Chasing the Dawn

Ch9: Nameless Express

Tick, tick.

The clock on the wall of the emergency department waiting area was ticking. Arthur Wenlock watched the second hand go round and round, and five minutes passed in a blink of an eye. He didn't feel anything strange in his body, and the tension in his heart gradually eased.

"No. 186, please go to the clinic." The broadcast called another number, and immediately, one parent rushed to the emergency room with their children in their arms. Some parents stood up and excitedly asked the passing nurses why their children hadn't yet been called.

Arthur was wary of possible conflicts around him. It was not appropriate to get involved in disputes today...

At this time, there was a ding-dong sound in his mind, and a system prompt box popped up:

[Your brainstem tumor is suppressed by drugs and has temporarily stopped growing. ]

Really? Arthur immediately opened the system's host information column and observed changes in various body indicators. There was no abnormality, but his heart rate was decreasing.

Tick, tick.

An hour passed, "No. 208, please come to the clinic."

Two hours passed, "No. 231, please come to the clinic."

Arthur sat in the emergency department from morning to noon and noon to evening, recording his body indicators on his mobile phone for ten hours. All indicators were healthy and stable, and he did feel much more comfortable in his head, and the heavy pain was reduced...

"The effect of "strange words medicine" is significant."

Arthur looked at the 33 capsules in a small medicine bottle in his hand, which he had obtained from completing the task in the past week. "It seems that it can be used clinically."

The system did not say how long it would take for his condition to be cured, and the words on the medicine box were incomprehensible, but if "strange words medicine" can maintain such an anti-tumor effect on his tumor, the tumor is likely to shrink and disappear slowly. It may take a few months or even a few years.

He clenched the medicine bottle in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps he doesn't need to die.

"Well." Arthur put away his things and stood up to leave. The waiting area behind him was still noisy. It was difficult for the parents and children, and the doctors were very hard-working.

After leaving the hospital gate, Arthur looked at the blue sky. He had a new mood.

The animal experiment of "strange words medicine" should continue to be done to see the long-term efficacy. Anyway, those nude mice can't eat much medicine powder a day. Their feeding and medication can be entrusted to the nude mouse room. I still have some savings, but I don't have much free time.

"I want to study medicine well and be a good doctor," Arthur said to himself.

It's not that he didn't reflect on his life in the past few years before, even though that terminal illness was God's punishment for him.

Now that he has a second chance, he must seize it and leave no regrets.

And some things need to be checked clearly.

He knew that the mysterious power of the system was related to the abnormality of the Longkan submarine volcanic belt. There were anomalies in Longkan, and it was active. The words of Michael Taylor and the other two also confirmed this point. They went on the expedition because of some news.

Arthur wondered if his parents' incident had anything to do with this. Where was the Seabird?

"Did Michael take any photos?" Arthur walked to the shade of the trees and checked his phone.
