"How is Jiayi?" Zhao Yali asked as soon as she saw Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan shook his head and told her about Chen Jiayi's condition.
There was a moment of silence. Chen Jiayi did not talk much and did not have much presence at home. However, she had always been obedient and considerate. Everyone was upset when something like this happened.
"Let's go to the hospital!" Huang Jiahui said after a while.
"That's a good idea!" Luo Yuan nodded and said.
Although he did not think that going to the hospital would be of any help, he had the ability to modify his genes and his understanding of the human body. However, going to the hospital was still a ray of hope.
Everyone moved quickly. Luo Yuan carried Chen Jiayi on his back and rushed to the hospital. The mutated woman tried to follow them, but she was mercilessly locked in the door. She was so anxious that she screamed.
Not long after, the group arrived at the hospital.
The hospital was not far from the residential area. It was only about three to four kilometers away. However, it was Luo Yuan's first time there. Compared to the crowded and bustling hospitals before the apocalypse, this place was undoubtedly much quieter. Most of the people who came to the hospital were couples who were doing IVF and volunteers. There were only a few patients, and most of them were injured.
Nowadays, the diet was rich in active energy, and the human body was much stronger than before the apocalypse. Even an ordinary person who did not exercise could be as strong as an athlete before the apocalypse.
After all, most human diseases were caused by viruses and bacteria. Of these two types of microorganisms, the former had a simple structure and the antidote virus that caused the mutation, so they could not affect each other.
If there was a creature that was completely unaffected by the antidote virus, it would be the virus itself.
As for bacteria, the human body's overall immunity was enough to resist the invasion of most of the bacteria.
Although the medical services in the hospital were quiet, all kinds of equipment were quite complete. There was not much queue, so Chen Jiayi quickly went through a comprehensive examination.
After about four to five hours, the report was finally out.
Her body's indicators were normal, and some of them were even better than ordinary people. There was no obvious disease in her brain, but her brain waves were a little messy. The final diagnosis was that she was quite healthy. As for why she had not woken up yet, there were only some possibilities and guesses.
Luo Yuan refused the doctor's suggestion to stay in the hospital and carried Chen Jiayi home again.
He knew very well why Chen Jiayi's brain waves were in disorder. This was undoubtedly the result of his will invasion. It did not matter whether she stayed in the hospital or not. If he wanted her to wake up, he could only rely on time to wear down his remaining will and awaken her desire to live.
To some extent, her symptoms were no different from those of a vegetable. Of course, this vegetable was a pathological vegetable.
…
Luo Yuan carried Chen Jiayi back to the bed and covered her with the blanket. Before he left, he could not help but look at her face. Her eyes were closed and her face was young. She was sleeping peacefully like a little white flower that had bloomed by the roadside. He sighed and walked out of the room alone.
He suddenly had the urge to smoke, but he resisted it in the end.
In the post-apocalyptic world, he had seen too much suffering. Even death was a common occurrence. Logically speaking, his heart was already as hard as iron. However, there were people who were close and distant, and there were also feelings.
Even if you were out fighting the heavens, the earth, and the air, killing until there were corpses everywhere and blood flowed like a river, you would still feel lonely as a master. When you returned home, you would still be an ordinary person. When someone he was used to suddenly having such a problem, he still felt a little depressed.
…
The next morning, Luo Yuan quietly got up and put on his clothes.
He helplessly looked at the mutated human who had also stood up. Last night, when he went to sleep, he had deliberately locked the door in order to prevent her from entering again. However, he could not stop her at all. With just a slight twist, the wooden door lock, which was only for decoration, was easily destroyed by her.
Luo Yuan stared at her. The mutated woman avoided his gaze and yawned as if nothing had happened.
These days, she had become more and more human-like. She was also less and less afraid of Luo Yuan. Even the cautious habits that she had developed in the jungle had disappeared.
Luo Yuan pulled up his pants and put on his shoes. He picked up his Zhanmadao and walked out. After washing up, when he was about to reach the door, he felt something tugging on his leg. He lifted his leg slightly, but she refused to let go. Luo Yuan did not want to deal with the increasingly mischievous mutated woman, so he dragged her a few steps and moved all the way to the door.
He opened the door and, with a straight face, gestured toward her bedroom.
The mutated woman shook her head and imitated Luo Yuan, pointing at the door and hissing anxiously.
She was getting better and better. She could even speak sign language. Luo Yuan thought to himself.
Perhaps it was because they first met, the mutated woman had always been more attached to him. Even though she played with Wang Shishi the most, she would immediately follow him whenever he came back.
Perhaps it was because he had not returned for a long time and she was very worried about him. This time, she was especially persistent. Although he sympathized with her, Luo Yuan did not want to bring the mutated woman out.
Moreover, he had another purpose this time. She would not be able to survive in the cruel environment.
With a straight face, he untied his hand that was holding on to her pants and raised his hand to strike her. The mutated woman was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back.
