IJWTRQ Chapter 021

The Awakening (2)

“How serious are the injuries of the three of them?” Tan Yan stood anxiously outside the rescue room, as soon as someone came out, they rushed forward to ask.

Qiao Zhixue took off his mask and gave a deep look at Tan Yan: “I need further tests to confirm the results.”

Tan Yan looked puzzled.

Minister Yu stood behind him, pressing Tan Yan’s shoulder with his strong palm: “I want the specific process of each stage.”

Usually, the leader only needs the final result, and that’s enough, but for the sake of Tan Yan’s heart, Minister Yu asked for a detailed process.

Only then did Qiao Zhixue say: “I’m not a medical professional, follow up is just to confirm my suspicions, I can only repeat the doctor’s words.”

“How are they?” Tan Yan said nervously.

“According to the doctor, the situation is not very good. ‘Jackal No. 3’ and Qin Li are slightly lighter, third-degree frostbite deepening second-degree burns, after treatment they may be able to heal, a large area of skin on the body will leave scars, fine movements of the hands will become very difficult. Local nerves were affected and reduced tactile.”

With every word he said, Tan Yan’s face turned white, like a frightened child, standing blankly in front of Qiao Zhixue.

“What about Liang Xian?” There is depression in Minister Yu’s voice.

“He is the most serious, his feet and arms were already injured, and now the injury is added to the injury, fourth-degree frostbite and fourth-degree burns, all muscles and bones were damaged, and internal organs are temporarily unclear, especially the broken arm, it may need to be amputated, the hospital hopes we can contact his family members for consent.” Qiao Zhixue replied.

Minister Yu slammed his fist on the wall, three young people with a bright future, just like that…

Tan Yan sat on the ground with his head in his arms. He took the three children out and said he wanted to protect them, but in the end, he destroyed them.

Seeing Tan Yan’s appearance, Qiao Zhixue knelt down and said: “That’s why I said I would say after further examination.”

“?” Tan Yan raised his head, the watermarks in his eyes had not yet been wiped off, and his big eyes were watery, even if Qiao Zhixue knew his real age was fifty-eight years old, at this time, he also felt that he was like a poor little puppy.

Averting his gaze awkwardly, Qiao Zhixue continued in a calm voice: “I took the time to do a series of tests while the doctors were rescuing them, but I was kicked out and only got a few results. All three of them have special energy fields remaining on their bodies, in addition…”

“What else?” There was also a tremor in Minister Yu’s voice.

“In addition, they are obviously unconscious, but the activity of brain cells is frighteningly high.” Qiao Zhixue took out a picture, “Normal humans have about 14-15 billion brain cells, but at most only 10% are developed and utilized, and most of the rest are in a dormant state. Some research statistics believe that 98.5% of brain cells are dormant, and only 1% are really involved in functional activities. They are clearly in a coma now, but 30% of the cells in their brains are working.”

“Their bodies…” Tan Yan didn’t understand what Qiao Zhixue was saying at all.

Good thing there are Minister Yu to answer: “Are you thinking that the reason this 30% of brain cells are so active is to promote their self-healing?”

“The probability is high,” Qiao Zhixue said, “I suggest that after the doctors do the most basic rescue, put them in the observation room and wait and see what happens. And I also want to do a scan of Tan Yan’s brain. Although I have collected his physical information before, but after the inspection, if there is any difference between him and a normal person, at most his physical fitness is better. This time the three of them were injured and comatose gave me a new way of thinking, I suspect that Tan Yan does not have any extraordinary ability physically, his secret lies in his brain.”

“Eh?” Tan Yan looked puzzled, “But I haven’t even learned trigonometric functions yet…”

Qiao Zhixue: “…”

“Forget it, you don’t need to understand, go with me to do the check.” Qiao Zhixue gives up explaining to Tan Yan, he is in urgent need of the three people in the rescue room to wake up, he heard that Liang Xian is a high achiever, only 19 years old, and was favored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, often called to observe and learn, and he believes that he must be able to understand his words.

“I’ll go when the three of them wake up.” Tan Yan, who has always cooperated with the research, rejected Qiao Zhixue at this time, now he will not leave the emergency room.

“Let him stay here.” Minister Yu made a decision, “There are many things to ask the four of them, but the most important thing now is to do everything possible to rescue the three little heroes who came back from another world. They have made great contributions to the safety of the Earth, we are proud of their sacrifices.”

Tan Yan: “…”

From returning to Earth until now, people have been asking them what happened in another world that make the three of them end up in this situation. No matter what the organization asks Tan Yan, he didn’t say anything, he wanted to wait for three people to wake up before talking.

Actually… can’t explain.

The four of them obviously could come back unscathed, but the other three insisted on possessing superpowers, and finally tossed themselves half to death.

