The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 29 Player with eyes closed
1 a.m., No. [-] Hospital of Shanqing District.

Gao Yang rushed into the lobby of the emergency building and saw his sister sitting on a blue public chair.She was still wearing pajamas and a pair of slippers, her hair was messy, and her face was stained with tears.

Gao Xin was delighted to see Gao Yang appear, rushed forward and hugged her brother, crying again.

Gao Yang touched his sister's head and asked, "Where is dad now?"

"I'll take you to the second floor." Gao Xinxin grabbed her brother's hand and left.

On the way here, Gao Yang had already learned about the situation over the phone.

Gao Yang's father stayed up late socializing with clients and drank, so he called for a driver. As a result, the driver drove tiredly and collided with another minivan at an intersection.

The driver died on the spot. The father in the back seat was wearing a seat belt. Although he escaped, he was seriously injured. After being rescued, he was sent directly to the hospital for rescue. When the nurse was packing up his clothes, he found his wallet and ID and gave them to Gao Yang. My mother called.

My mother almost fainted on the spot and took her sister out without even bothering to change her clothes.Grandma was in poor health and had already fallen asleep. Mother and daughter did not dare to wake her up, let alone tell her.

Gao Yang rushed out of the elevator with his sister and immediately saw his mother in the corridor. She was also wearing pajamas and slippers, with disheveled hair, a haggard face, and red and swollen eyes, sitting on a seat outside the door of the operating room.As soon as she saw her son and daughter, she stood up immediately and stepped forward to hug the two children.

"Mom, I'm afraid..." My sister was crying.

The mother said nothing, but her hands were obviously shaking.

Gao Yang hugged his mother and sister, "It's okay, it's okay. Dad will be fine."

……

The operation took a long time and lasted until late at night.

The doctor came out of the operating room, covered in blood, wearing a medical mask, and his voice was a little tired: "He is out of danger for the time being, but the situation is not optimistic. We have done what we should do, and the rest is up to him. In addition, you guys Be mentally prepared, even if he survives this time, he may have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life."

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, I wish I could survive..." The mother asked for nothing more and burst into tears of gratitude.

"It's my job." The doctor said politely and left.

After that, Gao Yang's family stayed outside again until 5 a.m., when the doctor told them that his father was confirmed to be out of danger, and the stone in his mother's heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing that his mother and sister looked haggard, Gao Yang asked them to go home and rest, but mother and daughter refused.

Gao Yang patiently persuaded: "The three of us have been up all night. Dad must take turns to watch over you. You go home and rest now, and you can't come to pick up my shift in the afternoon. And you two are still wearing pajamas. What are you talking about?" , go back quickly."

After hearing these words, the mother finally agreed. She looked up at her son and said happily: "Yangyang has grown up."

Gao Yang was stunned: "Is there any?"

"Well, especially during this period, although I often go home very late, I always feel... a lot more sensible."

Gao Yang had mixed feelings for a moment. After awakening, he became more cautious than more sensible.

Soon, the mother left with her sister, and Gao Yang continued to guard outside the intensive care unit.During this period, he was very tired, but couldn't sleep. His mind was filled with random thoughts, and he unknowingly remembered things from his childhood.

When Gao Yang was a child, he lived in a county town on the outskirts of the city. At that time, his grandfather was still alive, and his family of six lived in a two-story cement house built by himself. The house had a front yard, and a ginkgo tree was planted outside the yard. Every autumn, the ground was full of people. golden.

The family runs a small shop called "Happy Supermarket", selling snacks and daily necessities. They can't make a fortune even if they starve to death.

My father is very smart and has always had a business acumen. There are a lot of books that I have successfully learned at home.He always brags that when he saves enough capital, he will open a factory in partnership with his friends. After making money, he will go to live in the city, buy a house in the school district and a car, so that his family can live a good life.

The year Gaoyang graduated from elementary school, his father actually made a little fortune and moved his family out of the city.

My father opened a food processing factory in partnership with his friends, mainly processing various soy products. In order to promote his products, he visited customers every day. He had thousands of numbers saved in his mobile phone, all of which were owners of large and small supermarkets.The better the business, the more entertainment there is. I spend half of the month drinking with clients, and I get drunk every time.

"Da da da."

There were footsteps approaching, and Gao Yang immediately became alert.

He looked up and saw that it was the attending doctor responsible for rescuing his father. At this moment, he had taken off his white mask and mask and put on casual clothes.

"Would you like to drink it?" The doctor held two cups of coffee, sat down next to Gao Yang, and handed a cup of coffee to him. The aroma was overflowing.

"Thank you." Gao Yang was not polite and took a sip, which made his body feel much warmer.

Gao Yang looked sideways at the doctor next to him. Although he had the aura of a middle-aged man, he looked very young. Judging from his appearance, he was in his thirties at most.

The doctor is tall, thin, with deep and angular features, slightly curly hair, and elegant black-rimmed glasses. He wears a dark gray British-style cardigan, khaki trousers, brown Oxford leather shoes, and a retro quartz watch on his wrist. Wearing a simple silver ring on her slender ring finger.

In short, after taking off his white coat, he looks more like a melancholy literary young man.

He held the coffee cup in both hands and took a sip. He tilted his head and looked at the window at the end of the corridor. The first ray of light in the morning came in. The soft light was clear and holy, as if it came from heaven.

"This is my favorite time of the day." The doctor said calmly, his voice slightly deep but gentle.

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and realized that he was talking to himself. He held back a sentence for a long time, "Because... the morning sunshine makes people full of hope?"

