Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 394 Remote Communication
The lights flashed again, as if questioning: Why are you spouting so much nonsense?

The flash was too fast and too sudden; a burst of sparks suddenly erupted in the corridor, and one of the lights went out completely.

Ouyang...

Mysterious person...

Is this thing really that bad quality?
The lights continued to flash, but the frequency dropped significantly, and the other person was clearly much gentler: "I don't know them."

Ok!

Ou Yang was discouraged. Since he couldn't figure out the other party's identity, he could only increase the intensity and use some extreme measures: How much is the hammer?
The mysterious man's brow twitched: Eighty!

Small hammer?

forty.

Palace Jade Wine?
180... Don't bother trying, I'm one of them!

Ou Yangcai didn't believe it, so he wrote another line: Do you know Zhou Jimin?
The other party's reply was concise and to the point: The people's people!
Okay, you've passed the test!

Ouyang compromised, finally believing that the other side was one of his own: Where do you want me to go?
Mysterious man: Just follow.

Ouyang: Which direction?
Mysterious man... turn right after you leave!
Ou Yang: The elevator leads the way, but I get nervous following behind!

The mysterious man was completely baffled. "You're really getting hooked on following this, aren't you?"

Suddenly, the sound of gears meshing came from outside the door. Then the elevator stopped outside and the lights flashed: Go!

Ou Yang's eyes twitched. "You've made me so angry I'm confused!"

Stepping into the elevator car, it began to move, stopping after passing three intersections.

The elevator doors opened, and an unfamiliar research area came into view.

The lights flash: Go in, walk inside.

Ou Yang readily agreed and, upon entering the research area, discovered that it seemed to be a place for visceral research, with many viscera covered in mycelium displayed in each laboratory.

He couldn't help but stop to look, but the lights urged him on: Keep going!

Ou Yang rolled his eyes and walked a little further. Suddenly, a telephone rang urgently from a laboratory located to the side.

He froze, rushed over, but didn't rush in rashly. Instead, he first checked for any danger inside before opening the door and grabbing the receiver.

A resentful voice came from the other end: "Why do you have so many questions?"

Ouyang retorted irritably, "Who knows who you are?"

"Who am I? I should be asking you that!" the mysterious man said in an unfriendly tone. "I saw it all on the security camera. You just insulted me, didn't you?"

Ou Yang's temper flared instantly: "I cursed, so what? Do you know I almost died at your hands?"

The other party's momentum instantly weakened by more than half: "Ahem, well, wasn't that an accident?"

"You make it sound so easy!" Ouyang retorted, pressing his advantage. "So your life isn't yours to live!"

"Alright, alright, I already said it was an accident!"

The two were like fighting cocks, neither willing to back down, and it took them a long time to calm down.

Ou Yang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down: "Who are you?"

"Wanlin, Wan as in ten thousand, Lin as in forest, what about you?"

"You don't recognize me?" Ouyang asked, quite surprised.

"Are you very famous?" Wan Lin was also surprised.

“Ouyang, my name is Ouyang…”

Wan Lin's voice suddenly rose: "You're Ou Yang?"

"Yes, that's me!" Ou Yang couldn't help but frown. "Wait, something's not right with your tone. You know me?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him," Wan Lin said. "It's just a bit of a surprise."

"What's the surprise?" "The surprise is that you're still alright!" Wan Lin gave an unexpected answer.

Ou Yang immediately objected: "No, what do you mean? Are you looking for a fight?"

"Hey, hey, I didn't mean anything by it, just the literal meaning," Wan Lin explained as if reciting a tongue twister. "I'm just a little curious, how exactly did you... um, come back to life?"

"Back to life?" Ouyang was stunned. "Have I ever died?"

Why do I suddenly feel a little panicked when I think about how long I've been unconscious?

Wan Lin's tone softened: "It's not that you died, but I heard that your condition was not good. After you woke up, you were extremely agitated, hitting and smashing things. In the end, we had no choice but to use a tranquilizer gun to knock you down. We determined that your condition was indeed very serious, and then we transferred you to Ward 7."

Ou Yang was completely taken aback: "You mean me?"

“Yes, it’s you.” Wan Lin said with great certainty, “Many people say that your infection is very serious and that you definitely can’t be saved.”

Ou Yang's eyebrows furrowed: "Are you deliberately trying to ruin me? I have absolutely no recollection of this."

"I don't know... No, how can you prove you are Ouyang?" Wan Lin suddenly realized his oversight and asked sharply.

Ou Yang laughed angrily: "Prove that I am right, huh? Can you be serious for once?"

"I wasn't joking with you, every word I said was very serious!" Wan Lin wished he could teleport in front of Ou Yang and swear an oath to him in person.

Ouyang hesitated for a moment: "How long was I unconscious?"

"About ten days, why?"

"So long?" Ou Yang appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he was even more panicked. "What happened these past few days? Where did everyone else go? How did the research institute end up like this?"

Wan Lin was extremely frustrated: "Can we not talk about this? Let's talk about something constructive first!"

Ouyang: "What are you trying to say?"

This question stumped Wan Lin: "It's like this, I discovered you by chance before, and then I tried to get in touch with you, planning to meet up with you, but now I'm a little worried..."

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried that you've already been infected and will infect me too," Wan Lin said.

Ou Yang almost laughed out of anger: "Don't worry, I'm not infected."

Wan Lin thought to himself, "How can I not feel at ease?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid of dying."

Ou Yang pouted: "If we don't want to meet, then we don't want to meet. It's not like anyone cares... You can send me out, right?"

"This is a huge problem. I can't even get out myself, how am I supposed to get you out?"

Ou Yang was taken aback: "You're trapped here too?"

"Yes, I'm stuck here too."

Ou Yang got impatient: "No, you don't want to meet up in person, and you won't answer my questions. What exactly do you want?"

"I didn't expect anything, I just wanted to find a companion to face troubles together, and I never thought I would meet you."

"No, from what you're saying, you seem quite aggrieved, right?" Ou Yang retorted, "I'm the one who's aggrieved! I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by sick people. I barely managed to escape, and then you almost crushed me to death!"

Wan Lin's face darkened: "So this can't be left unresolved, is it?"

"Then tell me, what do you want to do now?" Ouyang kicked the ball back.

"Hey, never mind, never mind. You have equipment for testing spores, go find it, and also find a security camera, test it for me in person!"

Ou Yang was in a hurry to leave and didn't argue about the issue. After all, he came from the ward, and anyone in that situation would inevitably have doubts.

Not long after, he found the testing equipment and, as Wan Lin had requested, stood under the camera and took deep breaths.

Wan Lin, having confirmed Ou Yang's condition, immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Come on, let's get on the elevator!"
