"Someone from the research institute came to report just now that it was a mourning... Lou Chen woke up."
Bang bang.
You stood up too fast, and the chair behind Chi Xin was overturned by her tremendous strength.
Facing the eyes of everyone who looked over, she forced the corners of her mouth to twitch: "I don't mean everyone, let's chat first, I'll go take a look."
"I'll go with you." Xiao Li also stood up.
"No, we have to discuss issues such as how to deploy troops later, it's not convenient for you to leave." Chi Xin said warmly, "I'll go over to see the situation first, and then go to rest after talking. It's been almost two days."
Xiao Li opened his mouth and nodded in the face of Chi Xin's powerful eyes.
"The awakening of the zombie king is a major event. Miss Chi will go first." Fan Fu said, "Everything has been heard recently, and the zombie king is no exception."
Fan Fu is really good at talking, although the news he said may not be the same as what Chi Xin expected, she still smiled and thanked the other party.
Under Qiu Zhu's reluctant gaze, Chi Xin walked out of the conference room.
Ah Qing respectfully asked, "Miss Chi, do I need to prepare a car for you?"
"No need, thank you." Chi Xin said, and then murmured vaguely, "The road in the city is faster than driving by myself."
When Ah Qing heard this, a subtle look appeared on his face, and then he became even more awe-inspiring.
He watched helplessly as Chi Xin escaped from a skateboard out of thin air, and his figure quickly disappeared into the dim morning light.
Chi Xin rushed to the research institute and habitually glanced under the willow tree where she often sat, and this glance made her see an acquaintance.
Chi Xin hesitated for a while, then reached out to pick up the skateboard and walked over there.
After not seeing him for a few days, Jing Xiu's face looked pale. Obviously, he hadn't slept in the past few days. Chi Xin made a simple judgment, and he couldn't help but sigh at one more glance. As expected of the male protagonist, when the mental state is not good, it will only give people a more pressing sense of purity, and there is no embarrassment of ordinary people.
Jing Xiu seemed to be at the pool core, and when he saw the pool core coming, he stood up to meet him.
"I heard that Lou Chen woke up, is it true?" Chi Xin asked immediately.
Before the joyful smile in Jing Xiu's eyes could unfold, he was forced back by this question, and he nodded lightly, "I have experienced a wave of consciousness, but it is not very accurate to say that waking up, he can't answer the question now. The outside world reacts.”
Chi Xin frowned: "What is this waking up... Can I go take a look?"
"Of course."
Following Jing Xiu into the research institute, Professor Jing, Sai Ruo, and Albert all gathered around a laboratory converted into a ward, discussing something in a low voice through a huge glass.
Seeing Chi Xin coming over, several people looked surprised.
Chi Xin responded simply, and the whole person was about to lie on the glass, looking at the thin and beautiful boy inside: "Can people go in now?"
"Wear a protective suit before entering." Professor Jing said, "At present, we can't judge how the virus on him will spread. It's always right to be careful."
Of course Chi Xin would not cause any trouble for everyone. She obediently allowed Sai Ruo to assemble a protective suit on her, and asked in a low voice, "Dr. Sai Ruo, is Lou Chen all right?"
Sai Ruo paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Seriously, we can't be sure if he is okay now, all his data has been with Raphael for so many years, and in just a few days, he has to be quarantined. We have not made much progress in research. At present, we can only judge that there is a strong will in his mind, and we are not sure what this will is about."
"Will?" Chi Xin pondered, "Does it mean that he has some kind of desire/desire to do something?"
"But that's what you say." Sai Ruo put the headgear on Chi Xin and looked into her eyes through the blindfold, "I heard from Jing that you are the closest person to Lou Chen, this time you can come here. I'm very happy that you can wake him up once, maybe a second time."
Chi Xin knew that she was talking about waking Lou Chen out of Raphael's mental power when she was outside the city wall, and her eyes flashed: "If it is possible, this is what I hope."
"Come on." Sai Ruo patted her shoulder.
Through a special passage, Chi Xin successfully entered Lou Chen's ward.
