Chapter 9 Refusal to communicate
Zhou Xin looked at the food in his hand, and then at the Atlantean, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He raised the food in his hand at the Atlantean www.biquge.info "Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions, this is food for you, food understand?" Zhou Xin made a gesture of eating.
Seeing that the Atlantean man's gaze seemed to be a little puzzled, Zhou Xin held the food and tried to approach her again. But he only took two steps forward, and the Atlantean in the hospital bed screamed again, but this time her cry was a little weak, and she struggled to get back up from the bed, but after only two attempts, she collapsed again.
In order not to let her suffer more damage, Zhou Xin immediately retreated, and the situation was deadlocked again, and this time it was even more embarrassing. Zhou Xin wanted to feed her, but according to the current situation, if she wanted to feed, it seemed that she would have to wait until she was unconscious, and when she had the strength to wake up, she couldn't take the initiative to feed her because she couldn't communicate, so she had to wait for her to be unconscious. The matter of feeding the Atlanteans seems to have suddenly fallen into an endless loop.
Seeing Zhou Xin standing there with food a little embarrassed, Ralph next to him said, "Let me try it." ”
"Is there anything you can do?" Zhou Xin looked at Ralph and asked.
"Nope." Ralph said honestly, "But if I try, it won't get any worse, will it." ”
Zhou Xin thought about it and felt that what Ralph said was indeed reasonable, so he handed over the things in his hand to her, and while handing it to her, Zhou Xin also instructed: "Pay attention to safety when you go over, and if you see that the situation is not good, you will return it first, and we will find another way." ”
Ralph nodded, then took something from Zhou Xin's hand, took the food, and she tried to take a step towards the hospital bed.
The Atlantean watched suspiciously, as Zhou Xin and Spred communicated, and when she saw Ralph taking over Zhou Xin's job and facing herself, her eyes became vigilant again. And when she saw Ralph take a step towards her, she cried out again, but this time her voice was weaker than before, and she struggled to get up again, but this time she only raised her hand symbolically, and then her hand fell limply on the hospital bed.
"It still doesn't look good." Watching the Atlantean's movements a little anxiously, Zhou Xin said to Ralph, "Let's go back, and we'll think of other ways." ”
Ralph ignored Zhou Xin's words, she stood still, and made the same gesture of eating at the Atlantean as Zhou Xin had done before, but this time she did it slowly, and repeated it several times. When he was sure that the Atlantean saw his movements, Ralph took the food in his hand and put it in his mouth and took a bite. Then, she reached out to the Atlantean with the bite of food.
The Atlantean's wary look disappeared in an instant after seeing Ralph take a bite of the food in his hand, and then there was a hint of longing in her gaze, and she tried to lift her hand up again, and then she didn't try to get up from the bed again, but reached out to Ralph, but her hand was only half raised, and then fell limply back to the bed.
Seeing the actions of the Atlantean, Zhou Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that she had understood what Ralph meant. Ralph also showed a relieved face, but this time she did not grin as much as before, but continued to slowly approach the hospital bed, the Atlantean obviously saw Ralph's movements, but she did not stop Ralph from approaching, so Ralph came to the hospital bed smoothly.
Standing on the edge of the bed, Ralph held out his hand for food to the Atlanteans. Despite the Atlantean's efforts to raise her hand to take Ralph's food, she no longer had the strength to do so. Seeing that her hand had no strength to lift, her face showed an anxious look, and then she said something to Ralph in a weak voice. Ralph seemed to understand what the Atlanteans meant, and she tore off a small piece of the food she was holding with her hand, and sent it to the Atlantean's mouth, and the Atlantean cooperated to open his mouth, and Ralph slowly put the food into her mouth.
Zhou Xin saw that the Atlantean seemed to be frowning tightly when he first opened his mouth, but after Ralph stuffed the food into her mouth, she chewed it twice, her brow instantly relaxed, and then she chewed it twice quickly, and then swallowed the food in her mouth, and then he opened his mouth again, so Ralph tore another piece of food and stuffed it into her mouth.
The feeding process continued for a while, and when Ralph's hand was half less food, the Atlantean seemed to have a little strength. She sat up on the hospital bed and held out her hand to Ralph, who handed her the rest of the food. She took the food, then quickly shoved it into her mouth, her mouth bulging in an instant, she chewed it twice quickly, and then swallowed it. But this one seemed to be a bit big, and she choked at once, and Ralph hurriedly patted him on the back. Zhou Xin saw it from a distance and motioned for Ralph to hand her the water, so Ralph handed the water bottle in his hand too, the Atlantean took the water bottle, opened the lid and looked at it, and then leaned over to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it, and then she handed the bottle to Ralph, she looked at Ralph's face with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
Ralph looked at the Atlantean in front of him in confusion, and seeing that she kept this movement, Ralph hesitated for a moment and took the water bottle. Then he looked at her suspiciously. At this moment, the Atlantean made a gesture of drinking water with his empty hand, and Ralph came to his senses. She took a sip of the water in the bottle, and then handed it back to the Atlantean, who took the bottle again, this time she didn't hesitate, picked up the bottle and took a big sip, after pouring a large sip of water, she suddenly began to cough, and Ralph quickly patted her on the back again.
