After the battle of the Evolvers in Shangjin City ended, I was taken by the Qingyang Army to the Shangjin Central Hospital for treatment, and Xiao Qi and Rose were also brought here, and one of the team members named Shao Sichen was with me when I woke up, and I learned from her that something happened to Xiao Qi and Rose.

Shao Sichen's narration continued, "Being stabbed in the heart by such a sharp Tang knife, we originally thought that Seventh Brother had no chance of surviving, but Sister Rose insisted on taking him to the Qingyang people's team for healing, and later we learned that Seventh Brother's heart is different from ordinary people, his heart grows on the right side!" So he didn't die at that time, but he just injured one lobe of his lung, and it was because of the pain and fatigue that he fainted, and his breathing was so weak that he could barely breathe. ”

"Qingyang's people were surprised at first that we would throw ourselves into the net again, after knowing our intentions, the Ao Xiang they led the team immediately asked people to clean up this hospital, and at the same time prepare for the treatment of you and Seventh Brother, the result of the operation was very successful, you and Seventh Brother are out of danger of life, and really lucky, none of you have any signs of infection and mutation because of being stabbed by Tang Knife."

The words Shao Sichen said at the end didn't make me breathe a sigh of relief, "But... Be... This? ”

Shao Sichen's brows really hadn't opened yet, "But just after that, Sister Rose collapsed, and the doctor who examined her was the best one Ao Xiang brought, and he said that Sister Rose had a lesion in her lungs." ”

"Cancer...?"

Shao Sichen shook his head, "It's called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis." ”

What's that!? I couldn't open my mouth to complain, thinking that it was good if it wasn't cancer, but if the disease wasn't serious, I wouldn't be able to make Shao Sichen put on such a dead look.

As soon as I finished pondering, Shao Sichen gave me an answer, "They say that this is a chronic disease that occurs more often in the elderly, which is uncommon but is seriously fatal, and is called cancer that is not cancer." ”

Cancer ...... that is not cancer

"Even the doctor couldn't tell why Sister Rose had this disease, which has a survival rate even lower than most cancers, and the lesions progressed so quickly! A woman who participated in the evolutionary injection experiment told us that Sister Rose may have been affected by the D evolutionary virus, and her organs had a very common rejection reaction, but since the old professor who led the evolutionary experiment had died when Shen Jian went berserk, it was impossible to confirm the specific details...... In short, their doctor said that the only way to cure this disease is a lung transplant, and judging from the speed of development of Sister Rose's lesions, in order to save her life, it is necessary to find a suitable lung source within three days! ”

Three days? Although I have not heard of Rose's disease, but the instrument. Official. Shift. Implantation is a common topic on TV in the past, and the most difficult part of this process is the fresh organs available for transplantation, and the queue for an appointment may have to wait for more than several months...... the groove.

In a trance, the figure of the man appeared in my mind, Shao Sichen looked at my expression, and his tone calmed down, and said: "After Brother Qi learned about this, he found the doctor alone and talked for a long time, and we can probably guess what they talked about." ”

"He... Didn't it hurt your lungs? I slowly put my left hand next to the wound in my abdomen, "His lungs... Can it still be used? ”

"It's true that one side was injured," Shao Sichen covered his chest as if he felt empathy, "But Sister Rose only needs a single lung, and Brother Seventh has another side that can be used for transplant surgery." ”

"But that's all he's left with!" The brief emotional intensity returned to me a sharp pain, but that didn't stop me from asking the question that I knew would be, "Didn't he want it himself!?" ”

Shao Sichen nodded, "So Brother Qi made his decision, and after negotiating with the doctor, he accompanied Sister Rose all night, left the Tang knife to her, and went to you again the next day, left you a note, and then he left, went to lock himself upstairs in a private room, and let us call him in three hours." ”

I took the note handed by Shao Sichen, and before I could read it, I found that Shao Sichen's tears had flowed uncontrollably, "Three hours later, when we went to Brother Qi's private room, we found him sitting cross-legged on the bed motionless...... Seventh Brother He ...... Already brain dead! ”

"He... How? Seeing the girl's grief, the sadness that had just surfaced in my heart subsided for some reason, and I asked calmly, "Did he force himself to death?" ”

Shao Sichen took off his glasses, covered his face and shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know...... Knowing that there are people in this world who he loves, and there are people who love him, but he has to take the initiative to give up his life for his lover, and at the last moment, he can't stay by his lover's side, and can only sit in that room by himself, when he ...... How painful it must be! ”

Shao Sichen held his head with both hands and lay on my quilt and couldn't stop crying, I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart, I gently put my left hand on her head to show comfort, and opened the note left by Xiao Qi with my right hand, the handwriting on it was not as handsome as I imagined-

I'm no longer your back, life still has to go its own way. Brother word.

"Life, you still have to go by yourself."

Hearing my voice, Shao Sichen, who had been crying for a long time, eased his emotions a little, raised his head and looked at me blankly.

