Chapter Twenty-Eight: Samantha Gets Sick
Xu Yunzhi and Yi Shulan were escorted by the Jones to the suite where Xu Yunzhi was held. As soon as the door closed, Xu Yunzhi immediately checked Yi Shulan's finger and leg injuries. After the inspection, she knew that it was irretrievable, and Yi Shulan could only be crippled in this life, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't feel bad, Professor Xu!" Yi Shulan comforted Xu Yunzhi in turn: "I'm fine!" β
Xu Yunzhi had tears in her eyes, a girl like a flower and jade, she has become like this since then, which makes her feel very distressed: "Shulan! Don't be so hard in the future, you have to endure it, and only if you insist on living can you have hope, understand? β
"I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore!" Yi Shulan shook his head and said, "I'm not the only one who is crippled!" β
Yi Shulan's words, Xu Yun was puzzled for a while. Yi Shulan told Xu Yunzhi about Qin Haoyang's humiliation by Jones's woman.
"I didn't expect that Jones girl to be so ruthless?" Xu Yunzhi was taken aback. In her impression, Eve seemed to be the kind of girl who was very naΓ―ve. She ran into her a few times, and thought she was very polite and kind, but she didn't expect to be so vicious: "She knew about your relationship with Yangyang, and actually used this relationship to torture you!" β
Yi Shulan's eyes were full of tears, but she held back and didn't let the tears fall.
As an excellent scientist, Xu Yunzhi certainly knows that psychological distortions are inevitable for people like Qin Haoyang who have been so humiliated. What will happen to him in the future is completely unpredictable. Yi Shulan's so-called "crippled" must also refer to this.
"I don't know what happened to Yangyang now...... And Yunlong, they ......" Xu Yunzhi muttered, unable to continue. Qin Haoyang's experience is enough to prove that once the boys fall into the hands of the Jones, their fate will be miserable. She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"I don't know," said Yi Shulan, "and they didn't let me see them again!" β
"I'm incompetent as a governor!" Xu Yunzhi sighed reproachfully: "Let you, let the people of the earth suffer this ......"
She stood up suddenly, walked over to the door and knocked. The guard asked her what was the matter, and she said she wanted to meet Samantha.
"Didn't you just meet her?" The guard was curious: "Why are you seeing her again?" β
"If there is something important, report it immediately!" Xu Yunzhi is categorical.
The guards had no choice but to contact Samantha. She talked to someone for a long time, but after the call, she told Xu Yunzhi that Samantha was sick and couldn't see her.
"I was fine just now, but suddenly I got sick?" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "Don't dare to see me? β
"Not really!" The guard said, "The doctors are examining the Governor!" β
Xu Yunzhi stared at the guard for a while, and after making sure that she was not lying, he retreated into the house. She pondered, and seemed to be very engrossed, which made Yi Shulan puzzled.
"What's wrong, Professor Xu?" Yi Shulan asked, "Do you think Samantha is sick or not?" β
"Oh...... No! She's really sick! Xu Yunzhi seemed to be awakened: "How could she be sick?" β
"Why, don't the Jones people get sick?"
"I can't say for sure," Xu Yunzhi said, "but we have dealt with the Jones people for so many years, and we have never heard that they will have a headache and brain fever like us earthlings, but Samantha actually has a fever, strange ......"
Yi Shulan couldn't answer, but Xu Yunzhi knew that the Jones people had made full preparations in order to land on Earth. According to historical records, before the Hundred Years' War, when the Jones first arrived in the solar system and built Central City with the earthlings, there was a time when it seemed that the earth's microbes were not so friendly to the Jones.
The information is not detailed, as the Jones did not inform the Earth. But judging from the records on Earth, it seems that the Jones people had an epidemic for a while, but not as severe as their ancestors on that unknown planet.
So now it seems that Xu Yunzhi feels that the Jones people finally established a lunar base, I am afraid that it is not just because it is not as simple as avoiding a misfire with the earthlings. There must be other reasons why they did not hesitate to use a large amount of reserve materials to build a lunar base. Later, when the moon base was destroyed, they simply stayed on the mothership. So much so that after the armistice agreement was signed, Shu Yunpeng was authorized by Yi Qianya to invite them to settle on Earth, but they also politely declined.
They have been in the air for nearly a hundred years, and they must be developing all the countermeasures necessary to land on Earth! But now, Samantha is actually sick, does it have anything to do with this? β¦β¦
However, this was just Xu Yunzhi's conjecture, not necessarily right, so she didn't tell Yi Shulan.
Samantha couldn't see Xu Yunzhi due to illness, and Xu Yunzhi had no choice but to forget it. But she didn't expect that shortly after dinner, Jones Moon and Lehman came.
"Are you two here all of a sudden, what's wrong?" Xu Yunzhi saw Jones Moon and Lehman enter the house, so he asked straight to the point.
