MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 58 in hospital
Everything was destroyed, no flare guns, no flares, Shi Yuan didn't know when support would come.
Blood gushed out from Lu Tinghan's abdomen, it was a hideous open wound. There are also wounds in other places, but they are not as terrible as this wound.
Lu Tinghan taught Shi Yuan basic medical knowledge in case of emergency. But Shi Yuan didn't expect that the first time he used it was on Lu Tinghan.
It was like Lu Tinghan could find him every time, but the first time he found Lu Tinghan was in such a situation.
...good thing he found him.
Shi Yuan didn't have saline and bandages, so he tore off his clothes, folded them into pieces and pressed them on. His hands were shaking badly, and he tried his best to press down, but the blood was still flowing, and his hands were soaked in scarlet.
Why can't it stop? he thinks.
Can humans shed so much blood?
It was hot and scorching, almost burning his fingertips. Every small stream of blood gushed out seemed to take away a bit of Lu Tinghan's body temperature, and his body was slowly becoming cold.
There was a rustling sound.
The snake king's head was crushed by the "heavy hammer", and his mountain-like body lay across the wilderness. At this time, gravel rolled down from its body, and the gravel fell to the ground, without wind, and gathered together tremblingly, so countless new rock snakes were born.
The Snake King is dead, but the new life of their group descends with the help of its corpse, like a whale falling in the deep sea, from generation to generation.
Rock snakes surrounded Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan. They twisted, rolled, and entangled with each other, forming a dense sea of snakes. Surrounded by a tide of snakes, a rock snake as large as a small building slowly swam towards them, its vertical pupils staring closely at the two of them.
"...don't come here." Shi Yuan didn't look back, "I will kill you."
The rock snake hissed, his eyes extremely frenzied. The little snakes were also restless, moving faster.
This scene is very strange.
The huge mountain-like rock is the body of the monster, which is endless. Thousands of snakes form the ocean, stacked two or three meters high, they are too restless, the whole world is filled with the sound of rubbing stones and scales, their shimmering pupils and scarlet tongues. And the giant snake propped up its upper body, the bones of its neck stretched out, and the scales made of rocks had arc-shaped growth patterns of crystals. It blocks the sunset and casts a strong shadow on the earth.
Putting anyone here would mean death without a burial, and would be beyond redemption.
But they were suppressed. No matter how much the snake tide surged, they did not dare to approach Shi Yuan, leaving a circular vacuum on the ground.
The giant snake refused to leave, and leaned forward, as if to get closer—
When Shi Yuan turned his head, black mist gushed out of his body. This black mist is obviously silent, but it has strange noises, like the echo of the deep sea, the noise of alien stars, or the sighs of thousands of dead.
At this moment, the sun sank, the sky and the earth were dark, and the darkness was so intense that everything was annihilated here.
Where the mist spreads, the snakes scramble to retreat.
He looked at the giant snake with his dark eyes, and said, "...don't roll away, do you want to die?"
The rock snakes dispersed like birds and beasts.
The wilderness calmed down, Shi Yuan pressed the wound, feeling Lu Tinghan's body temperature turn cold.
The blood is still flowing.
"...Don't die." He heard himself say, "If you die, I can only infect you. Then you will definitely hate me very much." He was stunned for a while, "You will hate me. "
Lu Tinghan didn't respond.
His chest rose and fell weakly.
Shi Yuan said, "Lu Tinghan, can you answer me?"
Still silent. The world is vast and the wasteland is silent.
His humans were dying little by little.
Shi Yuan didn't know how long he waited until the tingling pain in his heart was numb before he heard the ear-piercing sound of piercing the air.
A group of aircraft came from the direction of the city, neatly, and pointed directly at the ruins of the outpost.
Help came.
Even knowing that there are almost no survivors in this situation, help came anyway, without giving up hope.
Shi Yuan's eyes were slightly moist.
He lowered his head, rubbed lightly on Lu Tinghan's palm, and whimpered like a small animal. He and Lu Tinghan said: "They are here, you won't die, right?"
The aircraft landed, teams of soldiers rushed out with guns, and rescuers scattered with small robots.
"Report - there is no sign of rock snake activity within 2 kilometers, rescue immediately!"
"Quick, quick! Search for survivors!"
"Where is the person we saw just now? Where is it?!"
"Life detected - blah blah, right here! Someone's alive! Come here, come here!"
"It's the land general!"
In the panic, the medical staff transferred Lu Tinghan to the aircraft. Someone reacted: "Didn't we see two people on the aircraft? Why did we only find the land general?"
"I don't know, was it taken away by the rock snake? We need to continue the search and rescue! Hurry up and move!"
An aircraft left first, taking Lu Tinghan back to the city for rescue.
It skims the darkest sky.
On the wasteland, the boy stood alone, looking up to watch it leave.
…
Two days later, at the Fengyang City Military Region Hospital.
Shi Yuan stood on the top floor of the hospital. The corridors of the hospital were always pure white and filled with the smell of disinfectant.
The doctor knew him a long time ago: "Are you visiting again? You don't need to stay in the hospital all the time. Someone will notify you if something happens."
