Strange ceilings.

Tang Xue lay on the hospital bed and looked up at the white ceiling lamp hanging on the ceiling.

Next to the bed is a round window, through which you can look out at the sea, and the sun is about to set, and the light of the setting sun reflects the orange waves on the undulating sea.

The sound of the waves echoed in my ears, and everything seemed so peaceful.

This is the mothership's infirmary, to which her residence has been transferred since the earthquake on shore.

Although there are four beds, she is actually the only one who lives there.

This room has a lot less light than the one on the shore.

If you don't turn on the lights, it's dim all day, and staying in this room can be very depressing.

The room is not airtight, although there are windows, but the windows are welded, or strong tempered glass, which cannot be opened at all, let alone breathable.

Ventilation relies on special ventilation ducts, three meals a day are delivered, quite abundant, there is milk, bread and meat, although there are no fresh vegetables and fruits, but basically the nutrition that should be there, can be supplemented.

It's almost meaningless in taste, the bread is whole wheat bread, it's hard to chew, the milk is mixed with buffalo milk, there's nothing to say, the meat is canned, and it's served in the microwave.

Of course, it's not that Tang Xue doesn't like the food here, it's very good to have food to eat, these foods, even in peacetime, can be regarded as "hearty".

There are only a very small number of people around the world who have access to bread and milk every day.

There was a time when her food was much worse than that, and she shouldn't have complained.

It stands to reason that she shouldn't complain, but she just doesn't like it.

I don't like the bread, I don't like the milk, I don't like the room and the scenery.

Some people say that when a person arrives in a new environment, no matter how different it is from your previous environment, she can adapt to it in 14 days at most, but she has been here for far more than 14 days, and she still feels uncomfortable.

She didn't think there was anything good here, the bed was narrow and small, the sheets were white, the quilt cover was white, and the pillows were white.

Obviously, she lives alone, and she has to put four beds, and when she turns off the lights and sleeps at night, she always feels as if there is something lying on those beds, and listening to the sound of the waves rolling outside the window makes people feel cold in their backs.

At sunrise, you can't even see the sun when you sit up.

This room was not good at all, she felt that it was like an iron cage that locked her up.

She hated the feeling and wanted to get out of the cage and go somewhere else.

It was night again, and she felt very irritable, so she moved her ass to the side of the bed and waved to the bottom of the bed.

Xiaobai leaned over, stretched out his tongue and licked her palm.

The little one looked listless and had been sleeping in the corner before.

It whined twice, and in the dog bowl next to the bed, half of the dog food was left, and the water in the other bowl was barely touched.

It wasn't like this before, it used to like to eat the most, no matter how much it poured, it would never have any dog food left in the bowl, it must have licked it cleanly.

Maybe it's because the amount of exercise has become less, after coming here, no one takes it to play, no one takes it to throw frisbees, takes it outside to have fun, and the excess physical strength can't be consumed, so naturally there is no appetite.

Tang Xue bent down and grabbed Xiaobai's front legs to pick him up, hugged him on the bed, let him lie on the quilt, and looked at his dark eyes.

"Don't you like it here?"

She stroked the little one's head, rubbed its ears, and took it into her arms.

Xiaobai screamed, as if to promise her.

The door suddenly opened, and a woman in a white lab coat walked into the room, followed by another woman who was slightly younger than her.

Tang Xue habitually observed her, she looked very bad, much worse than before, her hair was messy, she hadn't washed it for a while, and she hadn't taken care of it.

Her lips are white, her eyelids are drooping, she has dark circles, and her mouth is dry and cracked, indicating that she doesn't even have many opportunities to drink water, and it seems that she has been busy lately, and she is very tired, maybe she has stayed up all night.

After that night, Tang Xue was sent to this ward and never saw her.

She was so tired, and she had to come over, obviously she wasn't here to chat with Tang Xue, there must be something important.

"What's the matter with me, Dr. Sue?" Tang Xue pinched Xiaobai's ears.

"We may be going to drop a hydrogen bomb on the city."

"Hydrogen bomb?" Tang Xue was taken aback: "Has things become so dangerous?" ”

"The mother body has hatched in advance and is moving towards the base, I am going to the meeting soon to decide whether to drop a hydrogen bomb, you should know the power of this weapon, once the decision is passed, the entire state and mountain city will be turned into ruins, the death radius of the hydrogen bomb explosion can reach more than ten kilometers, and the center of the range will be vaporized instantly, and no living creatures will survive."

“.” Tang Xue was silent.

"If there's anything else to hide or clues, I hope you can say it, and if you say it now, maybe I can find a way to buy some time and do something."

"Can you bother your assistant to give us some personal space?" Tang Xue looked at the young woman behind her.

Dr. Su nodded, and the woman bowed and retreated to the door.

"Dr. Su, I would like to ask, what do you think is the probability that the meeting will decide to drop a hydrogen bomb?"

"More than ninety percent."

"You're trying to ask me about him?"

"If it were possible, I would very much like to meet him, we have dropped almost all the drones out to look for him, but nothing has been found so far, if the hydrogen bomb is dropped it will be too late, he will not survive the shock wave of the explosion."

"I wonder how much time you can buy at most?"

"One day, at most another day can be delayed, the command will definitely ensure that the parent body is more than 20 kilometers away from the shore, if the hydrogen bomb is detonated within 20 kilometers, the shock wave will destroy the building materials we have already transported to the shore, and we will not have time to transport tons of materials away, so I will fight for one day at most, and the hydrogen bomb will be detonated before 12 o'clock at midnight tomorrow."

"Can you give me this day?" Tang Xue looked at her.

"To you?" Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment.

"Give me a day and let me go to him."

"Are you crazy? Your leg wound is not healed yet, even if the weak infected gather inside the mother's body, there are still a small number of strong infected people wandering around the city, and even our army does not dare to carry out search operations in the city, you are sending you to death. ”

"Dr. Su, you are a unit formed to save humanity, aren't you? I voluntarily dedicate myself to the future of mankind, this is not called death, this is contributing to the future of mankind, isn't it? ”

Tang Xue looked at her with a smile, stroked Xiaobai's head, and smiled gently and brightly.
