Chapter 7

"Our Yutong has always been cold and not good at expressing herself, so I'll speak for her."

"Little handsome Li, three days ago we all fell onto this bronze ship that was so huge we couldn't find the direction. You lost a lot of blood and were in danger, urgently needing a blood transfusion. Only your senior brother and my good sister were willing to draw blood for you."

"But your senior brother's blood type didn't match, so it all fell on her!" Seeing Qi Shanshan's lips were rosy and crystal clear, and she always had a smile on her face, with a charming style.

A healer with such a dazzling style was a good medicine herself.

Only then did Li Youyi know that he had been asleep for three days.

"Many thanks, senior sister, many thanks, Dr. Qi."

Li Youyi wanted to support his body to sit up, but apart from the burning pain, his left arm had no other sensation. His right arm, which was receiving a blood transfusion, also couldn't exert much strength.

The injury was even more serious than he had estimated.

Seeing Qi Shanshan said: "Better just lie down! The wound on your left arm almost completely tore the muscle, deep to the bone, with cracks in the bone. Although it was cleaned and stitched, the medicine in the medical cabin was almost all destroyed, and we didn't find many suitable ones. Being able to carry it for now doesn't mean there won't be some subsequent problems."

"Rest well, drink some water."

Cai Yutong said little, handed over a bottle of opened water, and walked out of the medical shed with Seeing Qi Shanshan.

The deck of the bronze ship was too vast, and the ship's width alone reached five hundred meters. Because the fog was thick, one couldn't see the other end from this end.

Outside the medical shed, it was a gloomy and hazy tombstone forest, all shrouded in nether mist, with a very creepy and terrifying ghost domain atmosphere.

Like a foggy winter morning.

The few grave mounds within reach could still be seen clearly, seven or eight meters high, like small earth hills, not knowing what kind of creatures were buried.

In front of some graves, there were broken and old ghost flags, swaying in the wind, with strange patterns.

Those tombstones were all very huge, weighing tens of thousands of jin, with severe stone skin falling off, and the ancient characters carved on them were blurred. Several old professors were studying and arguing underneath.

On the other side.

The hundred-meter-long research vessel lay on its side on the empty deck, broken into two pieces. Various steel structures, whether extending or curved, were exposed at the broken places, forming passages into the cabin.

A large number of strong young research team members were rescuing materials inside, wanting to transfer everything that could be used out.

Shouting, the sound of material collisions, footsteps... intertwined in the fog.

Cai Yutong was no longer wearing thick cold-weather gear, but a leather windbreaker, with a knitted half-skirt inside, the curves of her chest and waist very smooth, and tight jeans showing the long, straight lines of her legs.

She didn't need exquisite or deliberate dressing to make many passing research team members peek frequently or look from afar.

There were also some gazes looking at Seeing Qi Shanshan. The clean, jade-like long legs under her doctor's uniform were extremely eye-catching, and her beauty was only a notch lower than Cai Yutong's.

"Do you feel the change?" Seeing Qi Shanshan looked at the nether mist and dark clouds outside the rail wall, whispering with a smile without leaving a trace.

Cai Yutong said: "What change?"

"You, your wisdom is all used in academics!" Seeing Qi Shanshan's expression became much more grave, and her voice was lower: "Didn't you notice that compared to before, the way they look at us has become bolder and more aggressive?"

"Is there?"

Cai Yutong looked at the research team members, deck workers, and security team members who were busy.

Seeing Qi Shanshan was somewhat disappointed: "Do you think we can still go back?"

"Earth... the macroscopic Earth?"

Cai Yutong thought for a moment: "We don't even know how we fell into this bronze ship. Wanting to go back is probably as difficult as ascending to heaven; the microscopic and macroscopic are two worlds themselves. You say, where is this bronze ship sailing? What kind of shore will it take us to?"

The nether mist was too thick to see the sea surface below the ship's hull, but one could feel the bronze ship moving rapidly.

Seeing Qi Shanshan had no interest in discussing things she couldn't control with her, saying: "If we can't go back, do you think everyone will still be bound by law and morality like before?"

