The coin was tossed a dozen times, but failed to be caught every time.
The absent-minded Natsume was not discouraged while lying on the bed, and continued to throw coins upwards. Such a simple action, not to mention an "expert" like Natsume who has entered the mysterious realm, even ordinary people rarely do it ten times in a row.
He couldn't catch the coin several times. However, Natsume just couldn't catch it. There was no other reason... He couldn't say that he felt mysterious now. Even the specific shape, color, state and position of the objects in front of him were sometimes difficult to grasp.
.
More than a year ago, Natsume killed five monsters by himself. Those monsters that were extremely contaminated by divinity and almost came to this world with transcendent power were killed by him alone. But when he was exhausted
After being exhausted, Natsume was laid out of Xiong'an and sent to a nearby shelter to recuperate for a month. Natsume was horrified to discover that Xuan Ao had already left him.
Now he is not only afraid of the cold, but his physical condition is also far worse than before.
Even after unexpectedly meeting his master in the hospital, Natsume finally did not dare to mention the painful situation he was facing to Yougege. Moreover, recently, Natsume would always see many infected people after falling asleep.
Emerged from the underground abyss, but he could only watch one living life after another being swallowed up, polluted, and desecrated, but he was powerless.
Now the only person who knows about Natsume's plight is Zhou Baoyu, who was recuperating in the same ward at that time.
Natsume was very wary of Zhou Baoyu at first.
Although this man is not good-looking, and he is not good-looking, let alone handsome. But this man can see into Natsume's thoughts at a glance, and knows that Natsume is not simple. Natsume just lied at first, and did not want to have too much contact with this man, but
Slowly, he discovered that Zhou Baoyu had no ill intentions. On the contrary, he seemed to want to help Natsume get out of the predicament.
However, the god named Kamino whom Zhou Baoyu mentioned who could definitely help Natsume out of the predicament never showed up. This made Natsume suspicious of Zhou Baoyu again, and Zhou Baoyu was also very embarrassed...probably because he didn't expect that he
He was actually abandoned by Kamino and Ah Qi so quickly.
Fortunately, when he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Aqi asked someone to send him a letter. The letter was written by Kamino. The content of the letter basically told Zhou Baoyu to hide himself carefully, and at the same time, he must be careful about the person in the first axis. As for Kamino and Kamino,
Shenye didn't mention where Ah Ou went in the letter, leaving only the word "锼", which confused Zhou Baoyu.
The word "鼼" is not unfamiliar to Natsume.
It refers to a kind of bird, a giant-beaked chocobo. It is said that it can distinguish between good and evil. Good people can be protected by it, but evil people will be stabbed to death by its giant beak when they see it.
There is also an evolution of this character, written as "nue", which is a bird of disaster in Japanese folklore that screams all night long. It is said that anyone who hears its cry will die painfully as if poisoned, and because of the evolution of its character
At the same time, its image has also evolved into a kind of four-like image, which refers to ambiguity, vague attitudes and ideas.
But even if he knew what the word "鼼" meant, it was obvious that Natsume couldn't figure out the meaning of this so-called "Kami-sama" whom he had never seen before.
Xintiusi returned it to Zhou Baoyu and told him that this was because his master no longer wanted him and he was too embarrassed to explain it clearly.
When Zhou Baoyu heard this, he was so anxious that he almost cried. Natsume looked funny, but also couldn't bear it. In the end, he didn't let the joke continue to ferment, and at the same time, he had a good impression of Zhou Baoyu.
Later, Natsume and Shu Baoyu were assigned to the same shelter, and the two became friends. Although Natsume was usually very strong, he always received Shu Baoyu's care. No, when the coin fell for the thirty-third time, Natsume still couldn't
When he received it, Zhou Baoyu entered the house carrying two lunch boxes.
He glanced at the coins falling on the table and said, "If this method doesn't work, stop practicing. It's not like a broken leg will grow back again. You have to calm down."
