Metal objects cannot be brought into the treatment room, Xu Yiren's crutches are placed outside, and the call bell cannot be found at the head of the bed, but he is not in a hurry - it has been about 5 hours since breakfast, El Weiss should be hungry too. When he is hungry, he should remember that the patient he is in charge of is still in the treatment room, so he can take him back.

Subconsciously, Xu Yiren covered his mouth with his hands and let out a sigh of relief. He smelled his palms...but he didn't smell anything.People are often unresponsive to the peculiar smell emitted by themselves. For example, people who have eaten garlic and leeks may not be able to detect the smell of others.

He has not injected insulin for two days. Even if the blood sugar can be controlled by the so-called "marker", the metabolism of ketone bodies in the blood cannot be helped by this. I wonder if there is an acidic smell in the respiratory tract?Li Chaoyue rushed to the bed just now, how far can the two be apart recently?One meter or one and a half meters?Can you smell it?

There is no sound of a ventilator in the room, and the heating equipment should not be an air conditioner, but a wall heater or floor heater, so the air circulation will be even more difficult. Li Chaoyue might not have been smoked away by him when he walked away...

"Mr. Xu, are you still there?" Elvis finally remembered his patient, and walked in from the outside, "Let's go back to the ward, I have brought you water and lunch, and there are very delicious drink!"

Xu Yiren's trust in him is limited, so the so-called "very delicious drink" is really hard to look forward to.

Elvis turned his bracelet: "Wait for me first, every time the treatment is over, you have to record the data on your bracelet... Well, okay, I will help you up, and then we will go outside to measure Take your weight."

"Cough, cough, cough," Xu Yiren coughed twice, "I feel a little cold, can you bring me a coat, please?"

"No problem." Elvis turned around and put back the coat that Xu Yiren wore when he came from the ward, "The temperature in this room is too high, you will feel a little cold when you leave, just wear this to weigh yourself Weight it, don’t worry, it’s made of ultra-light material, so it won’t weigh you too heavily.”

Xu Yiren: "...Oh, that's great."

Elvis is not very tall, not even as tall as Xu Yiren, so it is a bit difficult to support him to walk.Xu Yiren couldn't bear to put all the weight on Elvis' body, and tried to walk on his own within the pain range that his feet could bear.

He feels that he is a bit like the "mermaid princess" in a fairy tale, paying the price of greed in order to go to a place that does not belong to him-if he had chosen to stay in the attached hospital for conservative treatment and live with insulin injections for the rest of his life, although The eyes can't see, the feet can't walk, but the other organs are not damaged to the point of being completely unusable. If the blood sugar is lowered and maintained well, the amputation will not be possible in a short time, and at least the average age can be lived. More importantly, Don't let Li Chaoyue see him like a walking dead.

"Lift up, step up, try to stand by yourself, if you can't stand still, I will support you." Elvis let go of the hand that was supporting him and recorded with a pen and paper, "Oh, it's the same as yesterday..."

"boom--"

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window, Xu Yiren could not help but turn his face in the direction of the sound, followed by two more "bang-bang--".

The sound was loud, the source of the sound was concentrated, and the sound spread far away. From Xu Yiren's experience, it was difficult for him to explain it to himself by two large objects colliding or objects falling from a height.

"Come on, get your crutches back up first." Elvis seemed accustomed to such loud noises and was completely unaffected. "Is it ready? I'm going to let it go."

Xu Yiren asked, "What's that sound?"

"Gunshots." Elvis replied calmly, "You know, there are often hungry beasts here, so some of the patrol team will be equipped with guns. Don't worry, even if they shoot, they are for Keep us safe... Well, but the two gunshots just now seem to be very close to us, like coming from the outer building, how could the beast enter the outer building?"

When Xu Yiren heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shudder behind his back, and felt a sense of luck in his misfortune, but luckily he didn't go through with it.

The gun control in foreign countries is obviously not as strict as in China, and it is in a barren place. Just thinking about it along this line of thought, there are countless ways to erase a person from here, without leaving even ashes.

"Hey, it's really noisy, are you okay?" Elvis guided Xu Yiren to walk out slowly, "Fortunately, the patient I'm taking care of is you, I don't know how those guys in the heart disease ward are doing. If they happen to be in the corridor instead of the ward, something very dangerous will happen."

"There are still volunteers with heart disease here?" Xu Yiren was taken aback, "What kind of heart disease?"

"I'm not too sure about the specific types. There should be a variety of causes." Elvis said, "Are you cold? I feel like you are shivering."

