Chapter Nine, The Nameless Package

Cai Zixuan possesses the talent for cooking and often prepares exquisite soups. Everyone has benefited from a few bowls of his delightful soups, thus any violations regarding electrical appliances are nonexistent

Am I overthinking this? Gu Jun shook his head, feeling a bit paranoid lately due to those illusions...

Two hours have passed, "No. 231, Wei Ziru."

"It is an international package, and it is right on your desk." Cai Zixuan was also quite puzzled, "The lady in the mailroom said this package had been sitting with them for several days because the recipient's information was unclear. They called the dormitory today to inquire and finally confirmed it was you, so they delivered it."

Now that there is a second chance, it must be seized, leaving no regrets behind

The clock on the wall of the emergency department waiting area was ticking away. Gu Jun watched the second hand make one circle after another, and in the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed. He felt no unusual sensations in his body, and the tension in his heart gradually eased.

Gu Jun walked towards the campus, with various thoughts continuously emerging. Given the backgrounds of the three of them, they shouldn't be at risk of being kidnapped, right? Could it be that the helicopter crashed that day? Impossible, otherwise the old captain would have gone mad that night. Moreover, there has been no news regarding this matter.

The dormitory area consists of unremarkable old apartments, with a view filled with air conditioners, clothing, and protective nets, along with some balcony plants

Number 186, Li Zixuan. The announcement called out another number, and immediately some parents rushed towards the emergency room holding their children, while others stood up, emotionally agitated, asking the passing nurses why it was not yet their child's turn

He knows that this mysterious force of the system is related to the anomalies of the Longkan submarine volcanic belt. There are anomalies in Longkan, and they are currently active. The remarks of Li Lerui and the other two also corroborate this; they must have received some news that prompted them to go on an expedition

The efficacy of the herbal medicine is indeed remarkable

Because I did not exchange contact information with Lin Xiaotang at that time, I do not know how she is doing now

Suddenly, Gu Jun noticed a man at the intersection ahead looking in his direction, as if he were staring at him. As their eyes met, the man turned and walked away

Drip, drip

Students in the eight-year program also live in dormitories with four people per room, which are not large. Each person has a bunk bed against the wall and a desk with a wardrobe underneath. The desks are all piled high with various books, as well as items such as stethoscopes and human skeleton models, which are typically found among medical students.

He tightened his grip on the medicine bottle, let out a long breath, and thought to himself that he should not die after all; the saying that bad people live long is indeed true

An hour has passed, "No. 208, Zhang Haoxuan"

At that moment, a sudden chime echoed in his mind, and a system prompt box appeared:

He remained vigilant, paying attention on his way back to the campus dormitory area, but did not spot the man again

Your brainstem tumor is being suppressed by medication and has temporarily stopped growing

Half a month has passed, and neither Li Lerui nor Wu Dong has contacted him again. A few days ago, he took the initiative to message them on WeChat, but received no reply, and when he called them, their phones were turned off. It was as if these two had evaporated from the world.

There is a large pot. Oh right. Cai Zixuan suddenly remembered something, "The mailroom just delivered a package for you."

I want to study medicine diligently and become a good doctor, Gu Jun thought to himself

Gu Jun was lost in thought as he arrived at the fifth floor of one of the apartment buildings and walked into a dormitory.

The system did not specify how long it would take for his condition to be treated, and the text on the medicine box is incomprehensible. However, if the alternative medicine can maintain such an anti-tumor effect on his tumor, it is very likely that the tumor will gradually shrink until it disappears. It may take several months, or it may take years, it is uncertain.

Drip, drip

Ah. Gu Jun put away his belongings and stood up to leave. The waiting area behind him remained noisy, with parents and children facing difficulties, and the doctors truly working hard.

Receiving room? Gu Jun was taken aback, as he had not purchased anything online

It is still summer vacation now, and only he and Cai Zixuan are living in the dormitory

Gu Jun is wary of the potential conflicts that may erupt around him; today is truly not a suitable time to become embroiled in disputes

Oh? Gu Jun walked towards his desk in confusion, noticing a small yellow paper package on it. He picked it up and examined the shipping label, which had both English and Chinese, indicating it was sent from the Maldives. The sender was a string of numbers "233333", and the recipient was "Gu Jun, Eight-Year Program Student, Mailroom of the Medical School, Dongzhou University"

Perhaps that was just a passerby? Was his impression of him merely a sense of déjà vu? Gu Jun could not be certain

As soon as Gu Jun entered the dormitory, he smelled a fragrant aroma in the air. He saw Cai Zixuan sitting by the balcony reading a book, with a purple clay pot beside him. The lid of the pot was bubbling and making popping sounds, with steam rising gently. Gu Jun then asked, "Zixuan, what soup are you making?"

Upon exiting the hospital, Gu Jun stepped outside and gazed at the azure sky, feeling a sense of renewed emotion

A thought suddenly surged in his mind, could it be from Li Lerui and the others?

Is that so? Gu Jun immediately opened the host information section of the system to observe the changes in various indicators of his body. There were no abnormalities, only the heart rate was decreasing.

He frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. This person... it seemed that he had seen this man before in recent days. With a buzz cut, an ordinary build, and an unremarkable appearance, he looked just like an average middle-aged man. However, he felt that there was an indescribable, sinister strangeness in the man's gaze

Gu Jun looked at the 33 capsules contained in a small vial in his hand, some of which were obtained from tasks completed in the past week, and thought, "It seems that they can really be used clinically"

The emergency department operates on a tiered calling system, where patients with urgent conditions are prioritized for treatment. However, the emergency department does not always have a high volume of urgent cases; often, there is a large group of children, who could also be seen in the pediatric outpatient clinic, waiting and crying to be called.

Gu Jun is most concerned about whether his parents' matters from back then are related to this. Where exactly is the Sea Bird?

"Pig kidney and pig liver goji berry soup." Cai Zixuan put down the "Pathology" book in his hands, wiped his weary old face, and said: "Today, the laboratory next door dissected two pigs, both of which were good pigs that had not been treated with any drugs. These internal organs are all to be discarded as medical waste. I noticed that everyone has been so exhausted from experiments lately, so I suggested to the class monitor to collect them and make some soup for everyone. I will bring it over tonight to nourish everyone, and the class monitor granted me half a day off."

Gu Jun wants to know the situation, whether it is the outcome of Li Lerui's fracture surgery or the result regarding that mobile phone

The animal experiments for the variant drug need to continue to assess the long-term efficacy, as those nude mice do not consume much powder in a day anyway. Their breeding and administration can be entrusted to the nude mouse facility. I still have some savings, but I definitely have little free time left

Maldives

Previously, he had indeed reflected on his living conditions over the past few years, and he even entertained the thought that his terminal illness was a punishment from heaven for him

"Is there any for me?" Gu Jun felt a bit of saliva gather in his mouth, not surprised by the source of the pig's entrails. In the past, they had even brought back the carcasses of rabbits dissected in their animal experimentation class to have hot pot...

Is something wrong

Upon seeing the items in the cardboard box, he was immediately filled with both surprise and suspicion

Gu Jun immediately picked up a pair of scissors from the table and carefully opened the package, which contained a small cardboard box, and continued to unwrap it

Moreover, some matters require clarification

Did Li Lerui actually capture anything? Gu Jun walked over to the shaded area and took out his phone to take a look

Gu Jun sat from morning until noon, and then from noon until evening, spending a total of ten hours in the emergency department, continuously recording his bodily metrics on his phone. All indicators were healthy and stable, and he indeed felt much more comfortable in his head, with the heavy pain gradually alleviating
