Chapter 71 I can save her, the student girl who tosses the coin
The night view of Dragon City is very beautiful. The lights are reflected in the streets and alleys. The rivers running through the city are curved and surging, and are supported by bridges above, making the waves sparkling.
The dense lights make it difficult to see the thousands of stars in the night sky.
The knife-like moon is hidden in the clouds, as if it is peeking at something.
Roche Group headquarters building, fifteenth floor, laboratory behind the secret door.
Huge petri dishes can be seen everywhere, with various biological specimens soaked in antiseptic liquid.
Throughout the laboratory, there are complex roads and almost no walls. Everywhere you look, the partition walls have been replaced by huge floor-to-ceiling glass, making the entire laboratory look particularly confusing at a glance, like a crystal palace.
Countless rooms divided into small areas were separated to the left and right by a straight corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a room displaying various electronic instruments of astronomical cost.
In the dim light, a man's roar could be heard faintly in the room.
"No!"
"Neither is this!"
"None of them!!"
"What kind of medicine can treat the disease?!"
"After two years of testing and tens of thousands of tests, the success rate has never exceeded 70%!"
"Is it really hopeless..."
……
About half an hour later.
"Dr. Liu, you're leaving so late."
In front of the Roche Group headquarters building, the door guard on night duty smiled and greeted a figure who came to him.
"It's a bit late." The 'Dr. Liu' the guard spoke of looked tired, with a thin figure, sunken cheeks, extremely thick dark circles under the eyes, and a pale face, making the whole person look haggard.
"I'm going back first, thank you for your hard work."
‘Dr. Liu’ was wearing a white coat reserved for laboratory researchers, with the name on the nameplate on his chest: Liu Ye.
"Oh, he is also a miserable man, but he has a wife with a strange disease..." The guard watched Liu Ye's leaving figure and shook his head helplessly.
……
In Dragon City tonight, there were very few vehicles on the road.
As a result, passing vehicles are traveling much faster than usual.
Brush, brush—
The sound of vehicles passing quickly could be heard intermittently on the road.
Feeling the cold night breeze coming towards him, Liu Ye walked on the sidewalk in an extremely decadent manner.
All the shops on the roadside have been closed, and the street lights are flickering.
After walking about a street away, Liu Ye's figure disappeared into an alley.
On the right side of the lane is a house that looks to be quite old. There are only six floors in total, and it is located alone in the most prosperous area of Longcheng. Due to some reasons, it has not been demolished. It is in sharp contrast to the extremely new high-rise buildings around it.
The mottled exterior walls are covered with dense wires.
The words for rent and for sale are posted on the windows of many houses, along with contact numbers.
It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and no one in the whole building had lights on.
Tap tap tap.
Liu Ye's footsteps were a little heavy, echoing in the cracked cement corridor, all the way up the stairs to the top floor.
The relatively bright corridor sensor lights lit up layer by layer, shining above his head, and the shadows on the ground lengthened.
Click.
Taking out the key, Liu Ye opened the door of the residence on the left side of the top floor. The faded couplets on the door looked like they had not been changed for several years, and the surrounding area was densely covered with various small advertisements for sewerage.
Bang.
With a muffled sound, the door closed.
Liu Ye took off his shoes casually and walked into the house without turning on the light.
Without staying for a second, he went straight to the master bedroom in the back room.
Snap, he turned on the bedside lamp in the master bedroom, and then knelt down beside the bed.
The tired look on his face was replaced by distress and love.
Following his gaze, a woman's figure quietly emerged on the two-meter-wide double bed.
He looked to be only about thirty years old, but his hair was already gray. He had his eyes closed and his breathing was slow.
The body was covered with a quilt, a needle was buried in her left hand, and the nutrient solution hanging on the bedside was slowly being injected into the woman's body. "Honey...wait a little longer, I...I will almost succeed."
Liu Ye's eyes were a little red, and he murmured to himself, with a hint of crying in his voice,
"Two years... Tell me, why do you sleep for so long?"
"In the past two years, I have used the instruments in the laboratory privately and searched for almost all the medicines I could find, but to no avail, none of them..."
"Each one cannot cure your disease..."
Tears streaked down Liu Ye's face. This tough man had lowered all his defenses at this moment.
"You said... it would be great if I were an ordinary person. If I didn't have such super powers, it would be great if we could be an ordinary couple like everyone else..."
Liu Ye's lips trembled and he reached out to hold the woman's hand on the bed, feeling a little cold.
The light of the desk lamp shone on the two of them, making them look particularly desolate from a distance.
"Your wife can still be saved."
Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the bedroom.
Liu Ye, who was still sad a second ago, stood up in an instant, turned his head suddenly, and dazzling arcs of electricity burst out all over his body.
There was a crackle and explosions in the room.
"Who! Get out!"
At this moment, he looked frightened and extremely uneasy.
Liu Ye swore that there was no sign that the doors or windows of his house had been pried open, and when he came back just now, he didn't notice anyone else in the house!
Not to mention, when the other party approached the bedroom, there was no sound at all during this process!
Unprecedented vigilance rose in his heart. Almost instantly, Liu Ye activated his powers, always ready to fight the enemies in the dark.
"A person with a gamma-level [electricity storage] ability can easily gain a management status in the Roche Group."
"But you took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the laboratory. This will only take two or three years."
In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged.
Black hooded windbreaker, black skull mask, Ning Feng.
Zhila!
When Ning Feng showed up, Liu Ye's whole body jumped up, ready to kill him.
But the next second...
Phew...
The cold air roared in his ears, and in an instant, Liu Ye felt that his limbs were stiff and unable to move, and his whole body was frozen in place.
He looked down and saw that layers of frost had condensed on his hands and feet at some unknown time, freezing the joints tightly.
"Don't struggle, I have no ill intentions towards you."
Ning Feng walked slowly towards Liu Ye,
The latter had no intention of listening, and desperately manipulated the arc, trying to break through the shackles of the frost.
"I said, I have no ill intentions towards you."
Ning Feng put his hand on Liu Ye's shoulder, and the frost spread under his hand, freezing the other person's neck firmly, forcing him to face him.
"Who are you?! I don't remember when I offended you!" Liu Ye widened his eyes and roared in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Besides, I said I have no ill intentions towards you."
"On the contrary, I'm here to help you."
"Help me?!" Liu Ye glanced down and gestured to his frozen body, "Do you think I will believe you?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is that I can save her."
Ning Feng crossed Liu Ye's side and stood beside the bed, staring at the unconscious woman on the bed.
"What are you going to do! Come to me if anything happens! She is just a patient!" Liu Ye panicked instantly when he noticed the other party's movements.
But what Ning Feng said next made him stunned for a moment.
"[Super Power Corrosion Disease]."
"This is a disease that occurs in a very small number of ordinary people."
"The main reason is that when ordinary people live with people with superpowers for a long time, their brain nerves are affected by the magnetic field of the other party's superpowers, causing them to suddenly enter a coma."
"Currently, there are no targeted treatments on the market."
"Once you get sick, you can only lie in bed and wait for death."
"But...I can let you revive her."
