C Country, ZN Laboratory.
Lu Xining asked her female assistant, "How long has he been like this?"
"Ever since he came back from Port City."
The female assistant said helplessly: "He doesn't eat or drink, doesn't open the curtains during the day, and doesn't turn on the lights at night. He just stays in the room by himself."
Everyone else had come to check on him, but he just wouldn't open the door. With no other choice, the female assistant had to call Lu Xining.
Now the two of them had arrived outside his room.
At the door, the dishes brought over in the morning remained untouched on the small cabinet.
Lu Xining knocked on the door: "Jingzheng, open the door."
No movement came from inside the room.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the lab wore life-monitoring watches and the backend data showed Jingzheng was still alive,
They would have suspected that he was just withering away alone inside his room.