After entering, Lou Chen's appearance was much more realistic than when he was separated from the glass, and Chi Xin could clearly see the protruding blood vessels on his green skin.
He lay there quietly, only the faint waves on the surrounding instruments suggested that this might be a living person.
Chi Xin's throat suddenly became sour.
"Can I touch him?"
Chi Xin tilted her head to look outside the glass, her voice was transmitted to the outside through the sound transmission system, and at the same time she sent Jing Xiu's answer.
"Yes."
Chi Xin turned his eyes back, sat down beside the bed, and gently held Lou Chen's hand through the protective suit.
The wrist bones are tense and thin, but Chi Xin subconsciously noticed that the touch was a bit wrong.
"His skin is for unknown reasons, and any operation, including blood collection, failed to leave scars on it." Jing Xiu said, "After the needle was inserted, it was like entering the void, and nothing could be extracted. , and there is no blood stains after the smack."
Even the blood collection could not be achieved, no wonder it has been so many days, even Professor Jing and the others are helpless.
Chi Xin's eyes sank, looked at Lou Chenqing's face, and sighed softly, "Lou Chen, what's the matter with you."
After she finished saying these words, the people outside who were watching their every move intently suddenly straightened up.
In their astonished gazes like Chi Xin, the hand held by Chi Xin actually shrank, and then Lou Chen's eyes opened a small gap.
"Lou Chen?"
Chi Xin was surprised and delighted, calling his name while approaching his face.
At Chi Xin's call, Lou Chen's pupils trembled, and the data on the machine on the side showing his brain activity suddenly pulled up a bit.
"He has responded!"
Sai Ruo's voice was full of surprise, she grabbed Albert and was about to turn around to put on protective clothing, but was stopped by Jing Xiu.
"One." Jing Xiu stared at the two people in the ward, "Don't disturb them yet."
"Lou Chen, are you awake? Are you conscious?" Chi Xin's voice trembled with excitement, she approached Lou Chen, not letting go of any breath he exhaled, "Lou Chen, here I am. "
Lou Chen's lips twitched a few times, Chi Xin wanted to take off the protective suit, but reason stopped her, she just turned her ear and almost pressed it in front of his lips.
"Pool...core...pool...core..."
The core heard clearly.
Lou Chen responded to her, and he was also reciting her name, over and over again.
"I'm here." Chi Xin replied softly, "You have an incomparably powerful will, Lou Chen, you are invincible in the spiritual realm, if you work hard, you will be able to wake up."
"Pool... Core..."
Lou Chen was still reciting the name, his pupils were distracted and struggling.
As if he was drowned in the endless darkness, only the deepest thoughts in his heart could keep him from being completely swallowed up.
Chi Xin held his hand tightly: "Can you hear my voice? I'm right here, you've done a great job, try one last time, and you'll be fine."
However, in the expectation of her and the outsiders, Lou Chen still failed to open his eyes.
After calling Chi Xin's name for a while, he seemed extremely tired, his opened eyes slowly closed again, and the ripples on the machine beside him calmed down again.
The hope in Chi Xin's eyes also dimmed little by little.
After watching Lou Chen for a few more seconds, he was sure that he would not have any more response, and Chi Xin would not delay any longer, and then walked into that special passage.
After layers of disinfection, she took off her protective clothing and stood in front of several people.
"You all saw it." Chi Xin said, "I can't wake him up either, we need to find another way."
"My son, this has exceeded our expectations." Professor Jing said gently, "We have taken so many days to make his brain waves wave a little bit, and you have him open as soon as you come. eyes."
"It's a pity that he couldn't wake up completely." Chi Xin said in a low voice.
"We will continue to study, on the premise of not hurting him as much as possible." Jing Xiu said, a worry flashed in his eyes, "But the present time is the most precious resource, if it really doesn't work..."
Chi Xin stroked the outline of Lou Chen's face through the glass, and was silent in response to Jing Xiu's words.
She didn't make a statement, and the others didn't say much. Only Professor Jing sighed and his tone became serious.
