard the word "eat" and reflexively cooed. Renee was a little embarrassed. Not long after, the hospitalized people's food truck came, and it was a nutritious recovery meal based on liquid food.

Xiang Keping solved breakfast, and Renee also swept away the plates and bowls of the nutritious meal.

"Now can you tell me how my body is and when will my leg recover?" Renee asked directly. She had a bad premonition because the nurse talked to Xiang Keping and avoided her.

Xiang Keping said: "Don't worry, now that the blood vessels are healed and connected, and the blood circulation is normal, your body below the waist will be close to the direction of recovery." As for the nerve connection problem, the hospital in this place can't do nerve connection surgery, so there are only two options, either go back to the Central Research Institute, or stay here until the 'high-speed regeneration' ability returns to normal. ”

Renee wants to contact the Doctor and ask him to send someone to pick her up, though it's too embarrassing.

"Sooner or later, we have to report back. It's better to leave it right now, the later it drags on, the less good it will be for us. Renee said. She wanted to be open to the doctor. Even if it was scolding, even if it was disappointment, she was willing to bear it.

Xiang Keping hesitated, and he tried to convince Renee: "Actually, we can wait for your 'high-speed regeneration' ability to recover and heal all the injuries on your body before reporting the situation." ”

"Then wait until the Year of the Monkey? Surgical blood transfusion is bound to be pure human blood, and the antibodies to the abnormal virus will destroy each other with the abnormal virus that has multiplied in my body. Renee's memory is not far off, but Dorothy has taught her all the common sense she should have, and she learns very quickly.

Xiang Keping couldn't resist Renee after all, and what he had been worried about but didn't say clearly was whether Renee would be able to recover her abilities. Just now he was talking to the nurse outside the door, and the nurse said that it would take a while to observe whether he could recover, which was equivalent to not letting go of; And Renee couldn't hear what they were saying, which means that she hasn't even recovered her first-order "super hearing", and this is already the eighth day!

Xiang Keping apprehensively dialed the communication of the folding computer, which was opposite the fax machine of the A-11 laboratory.
