C10 Black Dragon Event
Out of a strange intuition that came from many years of experience, Cai Haohua had always felt that Shi Xiaoling had some special traits that were similar to the genius "Longevity Number One". Although Shi Xiaoling's physical condition wasn't outstanding and his IQ wasn't high enough, Cai Haohua still kept Shi Xiaoling on the list to see his performance.
As soon as he heard that an anomaly had occurred after Shi Xiaoling had been vaccinated with the ninth grade X virus, Cai Haohua and a few other senior scientists followed Tang Zhishu to Shi Xiaoling's room.
To everyone's surprise, when the experts entered the room, they only saw Shi Xiaoling sleeping soundly on the bed.
Cai Haohua frowned and asked Tang Zhishu, "Zhishu, Shi Xiaoling looks like he's sleeping soundly, and his face is rosy and his breathing regular. What's wrong with him?"
Tang Zhishu said anxiously, "Director Cai, previously, Shi Xiaochun normally only slept two or three hours a day, but this time, after he was vaccinated with the ninth level virus, he slept for an entire day and night. "At first, I didn't think much of it. I thought he was just too tired, but today, when I wanted to wake him up for a routine test, I couldn't wake him up, so …"
"Can't wake him up? "What's going on?"
Cai Haohua moved forward to open Shi Xiaoling's eyelids to take a look, then carefully observed Shi Xiaoling's sleeping posture, and then used his stethoscope to listen on Shi Xiaoling's chest, but he didn't feel anything strange. Shi Xiaoling only seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Cai Haohua tried pushing Shi Xiaoling a few more times, and called out his name. However, Shi Xiaoling was still sleeping soundly, and didn't respond to Cai Haohua's shouts at all.
Cai Haohua looked at the experts around him. These professors were older than him and were all authoritative elders of the scientific research base. However, after carefully checking the situation of Shi Xiaoling, they couldn't figure out what was going on, so they were all very confused. Even though Shi Xiaoling was sound asleep, he didn't look like he was sick at all.
Cai Haohua immediately ordered the sleeping Shi Xiaoling to do a detailed physical examination.
A squad of medical personnel first started to take blood tests for Shi Xiaoling, then followed by a series of detailed tests with various advanced instruments. However, after the results were out, Shi Xiaoling's physiological data were all normal, without any abnormalities.
The experts were completely at a loss. An old professor frowned and said, "It seems that his nervous system was affected by the newly inoculated level 9 virus and he has entered a strange deep sleep state. I suggest using high-energy electrical impulses to stimulate the nerves in his brain. Otherwise, he would be considered a vegetable. "
Tang Zhishu was greatly shocked. She refused to believe that Shi Xiaotong, who had been extremely responsive to the virus, would suddenly turn into a vegetable.
In the sudden panic, Tang Zhisu couldn't help but rush forward and shake Shi Xiaoling who was lying on the bed. He repeatedly shouted anxiously: "Shi Xiaotuan, Little Tomb! Wake up! Wake up! Didn't you intend to become an ancient martial arts master? Why did he give up so quickly! Little Mausoleum... "Little Ling …"
The professors and experts looked at each other in dismay when they saw the usually calm and composed Tang Zhishu suddenly lose control of his emotions. Cai Haohua quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, and at the same time, he ordered some people to prepare high-energy pulsed electric shock device.
However, no matter how much the crowd tried to persuade him, Tang Zhishu continued to cling onto the clothes on Shi Xiaoling's chest, unwilling to let go. He kept shouting out Shi Xiaoling's name over and over again.
Not long after, someone brought out a high-energy electric shock device. Cai Haohua ordered someone to pull Tang Zhishu, who had lost control of his emotions, to give Shi Xiaoling a final shock to wake him up. At that moment, Shi Xiaoling, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, suddenly mumbled.
Everyone was startled and immediately stopped to look carefully. Tang Zhishu rushed to the bed and anxiously called out Shi Xiaoling's name.
After a moment, Shi Xiaoling yawned lazily on the bed and finally opened his eyes slowly. He saw Tang Zhisu, whose hair was in disarray, clutching at his chest as if he was crying for something. He couldn't help but be shocked.
After a while, Shi Xiaoling opened his eyes and looked at Tang Zhisu who was blankly staring at him. He then looked at the many white-haired experts and professors who were standing next to his bed. He could not understand what was going on, so he quickly sat up and asked, "Dr. Tang, what's wrong? What happened? Why are there so many people surrounding me? Were you the one who called me just now? "
Everyone was dumbstruck as they looked at Shi Xiaoling who seemed to have turned into a vegetable. But who knew that he would wake up just like that? It was as if nothing had happened, which was out of everyone's expectations.