Natsume glared at him angrily: "Do you really think this is mystical or cultivating immortality? If it were so easy, would I be so troubled?"
Zhou Baoyu laughed, he never took Natsume's words seriously. After walking to the table and putting down the lunch box, he asked: "How is it? Did the recording of the program go well?"
After thinking about it for a while, Natsume said with some annoyance: "I don't know what happened to me. I had planned to fool around with it, but as a result I couldn't stop talking, and all the resentment and anger in my heart were gone.
Even if I say it, I don’t know if I will be laughed at by that woman.”
When Zhou Baoyu heard this, he glared and said: "What's wrong with the angry youth?! It's better than being a coward for the rest of your life! This society is so stupid. Everyone is obviously weak in the knees and has become a slave and has given up. Instead, he is holding on
If you have green hair and teach others how to be a good person, I see, you should just say what you want! Some people think that they are just a thing all day long!"
Natsume heard it funny: "I think you are more angry than me."
Zhou Baoyu pouted: "Stop talking nonsense, eat quickly and go to bed. I will take you to the hospital to see Dr. Zhang tomorrow."
Natsume opened the lunch box and his eyes lit up: "Okay, there are chicken legs to eat today?"
Zhou Baoyu chuckled: "Not everyone has this. I snatched it from the condolence gifts sent by Li Dan. You can eat it while it's hot."
When Li Dan was mentioned, Natsume suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It's absolutely impossible to say that Natsume doesn't have any feelings for Li Dan. But Li Dan's sudden confession really caught Natsume off guard... He was conceited that he didn't take good care of this girl, and he didn't have a natural relationship with her.
It was necessary to talk about love, so he frankly explained his thoughts.
The result... The two of them are now in a quarrel that is quite embarrassing. Although Li Dan did not avoid Natsume, he rarely came to Natsume to talk and laugh. Natsume always felt that he was a little sorry for others.
But then I thought again, men and women in this world are meant for you to love me. If I don’t love you, I love her. If she doesn’t love my script, there is nothing to be sorry for, so I take it lightly.
But with a downbeat mind, Natsume couldn't help but be entranced when he heard the name.
Zhou Baoyu could see Natsume's thoughts, but he has become much smarter in the past year than in the past. He did not pick it out outright, let alone make random jokes. He only said: "You don't like to eat chicken drumsticks? Don't give it to me!"
"As he said that, he was about to pick it up.
Natsume decisively took the lunch box away: "De Xing! Who says you don't like eating! Go and eat your own! Stop hitting my chicken leg!"
Zhou Baoyu chuckled and thought to himself: 'It's okay, it's okay.'
After finishing the meal, Zhou Baoyu suddenly said seriously: "Brother Natsume...don't you think it's a little weird for the first central axis to record a program at this time?"
Natsume asked, "What's so weird?"
Zhou Baoyu frowned and analyzed: "It stands to reason that if someone hadn't worked so hard to send the situation in Xiongan to individuals around the world in the form of video data, let alone other people, even the two of us would have died in Xiongan long ago.
But at that time, the First Central Axis just kept silent, neither restraining and managing the increasingly large-scale rescue operations, nor doing any publicity while the iron was hot to encourage the people to stick to their positions... On the contrary, more than a year later, things happened
Isn’t it abnormal to think of doing a show again after you’re already cold?”
Natsume looked at Zhou Baoyu with great interest and then continued to ask: "Then what do you think? Is there some big conspiracy hidden here?"
Zhou Baoyu said: "I don't think it's a big conspiracy or anything like that, but this time point is very delicate. Look... It's now 2149. It's been more than three years since the 'sun disappeared', and shelters all over the world are gradually disappearing."
We are on the right track. As long as things like Xiongan don't happen, I estimate that there won't be any major changes in the next few decades... And this program is released at this time. On the surface, it is to solve the people's problems.
Negative emotions, actually I think... they want to take this opportunity to think about the smell."
Natsume listened with a perfunctory attitude at first, but when he heard this, he felt something was wrong.
