Institute, waiting area.
Shang Jianyao paced back and forth, occasionally exclaiming:
"Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Rashness and boldness often mean impatience.
Jiang Baimian sat at one end of the bench against the wall, and couldn't help but say:
"Stop pacing back and forth, you're making me dizzy."
Doesn't this guy know that in similar situations, emotions can infect others?
I wasn't nervous to begin with, but after you walked around and shouted a few times, I'm getting nervous too.
"Yes, be patient, this kind of surgery must take a long time." Long Yuehong agreed with the team leader.
The honest Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:
"Who said that?
"You've never done it before!"
"I have." Jiang Baimian subconsciously replied for Long Yuehong.
Shang Jianyao quickly inquired:
"How long did it take?"
Uh... Jiang Baimian was a little stuck for a moment.
She was unconscious at the time, so how would she know exactly how long it took, and she didn't pay much attention to it afterwards.
"Anyway..." she forcefully replied, "It was quite long."
To divert attention, she criticized Shang Jianyao:
"You, you've only been waiting for a few hours, how can you be so impatient? Look at Xiao Hong, he's been sitting quietly, not changing expression even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him."
"He has to go to the bathroom about once an hour." Shang Jianyao pointed out, "Frequent urination is a major sign of nervousness."
Hey, don't drag me into your debate... Long Yuehong wanted to say, but when he opened his mouth, he felt dry and unable to speak.
He didn't remember how many times he went to the bathroom, he only knew that the surgery had been going on for three hours and seventeen minutes.
Jiang Baimian wasn't in the mood to chat and decided to ignore Shang Jianyao.
Just then, the door of the operating room suddenly opened.
A hospital bed was pushed out, and the person on it was wrapped in a strange film, with multiple tubes inserted into their body, connecting to different instruments and medicine bottles.
Long Yuehong stood up abruptly, but his legs were a little weak.
His body swayed, and he could only watch helplessly as the team leader and Shang Jianyao rushed over.
"How is it?" Jiang Baimian asked.
The researcher in charge of this gene modification nodded:
"It's been relatively successful so far, the next step is to see if she can survive the post-operative reactions."
While answering, he signaled the assistants to push Bai Chen to the intensive care unit.
"How long will that take?" Shang Jianyao pressed.
The researcher carefully considered his words:
"About three hours, and the situation will stabilize.
"After that, it's a month of regular treatment, mainly to accelerate the body's recovery, and the specific plan includes regular visits to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber..."
Three hours... Long Yuehong finally came over.
He couldn't help but look at Bai Chen, who was lying on the hospital bed and being pushed into the intensive care unit, and found that her face was pale, with obvious signs of pain.
While paying attention to the corresponding situation, Jiang Baimian forced herself to calm down and inquired about the follow-up matters:
"Will you need us to stay and take care of her then?"
The researcher shook his head without hesitation:
"In the first few days, you haven't received professional training, and it's easy to bring certain viruses and bacteria infections. After that period, the patient will have some mobility.
"You have two hours of visiting time every day, you can come often to keep the patient in a good mood, which will help her body's self-repair."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian always respects the opinions of professionals, and finalized the matter before Shang Jianyao could say anything.
After watching Bai Chen enter the intensive care unit, they went to the next room and watched the situation inside through the glass window.
After a while, Jiang Baimian flipped her wrist and looked at her watch:
"Hey, go back to the office, get our lunch boxes, and get some food from the small canteen."
"I don't need it, I'm not that hungry." Long Yuehong didn't have any appetite.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him and, before she could speak, Shang Jianyao had already said seriously:
"If we eat deliciously outside, Xiao Bai should be able to feel it, and then she will think about waking up quickly and joining us."
Which Shang Jianyao is this? Why is he a little childish... Jiang Baimian muttered in her heart, without refuting.
Long Yuehong thought for a while:
"Okay."
At this time, even if Shang Jianyao said "You have to take the left foot first to enter the toilet to bless Xiao Bai," he would try to do it.
……
Unspeakable pain, unbreakable darkness, made Bai Chen's consciousness hazy, muddled, struggling to regain consciousness.
She only had one thought lingering.
That is, "Finally get rid of the shackles of the past, and must take a good look at the future."
