Chapter 140 "The captain found it for you."

Fu Yan's "second" restart was more than two months later than the last one.

Last time, Fu Yan accidentally fell from the scaffolding and was injured when performing field missions. He fell asleep in the dormitory and woke up. When he opened his eyes again, he had already done it all over again.

Liu Ruosong remembered the time of his restart very clearly. In the days approaching the date, he rarely slowed down the work progress of the laboratory building, stopped working overtime day and night, and tried to go back to meet with Fu Yan every night. .

But this time I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect. Fu Yan's field missions are not exactly the same as last time, and he hasn't encountered any unexpected situations.

At first, Liu Ruosong thought it was a buffer period for different restart points, but he suppressed his temper and waited for more than half a month, but Fu Yan still showed no sign of restarting.

Liu Ruosong was panicked by this uncontrollable abnormality. He wanted to try to bring the situation back to the path of his previous life, but he didn't dare to take Fu Yan's risk.

Fu Yan noticed his unusual anxiety, but he was no more leisurely than Liu Ruosong recently. The zombie infection situation outside was intensifying.

In this case, activities such as obtaining information and cross-regional rescue require more energy.

The second elite team under Zhao Jincheng went to rescue Shao Qiu. In addition to doing normal rescue and cleaning tasks, Fu Yan had to be outside at any time to help Liu Ruosong find the "fish that slipped through the net" who had participated in the high-end medical examination. It is divided into eight parts, and before going to bed at night, I have to have a short meeting with the team members.

Liu Ruosong was anxious, but he couldn't criticize Fu Yan in this situation, so he could only wait patiently.

In this life, he did not stubbornly want to go out to work with Fu Yan like last time, but spent most of his time in the laboratory building, conducting professional genetic and pharmaceutical research.

Just as he promised the old professor, he is indeed doing his best and willingly working hard for the future he wants.

One and a half months after the expected time passed, Liu Ruosong's experimental research entered a very tricky bottleneck period. The original drug research process suddenly began to retreat, and the shelf life of various petri dishes was extremely shortened. Demand is also skyrocketing.

At the same time, Lu Li's blood sample occasionally mutated after being mixed with the zombie virus, producing a virus reaction that Liu Ruosong had never seen before.

Liu Ruosong suddenly became busy. He was soaked in work day and night. When he realized it, he realized that he hadn't seen Fu Yan for many days.

His communicator was empty, and he and Fu Yan hardly spoke a few words except for the "password" used to report safety every day.

He hesitated for a while at the brief communication page, retreated to the rest area, and dialed a communication for Fu Yan.

No one answered the communication, Liu Ruosong frowned, and called He Feng again, but the result was still the same.

In this case, Fu Yan is most likely to perform field missions outside, but this time the fieldwork time is too long, after two restarts, Liu Ruosong once again felt the feeling of getting together less and more apart when they first faced the apocalypse. Powerlessness.

He felt uncomfortable, restless and guilty, bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, then called Zhao Jincheng.

Since he was in charge of the laboratory building, Zhao Jincheng and him have established a two-way communication port with extremely high authority. In order to avoid missing the research results, Liu Ruosong's communication priority is even higher than that of Zhao Jincheng's field commander.

Zhao Jincheng thought he had made some new discoveries, so he was eating and connected to the communication before he even had time to put down the lunch box. When Liu Ruosong asked Fu Yan, he was so angry that he scolded the little bastard.

"He went out to work." Zhao Jincheng coughed for a long time, and said angrily: "There is cooperation with the B Department Military Region, so we are far away."

"Why didn't he tell me?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"It was decided on a temporary basis." Zhao Jincheng complained ramblingly: "The uncertainty at a young age, I think about it as soon as I think about it. I just think about it after a few days apart. Do you know how busy I am with communication."

Liu Ruosong: "..."

Zhao Jincheng was obviously stuffy and bored and had nowhere to go. Just in time for a little bastard who hit the gun, he dragged him and complained for more than two minutes before he had to hang up the phone and went to work on him. thing.

Liu Ruosong touched the communicator, opened and closed Fu Yan's contact interface, repeated several times, and finally sighed in his heart.

I ignored him a little bit, Liu Ruosong thought.

He knew that his state of mind was impatient and anxious during this time, and he desperately wanted to see Fu Yan for the "second time", so that he could feel more at ease, and he could see some hope in waiting.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that this anxiety had more or less affected his view of Fu Yan.

As soon as he sees the other party, he will think of the belated "restart point", and he will inevitably think more in his heart. In order to avoid this kind of anxiety subconsciously, he does not always think of the other party as before.

This is not good, Liu Ruosong thought.

He sat in the break room, waved back the interns and project staff who came to him, closed the door, and opened the break room window.

The howling cold wind poured in from the window, cooling the warm rest room in a few breaths. Liu Ruosong took a deep breath, feeling as if he had sucked in a cold and sharp knife.

