Bai Yan is bound to a system and must unceasingly tread the path of courting death by opposing the protagonists, becoming a stepping stone in their lives, destined for a tragic end in every life.
Xu Shengtian heard the hospital director say that a skilled doctor had come to the hospital and that she could produce penicillin.
When they realized they would no longer need to spend exorbitant sums to buy penicillin, and that the other party could produce it in unlimited quantities, their first thought was that the old man was teasing them: "Dean Fang, did I put too much pressure on you by asking you to get the medicine? Don't put too much pressure on yourself..."
"General!" Dean Fang said, "You know my character. I would never joke about something like this without being absolutely certain."
"Dr. Bai is right here with me. She does have the technology to extract penicillin."
Xu Shengtian's expression immediately turned serious. He asked in a deep voice, "Can you really do it? How much will it cost?" He then quickly added, "I really don't have much left. We still need to buy guns. If we only have the medicine but no guns, won't we become sitting ducks?"
But he was also afraid that the person would leave without paying: "Dr. Fang, you tell them that I'll pay on credit for now, and I'll pay them whatever they want later!"
"My word is my bond; what I promise is absolutely true!"
Hearing his rough voice, Bai Yan couldn't help but ask, "Dean, could I say a few words to the Commander-in-Chief?"
"Of course." Dean Fang quickly handed the phone to Bai Yan, who had just answered when the signal suddenly dropped: "Hello, hello?"
Dean Fang understood and stepped forward, saying, "That's how it is at the front lines; the signal is sometimes good and sometimes bad."
Bai Yan was somewhat disappointed, but she knew that there was no point in waiting here.
There's fighting on the front lines, and she can't be of much help going there right now. It's better for her to focus on logistical support.
For example, to quickly produce anti-inflammatory drugs, or for example—guns.
Armaments are also expensive to produce. On the battlefield, even if someone is a genius, if their own weapons have a shorter range than the enemy's, they may be left standing there as a target to be shot at.
One is never too old to learn.
During the time she was held hostage by the system, she filled herself with knowledge. In addition to being proficient in medicine, she was also proficient in medical equipment.
"Dean, when will the logistics team go to the front lines?" Bai Yan asked.
Dean Fang asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Bai Yan said, "I want to purify a batch of penicillin as soon as possible and send it to the front line."
"I'll go and find out. If you can make it, I'll immediately go out of the city with the logistics team." The sooner the product is made and delivered, the sooner it can save many lives, so Dean Fang naturally gave his full support.
“I can start the extraction now,” Bai Yan said. “I’ll make a list of the equipment the lab needs in a bit, and you can also assign me a few assistants who have some basic knowledge.”
She doesn't have time to train a new person from scratch right now.
“Okay.” Dean Fang agreed to everything.
I arranged to meet the dean in the lab the next day, and after setting up her assistant and providing her with the necessary supplies, the two of us parted ways.
"Xiao Yan, I happen to have a car. Shall I take you home? Where do you live?" Dean Fang was worried that such a talented person might run away, so he needed to find out her exact address before he could feel at ease.
Bai Yan said, "My mother and I recently arrived in Fengyi. We are staying at a hotel next to the government building."
"A hotel?" Dean Fang frowned and thought for a while: "Xiao Yan, you are now considered one of our hospital's employees. The commander built a family compound behind our hospital. Do you think you should move there with your mother? It would be more convenient for you to go to the laboratory."
"The people living there are all hospital colleagues and a group of students who are temporarily helping out. They can help each other out. Besides, the Marshal's Mansion is now empty, so it's probably the safest place in the whole city."
Medical personnel are especially important during wartime. Many doctors were hired by Xu Shengtian at great expense, and the family compound was well-equipped.
It didn't matter to Bai Yan where he lived, as the family compound was convenient and safe, so she naturally agreed.
Yuan moved to the family compound soon after. She was confused and didn't understand the situation. Seeing that there were soldiers guarding the compound, she thought that General Xu had remembered the kindness of her late husband and sent troops to protect them.
The Yuan family members were quite pleased with the house that the dean had arranged for them.
It's not as bustling as a hotel, with all sorts of novelties, but the family compound is more lively.
“Yan’er, I think that patch of empty land by the door can be used to grow vegetables.” Yuan Shi whispered, “This is a good place. Once we settle down, Mom can grow vegetables, and we can save money on vegetables.”
He was also worried: "Fengyi is good everywhere, so why is it not peaceful?" The sound of artillery fire from the front line could be heard from a hundred or two miles away.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, Commander Xu will definitely win. You can stay here with peace of mind."
"By the way, I'm working under Dean Fang now, and I have to go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning."
Yuan was stunned: "Go to work? Go to the hospital?" Then she became a little nervous: "Will they send you to the front lines?"
"No, I'm in charge of some medicines in the hospital's laboratory," Bai Yan said.
Madam Yuan didn't know anything about medicine, so she assumed that the warlord had taken pity on the orphans and widows and arranged a job for his daughter: "The hospital is great, so respectable. The warlord is such a good person."
...
The next day, Bai Yan was about to go to the laboratory that the hospital had prepared for her. However, she was worried that Yuan Shi would not be able to figure out the situation in the family compound while she was in the laboratory, so she wanted to go to the dean to ask about the situation in the family compound.
Unexpectedly, when I passed by the ward, I saw nurse Xiaoqin changing the dressing for the injured Zhang Zhi, the same one she had treated yesterday.
"Take your medicine! Why aren't you taking it?" Xiaoqin brought the medicine to Zhang Zhi's lips.
"Nurse Xiaoqin, I'm not blind. You just used this medicine to clean my wound. How am I supposed to take it?" Zhang Zhi kept his mouth tightly shut.
"Hey, is this the same thing Dr. Bai fed you yesterday? You doubt me and I doubt Dr. Bai?" Xiaoqin said, hands on her hips.
Remembering the doctor who had pulled him back from the brink of death, Zhang Zhi closed his eyes, picked up the bowl of medicine, and gulped it down.
Bai Yan: ……
Let him drink it. Anyway, he has restorative cell fluid in his body, so there won't be any major problems.
Bai Yan quickly turned and left, going to the dean's office to express her current concerns.
"You don't need to worry about that, I've already made arrangements." Dean Fang, at his age, was certainly aware of these things. He called Xiaoqin over and said, "I've arranged for Xiaoqin to stay with your mother for a while so she can get familiar with the situation here."
"That really took up Nurse Xiaoqin's time." Bai Yan thanked her with a smile, "I'll treat Nurse Xiaoqin to Western food when I'm done."
Western food is very fashionable these days, and there are fewer than three such restaurants in the entire Fengyi area.
Xiaoqin quickly shook her head, her face flushed with embarrassment: "No, it didn't take up much of my time. I'm taking care of Zhang Zhi now! You're really amazing. His fever has gone down, and last night he kept saying he was fine and wanted to be discharged to go to the front line."
He then bowed deeply to Bai Yan with all his heart: "Dr. Bai, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have said you were a fraud."
Bai Yan accepted her apology, but still added, "He doesn't need to take the medicine anymore. Just clean his wounds and apply external dressings."
