Chapter 39: Confessions in a Dream II

When you open your eyes, the sunlight shines through the leaves.

Ruan Xiyue sat up, and she finally entered the dream again.

Memories began to flood, and she remembered that the last time she had escaped from a dream was when she was taken high into the air for a moment by a masked man, and then fell and woke up.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, Ruan Xiyue cautiously looked around, and didn't see the figure of the masked man, so she was a little relieved.

Perhaps because she ran wildly for a while before she got out of the dream last time, Ruan Xiyue's throat was dry and she was very thirsty.

Vaguely discerning the direction, Ruan Xiyue walked in the opposite direction of running into the woods for more than ten minutes, and then arrived at the embankment.

After a few minutes of walking along the embankment, they found the base of the three groups of partners. When they just ran away, three groups of supplies, bows and arrows were thrown here.

Ruan Xiyue was so thirsty that she rummaged through the supplies and couldn't find drinking water.

Her attention couldn't help but be drawn to the sound of flowing water.

The river flows with greenish water, which is coming from the direction of the nuclear power plant.

"This should be the cooling water discharged from the cooling tower of the nuclear reactor." Ruan Xiyue began to ponder in her heart, "The cooling tower should not be in contact with nuclear energy...... Even if it leaks, after so many years, diluted by running water, it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, in my dreams, drinking to quench my thirst will not affect my long-term health. ”

Thinking of this, Ruan Xiyue carefully walked along the slope of the embankment to the edge of the water. She gently stretched out her right index finger and poked it in the water.

The texture of this cooling water is no different from that of drinking water.

Ruan Xiyue dipped her finger in the water and dipped a few drops of water in her mouth gently, the taste was not much different from boiled water.

was really thirsty, Ruan Xiyue simply picked up a puddle of water with both hands and put it in her mouth.

There is still a difference between a puddle of water and a drop of water, and Ruan Xiyue can clearly taste a faint smell in the water. But she was so thirsty that she swallowed it anyway.

Fortunately, the water flowed from her throat to her stomach without any radiant burning sensation, but the faint smell made Ruan Xiyue refuse the idea of taking another sip.

"This Chen Jiatong, where did he run away with a smoke?" Ruan Xiyue guarded the supplies of the three groups, and when she saw that no one had returned, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Although the sun began to set in the west, the weather was still very hot, and Ruan Xi Yueguang was sitting on the ground, her vest already soaked with sweat.

The air was so stuffy that Ruan Xiyue had to open her mouth and breathe heavily.

Ruan Xiyue realized for the first time that in the sweltering weather, it is not easy to breathe.

Ruan Xiyue listened to her rapid wheezing frequency, and she also began to get irritable: "What's wrong with me, why is it hot like this?" ”

Ruan Xiyue gasped as she looked at the shade above her head.

"That's not right! I was sitting under a tree, without sun exposure or the slightest amount of exercise, why did I have such difficulty breathing? ”

The throat was dry and unbearable, and wheezing became difficult, and Ruan Xiyue's body began to show a sub-healthy state.

"There must be something wrong with the water I just drank, oh my God, I shouldn't have any allergic reactions, right?"

Thinking of this, Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but panic, she began to realize that the rise and fall of her chest was very small, but the frequency was very fast. Every inhale is shallow, and every exhale is sharp.

"Asthma?!" Ruan Xiyue's mind suddenly swelled up with a disease she had heard of.

With a "buzz", Ruan Xiyue began to have tinnitus, and the things in front of her became blurry, and she could clearly feel that she was dizzy and had insufficient blood supply.

And she was breathing rapidly, but her chest barely rose and fell.

The fear of suffocation swept through her body, and Ruan Xiyue breathed desperately but desperately, as if her powerful mental power could help her get more oxygen.

…………

Leng Changhe opened his eyes and found Zhang Chengyuan and Chen Jiatong sitting beside him.

The memory of being bitten by the giant rat surged in his mind, and Leng Changhe couldn't help but shiver. He carefully touched his neck and found that the bite wound from his last dream had healed, and the discomfort caused by the radiation had dissipated, but the fatigue remained.