Luo Yuan took the opportunity to quickly walk out of the room and quickly closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, the mutated woman immediately became dejected. She looked like an eggplant that had been hit by frost. She moved her body listlessly and returned to her room.
...
After Luo Yuan left Hope City, he went straight to the wilderness.
Not long after, he stopped and looked up at the sky. His heart was beating fast.
Today, he wanted to go into space to do some adaptive training. As an interstellar creature that had been evaluated by the system, it would be ridiculous if he had never been to space before. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could really survive in space and how long he could survive.
He untied the bandage. Initially, when he activated his four-dimensional senses, his Stamina was drained like a flood. His body inevitably had a momentary sense of exhaustion. However, at this moment, he did not feel it at all. It was no different than when he had not activated his four-dimensional senses. The consumption of Stamina was nothing compared to the 30 points of Stamina. Perhaps, the speed of Stamina consumption could not even keep up with the speed of recovery.
Luo Yuan took a few deep breaths and immediately activated his space-time bubble.
If the atmosphere was subdivided, there would be a total of five layers, namely the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere and exosphere.
However, to Luo Yuan who was moving at a high speed, the atmosphere was just a blink of an eye. Before he could even increase his speed, he had already reached the exosphere. As he continued to accelerate, the Earth beneath his feet gradually shrunk, revealing its entire body.
He could not help but turn his head to take a look. A huge ball had occupied his entire vision. It was like a huge and glowing disc, it looked stunning and magnificent.
Luo Yuan had seen many pictures of the Earth taken from space. However, when he stood in space and looked at it with his naked eye, the shock of the two-dimensional picture was far from what he could imagine.
The air there was extremely thin and it was defined as space.
The originally blue sky had now become a patch of darkness, and it was dotted with countless stars. It looked tranquil and serene.
There was a scorching white fireball above his head, emitting a blazing light. Without the refraction and filtering of the atmosphere, the sun looked smaller than it did on Earth. However, its light was more dazzling.
20 minutes later, his speed had finally reached its limit. He was flying at a speed of 150 kilometers per second.
After all, it was his first time stepping into space and he was not confident. For safety reasons, he dared not stray too far away from the Earth. He maintained his speed and flew for more than a minute before he immediately deactivated his space-time bubble.
The air that was originally wrapped in the space bubble instantly dissipated in the vacuum. Even the remaining air in his lungs was quickly squeezed out by the pressure.
It was a rather unpleasant feeling, as if something was being pulled out of his body, making him feel slightly uncomfortable. However, he had to admit that this body was quite strong. Not long after, he had completely adapted to it.
The mitochondria in his cells could break down water molecules. At the same time, it could also produce oxygen. To him, the vacuum was no longer a forbidden zone.
His body floated slowly under the weak gravitational pull of the Earth.
There was no direction, up or down. For Luo Yuan who had long gotten used to the gravitational pull of the Earth, his body could not adapt to the gravitational pull in such a short period of time. No matter where he stood, he felt uncomfortable and could not adapt.
Moreover, it was too quiet here. He could not hear anything at all. After staying for only half an hour, Luo Yuan started to have goosebumps. He started to imagine. In such an environment where it was absolutely quiet, if he did not do anything, the endless loneliness would really drive him crazy.
At this moment, he saw something floating slowly towards him. With his sharp eyesight, he took a closer look. It seemed to be an abandoned man-made object. Luo Yuan concentrated his Will and flew towards it. In space where there was not much gravitational pull, he could continue to accelerate with just a little bit of force. This allowed his Will to fly at an astonishing speed.
Soon, he approached the object. It was an abandoned satellite and Luo Yuan could see the logo of the European Union on it.
At this moment, the solar panels on both sides of the satellite were charred. Apparently, it had been completely destroyed. Luo Yuan guessed that this was the damage caused by the space storm.
After Luo Yuan released the satellite, he continued to fly along its orbit. There were many man-made objects in the area. He could see one almost every 1,000 kilometers. Some of them were complete, but most of them were just fragments.
He recalled the time he spent in his space-time bubble and calculated the distance. He realized that he had arrived at the satellite's orbit without realizing it.
It was undoubtedly very dangerous there. From time to time, there would be fragments flying towards him at high speed. If he was not careful, he would be hit by them.
Even with Luo Yuan's strong body, he would be easily pierced by the kinetic energy of the relative speed of more than 10 kilometers per second.
However, with the existence of his foresight, Luo Yuan did not have to worry at all.
Luo Yuan flew at high speed for more than an hour. He only stopped when he felt that his Will was almost depleted by half. It was not safe there and he had to conserve his strength. Aside from the spaceship of the extraterrestrial civilization that was hidden somewhere, there were other living beings wandering in space besides him.
The glimpse he had in the alien's dream was the first time he had seen such a terrifying super creature.
However, along the way, he did not encounter anything that looked like a living being.
Thinking about it, there were very few of these super creatures. Moreover, they lived in the vast space. The probability of encountering them was hundreds of millions of times lower than the probability of winning the lottery.