"No, because I can finally get off work." The doctor smiled.

Gao Yang also smiled.

"How old are you this year?" the doctor asked again. "."

"Ah, isn't the college entrance examination coming soon?"

"Yes."

"Where do you plan to go to college?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Gao Yang said.

"Your father's situation..." The doctor sighed slightly, "I think it would be better for you to consider this city. Licheng University is very good and also a good one."

Gao Yang felt something was wrong. This doctor was a little too enthusiastic.He put down the coffee cup and moved his butt to the side.

The doctor was keenly aware of Gao Yang's changes and smiled lightly: "Are you afraid of me?"

Gao Yang's heart tightened and he didn't speak. He calmly used his peripheral vision to look for elevators, emergency passages, and windows in the corridor, but pretended to be confused: "I'm afraid of you, why are you afraid of you?"

"I'm afraid I'm a beast," said the doctor.

Gao Yang almost jumped up, but Doctor Zhao grabbed his wrist. The movement was not rough, but firm and powerful.Gao Yang tried to break free, but couldn't. The opponent controlled the force precisely and always kept Gao Yang one point away.

Dr. Zhao's smile returned to his face: "Don't be afraid, if I want to kill you, you will already be dead."

Gao Yang thought about it and felt that it made sense. Then he slowly calmed down. He pretended to be calm and asked directly: "Are you an awakened person or a beast?"

"What do you think?" the doctor asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Gao Yang told the truth. The more he got to know beasts, the harder it seemed to distinguish between them and humans.

"Innate red eye, serial number 131. I distinguish between humans and animals by temperature. Generally speaking, the body temperature of animals is a little higher than that of humans, and there are subtle but regular differences in distribution." The doctor looked at Gao Yang, his brown His eyes suddenly glowed with a faint red light, "So, I can tell at a glance that you are a human being."

Gao Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

"My name is Bailiyi." The doctor stretched out his hand.

"Hello...Mr. Baili, my name is Gao Yang." Gao Yang stretched out his hand, his expression obviously relaxed.

"You just woke up not long ago, right?" Bailiyi asked.

"how do you know?"

"You seem to be more afraid of beasts than awakened ones."

Gao Yang was startled, "Shouldn't it be?"

Bailiyi smiled meaningfully: "What are the beasts to be afraid of? As long as you abide by the rules and continue to play the innocent lamb, there will be no danger. They are not so much playing humans as they are possessing both humans and beasts. Two personalities and bodies. As long as you don't turn on the switch in their body and activate the 'beast' personality and body, in a sense, they are the same kind as us who live with us day and night."

Gao Yang thought thoughtfully: This explanation is somewhat similar to Officer Huang's understanding.

Bailiyi slightly adjusted his sitting posture and leaned forward. The morning sun melted behind him, and a faint golden luster flowed on the rim of his glasses. "In comparison, humans are much scarier than animals."

Gao Yang thought about this sentence and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

He decided to change the topic: "You are a surgeon. You perform operations every day. Most of the people you come into contact with are animals. Won't they be exposed?"

Bailiyi shook his head, "Before beasts don't transform into beasts, they are no different from our bodies. It's just that metabolism, self-healing ability, immunity, etc. are slightly stronger, and the realism of the reproductive system is a little less , but I have also seen fake things look real, and if I hadn’t had a red eye, I would have almost been deceived.”

Gao Yang immediately thought of Officer Huang's "pregnant" wife. Maybe his wife was fake and real.

Bailiyi continued to drink coffee leisurely, as if chatting about a very common topic: "Beasts also have a life cycle, similar to humans. They are fragile in childhood, strong in adulthood, and decay in old age. Because beasts have been working hard 24 hours a day. They play the role of human beings, so their abilities as beasts are constantly declining. The older the beasts are, the more serious their degradation is. Many old beasts, even if they return to their beast form, may not be as effective as an adult human."

Gao Yang remembered "Aunt He" who attacked him in the love hotel. Officer Huang also said at that time that Aunt He had deteriorated a bit seriously, otherwise her combat effectiveness would have been several times stronger.

"Then my family, are they humans or... beasts?" Gao Yang wanted to know the answer, but was afraid of knowing the answer. When he asked this question, his throat tightened and his heart beat faster.

"I can't tell you, this is against the rules." Bailiyi smiled apologetically: "In fact, when I talked to you today, I broke the rules. Please keep it confidential."

It's so ironic that Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief. What else came to his mind, "Are you also a member of the organization?"

"Organization?" Bailiyi pondered the word: "If I must say it, I do belong to an organization."

"Mr. Baili, I just woke up not long ago and I have many questions to ask you." Gao Yang couldn't let go of this opportunity and asked them all at once.

"I heard that beasts don't have real reproductive systems. How did beasts come about? How did we humans come about? Why do they put us humans among them and go to so much trouble to play house with us? game? Why do we only understand talent when we discover the truth?”

"Why do the beasts around us switch states and want to kill us once we humans awaken? Also, how many kinds of beasts are there? Are they all bad? Can humans and beasts have children? Is this the case around me only? , or is this the same situation all over the world..."

Bailiyi smiled and said playfully: "Poor young man, he is really holding himself back."

Gao Yang was about to cry but had no tears. Ever since he woke up, his mind was filled with these questions. Thinking about them for a long time can drive people crazy.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the answers to many questions, and I can't tell you the questions I know the answers to." Baili Yi pondered for a moment, "Well, I'll give you a final message."