"Thinking about the future?"
"Yes, think about it, if the 'sun' really disappears for decades, or even one or two hundred years, most of these shelters will have to be turned into requiem tombs by then." Zhou Baoyu
The words are astonishing.
Natsume didn't expect that the unattractive guy in front of him would speak with such open thinking. He thought for a moment and frowned: "You mean... the show is fake... we are conducting overt and covert visits to collect the status of various shelters to make long-term preparations."
is true?"
Zhou Baoyu nodded solemnly: "Well, I think it's almost the same."
Natsume hissed and looked at Zhou Baoyu in surprise: "Have you always been so smart? Or am I the fool who never saw that you are smart?"
Zhou Baoyu grinned and hummed twice: "What you said, do you really look so stupid? But...it's true that I didn't come up with these things alone, but a long time ago, 'God
Your Excellency said something similar."
After hearing this, Natsume became more and more interested in Master Zhou Baoyu, and he asked: "Then can you repeat to me what your 'Kami-sama' said at that time?"
Zhou Baoyu thought for a while and then said: "I don't remember clearly, but the general meaning is... this disaster may last for a long time, and the further it goes on and the deeper the night, the more ugly sides of human nature will be exposed.
At that time, the trust between people collapses like an avalanche, and only those who hug tightly can keep the last 'fire of hope'."
Natsume heard something a bit mysterious, he frowned and said: "Is this 'God' of yours a prophet?"
"Prophet? What kind of prophet?"
"Ang, don't the words he said sound like he's predicting the future?"
Zhou Baoyu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
but……
"But this is actually not entirely a prophecy, maybe it is just a reasonable outlook based on what I know and know?" Zhou Baoyu said.
After hearing this, Natsume pondered for a moment and then snorted coldly: "Sure enough, you kid is just pretending to be honest and honest!"
"Ah? What do you mean?" Zhou Baoyu was stunned.
Natsume took a deep breath: "It doesn't mean anything. Anyway, if you are smarter, it will only do me good and no harm... Besides, I won't go to the hospital. That Dr. Zhang is not reliable at all. He prescribes prescriptions for me every time."
Either it treats kidney deficiency or insomnia, I don’t want to be tortured by him anymore.”
Zhou Baoyu heard the words and said anxiously: "Hey!? How can that be done? As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is hard on the ears and good for action! Maybe you really have a problem in your body that you are not aware of, so you are alienated by Xuanyou.
, if it can be cured by Dr. Zhang’s wonderful rejuvenation, you can still fly with a sword in the future! Don’t be discouraged!”
Natsume was unmoved. He squinted at Zhou Baoyu and then said with a move to defeat the enemy: "Come on, after talking so much, it's not because you have taken a fancy to Dr. Zhang's precious daughter who is a nurse.
, if I don’t go to the doctor now, you may not have enough excuses to flirt with other girls, right?”
Zhou Baoyu's expression did not change when he was struck by the words, but his face suddenly turned red.
He hesitated and said: "How...how can...Brother Natsume, you are really thinking nonsense...this...isn't it just looking at us...we...our brothers have a deep relationship..."
"No... no, no, no, no... bah! Come on, you! You can't say enough! If you really like this girl, go for her directly. Don't use me as a shield. I'm not your wingman." Natsume said.
After I finished, I put the lunch box in the trash can and threw it back on the bed and lay down.
Zhou Baoyu said with a sad face: "Brother! We are not like you, tall and handsome, and attract girls to like you. Tell me, during the days when you were lying in Xiongan, I came to visit you.
There are all kinds of beautiful girls one after another, but as for me, no one cares about me from the beginning to the end. I look at it with envy. You are really dying of drought or dying of waterlogging."
"Haha..." Natsume knew what Zhou Baoyu was complaining about, but if he knew the specific identities of those girls, Natsume estimated that this boy would no longer envy him.