"It's not cold, thank you, it's just that the weight is concentrated on the arms." Xu Yiren asked insincerely, "It turns out that this research is not only for diabetes, but also for other diseases? How many volunteers are there in total? Can I Do you want to chat with other patients?"

"Hey, I can't say this, and I really don't know." Elvis said, "But I know that there are only three people in the diabetes ward, and they are each in charge of different doctors. The three of you have different causes, In order to prevent psychological factors from affecting the treatment, you cannot communicate with the others, if you feel bored, you can chat with me."

Xu Yiren: "..."

He had no intention of chatting with Elvis at all.

I don't know if it's because of Elvis' nonchalant analysis of the gunshot just now, but now Xu Yiren feels that his tone of voice is even weirder, with an indescribably strange feeling, which is different from any foreign teacher or international friend he has ever had contact with. The intonations are different—maybe Chinese is divided into various dialects, and English also has accents from different places. Elvis's local accent is just the one he has never been exposed to?

Xu Yiren stopped, and calmly pulled out Elvis' arm, leaning on crutches: "I want to try to walk around by myself."

"Oh! That's great! You didn't believe you could walk yesterday!" Elvis let go of his hand happily, "But next time, now that we're in your ward, please turn right. "

In this unfamiliar environment, Xu Yiren had no idea how far he had traveled and how many times he had turned.He walked over to the table and sat down, relieved by the sudden relief on his feet, and took a sip from the glass Elvis offered him.

When the taste center of the brain received the information from the taste buds, Xu Yiren almost spit out: "What is this!"

"Protein powder." Elvis took out a tissue and put it on his hand, "It's a bit cold, isn't it? You drink it slowly."

Xu Yiren is blind but not blind, and his sense of taste has not deteriorated: "I didn't mean it's cold... What kind of protein powder tastes like this?"

Elvis disapproved, with a professional and relaxed tone: "Isolate whey protein. It removes the fat and lactose that you are not suitable for consuming too much now, so that you can absorb it more easily. Didn't you still want to find some protein food last night? Combined with today's treatment, it can help you recover faster."

Xu Yiren took a deep breath: "You are right, but this is not the taste of whey protein isolate."

"Oh?" Elvis took the cup and smelled it, "Why not?"

"..." Xu Yiren searched for some intuitive adjectives, "Isn't whey protein extracted from milk? It has a fishy smell and doesn't taste like milk."

"It's minus [-] degrees here, my friend." Elvis put the cup back into Xu Yiren's hand, "Do you think such conditions are suitable for ordinary cows to survive? Of course they are products of other wild mammals. As for the fishy smell you mentioned , let me think about it...that is?..."

Xu Yiren: "Trimethylamine."

"Oh! That's right, that's the word!" Elvis suddenly realized, "It may undergo a protein-like reaction during the simple extraction process, but this is more evidence that it was made from local materials, isn't it? Don't worry. Drink it, I smelled it just now, and this smell is not enough to affect people's health. I will report your opinion to them, maybe next time there will be no such smell, um, I promise."

Xu Yiren: "..."

The blood in the whole body has been circulated by an unknown machine for nearly a circle. Xu Yiren felt that it was too late to worry about what was coming in, but he still couldn't help asking: "Has it been disinfected?"

Elvis hesitated for a moment: "Um..."

"...Don't talk about it." Xu Yiren took a drink from the cup with a feeling of restraint, "It's over. Is there anything else? Bring them all."

What the hell did Elvis do before he became a professional nurse?

It is possible that before coming to this isolated place, I worked as a health product salesperson, so when recommending food, drinks, and supplies, the explanations are always exaggerated, and they have extraordinary enthusiasm. This enthusiasm is obviously It has surpassed the scope of loving life that ordinary people can understand.

It is also possible that he is also a job that relies on tips to make money. Many service industries rely on tips as their main income, which can explain why he is so happy every time he works hard—it’s a pity that Xu Yiren is now penniless and has no money. Cash can be paid, hope their salaries and brainwashing culture has an interpretation of this part.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is the reason why Elvis is humming while working...Xu Yiren suspects that he is about to suffer from paranoia—combined with Li Chaoyue’s statement that Cheryl can see Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he remembered the farming method of listening to music to cows and chickens in order to obtain good livestock products, and Elvis is the breeder, and their bonuses and commissions are linked to this...

Xu Yiren, who was forced by Elvis to do a set of aerobics before going back to bed after lunch, thought so.

He had to admit that he didn't have the experience and potential to be a bad guy and sing "black face". I have been deeply disgusted with myself all night, and a fierce debate contest has started in my mind.

