Gao Shan was washing up in the room, Xinyue got up to make breakfast, and the phone beside the bed suddenly rang.
The call was from Lu Fang. He was already at the door of the hospital.
"Now?" Gao Shan asked a little speechlessly.
"Yes, I know it's very early now, but the rest of today's schedule is full." Lu Fang said generously and directly.
"Okay, I'll come right away." After hanging up the phone, Gao Shan changed his clothes and went downstairs.
"Breakfast will be ready soon." Xinyue was putting breakfast on the plate.
"Sorry, I have an emergency. I love you." Gao Shan stepped forward and kissed her on the face, picked up two pieces of bread, sandwiched the omelette with his hands, and walked out.
"Want something to drink?" Xinyue said, holding up a glass of milk.
It's not packed in a glass, but in a take-out package sealed with a plastic sealer like those sold outside.
"Um, this?" Gao Shan looked at him confused.
"I bought a plastic sealing machine to deal with this situation." Xinyue pointed at him and smiled.
"You are so considerate." Gao Shan took the milk, kissed her hard on the face, and then walked quickly to the hospital.
When he arrived at the back door of the hospital, Gao Shan had already finished his breakfast and put the garbage in the trash can.
"Professor Gao, we meet again." Hearing the footsteps, Lu Fang in the ward turned around and said with a tired smile.
"Yes, you don't look very good." Gao Shan said looking at his face.
"I'm fine, but I've been too tired recently." Lu Fang sat beside the diagnosis bed and smiled, his smile looking a little bitter.
Outsiders only see his glory, but they never see how difficult this position is, how much pressure he needs to bear, and how many problems he is responsible for solving.
"Then let me take a look." Gao Shan came to his side, stretched out his hand and pressed on his pulse. There was no emotion or joy on his expression.
"How about it, I think there's no problem... Although I really want to chat with you for a while, there's still a lot of work waiting for me." Lu Fang wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Today he will receive two waves of inspection groups, hold meetings with grassroots, inspect the science and technology incubator, meet with two mayors, summarize the work of the township, etc.
There were several high-level meetings, and a sinkhole incident occurred in one of the counties under its jurisdiction.
These terrible things made Lu Fang think a lot and he couldn't waste a minute.
"I think you have to push your work back." Gao Shan said expressionlessly.
"Professor Gao, what are the test results?" Lu Fangzheng was about to speak, but An Qing walked out of the door and stood close to him, holding breakfast in her hand and looking at him with a bit of mischief.
A woman in her thirties looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old. This woman is a bit unnatural.
However, she soon stopped laughing.
"There are new changes in his internal condition. I need further observation. However, his current condition is not suitable for work."
In front of the ward, Gao Shan told An Qing the truth. There was a new lesion in Lu Fang's body, which he thought was very complicated.
It was a bit like some kind of 'object or cell' had invaded his body, but he couldn't detect what it was.
"Professor Gao, has his condition relapsed? I know why he is always so desperate." An Qing said a little at a loss.
"Don't get excited yet, the situation hasn't been determined yet." Gao Shan didn't want to irritate her anymore, so he decided to wait until the situation was determined.
If his diagnosis is correct, perhaps this time the situation is worse than a heart attack.
"Let's do these examinations first, and I will consult with other doctors to exchange opinions." He asked An Qing to go through the procedures, and Gao Shan asked the nurse to notify Xiang Nan.
"Professor Gao, I'm really busy today. I have to go to work. Why don't we discuss physical issues after work is over." Lu Fang wanted to leave in the ward.
"Your situation is very complicated. If you don't want to collapse at work, I advise you to stay." Gao Shan's warning was not an exaggeration.
His body is 'aging' at a speed that ordinary people cannot understand, and his vital signs are being depleted at a rate several times higher than normal.
This change is difficult to see from the outside, it is more internal.
But because of this, his situation is even more dangerous, and he may fall ill at any time.
"Dean." Xiang Nan came.
"Doctor Xiang, come and make a diagnosis!" Gao Shan stepped away from the bed and motioned to Xiang Nan to diagnose him.
The observation method of Western medicine is actually similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves looking at changes in pupils, facial surface changes, and listening to echoes from the heart and lungs.
"His heart seems to be weakening. Why is it beating so slowly?" Xiang Nan looked at Gaoshan with a stethoscope in confusion.
"This is exactly why I let him stay. His heart has not failed, but other organs, including other organs, are in the process of natural aging."
"You mean all the internal organs are aging?" Xiang Nan asked in disbelief.
"That's right." Gao Shan nodded affirmatively.
"Have you encountered anything strange recently, or have you been to certain places?" Xiang Nan immediately asked about Lu Fang's whereabouts.
"No, everything is normal, just working." Lu Fang answered firmly.
"Earth beast? Tiankeng? Parasite?" Gao Shan said three names in succession, and the dullness on his face suddenly disappeared.
"How do you know?" Lu Fang didn't know the existence of Gaoshan.
In other words, his level is not enough to know Gao Shan's 'real' identity, let alone his cooperation with the military.
"It seems that you have been in contact with it, what is it?" Gao Shan did not answer his question, but asked him what it was related to?
"Does she know too?" Lu Fang looked at Xiang Nan cautiously. Seeing her confused look, she didn't look like someone who understood all this.
"We are at the same level." Gao Shan said casually.
"Okay, it's an earth beast. There was a sinkhole in a certain county. My team and I went in once, and we felt a little uncomfortable when we came back." Lu Fang shook his head as he spoke. He was getting sleepier now.
"What strange things did you encounter inside?" Gao Shan asked next.
If it were just an earth beast, this shouldn't happen, or maybe what he encountered was not an ordinary earth beast.
Otherwise, there would be something in the "Sinkhole", such as a meteorite, that would make him what he is now.
"Nothing strange... Wait, it sounds like something happened. Not long after entering, everyone suddenly felt dizzy and lay staggering on the ground.
But we are not in a coma, we just temporarily lose control of our bodies, a bit like a vegetative state. Our eyes can move and see, and our brains can think, but cannot respond."
"I think the problem lies here, what's the name of that county?" Seeing the confusion in Lu Fang's eyes, Gao Shan took out the phone directly.
Since you can't convince the other party, then find a reason or person who can convince him.
