Has the captain mutated today? [End Times]

Three months later, Lichun.

Before lunch time, Yang Rui met Shi Qi in the office.

Today is also a day to donate blood.

The research on antibody reagents has entered a plateau, and the current finished product can only prevent Hull's condition from deteriorating further. Yang Rui has to call Shi Qi to draw a small tube of blood every three to five days.

Watching Shi Qi skillfully pick up alcohol swabs and draw blood vessels by himself, Yang Rui sighed: "Why don't you... take it easy next week and don't use it for now."

"I'm fine," Shi Qi shook his head, "I strictly followed the nutrition chart you gave me for everything I ate and drank, and I can continue to draw blood."

Yang Rui sighed in her heart, how can I stop drawing blood, drawing lymph fluid, and slicing cartilage tissue...

The old man didn't bat an eye when he agreed.

As a researcher, she began to worry that she would bring people down.

"...you can't be in a hurry to do research." Yang Rui couldn't help but say a few words to him, "I'm usually very calm, could it be that it's all acting?"

Shiqi's gaze drooped.

Calmness is indeed pretending.

Dark red blood filled the tiny blood vessels.

"I can't do anything else, I can only be active in this kind of thing." He handed the sealed blood vessel to Yang Rui, "I'll leave the rest to you."

The pressure on Yang Rui to carry out the experiment is not great. The key to completely reversing the mutation is hidden in the genes. The plateau is just because the laboratory has not yet been able to locate the group of gene chains, so he can only try one by one in a stupid way.

She's just a little worried about Shiqi now.

Everyone thought he was fine, and Yang Rui also thought he was fine at first.

After all, she had never seen the young man in front of her collapse even once, except for the first time when he ran out of the hospital, he seemed to have completely calmed down.

But as the research progressed forward, Yang Rui still noticed something different.

He didn't calm down, but tensed up to the extreme.

It's actually unnecessary for Yang Rui to persuade him to be too nervous, but she also knows that sometimes it's impossible to persuade people who are on the tip of their horns.

Alas, there are billions of people who are worried.

Yang Rui doesn't know how to comfort people, after much deliberation, it's more reliable to focus on experiments.

It is more practical to find out the gene that can be used as an antibody earlier.

"Do you want to go to the laboratory to accompany him later?" Yang Rui asked after replacing the empty blood vessels in the detector with the full ones, "it would be helpful to talk to him more."

"No." Shi Qi rarely shook his head, "Class is about to start, I have to go to the shooting range."

Yang Rui snorted and asked, "It's been a month, are you still used to being an instructor?"

"It's okay," Shi Qi said while putting down his sleeves and buttoning them up. "Anyway, it's very convenient to go upstairs to the laboratory."

"That's good...you have to take two or three days off next week." Clicking on the latest data summary sent by the laboratory, Yang Rui counted the days, "I need you to do a puncture and extract bone marrow."

"Okay." Shi Qi didn't hesitate, and didn't even frown, "What day is it?"

"Monday."

"Row."

Yang Rui clicked her tongue: "There is nothing else to do for now, the flowers of the motherland are waiting to be fed, so go back to class quickly."

Every time I promise so simply, aren't you afraid that she will do something else with his sample?

Such a desperate look, oh, the stink of love!

*

late summer.

Shi Qi found that he had been dreaming more and more frequently recently.

Sometimes I dream about things from my childhood, sometimes I dream about things in the past, and sometimes I dream about things in the future.

But most of them are entangled with chaotic memories, which are both real and unreal.

Today he dreamed again.

It seems to be related to his parents. He can't remember exactly what he dreamed of, but the strong sadness and resentment linger. After he woke up, he could even touch a trace of moisture in the corner of his eyes.

"... Had a nightmare?" As soon as it was dawn, Hull sat up on the opposite bed.

"...No." Shi Qi scratched his messy hair a little distractedly.

Hull was silent for a moment, then got up and poured him a glass of warm water; when it was handed to him, he sat down on the edge of his bed.

"……thanks."

"What did you dream about?"

Shi Qi narrowed his gaze: "...Did I talk in my sleep?"

"That's not true," Hull shook his head, "I just cried for a long time."

Shiqi: "..."