"Son, all the way forward, it is impossible without sacrifices and sacrifices. If we can only go to the last step, we will take some extraordinary measures." Professor Jing turned his eyes away and did not look at Chi Xin, "If you are lying in it now It's repairs, or myself, and I'll make that decision as well."
"He can do it." Chi Xin raised his eyes, "If he can't do it himself, I'll find someone who can help him."
"Who can help him?" Professor Jing wondered.
Jing Xiu looked startled: "You mean...?"
Chi Xin nodded lightly: "I want to contact other bases, what is the fastest way to transmit information?"
Jing Xiu said that each base has its own means of contact, as long as you find Yu Shizhao.
Chi Xin rejected his suggestion to go with him, and turned to look at Lou Chen: "I need you more here."
Jing Xiu was silent for a moment, then agreed.
Chi Xin looked at his drooping eyelids, and there was a faint shadow on the snow-like skin, showing some unusual fragility.
Her brain was hot, and she suddenly reached out and held his.
Jing Xiu: ? !
Against his astonished gaze, Chi Xin tried his best to look at his eyes with the same embarrassment as he was teasing a good family woman.
"It's been hard work for you, let's persevere for the last time, huh?"
Jing Xiu looked at her, the light in his eyes condensed little by little.
"," he said.
Chi Xin finally glanced at Lou Chen again, then turned and left the institute.
Jing Xiu stood there and looked at her back until he was slapped by his father.
"Go on, hard-working people." Professor Jing said, "Didn't you promise people to persevere?"
When Chi Xin returned to the building, he was meeting Yu Xiang, who came to report on his work. He saw Chi Xin's skateboard eyes lit up, and just as he was about to pester her, she grabbed her arm and dragged him into the elevator.
Seeing her condensed expression, Yu Xiang didn't dare to speak anymore, followed her carefully, and pushed open the elevator door for her.
At this time, the sky was bright, and the rising sun broke through the clouds of the night and fell on the earth again, like a bright hope.
The pool core stopped in front of a window and looked up for a while.
Yu Xiang looked at the sky and looked at her again, and poked her tremblingly: "Sister Chi, aren't you in a hurry to leave?"
"Yu Xiang, this world is actually very ugly." Chi Xin smiled suddenly, "I really want to see it return to normal."
Yu Xiang was confused.
Chi Xin didn't explain much, and went back to the conference room. As expected, several people hadn't finished the meeting. Seeing her coming back, they all stood up and wanted to inquire about the situation.
"Lou Chen hasn't fully regained consciousness. Professor Jing and the others are limited in what they can do. I thought of another method." Chi Xin confronted Yu Shizhao, "Brother Yu, I need your method of contacting other bases, not the one called summoning orders. It's a way to hear each other's replies by coming and going."
Yu Shizhao didn't hesitate: "I see, in this way, everyone will go to rest today, and I will take Miss Chi to solve the matter here."
Everyone expressed their understanding, Chi Xin followed Yu Shizhao, followed by Yu Xiang who was odd, and the three came to the office together.
After connecting to the contactor, Chi Xin said in a deep voice, "Warden Huo, long time no see."
…
Chi Xin had been on the phone for a long time, and Yu Shizhao and Yu Xiang also sat with her for a long time.
The eyes of the two of them have been staring at her, watching her persuade the man with great strength who is willing to take a corner.
"Don't you want the vaccine research to be successful to cure your wife? Lou Chen is lying here now. As long as he wakes up, the vaccine research will be more than half successful. You can't tell me at this time? "
"Think about it clearly. His condition cannot be solved by ordinary medical means. You are the only one in the world who has the same mental ability as him. If you don't come here yourself, who do you expect to do for you?"
"You can choose to continue to stay in Donglubao for the rest of your life. The world is occupied by zombies, and Raphael has destroyed the hope of mankind. There will be no second Lou Chen, no second scene. The professor is here to help you research the vaccine, Holley."
When Chi Xin finished the game, the other party seemed to fall into a long silence, and then did not know what to say, Chi Xin's sharp eyebrows suddenly showed a smile.
