The blood samples collected were quickly verified, and Jing Sa and Ji Zhan were placed in the outer base.
If an evolved person is injured in the inner base, he can be sent to the hospital quickly, but in the outer base, no one will care whether you are injured or not. Even if you die, no one will pay attention until the body rots.
Jing Sa was carrying Ji Zhan on his back as he walked inside from the checkpoint. Suddenly, a convoy in front of him passed by, and Jing Sa stepped aside to the side of the road.
He looked up and saw that they were all armed teams coming out of the inner base.
"Why is there such a big battle? Has a new monster appeared?" The last time there was such a big battle was because of the flying fish monster, so everyone was worried about what happened outside.
"It doesn't seem to be the case. I heard that a new mine seems to have been discovered. They are just people mining the ore."
"That's good, that's good. If you have fire ore, you won't have to worry about not being able to survive the cold wave."
Jing Sa listened to the people next to him talking and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that Zhao Ziwei and the others have returned safely.
The cold wave has not yet passed, and the managers of the Fifth Base have distributed fire source stone bags to ordinary people to the maximum extent possible, but the base's fire source stone storage has reached its bottom.
The confirmation of the new mine this time made the entire base relieved, and the managers immediately sent a large number of people to the mine for mining, and they had to transport the fire source ore back no matter what.
After the convoy was all gone, people on the street were still discussing the mine, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
Human beings are always so easy to adapt and easy to be satisfied.
Before the end of the world, when there was still war, people thought that the war would not come to their doorstep.
After the end of the world, people just want to live.
"New Year's Eve is only three days away."
"Yes, in the fourth year of the apocalypse, I don't know if we can live a better life."
"Just be content if you can do this. At least you have food and shelter."
"well……"
Jing Sa carried Ji Zhan on his back and walked on the narrow road, listening to all the comments of the people around him. Then he led Ji Zhan into the dark alley and disappeared.
The black market in the outer base still exists. Not only has business not been bleak due to the cold wave, but more people have come in to trade.
After finding out the location of the black market tonight during the day, Jing Sa took Ji Zhan into the black market again.
In the underground cave of the shelter, the lights were bright, and the items sold in the black market were scattered on the tarpaulin spread on the ground.
There are all kinds of people in the black market, and even Jing Sa walking there with Ji Zhan on his back won't attract too much attention.
Jing Sa also discovered that there were many more people reselling crystal cores on the black market. Looking at those people who bought the crystal cores, Jing Sa couldn't help but think of the fate of Tu Uulu and his daughter.
Jing Sa glanced at all this with cold eyes, and then continued to look for his target.
Finally, the strange doctor appeared again.
However, it was different from the last time he queued up for medical treatment. This time, the strange doctor just sat in front of his tattered tent, with his messy black hair covering his face, and his emerald green eyes staring blankly at the thing in his hand.
.
It is a crystal nucleus.
Since this thing became popular on the black market, there have been a lot fewer people seeing doctors.
The shadow blocked the light above his head, and the strange doctor looked up. His emerald green eyes looked like the finest emerald stones under the light.
"It's you." Although Jing Sa's face was wrapped in bandages and looked unrecognizable, the strange doctor recognized Jing Sa at a glance.
Then he noticed the person Jing Sa was carrying on his back.
Jing Sa stood in front of the strange doctor, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "I want to see you for an operation."
…
The strange doctor's name is Lin Xu, and he is a complete weirdo, not only because of his character but also his abilities.
He is not an evolved person, and he has no symptoms of supernatural awakening, but he was able to notice the specialness of Ji Zhan and Jing Sa when he met them for the first time.
Even Lin Xu couldn't explain his specialness, but if he really had to give a reason, he could only say that he "saw it."
Lin Xu can see some things invisible to the naked eye, including special cell division.
This ability is innate, which also destined his life to be different from ordinary people.
Lin Xu and Jing Sa shuttled between the crowded houses in the outer base. The closer to the outer base, the fewer people lived there, and there were even many abandoned and unoccupied houses.
In order to stay away from the dangerous wilderness, people who were originally assigned to live near the outside would rather go to a place further inside to beg, rather than stay so close to the outside for fear of being bitten off by a monster that attacks at night.
At night, Lin Xu used the flashlight in his hand to shine on the road, looking back at Jing Sa from time to time.
