Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 97

"boom--"

The moment the flying boat landed on the apron of the medical center, a red light lit up in the sky, and the alarm sound that had stopped suddenly sounded again, and then the news came that the defense line of the D5 area of ​​the quarantine area had been breached.

"Professor Fei, we have to hurry up." An entourage reminded, "You have to go to the governing hall in 10 minutes."

There were several bright lights in the night sky, which were several military airships going there.

The wind messed up Xuexian's hair and bulged his robe, and he was reminded by the people around him: "Your Highness, Son, it's time to go."

Xue Xian nodded, looking back from above.

He turned around, held Professor Fei's arm, and walked down with her.

The entire building was brightly lit, and hundreds of doctors and nurses were busy here day and night. Just like the outside of the temple, this place was also overcrowded. Looking down from the platform, a huge crowd of people surrounded the place.

Dr. Bai is no longer in the special intensive care unit, which has been vacated for patients who need more special care, which means it is self-evident.

Although the medical center has a lot of protection and testing checkpoints, and any infected persons and visitors with a degree of four or more are not allowed to enter, the corridors are still full of people.

Fortunately, Professor Fei was there, and they were unimpeded under the leadership of a special person.

Many people recognized Xuexian, but few showed any expressions of excitement or surprise. Unlike the people outside the temple who jumped at him as soon as they saw him, most of the people in the medical center were already suffering from illnesses. patients, people who experienced strong side effects after injecting powerful inhibitors, and people like Dr. Bai who were innocently implicated in the riots.They were not severely infected and did not need the help of the Holy Son. They just watched Xuexian and his party pass by with slightly curious or indifferent eyes.

One picture after another broke into Xue Xian's eyes.

Scarred couples clinging to each other, children crying because of side effects, old people with bloody faces and arms missing, young people who collapsed after witnessing their relatives’ illnesses taken away, exhausted doctors and nurses... Such scenes appear. Everywhere they passed, a thousand kinds of suffering in life gathered in this building.

The outside world is purgatory, and so is the inside.

Peace and happiness are no longer there. Every frame you see and every sound you hear is the end of the wave of life.

It's all a bit distorted.

Xuexian felt that he had just had a long, long dream, but that night was dark and heavy, never dawning.

When I came to Dr. Bai's bed, this feeling became hazy.

Dr. Bai's broken glasses are still on the bedside, and he has never worn them since he was rescued.He was still lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, but a layer of black air lingered on the clean skin, blood vessels protruded high, and his limbs were twitching—compared to other severely infected patients, Dr. Bai's reaction It's smaller, it's the powerful inhibitor that was injected before and it's still working a little bit.

Xuexian couldn't get close to the teacher immediately.

As soon as he approached the hospital bed, he was stopped by two soldiers: "You can't go there, it's too dangerous."

Professor Fei's eyes were moist, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, but his back was still straight.She has seen too many life and death in her life, and she has seen too many deformed bodies, including her children.Everyone knows that Professor Fei's eldest son, that is, Rayleigh's father, developed a deformity at the age of 24, and she personally ended it. There was an uproar.

Xue Xian's reaction was somewhat beyond her expectation, this child seemed to be stronger than expected.

"nothing."

Xue Xian looked at the bed, Dr. Bai's arms and legs were tightly fixed, and it looked painful.

He turned his head and said to the soldiers: "You have imprisoned him, he cannot move."

After Xuexian finished speaking, he brushed away the soldiers and came to the hospital bed, and held Dr. Bai's hand that had become dry and bony due to disease.As if feeling something, Dr. Bai on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes. The eyeballs had turned pure black, and the twitching of the whole person became more violent, and there was a "click" sound in his throat.

Dr. Bai has not been completely diseased, but there is only a trace of clarity that belongs to human beings, which is very small.

He seemed to be waiting for Xue Xian.

"Teacher, I'm here to see you."

Xuexian spoke very softly, but his tone was still calm, as usual, he was discussing the truth with his teacher, talking about confusion, and talking about the soul.

"sorry."

"I seem to... let you down."

If Dr. Bai didn't come back with Xue Xian this time, then he wouldn't encounter such an accident.

But just as he said to Xuexian, "I'm just your teacher, and I'm here only for you", from the moment he took Xuexian out of the petri dish with his own hands, he dedicated the rest of his life silently Gave it to Xue Xian.