"Of course." She said, "As long as you help Lou Chen wake up, I will grant your request."
When Chi Xin hung up the contact and crossed his fingers to think about something, Yu Xiang asked curiously, "Sister Chi, what did you promise him?"
Chi Xin looked up and smiled at him: "It's nothing, it's just my personal commitment."
Yu Xiang scratched his ears and cheeks, Chi Xin smiled and said nothing.
"It's getting late, Brother Yu, you should also go to rest for a while." Chi Xin turned to Yu Shizhao and said, "I'm guarding this building and will tell you in time if anything happens."
"It's really incomparable." Yu Shizhao, with big dark circles under his eyes, said with a wry smile, "That will be hard work for Miss Chi."
In order to facilitate timely handling of affairs, Yu Shizhao and the others have prepared several lounges on the top floor, where they usually sleep.
Chi Xin secretly sighed, in this world, no one really has an easy life.
After driving Yu Xiang back to sleep, she sat on the chair in the office without sleepiness, her eyes were stunned for a moment, and she took out a menthol cigarette that she hadn't seen in a long time.
The cigarette rod was slender and held between her slender and shiny fingertips, looking out in the sunlight.
The pool core still only lit it, smelling the tobacco, gradually calming the trembling brain.
She has not had such a need for a long time, but now, the fate of the entire human race seems to be controlled by her alone, and she has no way out, no regrets, the only thing she can do is to do her best and be worthy of her conscience.
This kind of pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear. Chi Xin imagined that if she was herself in a previous life, or when she first came to this world, if someone suddenly put the whole world's ups and downs on her, she would be afraid. He was about to turn his head and run away.
Chi Xin looked at the curling smoke on her fingertips. When the ashes dripped and was about to burn to the roots, her scattered eyes gradually firmed up.
That night, Yu Shizhao arranged a seafood feast for the guests.
There are few such lively moments in the apocalypse, let alone a sumptuous seafood feast. Even the people in the research institute were invited out to participate, and the entire base rarely had a relaxing night.
Even if the future is uncertain, even if the light is flickering, people still raise their cups and pray for the freedom to come.
Except for Qiu Zhu, who has been chasing Chi Xin and wants to get her autograph, everything is beautiful.
That night, under the forcible escort of Jing Xiu, Chi Xin finally returned to the room to rest.
"You are the God of War, not the Iron Man." Jing Xiu said solemnly, "When you can live on oil, you won't be able to sleep."
Chi Xin couldn't help laughing: "If you get an iron man out, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight yet."
"You can't fight without you, after all, you won't rust." Jing Xiu said.
Chi Xin threw a pillow over, and Jing Xiu closed the door for her.
Chi Xin was stunned for a while in the quiet environment, got up, took a shower, and then lay down on the bed.
Habitually, she silently said "Lou Chen" and closed her eyes.
This time, Lou Chen gave her a response.
When he realized that the whole room was quiet, Chi Xin immediately opened his eyes.
A warm breeze came in from the window, and the curtains swayed slenderly. Following the feeling, Chi Xin saw at a glance sitting by her bed with her head lowered, just like she was doing it in front of Lou Chen's bed. juvenile.
The pool core sat up with a "shock".
She couldn't be more excited: "Lou Chen? Is that you?"
The young man raised his eyes timidly, then lowered his head quickly.
At this glance, Chi Xin was determined, this is Lou Chen.
The heart hanging in his heart suddenly fell back, Chi Xin smiled, and reached out to rub Lou Chen's head: " Boy, this will make me worry to death."
Lou Chen obediently let her rub it, with subtle expectations in his voice: "are you really... so worried about me?"
"Can I not be worried? No one is there. When you find out again, you are still being controlled by Raphael, and you don't know if your consciousness is still alive." Chi Xin pretended to be angry, " God, did you hear my voice? Wake up quickly, or see how I deal with you."
She didn't speak in a very tone of voice, and Lou Chen didn't talk back like he did before. He raised his head to look at Chi Xin, his beautiful eyes filled with stars like waves.
