Chapter fifty-seven long nights, unintentional sleep
Walking on the curved and surrounding cement steps, Liu Tianming heard the sound of footsteps coming from directly above him.
Song Jiahao moved very quickly, and it was less than ten minutes away from Liu Tianming. In this quiet and uninhabited environment, the infected body's keen hearing ability was enough to hear the slightest movement.
Two bright flashlights intersected in the air. As soon as they rose and fell, Liu Tianming saw Song Jiahao walking down the ring-shaped steps, and the latter also saw the young intern doctor who was shining the flashlight at him, looking nervous.
Liu Tianming recognized the young new dean. His eyes twitched and he barely showed a stiff smile.
"Director Song... what are you doing here?" Liu Tianming stammered. As soon as he said, he realized that he had made a mistake and shouldn't have asked this at all.
Song Jiahao looked down at the shiny leather shoes and picked up a pretty clean piece on the moss-covered ground. He used the flashlight in his hand to shine under the steps and said lightly: "Doctor Liu, this is also the question I want to ask you."
Liu Tianming stopped talking.
At this time, nothing is appropriate.
"I have seen the evaluation of you in the department. You are an excellent intern, with strong hands-on ability and solid theoretical foundation. You can also put forward your own unique insights on some special cases. You are friendly to others, have good popularity, and have strong affinity... Haha! These praises are not what I said, they are all comments given to you by the department supervisor and chief physician. Oh, I almost forgot. Dr. Liu is a talented person. I heard that he has a very beautiful girlfriend in the urology department. Is that true?"
Song Jiahao is good at seizing opportunities. Liu Tianming knew that this was one of the basic techniques for practical psychology. However, he was already in a very embarrassing position and could only hold his head down and listen to Song Jiahao silently.
"Today is the fifth day. When I first met you before, it was six days in total."
Song Jiahao had a somewhat arrogant voice echoing in the air-raid shelter: "Every night, Dr. Liu, you will sneak into this hole. I visited the engineering department, and the workers said that you had asked about this old air-raid shelter before. You have found the entrance and exit here, and the workers told you that you could come in from the No. 3 medicine warehouse. So, can you tell me what you are doing here?"
Liu Tianming was a little afraid. This was not because he was afraid of Song Jiahao, but because of the psychological barrier caused by the status of two people. Just like soldiers and officers, ordinary staff and senior government officials, they have nothing to do with personal abilities, and are simply suppressive effects caused by inertial thinking.
The dull atmosphere made Song Jiahao's face look obviously unpleasant. But he did not have an attack, but looked at the dark space under his feet and said lightly: "No one would come in in this kind of place. Chief Hu of the Engineering Department said that this is a larger basement, and the hospital has never stored things here. The quality of the project in the past was very good, and the walls were so strong that even mice could not enter. However, even if the mice came in, there was nothing to eat here. There was no food or food, and the result of being locked up would be to starve to death. Since that's the case, then I don't understand, Dr. Liu, what kind of attractiveness does this cave have to you?"
Song Jiahao put his left hand into his pocket of his shirt, tiptoed on his heel, and slowly shook his body: "Doctor Liu, we are about the same age. Don't you want to say something? I am not your enemy, and you don't need to treat me as the dean. To be honest, I can treat it as if I didn't see it, and I don't know what happened. But at least you have to let me understand the purpose of your doing this."
The initial fear was gradually disappearing with the passage of time. Liu Tianming had already reacted. He raised his head and stared at Song Jiahao in the dark, with a calm expression: "I am just interested in the special revolutionary history in the past, so I want to come in and take a look."
What a joke, your secret cannot be deceived and told by someone just a few words.
Song Jiahao's face was full of suspicion: "Is this true?"
Liu Tianming spread his hands, and the expression on his face was very innocent: "Director Song, you said it yourself. This is an empty basement. There are nothing here. There are many people during the day, so it is easy to attract attention if you come in. There are few people at night, so it is convenient for me to sneak in and stroll around."
Song Jiahao's eyes were full of disbelief: "It's so simple to just wander around? You will come in secretly at this time for six consecutive days. So what before? Before I came, you were like this every day? Doctor Liu, your interest in studying history is too enthusiastic, right? It would be fine if you don't sleep for a whole night, but you have been a night owl for so long, aren't you sleepy?"