In such drifting, time passed by every minute and every second.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Chen only felt that there was a little light coming in from the edge of the darkness.
She subconsciously leaned towards that place, and the light became brighter and brighter, and redder and redder.
Finally, Bai Chen felt the existence of her body, blinked her eyes, and slowly opened them.
What came into her eyes was a white and monotonous ceiling and a strange lamp that she didn't know the name of.
The smell of disinfectant drilled into her nose, and the silence without human voices was in her ears.
Staring blankly at such a picture, Bai Chen slowly turned her head to the side.
Then, she saw the transparent glass window, and saw three faces plastered on it.
They belonged to two men and one woman respectively.
As soon as they saw Bai Chen looking over, they all smiled and waved their fists.
Bai Chen couldn't help but blink her eyes.
…………
The next morning, 647th floor, room 14.
"Xiao Bai had surgery so quickly, the scheduled surface training can only be postponed." Jiang Baimian leaned against her desk and said to Shang Jianyao, "It seems that we won't be able to apply for the 'Six Senses Beads' for a while."
Shang Jianyao stroked his chin:
"Then I'll try to force the application, saying that exploring the 'Mind Corridor' is useful.
"Are the 'Six Senses Beads' more dangerous than the 'Life Angel' necklace?"
"Well..." Jiang Baimian nodded, "You are an Awakened at the 'Mind Corridor' level, you should have privileges in this regard."
Most props are not as dangerous as the 'Mind Corridor' Awakened themselves.
She continued:
"Before that, you can explore other rooms first, such as that '506', it feels quite safe, quite suitable for you now."
These days, Shang Jianyao occasionally shares some information about different rooms in the 'Mind Corridor' with her, so that she can help plan the plan later.
"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "Most of us have obsessive-compulsive disorder, we won't go to the next room without exploring this room well."
Jiang Baimian was amused:
"Your mental problems are a bit complicated."
She didn't mention it again, and after thinking about it, she said:
"Then it's also idle during this time, let's divide up the company's internal data about the Iron Mountain Ruins and see if we can find any clues.
"When the next mission comes, ask Lao Han and Lao Ge again."
Han Wanghuo had been in Red Stone Town for several years, and the Iron Mountain Ruins were just a mountain away, while Genaeva downloaded the old world data from the "Mechanical Paradise" intranet, and the degree of detail was sometimes inferior to that of "Pangu Biology", but sometimes better.
In addition, Jiang Baimian also wanted Genaeva to investigate the genius scientist Lin Sui and find out what she mainly studied before the old world was destroyed.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao himself has been doing this kind of work during this time.
After explaining, Jiang Baimian realized a problem.
She looked to the other side:
"Xiao Hong, what's wrong with you, you haven't said anything?"
"Ah?" Long Yuehong woke up as if from a dream, "I was thinking about something."
"Are you considering withdrawing from the team, right?" Jiang Baimian expressed her understanding, "Don't rush, think clearly before making a decision."
She then clapped her hands lightly:
"Okay, let's go to the training room."
At this time, Shang Jianyao said "hesitantly":
"I also want to apply for two more items."
"Which two items?" Jiang Baimian's mind raced, guessing the answer.
Shang Jianyao replied truthfully:
"The first item is the medical record that Xiao Hong and I found in the Iron and Steel Plant Ruins.
"That place, like the 'Iron Mountain Second Food Company', is one of the five holy Buddhist sites, I want to see if the medical record found there will bring certain changes in the Food Company."
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"This idea is good, but it's not suitable now."
She quickly explained:
"The 'Iron Mountain Second Food Company' in room '522' is just a presentation of the memories related to the room's owner. The medical record should not exist inside, so there will be no changes.
"When we go to the Iron Mountain Ruins in reality in the future, that medical record may be useful."
Shang Jianyao said with an indifferent attitude:
"It's just a try anyway."
"What about the second item?" Jiang Baimian didn't have the heart to argue.
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"The owner of room '522' probably belongs to the 'Overseer' domain. The 'Natural Church', a cult that secretly spread within the company before, believes in the 'Overseer' Ruling Star.
"So, I want to apply for that tape recorder, the tape recorder that caused the spread of the 'Natural Church'."
