I didn't expect anyone to come so quickly.

Zhang Jianzhou responded, and the people outside came in.

For the next period of time, Zhang Jianzhou and I actually treated patients in this simple clinic. People came in an endless stream, and many of them would bribe us to make us pay more attention to their health in order to feel more at ease.

In truth, I treat everyone who comes to see me the same.

Whether you've been bitten by a zombie or have just caught a minor cold, it's the same.

So, I thought Zhang Jianzhou would go to find Ye Qian after he returned here, but the things in the infirmary were so busy that it was a headache. He didn't have any time to go out at all. Apart from occasionally going to the toilet and having dinner, he basically didn't have time to rest.

Even around midnight, there were still people queuing outside, which made me very frustrated.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. There are so many people in the entire Raiders organization, and there are only Zhang Jianzhou and me as doctors. Besides, I was basically not qualified to practice medicine before, so I can only help Zhang Jianzhou here.

But this is good, at least I can keep an eye on him.

I was busy until past midnight, and I was so tired that I couldn't take it anymore.

When I was working in the hospital, I never saw so many patients in a single day.

When the clinic closed, there were still many people waiting outside, but we were too tired to go without rest. So the rest of us had to wait until tomorrow morning.

...

Ye Qian came by the next day, but he was too busy in the clinic and we barely spoke to him. It seemed that he came to check on our situation, and after seeing that we were alright, he didn't bother with us anymore.

There seem to be even more patients today than yesterday.

Today is the second day of the trade conference. Song Muyuan and his group brought Fang Yuan over. I didn't want to go over and greet them, since I had to keep an eye on Zhang Jianzhou.

But when the little girl came over and told me that Fang Yuan and the others were getting into a fight with someone at the bar, I had no choice but to go over there.

As for this side, I asked Fu Chen and Zhou Jie to come and keep an eye on things.

To avoid any trouble from Zhang Jianzhou's side.

When I arrived at Fang Yuan's place, I initially thought that Fang Yuan had found his enemy, but upon closer inspection, I discovered that this was not the case at all. It was because of Zhou Qingya that the disturbance in the bar had occurred.

My arrival put Song Muyuan and the others at ease. After asking about the situation, I learned that Zhou Qingya had been recognized by people in the bar, and then someone took a liking to her and wanted to cause trouble, or even wanted to buy Zhou Qingya back.

When I heard about this, I wanted to laugh. Buying people? Are you kidding me?

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Zhou Qingya used to be a big star, and a top-tier one at that. Almost everyone knew her. If such a beautiful star suddenly appeared in a bar in the central town, it's hard to guarantee that no one would have designs on her.

In the past, when society was stable, no one would do such a thing.

But in this world, might makes right.

Since the other party wants to force me, I don't mind to go toe-to-toe with him.

I stood in front of Song Muyuan and his group, looking at a man in his thirties sitting on a stool with his legs crossed. Before I could say anything, he stared at me and sneered, "Kid, don't tell me you're their leader?"

I stared at him expressionlessly and said, "So, you're the one who wanted to buy Zhou Qingya just now?"

"Yes, that's it, ten barrels of gasoline, is that enough!"

I sneered. Right now in Central Town, food and gasoline are like currency. The more of these things you have, the more you can exchange for in Central Town, including women.

I shook my head and said, "Not enough."

The other person said, "Kid, it's just a woman. Ten barrels of gasoline should be enough. Anyway, you've probably had enough. Ten barrels of gasoline for a woman is a good deal."

I chuckled and said, "Since you put it that way, how about I buy you with ten barrels of gasoline?"

The other person's lips twitched, and he stood up abruptly. The people around him also took a step forward.

The person working at the bar today wasn't Zhang Lincai, but someone else I didn't recognize.

Zhou Qingya stood behind me and said, "Xiaonan, there are too many of them. Don't fight them head-on, or we'll suffer."

I nodded slightly.

The other person pointed at me and said, "Kid, I'm giving you face by paying you with gasoline. If you try to force me later, we can just break off all relations. Then it won't just be Zhou Qingya; I'll even snatch that little girl behind you. I'll show you how I can mess with them!"

The little girl huddled closer to me, frightened.

The little girl is also very curious about this place, so she came here to play today. I don't want her to suffer any injustice.

I squinted and said, "Believe it or not, if you really dare to do this, you won't be able to leave the central town today."

The other person came up to me and said, "You want me to stay in Central Town? Kid, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

I frowned and said, "Whether my breath is bad or not is none of your business, but you know you have bad breath?"

This guy was too close to me, and when he spoke, I immediately smelled a foul odor from his mouth. It really stank, and I couldn't help but take two steps back.

The little girl and Zhou Qingya couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The other person's mouth twitched, and he reached out to grab my collar. The instant he made his move, a scalpel appeared in my hand and was pressed against his neck.

Immediately, tensions rose between us.

I said, "If you dare to touch me, I'll slit your throat. Once your carotid artery breaks, even a god can't save you."

The other party roared, "If you dare kill me, you'll never leave Central Town!"

I chuckled. "Really? Shall we give it a try? You'll be dead by then anyway, and you won't even know if I've made it out of Central Town. Besides, don't you find it strange that I have a knife? Why didn't the people in Central Town take it from me when I came in?"

The other person's expression immediately changed.

I smiled slightly and said, "A brain is a good thing; I hope you have one."

My words are quite clear: those who can carry weapons and wield knives in Central Town are all people from Central Town.

Although I'm not from the central town, I can use this rule to scare the other person.

Whether the other party believes it or not is their own business.

The other person took two steps back, their expression strange, looking at my scalpel with obvious suspicion.

I knew what he suspected, and I felt a little helpless. Why couldn't I scare him?

Just as we were in a standoff, a person suddenly appeared at the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, you guys, that's enough! What do you think this place is, where you can just start arguing whenever you want? If you want to argue, get out of here!"