"I'm really vigilant." Seeing the action of the Atlantean before drinking water, Zhou Xin frowned and said, "It looks like the next exchange will be very troublesome." ”
In just a few minutes, the Atlantean had finished the food and water, and after eating, she regained a little refreshment. Then she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that she didn't seem to have any drastic movements, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but he seemed to have relaxed too early, and suddenly, the Atlantean man's eyes became vigilant again, seeing her eyes, Zhou Xin suddenly chuckled, and then rushed to the side of the hospital bed to pull Ralph away. But before he rushed to the side of the hospital bed, it was too late, the Atlantean had already met Ralph, but to Zhou Xin's surprise, she didn't do anything to Ralph, just reached out and pushed Ralph, and then took Ralph's hand and shook it, and Zhou Xin, who was rushing halfway, was stunned for a moment.
This time, the Atlantean didn't care about Zhou Xin's approach, but Zhou Xin saw that she had been pushing Ralph beside her, with an anxious and embarrassed expression on her face, her feet were still moving staggered, and her mouth was repeating a word they didn't understand.
Looking at the actions of the Atlantean, Ralph seemed to be a little puzzled, she turned her gaze to Zhou Xin and asked, "What does she mean?" Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Looking at her action, she should want to go to the toilet, you take her to the toilet to try?" ”
Then Ralph helped her and led her to the small room next to her, Zhou Xin walked to the side of the room very worriedly, and before he could react, he saw a cup flying over, but it seemed that the strength of the cup was not great, and it fell to the ground when it touched his body, and Zhou Xin reacted. At this moment, Ralph glanced at him, and the Atlantean also looked at him with hatred, Zhou Xin smiled awkwardly, he scratched his head, took a few steps back, and then he heard a heavy door slamming shut.
After a while, there was a flushing sound in the toilet, and then the door was opened, and Ralph walked out first, and then the Atlantean came out with a relaxed expression, and when he came out, he glanced at Zhou Xin. Just when Zhou Xin was about to get close to her, she screamed again, Zhou Xin was startled by her, only to see her point to Zhou Xin, and then to the door, the meaning of letting him go out was very obvious.
Zhou Xin cried and laughed, and then he motioned for Ralph to let her go out with him, and when he saw that Ralph was showing signs of going out, the Atlantean spoke again, but this time her voice was not as excited as before, and she was still holding Ralph's hand as she spoke, and it seemed that she didn't want Ralph to go.
Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Ralph with worried eyes, but Ralph was very calm, she said: "Uncle Captain, you can go out, I'll stay here with her for a while, don't worry, it's okay." ”
Seeing that the Atlantean man really didn't seem to have any excesses, Zhou Xin explained: "Then pay attention to yourself, if there is any situation, call the robot outside." ”
"Alright, alright." Ralph waved his hand impatiently at Zhou Xin, and then she pulled the Atlantean to sit on the edge of the bed, and then tried to communicate with her. Zhou Xin saw that the Atlantean seemed to be normal now, so he walked out of the room, and outside the room, he gave the robot an order to keep an eye on the movement in the room, and then went back to the command cabin.
Back in the command cabin, Zhou Xin explained to Spred what had just happened, and when he heard that the Atlantean had quieted down, Spred was also a little relieved.
For the next few days, Ralph stayed in that room trying to communicate with the Atlantean, and Zhou Xin came to see her from time to time, but she was still very wary except that she was not as excited as before. According to Ralph, she never paid attention to what she said to the Atlantean, but sat quietly on the edge of the bed or in a chair, and only said a few words when it was time to eat or go to the bathroom. Later, Ralph tried to teach her to speak with a literacy card, but she only watched quietly, neither reading along nor speaking her own language.
After a few days, Ralph was also bored, but when she tried to get out of the room, the Atlantean grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her go. Another point is that the Atlantean seems to be very sensitive to robots, at first the robot will regularly deliver three meals to the room, but every time she sees the robot enter the room, the Atlantean is very excited, she holds Ralph's hand tightly, and keeps saying something in her mouth. Ralph could feel that she was a little scared, and after a few times, Ralph simply told the robot not to send it in, but to send it to the door to get it himself, and from this time on, the Atlantean was never excited again, just sat there quietly, and even Zhou Xin didn't react when he came in.
Seeing that the Atlantean didn't seem to cooperate with them to communicate, Zhou Xin felt a little anxious, but he knew that this matter needed to rely on the Atlantean to take the initiative himself, so he had no choice but to let the time pass day by day.
Spred: They also knew that the Atlanteans were unwilling to cooperate, and they were also anxious. Because the probe has been searching the surface of the frozen planet for a long time, it still finds no trace of other Atlanteans. So, the origin of the Atlanteans became the only clue. So they were also thinking of ways to get the Atlantean to take the initiative to communicate with them, and in the end, it was Renard who came up with a feasible proposal.
"Why don't you show her the video we saw in the underground base?" "After all, this is the only information we have about the Atlantean civilization. ”
Hearing Renard's suggestion, Zhou Xin discussed it with Spred, and they both thought it was a good suggestion, so Zhou Xin showed the video to the Atlanteans.
But this seemed to have the opposite effect, and the Atlantean became excited when she saw the video, and before the video was finished, she picked up the cup on the table and smashed the monitor. Since then, she has become more vigilant, and now, in addition to Ralph being able to approach her, she will give a warning sound even when Zhou Xin comes to the room. This made Renard regret it greatly, and he always felt that it was his suggestion that had changed the Atlantean's attitude.
Zhou Xin saw that he was blaming himself, so he walked up to him and tried to comfort him......