From the habitat to the dragon island, from the construction of the base to the establishment of the research institute, to leaving everything that has been established, and accompanying Xuexian back to the habitat, what Dr. Bai has done has already exceeded the responsibilities of the temple mentor.No matter what decision Xue Xian made, he always silently supported him, fulfilled his promise to accompany Xue Xian forever, and served as Xue Xian's solid backing.

"I have nothing at all. It is your choice that makes this journey of life more meaningful."

This is also what Dr. Bai once said to Xue Xian.

"...I failed to make this journey more meaningful." Xuexian felt that he hadn't done it, and couldn't do it.He didn't let go of the teacher's hand, his body slowly slid down, and he knelt and sat in front of the hospital bed, with the lingering water mist in front of his eyes.

"Uh..." some faint air voices.

"teacher!"

Xuexian suddenly looked up, but the miracle he imagined did not happen.

The teacher's face was full of black air, and a rapid gasping sound came out of his throat.Xuexian stood up, and was about to release the energy field subconsciously, but when he heard Professor Fei shout something, the two soldiers rushed forward one after the other, pulling Xuexian back!

Dr. Bai on the hospital bed was arched upwards, with black claws protruding from his fingers and toes, and he let out a sharp scream.

As if his last wish had been fulfilled, Dr. Bai had completely become a deformed body at this time, exhausted.

Xuexian didn't struggle, but stared at this scene with wide eyes.

Death does not make Xue Xian afraid, but his tears flowed out uncontrollably, and in a blink of an eye there were crystal tears hanging on his cheeks and chin.

A soldier named An Ji stepped forward and injected Dr. Bai with the tranquilizer that had been prepared in the medical center. Dr. Bai gradually stopped screaming and convulsing, and slowly put his arched body back. The soldier closed it for him. In a blink of an eye, he calmed down as if he was asleep.

Dr. Bai, the tutor of the temple, was refined all his life, and now he was lying there, as kind and gentle as before.

Professor Fei folded the white handkerchief and put it in his jacket pocket, approached Dr. Bai, and sang a requiem for her esteemed student.The soldiers took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence for Dr. Bai.

At this farewell moment, the ward was very quiet, and everyone looked solemn.

I don't know when the singing stopped. The world seemed to be quiet for a long time, until a voice came from behind: "Xuexian."

Xue Xian turned around in a daze, but it was Lei Li who came.

Professor Fei and the soldiers are no longer in the room. At this critical moment, although Professor Fei is old, there are still many important tasks to be dealt with in the governing hall.Xuexian vaguely remembered that Professor Fei gave him a hug before leaving, and said to him, "You are a very good boy, and your teacher is proud of you."

Her wrinkled cheeks are full of weariness, and despite her despair, she is still graceful and indomitable.

Perhaps this is the Coulson family, destined to hold up a world amidst great changes.

Leili probably also inherited this fine tradition. He told Xuexian that he was already assisting in the medical center, so he was able to learn about Dr. Bai's situation in the first place, and he used his grandmother's power to ask her to take Xuexian to the hospital. come here.

The ward was about to be emptied, and several doctors and nurses walked in, and respectfully put Dr. Bai into a white body bag.

Even after death, aberrants are still highly polluting, and they cannot be buried in the cemetery at all. How they were handled before is now clear to people.Now that the number of aberrations is increasing rapidly, there are not so many watercrafts that can send them to Longyu, and the management department of aberrations is also overwhelmed, so they have adopted the method of injecting tranquilizers and storing the corpses in a centralized manner.

"I heard that the government office plans to use dragon fire." Lei Li told Xue Xian in a low voice, "There are so many newborn dragons on the holy mountain. Since the government is keeping them for the time being, it will let them display their value."

Xuexian nodded, and watched the car with the body bag leave.

His teacher has passed away, and his soul has gone to a faraway place.

Like all the people around him who left, Alina, Jim, the researchers who died at the institute, and Sergeant Adams, they all came to this world in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Where the rest of the body will go seems to be no longer important.

Xue Xian and Lei Li came to the corridor together, and Lei Li said some comforting words to him, asked him about the situation of the temple, and expressed his concern, but he didn't listen much, but his eyes were red, his feet were weak, and all the surrounding people Amid the noise, my heart suddenly felt terribly empty.

