Chapter 423 The calm before the storm

Since the anomaly occurred at the Civilization Trial Grounds, Li Dawei's mother has started having insomnia again.

That night, she couldn't sleep, so she got up and went to the toilet in the dark.

On her way from the room to the living room, she tripped over something warm and was so frightened that she nearly lost her mind.

"Ah!"

His wife's piercing screams woke Li Dawei's father.

He sprang up like a carp, barefoot, and ran to the living room: "What's wrong?"

The ceiling light in the living room was turned on, making the room as bright as day. A body was lying in the living room.

It was he who tripped his wife.

"It's...it's Awei?!" Li Dawei's father mustered his courage and went to turn the body over.

Suddenly, Li Dawei's face came into his view.

Upon hearing that it was her own son, Li Dawei's mother was no longer afraid of anything. She scrambled to her feet, grabbed her son's head, and cried uncontrollably.

"Son, you're finally back! Your mom and dad were so worried about you."

Li Dawei lay on the ground as if asleep, his face rosy, his chest rising and falling, and he did not wake up no matter how his mother called him.

After venting her fears, Li Dawei's mother finally realized that something was wrong with her son.

She shook her son's body vigorously, but there was no response.

"Call 120," Li Dawei's father decided immediately, dialing the emergency number.

After conducting a full-body examination, the doctors were still unable to determine the cause of Li Dawei's coma.

"Mild fatty liver, small nodules in the lungs, slightly high blood lipids, and some calcium deficiency. I have quite a few minor health problems, but none of them are related to my inability to wake up."

The chief physician of the hospital's emergency department was a middle-aged man who showed signs of balding.

At this moment, he looked completely bewildered: "Your son isn't faking it, is he?"

Li Dawei's mother was furious: "Why would my son pretend? He finally got back from the Civilization Trial Grounds. What good would it do him to fake fainting and scare us?"

"Huh? They're back from the Civilization Trial Grounds?!" The chief physician immediately straightened his back and made a phone call to a group of old men.

The multidisciplinary consultation still failed to find any problems.

Fortunately, the Eastern Kingdom has established an Emergency Management Department for the Civilization Trial Grounds, which is specifically responsible for handling various related issues for the contestants.

The hospital immediately reported the incident to the Ministry of Emergency Management. After receiving a reply from the other party, the chief physician comforted Li Dawei's parents: "Don't worry too much, this is not an isolated case. The Ministry of Emergency Management said that the remaining 240,632 contestants have all returned, and their situation is the same as Li Dawei's."

To lend credibility to his words, he added, "Principal Lin is back too."

Despite their anxiety, Li Dawei's parents tried their best to control their emotions after hearing the doctor's words. They believed the country would do everything in its power to awaken Principal Lin, and their son might benefit from it.

At this moment, the Emergency Management Center of the Eastern Capital has entered the highest level of alert.

At the Capital First Hospital, all the specialists in every department were waiting for one person's medical examination results.

Thanks to various green channels and expedited processing, the medical examination report was available in just three hours.

"His heart is fine, very strong and powerful."

"My liver and stomach are fine."

"The brain MRI and CT scan show that Principal Lin's brain development is 20% higher than that of ordinary people, but the structure is very clean, ruling out tumors and diseases as causes of coma."

"Bone density is normal, and there are no cervical or spinal diseases."

"Blood tests are normal; there is no deficiency in any vitamins."

After going through the tests one by one, Principal Lin was found to be perfectly healthy, without any of the minor ailments commonly found in modern people.

The president of the Capital Hospital looked grave. Every doctor knows that what's truly frightening is not a patient having a serious illness, but rather not being able to diagnose what illness the patient has.

No matter how serious the illness, as long as you know what the illness is, you can find a way to use targeted medication.

If you don't even know what disease you have, how can you treat it?

"Let's wait for the genetic testing results."

Principal Lin has never undergone full genome mapping testing, so it will take longer.

An hour later, the map was completed.

The experts present, upon seeing the diagram, immediately exclaimed that it was impossible.

The complete genome map shows that in addition to known human, marine, and rock-based genes, Lin Xiaohe's genome also contains six or seven unknown gene sequences.

Human gene sequences make up a very small percentage of these series.

Based on normal reasoning, it is impossible for Principal Lin to present himself in a normal human form.

This genetic mapping test results contradict Principal Lin's medical examination report.

Seeing that the Capital Hospital was helpless in treating Principal Lin's condition, the Dongguo Emergency Team recruited top medical experts from all over the country.

Currently, the external situation in Dongguo is not very good.

The Star Alliance's new player protection period expires upon leaving the Civilization Trial Grounds.

The remaining alien forces on Earth are stirring.

The damage to the satellite in low Earth orbit is a huge blow to the East, equivalent to losing decades of hard work in one fell swoop.

Unable to see any specific actions from the extraterrestrial civilization, the Eastern Kingdom had no choice but to leverage its manpower advantage and strengthen border patrols.

Professor Liu and his wife stayed by Lin Xiaohe's side the whole time.

Lu Shimeng was like a vigilant leopard, her muscles tense, constantly watching her surroundings, fearing that someone might harm the principal.

"Xiao Lu, do you want to go and rest for a bit?" Professor Liu's hair was completely white. Looking at Lu Shimeng, who hadn't slept for two days straight, he thought that the young woman should go and rest first, while he, this old man, would stay and watch over things.

Lu Shimeng shook her head firmly and helped Professor Liu lie down on the cot: "I don't need to rest. The students entrusted me with the task of protecting the principal, and I can't let them down."

Professor Liu swallowed his words of advice, lay down on the cot, and stared blankly at the white ceiling.

His wife held his hand, the warmth of her palm conveying her silent support.

"If science can't solve it, why not try metaphysics?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Liu and Lu Shimeng both turned to look at her, their eyes gleaming with hope.

That makes sense!

Lu Shimeng immediately contacted her father: "My dad has the contact information of masters, both Buddhist and Taoist."

Lu Shimeng knew the importance of the principal, so she only consulted the master over the phone.

The master was originally practicing asceticism in the deep mountains and forests, but the satellite was destroyed, and he lost contact with the outside world, so he had to come down the mountain.

As soon as he came down the mountain, he received a call from Lu Shimeng, who told him about the contestants. Reflecting on his own feelings over the past few days, he sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lu Shimeng smiled wryly: "It's okay, I was just asking casually."

"Hmm. Let's wait and see. The training ground is shrouded in white mist, so we can't see what's inside. Maybe Principal Lin and the others' consciousnesses are still inside the training ground?"

"hope so."

Before Principal Lin had even regained consciousness, Blue Star welcomed the Star Alliance exploration team.