His overloaded and feverish brain finally calmed down in this quiet cold wind, Liu Ruosong put his hands on the window sill, and for the first time began to face the uneasy question in his heart.

If the butterfly effect really affects Fu Yan, what should he do.

Could it be that he has been ignoring Fu Yan and waiting for an answer that has no result?

Liu Ruosong quickly denied himself in his heart - no matter what happened, even if Fu Yan would never restart again, he couldn't really give up on him.

Then what am I doing during this time, Liu Ruosong asked himself.

All he did was to let Fu Yan escape from the shackles of fate and create a more stable future for him and Fu Yanbo, but now he is putting the cart before the horse—he is desperately researching viruses, Lu Li's blood samples, researching medicine, But he knew nothing about Fu Yan's whereabouts.

Liu Ruosong suddenly felt guilty.

He was clear in his heart, and he also knew that Fu Yan could see that after this restart, he had no resentment towards Fu Yan in his heart.

But now, this kind of resentment suddenly turned into deeper guilt, Liu Ruosong covered his eyes, a little confused about what he was doing.

He didn't know what he was doing, he looked around in a daze, and finally his eyes fell on the empty communication dialog box.

Don't get lost in the pain, Liu Ruosong thought, and don't forget your bottom line.

Obviously, all along, he has no other wishes, he just hopes that Fu Yan can live well.

——Even if it is true that it will never restart again, it’s fine.

This decision was not easy to make, but when this idea came up, it was not as difficult as Liu Ruosong thought.

He has even prepared himself for the worst mentally, hinting three times a day that he should stop holding out hope, so as not to lose his mental balance and make wrong decisions.

Fu Yan went and disappeared for several days, and when Liu Ruosong received the news again, it was He Feng who sent it to him.

He Feng's communication was concise and clear, and it was business-like. He only said that they had returned from their mission and are now at the medical point. If Liu Ruosong is free, I hope he can pick it up.

Liu Ruosong happened to be processing the newly purified virus samples at that time, he hesitated for a moment, and without much thought, he handed over the work in hand to the second assistant, changed his clothes, and rushed to the medical point.

The temporary medical point is no better than the fixed medical center in the military area. The conditions are a bit rough, and it is set up with the tents of the field army.

When Liu Ruosong rushed there, there was a row of people standing outside the tent. He opened the curtain and walked in, and found Fu Yan lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and teammates of the action team.

Liu Ruosong didn't see Fu Yan's situation clearly at a glance, he thumped in his heart, pushed away from the crowd and walked forward, before he could get close, He Tang saw him first, dispersed the crowd without saying a word, and dragged him to the hospital. on the edge of the bed.

Fu Yanren was still awake, his upper body was naked, and there were several scratches and bloodstains on his chest. His right arm was resting outside the quilt, and a thick layer of elbow was fixed in place.

Liu Ruosong gasped in distress, and before he could ask anything, he felt his legs sink, and something was pushed against him.

When Liu Ruosong lowered his head, he realized that it was a real child. He looked only a little higher than human knees, his face was smeared with dust like a cat, his hair was messed up like withered grass, and he could only see the original color of the coat. According to the pattern, it should be a little girl.

Liu Ruosong: "..."

"Here." He Tang stuffed the little girl into his arms and said, "The captain found it for you."

"Don't make trouble." Liu Ruosong said, "He—"

"Oh, the captain is fine, the arm and leg are not broken, but dislocated." He Tang hugged the little girl by the waist, tilted his head to signal Fu Yan, and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, it's not that you are looking for the girl on the list." Well, give—this, ready-made."

Liu Ruosong was stunned for a moment, then realized something, pointed to the little girl, then pointed to Fu Yan, not knowing where to start asking.

Fortunately, Major He was considerate, so it was useless for him to speak, so he said it all by himself.

"This little girl is the child of an industrial boss in the city next door. She happens to be on the daily health care list of the Yancheng chain nursing home. We saw her picture last time when we checked the information." He Tang said: "It's also a coincidence, thanks to the captain Sharp eyes—we came back from the mountain road and saw him on the side of the road. We went down to rescue her, but the child might have regarded us as a zombie at the time, so he turned around and ran away in fright, and almost rolled down the hillside. The captain is for Holding her, the arm was pulled and dislocated."

Liu Ruosong was dumbfounded, and was about to ask in detail, but suddenly felt that the hem of his clothes was gently tugged.

Liu Ruosong took advantage of the situation and turned his head, only to find that Fu Yan woke up vaguely at some point, squinting his eyes at him, moving his lips slightly, and said something.

With Fu Yan around, Liu Ruosong couldn't care about the survivors for a moment, he bent down to Fu Yan's side, and listened carefully to his voice.

"Brother." Liu Ruosong said, "Don't worry, just speak slowly."

"... Ruosong?" Fu Yan said vaguely, "How did Fang Sining let you in?"
