In the room, the atmosphere was slightly cold.

Cheng Le Yi stared closely into Fang Cheng's eyes, trying to find any flaw in it.

But there was nothing but doubt and curiosity in those deep eyes.

She could only withdraw her gaze and shook her head:

"Nothing, just asking casually. Our team handled a case there at that time, so Memory is still fresh."

Listening to Cheng Le Yi's explanation, Fang Cheng nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Then he turned around and patted Lin Xu Hao on the shoulder:

"Okay, Hao Ge, get up and try some exercise."

"Ah, so fast?"

Lin Xu Hao jumped up from the bed as if he had been granted amnesty.

He stood on the ground, first twisted his neck, and then moved his left arm widely.

I only heard a series of "click-click" sounds coming from the shoulder joints.

"Hu--"

Lin Xu Hao exhaled a long breath, his face full of surprise:

"It's so cool! It's so cool! Brother Fang, your hands are like magic hands. I feel like the left half of my body is as light as a feather now, and I don't feel any pain at all!"

While moving his muscles and bones, he bulged his biceps to show Cheng Le Yi the results of his recovery:

"Did you see that, Le Yi! I just said that my physical condition is good, and with Brother Fang's medical skills, now even if I am asked to fight a dinosaur, there will be no problem!"

Fang Cheng walked to the sink, unscrewed Faucet, rinsed his hands carefully, and took out two paper towels to dry them.

"Okay, stop showing off and put your clothes on quickly."

Cheng Le Yi rolled his eyes at him in disgust.

Lin Xu Hao quickly put on a hospital gown and enthusiastically pulled out a chair, insisting that Fang Cheng sit down and rest:

"Brother Fang, thank you for your hard work today. Come on, come on, sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving."

"Le Yi just bought this tea for me. Please try it."

As he spoke, he took out a can of Longjing Tea from the drawer and opened the lid.

Then he walked quickly to the water dispenser, quickly made a cup of green tea, and brought it to Fang Cheng.

Seeing how polite he was, Fang Cheng did not refuse, thanked him, took Paper Cup and held it in his hand.

Lin Xu Hao sat back on the edge of the bed, feeling relaxed, with a bit of joy in his tone:

"To be honest, I have to thank my body for recovering quickly, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life.

"After another two days of observation and a full physical examination, I will apply to return to the team immediately after confirming that there is no problem."

Cheng Le Yi heard this and frowned slightly:

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's been a hundred days of strain, and you've only been here for more than half a month. Even if you return to the team, they won't immediately put you on the front line."

"How can that be done!"

Lin Xu Hao raised the volume, widened his eyes and said:

"Western Mountains's operation is about to begin, so go to Other Shore World! Special Search Team has been building the team for decades, and I can count operations of this scale on both hands."

"I heard that this time there will be a high-intensity Training Camp competition to select elites from the whole team. As long as I am selected, I will not only be able to see the real Otherworld with my own eyes, but I will definitely have a credit in my credit book when I come back. How could I, Lin Xu Hao, miss this opportunity?"

Fang Cheng heard this and paused slightly while holding Paper Cup's hand.

Western Mountains action? Other Shore World?

These two words instantly caught his attention, and he couldn't help but think of something that happened in Western Mountains Examination Site.

He blew the floating leaves on the surface of the tea, took a sip, and interjected seemingly casually:

"Other Shore World? It sounds like you are filming a science fiction movie. Hao Ge, do you even care about alien planets in your job?"

"Haha, Brother Fang, you don't understand this."

Lin Xu Hao is a typical straight person, and he was in a good mood at the moment. He opened his mouth and continued the conversation:

"There are many secrets in this world that ordinary people cannot access. That Other Shore World is another dimension that overlaps with our world. It is extremely Danger, full of monsters, but also has a terrifying amount of resources. There are even Natural Treasure that cannot be found in our world."

"This time I heard that a large crack was discovered deep in the Western Mountains. Space Passage is very stable and can accommodate large troops to enter, so..."

"Ahem!"

Two clear coughs suddenly sounded.

Cheng Le Yi stood aside, glanced at Lin Xu Hao sternly, and cut off his words.

Lin Xu Hao shuddered and suddenly realized that he had spilled the beans.

He awkwardly scratched his short hair and laughed dryly:

"That... that's probably the situation. In short, it's a rare mission opportunity."

Although Fang Cheng is nominally an internal employee, Sanatorium belongs to the logistics support system.

