262 Liang Dashu The Doctor

"It's alright!" said Yuan Tianxing. "They don't know that the water belongs to Lu Tianyu. If they found that the…eh-hem, that Lu Tianyu has become a zombie who's willing to save people, things will be fun."

While speaking, he grinned meaningfully.

Du Yuanxing popped his eyes as he stared at Yuan Tianxing while saying, "That's awful! It'll bring her troubles, won't it?"

Yuan Tianxing glanced at him and said carelessly, "Are you silly? Don't you know what kind of a zombie she is? I guess not even a level-seven superpowered human being can get her. You think she's as silly as you? No, she's smart! Besides, did you forget what skills she has?"

Lin Yu joined the conversation curiously, "I've been hearing you mention Lu Tianyu, zombie, and space…Are you talking about the one that I'm thinking about? She isn't the famous Lu Tianyu in this base, is she?"

Du Yuanxing and Yuan Tianxing looked at him and nodded together.

"No way!" Said Lin Yu with disbelief, "She really became a zombie? I heard that she was knocked out and thrown into a zombie crowd. Wasn't she torn into pieces?"

"No, she's fine," Yuan Tianxing shook his head and replied.

"She has become a zombie, that's true!" Du Yuanxing continued, "Moreover, she won't remind you of that Lu Tianyu who was hated by pretty much everyone in this base. She turned into a zombie who likes doing good deeds."

"What…?" Lin Yu was utterly confused. This sounded more and more ridiculous. 'She became a zombie, alright,' he thought, 'but what does doing good deeds mean? She must be chewed by zombies when she died, so no one should be able to recognize her by now, right?'

'And, does that water have something to do with Lu Tianyu?'

According to the conversation between Du Yuanting and Yuan Tianxing, it seemed that only Lu Tianyu had that water.

However…

"Can that water really help with the awakening of superpowers? If it turned out to be ineffective for the little princess, will Wu Chengyue have an opinion against us?"

"What opinion can he possibly have?" Said Yuan Tianxing, "I just helped him kindly. The water might be ineffective, but it defiantly wouldn't hurt his little princess. Besides, I've told him that I can't guarantee it."

"Judging by how he behaved in this base, Chief Wu isn't a narrow-minded and unreasonable man," said Du Yuanxing, "I think he won't blame us."

Yuan Tianxing nodded at him.

On the other side, Wu Chengyue brought Ling Ling back to the small building where they lived and put her in her bedroom. Then, he asked Xiao Yunlong to find another doctor. This doctor was a weirdo in the base. He barely listened to the others, and he treated the patients only when he wanted to. If he didn't want to help a patient, no one could make him.

However, he was always happy to help Wu Chengyue. Whenever Wu Chengyue sent his people to ask him for help, he would agree.

This doctor's name was Liang Dashu. He wasn't a doctor before, but was the owner of a bookstore. He loved reading books; he read all sorts of books, especially fiction, comic books, and online novels.

Of course, he also read lots of professional books, which he couldn't fully understand. When he discovered something interesting in a book, he would dig deep.

He never studied medicine; people called him doctor because of his superpower.

He had a healing power that allowed him to easily cure some small injuries and diseases. His power wasn't at a high level, so for serious diseases and incurable illnesses, what he could do best was to slow them down.

Currently, he wasn't working in a bookstore, neither as a doctor. Instead, he was a researcher in the Zombie Virus Research Institution. He had read a lot of books. With the knowledge he learned, he had purposed a series of assumptions regarding how the zombie virus was formed after the apocalypse. His assumptions were partially proven, so with Wu Chengyue's recommendation, he became a zombie virus researcher.

Because of his healing power, he had also learned some medical knowledge.

…

In a small laboratory which was filled with all sorts of complicated devices, an unshaven, long-haired man was studying and comparing all kinds of data.

The door was knocked on twice, but the man made no response to it.

The one who knocked on the door didn't seem to wait for his response. Instead, she knocked the door again, then pushed it open and walked straight in.

It was a bland-faced young lady. "Uncle Liang, Chief Wu sent someone here. He wants you to go to his place." 

Liang Dashu didn't move his eyes away from the data, but still replied, "Chief is back? He wants to see me, so he must be feeling unwell. Alright, I get it. Go prepare my medicine cabinet. I just need a few more minutes here."

The woman expressionlessly nodded, then turned and left.

…

In Wu Yuecheng's small building, Xiao Yunlong touched the little one's forehead. The girl looked tired, but she surprisingly didn't faint.

Xiao Yunlong touched the girl's forehead, then touched his own. After that, he said to Wu Chengyue with doubt, "Has Ling Ling's fever stopped? She didn't turn hotter. Her body temperature is about the same as three minutes ago." 

Wu Chengyue was looking at a clinical thermometer. With concern, he said, "Em, fifty-eight degrees earlier, fifty-seven point eight now. I think her fever was brought down by a little bit."

Even though the fever had been brought down slightly, the number was still scary.

"What? Fifty-eight degrees!" Xiao Yunlong popped his eyes in shock. He hurriedly turned to Wu Yueling and asked her, "Ling Ling, do you still know your Godfather? Blink if you do, will you?"

However, Ling Ling only looked at him confusedly without making any response.

Wu Chengyue put down the thermometer and walked over, sitting on the bedside. Then, he bent over to say to Ling Ling, "Ling Ling, can you see Daddy?"

Ling Ling slowly moved her eyes from Xiao Yunlong's face to Wu Chengyue's. A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, but she still nodded slightly.

"Do you have any strength? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wu Chengyue asked.

Ling Ling shook her head toward him, then kept shaking her head. Her movement range was small, which made her look very weak.

"Her mind is still clear, but I guess she's feeling weak," said Wu Chengyue to Xiao Yunlong.

"We've been back for about an hour. Now, her body temperature isn't going higher or lower. However, she didn't fall into a coma. Is this good or bad? Her body temperature is way too high…It's so dangerous for her!"

"I've wiped her body with alcohol a few times," said Wu Chengyue, "I don't think her body temperature is going anywhere higher now. Let's wait for Doctor Liang to give her a check-up."

"Doctor Liang has read a lot of books, and he's focusing on the virus research now. I wonder if he knows how to help Ling Ling," said Xiao Yunlong.

"I don't know. I hope he can figure something out," Wu Chengyue had hope in his eyes.
