48 Hours a Day

In the ward of the Kiev People’s Hospital.

A young nurse who looked young and had freckles on her face was pushing Zhang Heng into an intravenous injection, and then she adjusted the curtains of the ward.

When the little nurse turned and left, Zhang Heng was finally able to learn his diagnosis from the receptionist.

Because some of the medical terms were too professional, the receptionist had to look through the dictionary while making gestures. It took about a quarter of an hour to reluctantly talk about Zhang Heng’s condition. Unfortunately, the doctor is not here now, Zhang Heng didn't know whether the result of 3 degree radiation sickness was good or bad.

In addition, the receptionist who was his "wife" failed to get the key information about how long he could live from the female doctor's mouth, and Zhang Heng could only continue to observe his own body while receiving treatment.

Fortunately, unlike other unlucky ghosts who have been irradiated, he does not need to worry about the cancer caused by radiation later. For Zhang Heng, as long as he can overcome the current barrier, he is basically out of risk. When the parallel copy ends, he 'S body will return to the state before entering the parallel copy, and can also know the changes of the body in each subsequent stage.

This is barely good news for the current situation.

However, unlike other patients, Zhang Heng can't be idle even if he is admitted to the hospital. He still has to use this time to learn Russian and Ukrainian. If the language problem can be solved in the parallel copy, it will be more convenient for him to return to the official copy. Investigate.

So Zhang Heng said to the receptionist on the side, "Let's get started."

"Okay, where do you want to learn first?" The receptionist straightened her back when she heard the words. She knew that she also needed to show a service attitude that matched the generous remuneration.

"Well, let's first teach some vocabulary and sentences that can be used in the hospital scene, so that in case I have to complete some examination items alone in the future, I can at least know what the doctors are talking about."

…………

Zhang Heng measured his body temperature on the first day of admission. At that time, his body temperature was 37.8 degrees, with a slight low fever. Two days later, his temperature rose to 38.9 degrees. So the doctor performed a puncture on his breastbone and patella. Four bone marrow samples were taken for analysis.

On the sixth day, Zhang Heng could feel some pain in his stomach, throat and mouth, where the mucous membrane began to fall off, which made his speech a little laborious. He also began to suffer from insomnia and anorexia at this time. of.

However, when the doctor asked him whether his mental condition had started to deteriorate and he felt irritable and anxious, Zhang Heng gave a negative answer. This is probably one of the few benefits after losing his emotions.

But Zhang Heng could indeed feel that speaking became more and more difficult, his eyelids began to twitch involuntarily, and his body became swollen.

To make matters worse, his immune system began to fail due to the reduction of granular white blood cells. On the ninth day, the hospital injected him with bone marrow cells donated by volunteers, and then moved him to a UV-sterilized ward.

Zhang Heng had to suspend his language study, but after disinfection, the receptionist sent the English-Russian dictionary to his ward for him to read. In addition to allowing him to continue studying, it also helped him distract part of his attention. .

This was also the suggestion of the female doctor, but she thought Zhang Heng was using a dictionary to learn English.

So in the rest of his life, Zhang Heng would lie on a tall curved hospital bed with a rib-shaped heating lamp above it to keep his body warm. The nurses took away all his clothes and the pain swept through. He is no longer accompanied by his body almost all the time. Intravenous injection can make the situation better, but the nitrous oxide anesthetic is really effective.

But what surprised the female doctor was that the man in front of him seemed to have extraordinary tolerance for pain.Under such circumstances, ordinary people might have screamed out loud, and even begged the doctor to end his pain, but Zhang Heng on the hospital bed had always been calm.

This is a very unbelievable thing for the female doctor. Before that, she also encountered some determined patients. Among them were public servants, professional soldiers, and even some people who had been on the verge of death. Compared with ordinary patients, these people are indeed better at controlling their own emotions and can tolerate higher intensity of pain.

But when the female doctor looked at them, she could clearly feel that they were in pain from their expressions and eyes. However, when she looked at Zhang Heng’s eyes, it was like the deepest ocean, except She couldn't see anything outside the huge shadow like this on the bottom of the sea.

Zhang Heng did not even take the initiative to set Ningguo's nitrous oxide anesthetic to relieve pain.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Heng's condition to worsen day by day, the female doctor would even suspect that the misfortune in front of her at this moment happened to other people, and Zhang Heng was just a cold-eyed bystander standing aside.

The latter didn’t even give up his study plan. The little nurse who had been taking care of him found a stand for him and put the English-Russian dictionary on it, so that he didn’t have to hold it by himself, just lay down. You can see it from the bed.

Does this man feel no pain at all?The female doctor thought so.

However, this kind of thinking is of course inaccurate. For Zhang Heng, he did lose most of his feelings, but he did not lose his basic perception of the body. Therefore, the pain in the body is now conveyed to him. In the brain of Zhang Heng, it's just that Zhang Heng's spirit for so long has come in handy now.

Through Xiaoshan Ming's formula, he can sink his consciousness and gradually reach a state of selflessness, shielding the painful feelings from it, so as to maintain inner peace.

Therefore, in a sense, the female doctor’s feeling is not wrong. Zhang Heng is indeed like a bystander now. However, when he purposefully controlled the sinking of his consciousness, Zhang Heng also unexpectedly saw something. ... other things you.

It was a cold and sticky feeling that made him a little familiar. A huge and vague black shadow was lying in a huge underwater palace, which was bigger than the one he had seen on Yonaguni Island. Majestic and magnificent several times, make the latter look like a toy.

As for the thing in the palace, Zhang Heng couldn't see its face clearly, he could only see countless tentacles wrapped around the stone pillars of the palace.

You don't need to get close to Zhang Heng to know that the thing is sleeping. This is a strange strong intuition. What's even more strange is that Zhang Heng realized that he knew that thing after his death.

It also kept calling Zhang Heng's name in his sleep, as if calling a child away from home.

However, Zhang Heng's footsteps still stayed outside the palace gate in the end.

——It is not the time yet.

A voice said in his ear, also familiar, but Zhang Heng couldn't remember where the voice came from.

——Wait, wait, you will be back soon, you just need to...be patient, as always, the Star Family and the Deep Diver, they are also waiting for your return.
