After a while, she began to feel sleepy.

Tu Ran didn't try hard to stay awake. She just let her thoughts blur and she quickly fell asleep.

Her body was healing rapidly.

The fluid in the lump on the face gradually seeped out, and the swelling slowly subsided and returned to its original state.

The bruises and scars on his body gradually faded and healed.

The broken ribs also quickly formed hematomas, which then turned into calluses within an hour. The calluses were rapidly remodeled and reshaped, returning to their original state.

Everything will get better after a good night's sleep.

When Tu Ran opened her eyes, seven hours had passed.

The young nurse is already waiting outside.

Tu Ran climbed out of the nutrition cabin, went into the shower room in the locker room, washed off the remaining mucus on her body, and put on her clothes.

Tu Ran looked in the mirror and found that her face had returned to normal.

She no longer needs to wear a mask.

When I left the locker room, I saw Xu Bingli waiting outside.

Tu Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is Doctor Xu waiting for me?"

"Yes." Xu Bingli nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

The two of them sat together on the lounge chair against the wall.

"I need to know how you got injured," Xu Bingli explained, fearing that the question would be abrupt. "This is the responsibility of our medical department. We will find out the reasons for the injuries of every injured federal government employee and report them to our superiors."

Tu Ran remained calm and said, "I ran into a group of extreme protesters on my way and had some conflicts with them."

Extreme protesters generally do not kill government officials when they see them, they just beat them up.

Every year the Ministry of Health receives a group of government personnel who have been beaten by radical protesters.

However, Tu Ran is currently the first pioneer to be caught by extreme protesters.

"Miss Tu, do you need me to report this to the Execution Department? They can help you find that group of people."

"No need." She had made it up in the first place. If the executive department got involved and couldn't find that group of people, they would not suspect her. "I have already dealt with them myself."

"Miss Tu is indeed a pioneer." Xu Bingli praised politely. Tu Ran smiled faintly, "Anything else you need to ask?"

"No more," Xu Bingli said gently, "It's four o'clock in the morning now. Miss Tu, please be careful when you go back."

Four o'clock in the morning?

So late... early?

"Has Dr. Xu been waiting for me here?" Tu Ran looked at him. If so, she would feel very guilty.

Xu Bingli smiled warmly, "Miss Tu, don't worry. It's my turn to be on duty tonight, and I won't sleep anyway."

"Oh, then being a doctor must be really hard." Tu Ran sighed.

Fortunately, when she graduated, no hospital wanted her.

"Although it's hard work, there's little risk and the benefits are good. The ones who really have it hard are you pioneers. Facing alien species head-on is really dangerous." Xu Bingli sighed.

Tu Ran nodded, nothing to say.

She also felt very tired.

She doesn't want to do it anymore.

But she signed the contract.

She still has nine years to work before she can retire.

Nine years, it makes me despair just thinking about it.

"Then I won't bother Dr. Xu anymore. Goodbye." Tu Ran said goodbye politely.

"Well, bye."

At four in the morning, the federal government's suspended rail car was still running.

Tu Ran took a bus home, changed her clothes, picked up her work communicator, and returned to the administrative building of the Federal Center.

After sleeping for eight hours in the nutrient solution, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

There were still many lights on in the administrative building at four in the morning.