"I don't want to go home, not at all." Shi Yuan said, "How is he doing now?"
"He hasn't regained consciousness yet." The doctor said as he walked, "The vital signs are basically stable. You can rest assured that he will wake up soon."
Shi Yuan entered the ICU.
Lu Tinghan was lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by various instruments. He seemed to be asleep, his face was calm, and he exhaled white mist on the oxygen mask.
Shi Yuan didn't know any equipment at first, but in the past two days he worked hard to learn, and got to know ventilators, bedside monitors, electrocardiogram machines, external defibrillators, and a lot of weird medicines.
These cold names made him uneasy.
He forced himself to understand them.
Lu Tinghan still didn't regain consciousness today.
But indeed, as the doctor said, his condition has stabilized, and even Shi Yuan can see that he is no longer so weak.
Shi Yuan sat by the bed for a while, silently accompanying Lu Tinghan.
The visiting time was only half an hour, and he didn't know what to say, so he reached out and gently placed his hand on Lu Tinghan's palm. He didn't dare to clasp Lu Tinghan's fingers forcefully, he only used this way to feel his body temperature to make sure that he was still alive.
He whispered: "Lu Tinghan, I did something bad today. I fell on the third floor of the hospital, and the corner tore a doctor's white robe, and I have to pay for it."
He said: "I have been staying in the hospital. I will only go home in the morning to feed the birds and fish. If you feel unwell, I will be by your side."
He said, "When did you wake up? It's been a long time since no one touched my head."
He got no response.
The visiting time was over, and before Shi Yuan left, he looked back—
The medicinal liquid dripped little by little, and melted into the vein along the transparent tube. The instrument on the bedside draws lines, ups and downs, undulating continuously.
His humans are still alive and will be with him.
He did not return to the loneliness of the thousands of years.
On the fourth day, Lu Tinghan woke up.
His consciousness was still hazy, and he was lethargic most of the time. When Shi Yuan arrived, he happened to fall asleep again.
His face was no longer as pale as paper, but a little bloody.
Shi Yuan sat beside the hospital bed, looked at Lu Tinghan, curled up his tail, and cried softly.
very strange thing. During the three days when Lu Tinghan was dying or completely comatose, Shi Yuan didn't cry, but now that Lu Tinghan was conscious, those sorrows engulfed him instead.
After crying for a long time, he heard a hoarse sound next to his ear: "...why are you crying?"
Shi Yuan suddenly raised his head and saw those gray-blue eyes.
The white mist on the breathing mask appeared and disappeared, Lu Tinghan looked at him: "Don't cry, or I thought you were not happy to see me."
This time Shi Yuan cried even harder, lying on the edge of the bed, crying until his tail got knotted. Lu Tinghan slowly moved his right hand to cover Shi Yuan's hand.
He said, "Don't cry, I'm right here."
They clasped their fingers.
In the following days, Lu Tinghan recovered at an astonishing speed.
He was transferred from the ICU to the general ward. The ward is on the top floor of the hospital. It is large and quiet, and there are countless escorts on call, which can be called luxurious. The Union Admiral deserves all the energy and thoughtfulness.
After just two days, he had the energy to untie Shi Yuan's knotted tail.
Shi Yuan wished he could stay in the hospital for 25 hours, so an extra bed was added to the single ward. The bed was placed by the nurse, and it was originally some distance away from Lu Tinghan, but due to some mysterious power, it would move a little bit towards Lu Tinghan's side every day. And together.
Lu Tinghan still needs to rest adequately, and often sleeps. Every time he wakes up, there must be a pair of black devil horns and a furry head beside the bed.
Shi Yuan probed: "You're awake!"
"Wake up." Lu Tinghan said, and patted Shi Yuan's head.
Shi Yuan: "Hurr, snort, snort."
He snored for a while, then complained again: "You really scared me this time—I'm scared every day."
Lu Tinghan said, "Come closer."
When Shi Yuan approached, Lu Tinghan kissed his face. Shi Yuan's tail immediately waved like a colorful flag.
The abyss is a very coaxable creature!
As a patient who just broke free from the brink of death, besides masturbating Shiyuan, teasing Shiyuan, and coaxing Shiyuan, Lu Tinghan's daily entertainment to decompress, cultivate his sentiments and relax is... listening to battle broadcasts and watching military strategies.
A radio was placed by the bedside, and it never stopped, broadcasting the battle situation every day.
Lieutenant General Fu Xiu was in Fengyang City, following Su Enqi's command, and took over Lu Tinghan's job temporarily. After King Snake's death, the Rock Snake's offensive was not as good as before, and the restlessness in the abyss gradually subsided.
All is well.
This time, the city survived.
Su Enqi was busy directing, so he couldn't visit the doctor in person, so he had a video chat with Lu Tinghan.
He hesitated to speak, stopped talking and wanted to speak again, tangled back and forth until his brows and eyes were wrinkled: "You really are..." He paused for a long time, and sighed, "It's good to be alive, nothing is more important than being alive Don't worry about the war, rest at ease and recuperate, we can win."
Lu Tinghan agreed.
Continue to listen to the battle broadcast, watch military reports as usual, sleep, eat, and masturbate.
