54. Chapter 54: Cooperation
As soon as Ling Lan left, only Liang Bing and Bai Ge were left in the ward.
Yi Chen apologized to Liang Bing embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, it was my lack of strength at that time that made you fall ...... building."
"Why apologize? It was my own carelessness that I didn't anticipate the creeper's actions in advance. It's a surprise that you came to my rescue, and even if I'm really in trouble, you don't have to blame yourself. Liang Bing said lightly. She looked cold again, and last night's smile was really short-lived.
"You are the second second, the manifestation of excess self-awareness. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible for him to hold up the sky with one hand. Bai Ge also said, "In the process of performing the task, everyone is responsible for only one of the links. In this respect, you are no different from ordinary people, so why think too much of yourself and put so much breathless responsibility on yourself? You've dragged the creeper, and that's a big deal. ”
Yi Chen smiled: "Okay, it's me who thinks too much about myself. ”
Although Bai Ge's words were like criticism, he didn't feel annoyed when he heard it. Knowing his identity and being able to treat him as an ordinary person is exactly what he needs in his heart.
"What about the others, how are they now?" Yi Chen asked.
"Still on the periphery." Liang Bing replied. They didn't have a pass to enter the inner city, and they didn't get a permit.
"That'...... Will the Group's subsidiaries still operate normally in the future? Yi Chen was still thinking about his two jobs. It's easy to say here from the security company, his direct leader Bai Ge is sitting next to him, but it's not easy to deal with the animal husbandry company. It is not a trivial matter for his team leader to have problems at two ends in three days, the key is that if the rest of the second group wants to go to Beishan as usual, his Bobcat subordinates will not agree with them.
"It's as simple as you think. The situation on the periphery is relatively bad, the plans to go out of the city in the past few days have been canceled, and now the whole people are participating in the culling of zombies. Bai Ge said faintly.
"What? Are the zombies still in the city? ”
Bai Ge nodded. More than 1,000 zombies are not something that the guards at the entrance and exit of the city can resist, even if they clean up some on the spot, the people who were scratched and bitten by them quickly expanded the zombie team.
Yi Chen was silent, thinking that his family's whereabouts were unknown, and it was very likely that he was somewhere on the periphery, and he struggled to get out of bed.
"Don't move. If you're worried about your peripheral friends, Ling Lan and I will find a way to bring them in. Now it is very difficult, there are too many people on the periphery who want to approach the inner city, and those who disturb the peace will be directly executed. Bai Ge hurriedly persuaded him.
"My parents and sister don't know where they are yet, I have to find them......" Yi Chen's eyes turned red. After all, he is only a sixteen and a half-year-old child, and the most worrying thing at this moment is not anything else, but the safety of his family.
Bai Ge could fully understand his feelings. When she didn't get any news from Bai Yong, she also resolutely left the inner city and joined the periphery, just to find someone.
"Don't worry, your current body can't do anything. You can tell me the information of your family first, and I will check with Zhou Zihao. His network is relatively large, and it is better than you going out and looking for it aimlessly. ”
Yi Chen finally listened to the persuasion and nodded with difficulty.
"One more thing...... When we cleared the ruins of the dilapidated building, we couldn't find the body of the creeper. There was a big hole in the foundation of the building, which went straight to the ground, and it probably dug a hole and escaped. Bai Ge hesitated for a moment and said.
"What?!" Yi Chen's eyes widened, this was definitely the most terrifying news he had heard in recent times. What kind of international joke, the creeper is not dead?!
"This matter is confidential, and ordinary people on the periphery do not know about it yet. The senior management of the future group is sending people to track down, and some traces have been initially obtained. It is now known to operate in the city's sewers, appears to be seriously injured, and is recuperating. ”
"Ling Lan, they're studying the creeper muscle tissue you bit off, and it's estimated that they'll soon know what kind of creature mutated it was." Liang Bing, who had been silent, continued Bai Ge's words.
Yi Chen only felt stomach acid surging, and couldn't help retching. Did he bite each other and swallow rotten meat in a state of madness again?!
Bai Ge poured Yi Chen a glass of water, wanting him to slow down.
"We don't need this, if you want to make him comfortable, let's have some blood." Liang Bing said.
Bai Ge put down the cup in embarrassment, she didn't know much about the diet of the infected.
“…… Until it recovers, it probably won't act rashly. Yi Chen wiped his mouth and said. The Creeper is also a big boss, and the big boss will cherish his life more than the average minions. He was aware of it when he dealt with the Bobcat boss, and that thing was very cunning, and when he sensed danger, he ran away, and he didn't love fighting.
"I hope so. I guess it's very likely that the top management of the group will ask you to participate in dealing with it in the future, after all, you have experience and strength. Get well as soon as possible. Bai Ge said.
Yi Chen closed his eyes tiredly and lay down again. Indeed, now he can't do anything with such a body, whether it's looking for family, helping friends, or destroying monsters, he can't do anything, it's useless to be anxious.
He fell asleep and woke up to find that there were only Ling Lan and a strange man in the ward, Bai Ge and Liang Bing had disappeared.
The man looked to be about the same age as Ling Lan, and his facial features were three-dimensional like a knife, like a half-blood.
He had a very distinctive beard, and his hair was clearly well-groomed and combed back of his head. He wore a neat and clean English pinstripe shirt, which not only showed a rigorous style, but also showed a near-perfect figure just right.
"This man must be a doctor, right?" Yi Chen thought.
"Yi Chen, this is Mr. Ouyang Hong, a genius physician at the headquarters of the future pharmaceutical company." Ling Lan introduced.
"Hello." Ouyang Hong took the initiative to shake hands with Yi Chen, and did not slack off because the other party was a teenager. He gestured with the graceful gentlemanly demeanor of an English aristocracy.
"Yi Chen, Mr. Ouyang and I have recently started working together to study creeper species and ...... A sample of your blood. Ling Lan was not very natural when she said this, she had told Yi Chen that she would secretly study his blood sample and not let others know, but now she broke her promise for various reasons.
"To be honest, I've always wanted to meet you in person. When I saw that the case book said that the infected person was a silver-haired teenager, I thought it was going to be a very interesting meeting. Ouyang Hong said politely, he raised the somewhat worn case book in his hand, which was the one where Ling Lan recorded Yi Chen's comprehensive information in Xinhua Hospital.
Yi Chen listened quietly, not showing any emotion.