Suddenly, for no reason, his face became hot.

A big hand patted his back lightly, the palm was very warm: "It's okay, don't cry."

With a tremor in his heart, Uncle Shi flattened his mouth and argued in a low voice: "Who cried? I didn't cry..."

After two or three months of getting along, Hull has already figured out the duplicity of his new roommate, and knew that it is best to follow his hair at this moment, so he followed his words: "Well, you didn't cry."

Then the dormitory returned to silence.

"...I dreamed of going out to play with my mother." After a while, the young man whispered, "Then she left, and then I couldn't find her again."

Hull had no concept of such things as parental affection, and he didn't quite understand why people who were sunny and cheerful during the day suddenly became so sad.

But he knew he didn't want to see him so depressed.

"...Dreams are just the irregular activities of brain nerves in sleep," he comforted awkwardly, "dreams are not real."

Shi Qi sniffed: "Well, I know."

"It's just that in reality, I too... can't find her anymore..."

Hull looked at the man with his head down in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hug him.

Shi Qi froze all over.

"It's all right," he repeated along his back, "it's all right."

"...I miss her very much." After a long time, the young man in his arms finally relaxed, and his furry head rested on Hull's shoulder in frustration. "I really miss her very much."

He just continued to pat him on the back tenderly: "well, it's all right."

"do not Cry."

The screen turns -

He sat in a white laboratory and reported his daily life to the sleeping people.

"The college is quite reassuring."

"There is one...Wei Ping, do you still remember? He likes to make trouble, and today he clamored to compare me to a moving target..."

"But don't worry, although your boyfriend was honorably laid off from the position of a sniper at a young age, this little challenge has not been taken seriously."

He won't get an answer, but continues on.

"The council area has already started to implement the cleanup and recycling plan. Coke and the others only come back once a month or so."

"It's Lin Pin's set."

"The impact of infrasound on Ohm is beyond doubt. Many researchers who participated in the research and development of reversal reagents have been transferred to the board of directors and have gone to study AlphaWave. They may continue to be developed as weapons in the later stage, but it has little to do with us..."

"Speaking of the council area, Yang Rui will go to the council area in the spring of next year, saying that he is going to be the chief."

"Actually, she can go there this year, but her parents are old, and the winter in the council area is too tough. She has to wait until it gets warmer before bringing her family there."

Speaking of this, Shi Qi coughed lightly: "Hull, guess what day it is today?"

"Today is my birthday."

"I'm making a wish now, you should know what to make."

"I promise..."

"I promise you to wake up early."

The screen turns again——

It was still just dawn, and Shi Qi huddled up on the bed.

The stomach cramps were so severe that it woke him up abruptly.

Cold sweat broke out layer by layer, and the fingers grasping the quilt were so hard that the knuckles turned white, and they didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

Then the dormitory door was pushed open.

Hull came back early with a hot meal, and saw the person curled up on the bed: "...stomach pain?"

"...Hmm." A muffled answer came from under the quilt.

Hull seemed to sigh, put the lunch box and milk on the table, sat on the edge of the bed, fished the man out of the quilt, and then reached into the hem of the young man's pajamas, with warm palms attached to the smooth abdomen On the muscles, slowly knead clockwise.

"Don't eat spicy food at night in the future."

"...I got it, I got it," the person on the bed agreed absent-mindedly, and his cool paws also penetrated into the other person's clothes, and he smirked twice, "...so warm..."

Hull: "..."

Then the flailing paws in the clothes touched a piece of gauze.

"Are you injured?" The surprised paw didn't dare to move any more, "How did you do it?"

"...Small injury, I'm fine."

Shi Qiyi Gulu sat up, pulled out his hand, and there were wet marks on his fingertips, "...It's all oozing blood, is it okay?!"

Mo Lan's eyes avoided his gaze: "I'm fine."

Shi Qi endured and endured, so he didn't ask him where he went in the middle of the night, and why he was always injured when he came back.He bent down and pulled out the medicine box from under the bed, took clean gauze and bandages, and said angrily, "...Lie down."

He didn't know what he was angry about.

The thought of him getting hurt and not making a sound made him angry.

It made me even angrier to buy breakfast for myself without saying a word.