The anti-party quotes classics, such as "Hippocrates dissected the corpse with the power of public opinion, and advocated debridement and traction when the witch doctor chanted spells on the fractured patient to drive away evil spirits", "Bruno insisted on the "sun center" celestial theory", "Seythe Corvette criticized the 'Trinity'", all of them are pioneers who are not understood or even persecuted in the current world, but if there is no fantastic ideas and unimaginable bold attempts of the predecessors, how can you make science develop and how can society progress?

As the affirmative, "the self in the morning" was refuted speechless.

When Li Chaoyue came to him to talk to him, he was hesitant about which company to sign with. He had no doubts about technical problems. However, he was unwilling to give even a second of affirmation.His behavior is like a "Chinese-style" parent, pretending to encourage on the surface, relentlessly attacking when things happen, contradicting himself, and it is a mess.

someone else's company.How much money do you like to spend, what projects do you like to research, cross-border or go to heaven, even if you "burn" a lot of money to go to the moon for fun, where is it his turn to blame?On the contrary, he himself, who keeps saying that he will devote his whole life to the cause of medicine and wants to donate this to that, but now he is so expensive that he can't help but feel sad that "Ye Gong loves dragons".

Li Chaoyue can trust him, why doesn't he trust Li Chaoyue?

Maybe there is only one explanation, and heroes can cherish heroes.

Ordinary people like him, seeing new things that are beyond common sense, not only failed to present the level of appreciation in a timely manner, but instead made wild criticism and speculation.

What were Li Chaoyue, Cheryl, and Elvis thinking when they looked at him?A frog in a well?Summer insect language ice?

Xu Yiren knew that he had scolded him wrongly, but he couldn't drag on his different appearance to apologize, so he could only silently speculate whether he would have the spirit of a scholar in the dark, and never get in touch with him from now on. He couldn't help but regret that that wasn't the last side he wanted to leave him.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of a puppy pawing at the door.

"Xu—brother—" Li Chaoyue sneaked into the house again, and asked in an exaggerated voice, "Did you—sleep—?"

Xu Yiren: "..."

Li Chaoyue actually came here on his own initiative?

Xu Yiren suddenly felt that even his tolerance had been completely defeated.

They once stood on the same starting line, but he used the oldest method to lay bricks and tiles under his feet every step of the way, while Li Chaoyue went to heaven and earth at the speed of the first universe—if someone is about to complete it in this century If there is a breakthrough, why can't it be him?

Xu Yiren had already convinced himself enough, thinking a little guilty how to say a few more soft words, so that both of them could have a step down, and at the same time replied in a low voice with complicated emotions: "Yeah, I didn't sleep."——

There must be some kind of pathogen on Elvis, which has affected Li Chaoyue through the air--he just finished saying "not asleep", Li Chaoyue held him up in the same posture as Elvis and went to Drag under the bed: "Brother Xu, let's go!"

Xu Yiren's physical strength was not as good as before, and he was suddenly pulled by his arm, and he didn't know whether to ask him to let go or explain clearly when he was in a mess, he only uttered a questioning syllable "... huh?" and was dragged down.

"Brother Xu, if you don't want to be here, I'll take you back." Li Chaoyue carried a large number of ultra-light and warm jackets of different lengths and unknown colors, and put them on Xu Yiren one by one, not forgetting to avoid him carefully. "It's snowing outside, you should wear more."

Xu Yiren felt like he took the wrong book in class, didn't prepare the materials for the meeting, and found out that he was in the wrong operating room with a knife in his chest. He was a little dazed: "Go, go?...how?"

Li Chaoyue: "I got a car."

Xu Yiren quickly recovered and calmed down: "The people here, who will give you the car?"

Li Chaoyue: "Stolen."

Xu Yiren said silently, "..."

"Everything is in the car." Li Chaoyue zipped an unknown number of zippers from left to right, and then put on the hat on the back for Xu Yiren a few more layers, "I went into the house while the driver was going to the bathroom." Take the key. We don't have much time, we can't wait for you to walk slowly, I will carry you down."

... Where is the lack of time?This is simply no time.

How long can a normal person go to the toilet? 20 minutes?Come back and find that the key is gone?And the time he "preps" things?Maybe the driver has found out by now?

Xu Yiren was covered in sweat in the warm room: "You...is this reliable?"

Li Chaoyue bent his knees and carried him down the stairs against the wall, whispering so quietly that Xu Yiren didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear that their "prison escape" trip would be ruined by him, so he had to hypnotize himself: trust, trust.

After leaving the gate of the inner floor, the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly below zero. Xu Yiren was covered tightly with a quilt, but when he touched Li Chaoyue's shoulders, he felt that he was not wearing much.

