monster he just wants to be a good guy

I can go. (minor repair)

Dr. Lin hurried over to check whether the doors and windows were closed tightly. After confirming, he made a quiet gesture to them.The gap between the door panel and the ground was filled with all kinds of confetti and iron sheets, and there was no gap left in the whole house. Lu Man couldn't even use his sense of smell to identify what was beyond the thick iron door.

Suddenly there was a creepy sound from a distance, the sound was getting closer and louder, and something rubbed against the iron door panel from time to time to make a clanging sound.The whole door was trembling, making people worry whether the door could withstand that weird squeeze.

Lu Man's eyes did not leave the door mirror, the originally foggy lens suddenly became dark, and something was slowly passing by outside the door.After the shadow faded away, something was stained on the door mirror, which had become blurred.The transparent slime he saw on the road before flashed through his mind.

This monster is so huge that it can fill the entire aisle. Its body is covered with transparent mucus and mist... It should be a precursor to the presence of monsters.Lu Man quickly listed the information in his mind.

"These days are cloudy, and the fog will take at least three days to dissipate. You can't leave for the time being." Dr. Lin tidied up his neckline, which was messed up by Liu Kuangye, "For the sake of food, I I can keep you for a few days."

"Then my father!" Liu Kuangye was still emotional, and his hands were still restrained.He glared at Zheng Qingmiao and broke free.

"Uncle, don't make noise, the big bug will come back." Lin Wan'er made a booing gesture.

Liu Kuangye's aura suddenly dropped, like a deflated ball, he lowered his voice: "Then what about my father's illness..." Uncle Liu was still lying on the bed, frowning.

Dr. Lin raised his eyelids and scanned the people in the living room: "Tell me about the current patient's condition first, and I'll take a look."

Because he was worried that Liu Kuangye would be too emotional and quarrel with the doctor again, Zheng Qingmiao spoke this time and briefly summarized the ins and outs of the matter.

"So, there is an insect egg in his stomach at the moment, and you want me to take it out for him?" Dr. Lin rubbed the center of his brows with some distress, the dark circles under his eyes could fall to his chin, he finally shook his head, " Can't do it."

Before Liu Kuangye had another attack, he continued to add: "It's not that I don't want to, but the current conditions are not allowed. Without anesthesia, the patient will suffer great pain by directly cutting the abdomen to remove the eggs, and the brain will go into shock due to hypoxia. The risk of death is extremely high."

"Can you use wine to get Uncle Liu drunk before dissection?" Li Nan, who had been sitting silently in the corner, took out a bottle of wine from his backpack. This was the last bottle.He pulled the lid off, and the strong smell of alcohol wafted into the air.

"No, my dad can drink a lot. Just this little wine is not enough to stuff his teeth, let alone get drunk!" Liu Kuangye was the first to jump out.

Zheng Qingmiao scratched her head, thought for a while, and asked weakly, "Knock him out...is it okay?"

Dr. Lin vetoed this plan, because Uncle Liu would wake up in pain during the abdominal operation.

"What is the effect of the anesthetic?" Lu Man, who was leaning against the iron gate, suddenly asked such a question.

"Paralyze the nerves, calm the pain." Dr. Lin answered him without hesitation.

"Then I might know where to find this 'numbing medicine'. Everyone looked at Lu Man, waiting for him to continue.

"The strange plant we met in the forest before, its aroma can cause nerve paralysis and loss of consciousness, and its rhizome juice should have the same effect. I fell into the water before because the juice seeped along the wound inside the body, that’s why he fell into a coma.”

Liu Kuangye's eyes suddenly lit up. He had witnessed the whole process of Lu Man fighting the monster and finally drowning.

Dr. Lin was also surprised: "I remember that in the past primitive conditions, there were indeed examples of using Datura flowers and other plants to make anesthetics. I seem to have read it somewhere..." He suddenly tapped his Head, got up and went to another room to rummage.

"Found it!" Dr. Lin turned out a book with yellowed and old pages. Everyone became excited as if they saw hope, and he then poured cold water on them: "But, we have to wait until the fog clears." Only then can we go out."

"Doctor Lin, what happened to the fog and monsters you mentioned earlier? We came here half a month ago, and Wulu Town is not like this." Zheng Qingmiao finally raised the puzzle that had been accumulated in her heart.

Doctor Lin sighed, and recounted what happened in Wulu Town in the past two weeks.

The town had been digging a mine recently, but the mine collapsed two weeks ago.After that, bursts of white mist emerged from the big hole.Most people find it weird and dare not go up to it.There are also a small number of people who touched the fog out of curiosity or sense of responsibility.

There was only fog coming out of the cave, and there was no other movement. Everyone didn't take it seriously at the time. After the investigation, they all went back to their respective homes, and they will deal with the collapsed mine tomorrow.But near noon the next day, there were still a group of people who did not go to work.

So someone knocked on the door of their house, but no one answered. When they opened the door, they found a mess inside.

People, furniture, cats and dogs are missing, even the floor is gone, the walls of the house are empty, the dirt is turned up, and it looks like something has broken the ground from the bottom and eaten the whole house. .

After that, they ushered in a cloudy day.Thick fog enveloped the entire Wulu Town, monsters roamed the streets, and screams sounded from every corner of the town from time to time.

"No one dared to sleep, and everyone forced to open their eyes, for fear that as soon as they closed their eyes, monsters would break through the house or crawl out of the floor and eat us."

