Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 21. Tang Ling Awakes
It was pitch black and I couldn't open my eyes.
"Gulu gulu..."
It's like being submerged in sea water, with liquid floating in the body following the breath.
It's like the waking feeling when a person is about to wake up from sleep, feeling that his body is stiff but unable to move.
"Gulu gulu..."
...
When Tang Ling opened her eyes again, she saw a snow-white ceiling.
"Well......"
I wanted to move my stiff body, but before Tang Ling could raise her hand, she felt an obvious resistance.
After her consciousness gradually recovered, Tang Ling's body's various sensations began to become clearer. The bed she was lying on was very soft and comfortable, but her arms, waist, abdomen, thighs, and the restraints in various parts of her body gradually became apparent. Tang Ling felt that
My ability to move was restricted, and my relaxed mood that I had just woken up suddenly became restless again.
"Lingling, you're awake!"
Luo Rui's familiar call reassured Tang Ling a little. She moved her head awkwardly, struggling to find Luo Rui.
This was a familiar scene in a hospital ward. The IV needle hanging on the shelf was still inserted into Tang Ling's hand. Luo Rui and Li Jia were sitting next to her, very happy to see her wake up.
"Rui..." A hoarse voice, like that of an eighty-year-old man, came from Tang Ling's throat, and even she was startled.
"Don't talk yet, drink some water to moisten your throat." Li Jia quickly grabbed the mineral water on the cabinet nearby, unscrewed the lid and carefully fed it to Tang Ling.
The sweet breath moistened the throat that was so dry that it was about to smoke. Tang Ling stopped Li Jia from continuing to feed, cleared her throat and asked about the current situation: "Where is this? How did we survive? Why am I tied up?
On the bed?"
"This is a temporary shelter on the outskirts of City C. It was the support troops brought by Zhao Chunlu who saved us. Lingling, you were scratched by the monster's claws before you passed out. The medical staff here will tie you up and isolate you just in case.
Already."
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Two days."
"That's it." Tang Ling looked back at Li Jia, adjusted to a comfortable posture, stared at the ceiling quietly for a long time, and said, "When can I get rid of this state?"
"Ah, I don't need to tie you up until the doctor comes to check you today. In fact, you have passed the most dangerous 24-hour infection period, but the doctor sees that you have no signs of waking up. In addition to these two
There are no signs of improvement in your physical condition, so just in case..." Li Jia explained.
"I understand. So you are not injured, are you? And where are Gu Zhou and the others? Are they okay?"
As soon as she closed her eyes, the ferocious face and the feeling of suffocation on the verge of death were in her mind. Tang Ling frowned, opened her eyes and looked at Li Jia and Luo Rui beside her, asking.
"None of us were injured, everyone is fine." Li Jia looked at the worried look Tang Ling looked at her and couldn't help but blush again.
Tang Ling couldn't see what she looked like now, but she and Luo Rui could see it clearly.
Tang Ling's body was covered with bandages. It was okay now. The white bandage that had been wrapped several times had no obvious red color. In the past two days, the blood stains would soon infect the bandages. They had to be removed and replaced.
, it was replaced and dismantled, and Zhao Chunlu argued with the attending doctor several times before they gave up treating Tang Ling. Otherwise, Tang Ling would have been pronounced dead.
Great, Tang Ling managed to survive, great.
"Why are you crying? Didn't everyone survive?"
Tang Ling saw Luo Rui and Li Jia crying uncontrollably beside her, and wanted to raise her hands to comfort them, but found that she was still tied up, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Yeah! I'll call the doctor!" Luo Rui said, wiped his face with his hand, and ran outside quickly.
After the doctor came, they struggled for a long time with various examinations and scans. Tang Ling was finally released from the restraints. She was supported by Li Jia and sat up on the pillow. She took a long breath and finally felt comfortable.
Also because of Tang Ling's special physical condition, she is currently placed in a separate ward, and the only ones who dare to approach her to take care of her are Li Jia and Luo Rui.
"Jiajia, the doctor here is a little strange."
Tang Ling thought of the doctors who had examined her body just now. They seemed to have the aura that they were more than just ordinary doctors. Moreover, it was the end of the world. Why would they still have such complete medical equipment?
"That's a military doctor. We are now at an evacuation point set up by the military."
Li Jia explained to Tang Ling. As soon as Luo Rui, who was carrying food outside, entered the room, he handed his pocket bag to Tang Ling.
"Lingling, come and eat quickly. This is your pocket. You got rid of all your clothes and other things during the surgery. I will help you put away this pocket."
"Thank you Rarity. By the way..."
Tang Ling took the bag and seemed to have remembered something and was about to ask.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, no, it's okay."
Tang Ling rubbed the lines on her pocket and recalled again that when she was unconscious, when the knife was about to pierce her chest, she felt that warm feeling, as if who had picked her up?
It must be an illusion, right?
Tang Ling opened the zipper and a small object fell out, attracting her attention.
"Um?"
Thousand paper cranes?
The small and exquisite paper crane was folded from light green cardboard. It may have been slightly deformed due to the squeezing of other objects in the bag. Tang Ling pinched its two wings, pressed down, turned it over, and spread its wings.
The paper crane just stayed in her open palm, lifelike, full of blessings and hope.
When was it put in?
It seems like she has never folded anything like this before, right?
Before Tang Ling could think about it, Wang Chao's familiar shout came from outside the door.
"Tang Ling!"
A dark shadow quickly rushed to Tang Ling's bed and held one of her hands, followed by Wang Chao's anxious and worried words.
"You're finally awake! Are you okay? Do you still recognize me? I'm really sorry. It's all my fault that you became like this. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry! I shouldn't have quarreled with you! I shouldn't have scolded you! Woo woo woo
It’s great that you’re okay!”
Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, such a young man held Tang Ling's hand tightly and cried. Then he cried more and more fiercely, making everyone look at him helplessly.
"Stop howling! People who didn't know better thought you were crying in mourning!"
Gu Zhou slapped Wang Chao in the face. Now he was very good at hitting Wang Chao, and he gradually became more proficient.
Gu Zhou dragged Wang Chao aside and looked at Tang Ling who had regained her energy on the bed. She relaxed after two days of tension and smiled at her: "It's good that you're fine."
"It's good that everyone survived."
Tang Ling looked at Gu Zhou standing in front of her and felt a little strange.
Although Gu Zhou's face is calm now and his appearance does not look out of the ordinary, his cheek muscles are in a tense state, and the obvious blue and black under his eyes show that he is very tired now. It can be said that he is still restless.
