Tick tock, tick tock.
The clock on the wall of the emergency department's waiting area moved. Gu Jun watched the second hand go round and round, and in the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed. His body did not feel any strange sensations, and the tension in his heart gradually eased.
"Number 186, Li Zixuan." Another number was called over the radio. Suddenly, some parents rushed to the emergency room with their children in their arms. Some parents got up and asked the passing nurses in agitation, "Why is it not their child's turn yet?"
The emergency department had a hierarchical number call system. Patients with urgent situations would be called first. However, there were not always so many emergencies in the emergency department. More often than not, there were a large group of children who had a cold and cough, waiting for their number to be called.
Gu Jun was wary of possible conflicts around him. Today was really not a good time to get involved in disputes.
At this time, a ding sound suddenly rang in his mind, and a system notification popped up.
"Your brain stem tumor has been inhibited by drugs and has temporarily stopped growing."
Is that so? Gu Jun immediately opened the system's host information column and observed the changes in his body's indicators. There were no abnormalities, but his heart rate was decreasing.
Tick tock, tick tock.
An hour passed. "Number 208, Zhang Haoxuan."
Two hours passed. "Number 231, Wei Zirui."
Gu Jun sat from morning to noon, and then from noon to evening. He had been in the emergency department for a full ten hours, recording the data of his body on his phone. All the indicators were healthy and stable. He did feel much more comfortable in his head, and the heavy stabbing pain was alleviating.
"The effect of the foreign medicine is really remarkable."
Gu Jun looked at the 33 capsules in a small bottle in his hand. Some of them were obtained from completing missions in the past week. "It seems that it can really be used clinically."
The system did not say how long it would take for his illness to be cured, and he could not understand the words on the medicine box. However, if the foreign medicine could maintain such an anti-tumor effect on his tumor, it was likely that the tumor would slowly shrink until it disappeared. It might take a few months, or a few years, no one knew.
He clenched the bottle in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief. He should not die. The saying that bad people live long lives was true.
"Ah." Gu Jun put away his things, got up, and left. The waiting area behind him was still noisy. It was not easy for the parents and children, and it was really hard for the doctors.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Jun went outside and looked at the blue sky. He had a new mood.
The animal experiments on the foreign medicine had to continue to be done to see the long-term effects. In any case, the naked mice could not eat much powder in a day. Their feeding and medication could be entrusted to the Naked Mouse House. He still had some savings, but he certainly didn't have much free time.
"I want to study medicine well and become a good doctor," Gu Jun said to himself.
It wasn't that he hadn't reflected on his life in the past few years. He even thought that his terminal illness was God's punishment for him.
Now that he had a second chance, he had to seize it and not leave any regrets.
Moreover, there were some things that needed to be investigated.
He knew that the mysterious power of the System was related to the abnormality of the Longkan Submarine Volcanic Belt. There was an anomaly in Longkan, and it was very active. The words of Li Yuerui and the other two also proved this point. They had received some kind of information before they went to explore.
What Gu Jun was most concerned about was whether what happened to his parents had anything to do with this. Where was the Seagull?
"Did Lee Yuerui manage to capture anything?" Gu Jun walked to the shade and pulled out his phone to take a look.
It had been half a month, and Li Yuerui and Wu Dong had not contacted him. He had taken the initiative to knock them on WeChat a few days ago, but they did not reply. When he called them, their phones were all turned off. It was as if the two of them had disappeared from the world.
Because he did not exchange contact information with Lin Xiaotang at that time, he did not know how she was doing.
Gu Jun knew the situation, whether it was the result of Li Yuerui's fracture surgery or the result of the phone.
"Did something happen?"
As Gu Jun walked towards the campus, some thoughts kept popping up in his mind. With the three of them's identity and background, they shouldn't have been kidnapped and locked up, right? Did the helicopter crash that day? Impossible, otherwise the old captain would have gone crazy that night. And there was no news about this.
Suddenly, Gu Jun noticed a man looking at him from the intersection in front of him. The man seemed to be looking at him, and as soon as their eyes met, the man turned and walked away.
He frowned. Something was wrong. This man … It seemed like it was not the first time he had seen this man in the past few days. He had a crew cut, an ordinary figure, and an ordinary appearance. He looked just like a middle-aged uncle, but he felt that there was an indescribable gloominess and strangeness in the man's eyes.
"Am I overthinking it?" Gu Jun shook his head. Recently, he had been a little paranoid because of the illusions …
He kept an eye out and walked back to the campus dormitory apartment area, but he did not see the man again.
Maybe he was just a passerby? His impression of him was just a sense of déjà vu? Gu Jun could not be sure.
The dormitory area was filled with inconspicuous old apartments. Looking around, all he could see were air conditioners, clothes, and protective nets. There were also some balcony plants.
Gu Jun went to the fifth floor of one of the apartments and walked into a dormitory.
The eight-year students also lived in a dormitory of four people. It was not big, and each person had a high bed against the wall and a desk with a wardrobe under the bed. Everyone's desk was filled with all kinds of books, as well as things like stethoscopes, human bone models, and other things that only medical people would have.
It was still summer vacation, so only he and Cai Zixuan lived in the dormitory.
As soon as he walked into the dormitory, Gu Jun smelled a fragrance in the air. He saw Cai Zixuan sitting on the balcony reading a book. There was a purple clay pot next to him. The lid of the pot was turning and crackling, and the water vapor was rising. Gu Jun asked, "Zixuan, what soup are you making?"
Cai Zixuan had a talent for cooking, and he often made soup. Everyone had received a few bowls of soup, so there was no such thing as breaking the rules with electrical appliances.
"Pig kidney, pig liver, and wolfberry soup." Cai Zixuan put down the book in his hand, wiped his tired old face, and said, "Today, the lab next door dissected two pigs. They were both good pigs that had not been treated with medicine. These internal organs were going to be thrown away as medical waste. I saw that everyone was so tired from doing experiments recently, so I suggested to the class monitor that I pick them up and make some soup for everyone to eat at night. The class monitor gave me half a day off. "
"Is there a share for me?" Gu Jun swallowed his saliva when he was tempted by the soup. He was not surprised about the origin of the pig's internal organs. In the past, they had taken the dissected rabbit carcasses from the animal experiment class to make hot pot …
"Yes, there's a big pot. Oh, right. "Cai Zixuan suddenly remembered something." Just now, the mail room sent a package for you. "
"Mail room?" Gu Jun was stunned. He did not buy anything online.
"It's an international package, it's on your desk." Cai Zixuan was also confused. "The lady in charge of the mail room said that this package had been with them for a few days. Because the recipient's information was not clear, she called the dormitory today and confirmed that it was you, so she sent it over."
"Oh?" Gu Jun walked to his desk in confusion. There was a small yellow paper package on the desk. He picked it up and looked at the delivery note. There were English and Chinese, and it was sent from the Maldives … The sender was a string of numbers, '233333', and the recipient was' Eastern University Medical School Mail Room, 8-year student, Gu Jun '.
Maldives?
A thought suddenly rose in his mind. Could it be from Lee Yuerui and the rest?
Gu Jun immediately picked up a pair of scissors from the desk and carefully opened the package. There was a small paper box inside, and he continued to open it.
When he saw the contents of the box, he was shocked and confused …