"In addition to sleep, food is also a problem. Let alone go out to get this week's food, we dare not even open the doors and windows, and force ourselves to survive on the little food ration left before." Lu Man understood what Dr. Lin said. The reason for being so haggard.

Lin Wan'er stood up suddenly, and hugged her father's arm, as if recalling the dark time before, her head drooped and trembled slightly.Dr. Lin patted his daughter on the back lightly, and his tone became softer.

"The fog lasted for a whole week, and it finally dissipated when the sun came out. Slowly, we discovered the pattern. When it is cloudy, there will be fog. The fog is a precursor to the appearance of monsters. People who are exposed to the fog are more likely to be found by monsters."

"So, you can't go out now. If you go out...you will die."

Liu Kuangye whirled around in circles.He had already known from Lu Man the entire process of the iron nematode parasitic host.Now it is estimated that the eggs have hatched, and the larvae are rooted in the body to absorb nutrients. When the larvae grow into adults, his father's internal organs have long been eaten away by monsters, turning him into an empty shell.

They had already wasted four days on their way, and they could not go out until three days later. It would be almost half a month before they got the juice of the strange plant to make an anesthetic.Can his father survive until then?

Liu Kuangye sat down on the chair, and after his anxiety subsided, only powerless despair remained.He buried his head and tugged at his hair, no longer speaking.Everyone also fell into silence, only Uncle Zhang on the hospital bed was full of painful ravings.

"I can go." Suddenly a voice broke the silence.

All eyes were on Lu Man.

"How old are you, a newborn calf is not afraid of death?" Dr. Lin couldn't help laughing, but when he looked directly into the young man's eyes, he found that Lu Man's eyes were shining with calmness and firmness, and there was no hint of joking.His smile froze on his face.

"No..." Zheng Qingmiao felt dizzy for a while.

"We haven't figured out the characteristics and abilities of the monster yet. It's too dangerous. Lu Man, don't be brave." Zhang Qingyan stood in front of Lu Man.

Lu Man lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then turned to ask Dr. Lin: "I just heard from Dr. Lin that the fog dissipates after the sun comes out. Is it possible that the fog is afraid of fire?"

Dr. Lin was stunned for a while before answering: "It is indeed possible. Lao Li has succeeded before." Lao Li used to stand guard on the fence and was also the most enthusiastic old man in Wulu Town. He tried to use a torch to disperse the fog. , succeeded.

Liu Kuangye was silent with his head down, but when he heard the possibility of going out to get medicine, he raised his head and stood up excitedly.

"I'm going!"

If going out can bring back the hope of life to his father, even if he goes through fire and water, he is willing.

"You are still young, I should go if I want to go." Li Nan, the oldest person in the team except Uncle Liu, stepped forward at this time.

Lu Man waved his hands, now is not the time to give in to each other.

"I'm sure I can come back within three days. You all know that Uncle Liu's body can't last that long. And..."

He didn't explain much, but took out a small knife from his bag, cut a cut in his hand, and showed them.He didn't care about the severity of the attack, the wound was deep enough to see the bone, and the blood spurted out all of a sudden, dripping onto the ground.

Li Nan, Liu Kuangye, and the Lin family's father and daughter all stared wide-eyed, seeing the wound on his palm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Some things are more appropriate for me to do."

"Brother Qingmiao, Sister Qingyan, you said before, let me do what I want to do. Now, I need your cooperation... help me make more torches."

Dr. Lin looked into his smiling eyes, and suddenly remembered that he was also looking through the door mirror in the same way, watching Lao Li hold up the torch and move the people in danger to a safe place.

But in the end, the torches went out.The monster squirmed in the distance, and soon there was a shrill scream.

The light of the fire finally disappeared in the thick fog.Although Lao Li died before the sun fell on the earth, everyone saw through the door mirror, witnessing a hero who struggled against the night.

But the young man in front of him had bright eyes and was holding a torch, so similar to him.

The current scene is also very similar to that time, Dr. Lin can only watch them leave.After all, he is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have the courage to be as dazzling as them.

But when there was a fever, Dr. Lin took out some white paper from the drawer, and wrote down all the medicinal materials involved in that page of the fragmented book, with detailed identification methods and other annotations.

The people around also immersed themselves in collecting things that started the fire.Liu Kuangye was the first to dig out the leftover torch from his bag and stuff it into Lu Man's hand.

Liu Kuangye put Lu Man's shoulders on his shoulders, stared at him deeply, his eyes were slightly red, and finally reached out and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you very much, Lu Man." Liu Kuangye's words fell into his ears very clearly.Lu Man didn't reply, but a smile appeared on his face.

Lu Man opened a small window slit, and a thin mist came in through the slit. He put the lit torch on it, and the mist really receded out of the window.

"Don't worry about me, I promise to return myself to you all intact." Lu Man blinked and spoke lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere.Everyone immersed in tension and worry finally grinned.

"Be careful." Zhang Qingyan told him softly.

"We'll wait for you to come back!" Zheng Qingmiao nodded to him with a hearty smile.

Lu Man responded one by one, grabbed the handle of the iron door, and turned to tell them.

"When I go out later, point the torches at the crack of the door to prevent the fog from running into the house."

Lu Man opened the door a crack and squeezed out.Holding a flaming torch in his hand, he ran towards the long night without looking back.
