Chapter 121 The Heart of a Healer
"She...she's a doctor? That's wonderful!"
Chen Hai said happily. He had thought that Han Shuo and the others only had some medicine, but he did not expect that one of them was actually a doctor.
Given the current situation outside, everyone knows how scarce doctors are—far fewer than giant pandas!
Han Shuo smiled and said politely.
"Yes, Shurou's medical skills are very strong and professional."
"Thank you so much, thank you for your help."
As Chen Hai spoke, he actually stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shurou.
Go!
Han Shuo turned around and spoke to the two of them, while also giving the fat man a wink.
The fat man immediately understood:
Han Shuo wants me to go with him to prevent any risks and protect Shu Rou.
Even if Fatty is terrible at it, he's still a genetically engineered human.
Okay.
The fat man responded and quickly stood up from the ground. After Li Shurou took out a small medicine box from her backpack, the two of them turned around and left with the child.
Before leaving, the child turned around happily, waved, and shouted.
"Thank you, Uncle Hai. Thank you, big brother."
What a sensible yet heartbreaking child...
At this moment, only Han Shuo and Chen Hai were by the fire.
Chen Hai had already recognized the man in front of him as the leader.
Just as she was about to continue expressing her gratitude, Han Shuo interrupted her.
"Alright, Uncle Hai, there's no need for such formalities. Let's wait for them to return and see the results."
"Okay," Chen Hai replied, and the two then changed the subject again and started chatting casually.
During this time, Han Shuo and Chen Hai had already stated that the three of them would not join them here, but would only stay for one night and leave the next day.
Although it was impossible to distinguish between day and night in the sewers, it was already evening outside when Han Shuo came down to avoid the zombie horde, and according to the time, it was already night above.
The three of them had been driving all day and had also experienced two crises in succession, so they were quite exhausted.
It seems that Chen Hai's place is relatively safe. Staying overnight to relieve their fatigue and then leaving at dawn is a good option for the three of them.
Of course, even though he was allowed to stay overnight, Han Shuo would still be on guard at night.
When Chen Hai heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful; in the end, he still couldn't keep these three people.
However, he also knew that Han Shuo and the others seemed to have something to do and were not on the same side as him, so Chen Hai did not force them to stay.
For Chen Hai, the female doctor who was able to reach out and save him was the greatest favor he could receive.
For decades, Chen Hai has been diligent and honest, never doing anything wrong. Very few people can do that.
Han Shuo saw this in Chen Hai.
The apocalypse reveals the true nature of people. It's easy to turn bad, even easier to become cold-blooded and selfish. Conversely, the most difficult thing is to retain humanity and remember one's true nature.
Chen Hai succeeded, and this is something Han Shuo should learn from.
He is a human being, and humans have feelings. Han Shuo doesn't want to become a cold-blooded and ruthless killing machine; he wants to be his most authentic self.
Of course, this is all predicated on him and his companions surviving. If someone with malicious intent targets or affects them...
Han Shuo will still launch a decisive counterattack, and may even nip it in the bud, because he is the leader of the team.
What he considered and decided to do was not only for himself, but also for the rest of the team.
It is precisely because Han Shuo clearly knew this that he and his friends have survived to this day.
...
"Brother Han Shuo, don't worry, I know this place well, and we'll climb up here from time to time to look for food. Tomorrow I will definitely take you to the safest exit."
Chen Hai responded politely.
After a brief encounter, the two left a very good impression on each other.
Han Shuo said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Hai."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shurou and the fat man walked over.
"Han Shuo, Uncle Hai, don't worry, the child's mother has woken up. Although she is weak, she should be out of danger in the short term."
Seeing Li Shurou say this, Chen Hai sincerely thanked her again.
Han Shuo was also puzzled. He had noticed that everyone around him looked unwell and sickly, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Shurou, what happened? What's wrong with you?"
"Sigh, Uncle Hai mentioned before that they often eat rat meat, so I suspect they might have some bacterial infection," Li Shurou sighed.
"I see." Han Shuo nodded, but there was nothing he could do about it; having something to eat was better than starving to death.
"Also, Uncle Hai, your bodies must be suffering from staying in such a cold and damp place all the time."
The fat man muttered something, then, in a fit of social arrogance, he walked over to Chen Hai and patted him on the shoulder.
Keep in mind, they've only known each other for a short time.
Chen Hai didn't seem to mind, and just smiled wryly.
"Yes, Fatty is right. It's okay to stay in such a dark place for a short time, but if you stay there for too long, your body will definitely have problems."
Li Shurou also chimed in with a comment.
"Ultimately, this is not a long-term solution."
Han Shuo spoke first, then thought about it carefully.
After all, the sewers are different from underground research institutes. Although both are underground, research institutes have advanced technology to support them, and such problems are prevented in advance when they are built.
To put it simply, apart from the lack of sunlight, the living environment in the underground research institute is no different from that outside.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. At least we can barely survive here."
Chen Hai looked somewhat dejected. With his abilities, this was all he could do, and he felt a pang of self-blame, realizing he wasn't a good leader.
Han Shuo and the other two understood Chen Hai's feelings at that moment, so they quickly stopped talking about it and casually changed the subject.
Before we knew it, several hours had passed.
Li Shurou ran around the camp, constantly checking on and treating the weak survivors, with Fatty always following behind to protect her.
During this time, nothing went wrong. Everyone in the camp treated Li Shurou with the same respect as they appeared. Several elderly people even kindly offered extra bedding to Han Shuo and his companions.
Everyone knows that the female doctor who arrived unexpectedly really helped them a lot.
Although it consumed some medicine, Han Shuo felt it was worthwhile.
Because he hadn't seen Li Shurou smile so genuinely in a long time.
Perhaps this is the quality a doctor should have, or perhaps this is Li Shurou's truest original intention.
In the unpredictable and treacherous world of the apocalypse, most people are completely twisted and have lost their humanity. They will stop at nothing to get what they want.
In Han Shuo's view, when the ugly side of human nature is exposed, it is even more terrifying than the zombies outside.
After all, most zombies don't know how to scheme.
Tonight, Han Shuo felt as if he were seeing scenes from the past here. Because of Li Shurou, everyone was smiling from the bottom of their hearts.
This feeling is wonderful, so wonderful...