Cai Yutong was not stupid, but very smart, just focused on doing things, not as deep-minded as Seeing Qi Shanshan.

Since she raised this question, Cai Yutong also calculated in her heart: "When human nature loses its constraints, civilization and morality will collapse, and the former social identity will lose its meaning, replaced by savagery, or rather... power, absolute power."

"Whoever has stronger power will definitely not be willing to be led or commanded, but will choose to resist and seize power, accompanied by bloodshed and violence."

"Now this bronze ship has clearly become an independent small world."

Seeing Qi Shanshan added: "And it is a small world with scarce materials. If the bronze ship keeps sailing like this, it won't take long before power changes and the dark side of human nature will be displayed bloodily. You and I have no power to truss a chicken, and we have the beauty and figure that the chaotic world shouldn't have. If we don't plan in advance, the outcome will probably be very miserable."

Cai Yutong said: "Are you that afraid of being targeted?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of being targeted, but I clearly know that setting aside all knowledge and identity, I am really just a weak woman. Why don't you have such a sense of crisis?"

Seeing Qi Shanshan corrected her somewhat angrily, and added: "The one with the strongest martial power on the ship is undoubtedly First Mate Zhao Meng."

Cai Yutong had a smile in her eyes: "Do you have ideas? You wouldn't want to..."

Seeing Qi Shanshan shook her head before she could finish: "Zhao Meng has strong personal strength and is full of righteousness, having the temperament of a leader, but his vigilance toward the changes in the situation is too low. He is still busy rescuing materials on the research vessel."

"On the contrary, Second Mate Xie Tianshu, I have observed secretly for the past three days; he has been building relationships with security team members and is also very close to the young research team members. This kind of high-ranking family child understands power and human nature better and has more ambition."

Immediately after, Seeing Qi Shanshan said in a half-joking tone: "I see Xie Tianshu's cousin Xie Jin is very interested in you. How about we take one each, use our own means, distribute fairly, neither of us competes with the other, and take these two brothers down in advance?"

Cai Yutong knew that Seeing Qi Shanshan was not alarmist, but she had no interest in the "planning in advance" she mentioned: "When civilization and morality really collapse, why should I live in this hell on earth? Jumping off this rail wall isn't a very difficult thing."

Seeing Qi Shanshan rolled her eyes: "I don't know you? You just took a fancy to that junior brother with a strong body inside, right? I must solemnly remind you, don't be infatuated; in our current situation, handsome guys are useless."

"Besides... his situation is very bad. Even if the wound on his left arm heals, he definitely won't be able to lift heavy objects in the future, equivalent to half-crippled."

"In addition, most animal claws carry viruses, and the virus on that bear-like creature's claws is probably even more powerful, posing a huge potential threat."

"So are you really sure that in the future when materials are short and turmoil may break out at any time, you choose such a burden?"

Cai Yutong stretched out her snow-white fingers and said extremely seriously: "First of all, I didn't choose anyone. Secondly, on the research vessel, if he hadn't stepped forward to lure the bear-like creature away, I might have died long ago! One thing is one thing; what I owe, I will definitely pay back. Also, you'd better not hang the word 'burden' on your lips; if he hears it, how much psychological pressure will he have?"

Seeing Qi Shanshan laughed: "Still saying you don't care, I've never seen you care so much about any man. What was that sentence popular in our school before? Senior sister is affectionate, junior brother is handsome, teach learning first then teach love... Okay, okay, I won't say it in the future... Really don't consider the matter of planning in advance? Don't regret it!"

Cai Yutong ignored her and walked straight toward the open-air kitchen shed built below the broken research vessel.

Li Youyi didn't find the Yellow Dragon Sword, and the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish that should have been hanging around his neck was nowhere to be found. His body was extremely weak, and he drank half a bottle of water before recovering some strength.

But a strong sense of hunger followed.

Cai Yutong walked in holding a bowl of steaming fish soup.

The fragrance instantly filled the iron medical shed.