"Just go ahead and don't care whether your brother or I live or die. Hey...some people...sleep when they're full. I'm an old hero. My younger brother kindly wants to take him to see a doctor so that he can regain his ambition as soon as possible. Unexpectedly
In the end, I was left out in the cold, which really made me cry~~~"
Natsume, who was just about to close his eyes and rest, broke out in a cold sweat. He was really convinced by this little brother who looked honest and honest but was very cunning.
"Oh, shut up! I'll go with you! Why don't you go with me?"
As she said this, Natsume stood up and put on her shoes.
But Zhou Baoyu got the advantage and acted like a good boy. He sat in front of the table and continued to complain about himself like a demon possessed: "Me, I have lost my mother since I was a child. I don't know what kind of bastard my damn father is. I have never been approached by a girl in my life."
After talking, let alone pulling the little girl's soft hands and kissing the little girl's mouth, how can this world be so unfair? Ha... Yes, we are so ugly and skinny, how can we be like others, who look like Pan An is so charming?
, it’s really enviable... Oh! Just tell me, don’t do anything.”
Seeing that this boy was not done yet, Natsume retracted his fist and said angrily: "Let's go! Zhou Shiniang! If you cry again, let alone the Great Wall, you will cry all over Mount Everest!"
"Hey, didn't I see that you were unhappy recently?" Zhou Baoyu would find a way out for himself.
Natsume rolled her eyes at him, but it was quite funny to think that a grown man was crying and making trouble. However, he still pretended not to appreciate it and said with a straight face: "I promised in advance that today is the last time, you
If you seize the opportunity, just let me go. If you can't, don't blame me for being unkind."
After hearing this, Zhou Baoyu stood up with a serious face as if he had received an imperial edict and said: "I have received the order. Thank you Lord for your kindness."
Natsume almost lost his composure when he heard this weird answer. He sighed: "Hey... I hope Dr. Zhang is not here today because he is on sick leave..."
…
There are only three large hospitals in the mining area built inside the shelter, which provide medical services to ordinary residents, workers and upper-level regional managers. Dr. Zhang Simiao, whom Zhou Baoyu mentioned, originally provided medical services to upper-level managers in the hospital in the upper-level area.
We do private physical therapy, but unfortunately he has a little problem, that is, he likes to take things that others accidentally drop on the floor.
So within a few days, Zhang Simiao was sent to the hospital in the residential area and began to provide outpatient medical services to community residents. Due to limited resources in the shelter, many minor illnesses could only be dealt with by himself, so Zhang Simiao usually
Bian is not very busy either. But today is a bit special...
There was a landslide in the mining area. More than 100 workers were trapped and more than 400 workers were injured. The hospital in the mining area was suddenly filled to capacity. The remaining injured who were not accounted for could only be sent to residential hospitals and hospitals according to the severity of their injuries.
High-rise hospital.
When Natsume and Zhou Baoyu arrived at the hospital, they saw from a distance that Zhou Baoyu's favorite girl named Zhang Yishan was riding on a critically ill patient to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him, while other caregivers were pushing a stretcher carrying two people.
The car rushed to the emergency room.
The two looked at each other and immediately rushed over to help the busy medical staff place the wounded who were being brought in.
Even though they were used to seeing life and death, after more than a year of calm, Zhou Baoyu and Natsume still couldn't help but face the hundreds of injured people wailing in pain and the relatives of the injured kneeling on the ground begging doctors and nurses to save their families.
Moving.
Zhou Baoyu clenched his fists tightly and his breathing was as heavy as an ox.
Natsume was most familiar with this state, which was a pathological stress reaction that only occurred in people who had experienced extremely severe hardships. So he quickly took Zhou Baoyu to the side and sat down to let him calm down.
After a night...
Due to extremely limited medical resources, the condition of many patients who were initially injured began to worsen, and some of the injured who were already in serious condition even suffered from hemorrhagic shock. The atmosphere of death and despair is permeating...
When he saw the belated female reporter arriving in a hurry, Natsume stared at her, and then slowly closed the eyes of a wounded man with no relatives next to him who was still staring at death.