"You don't have a stomachache anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore." In fact, it still hurts, but I don't know why it seems to make my liver hurt even more, "Lie down."

Hull lay down next to him, and Shi Qi lifted his clothes, revealing the blood-soaked bandages.

Uncle Shi wrinkled his face, and his actions seemed rough but were extremely light and untied the bandages that had been rolled up hastily.

"...Hoohoo," after neatly re-bandaging, he finally bent down and blew, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

……

When Shi Qi really opened his eyes, it was pitch black outside the window, and it was still dark.

The alarm clock at the bedside showed that it was only past three o'clock in the morning. He sat up slowly, and touched the corners of his eyes.

Dry.

Did not cry.

There is no one who can coax him to hug him and buy him breakfast.

Sighing, Shi Qi lay down again, forcing himself to close his eyes.

He must maintain good health in all aspects of his body in order to continue to cooperate with Yang Rui's experiment.

Soon, Uncle Shi closed his eyes and hypnotized himself, and soon the person who coaxed him came back.

*

In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn again.

The experiment was also progressing smoothly. In mid-September, the reversal reagent was released. After the injection, the scales and arms and legs on the surface of Hull's body had disappeared.

The mutation was reversed, and his vital signs were very stable.

Just no sign of waking up yet.

The secondary mutation did some damage to the brain. Although the reversal reagent was repairing the damage, Yang Rui was not [-]% sure... Hull who woke up would be no different from before.

Things like self-awareness want to return to their original state...

The only way out is to wait, only to wait until all the damage is repaired.

She talked about this issue with Shi Qi.

"Then... is there anything else I can do?" Shiqi asked seriously, "Is there anything else I can do?"

Yang Rui was absolutely sure at the time that even if she wanted the stars and the moon, the young man in front of her would find a way to get them.

but……

Yang Rui glanced at the person who was transferred from the fixed frame to the hospital bed, and said honestly: "What he needs most now is time."

"You are doing very well now, come and talk to him every day."

"If you have to do something else, just...be patient."

"And don't put too much pressure on yourself."

*

Time flies like a white horse.

A year passed quietly like this.

Shi Qi took the ID card, swiped it on the operating table, and after pressing a few buttons familiarly, he successfully unlocked the electronic shackles on the railing of the hospital bed.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled a stool and sat beside him, then slowly and reverently clenched that big hand with well-defined knuckles.

The temperature of the palm with thin calluses was on the high side, warm, and Shi Qi's cold hand was exactly the same as in memory.

The last rays of the setting sun slipped in through the gaps of the shutters, dyeing the pure white environment with a hint of warm orange.

"Today is the last day of this year. The college is on holiday. I went to give Xiaoxiao a gift at noon, and then he took me to play all afternoon, so I came late today..."

The people on the stool began to report as usual.

The warm hand clasped his hand weakly, motionless.

Before I knew it, the afterglow also disappeared, and the moon climbed high into the sky.

Shi Qi spoke very slowly about the new trivia that happened today.

But what happened in a day was limited after all, no matter how slow he spoke, he still finished speaking.

After finishing speaking, there was a long and difficult silence.

"Captain..." Shi Qi looked at the dark night outside the blinds and said softly, "...I have a stomachache."

However, apart from the faint but rhythmic beeping sound of the electrocardiograph, there was no other sound in the room.

"...It really hurts." He lowered his head and sucked his nose. "You rub it for me."

Hull closed his eyes and breathed steadily, as if he was asleep, completely unresponsive.

After a while, Shi Qi laughed at himself, and muttered, "I'm really going crazy." Then he squeezed the unresponsive fingers in his hand, and kissed the back of his hand with blue veins attached.

"It's New Year's Eve again," he said cheerfully, "You're going to celebrate your birthday soon!"

"Captain, do you have any birthday wishes?"

The dark night sky outside the window was suddenly lit up by something.

"... Coke talked about a girlfriend, who was Comrade Xiao Zhu from Team [-] before. Now he is so devoted to his girlfriend that he no longer cares about bragging about my rainbow farts." Shi Qi seemed to remember something , couldn't help chuckling, "At that time I told you that there was something wrong between the two of them, but you still didn't believe it."