"Everyone in this world has their own life, even if it is your parents and siblings, the only thing we need to control is ourselves, as for anyone else's life, they have their own way of moving, and there is no need to force it to stay. As the lyrics say, the past days are like the yellow calendar, since all the pages have been dropped, no one will glue it to remember it anymore. ”

Maybe when I have a child in the future, I will also tell him how awesome Uncle Zhang is, thinking about it like this, I still show a light smile.

I crumpled the note into a ball and gently threw it into the corner of the room where I couldn't see it, so I didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Xiao Chenchen, don't cry," I carefully wiped the tears from the girl's face, "Tell me, how is the lung transplant operation?" ”

Shao Sichen briefly sorted out his emotions, "It's done, and the operation is very successful." ”

"Are you done?" I looked at my surroundings and asked with a smile, "How long have I been lying there?" ”

"It's been almost ten days."

"I said I'm so hungry," I saw that there was nothing to eat on the bedside table, so I shook the infusion needle on the back of my hand, and smiled at Shao Sichen: "Girl, it's inconvenient, please help me find something to eat?" ”

"Well, okay, then you wait a minute." Shao Sichen got up and walked towards the door.

I raised my voice on a whim and said, "I want fried chicken thighs!" ”

Shao Sichen's answer was very decisive, "No! ”

"Ah~~" I wailed with an embarrassed face: "I want to eat fried chicken legs~ I want to eat fried chicken legs~ I want to eat fried chicken legs!" ”

Boom! Shao Sichen left the room, I muttered fried chicken thighs again, and then turned my head to look at the windowsill, the hydrangea in the glass bottle was already shriveled and crunchy, and there was a dried rose mixed in it, and the huge and continuous clouds became the background of this vase, they covered the window, the sun, and half of the sky, floating at a speed that seemed to be visible to the naked eye, this gloomy scenery with a drop of fire clouds, dim and scorching, reflected in my eyes.

Who can accompany me to see the scenery again?

……

I didn't eat fried chicken thighs as I wanted, Shao Sichen only gave me a few bites of soft and glutinous white rice porridge in the end, even if it was to make up and deal with the first day of waking up, I felt strength after eating two boxes of luncheon meat at noon the next day, but I still lay down until the third day, and I was able to walk smoothly.

When I was able to go out, I learned that there was a team of Qingyang soldiers outside my room who was strictly guarded all day, and it was not surprising that even the room had a camera that was still running, after all, I was a prisoner and not a guest, and my every move was to be monitored.

This outing was directly approved by Ao Xiang after application, and Shao Sichen accompanied me closely, of course, under the supervision of Qingyang soldiers.

"You say," I asked Shao Sichen, "shall we go to see Xiao Qi first, or should we go to see Rose first." ”

Shao Sichen muttered for a while before replying, "Let's go see Sister Rose first, no matter what, it's more important to be alive, isn't it." ”

I nodded, "Listen to you." ”

Outside the ward at the end of the same floor, I knocked on the door, and a girl younger than Shao Sichen opened the door for me, and she was also a familiar face of the intelligence team.

Shao Sichen knew what I was thinking as soon as he saw my appearance, "She is Lian Xiaomei, her own person." ”

"Chairman, please come in." Lian Xiaomei wore a ponytail, with the simplicity of a country girl, and her fair face looked more straightforward and simple, but like Shao Sichen, under these simple or quiet appearances, what was hidden was the skill of strangling Jiejian.

I entered the house with Shao Sichen's support, and saw Rose lying quietly on the hospital bed in a wide hospital gown, without the connected catheters I imagined, let alone the monitoring equipment such as ventilators, and even her bedside was cleaner than mine.

"Sister, how do you feel?" I walked over to the bed and sat on the only stool, I don't know if it was psychological, I felt as if her belly was bigger than the other day.

Rose seemed to be in a much better state of mind than I was, and she looked at me expressionlessly, "It's okay." ”

I didn't dare to ask directly about the situation of the fetus, and I looked at the surrounding environment, which was not much different from my room, but I didn't see Tang Dao here.

When I looked at Lian Xiaomei, I smiled and asked, "Have you been with her all the time?" ”

"Yes." Lian Xiaomei nodded, this girl is quite clever, at least when she sees me and Rose looking at each other, she can stand up and break the deadlock, "Chairman, Sister Rose's single lung transplant operation went very smoothly, the whole process took three hours, and after the operation, the ventilator was removed for spontaneous breathing in another three hours, and after twenty hours, a few catheters were removed, and she could eat on her own, and she was able to go to the ground by herself the next night, the doctor who performed the surgery said that Sister Rose's physical recovery ability was very strong, and it can be said that she was fast, The fetus in the womb is also healthy, which is nothing short of a miracle! Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that you will be able to leave here in three or four days! ”

"Well," I asked again, "get out of here?" Where to? ”

Lian Xiaomei responded: "They said that they would take us back to Qingyang, and the Yutian New District has been confirmed to be destroyed, but there are still some scattered resistance forces that need to be co-opted and suppressed in your name; Because Sister Rose is the only remaining D-evolution virus test subject, she also has to bring it back to Qingyang for further observation and recording, and she is also pregnant, and the child is also ......."