Tang Zhisu asked anxiously, "Little Ling, what's wrong with you? You were unconscious for a whole day and night and still haven't woken up. No matter how we call you, it's useless to push you, you didn't even react to the blood test, are you feeling uncomfortable? "
"Little Mausoleum?"
Shi Xiaoling was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had heard Tang Zhisu call him by that name, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He said in confusion, "I slept for a day and a night? It can't be? Why do I feel like I've only slept for a short while? "I've been practicing my martial arts. I finally managed to master the few training methods that I had researched and designed myself. I was just thinking of resting for a few hours. How could I have fallen asleep so quickly?"
"Right, I heard you call my name the whole time. I thought I was dreaming. You know, I often dream about you …"
Tang Zhishu's face immediately flushed red. "How could I have known that you'd dream of …" he protested. Are you really okay? "
Shi Xiaoling shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's fine, what will happen to me? I'm sorry, this is how I slept, no matter if it was thunder or rain outside, even if the neighboring houses had firecrackers set up next door, I would still sleep according to the rules. My mom always said that I slept like a dead pig … "
The experts couldn't help laughing when they heard this. After all, Shi Xiaoling was just sleeping soundly. It was hard for the top experts like him to both test him and test him out. They really thought that he had become a vegetable.
Everyone thought that it was quite funny. The test results clearly indicated that Shi Xiaoling's body was normal, but because Tang Zhisu thought that there was something abnormal with Shi Xiaoling, and because he had slept too deeply, the experts were all confused.
Cai Haohua heaved a sigh of relief. He was looking forward to Shi Xiaoling's potential. He stepped forward and said, "Shi Xiaoling, today is the day of the comprehensive exam. As long as all the remaining students pass it, they will accept this comprehensive exam in order to decide the final ten participants. If you have nothing else to do, then hurry up and get ready. "
Thinking that he had only slept two or three hours a day for the past few days, who knew that it would be such a rare thing for him to have made such a big commotion after having slept for just a short while? Not only did he scare Tang Zhishu, even Instructor Cai was alarmed.
Hearing that the final top ten would be decided today, Shi Xiaoling felt energized, and quickly promised to get off the bed and get ready.
Seeing that the false alarm had passed, Cai Haohua turned around and left with a few professors and a class of medical personnel.
Tang Zhisu was very embarrassed. If she hadn't been so worried about Shi Xiaoling, she wouldn't have caused such a ruckus.
She grudgingly glanced at Shi Xiaoling and was about to silently leave when Shi Xiaoling called out to her.
"Doctor Tang, it's all my fault that I didn't tell you that I slept like a dead pig, causing you to …" I made you worry. "No matter what the results of today's comprehensive test are, I must thank you for all you have done these days."
Tang Zhisu was slightly startled. He said softly, "What's there to thank me for? I'm just trying my best to fulfill my duty."
Shi Xiaoling thought back to how Tang Zhisu had shouted his name at him, showing his deep concern for him. He was not a slow learner. He had developed a favorable impression of Tang Zhisu as he had learned more and more about her. He had wanted to express his feelings several times, but he was uncertain about his future.
Although he felt that Tang Zhisu already had some feelings for him, and if he confessed, there would be a chance. But then he thought, even if Tang Zhisu was willing to be his lover, if he died from a virus attack, wouldn't she be very hurt? Furthermore, even if he survived the Ultimate Virus and succeeded, he would still be sent to the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago.
No one knew what would happen in the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago, much less whether they would be able to return safely after leaving. If his dream came true in the future, he would be able to pass through all the obstacles and complete the mission. At that time, it wouldn't be too late for him to confess to Tang Zhisu.
Seeing that Shi Xiaoling seemed to want to say something, Tang Zhishu seemed to sense something. She looked at him in the eyes and said softly, "Do you still have something to say to me?"
Shi Xiaoling stared at the beautiful face of Tang Zhishu in a daze for a while. Finally, he silently shook his head.
Tang Zhishu was disappointed. He said solemnly: "Then work hard, I believe you will win in the end. "I'll go back to the studio first. If you need anything, you can find me anytime." After saying that, he gave a deep look at Shi Xiaoling before turning around and leaving.
Looking at Tang Zhishu's retreating back, Shi Xiaoling couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong to force himself not to confess to Tang Zhishu.
"I hope it's all right for both of us."
Shi Xiaoling mumbled to himself, and then ate a little bit of food. He then braced himself and went to participate in today's comprehensive test.
