356 A Family Without Blood Relations
Lu Xun sighed and said, “I live with Dapeng. Every night, he would groan in pain in the second half of the night. He’s been trying his best to restrain himself. He doesn’t want to affect the rest of us. During the day, he can only sit up straight, afraid that someone will ask him if he’s feeling unwell.” Lu Xun’s eyes reddened as he spoke.
Yu Xinya reached out and patted his shoulder. “Don’t cry. Isn’t Dapeng getting better soon?”
Lu Xun reached out to wipe his tears. “Yes, yes, yes. Look at me. Why am I crying at such a good time?! Dapeng is about to recover. I should be laughing!”
Du Yue listened quietly at the side, and her heart was touched. Although they were not related by blood, they were already the closest family after experiencing the apocalypse together. Seeing how worried and understanding they were for each other, how could they not be moved?! The man in a white coat walked over to them. “After he goes in, he’ll sleep in the treatment chamber for a week. During this period, he doesn’t need anyone to take care of him, so even if you stay here, you can only accompany him. You can’t take care of him. If you want to stay, you’ll have to solve the problem of food by yourself. You can only find a corner to sleep in.”
!!
After Yu Xinya listened to him seriously, she nodded at him to express her grat.i.tude. “Thank you for the reminder. I still want to wait here for him to come out.”
The man in a white coat nodded and did not say anything else. “It’s fine as long as you’ve decided. I’ll be leaving first.” He turned around and left after saying that. The others also left. At this moment, other than the treatment chamber not far away, only Du Yue and the others were left in the room.
The lights above their heads were so bright that the entire room was illuminated. It had been a long time since Yu Xinya had stayed in such a clean and tidy place. Looking around, Yu Xinya said to Du Yue and the others, “You guys go back first. Lu Xun, drive them back. When Dapeng comes out, I’ll call you again. You can drive over to pick us up then.”
This was what they had discussed before coming here, so Lu Xun nodded obediently after hearing this. He had no objections.
Du Yue had also seen the appearance of the treatment chamber as she wished, so there was naturally no need for her to remain here. “Sister Yu, take good care of yourself here. If there’s anything He Xing and I can help with, just call us at any time.”
Yu Xinya smiled and nodded. “Okay. If I need help, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Go back quickly.”
After a simple farewell, Du Yue and the other two turned around and walked out of the room, following the path they came from. Along the way, they met many people in white coats. Each of them had their heads lowered and walked in a hurry, looking very busy.
Lu Xun looked at their pa.s.sing figures and could not help but praise them, “These scientists are really working hard. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have the treatment chamber and Dapeng wouldn’t be able to recover so soon.”At this point, Lu Xun paused for a moment before continuing, “There’s also that captain called An Wu. He’s a good person. If it weren’t for him providing resources, I don’t think the treatment chamber would have been successfully developed.”
Hearing Lu Xun’s heartfelt praise, Du Yue knew that An Wu’s trick to win over people’s hearts was considered a success. After all, most of the people in the base did not know the truth like Lu Xun. They only read the official announcement and found out about the existence of the treatment chamber. Naturally, they felt that An Wu was a living Buddha who worked for everyone’s health. If things went on smoothly like this, more and more people would try out the treatment chamber, and more and more people would believe in An Wu.
When Lu Xun said this, the three of them were standing at the entrance of the elevator, waiting for it to come up. Before the elevator arrived, a voice sounded from behind. “From the looks of it, you admire Captain An very much?”
Du Yue was attracted by the voice behind her. She turned around and saw a man standing less than five meters away from them.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall and wore a dark green uniform. He had a strong figure and was very handsome. Although his face was well-defined, because he was always smiling when he spoke, he did not give people a sense of distance. Instead, he gave people a feeling of wanting to get close to him.
