Chapter 7: The Frightened Atlanteans
"The Atlantean woke up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝU๏ฝEใ Info," Dr. Wren began.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Xin suddenly became excited, "Then what are you worried about, there is finally good news, wait for me, I will go over immediately." โ
"Don't be too happy just yet." Wren kept his tone worried, "Although she woke up, her condition ......"
"What's wrong with her?" Zhou Xin finally heard Wren's tone, and he hurriedly asked nervously.
Wren sighed slightly, then continued, "This ...... See for yourself. โ
At this moment, the camera moves slightly, Wren disappears from the screen, and a hospital bed appears. Zhou Xin wondered why there was no one on this hospital bed at first glance, he looked at it fixedly, and then found a figure curled up in the corner of the hospital bed.
"Is this - the Atlanteans?" Zhou Xin was unsure at first, he subconsciously asked, and after getting Wren's affirmation, he hesitated to speak again, "She's now-what's going on?" โ
Wren explained helplessly off-screen, "As soon as I woke up, she woke up after I went out for a while, and then shrunk up in the corner of the hospital bed like this, and even unplugged all kinds of equipment connectors on her body." I tried to reattach her, but whenever I got close to her, she would scream in horror and throw everything she could throw at me. Then, the camera pans back to Wren, who has a bitter face, "At first, I was hit, but fortunately, the Atlantean threw the pillow first, and then he threw all kinds of bottles and even the knife on the table." A knife flew right next to my body, and if it had been a little bit off, I'd have to lie on the hospital bed and report to you. โ
After listening to Wren's words, Zhou Xin couldn't laugh or cry a little, "Maybe she just arrived in a new environment and felt nervous when she saw a different life." Anyway, you're not injured, so don't worry about her anymore, so how is her physical condition now, is there anything abnormal? โ
"Seeing her so energetic, do you think there's something abnormal?" Wren said angrily, "Her current abnormality is that she is too energetic, I have to find a way to appease her." โ
"Uh-that's hard for you."
"As long as he doesn't throw a knife at me, there's nothing hard to do." Wren said helplessly, and then he turned his head to look in the direction of the hospital bed, "Eh-uh-that can't be taken!" Don't lose it! Ahh Then, Wren disappeared from the screen at once, and there was a sound of things breaking and shelves toppling over in the communicator, and the sound was mixed with Wren's cursing, but it seemed that the translator had turned on the blocking function, and Zhou Xin only heard a "beep-" sound in the communicator. After a while, the noise died down, and then Wren appeared in front of the camera with a disgraced face. Zhou Xin saw that Wren's hair was scattered and disheveled on the screen, and there were burnt marks on the hem of his clothes, and he asked with concern, "Are you okay, what happened just now?" โ
Wren said weakly on the screen: "She just threw me a bottle of saline. โ
Hearing that it was just a bottle of salt water, Zhou Xin didn't care, "Isn't it just a bottle of salt water, how could it be like this?" โ
"The problem is not in the brine, but in where the brine is thrown." Wren reluctantly received, "She threw the salt water on the monitoring instrument next to her!" The instrument shorted out in an instant, and then, as you see it next. Wren gestured to himself.
Zhou Xin was speechless for a moment, and he said with some hesitation: "Then-I'll go over later, and I'll leave that Atlantean to you." โ
"No, you'd better hurry up." Wren hurriedly said, "If you come slowly, I'm afraid I'll be demolished by her." โ
"It's good to demolish, just enough to build a new one." Spred teased.
"Then it's decided, I'll send you." Zhou Xin said to Spred seriously.
"You can't be serious, are you?" Spred suddenly became nervous, seeing Zhou Xin looking at him with a smile, he was defeated, and he said helplessly, "You better go quickly, I don't want to repair a medical cabin." Hearing Spred's words, Zhou Xin stood up with a smile and walked towards the door.
"I'll go, I'll go." Ralph hurriedly stood up from his seat, Zhou Xin waved his hand to signal her to follow, and then walked out of the command cabin.
As soon as Zhou Xin arrived at the door of the medical cabin, he saw Dr. Wren standing in front of him with a sad face, and in the short time when Zhou Xin ended the communication and came to the medical cabin, Dr. Wren's clothes became even more messy, and before Zhou Xin could speak, Wren complained helplessly: "Just now, that Atlantean broke two more medical equipment, and I am ready to move out of the valuable equipment in the medical cabin first." As he spoke, two robots behind him came out with a piece of equipment, and just as the second robot was out of the door, there was another noise in the medical cabin, as if something had fallen to the ground. Dr. Wren smiled wryly, and then motioned for Zhou Xin to follow him into the medical cabin.
After entering the medical cabin, Zhou Xin found that the originally orderly medical cabin was now in a mess, and many large medical equipment that had been placed were gone, and it seemed that they had been moved out. On the ground, there are scattered debris, and many of these debris are incomplete except for some metal products that are still intact. Zhou Xin and Ralph stepped cautiously over the debris, trying to walk to the bedside.
However, just as they were cautiously staring at the things on the ground, so as not to step on sharp objects, they heard a very loud scream, Zhou Xin subconsciously raised his head, and at the moment of raising his head, he saw a small object flying towards him quickly out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly lowered his head, and the thing flew over with his hair, and then, Zhou Xin heard a crashing sound behind him. He turned his head slowly, and saw a bottle of unknown material lying quietly by the door of the medical module. Seeing that it was a bottle, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he turned his head back to the direction of the hospital bed, and when he saw the Atlanteans on the hospital bed, Zhou Xin couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
The Atlantean was huddled in the corner of the hospital bed, in the corner behind her, her left hand clasping her knee tightly and her right hand clutching a scalpel. Zhou Xin saw that her expression was very frightened, her right hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and she also made a gesture of throwing the scalpel out. Zhou Xin stared at her tightly, and then tried to take a step forward, and at the same time as he raised his foot, the Atlantean screamed in fear, and with her scream, the scalpel she was holding tightly in her hand came out of her hand and flew straight towards Zhou Xin.