Especially Liang Xian, he kept yelling that he had already felt the special power. Both Ah San and Qin Li were carried by Tan Yan, and he was still crawling on the ground, insisting not to let Tan Yan carry him.

It wasn’t until his consciousness was blurred that Liang Xian grabbed Tan Yan’s sleeve and said with difficulty: “When you take us back, absolutely, absolutely don’t say such humiliating things about us, absolutely don’t say it!”

The dazed Liang Xian had only one thought in his mind, he had been number one since he was a child, he must not let his classmates know that he was so embarrassed because he did it all by himself, moreover, it had nothing to do with hard work.

And Tan Yan kept his promise, he didn’t open his mouth no matter what. He just waited for Liang Xian to wake up and explain it himself.

With Tan Yan’s ability to cover up, even the most inexperienced rookie can see what he is hiding, but if Minister Yu didn’t order a strict interrogation, everyone had no choice but to let him wait in front of the emergency room.

“I don’t know what you’re hiding,” Minister Yu trustingly said, “But having experienced the world beyond the ‘void’, I know how dangerous it is, and from the condition of the three of them it is clear that the world you have encountered is more dangerous than what I have seen. If you don’t want to talk about what they’ve been through, I won’t force you.”

Anyway, those three people are trained and politically baptized and will definitely talk.

After coming out of the emergency room, the doctor suggested contacting the family members of the three injured immediately. Although they are all soldiers of the country, the parents of the affected patients still need to sign and agree to some treatment plans. And this kind of injury cannot be concealed at all, the family has the right to know.

Minister Yu withstood the pressure, listened to Qiao Zhixue’s words, and did not leak the news. Instead, he pushed the three people with IV drip into the intensive care observation room.

Qiao Zhixue put a 24-hour monitor on their brains to observe the activity of their brain cells all the time.

Military doctors were also arranged for inspection and monitoring to observe the physical condition of the three people at any time and anywhere.

No change could be seen for a day or two, but by the fifth day, Qiao Zhixue could already see with the naked eye that the scars on Ah San and the others were getting lighter.

The doctor immediately examined Liang Xian’s arm and the damaged musculoskeletal structure and was surprised to find that the necrotic muscles were gradually recovering.

Without any medication, the bodies of the three of them showed a resilience that is different from ordinary people.

Tan Yan and others, who had been waiting outside the intensive care unit, breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from their recovery speed, within a month, the three of them will probably heal without medicine.

“What a miracle in the history of medicine,” A veteran professor of medicine at the Ministry of State Security was shocked, “How can the human body do this?”

“Should not be the body, but the brain.” Qiao Zhixue took out the graph of the brain cell activity in the past few days. The curve showed a continuous upward trend, and it had risen from 30% to 35%. Liang Xian was the fastest, reaching 40%.

“I’m really curious how active your brain is,” Qiao Zhixue’s eyes were shining strangely, as if he wanted to lift Tan Yan’s skull off with his sight, “I believe it must be higher than them.”

Tan Yan didn’t believe it at all, Liang Xian and the others were all college students, he heard from Ah San that he was the senior of Liang Xian and the others, he also graduated from a special class and was a doctoral student majoring in military engineering. They are so smart, it is normal for their brain cells to be highly active, but as a rough person, his brain probably only developed to 0.5%.

Qiao Zhixue scoffed at his argument, waiting for the test results to come out in the future, and slapped Tan Yan hard in the face.

“Since the body has recovered so well, why were they still in a coma?” Minister Yu asked, puzzled.

“I’m guessing it’s the brain’s self-preservation,” Qiao Zhixue analyzed, “In order to recover as soon as possible, stop all bodily functions and focus on self-healing, for this reason, the brain forces them into a coma. The higher the activity level, the faster the recovery rate should be.”

He rubbed his hands together: “Wake up quickly, I can’t wait to ask, what kind of miraculous world was that!”

As if to confirm Qiao Zhixue’s words, Liang Xian’s recovery speed was obviously faster than the other two, and he was the first to recover and wake up half a month later, even though he was the most seriously injured.

At this time, the three of them had been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general observation room. When Liang Xian woke up, Tan Yan was sitting at his bedside, helping him to cut his nails.

The sunlight hit Tan Yan’s young face, reflecting his skin as if it were transparent.

He lowered his head and his long eyelashes drooped, giving off a sense of quiet beauty.

Liang Xian felt his heart start to beat uncontrollably again.


The author has something to say:

Descartes1笛卡爾 Dí kǎ’ěr: Descartes.: I am the soul of this article, cogito, ergo sum2我思故我在 Wǒ sī gùwǒ zài: I think therefore I am..

Qiao Zhixue: Don’t make trouble, I’m trying to use science to explain supernatural powers, comprehension, and Western fantasy magic.