Special Search Team has strict confidentiality regulations. Task information must be isolated between different departments and different levels.

Operation Western Mountains is currently in a confidential stage, and it is by no means appropriate to disclose specific details to peripheral medical personnel.

Unless their department is also required to participate in the operation, the less they know about core secrets, the better.

Fang Cheng naturally understood the meaning of Cheng Le Yi's cough.

He did not continue to ask, but smiled empathetically:

"It sounds very risky, Hao Ge. You'd better take good care of yourself first. Since you are going to such a Danger place, the more strength you have, the more protection you will have."

"Yes, yes, Brother Fang is right."

Lin Xu Hao nodded repeatedly and took advantage of the situation to get off the slope.

The three of them chatted briefly for a few more innocuous gossips.

Lin Xu Hao was mostly speaking, and Fang Cheng occasionally chimed in.

Cheng Le Yi was listening quietly on the side, his eyes wandering over Fang Cheng from time to time.

After drinking a cup of tea, Fang Cheng stood up and threw the empty Paper Cup into the trash can.

"It's getting late. There are still many medical records to sort out in the department. I'll go back first."

He straightened his clothes and said goodbye to the two of them.

Lin Xu Hao and Cheng Le Yi stood up together to see each other off.

"Brother Fang Walk slowly. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will treat you to a big meal!"

Lin Xu Hao walked to the door, waved and said.

"Stay."

Fang Cheng nodded at the two of them, turned around and walked out of the ward.

Following the footsteps of leather shoes on the floor tiles, his tall back gradually drifted away until he turned into the stairwell and was completely invisible.

Cheng Le Yi stood at the door of the ward, with his arms folded across his chest, his gaze fixed on the corner where Fang Cheng disappeared, and he did not take it back for a long time.

Lin Xu Hao turned his head and looked at Cheng Le Yi's entranced look, so he stretched out his finger and waved it twice in front of her eyes.

"Everyone has disappeared, are you still watching? Why, the dignified Operations Department Overlord Flower has fallen in love with our young and handsome Dr. Fang?"

He grinned and joked:

"If you're really interested, can I help you connect someday?"

Cheng Le Yi came back to his senses, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks for no reason.

Then Annoyed glared at Lin Xu Hao and kicked him in the calf:

"What nonsense are you talking about! A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory."

Lin Xu Hao has rough skin and thick flesh. He didn't feel any pain when he was kicked. He just laughed.

Cheng Le Yi suppressed the embarrassment on his face and frowned again.

She turned her head to look at the empty corridor and her voice deepened:

"I'm not kidding you. Ah Hao, do you think... this Dr. Fang has a very familiar smell?"

"Familiar? Of course familiar."

Lin Xu Hao walked to the bedside table nonchalantly, grabbed a Apple and took a bite:

"Didn't I just say that when we were performing surveillance missions at Old Factory Street at the beginning of the year, he was one of our observation targets. You have seen him several times in Telescope. Don't you think he looks familiar?"

"It's not that familiar."

Cheng Le Yi shook his head, his mind constantly replaying the back view of Fang Cheng Tui Na just now, as well as his calm posture when he turned around to speak.

That feeling is difficult to describe accurately in words.

Not only are they similar in body shape, but they are also powerful Aura Field hidden beneath their peaceful appearance.

It's like there are unfathomable undercurrents surging beneath the surface of the calm sea.

Fang Cheng The answer just given in the ward was spotless.

But the more this happened, the inexplicable intuition in her heart became stronger.

"What kind of familiarity is that?"

Lin Xu Hao swallowed the Apple in his mouth and muttered with confusion on his face.

Cheng Le Yi bit his lower lip and did not answer immediately.

As a woman, she is attentive and has a keen intuition that has been wandering on the edge of life and death all year round, which gave her an extremely contradictory perception of this young Dr. Fang.

Obviously all logic and background investigations prove that the other party is just an ordinary person with outstanding medical skills.

But she just felt that there seemed to be a beast hidden under that white coat that could tear its prey to pieces at any time.

"Forget it, maybe I haven't had a good rest recently and my nerves are too sensitive."

Cheng Le Yi sighed and suppressed the unrealistic speculations in his mind.

She turned to look at Lin Xu Hao, her expression returned to the seriousness she had at work:

"Let's not talk about him anymore. You almost violated confidentiality rules just now and shook Operation Plan out of the team."

"Be stricter with your words from now on. Fortunately, I was present this time. If someone hears and reports you, do you still want to wear this uniform?"