No matter how ultra-light and ultra-thin the material is, it also has weight and thickness.

If two people are wearing too bloated clothes, it is really impossible for one person to carry the other down the stairs, go out, etc., but if they wear less clothes, they cannot resist the freezing weather outside.Xu Yiren asked worriedly, "Do you still have any clothes in the car?"

"I have clothes, don't worry." Li Chaoyue carefully raised his foot to close the heavy building door, and replied pantingly, "I have a detailed plan, I brought food, drink, and even toilet paper, and I also brought a lot of toilet paper. I brought you a pillow and quilt, and you can sleep under it when you're cold... Huh, here it is, that's it. Brother Xu, can you use your feet? The car is a bit high."

Xu Yiren didn't bring a cane, and supported Li Chaoyue with his hand, stepped on the ground for an interview: "That's enough. How tall?"

"It's a little bit higher. Then I'll go up first, and then pull you." Li Chaoyue asked him to hold the body to stand firm, and he climbed into the car first, and his shoes made a solid "dong dong" sound on the climbing ladder. "Come on, reach out."

Xu Yiren touched upwards along the place where his hands were supported, until he reached the highest position where his hands could reach, and he didn't even touch his head, there was not even a curved slope to close the top: "What kind of car is this?"

"Cross-country heavy trucks, you can only drive this. Ordinary cars can't go outside." Li Chaoyue took his arms and pulled them up, so that Xu Yiren could be pulled up to the last step of the climbing ladder with a little effort. , "I put back the boxes they unloaded, definitely enough for the two of us to eat and drink on the road."

The passenger seat was too tall and spacious. Xu Yiren estimated the volume of the vehicle in proportion, and drew it in his head based on common sense. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Can you drive?"

Li Chaoyue smiled contemptuously: "You said that. Men have a natural ability to understand cars, let alone me?"

He leaned over to help Xu Yiren fasten his seat belt, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll drive slowly for the first hour to get acquainted. It's okay for us to go to the Dakar Rally, so you can be the pilot for me! Oh, you Now it seems that I can't lead the voyage..."

Xu Yiren: "..."

Li Chaoyue was still fiddling with him vigorously: "Well, let me see...how does this seat belt look like this...hey, okay, it's right to be so secure!"

Xu Yiren stretched out his hand to one side, and almost couldn't reach the car door.Although I have seen trucks before, I have never sat in the cab, let alone off-road heavy trucks?However, he could feel that the entire front of the car was much wider than that of a bus or a bus.

He had to hesitate and said, "This kind of car...you must at least have an A license to drive it."

Li Chaoyue: "I do have a C license. This car is very foreign. I haven't driven a four-wheel drive before. Is it a button ignition? There is no place to insert the key... Oh, it's almost the same. If you can drive it, you will drive it, if you can see it, you will drive it."

There is nothing in the world that Li Chaoyue doesn't dare to try, Xu Yiren thinks he can't do it: "...I don't know how to do it. What if I run out of gas?"

Li Chaoyue took it for granted: "If you don't have gas, just fill it up. I have a lot of money with me."

Xu Yiren pursed her lips, not wanting to hurt him too much: "Where is the gas station?"

"There is navigation." Li Chaoyue pressed a few buttons, and the navigation device issued a Didi electronic sound, "There are global maps, high-definition, and automatic broadcast."

"..." Xu Yiren originally intended to trust him, but now he couldn't help but question: "...the cars in the fleet, if you turn on the navigation, can others locate you? Now even logistics vehicles and food delivery vehicles There are real-time positioning, will this car have it?"

"Oh... this." Li Chaoyue thought for a while, "I'll close it after a quick glance after I go out later, it's no problem, I have a photographic memory, remember it."

Trust really can't be blind...

Xu Yiren: "It's not a high-speed national highway. Even if you can remember the map, do you know where you went? It's still snowing outside at minus [-] degrees, and it's completely white, and you can't see the road at all—" said Elvis No vehicle can cross the ice alone, what if the vehicle gets stuck somewhere? Are you going to push the vehicle out of the ditch?"

"...My brother, don't worry so much about it, I dare not leave." Li Chaoyue gasped a little guilty, "Hey, no matter what kind of going out, I will never Let go of what you don't care about, can you be more down-to-earth?"

"Then let me ask you a question." Xu Yiren followed the voice and held down Li Chaoyue's arm that was fumbling for the ignition button, "Their car won't act alone like this, how do you get out of the gate?"

Li Chaoyue: "Break in."

Xu Yiren was completely defeated by his "meticulous" plan: "No, are you crazy? They have guns!"
