Chapter 1,207 System Takes Action

The old man's face immediately showed a light of great surprise. He looked at the young man in front of him with wide eyes and said a few words.

"Yes, yes, young man, how could you know that I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now? The doctors have examined me many times, but they just can't find out what's wrong with me. Moreover, they can't cure my disease and leave it on me. All with tubes in them.”

"Actually, they don't know that my whole body is in excruciating pain and I want to have the tubes removed. As for how long I can live, I just let them go. I really don't want to spend such a boring time in the hospital."

Listening to what the old man said, Zhou Dong felt so bad. He must have been tired of his condition. He continued to undergo tests and treatments in the hospital, and it seemed that he no longer had any confidence in his condition.

But Zhou Dong saw that he was emotional, and now he could only choose to comfort him.

"Old man, I understand how you feel now. Treatment in the hospital is definitely not as free as life outside, and you are subject to a lot of reality. Besides, things like surgery can also cause pain in the body. Your old body and bones can't stand it. What a hassle.”

"But please believe me that the doctors are also thinking about the patient. They are also working hard to study your disease and try to get you out of the hospital as soon as possible. You still have to maintain an optimistic attitude."

The old man just frowned and sighed several times. The expression on his face was very helpless, as if he had become accustomed to such a situation and had no hope.

"Oh, don't try to persuade me, an old man. I know that with my current physical condition, the worst possible outcome is death. In fact, I have lived enough. There is nothing in this world that is worthy of my nostalgia, and I have already lived. It’s been so long, it’s time to go.”

When Zhou Dong heard what the old man said so sadly, he felt deep emotion in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and held his old hand.

The old man's hands were covered with veins and looked emaciated, and his face looked very haggard due to too many treatments.

But I don't know why, but the moment Zhou Dong's hand touched his, the old man suddenly felt a slight warm current flowing through his body, like a real trickle, spreading throughout his body, and he actually felt a little comfortable.

"Here, I feel like I have a strong feeling in my body. I feel a lot warmer. It's not as cold and stiff as before." The old man also had an expression of surprise on his face and looked at Zhou Dong with a grateful look. .

He thought it was Zhou Dong's concern for him that made him feel like this, so his eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Thank you so much, young man. You warmed my heart at the last moment and made me feel the care from strangers. I feel much better and my mood seems to be better. I am really lucky. How can one meet such a good person at such a moment."

The old man sighed repeatedly, unaware that Zhou Dong was actually using the power of the system.

Although Zhou Dong was listening to the old man on the surface, he was actually asking the system about the old man's condition in his mind.

"System, do you think this old man is seriously ill? Is there any way to cure it?"

The system seemed to be disdainful of Zhou Dong's question, and said to him angrily: "Don't talk too much, I am testing this old man, and there must be a way to suppress it, otherwise I will ask you to find him. What are you here for? Aren’t you asking nonsense?”

Being choked by the system, Zhou Dong suddenly felt that he had nothing to say anymore, so he could only shut his mouth obediently, but held the old man's hand tightly.

The old man thought that Zhou Dong wanted to give him the warmth before his death, and his eyes were almost wet with gratitude, and his whole body seemed to be trembling with emotion.

"Young man, you are such a good person. I wish I could have met you earlier." The old man was already lying on the hospital bed and began to sigh with emotion.

Xiaohu was sitting aside at this time, looking at Zhou Dong's weird behavior, and seemed to be a little surprised in his heart.

"Brother Dong, what's going on? Why are you suddenly so concerned about a seriously ill old man, and there are so many patients in the hospital. I've never seen him behave like this before. What happened?"

Xiaohu stared at Zhou Dong with a very puzzled look, knowing that he might be doing something of his own, so he didn't rush up to disturb him, and just waited quietly for his instructions.

The old man felt that his whole body was undergoing strong changes when he was held by Zhou Dong's hand, as if a growing warm current was flowing through his entire body.

It felt like a trickle of water suddenly flowing through every blood vessel in it, taking away the germs inside and making his whole body feel refreshed and relaxed.

There was another very strong change on the old man's face, and his brows frowned tightly, as if he still didn't understand what was happening now.

"It's strange. My body was already a little cold just now, and it has been stiff for a while. Why is it suddenly warmer today? It seems that the blood in my body is flowing faster, and there is a miraculous vitality." The old man said I was thinking secretly in my heart.

Although he still doesn't know what is happening now, the old man's spirit is getting better and better.

Zhou Dong kept his gaze on the old man's hand while quietly waiting for the system to reply to him.

After a long time, the system finally spoke: "It has been tested. This old man has something unclean on his body, which is called tax. Therefore, medicine can't detect it at all, and there is no way to treat his disease."

"Although there are so many tubes inserted in his body, it is only a temporary solution, and it is impossible to cure his disease, so this old man can only lie in bed."

Finally, Zhou Dong heard the system's answer, and his face showed a very pleasant expression, and he hurriedly asked back.

"In that case, treat this old man quickly!"

"You don't need me to tell you, I'm treating him now, do you see if his spirit is much better than before?"

After the system's one-click reminder, Zhou Dong also turned to look at the old man and found that his eyes were bigger than before, and his eyeballs were black and white, and seemed to be more energetic than before.

"Old man, do you feel a very obvious change in your body now? Do you feel more energetic?"