"Sister Qin's husband is almost recovering from his illness. Lao Jiang...Lao Jiang seems... Well, the matter of Lao Jiang has not been settled yet, but the ex-teammates and the families of the ex-teammates are more up-to-date than you..." Shi Qi shook regretfully Shaking his head, but unconsciously clenched his hands even tighter, "Others spend New Year's Eve always loving each other, or me, the lonely little pitiful one who stays alone in an empty room, washing his face with tears every day, almost turning into a stone of hope ..."

Hull's hair has grown a lot, which makes his peaceful sleeping face softer.Shi Qi stretched out his hand to straighten the hair around his ear, and whistled: "After waking up, let's go cut our hair, it's more cool to be shorter."

From the window, I can see that the outside is now brightly lit.

Shi Qi raised his hand and rubbed some dry eye sockets, and continued to babble nonchalantly: "I'll settle the score with you when you wake up, I still remember the matter of the reservoir clearly, don't think that throwing a word and telling me to shoot is over. It's..."

The colorful fireworks began to explode in the air one after another. Listening carefully, it seems that you can hear the happy frolicking of children and the cheers of adults.

When Shi Qi came in, he didn't turn on the light, and now the huge laboratory was flickering with the fireworks outside.

"Happy New Year to you." After being quiet for a long time, he looked at the bright fireworks that almost covered the sky full of stars, and continued to whisper into the air, "Happy birthday to you too, my love."

The ECG is still thinking rhythmically, one sound, one sound, non-stop, neither light nor heavy.

For a while, there was only deafening silence around.

It wasn't that Shi Qi didn't want to talk, it was that he didn't know what to say.

More than 300 days and nights, what can be said, what cannot be said; good words, bad words; good words, bad words; praise, curse... He has said all the words, but the person on the bed still has no response , refused to wake up from a deep sleep.

"I don't know if his autonomous consciousness will be fully restored, but the only way to be sure is that you keep trying to awaken his consciousness again." Yang Rui said, "It stands to reason that the abnormality stimulated by the synthetic serum now The change has been completely reversed, he should have woken up, but it cannot be ruled out..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

"But it doesn't rule out that his consciousness has died, right?" Shi Qi remembered being extremely calm at the time, "I can't be sure, right? So I can only try again and again."

"Well, after all, before the injection of the reagent, even though his behavior looked regular, it was actually a random emotional projection." Yang Rui nodded without concealing it, "He... may also become a vegetable."

"It's a lie... Didn't it say that true love is invincible?" Shi Qi took a deep breath, and then let out a long breath slowly, "Is it because I don't love you enough or you don't love me enough?"

"Didn't you say you were reluctant to leave me?"

"What's so good in the dream? So good that you can't bear to open your eyes and look at me?"

"I really..." Emotions were overwhelming, Shi Qi couldn't continue, he rubbed his face irritably, and fell silent again.

"I really miss you so much." After a long time, he took deep breaths many times before he opened his mouth, and said calmly and slowly, "Thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable, thinking about it... "

His voice was very soft, like a lover's murmur when they were rubbing each other's ears: "I can't even cry when I think about it."

"Hull, can you not leave me alone..."

"Can you……"

The whispering stopped abruptly.

Shi Qi's gaze lowered unbelievably, but the feeling of being held backwards was still very clear.

He pinched himself almost subconsciously.

It hurts, it hurts.

His vision blurred in an instant, and the emotions that had been suppressed just now burst out violently.

"Seven,"

Familiar voice, familiar tone... Shi Qi raised his head suddenly, tears streaming down his face without realizing it, just like that, he was caught off guard into a pair of deep, dark blue eyes.

Like the sky before dawn, the love that has been suppressed all night is hidden.

"Don't cry."

(whispered) You can also bookmark the author's column

When writing the outline, the author decided to stop here and answer the name of the text. The number did not make the captain mutate in the end, and successfully helped him get rid of the sequelae left on him by the early experiments. Now people who love each other can live a happy life together. .

The next thing is the daily episode~ If there is no accident, it should be about five or six articles. There will be a greasy and crooked daily life, and some background stories will be explained. Interested little angels, please continue to pay attention.
