Chapter XVII: The Cause of the Coma
"Hmph. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Christy turned her head away and ignored Zhou Xin.
"This-this-" Zhou Xin Zhou Xin was a little speechless, "Okay, okay, it's my fault." He coaxed Christy, and then whispered to himself, "It made sense to us, but in the end it became that I was going to coax her." β
"Humph!" Christy turned her head and said a little angrily, "It's your fault, you know, when that laser hit me, I almost thought I was going to die, and when I woke up, there was a strange uncle staring at me, it scared me to death, I thought you were going to arrest me for a strange experiment." β
"Strange uncle?" Zhou Xin thought evilly, "If Wren knew that your evaluation of him was like this, and I don't know what he would think, I would be looking forward to his expression." Then he opened his mouth and comforted: "Okay, okay, this is my mistake, I shouldn't have brought you up in this way, but who knew that there would be a person hiding in the platform where there was no one." He was still trying to explain.
"Okay, okay, for the sake of the fact that you are treating me well now, I will forgive you for the time being." Christy waved her hand, and then she asked, "Didn't you just say that you picked up another Atlantean?" Then let's stop chatting and take me to see my companions. β
"Thisβ" Zhou Xin suddenly felt a little unconfident when he heard Christy turn the subject back to the Atlanteans, and he said cautiously, "It's okay to take you there, butβ" He paused.
"But what? Say it soon. Christy hurriedly urged, and then she reacted, "You can't have used the same means to get him up, do you, do you mean he's still unconscious?" Or is it injured? She asked in a hurried tone.
Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, "Originally, we were going to politely invite her up, butβ" He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "That Atlantean's resistance was even fiercer than you had before, so I used a little violence to keep him." β
"Knocked people unconscious again?" Christy said angrily, "You used the same method as when you left me, hmph, what's the matter, he still hasn't woken up?" β
"Well, still unconscious." Zhou Xin cautiously replied, "The situation may be a little worseβuhβyou might as well go over and see for yourself." β
"Worse?" Christy asked suspiciously, "Forget it, I heard you say that it is better to go over and have a look, and take me there." With that, she walked out of the room, and Zhou Xin and Ralph hurriedly followed.
In the process of going to the medical cabin, Zhou Xin was still thinking about how to explain to Christy next, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a good reason, seeing that the medical cabin was about to arrive, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but there was no way to be in a hurry, at this time, they had arrived at the door of the medical cabin. When he arrived at the door of the medical cabin, Zhou Xin saw that he couldn't hide, but he wanted to open it, so he opened the door of the medical cabin and walked in.
After entering the medical cabin, Zhou Xin found that Dr. Wren was standing in front of a medical instrument looking at the data on it, and now he was frowning and thinking, and did not notice Zhou Xin's arrival.
Before Zhou Xin could greet Wren, he heard an exclamation from behind him. Christy had just entered the medical chamber when she saw the Atlantean unconscious in her hospital bed, and she looked at it intently, then recognized the person's identity.
"Mother!" Zhou Xin only heard an exclamation, and then he felt a gust of wind blowing by, and before he could come to his senses, Christy rushed to the side of the hospital bed, and then she reached out to help the Atlantean on the bed.
"Don't touch her." Just as Christy rushed to the bedside, Wren saw them, and he hurriedly shouted to stop them. However, Christy ignored his words, she tried to help the Atlantean up, and after trying it, Christy found that her body was confined by the various connections to the various pipes, so she wanted to remove the various pipes that connected the Atlantean.
Hearing Christy's name for the Atlantean, Zhou Xin chuckled, and then suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Stop her." Wren shouted loudly, and then he hurriedly rushed to the side of the hospital bed, and Zhou Xin was reminded by Wren before he finally came back to his senses. Seeing this, he also hurried towards the hospital bed. Although Wren was relatively close to the hospital bed, Zhou Xin's feet were longer, so he rushed to the side of the hospital bed before Wren. As he rushed to the bed, Christy had pulled out the tube that had been inserted into the Atlantean's right arm, and her hand was reaching for the other arm. Zhou Xin, who rushed to Christie's side, hurriedly pressed her hand when she saw this, her hand was still struggling, but it was probably afraid of hurting the Atlanteans on the hospital bed, so her struggle was not violent.
"What do you want to do to my mother, let me go." Christy shouted anxiously.
"Don't get excited, we're saving your mother." Zhou Xin pressed her hand tightly and explained quickly, and then he briefly recounted to Christy what had happened when he brought her mother back. With that, he closed his mouth and looked at Christy with apologetic eyes.
Halfway through Zhou Xin's words, Christy's struggle stopped, and after listening to Zhou Xin's words, she didn't react excitedly, just quietly looked at the Atlanteans on the hospital bed.
Zhou Xin looked at Christy a little nervously, seeing that she didn't get excited after she finished speaking, Zhou Xin was even more empty. He knew it was just the calm before the storm, and he didn't know what to do with Christy after she reacted. When Zhou Xin was nervously thinking, he subconsciously clenched his hands.
"Ahh What are you doing! At this time, Christy's scream brought Zhou Xin back to his senses, and he looked at Christy with a blank expression, and then he saw Christy looking at him with an angry face.
"I still don't let go, what are you doing with such a tight grip, it hurts me to death." Christy shouted angrily at Zhou Xin.
