Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
When Ming Chu returned, she found the school doctor wearing an expression of intense forbearance.
She raised a hand and knocked gently on the door, "Teacher, may I come in now?"
"...Come in." The school doctor looked at Ming Chu with a complicated gaze.
If not for Ming Chu's remark, they would still have been kept completely in the dark, never having even considered that possibility.
Mainly, their survival environment was far too harsh. Many of them had been captured and labeled as 'madmen,' and only the alien police and themselves knew that 'madmen' actually came in two types. One type was 'madmen' like them—those who realized they were locked up and wanted to break out and resist.
The other type consisted of the invaders.
Strictly speaking, the invaders had it better than them; at least the invaders possessed self-defense capabilities, and the invaders would not stay in this world for very long.
Ming Chu watched the school doctor's expression shift back and forth, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Did something special happen?"
She grasped her own wrist, hinting and asking whether something was wrong with Wang Rui's end.
However, the school doctor's mind was currently full of owls and he completely missed her hint. He looked at Ming Chu earnestly and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I hadn't thought in that direction before."
"Huh?" Ming Chu was dumbfounded.
She cast a suspicious glance around before lowering her voice to ask, "Is Wang Rui really having issues? What kind of issues? Can I use this to identify others next time?"
The school doctor: "Huh? Weren't you asking about the owl?"
Ming Chu: "Ha?"
The two stared at each other in blank dismay. Finally, the school doctor covered his face, turned his head to the side, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "I was just thinking about the owl you mentioned earlier. As for Wang Rui, I just took the opportunity to check her pulse earlier. Her pulse was just as steady as before, and even when a 'madman' was captured, her heartbeat didn't speed up at all."
At this, the school doctor froze.
He looked at Ming Chu, his eyes gradually brightening, and he said to her in an admiring tone, "You really are my lucky star."
Ming Chu: "?"
