The wind carrying dust and sand passed through the dense building complex, making a low moan.
The warmth inside is in stark contrast to the cold outside.
Chief Physician of Long'an First Army.
Standing in front of the transparent glass, Lin An silently looked at the man in the ward.
It's like a sculpture, I don't know how long I've been looking at it.
Lying on the hospital bed, Chu An seemed to be sleeping steadily, but the electroencephalogram displayed on the side was as calm as the dead sea, without any waves.
"How long has this been going on."
His eyes moved back from the ward.
Lin An asked softly to the doctor beside him.
It was already the third day. From the first time he saw Chu An to now, Chu An has always looked like this.
Even if Lin An already knows the answer in his heart, even if he has tested it countless times in his own way.
But this time, Lin An was like an ordinary person and couldn't help but ask questions to the doctors in the base.
The words just fell.
The large number of doctors and directors who followed Lin An cautiously were immediately frightened and spoke respectfully with extreme caution.
"Lord Lin An."
"Your Excellency Chu An, this situation has been going on for a long time."
"Since Commander Zhang Tie sent him here, the tower has been sleeping."
"To be precise, it's dormancy. All of Chu An's body functions have been reduced to the lowest level, and brain activity has also stabilized. It seems to be due to some kind of self-repair."
"to be honest."
Without waiting for a large number of people to call it Wangjiang San, the top medical team in the province explained it euphemistically.
Lin An tilted his head slightly and interrupted the other party's euphemistic remarks with a cold voice.
He has been tested with mental and psychic powers.
Chu An's current state is not so much sleeping as sleeping.
Rather
He has no response to the outside world and is a living dead.
No.
Worse than the living dead.
There are no changes in brain waves and thought pulses, not even as good as plants.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing and heartbeating, Lin An would have even suspected that this man was dead.
You know, even flowers, plants and trees will have the most instinctive biological reactions when stimulated by electrodes.
But all the fluctuations of Chu An are 0
Lin An couldn't imagine, and didn't want to believe, that Chu An, the most "terrible" person he knew, who could calculate almost everything, and seemed to predict the future, would get himself to this point.
"Lord Lin An"
Everyone's faces instantly turned pale, and their hearts were shocked.
Seeing Lin An's expression of dissatisfaction, one of the leading deans broke into a cold sweat and had to step forward to explain.
"To be honest, this is the first time we have encountered Mr. Chu An's current situation!"
"Judging from our examination, his brain cells seem to be dead. There are a lot of unknown shadows in the MRI images."
"At present, it seems that there is a split in his body and other cerebellar structures. The respiratory system, originally controlled by the central nervous system, has become self-regulating in the body."
"It stands to reason that if there is a problem with the central nervous system, a ventilator will need to be put on the ventilator to automatically scream. We also need to use surgery to find out what the shadow is."
"It's just that this situation is so incredible that we don't dare to act rashly."
It's a bit difficult to explain.
The dean gave a wry smile, and after speaking, he hurriedly motioned to the doctor behind him to hand over the CT image and handed it over to Lin An.
It's not that he doesn't dare to say it, it's that he really doesn't know how to say it.
He has been a doctor for so many years, and even after the apocalypse, he awakened his natural healing ability.
But faced with Chu An's situation, the hundreds of experts they assembled couldn't come up with a plan.
First, Chu An's status was too high, and they did not dare to make any risky attempts.
two is
"So in a sense, he is indeed biologically dead?"
Didn't receive CT images.
Lin An looked at Chu An in the sterile ward with complicated eyes, and directly stated the conclusion that no one dared to say.
Separation of body functions and nervous system.
It's like the car's engine is no longer in the car.
The car can still run now, but it is purely due to inertia, or the remaining power is struggling to pull the car forward.
There was no need to check the image. With Lin An's mental power to scan, he could "see" at a glance. Chu An's brain tissue was like a necrotic sponge, and the patches of shadow seemed to be burnt. In many places, even
Carbonization occurs.
Lin An couldn't imagine what Chu An had gone through and how he could become like this.
But from Zhang Tie's mouth, he vaguely guessed that this might be the price for holding back the Emperor of the Alien Species.
The carbonized and burned brain made Lin An feel extremely heavy when he saw it for the first time.
The degree of carbonization is different in different regions.
This shows that Chu An got to this point because he persisted for a long, long time.
"That must be painful."
"Even though the brain doesn't know what pain is"
Lin An subconsciously covered the glass in front of him with one hand and stared blankly at Chu An on the hospital bed.
Mottled white hair, wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
Chu An, who originally seemed young to him, now looks like a dying old man.
Such a huge contrast made Lin An feel bitter.
He even felt that the person lying on the bed was not Chu An.
Not only that.
Deep down in his heart, Lin An didn't want to believe that Chu An was really "dead".
He didn't believe that this man, who was so resourceful and almost demonic, and whose plans were so terrifying that he didn't even see clearly now, would "die" so quietly.
"How did it get to this point?"
He gave a wry smile.
Lin An had thought about coming back to see Chu An countless times, and thought about the possibility countless times.
He had thought that maybe as soon as he came back, Chu An would get up from the bed with a smile on his face, then calmly lift the frame and look at him, telling him that he didn't lie to him.
Or you may lie weakly on the bed, but still look at him as if everything is under control, and congratulate him for truly creating a miracle.
Lin An even thought that as soon as he came back to see Chu An, this guy would disappear, leaving only an enigmatic letter.
The two will argue that Chu An will definitely make up a bunch of half-truths and half-false information in the name of his good to "muddle through".
For this reason, Lin An specially rehearsed thousands of hundreds of conversations with Chu An.
He must ask clearly what this man knows and the mysteries in his heart.
but
Maybe there are some things that really need to be paid for.
Maybe Chu An is a human being, not a god.
("Believe me, Lin An")
("I won't hurt you")
For some reason, Lin An always seemed to hear this sentence in his mind.
This time, this guy seemed unable to tell him personally.