At the moment when the scalpel came off, Zhou Xin hurriedly dodged, and pulled Ralph and Wren beside him by the way. After dodging, Zhou Xin heard the sound of metal hitting behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the scalpel was being inserted straight into the door of the medical cabin, and his face was instantly covered with cold sweat.
Slowly turning her head back to the hospital bed, Zhou Xin found that the Atlantean had taken out another scalpel out of nowhere, and she maintained her previous posture and continued to stare at Zhou Xin and them tightly.
These Zhou Xin didn't dare to act rashly, he stared at the front tightly, and then asked Wren, "Is this how she attacked you before?" It's really hard for you. โ
Wren's embarrassed voice came from in front of him, "It's okay, she always threw some medicine bottles at me before, and as for the knife, she only threw one at me, and I gave up approaching her after she lost the first knife." Then I put away all the sharp things in the room, so she just cowered in the corner and didn't do anything else. โ
"And where did the knife come from?" Zhou Xin was suddenly helpless, "It didn't take long for the weapon to be automatically upgraded?" โ
"Wellโ" Wren touched his head awkwardly, "maybe it's my medical kit that I didn't know where I forgot it, and she found it when I just went out." โ
"Please keep this dangerous item at hand in the future." Zhou Xin said angrily, "Next time, I don't want to be welcomed like this 'grand' again." โ
"Haha, haha," Wren laughed awkwardly.
"And how are we supposed to approach her now?" Ralph asked.
"I'll give it a try." Zhou Xin stared at the Atlanteans huddled in the corner and said.
After saying that, Zhou Xin spread out his two hands, he turned his palms towards the Atlantean, signaling that his hands were empty, and then he slowly raised his hands above his head, and then tried to move a step forward.
When Zhou Xin raised his hands, the Atlantean didn't react, just stared at him vigilantly, but just as Zhou Xin tried to lift his feet and move forward, the Atlantean screamed and made a gesture to throw the scalpel, and in desperation, Zhou Xin had to put his raised foot back in place. Zhou Xin held this action for a few minutes, and then tried to get close again, but the vigilant Atlantean stopped Zhou Xin's movement again, and the situation suddenly came to an impasse.
In the following period, Zhou Xin tried several more times, but was stopped by the Atlantean. The strange thing is that as long as Zhou Xin doesn't move forward, the Atlantean won't react, just stare at him tightly, but as long as Zhou Xin has the desire to move forward, then he will get her warning at the first time. And it seems that she is very sensitive to distance, once Zhou Xin quietly moved a small step forward when he lowered his head, but as soon as she looked up, she screamed loudly, and the scalpel in her hand was about to come out of her hand, but fortunately, Zhou Xin hurriedly took a step back, and she was quiet again.
"It seems that this Atlantean is very insecure." After Zhou Xin's attempt failed again, Wren, who had been observing from the side for a long time, spoke.
"So what should we do? It's impossible to keep going on like this. Zhou Xin asked.
"Wait a minute, maybeโmaybe a little while......" Wren said uncertainly.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xin looked at Wren in bewilderment, and just as he turned his head, he heard the sound of a heavy object sliding behind him. Zhou Xin didn't bother to listen to Wren's answer and turned his head back again, and when he looked at the hospital bed again, he saw the Atlantean lying in a strange position in the corner of the bed, she seemed to be unconscious again, and she still held the scalpel tightly in her hand.
Ignoring the danger, Zhou Xin walked to the side of the hospital bed in three steps and two steps, and as soon as she walked to the side of the bed, Zhou Xin first took off the scalpel in her hand, and then observed the situation of the Atlantean with a nervous face, and asked while observing, "What's going on?" Didn't you just wake up, why did you fall into a coma again? โ
"Sure enough." Doctor Wren looked as a matter of course, he walked to the bedside to help Zhou Xin put the Atlanteans flat on the hospital bed, then checked her condition a little, and then said with a relaxed face, "It's not a big problem, it's just malnutrition caused by a long coma, plus the mental tension just now that he is in a coma, let him eat something or inject a little nutrition, and he will be fine after resting for a while." โ
"And when will she wake up?" Zhou Xin asked with concern.
"It won't be long, a few hours at most."
"That's good." Zhou Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief, "You have to watch him this time, I don't want to see her the next time I see her, she still has some strange weapon in her hand." After thinking about it, Zhou Xin changed his mind, "Forget it, before she changes her mind, I'll find an empty room for her to live in, so as not to have any accidents." He then instructed the Voyager about this, and in a few moments the Voyager informed him that the room was ready.
Wren breathed a sigh of relief, "I can finally get out of this trouble." Then, together with Zhou Xin, he moved the Atlantean to a special room that had been prepared, where the objects were tightly fixed to the floor and had no sharp parts on them. There were no movable items except a few cups and sheets.
In the process of placing the Atlantean, Dr. Wren also found time to give her a nutritional injection. After the placement was completed, he went back to pack up the medical pod. Since it might be a few hours before Atlantis wakes up, Zhou Xin wants to tell a robot to stay and take care of her, but Ralph volunteers to stay and take care of her.
"It's pitiful to be alone in front of a cold robot, what if something happens." These are Ralph's exact words.
At Ralph's insistence, Zhou Xin had no choice but to leave her in the room, but before leaving the room, he kept telling Ralph to be safe and inform him as soon as anything happened. When Ralph felt impatient, Zhou Xin finally left the room......