Helping Li Youyi sit up, she said: "Knowing you were hungry, I grabbed a bowl for you in advance. Cherish such delicacies; the freezer has broken down, refrigeration has failed, and meat and fish products are estimated to be edible for these few days. The time that vegetables and fruits can be preserved won't be too long either."

The reason she said the latter sentence was clearly influenced by Seeing Qi Shanshan's previous words, feeling worried about the future situation.

Li Youyi was still receiving a blood transfusion in his right arm and couldn't use his hands.

He could only be fed spoonful by spoonful by Cai Yutong.

It had to be said that Cai Yutong, who was not covered by cold-weather gear, was definitely a top beauty, her eyes cold and bright, her skin delicate and fair, her lips elegant. Looking at her through the wisps of white mist from the fish soup, she added a bit of hazy beauty.

No matter how bad the situation was, if there was such a senior sister taking care of him attentively, it must be a happy thing.

Li Youyi knew what kind of cold personality Cai Yutong had, and his heart was naturally very moved.

So he thanked her again.

Just at this time, Seeing Qi Shanshan and two students brought fish soup in to see Professor Xu, who had broken both legs.

"It was your senior brother who begged me to take good care of you. Now that the injured are injured and the dead are dead, manpower is in short supply, and I can't be an idler, right?" Cai Yutong said this, wanting to throw the fish soup down and let Li Youyi drink it himself; she always felt that the three people passing by behind were looking at her with strange eyes.

At this moment, she and Li Youyi were somewhat ambiguous, easily causing misunderstandings.

Professor Xu was lying on the hospital bed next to Li Youyi, his eyes not as bright as before, his emotions unstable: "We definitely can't go back. Since the freezer is damaged, the food can support us for at most half a month. No, in ten days, there will be a big mess. When all the food that needs refrigeration spoils, there will definitely be a big mess... survival of the fittest... I have already seen that day... animals will return to their nature..."

Hearing the worries expressed by Cai Yutong and Professor Xu one after another, the delicious fish soup in his mouth gradually lost its taste. He wanted to walk out immediately to see what the situation outside was like.

Ten days.

The injury on his arm was definitely unable to recover.

Li Youyi drank all the fish soup with a heart full of doubts and confusion, his body gradually warmed up, and he had strength.

After Cai Yutong, Seeing Qi Shanshan, and the two postgraduate students left, he asked Professor Xu about the inside story of the "Buddha's Sarira" and the "microscopic world."

After understanding the truth, he thought secretly: "The Buddha's Sarira should be the fish eye that was lost and found on the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish! Could it be that the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish activated the bronze ship, causing the entire research team to fall into the microscopic, thus embarking on this unknown journey?"

"Microscopic? Is it really the microscopic in the textbook?"

Li Youyi only felt that all this was too unbelievable, completely beyond cognition. Plus he was seriously injured and had no sense of security, his emotions were also unstable like Professor Xu next to him, gradually becoming anxious.

"No, can't be like this."

"Even girls like senior sister and Dr. Qi can remain calm in the face of huge changes. Is my state of mind really not as good as theirs? That would be too ashamed of Master's years of teaching."

"If the heart is chaotic, the spirit moves; if the intention is chaotic, the soul is lost."

That sentence Master often hung on his lips rang in Li Youyi's mind, and then, he took a deep breath and swallowed the energy of heaven and earth according to the Jade Void Breathing Method.

On Earth, he practiced the Jade Void Breathing Method for at least three hours every day for more than ten years.

Although he didn't cultivate any internal strength or true Qi.

But when breathing and exhaling, his heart and spirit could quickly calm down, and all distracting thoughts would disappear.

This was the reason he could treat danger calmly and not be dominated by inner fear when facing danger. When facing the bear-like creature, he was actively performing the Jade Void Breathing Method to find that state of quietness without distracting thoughts.

Lying on the hospital bed, after performing breathing and exhaling for about half an hour, Li Youyi calmed down completely and entered a mysterious and strange state of emptiness.

The center of his right foot suddenly became burning hot, as if it were burning.

Such a situation had never appeared before.