Liu Tianming was amused by this kind of teasing question and said seriously: "I suffer from severe insomnia and can't sleep at night. Since you have seen it all today, I can't continue to do research. OK! I'll leave now."
It was obviously a scoundrel, but Song Jiahao had no choice but to do anything to him.
He stood in the middle of the steps, blocking Liu Tianming's way, and said seriously: "Doctor Liu, you should believe me and treat me as your friend."
Liu Tianming looked calm: "That's what I think now. Come on! Dean Song, let us leave here and find a place outside to have two bottles of beer and get some food. No matter what you want to know, I will tell you."
No matter what, you should leave the air raid shelter as soon as possible. As long as you get outside, Liu Tianming will have a way to get rid of this matter.
Song Jiahao turned around in a depressed mood.
Obviously, he was not satisfied with the answer.
But there was no way. At most, Liu Tianming's actions violated the hospital's regulations and had nothing to do with theft of property. This was a smart guy. He knew that he could not do anything to him, so he would not tell his secret honestly.
OK! It seems that I can only leave here for the time being. At worst, after dawn, I will ask the engineering department to come in and take a closer look. Maybe I can find something.
Just as Song Jiahao turned around, he suddenly heard an extremely slight vibration coming from the dark space beneath his feet.
"Bang, bang bang————"
The sound is very light, but it sounds very clear in a dead environment.
Song Jiahao stopped and asked subconsciously: "What's the sound?"
Liu Tianming raised his whole heart high, and a fierce cold light flashed deep in his eyes.
It was the sound of Mrs. Chen hitting the wall.
During this period, she has been feeding her. Although Chen Po lost her sense of autonomy and became an irrational spreading form infection. However, after so many days, she has become a sense of dependence on this feeding and even has a unique biological clock. Now, Liu Tianming has been entangled here by Song Jiahao, which has exceeded the normal feeding period. Chen Po is hungry and is using this method to convey her irritability and anxiety.
Song Jiahao looked directly at Liu Tianming and sneered slightly: "Doctor Liu, it seems you have lied to me. Tell me, what's underneath?"
Liu Tianming replied in a cold tone: "I don't need to tell you."
Song Jiahao raised his eyebrows: "Of course, you can not say it. This is your freedom. Since that's the case, let's wait till dawn! When the engineering department comes down, everything can be understood."
This is Song Jiahao's trump card. It is very direct, but very effective.
"No, you can't do that!"
Suddenly, Liu Tianming suddenly increased his voice, and even spoke with a bit of ruthlessness: "You must not let someone come in."
"Why?"
Song Jiahao asked back: "Give me a reason. It is not difficult for me to communicate with, and I must have a suitable reason to convince me."
Looking at the aggressive new dean, Liu Tianming suddenly felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
Can't let people come in.
They will find Chen Po locked in the wall.
Liu Tianming could imagine what a terrible disaster it was - a worker who knew nothing had smashed the wall and the irrational Chen Po rushed out. She felt hungry at any time and would treat all the humans that could be seen as food. Many people died because of this, and then there was a large-scale virus infection. More people would become monsters like Chen Po.
Song Jiahao paid attention to Liu Tianming's emotional changes. He asked tentatively: "Why, is there anything you can't say?"
Liu Tianming raised his head and said firmly, "You can't let someone come in. Otherwise, you will regret it."
"no problem!"
Song Jiahao did not agree unconditionally: "But at least you should let me know what is going on here? Why do you have to come in every night?"
After pausing, Song Jiahao changed into a sincere tone: "I promise, if Dr. Liu's secret involves money or other interests, I will never interfere."
In just a few seconds, countless thoughts broke into Liu Tianming's mind.
He wanted to kill Song Jiahao.
But this will only cause greater trouble.
Maybe Song Jiahao is right, let him know what happened and understand everything he did.
He is the director of the hospital. His power, responsibility, and all resources that can be mobilized are far beyond me.
Maybe he is the key to completely solve all problems!
silence.
The "bang bang" sound of impact under the steps did not stop.
When Mrs. Chen smelled the stranger's breath, she felt more and more hungry.
After watching Song Jiahao for several minutes, Liu Tianming nodded slowly and heavily: "Come with me."
Anyway, things have reached this point, and it is impossible to continue to hide them.
I hope this new dean will not disappoint him.
If he goes back on his word...
A hint of cruelty flashed across Liu Tianming's eyes.
