Silicon Invasion

"He's awake! He's awake!"

Luo Rui felt like he had been asleep for a very long time, so long that when he opened his eyes, he was somewhat dazed.

"Son, son!"

"Xiao Rui!"

Hearing the familiar calls, Luo Rui shook his head, his listless eyes slowly focusing.

"Dad? Mom?"

Luo Rui's voice was full of doubt. Wasn't he supposed to be away at school? Why were his parents here?

That's right, why couldn't he remember anything after starting school?

"You scared your parents to death!"

Luo Ma hugged Luo Rui tightly, but the nurse quickly stopped her, as the patient had been lying down for so long and couldn't withstand such excitement so soon after waking up.

At the nurse's urging, the excited parents finally calmed down and cooperatively left the ward. Immediately afterward, a large group of doctors in white coats rushed in.

"Strange, strange."

"Indeed, this is the first time I've encountered something like this."

Looking at Luo Rui, the doctors marveled while examining him and asking questions.

"Do you remember your name?" A doctor, holding a small flashlight, checked Luo Rui's pupils. After finding nothing wrong, he tucked the flashlight into his chest pocket.

Luo Rui nodded. Actually, he was only a little dazed when he first woke up. Now, his rusty brain had restarted, and he remembered everything that had happened before.

So, he couldn't remember anything after going to school because he hadn't even had time to enroll!

The plane encountered a silicon-based beast attack halfway, made an emergency landing, and then he went offline from there. He had just come back online, with a missing chunk of memory in between. He must have been in a coma during that time.

And now he saw his parents, and judging by the expressions and words of these doctors, he must have been unconscious for quite a while, and there might even be other changes, otherwise these doctors wouldn't keep saying "strange."

He felt a little tired just then, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

"He was actually able to wake up on his own. It's truly amazing."

"Expected."

"Indeed, once the rejection of those type O blood cells ended, he recovered very quickly."

"To be precise, it wasn't that the rejection ended, but that the type O blood cells were defeated and then absorbed as nutrients."

"That's the amazing thing. We still haven't discovered how they were broken down into absorbable nutrients. Our bodies don't have cells responsible for this function."

"Perhaps it's unique to this patient's rare blood type. It's a pity his body is still too weak, otherwise I'd really like to draw more blood for research."

"Perhaps we can wait until he recovers and then have him sign an agreement. I can apply for a recommendation for him to continue his studies as a graduate student."

"Haha, you're too stingy. I heard he's a student at North Mountain Academy. Graduate studies? You'd be lucky to even get him for a direct doctorate."

"How would you know if you don't try?"

"Exactly, it's up to the individual."

"What? Old Wang, you want to get in on this too?"

"Haha, I wasn't planning to, but I have to thank you for giving me the idea."

"Get lost!"

"Haha…"

Luo Rui didn't spend too long before waking up again. Luo Ma had already prepared thin porridge, and the two teachers had also arrived at the ward.

Their injuries weren't too serious. After some simple treatment and recuperation, and after answering some questions, they were discharged from the hospital. However, since Luo Rui hadn't woken up, they naturally didn't leave.

When Luo Rui was sent to the hospital, the wound on his leg was relatively easy to treat, but too much type O blood had been transfused into his body.

Type O blood was originally a universal blood type that could be matched with many blood types, but Luo Rui's body had an extremely severe rejection reaction. The situation was very bad. Luo Ba and Luo Ma even received a critical condition notice for Luo Rui on the way, and Luo Ma fainted on the spot.

The two elders had really had a hard time. They had finally convinced themselves to agree to Luo Rui taking the path of a mech pilot, and they originally thought it would be many years before they would have to worry about Luo Rui's safety.

Unexpectedly, Luo Rui had only left a few hours ago when they received a notice saying that they needed to check his blood. The person who notified them couldn't explain the specific situation, only saying that something seemed to have happened to Luo Rui.

At the time, the two elders thought they had encountered scammers and even joked at home about how efficient scammers were these days. As soon as the child left, the fraudulent phone call came immediately.

It wasn't until the ambulance arrived at their door that the two elders realized something was wrong. At the hospital, they met several relatives, some of whom they hadn't seen in a long time. Everyone was confused, only saying that they had been notified to come for a physical examination, but they weren't told the reason. They had no choice but to come, as the ambulance drove directly to their door to pick them up.

Although the two elders knew something was up, they didn't make a fuss. After a series of events, they hadn't even had time to catch their breath when they were taken away by the ambulance.

After rushing hundreds of kilometers, they finally arrived at the hospital. Without even resting, they requested to see Luo Rui.

This was human nature, and no one would make things difficult for them. As a result, what the two elders saw was Luo Rui, pale-faced, lying motionless on the bed.

Hanging densely on the nearby stand were countless bags, and four tubes were stuck into Luo Rui's body. There were also many other messy instruments that they couldn't name, but they looked very high-end.

Seeing this scene, Luo Ma fainted again.

Over the next few days, the two elders suffered greatly. They inquired with many people, and the results they received were almost the same: Luo Rui would have a hard time making it.

But for some reason, more and more doctors came to Luo Rui's ward, and Luo Rui's condition gradually stabilized and quickly recovered.

At first, the two elders thought it was the doctors who were helping, and they secretly discussed giving them a big red envelope later. If they didn't accept it, they would donate a few instruments to the hospital.

But after some probing, they discovered that the doctors were also very curious about Luo Rui's situation. Luo Rui's current recovery was entirely dependent on himself.

Next, after resolving the rejection reaction, Luo Rui's recovery speed could be described as miraculous. In just two days, he woke up.

"So, how long was I unconscious for in total?"

Luo Rui slurped his porridge. The porridge was too thin. Although he had been given glucose water and various nutrients these past few days, his stomach hadn't actually eaten anything.

For the past two months, his stomach had been receiving dozens of pounds of food every day. When had it ever suffered like this? It had long protested to Luo Rui. As a result, the first meal he had was watery porridge. Luo Rui wanted to eat something better, but Luo Ma refused on the grounds that the doctor had instructed him to only eat liquid food to adapt after waking up.

Seeing Luo Ma with several strands of white hair after these few days, Luo Rui could only let his stomach suffer a little.

"Seven days!"

So long? Didn't that mean he hadn't made any progress for seven days?
