The nurse changed Zi Yang's medicine, and after recording the data, she glanced at Su Rui: "It's almost done. The patient has just regained consciousness and needs to be recuperated." After speaking, she walked out and closed the door gently.
"You, are you okay?" After a short silence, Su Rui asked Zi Yang in a low voice.
Zi Yang replied earnestly, "Well, I can't die. I sneaked on my body just now, and the parts are still alive."
Su Rui was amused by Zi Yang and sneered, "You guy, you seem to be very serious at first, the more you get in touch, the less serious."
Zi Yang said obscenely: "You haven't seen me being more serious yet!"
Su Rui blushed and did not continue to pick up his stubble. He lowered his head for a moment and took out a watch—a Shanghai brand mechanical old watch—from the package.
"On this expedition, all our instruments, equipment, and data were lost. Novo, this is your watch, the only thing we can bring out."
Zi Yang took the watch, and he understood the significance of Su Rui's move—he didn't take so many valuable instruments and precious materials, but he took this worthless old watch on him. It shows that Su Rui attaches great importance to this watch.
Zi Yang looked at her very gratefully, grunted in his throat but said nothing.
Su Rui sat down on the edge of the bed, her long white neck looming under the cover of her hair, Zi Yang felt an impulse in her heart, and suddenly wanted to kiss. But I dare not.
Su Rui raised her head to look at him, Zi Yang plucked up the courage to touch her white and slender hand, but he hesitated slowly under her holy gaze.
It's a pity that the two have had blind dates so many times in the cave, but they didn't have time to fully appreciate the feeling of love between the children.
In the dangers, holding hands between the two seems to have become a habit. Now I finally don't have to run around to escape, but it's so difficult to pull it off.
Seeing Zi Yang stunned, Su Rui didn't realize that he was undergoing a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, and thought he had traumatic sequelae. He smiled and said: "I heard that Brother Xiaosha said that they have made a major discovery in the Loulan site, a wood chip with inscriptions. Our joint scientific expedition finally achieved something.
Zi Yang, who was fighting between heaven and man in his mind, suddenly came back to his senses.
The scientific expedition was not low-level from the beginning, which not only consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, but also shocked the senior leaders of China and the United States. Accumulatively, one helicopter has crashed, more than a dozen camels have been destroyed, James has been injured, Alexander's life is mostly, Zi Yang's life is little, and various cutting-edge instruments and equipment have been lost.
The final result is: half of the fragments of the Mediterranean hand, and hundreds of selfies in various poses and combinations.
Obviously the action was a failure, no, it should be said to be a fiasco.
Their discovery in the Mediterranean has prevented the scientific expedition team from returning empty-handed.
Zi Yang didn't have the energy to pay attention to whether the so-called "major discovery" fragment was worthless or invaluable. Anyway, the Mediterranean would brag and would find the most reasonable way to claim credit.
He just didn't quite understand why Su Rui would mention this at this time. If they found out, the giant creatures they encountered in the desert, the alien relics they encountered in the cave, any of them were taken out. All are enough to shock the world.
The next words of Su Rui made him return to the icy reality from the romantic fantasy of love.
"I thought about it. During this expedition, someone might come for questioning. I think we only need to explain what happened to the sandstorm, and skip the other irrelevant. What do you think?" Su Rui lowered his head lightly. Said softly.
"I have communicated with everyone else, Timur and Lao Wang agree very much, but I think you still have to ask for your consent."
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui's eyes, "This is the real purpose for you to come to see me, right?" The words rushed to his lips, after all, he could not say anything.
Su Rui did not face his eyes, looked out the window and said: "This is the best choice for you, for me, for Alexander and the whole team. I think you should understand."
Zi Yang nodded, "I understand. But what about James? After all, a big living..."
"The GPS instrument failed. We lost our way in the desert. James was lost in the first desert storm. Dr. Alexander was blown up by a tornado and fell from a high altitude to serious injuries. All other instruments and equipment were also in the storm. Lost."
Su Rui looked at him directly, and slowly finished the above words one by one.
Obviously, this is a set of rhetoric that has already been prepared.
Seeing Zi Yang's silent eyes, Su Rui turned his head and looked out the window.
"After our crash, the storm continued for a day and a night. When you were in a coma, the army organized several large-scale searches, but nothing was found. This dust storm is unprecedented. The geological features of the central area of Lop Nur are almost tens of kilometers. It's completely changed."
Obviously, Arclight did it thoroughly, leaving no "evidence".
Su Rui paused and said: "Fortunately, our team is the only organization operating in this area. Apart from us, there are no other losses or casualties."
"Alexander is still under close supervision, relying on equipment to maintain his life. His injuries are too serious. Looking at it now, it is likely that he will remain in this coma in the future."
"I'll also explain to Timur. I will give him a sum of money to compensate for the camels more than enough."
Zi Yang nodded, thoughtful and impeccable. In the past few days when he was in a coma, Su Rui must have arranged things properly.
Lao Wang, they have at most some information about unknown creatures. The only people who really knew the secrets of the alien ruins were Alexander, Su Rui, and himself.
As long as you "do not say", then this expedition is an ordinary accident. It is easy to explain both internally and externally. With the ability of Su Rui and the organization behind her, she can handle the aftermath.
Zi Yang felt faintly in his heart that the estrangement between Su Rui and Su Rui gradually became clear.
There was nothing to say at this time. He was playing with his watch boringly, and suddenly found something strange, "Hey, has anyone touched my watch?"
"No, after coming out of the hole, I have been sitting next to my body. No one has ever moved. Why, is it inaccurate?" Su Rui leaned over to look.
Zi Yang looked at the electronic clock on the wall, pointed to the pointer of the watch and said, "Weird, how come it's almost two hours? This watch keeps running very fast. When I go down, I deliberately After proofreading the time, it's full of strings."
At this time, a thought flashed in Zi Yang's mind. After being rescued from nothingness by Su Rui, she seemed to say something, "You only go down for a few minutes..." At that time, Zi Yang only wanted to escape and didn't take this into consideration. The meaning of the sentence.
Now think about it, this sentence is not trivial!
He communicated with Arclight for at least two hours!
Zi Yang recalled that when he went out of the cave, he also observed the instrument on the diving suit. It was true that there was only a ten-minute difference between the two periods. He did not pay attention at that time. He thought that the instrument was affected by the magnetic field. .
But now it seems that the time recorded by the diving suit and Su Rui's "real time" can correspond.
The mechanical watch is always worn on my hand, falling into the abyss with myself. It was only when changing clothes in the tunnel that they were handed over to Su Rui, and she brought them in a sealed bag.
The mechanical watch is not disturbed by magnetic fields, so it means that the time it records is accurate—that is, it has disappeared in the abyss for more than two hours.
In these two hours, I disappeared with time.
Zi Yang wanted to ask Su Rui how she "rescued" herself and Alexander from the abyss.
Su Rui also wanted to ask Zi Yang what he and Alexander experienced in the abyss.
But there seemed to be a strange breath in the air, and both of them were silent. I know in my heart that there are some things I can't ask.
There are some things that cannot be said.