There was no one clearing the snow here, and it could reach up to someone's waist. Jing Sa was carrying someone on his back, so he walked much slower.
Finally, he followed Lin Xu and stopped outside a dilapidated bungalow. Lin Xu took the key and opened the door, then touched the light switch of the house.
The old chandelier turned on, illuminating everything in the room with dim light. A few simple pieces of furniture were messily placed in the room. The bed looked like no one had slept on it for a long time. There were traces of ice everywhere in the room.
, people can’t help but wonder if Lin Xu really lives here?
But Lin Xu soon gave the answer. He moved the bed, and the entrance to a secret passage appeared under the bed.
"The operating room is down there."
Lin Xu held a flashlight and stepped half of his body down first. When he saw Jing Sa still standing at the door, he explained.
After all, he is not a serious doctor, so he is not allowed to perform surgeries privately.
Jing Sa carried Ji Zhan on his back and followed Lin Xu, but before he got to the end, he could already smell the strong smell of disinfectant.
Lin Xu turned on the lights in the underground operating room. Although the operating room was crudely built, it was equipped with all the instruments and equipment. There were even one or two pieces of equipment that were not available in the outer base. He didn't know where he got them.
Lin Xu pointed to an operating bed next to him and said, "Put her there."
Jing Sa did as he was told, and then took off the bandage used to cover Ji Zhan's face. Under the operating light, Ji Zhan lay there with his eyes closed like an exquisite doll.
Lin Xu rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands first, leaned over, stared at Ji Zhan with squinted eyes, and then reached out to touch Ji Zhan's wrist pulse.
After Lin Xu was silent for a moment, he asked: "How do you want me to save her? Although there are still signs of life in her body, they were not generated by her on her own. Did you put any parasites in her body?"
Although Lin Xu likes to treat strange diseases, he does not accept requests to bring the dead back to life.
In Lin Xu's eyes, Ji Zhan was already a corpse, and there was no need for further surgery.
Jing Sa had already been making plans since he knew that Ji Zhan had health problems.
He will try his best to save Ji Zhan.
He wants Ji Zhan to survive, no longer with a lifespan that has an expiration date, but with a life that she can control.
Jing Sa slowly removed the bandage on his face, and in Lin Xu's extremely surprised eyes, he could clearly see his current appearance.
In order to conceal his identity and escape the inspection at the base level, Jing Sa used a knife to destroy his face, leaving six or seven scars on his face that were deep enough to show the bones, which was enough to make people unable to resist looking at his original appearance.
.
The purpose of wearing a bandage is not to bandage yourself and stop bleeding, but to allow the bandage to embed into the wound, preventing the wound on your face from fully healing.
And now that Jing Sa took off the bandage, the horrific stab wounds on his face began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, under Lin Xu's disbelieving gaze, the injury on his face healed completely on its own, leaving no trace.
Jing Sa said, "I want you to give her my heart."
In fact, without knowing the heart, Ji Zhan has had thirteen replacement surgeries on his heart, soles of feet, blood vessels...
He wanted to give Ji Zhan everything he needed in exchange.
Lin Xu thought he was crazy enough, but he didn't expect that the man in front of him had even crazier ideas than him. After seeing Jing Sa's inhuman healing ability, Lin Xu put away his surprised expression and laughed.
Two voices said: "I think it may not be her who needs the surgery, but you."
Lin Xu pointed to his head, with a mocking look in his emerald eyes. He felt that Jing Sa's brain became a little abnormal after experiencing the death of his lover.
Although he is not a serious doctor, he also understands that death is death. There is no way to resurrect the dead in this world. Even if there is, the person who is resurrected may not be human anymore.
Lin Xu held a scalpel in his hand. He looked at Ji Zhan on the operating bed and said, "It's not that just changing the heart can bring someone back to life. A corpse is a corpse. She has..."
"Her body functions haven't stopped yet."
Jing Sa interrupted Lin Xu.
He reached out and touched Ji Zhan's cold face with the back of his hand. The operating light above his head seemed to have dropped a layer of white frost on their bodies.
Lin Xu frowned and focused on looking at Ji Zhan again. He seemed to have finally discovered some incredible phenomenon and opened his eyes slightly.
At this time Jing Sa said: "She just lacks a heart."