"You're finally awake!" Chen Jiatong poked the soil next to the roots of the tree with a long stick and said, "You have been out of the dream for nearly two hours!" ”

Leng Changhe sat up, saw Zhang Chengyuan's injured foot, and asked with concern: "Cheng Yuan, are you seriously injured?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan had already adapted to the pain of the wound, he pretended to be calm and said: "Don't get in the way, you come and help me, let's go back to the camp now, maybe Ruan Xiyue has already returned to the camp at this time, if you can't find everyone, you should be in a hurry." ”

Leng Changhe picked Zhang Chengyuan on his back, and the three of them walked briskly towards the place where everyone first entered the dream world.

On the way, Chen Jiatong told Leng Changhe about the mysterious person, and Leng Changhe was also very anxious when he heard it. He cared no less about Ruan Xiyue than Zhang Cheng.

Leng Changhe carried Zhang Chengyuan on his back all the way, and in an hour's time, carrying a boy who was not much lighter than himself was definitely a physical job, but Leng Changhe only rested three times halfway.

Despite his sweat, despite his sore back and legs, he was still desperately hurrying.

On Leng Changhe's back, looking at his embarrassed breathing and fast pace, Zhang Chengyuan knew in his heart that Leng Changhe was walking so fast because he was worried about Ruan Xiyue.

Chen Jiatong followed with two long sticks.

After about an hour, the three of them finally saw a pile of items piled up in front of them a hundred meters away, and a figure lying on the embankment.

When Leng Changhe realized that it was Ruan Xiyue who was lying on the embankment in front of him wheezing, he directly put Zhang Chengyuan off his back, and then ran towards Ruan Xiyue.

Zhang Chengyuan was unhappy and anxious in his heart, and he also wanted to rush to Ruan Xiyue's side as soon as possible, but the injury on his right foot was too serious, and a slight jump on one leg would lead to pain from the wound.

Chen Jiatong hurriedly put Zhang Chengyuan's hand across his neck, put it on his shoulder and helped him forward.

"Xiyue, what's wrong with you?" Leng Changhe knelt directly beside Ruan Xiyue and held Ruan Xiyue's sweaty right hand.

Ruan Xiyue sweated like rain, wheezing violently and hard, and every gasp seemed to carry great pain. Ruan Xiyue looked at Leng Changhe, her lips trembled, but she couldn't speak. Her mouth was always open, struggling to breathe.

"Ruan Xiyue, don't scare me!" Leng Changhe saw Ruan Xiyue's painful state, and his heart was indescribably uncomfortable, he saw that Ruan Xiyue was having trouble breathing, straightened his legs, lifted Ruan Xiyue's head, and leaned on his legs.

But Ruan Xiyue's pain did not lessen, her lips trembled hard, but she couldn't say what she wanted to express.

Eighty meters.

Fifty meters.

Twenty meters.

Five meters.

Two meters.

With Chen Jiatong's support, Zhang Chengyuan finally jumped to Ruan Xiyue's side on one leg. In the last two meters, he broke free from Chen Jiatong's support and fell directly beside Ruan Xiyue.

"Don't let her lie down!" Zhang Chengyuan endured the severe pain of the wound in his right foot and said loudly to Leng Changhe.

Just when Leng Changhe was surprised, Zhang Chengyuan had already moved around Ruan Xiyue, and then held her shoulders and asked her to sit up on her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Leng Changhe said to Zhang Chengyuan, his tone full of reproach.

"Don't you see that she's having trouble breathing? Breathing suffering is not to lie flat! Zhang Chengyuan argued with reason.

Ruan Xiyue leaned weakly on Zhang Chengyuan, gasping violently.

"If you feel uncomfortable, of course you have to lie down!" Leng Changhe argued.

Ruan Xiyue suddenly withdrew her right hand, which was held by Leng Changhe, and grabbed Zhang Chengyuan tightly.