Shao Sichen continued Lian Xiaomei's words angrily and said, "The children will not escape the surveillance, and they will also conduct tracking experiments on the children of Sister Rose and Brother Qi!" ”

"That's for sure!" Even Xiaomei has no shortage of resentment.

In comparison, the two parties, Rose and I, seem more calm.

"It's good to be alive," I looked into Rose's eyes, unblinking, "Human beings will inevitably have to make a lot of sacrifices on the road to scientific truth. ”

"But they shouldn't have that kind of thought about an unborn child!" Shao Sichen's reaction to this matter was a little bigger than Lian Xiaomei's.

I patted her arm to signal her to calm down, and then said, "When a new energy is discovered by the world, there are always two opposing divisions in society: the elite of power think that they should learn to use it, and the righteous people think that it should be destroyed." They all make judgments based on the conflict of interests at hand. In fact, no matter how they choose, in fact, in the history of mankind, as long as it is the energy that has been discovered, no matter how long it takes, it will definitely become, and will eventually become, a weapon of great destruction that can not only bring great benefits to the development of advanced life of mankind, but also cause indelible disasters to the backward civilized society. ”

After saying that, I looked at the people inside and outside the house, as if only Rose understood what I meant, and I continued: "For example, the technology of cultivating land has brought not enough food for human beings, it has maintained the basic life of human civilization, but it has encroached on too many natural forest resources, seized the homes of many animals in nature, and left them homeless to die on the road or on the human table. ”

"In addition, the process of industrialization is also the basis of human life, coal, oil and natural gas, even today are the indispensable raw materials of our life in the last days, but these things will produce greenhouse gases and cause the greenhouse effect, the global temperature will rise, maybe before you and I speak, the glaciers in Antarctica will melt completely, releasing the ancient virus that was frozen hundreds of thousands of years ago, and with the rising sea level invading all continents of the world, it will bring diseases, panic, floods, and even extinction to human beings."

"Accelerating urbanization has led to a dramatic decline in the world's biological diversity; The huge demand for timber has led to the exponential disappearance of the world's total forest area; The development of agricultural irrigation and industrial sewage technologies has led to severe shortages of freshwater resources in the world...... All of this is the positive and negative effects of the new energy, and the same is true of the D virus, and the same will be true of the D evolutionary virus, which will be sacrificed today, but will also bring more benefits in the future. We do it ourselves. ”

What I said finally made everyone in the room look at each other, and the guard at the door stood in the corridor outside and laughed softly at me if my brain was broken.

Lian Xiaomei listened to it, and finally asked suspiciously: "Do you mean, are we just left it to our devices?" ”

"Of course!" I stood up with Shao Sichen's support, "Why don't you take us out?" I will be grateful to you, provided that you have the ability to take care of us sick people. ”

Lian Xiaomei puffed out her mouth and nodded heavily, without looking at me again.

I leaned closer to Rose on the bed, but still kept a proper distance, and soothed, "Just know that you and the child are safe, I'll go talk to him." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Rose finally smiled lightly.

Leaving Rose's hospital room, I shook the hand of the leading soldier outside the door, "Although our relationship is tense now, thank you Ao Xiang for helping me greet him and his lover." ”

The soldier reluctantly shook off me, the opponent who had shot at them, and guided me to visit Xiao Qi, and when I left, I remembered another one and instructed: "Oh yes, Li Guodong is still alive, by the way, help me greet his eighteenth generation ancestors." ”

……

There is a hillside that stretches for more than 100 meters outside the wall behind the hospital building, and I was handcuffed and shackled from the moment I walked out of the wall, and Shao Sichen was also left in the hospital.

There are also a few lines of small characters on the side: the old acquaintance Ao Xiang stood on behalf of his wife Rose and his friend Shi Lei.

I sat down in front of the stele, touched the handwriting, and said with a chuckle, "Rose and the child are fine, you didn't work in vain." ”

"I'm fine, I'm recovering well from the stomach injury."

"If I can survive, I'll take care of Rose for you."

"Oh, your place is very good, the field of vision is vast, look over there, the clouds are floating in the sky!"

"Hey, look here, there's a lake behind this mountain, which is also a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers!"

"You know, you may be my most face-saving brother, handsome, powerful, and reliable!"

"There is still a long way to go, there are many pains and joys, you can sleep steadily, I still have to hold on!"

"Don't worry, buddy can hold it!"

Around September 25, 2017, Zhang Le died of brain death in Shangjin Central Hospital, which provided a lung source for Rose's lung transplant surgery.

……

I don't know how long I've been talking to myself here, but after a long time, another one came to my side, and it took me more than half a ring to react, "Brigade Commander Ao, I'm tired." ”

Ao Xiang had already sent away the soldiers who were guarding me, and sat down next to me and unscrewed three bottles of liquor.

I looked at him and picked up a bottle and poured it in front of Xiao Qi's tombstone, I couldn't help but laugh, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was the same last time in the Yutian Safe Zone, and when I was left alone and miserable, you were by my side." ”

"yes, it's okay for you to meet me." Ao Xiang poured half a bottle of liquor into Xiao Qi before putting it down, and gave me another bottle, "You treat others, I treat you, drink it." ”
