Consciousness gradually returned, and when Ying Xize noticed the surrounding environment, he was a little dazed, and soon realized where he was.

Looking down at the data tube connected to his body, he felt the little silver snake entangled beside him gently licking his skin with the tip of his tongue.

After a while, I saw Ji Song walking in anxiously surrounded by a group of people.

Originally, he wanted to say something, but Ying Xize fell into a drowsy sleep again under the dizziness welling up in his mind.

Vaguely, one can feel that the surroundings are in chaos again.

For the next two days, Ying Xize basically fell asleep longer than he woke up.

When the heat in the whole body completely recedes and the most tormenting period passes smoothly, the whole state will be officially adjusted.

It can be felt that this wave really frightened Ji Song, and he accompanied him almost non-stop, until Ying Xize finally got out of bed smoothly, and there was still some self-reproach in his tone: "I knew I shouldn't have let you go with me at that time, but luckily I was fine in the end, otherwise I can't imagine what the consequences would be."

Ying Xize no longer lay on the hospital bed, but sat on the table next to him and drank porridge.

The loose clothes on his body made him look extraordinarily thin. It was not the first time he had experienced such a "swallowing period". He didn't have too many mood swings and just stated a fact: "If I didn't go, this time It is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out."

Ji Song was silent.

He knew it was also true.

He squatted down and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Responding to Xi Ze's inquiring gaze, he asked without answering, "The days of this month just happen to be almost the same, X experiment?"

Ji Song said: "Your current state is not suitable. It just so happens that everyone is busy processing the tissue samples brought back from the Chenshan Cave. I have already informed them to cancel this month's experiment plan."

Ying Xize nodded, acting quite easygoing: "Then I'll go back after lunch."

Ji Song also knew that Ying Xi Ze didn't like staying here very much, so he nodded, "Alright, let Jiayan see you off."

Ying Xize said, "No need, I'll go back by myself."

Ji Song didn't insist, and repeatedly confirmed that Ying Xize's test data had returned to stability, and then stored all the data.

On the way, I received a call from the department next door, and after a brief confession, I left with the others in a hurry.

Ying Xize watched his teacher, who was always working hard, leave, and slowly swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in his mouth.

The door of the room opened, and a young girl in a research uniform walked in poking her head.

After meeting Ying Xi Ze's gaze, his face became slightly heated, and his voice couldn't help stammering: "Sir, these are the clothes for you."

Ying Xize looked down at the neatly folded clothes in her hands, and slowly tickled the corners of his cold mouth, his tone was full of rigor: "Thank you, but remember in the future, please come here. Call me 'Number One'."

When Xiang Jiayan came, he happened to see the back of the little girl leaving with her face covered.

He stopped at the door for a moment and looked at the people inside: "You seem to have scared her."

Ying Xize was noncommittal, and his slightly pale face made him look even more impersonal: "Nothing in the X laboratory is brought to the outside world. This is a good rule established when it was first established."

Xiang Jiayan met his gaze: "...you are right."

Ying Xize picked up the clothes on the bed and stood up: "If there is nothing else, I'll go back first."

Ying Xize did not ask Xiang Jiayan to send him off.

After going out, he found a relatively busy intersection, and he took a taxi.

The sun left a lingering heat on the skin.

After the car set off, he leaned on the back seat and slowly closed his eyes.

During these days of coma, just surviving the "swallowing period" that was more intense than ever before had consumed a lot of his physical strength.

But what was more tormenting than that was the instinctive fear, which was the subconscious rejection of the zero gene. During the whole few days of sleep, he seemed to fall into the same dream all the time in a drowsy state. The memories squeezed deep in my mind circled again and again, no matter how hard I struggled, it was useless.

"Sir, here we are."

The voice of the taxi driver brought back Ying Xize's thoughts.

He looked up at the familiar dormitory building on the side of the road, and quickly completed the payment of the travel expenses.

Probably because his condition didn't look too good, the taxi driver couldn't help asking: "Can I go up, do you want me to see you?"

Ying Xize replied: "Thank you, no need."

The rental house is in a relatively old, old-fashioned community, and there is not even an elevator in it.

This is obviously not too friendly for a person who just woke up from a high fever.

Although Ying Xize refused other people's help, but he walked up to the fifth floor by himself, and he still couldn't help breathing a little.

Seeing that he was on the last step, he was about to reach for the key, but when his eyes fell on the figure at the corner, he couldn't help but pause in surprise: "Squad? Why are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Fengzhou, who was squatting at the door of his room a moment ago, had already walked up to him.

With a force in his hand, he directly pulled the person over.

Ying Xi Ze bumped into the man's chest without noticing, and the faint shock caused his vision to flicker slightly.

Then I heard Su Fengzhou's voice from above my head: "Don't stand by the stairs, be careful of falling down."

Ying Xize was stunned for a moment, and then realized belatedly, probably because his current weak willow Fufeng looks too precarious.

He raised his eyes and finished asking what he said just now: "Why are you here?"

Su Fengzhou couldn't find Ying Xize in the Ningcheng Research Institute, so he managed to get the address of the rental house through hard and soft tactics.