—Eating is also a problem.
When Lu Tinghan recovered a bit, the logistics department arranged various nourishing dishes. After the fall of Gleaning City, food resources were extremely limited, but the ward was still filled with the aroma of sparerib porridge, sesame paste, egg custard, and pigeon soup.
Shi Yuan had never seen many things.
Lu Tinghan always asked him: "Do you want to taste it?"
"No." Shi Yuan said, "I have eaten in the hospital cafeteria, they have delicious white steamed buns."
Lu Tinghan took a sip of the pork rib soup, and suddenly said, "This soup seems a bit watery? Please help me taste it." He handed the spoon to Shi Yuan.
Shi Yuan tasted a spoonful: "No, I think it's just right! Why do you think it's weak?"
Lu Tinghan said: "It must be weak, you can taste it again, drink a few more sips and taste it."
Shi Yuan tried again, and took several sips obediently: "No, it's really delicious." He suddenly realized, "You're not tricking me into drinking the soup, are you?"
"How is it possible." Lu Tinghan said, "When people are sick, they lose their sense of taste."
Shi Yuan: "You really didn't lie to me?"
Lu Tinghan: "Do I look like someone who would lie to you?"
Shi Yuan was skeptical: "To be honest, it really looks like... ah!"
His forehead was hit by Lu Tinghan.
As a result, Lu Tinghan's sense of taste has been failing, and Shi Yuan can always eat all his meals.
Shi Yuan said: "You are really pitiful, when will your sense of taste get better?"
"Who knows." Lu Tinghan shrugged, "It seems that I'm really seriously ill. Look at this fried asparagus, is there too much salt added?"
Shi Yuan ate several stalks of fried asparagus, and the fragrant taste was unforgettable.
In the afternoon, Shi Yuan went home on time to feed the fish and the birds.
As soon as he left, the huge ward was empty, only Lu Tinghan was alone. The sun shines into the room through the curtains, but it can't dispel the unique coldness of the hospital.
Lu Tinghan opened the terminal, his eyes fixed on a document.
The document is a record of the battle with the Snake King, which records the whole process of the incident, including the damage range of the "Heavy Hammer" and the rescue situation that day.
Besides Lu Tinghan, there were two other survivors.
The three of them were lucky enough that the outpost was only hit by a shock wave. If the "heavy hammer" landed 500 meters closer to the outpost, no one would be alive.
But luckier than that...
There was a 20-minute gap between the landing of the "heavy hammer" and the arrival of the rescue team. During this time, they were not attacked by rock snakes.
If it is a miracle to survive the shock wave of space-based weapons, then it is almost impossible not to be attacked by monsters, and it cannot convince anyone.
Can't explain it, can't explain it at all.
Outside the strike range of the "Heavy Hammer", there are still a large number of rock snakes active. This kind of greedy monster moves quickly, and it is impossible to give up the prey that is close at hand.
There is another piece of information in the attachment, which is the call records of rescuers.
【…Didn't we see 2 people on the aircraft? Why did you only find the land general? 】
[I don’t know, was it taken away by the rock snake? We must continue the search and rescue! Quick, quick, move! 】
The document also wrote at the end: [After the "Heavy Hammer" landed, the infection wavelength of the No. 0 abyss was monitored, and it had two outbreak peaks, one was within two minutes after the strike of space-based weapons, and the second was at the 14th minute inside】
[After the second eruption, the signs of activity of the rock snakes disappeared, and they seemed to be... running away]
The monitoring personnel told Lu Tinghan like this: "The pollution signal of Abyss 0 is dynamic, and it has moved for a short distance. We have mapped out its moving trajectory... Land general, it finally stopped at your around."
Lu Tinghan: "...by my side?"
"Yes." The inspector was also very hesitant, "Of course, its moving distance is relatively short, and errors cannot be ruled out. But the error is generally within 15 meters. Based on its pollution value, you should have been infected long ago. Of course we know , there was nothing wrong with your blood test results, and this is where the problem lies..."
His tone grew more and more confused.
Lu Tinghan looked down at the documents.
The white light from the screen illuminated his expressionless face.
After ten or twenty days like this, Lu Tinghan was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
Shi Yuan was very happy. To celebrate his discharge from the hospital, he got two pieces of candy from somewhere and shared them with Lu Tinghan.
The candy was fruit-flavored. After Lu Tinghan finished eating, he held the candy wrapping paper in his hand and was about to throw it away, only to remember that the trash can in the room was dirty with soup, and was just taken away by the nurse for washing.
He thought, put the wrapping paper on the bedside first, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Shi Yuan's head popping out from the side of the bed, staring straight at him.
Lu Tinghan asked: "What's wrong?"
Shi Yuan said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Tinghan said, "I'm putting wrapping paper on the bedside table?"
Shi Yuan still looked straight at him, with a serious face and a face of resentment. Those eyes seemed to have accumulated grievances for many years, and they could not forget, with complaints, accusations and accusations, and with resentment like condemning a scumbag, even Lu Tinghan shuddered.
Shi Yuan said, "Lu Tinghan, you can't litter."