"Hehe, Professor Xu is still so refreshing!" Jones Moon smiled a little embarrassedly: "Since Professor Xu is so refreshing, then I will say it bluntly: "Samantha is sick, I want to ask Professor Xu to move over and have a look, is it okay?" β
I just wanted to see Samantha, saying that she was sick and couldn't see her, but now I took the initiative to invite her, but it was funny: "Mistaken, General Moon, I'm an astronomer, not a doctor, is it useful for Samantha to go see her when she's sick?" β
"Don't be modest with this Professor Xu!" Jones Moon said: "As far as I know, Professor Xu's mentor, Professor Huang Lang, has asked each of you to learn several technologies at the same time because there are too few scientific and technological personnel. Because Professor Huang Lao is a biologist and a good doctor, Professor Xu studied medicine with him, right? β
"Looks like you've studied us closely!" Xu Yunzhi was so shocked that she had to cheer up: "So, please tell me how Samantha got sick first." β
"It's also an accident," it was Lehman who answered: "Samantha went with you to see Miss Shulan, and was ridiculed by Miss Shulan, and her face was not good at that time." After parting with you, she went back to herself, and before she entered the door, in the hallway, her nostrils began to bleed. We thought she was angry with Shulan girl, and she was a little anxious, so it would be good for her to rest and calm down. Who knows, it didn't take long for her to start having a fever! β
"Has she ever had this before?" Xu Yunzhi pondered for a while and asked.
"Once," Lehman said, "but only a fever, no nosebleeds." β
"Okay, I'll go take a look!" Xu Yunzhi thought about it for a moment and agreed. She beckoned Yi Shulan to go with her, Jones Moon felt that it was not appropriate to let Yi Shulan go with her, Xu Yunzhi smiled.
"Underestimate our Shulan!" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "She may be more professional than me!" β
Yi Shulan has followed Dr. Shu since she was a child, helping her to apply medicine and bandage the wounded. Later, when I came to Central City, I often participated in the work of caring for the wounded and so on, and I was really able to blind people. said that he was more professional than Xu Yunzhi, that was indeed Xu Yunzhi's deliberate bluffing. When Jones Moon and Lehman saw Xu Yunzhi say this, they could only agree to Yi Shulan to accompany them.
After Xu Yunzhi examined Samantha, he said to Jones Moon and the others: "It's just a common cold of earthlings, you should have studied some viruses and bacteria on our planet, targeted medicines, right?" β
"Yes, it's already used!" A Dr. Jones replied.
"Let me see the ...... of the medicine you use," Xu Yunzhi looked at the pathology report and prescriptions displayed by Dr. Jones with a holographic image. She looked at it very carefully, and after reading it she said, "Very well, then it's fine." Of course, with our habits, it will be better to walk around the well-ventilated area, bask in the sun, and breathe some fresh air. β
"Professor Hsu means to use the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight to sterilize and disinfect," Dr. Jones said, "and we've already disinfected the Governor's entire room with ultraviolet light!" β
"It's different!" Xu Yunzhi said: "Living organisms grow in the natural environment and need to be integrated with the natural environment. Artificial ultraviolet rays may seem stronger than the ultraviolet rays in sunlight, but they are actually different, and the effect is even better when combined with fresh air in the wild...... Of course, the dungeon gates are closed, and there is no way to do this, so you can only settle. β
"So, Professor Xu has been in the dungeon for longer than us, why hasn't he been like me?" Although Samantha burned badly, she still didn't forget to lift the bar.
"Because I'm an earthling!" Xu Yunzhi replied very succinctly.
"You mean, the earthlings have better resistance than us?" Samantha laughed. She felt that Xu Yunzhi was suspected of opening the gate of the dungeon.
"It's not!" Xu Yunzhi said: "It's just that here, our resistance is better than yours, because this is the home planet of our earthlings, and it can even be said that this is our virus ......."
Xu Yunzhi said, laughed, and changed the topic again: "Speaking of which, I just wanted to find you, I wanted to ask, Qin Haoyang and Xiang Yunlong, how are they now?" β
"They'......" Samantha hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll wait until I'm well, okay?" β
"Okay! I'm waiting! β
Xu Yunzhi and Yi Shulan were escorted back to their rooms. As soon as the door was closed, Yi Shulan nervously asked Xu Yunzhi if she had found anything.
"You see that?"
"Yes, I think you have something to say!" Yi Shulan said.
"Shulan is so smart!" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "I carefully read Samantha's pathology report, although it is just a very common cold virus, it seems to have mutated quickly in Samantha, which is very strange!" β
"Aren't cold viruses mutating quickly?" Yi Shulan said: "Even in us earthlings, there are often mutations, isn't it? β
"But this mutation is very peculiar," Xu Yunzhi said: "Let's put it this way, the cold virus on Samantha's body has very strange mutation characteristics. Now, her colds are no longer contagious to earthlings! Do you think it's strange that a common cold virus, originally native to Earth, has now become like the Jones people brought it from their home planet? β
"You mean," Yi Shulan also became excited, "this virus is likely to spread in the dungeon and spread to all the Jones people?" β¦β¦β
"It's possible...... But not necessarily," Xu Yunzhi said, "The level of technology of the Jones people is indeed extraordinary. I looked at the medicine they gave Samantha, and it was quite targeted. Therefore, they are likely to have the ability to control their contagion. β
