Dingxiang woke up with a fever and headache. His wound is throbbing. Although he liked to go back to sleep, he couldn't. He still needs to work.
He takes a bath and gets ready. Before he left, he cleaned his wound and wrapped it in gauze. It is still swollen.
"You're here," said Weiqi. In a time like this, he would have talked back, but he did not. He's not in a mood.
"By the way, you have to pack your things now. The president orders you to work under the manufacturing team. I talked to him, but he refused." he shrugged.
"What?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him again. Just pack your things, in case."
Dingxiang gritted his teeth. Weiqi might look concerned, but he knows he was the one who plotted this. From becoming the leader of their current project, and now... he was really determined to get him out of his schemes.
The day of his transfer did come. Weiqi looked at him with distress. But hell, he knows damn well it was only an act. He walked briskly, ready to get past him.
"Good luck!" he heard him say. Although it was said in a simple tone, he could sense the slightest touch of mockery in it. But still, he did nothing other than remain silent.
"Abadon!" he called the dog he found the other day. He named the dog Abadon because it was abandoned. Although it scratched him, yes, he cannot let it alone on a sidewalk! especially that it was injured.
The dog did not respond. In big steps, he found the dog lying on the ground, lifeless. It saddened him. It's been two days since he found the dog and brought it home. In that spare time, he knows that it will not last long because of its deep wounds and cuts. But it is unexpected! He did not know it would be too soon.
"You have to come back after three days for another vaccine shot."
He went to a nearby clinic the other day. According to the doctor who inspected him, he had rabies. Even though it was just a scratch, whether small or large, there is still a possibility that you will get infected. Hence, the doctor advises seeking post-exposure treatment immediately before the medication gets delayed.
He sighed. He got up after he finished his work. He went to a nearby dispenser to drink and clear his dry throat. These past few days, his feelings have gotten worse. And as a consequence, he always got up late!
He drank his prescribed medication. Although the pain subsided, it still could not make him feel any better. He went back to his table. Yet, no matter how he tried to walk normally, his vision doubled and his feet wobbled. The only thing he remembered was how the people shouted in shock as he passed out. He doesn't know if it's only a hallucination, but people were trying to hurt him, causing him to fight back and defend himself. Then everything went black.
The sound of the apparatus woke him up. Yao Dingxiang hadn't recovered yet when he noticed that his hands were handcuffed to the bed. He looked at himself and saw that he wore a hospital gown. Confused, doctors came and checked him.
He wanted to stop them, but he doesn't have the strength.
After the doctors left, he was alone in this tight room and thin bed. The light makes him feel drowsy and sensitive. It looked like the light wanted to consume him. It's getting bigger and bigger, and he must stop it before he goes crazy. He didn't notice that his movements were becoming aggressive. Because of his desire to lose the light, his hand was injured due to the tied handcuff.
The doctors quickly attended to him. A lot of voices echoed, and his body started to feel a tingling sensation as if it were slowly killing him. The pain is becoming intolerable at the same time, and the bright light is like a fire that slowly swallows him. He doesn't know what he was feeling anymore. His wound is throbbing like there is something coming out there.
His heart beat faster. No matter what he does to breathe, it seems like something is blocking it. He shouted loudly while pushing those who came close to him. He was catching his breath; his eyes were like they were bursting, and saliva was dripping. He couldn't see how he looked now, but it was miserable.
He screams loudly, and everything turns vague.
"Sir..."
Yao Dingxiang doesn't know that someone watching him. It's a man in a coat.
"Everything's ready, sir. Yao Dingxiang get's infected." he said. He heard the other line sighed and chuckled.
"Good. Very good."