Only then did Zhou Xin react, he hurriedly let go of the hand holding Christie, and then lowered his head, waiting for the storm to come. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Christy to erupt, which made him feel strange, and he looked up at Christy. As a result, Zhou Xin found that she was not looking at herself, but quietly looking at the Atlantean on the hospital bed, and tears flowed from her eyes.
Zhou Xin immediately panicked, "You-you-you-don't cry, it's all my fault, you can scold me." β
Christy shed tears for a while, then stood up, she stared at Zhou Xin tightly for a while, and Zhou Xin lowered her head again, and then she said calmly: "Now that things are like this, is it still useful to blame you?" Tell me, how is my mother doing now? β
Hearing Christie's words, Zhou Xin was surprised, "You don't blame me?" He asked subconsciously, but as soon as the words came out he felt that something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, and he immediately raised his head and looked at Christy with anxiety.
Christy glanced at Zhou Xin, and then said angrily, "What, you still want me to beat you up to be satisfied, right?" Seeing Zhou Xin's relieved expression, she continued, "But don't be too happy, it doesn't mean that I don't blame you." Hmph, wouldn't that be cheaper for you, you owe it for the time being, and you will have to pay it back later. β
After listening to Christy's words, Zhou Xin's face cried again, "Then you might as well teach me a lesson directly......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Christy's face change again, and he hurriedly stopped.
"Hmph." She snorted again, "Now is it more important to teach you or cure my mother, if you don't talk about my mother's current situation, you will wait to pay it back in the future." Her tone began to grow angry.
"Don't, I say I'll say." Then Zhou Xin hurriedly told her about Christie's mother's current situation, and Wren added from time to time.
After listening to Zhou Xin's explanation, Christy replied without thinking, "Nonsense, my mother is now dormant, and of course your medicine is useless for her. β
"Hibernated?" Zhou Xin and Wren asked in unison.
"It's a state of self-preservation for our Atlanteans." Christy calmly explains, "When our body is fatally attacked, we enter this state of suspended animation, in which all kinds of metabolism in our body enter extremely low levels. And during this period of dormancy, the body will basically remain the same as it was when it first entered hibernation. In this state, as long as there is no further serious injury, the body automatically rejects any interference from the outside world, including minor injuries and any means of treatment. β
"And how is this treated?" Wren asked, "There's no way she's going to be in this coma all the time, right?" β
"The only way to cure her is to use our repair pod." Christy explained, "Immerse the dormant person in a repair pod filled with a special potion, so that her body will automatically begin to recover. After the injuries are fully recovered, the person who has gone into a dormant state will wake up automatically. β
"I see." Zhou Xin and the others suddenly realized, and then Wren asked, "Then our previous treatment is useless?" β
"Otherwise, what would I do with these things?" Christy lifted the dismantled line next to her and said, "The first time I saw it, I could basically see my mother's current state, and listening to your narration only made me understand why she was in a dormant state." β
Only then did Zhou Xin understand, "No wonder you were so calm before, it turned out that you knew that your mother could be cured." That's when he was truly relieved.
Christy glanced at Zhou Xin, "Remember to owe me a big favor, after all, it was your decision to make me Muqing what I am now, hum." Seeing Zhou Xin nodding at her practice, he promised to let him go.
At this time, Wren relieved the siege and said, "What are you going to do now, send your mother back to your base?" Will being in this state all the time hurt my body? There was a hint of concern in his tone.
"That's for sure." When asked about her mother, Christy didn't bother with Zhou Xin, she replied, "Although this coma doesn't cause harm to the body, it is impossible to keep my mother in a coma all the time, and it is better to send her back for treatment as soon as possible." But nowβ" Christy said as she carefully unplugged the medical line attached to her mother's other hand, "hurry up and help me get rid of all these things from my mother's body, how do I remove this?" She asked, looking at the device her mother was carrying.
"I'll do it anyway." Wren stepped forward to help Christy remove all the medical devices connected to her mother's body. At this time, Zhou Xin finally saw Christy's mother's appearance.
It was a typical Atlantean, she was very beautiful, and she could still see Christie's shadow between her eyebrows. In particular, the eyes and mouth are exactly the same as those of Christie, except for her nose. Her mother's nose had a slight hook, but Christy didn't. There are also some less noticeable wrinkles on her face, which do not look old, but rather add some mature charm.
After dismantling all the instruments, Christy put her mother back on the bed, then looked at it quietly for a while, then stood up and said to Zhou Xin, "My planetary car, I want to use the communication device inside to contact the base. β
"Planet Car? Oh - you mean the platform. Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, "It seems that it seems to be dismantling the engineering robot." He turned his head to look elsewhere and said. But then he hurriedly remedied, "Don't worry about it yet, I'll immediately ask the engineering robot to put your planetary car back together." I think it should be able to be put together in a day. β
Christy looked at Zhou Xin speechlessly, "What else have you done to our things or people, just say it together, I will be stimulated every time." β
"It's gone, it's gone." Zhou Xin turned his head back to Christy and waved his hand repeatedly, and then said with a bitter face, "We have met you two in total, what else can we do." In the past half month, we have been tortured by your people. He complained, and then Zhou Xin told Christy about the attack by the Atlanteans in the past half month.
"Well deserved." Christy said angrily, she thought for a while, "It seems that my mother has sent back the news of meeting you, otherwise the people in the base would not know about you on the surface of the planet, and they usually don't observe the surface of the planet." β
"So your base is really underground? But how do you know our whereabouts on the planet's surface? And how did you get to our detector all of a sudden? Zhou Xin asked curiously.
"Do you think I'm going to tell you? β¦β¦β