Ruan Xiyue, who was soaked in sweat, leaned on Zhang Chengyuan's shoulder, how could Zhang Chengyuan not feel her pain? If it weren't for Leng Changhe on the side, he would cry out in distress.

"Shioduke! Tide Moon? How comfortable are you! Leng Changhe asked anxiously.

Ruan Xiyue turned her head slightly, still leaning on Zhang Chengyuan's shoulder, her breathing was still difficult, but it was slightly better, and she nodded lightly.

"Don't be nervous......," Zhang Chengyuan calmed down and said softly, "Relax, you can breathe." ”

Ruan Xiyue held Zhang Chengyuan's hand tighter, and she frowned tightly.

"I know you're having trouble breathing, you have to sit up straight, don't breathe so fast, take your time, try to make each inhale deeper, trust me, you can do it!" Zhang Chengyuan said softly to Ruan Xiyue.

There was more to that voice than friendship.

Ruan Xiyue looked at Zhang Chengyuan intently, as if she was trying her best to restrain her pain, allowing herself to breathe longer and deeper each time.

Gradually, gradually, her breathing slowed a little.

"How do you know this?" Leng Changhe watched Ruan Xiyue's condition improve, and his anxious heart finally relaxed. In his opinion, Ruan Xiyue's physical condition is the most important, and he doesn't care about whose method he uses to make her better.

"My dad has asthma, and he never sprays medicine when he gets sick, although he doesn't get sick often, but I've seen it twice, when he gets sick, he sits on the ground and regulates himself by breathing." Zhang Chengyuan explained.

"But how could Ruan Xiyue suddenly get sick?" Leng Changhe asked.

Ruan Xiyue was still with her mouth open at this time, and her breathing rate had slowed down significantly, but her breathing voice still sounded difficult. She shook her head, and replied to Leng Changhe.

Zhang Chengyuan looked up at the big tree by the embankment and said, "If you can lift her to the tree, the symptoms will be further alleviated." The oxygen-rich foliage and the botanical scent of the poplar tree itself are conducive to breathing. ”

Using the rope in the supply materials, Chen Jiatong and Leng Changhe made a simple rope ladder, Leng Changhe climbed to the treetops first, and then used the rope ladder to pull Ruan Xiyue up, so that Ruan Xiyue could sit against the treetops. Using Zhang Chengyuan's oral method, Leng Changhe grabbed a handful of leaves indiscriminately, kneaded them with both hands and squeezed out the juice, and smeared them on Ruan Xiyue's people.

Ruan Xiyue's condition improved further.

Leng Changhe kept grabbing the leaves and squeezing the juice.

Zhang Chengyuan could only watch anxiously under the tree.

How he wished he could personally take care of Ruan Xiyue, even for a while, even if it was in a dream.

But his foot hurt badly, so this wish was difficult to fulfill, not even in a dream.

Chen Jiatong accompanied Zhang Chengyuan under the tree, looking at his anxious expression, she seemed to understand Zhang Chengyuan's thoughts.

Ruan Xiyue's breathing tended to be calm, and everyone's heartbeat also eased.

"Xiyue, how are you?" Chen Jiatong seemed to understand Zhang Chengyuan's thoughts, raised his head and asked the tree, asking the question that Zhang Chengyuan wanted to ask but couldn't ask.

"I'm better, much better, thanks, thanks!" Ruan Xiyue still gasped a little and said, "Why haven't the two of them come back yet?" It's been so long, and if they had safely arrived at the plant to retrieve their supplies, they would have been back long ago. ”

"Changhe," Zhang Chengyuan raised his head and asked, "The wound healed when you entered the dream for the second time, what about the symptoms of radiation?" Do you think it's lightened?"

"It's really relieved, but after a long time, it reacts again," Leng Changhe said, "What's wrong?" ”

"In this case, if Wei Hengyi and Situ Shan couldn't bear the radiation failure, when they entered the dream realm for the second time, they should still be in the place where they got out of the dream realm. And re-entering the dream state will at least recover some of your physical strength. In this way, in terms of time, they should already be on their way back with supplies. Zhang Chengyuan analyzed.
