Chapter 71 Physical Examination
Chapter 71 Physical Examination
The students from both classes lined up and entered the playground. They saw that various instruments had been set up, and a team that looked like guards stood on both sides of the instruments. Some sharp-eyed students noticed that there were familiar faces among the guards.
"Look, isn't that Instructor Huo?"
"Hey, it looks like him. Why is the instructor here too?"
"I also saw the instructors from Class 8 there."
"Do the instructors also need to have physical examinations?"
"I don't know..."
A group of students discussed the matter animatedly, but ultimately couldn't reach any conclusion.
Zhang Yijing pointed out the location to them: "There are four tests. The first is a blood test, the second is an ENT examination, the third is an internal medicine examination, and the fourth is a brain X-ray. Everyone go in a row, take the test forms, do the tests yourself, and when you're done, hand in the test forms to the collection station at the end, and then you can go eat."
Chu Deng held the examination form sent by Zhang Yijing in her hand. She first glanced at the items on the form, and when she saw a row of numerical values waiting to be filled in for the internal medicine examination, she narrowed her eyes.
She sensed something was wrong when she heard about the brain X-ray examination. A normal physical examination usually only includes the first three items, and the last one is very rare. Only people with head injuries get brain X-rays done in hospitals. Why would a school physical examination require it?
Only one type of person needs it—
A person with superpowers.
If a crystal nucleus suddenly grows in your head, something is bound to happen in your brain!
Although Chu Deng wasn't a specialist in this field, he had heard of some unscrupulous research institutes in his previous life that used people with superpowers for experiments, including examining their brains and extracting their crystal cores.
Certain values in the brains of individuals with superpowers may change during the incubation period, so this brain examination might potentially detect something in advance.
Chu Deng wasn't too worried. Since she wasn't found to be a level three ability user when she was ten, and she's almost at level five now, she naturally has ways to avoid detection.
In the early days of the apocalypse, someone developed a way to bypass the machines that checked people with superpowers. Their superpowers could completely interfere with the machines, allowing them to disguise themselves as ordinary people.
It's useful, but once you've confirmed the identity of a superhuman through a fight before capturing them, pretending to be an ordinary person is completely useless!
So this method became popular for a while but then became obsolete, and many people just treated it as a joke.
Chu Deng happened to learn it; at the time, she just thought it wouldn't hurt to have more skills.
What was useless in the apocalypse has become her method of concealing her identity in today's world.
However, it's only useful for now. It won't work after she pretends to awaken again. The downside of this method is that it can't be used to disguise herself as a low-level being.
However, in the later stages, Chu Deng could consume his own supernatural power, retaining only low-level energy to barely fool these underdeveloped machines.
But that Immortal Spirit Sect has already developed a potion that temporarily enhances superpowers, and I guess a machine that can accurately detect superpower levels will be developed soon, right?
Chu Deng still has great confidence in the technology of this world.
"Dengdeng, shall we go get our blood drawn first?" Jin Xiaoyue was actually most afraid of blood draws. When she was a child, she was relatively weak and often had to get injections and take medicine. Later, Jin Dahai developed a medical pod and had her soak in it every day. In addition, she took special medicine, and her health gradually improved with the accumulation of a large amount of money. However, she still had to soak in the medical pod occasionally.
I guess many people want to leave the blood test for last, since that's when the fewest people will have their blood drawn.
Jin Xiaoyue wanted to finish the project with fewer people first, so they wouldn't have to squeeze in with others and could go eat early. The special windows in the cafeteria were extremely popular, and if they went late, they wouldn't be able to get any food.
Chu Deng had no objections, nodded, and went with Jin Xiaoyue to have their blood drawn.
Jin Xiaoyue was in line, and the person in front of her who was having his blood drawn was Meng Qiuhe. Pei Hanxing was holding the test form and waiting for his friend, who had already finished having his blood drawn.
"Relax, don't be afraid, it'll be over in the blink of an eye," the nurse said softly, patting Meng Qiuhe's arm, which was bulging with veins.
Meng Qiuhe turned her head away and closed her eyes tightly, her heart trembling with fear: "Ugh..."
Jin Xiaoyue couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Pei Hanxing's cute expression, while Chu Deng glanced at Pei Hanxing's form and noticed the internal medicine values, pondering to herself.
It seems a bit high...
Chu Deng activated his senses, then withdrew them a second later, a smile appearing on his lips.
It turns out this person is also a superhuman, level two.
Shanghai No.1 High School is truly a place where hidden talents abound...
"Ok?"
Just as Chu Deng was lost in thought, Meng Qiuhe's trembling voice rang out as he was having his blood drawn.
"Haha!" Jin Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh. Meng Qiuhe's expressions were so funny that she forgot she was scared.
"Alright, that's all, next one." The nurse put on a band-aid, her expression instantly changing, and told Meng Qiuhe to quickly give way.
Meng Qiuhe sniffed and went to meet up with Pei Hanxing.
Jin Xiaoyue sat down on the stool, stretched out her hand, turned her head, and closed her eyes in one smooth motion, displaying a fearless attitude, which amused Chu Deng.
Seeing that Jin Xiaoyue was on the right track, the nurse didn't delay and drew blood quickly. At the end, she smiled at Jin Xiaoyue and said, "Not bad, stronger than that young man before."
"Haha, that's right!" Jin Xiaoyue said with a smile, pressing the band-aid on her arm and making way for Chu Deng.
Chu Deng handed the examination form to the person next to the nurse who was responsible for stamping and signing it. She sat down to wait for her blood to be drawn when she heard the person signing ask, "Are you Chu Deng?"
Chu Deng looked over: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The man shook his head and took out two empty tubes from the box. "You're in good physical condition. Your instructor specifically mentioned before that you need to have two tubes drawn for a more accurate examination."
"Hmm." Chu Deng withdrew her gaze, accepting the man's explanation.
"Hey, your veins are really clear, they're easy to puncture." Seemingly to break the awkward atmosphere, the nurse took the initiative to change the subject.
"Thank you?" Chu Deng took it as a compliment.
Soon, after the two tubes of blood were drawn, Chu Deng stood up. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the person who signed the form had put a special sticker on the test tube containing her blood as a mark. She knew that it was because her condition during the training camp had been noticed.
However, there was nothing wrong with her blood, so Chu Deng wasn't worried and went to work on other projects with Jin Xiaoyue.
"Director, is that the girl we were instructed to keep a close eye on?" the nurse asked curiously, seeing that no students had come.
"Her name is Chu Deng. She's someone the Jin family values. The person with her is Jin Dahai's biological daughter, Jin Xiaoyue," the director replied casually while arranging the test tubes.
The nurse nodded. The Jin family was very prestigious in the medical field. With just the label of "patriotism," both officials and businessmen had to give them face. Moreover, the Jin family's medical pods were exceptionally effective. She had heard that the hospital director had begged and pleaded with people to pull strings to buy more medical pods for their Shanghai First People's Hospital.
The director ran his fingers over several specially marked test tubes. What he didn't say was that not only were the higher-ups paying attention to this blood, but people outside were also asking him about it. However, he had lived a clean life and there was no need for him to ruin his reputation for such a small amount of profit.
Things are definitely not peaceful anymore...