"You've never been so excited about my coming," he said softly.
Chi Xinxin said that you usually make trouble when you come here, so can I be happy? But it doesn't make sense to say that now.
Looking at Lou Chen's expectant gaze, she was serious and looked into his eyes seriously: "Lou Chen, I'm very happy to see you again."
Then Chi Xin saw that in Lou Chen's eyes, it was as if a piece of warm stuff had melted, making his entire eyes soft and sparkling.
He smiled calmly like never before, a small dimple appeared on his cheek.
"I've been unconscious for a long time, and during this time, I seem to have done a lot of bad things." He said with some trepidation, "But that's not what I want."
"I know." Chi Xin reassured him, "I know you were threatened by Raphael, don't listen to him after that, don't listen to anything."
"But he threatened me with you." Lou Chen's face darkened, as if he remembered something horrible, "He said that if I don't obey, you will end up like me, which can't be..."
"Only if you compromise with him, will I end up like that." Chi Xin said, "When you are also on my side, do you think he still has the ability to threaten me? I am not afraid of him, Lou Chen, don't be afraid, your power is far stronger than his."
"I, I'm afraid..." Lou Chen started shaking, "I've become like this, Chi Xin, you're different from me, you know what beauty should be like, but I don't Knowing that every time I try to change something, I do the wrong thing, and this time too…”
In his dark eyes, a drop of crystal water dripped down.
It's just that he didn't even cry, this tear was more like the sadness in his heart.
"Shh, shh."
Chi Xin gently hugged him and pressed his face against his neck.
"It's never too late to start changing. You've woken up now, escaped, and are no longer under his control." Chi Xin patted him on the back with a gentle tone, "Let's kill him together, There is nothing in this world that can make you afraid again."
I don't know why, the more Chi Xin shot, the more Lou Chen trembled.
She only thought that Raphael had left a deep shadow on him, and she was more patiently reassuring him.
After a long while, Lou Chen's trembling gradually stopped. He buried himself in Chi Xin's neck and rubbed it attached: "Chi Xin, you want me to come back, right?"
"Of course." Chi Xin said firmly, "otherwise, what are you doing for me these days."
"As long as it's me, will you be happy when you come back?"
It was a bit strange to ask this question, Chi Xin hesitated for a moment, because his mental state was not stable, he answered him equally firmly: "If you can climb down from the hospital bed and stand in front of me tomorrow, I will be very happy. excited."
Lou Chen went quiet, and there was a very heavy light in his eyes where Chi Xin didn't see it.
After a while, Lou Chen raised his body and saw Chi Xin's eyes curved into crescent moons: "My mental strength is still unstable, and I can't control the dream for too long, so I'll go back first, remember to come tomorrow. Look at me."
"Then when will you wake up?"
Before Chi Xin finished speaking, the teenager in front of her gave her a deep look, and disappeared into a plume of smoke.
Chi Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked the air again: "You mean, when will you wake up?"
Of course no one will answer her again.
Chi Xin fell asleep angrily.
The next day came soon, Chi Xin jumped out of bed, and was about to run to the research institute to see if he could see Lou Chen standing up, but he was stunned as soon as he opened the room. Xiang caught a straight.
"Come and see who's here!" He looked excited.
"!" Chi Xin held him back, "Is there any news from the institute?"
"Research Institute?" Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment, "I just came from the administrative building, there is nothing quiet there."
There was a hint of disappointment in Chi Xin's eyes.
If Lou Chen really woke up, it would be impossible for such a big thing to be without waves.
She calmed down and asked, "Then why are you so excited? Has anyone you met come over?"
"You'll know when you come with me and have a look." Yu Xiang became excited again.
Chi Xin had no choice but to get into the car that Yu Xiang drove, and the two of them drove all the way to the bottom of the city wall.
"It doesn't seem to have come in yet." Yu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm so anxious that I want you to see them first."
In the strangeness of Chi Xin, the gate was slowly opened, and a long line of motorcades drove in. The one who jumped down first was a young man with a delicate face and long blue-black hair.