Hearing this, Lin Xu Hao shrank his neck and threw the Apple core in his hand into the trash can with some guilt.

"Didn't I just think that Brother Fang is a good person, with high medical skills and a quick talk. Besides, he is also an insider of our Special Search Team, so he is not a pure outsider..."

Halfway through, looking at Cheng Le Yi's increasingly sharp eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he simply raised his left hand to make an oath.

"Okay, okay, I promise to keep my mouth shut next time and not even a single word will come out. That's alright."

Seeing his appearance, Cheng Le Yi did not continue to delve deeper, and his tone softened slightly:

"As for the selection, since your body has almost recovered, you can start restorative training in the next two days."

"I will submit your name together. Whether you can get a place at Other Shore World depends on your ability."

"Don't worry, watch my performance!"

Lin Xu Hao sat up straight and patted his chest hard with his left hand, which had almost recovered.

When he mentioned the upcoming selection action, he swept away his previous embarrassment, and a strong fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

In the evening, the Guanlan District sky was dyed orange-red by the setting sun.

The sea surface glowed with fine Golden Light under the afterglow of the setting sun, and the waves lapped the coastline gently.

In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, warm red light slants on the floor, making the empty Apartment even more quiet and deserted.

There was no one in the room, and all the furniture was covered with a thin layer of dust.

In the center of Living Room, a black heavy-duty Sandbag hangs, casting a long hill-shaped Shadows in the afterglow.

Click.

The door lock suddenly turned.

A tall figure stepped in from the door, carrying two bulging plastic shopping bags.

"Oh, no one has stayed there for more than two weeks, so the smell is a bit strong."

Fang Cheng breathed out and closed the door.

There is a stuffy smell in the air that has not been inhabited for a long time.

However, the furnishings in the house have not changed in any way from before he went to Yong'an Island for vacation.

Fang Cheng bent down at the door and put on his slippers, then carried the bag through the entrance and went straight to the kitchen.

There is a double-door horizontal large-capacity Freezer parked on the side of the kitchen against the wall.

Fang Cheng raised his hand to open the cabinet door, and a strong air of cold air suddenly poured out from inside, and a white mist instantly filled the air.

After a cursory glance, Freezer still has nearly half of its inventory.

The middle shelf is neatly placed with frozen Beef pieces, seasoned chicken breasts, and several boxes of well-packaged seafood pies, instant dumplings, etc.

Fortunately, they are all frozen and will not deteriorate at all if stored for half a month.

Fang Cheng placed the shopping bag in his hand on the cooking table and began to sort out the ingredients he bought along the way today.

He first took out the fresh milk, eggs, and a few packs of fresh green peppers and garlic sprouts he just bought.

Then neatly stack the cut lean pork, lamb chops and other meats on the middle shelf.

Finally, put a dozen packages of easy-to-storage freeze-dried cheese cubes, braised chicken legs, and egg yolk buns in a metal hanging basket.

Seeing that Freezer, which was half empty, was filled to the brim again, Fang Cheng glanced over and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

As long as his physical attributes did not exceed the limit Major Milestone, causing him to go crazy and binge eat, these reserves would be enough for him to consume safely at home for several days.

At the end of the tidying up, Fang Cheng's eyes fell on the storage area at the bottom of Freezer.

There was a piece of meat wrapped tightly in multiple layers of plastic wrap.

The meat shows a deep dark red color and has a dense texture.

Even through the frost, you can vaguely smell the alluring smell of blood.

That was the Mutated Crawling Beast meat he brought back from the Wasteland world.

The Life Energy contained in this kind of meat is not trivial. For ordinary people, it is too nutritious and is tantamount to tiger and wolf poison.

Fang Cheng I only cut off a small piece every time I eat it, and now I still have about eight or nine kilograms left.

"I'm going to make fried Crawling Beast meat with green pepper and garlic sprouts tonight."

Fang Cheng whispered to himself, reached out and took out the piece of meat, then placed it in the kitchen sink to soak and defrost it.

After putting the meat away, he didn't rush to cook. Instead, he took the basin to the bathroom, filled most of the basin of water, and found a clean rag.

Then soak the rag, wring it out, and start wiping along the Living Room, Coffee Table, TV cabinet and black heavy-duty Sandbag one by one.

Wherever the rag was passed, the dust was swept away.

After cleaning the furniture, he started cleaning the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and finally took a mop and carefully mopped the entire living room and bedroom floors.
