Li Xiuqing was mixing medicine in the office in the injury ward on the first floor.
She was wearing a gown that was obviously washed out, but it made her skin look even whiter than snow. She had long hair tied in a ponytail, bangs, a high nose bridge, and a gentle face, but her expression gave off a cold feeling.
She is the only doctor in the urban village health station. She is quiet but kind-hearted. She often helps the elderly treat their back and leg pains and chronic diseases, and is deeply loved by the neighbors.
When the apocalypse broke out, a free clinic was being held in the community hospital. After the disaster struck, a temporary injury area was set up in the yard to treat the injured.
When Wu Dayong brought his people here, he was very respectful to her. After all, she was the only doctor here. In this dangerous world, everyone gets hurt sometimes. She felt at ease to continue taking care of the patients here.
It was she who bandaged Wu Dayong's blinded left eye.
But...how long can this peace last?
Li Xiuqing showed a hint of fatigue in her eyes as she looked behind the curtain in the office.
She used her office as a makeshift ward to treat patients who were not convenient to show up in public.
She took the prepared medicine and walked behind the curtain, where a woman of similar age was lying. Her face was pale and her body was covered with scars from beatings.
"I'll apply medicine for you. It may be a little painful, just bear with it." She said softly to the woman.
The woman stared at Li Xiuqing's face and let out a creepy laugh, "Doctor Li, is it useful? If I live one more day, I will suffer one more day, ha...hahahaha..."
Li Xiuqing looked at the woman's sad smile and was silent for a moment. He could only say some empty comfort: "As long as you survive, there will always be hope."
"Hope...hahaha...hope!" She grabbed Li Xiuqing's hand like crazy and pulled her over. "Yesterday! I watched my husband die with my own eyes. He was torn into pieces by zombies!"
"At that moment, before I had time to grieve, I was shaking with fear and knew everything was over."
"I also hoped for a miracle, but they still came... At night, they dragged me out of the cave. I cried and begged for mercy. I also hoped for a miracle, but...
"I just heard those beasts laughing in my ears! How happy they were!"
The woman grabbed Li Xiuqing by the collar, her eyes wide open with bloodshot, and she screamed at her, "Where was the hope then! Doctor Li, where were you!!!"
Li Xiuqing looked at the woman calmly, but there was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her eyes. "I can't do anything. I'm sorry."
The woman seemed to have thought of something, so she let her go and laughed even more strangely, "No need to apologize, Doctor Li, you are much prettier than me... Hehe, they won't let you go, hahaha!"
"Those beasts won't let you go! You'll become like me! No! You'll be even worse off than me! Hahahaha..."
She was crazy. The woman could not accept her husband's death, and even more so, she could not accept the dark life she would have to face in the future.
Li Xiuqing sighed softly, took out the tranquilizer hidden in the corner, and let the woman gradually lose consciousness.
I carefully applied anti-inflammatory medicine to the woman. She sat on the bed for a long time. The hoarse scream just now left her stunned.
She shook her head, trying to wake herself up and prepare to mix a new potion.
Two big men came in from the door and walked straight to Li Xiuqing, "Doctor Li, Boss Wu, please come over."
Li Xiuqing frowned. Normally, these thugs would knock on the door and say hello before entering a room, but today they just barged in without restraint.
Suppressing the irritation in her heart, she responded, "Does he need to change the medicine for his wound? I'll get the medicine, wait a moment."
"Hurry up, Doctor Li. The boss hasn't been in a good mood lately. If you're slow we'll be scolded."
The two sturdy men kept looking at Li Xiuqing's thin figure and licked their saliva subconsciously.
My buddies have been coveting this pretty girl for a long time, but unfortunately the boss has been suppressing her and not letting us play with her.
I didn’t expect that after escaping death yesterday, blessing would fall from the sky today! That guy must have played twice more for his dead brother.
Li Xiuqing prepared the medicine, but the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.
At this time, she saw the two bastards making advances towards the woman on the bed.
Without thinking too much, she interrupted the two men and said, "I'm ready, let's go."