At this time, I have been squatting at the door for a few days, and I only reacted when I heard Ying Xize's question. For a while, I didn't know how to answer: "... Just, come and see you."

Ying Xi Ze's scrutinizing gaze passed over Su Fengzhou's face, seeing the usually arrogant and reckless man's words flickering at this time, a smile could not help but float in his indifferent eyes.

After inserting the key into the hole and turning it twice, he turned his body slightly when he pushed the door and walked in: "Come in and sit down."

Su Fengzhou followed with steps.

The two entered the room one after the other, the whole process was naturally a bit excessive, and they did not mention what happened in the crypt very tacitly.

Ying Xize's residence is much simpler than Su Fengzhou imagined.

Even apart from the most basic accommodation equipment, there is not much extra life atmosphere, even the table is only covered with a tablecloth, and there are no other extra decorations.

However, Su Fengzhou's attention was obviously not on these things.

From the first time he saw Ying Xize, he had been silently sizing up Ying Xize's condition.

It can be seen that the spirit is not as bad as he imagined, but it is indeed not much better. Basically, it can be put at the door of the hospital and coughed a few times, and can be carried to the emergency department.

I haven't seen him for a while, but I always feel that I have lost a lot of weight. The most important thing is that he vaguely remembered the serious injury on his chest...

After Su Fengzhou looked at his chest for countless times, Ying Xize finally met his gaze directly: "Quiet Su, is there something on my chest?"

Su Fengzhou cleared his throat, and said frankly: "...I just thought, you were seriously injured at the time."

Ying Xize said: "The injury was serious, so I stayed with the teacher for a few more days."

Su Fengzhou: "Then now?"

Ying Xi Ze raised his eyebrows.

He didn't answer, but he seemed to be asking from his expression: Can't you see it yourself?

Su Fengzhou found a comfortable position and sat on the sofa: "I admit, your current state does look pretty good, but it's definitely not good enough to let you run around by yourself. Xiang Jia said Don't you always stay with you every step of the way, how come you don't see anyone at this time?"

"I didn't let him follow." Ying Xize looked at the person in front of him who seemed to be going to hang on for a while, frowned, and asked bluntly after all, "Su team said he wanted to come and see me, now People have seen it, what else is there?"

"It should be fine, but I changed my mind just now." Su Fengzhou leaned forward slightly in his sitting posture, and thus got a little closer to Ying Xize, "So, do you mind if I stay here for a few days? , just sleep on the sofa."

Before Ying Xi Ze could say "mind" on his lips, he quickly continued to answer: "I'm not talking to each other, I should trust my own personal judgment more than blindly listening to what you say .At least in my opinion right now, I don’t feel comfortable letting you live here alone.”

Su Fengzhou raised his eyes lazily: "In order to thank you for saving the lives of all the executives on this mission, I didn't say anything to anyone, but you and I should both know it well. Yours are actually not the thorns around you...Mr. Ying, I don’t know why you didn’t become alienated after being infected, but one thing is certain—you and the monster that controls the tentacles know each other.”

These words were spoken very casually, with the usual domineering arbitrariness.

During the whole process, Su Fengzhou kept paying attention to the changes in Ying Xize's expression.

But it's a pity that the other party's eyes still maintain that indifference from beginning to end.

As if he didn't find it strange at all about his discovery.

It took a long time for Ying Xi Ze to speak, with a blunt attitude that was almost equivalent to acquiescence: "So, is the old team planning to expose me?"

"If you want to expose it, you don't need to wait until now." Su Fengzhou said, "My request is very simple, that is, let me stay with you for a few days to make sure that you have passed the alienation crisis safely, and then you don't have to You will leave on your own if you hurry. Of course, if you really don’t want to take me in, you may have to make a floor bunk at the door.”

Ying Xize: "..."

Although it is an old community, if residents come and go and see a man lying in front of his house, it is still a weird topic that is easy to spread.

For a while, he really couldn't figure out what Su Fengzhou was thinking: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Su Fengzhou was frank: "Actually, I didn't choose to report what I knew as soon as I woke up. From a certain point of view, it has violated my rules. But judging from the current situation, Dean Ji probably also knows Regarding these 'secrets', as for the specific situation, there is a high probability that you will not answer, and I don't want to delve into it, but the only thing that is clear now is that my intuition tells me that I cannot leave you here alone, and this is probably what I want to do. "

A sneer rose from the corner of Ying Xize's mouth: "So, are you going to monitor me instead of Xiang Jiayan?"

What does it mean to monitor him instead of Xiang Jiayan?

Su Fengzhou was surprised for a moment by the captured meaning, but he quickly denied, "No, I just want to take care of you."

Under Ying Xize's gaze, he cleared his throat and added an extra sentence: "It can also be understood as expressing gratitude for the life-saving grace in the cave."

Ying Xize said: "I think it's more like revenge for kindness, I don't need to take care of it."

Su Fengzhou stared at Ying Xize's calm expression, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is that so? Hmm—?"

The surrounding was subtly quiet for a moment.

Finally, in the silent confrontation, Ying Xize made a compromise: "I can only sleep on the sofa."