The screen in the corridor showed the real-time picture outside, which attracted Xuexian's attention.He raised his eyes and saw that the breached defense zone D5 was in flames, and the intruding mutants surged into the isolation zone like ants.

Because the corpses and blood of the deformed body are highly contagious, it is very easy to form a place of highly corrosive evil spirits, making this place an city where the second fly dare not land, so the military cannot use bombs to strike in a large area , using all small-scale weapons of destruction.Tranquilizers, narcotics, etc. rained down from the air to the ground, and the deformed bodies on the ground piled up into a sea of ​​corpses, but the wave of distortions coming from the south kept hitting them, and they went on and on.

Seeing that the wave of distortion has broken through the green lighted defensive curtain wall of D5 area, and penetrated into the isolation area, the corridor suddenly became quiet.

Everyone knows what will happen once the aberration tide goes deep into the quarantine area. Even if people can still escape, they will lose the land they depend on for survival and lose their last retreat.

Lei Li withdrew his gaze and said to Xue Xian, "Don't go back to the temple."

Xue Xian asked: "Why?"

"It's useless." Lei Li avoided people and lightly clasped Xue Xian's shoulder, "You can't do much."

Xue Xian opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find any strong explanation.

Looking at his thin and pale face, Raleigh noticed the flash of pain in his eyes, thinking that it hurt his self-esteem, at the moment when his dearest relative had just passed away.

Lei Li immediately changed his tone: "Xuexian, listen to me, I know what your original intention is, but you will only be in danger if you go back to the temple now. You have seen the situation in D5 area. When the day dawns, maybe the Lord Chengdu no longer exists...you can't go back, and you can't stay here, come with me."

Lei Li's opinion was the same as that of Professor Fei, but Xuexian keenly felt that their choices were completely different.

Professor Fee isn't leaving here, Raleigh will.

Xuexian asked: "Where are you going?"

"A place that can absolutely guarantee your safety." Lei Li clenched his hands tightly and said in a deep voice, "We will figure out a solution when we get there. I have consulted many experts from the Academy of Sciences about your physical condition, and I may already have some ideas. "

Xue Xian looked behind Lei Li, and noticed several silent young people, neither sick nor injured, but soldiers in disguise.

This is a bit strange, but Xue Xian is not in the mood to think about it now. He can't say that Lei Li's actions must be wrong, and he doesn't want to prevent Lei Li from making a choice, so he just shook his head: "No."

Rayleigh stared at him closely: "Why?"

"You forgot, my dragon is here." Xuexian tried to pull out his arm, and said softly but firmly, "Isar is here. I am safe with him, and I will not leave him alone. "

Lei Li stared at Xue Xian uncharacteristically, and grasped very tightly. Xue Xian couldn't pull out his arm, and it hurt a little from being grabbed by him.

When the atmosphere was stalemate, someone in the corridor screamed, and the people immediately boiled up.

On the screen, in the back row of the D5 defense line, several soldiers are transforming into dragons. They are kneeling on the ground in pain, their limbs and bodies are multiplying at a hundred times the speed, and the fading human flesh is falling down, bloody, and bone spurs Claws, scales, wings and claws are all struggling out of the flesh and blood.

The dragon that completed the transformation first was dark red. It was in the anger of its transformation. After screaming up to the sky, it sprayed raging dragon fire at the surging distortion. The body was burned to ashes and drifted away in the night wind, leaving clean land behind.

Then, the second dragon, the third dragon...

They fell before the human line of defense, and they couldn't spread their wings well, so they could only endure the bite and bite of the mutants. Some of them were covered with crazy black bodies, rolling all over the ground in pain, and they still didn't forget to vomit. flame.

Layers of aberrations fell, and seething dragonfire lit the night sky.

There are powerful inhibitors that have just been collected in the D5 area. These inhibitors are replaced by conversion agents and are about to be burned, and those soldiers voluntarily injected them, using a more powerful method to protect the integrity of the isolation area.

One after another, young bodies turned into dragons, and full souls were trapped in the new bodies. They also had lovers and relatives, and they also had unfulfilled ideals, but they gave everything bravely without hesitation.

Like everyone in the corridor, Xue Xian was also greatly shocked, unable to speak for a long time.

"See, this place does not belong to human beings, but to the world of dragons." Standing behind him, Lei Li whispered in his ear, "There will be more people...willing to become dragons."
