Chapter 32 Alarm
◎The cleanup operation is about to begin◎
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Gu Nian decisively raised his hand and prepared to try again.
However, there was someone next to her who was faster than her. A thick big palm came down with the sound of wind and hit Qian Baobao's neck hard. Qian Baobao, who had just screamed, fainted again with a scream.
Shi Yan smiled innocently, "Healer Gu, you're a Purifier after all. Your strength is too weak. The baby woke up before I even started treating him."
Gu Nian had no choice but to nod and encourage, "Well done."
Perhaps because he rarely received praise, Shi Yan was clearly delighted. He actively grabbed Qian Baobao's legs and said, "I'll hold him down. You can focus on the treatment."
Gu Nian: "...Okay."
She sat back in the corner and closed her eyes, but kept her hands away from Qian Baobao. In reality, her treatment was complete; Qian Baobao had been completely stunned by Shi Yan's blow.
But it was fine this way, she just had to count the time and wait for half an hour.
When the time was almost up, Gu Nian opened his eyes.
Seeing her stand up, the staff opened the glass door again. Shang Rou walked in quickly. Seeing Qian Baobao unconscious, she asked cautiously, "Therapist Gu, is he a liar?"
Gu Nian recalled Zhong Xingchi's reaction after the cleansing. He leaned against the wall, pretending to be weak, and said, "He's fine now. He'll wake up soon. All he needs to do from now on is get more rest."
Shang Rou said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
Gu Nian shook her head to indicate that everything was fine. Just as she was about to go out, the staff member next to her skillfully extended her hand. She paused, then naturally reached out to support the other person and was helped out.
Shang Rou instructed Shi Yan to pick up Qian Baobao from the ground and carry him out with her. Then the staff arranged him in a normal ward outside.
After a few people came out, several heads popped out from the corridors on both sides at the same time, all looked at Gu Nian, and then quickly flattered her with such skillful speed that it was heartbreaking.
"This must be our new healer! The purification speed is so fast, it's amazing!"
"This is at least C-level. It's rare to find a therapist with such good skills. He's young and promising."
"You look familiar to me. We must know each other. Maybe we were neighbors, classmates, or even distant relatives. When do you have time to treat me to a meal?"
These people just open their mouths and give compliments as if they are free.
Fortunately, Gu Nian had experienced this once when he came here in the morning, and he knew that those who could stay in a normal ward could actually wait a while, so he waved his hand calmly and said that he would definitely do it next time.
The people who flattered me didn't care. After all, saying nice things didn't cost money, and if you had a good relationship with the therapist, you might even be able to jump the queue if something went wrong. That would be like saving your life.
Seeing Gu Nian's response, some people happily ran over to exchange contact information.
The staff didn't know what happened that morning and were afraid that Gu Nian would be scared away, so they quickly sent everyone back to the ward and assured Gu Nian: "Don't worry, our treatment center will never force therapists."
Gu Nian smiled and said, "It's okay, I know."
Although he was not tired, Gu Nian still pretended to rest for a while on the sixth floor, and then asked the staff if he could go to the tenth floor to find Zhong Xingchi.
The staff member first took out his mobile phone and made a call, then nodded and said, "You can go over. Therapist Zhong said the situation up there has stabilized." With the combined efforts of the therapists, the three psychics were finally pulled back from the brink of alienation.
Gu Nian's card hadn't been processed yet, so she temporarily borrowed a staff member's card. When she was about to go up, Shang Rou came over with Shi Yan, "Therapist Gu, let Shi Yan go up and help."
The people who were receiving treatment upstairs were all their teammates. Perhaps out of concern, Gu Nian did not refuse and took Shi Yan into the elevator.
The elevator door opened, and Zhong Xingchi was standing outside, looking much worse. Unlike Gu Nian, who was pretending to be weak, he was truly shaky.
Shi Yan, who was standing in front, came out first. Seeing Zhong Xingchi like this, he imitated the way the staff had helped Gu Nian just now and grabbed his arm, "Therapist Zhong, let me help you!"
Zhong Xingchi was already unsteady on his feet, and was almost pulled to the ground by the sudden force. Grinning in pain, he quickly said, "No, no, I can do it!"
But Shi Yan thought he was just being polite and refused to let go.
In the end, Gu Nian stepped forward and rescued Zhong Xingchi from Shi Yan's iron grip, then helped him sit down on a chair nearby. Knowing that Shi Yan wanted to see his teammates, Zhong Xingchi quickly called a staff member and asked them to take Shi Yan over.
However, at this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the corridor.
Zhong Xingchi stood up suddenly and said, "Something happened on the 18th floor."
This is a signal to summon the psychics. When the alarm sounds, it means that the purification of the 18th floor has failed, and the extremely aggressive psychics have been completely alienated.
The cleanup operation is about to begin.
Zhong Xingchi quickly explained to Gu Nian, then said, "The regular passages between all floors will be closed soon. We must find a room to hide in and wait for the clearance to be completed."
Although the 18th floor was tightly sealed and rarely encountered accidents, as a precaution and to prevent chaos, when the alarm sounded, the other floors would be temporarily sealed off. Furthermore, the entire building would be sealed off until the mutants were completely eliminated.
Shi Yan immediately wanted to go down, but the elevator and stairs were blocked. Fortunately, although he could be a bit naive at times, he wasn't completely stupid, so he didn't try to leave.
All the psychics in the ward have returned to their rooms. Under the guidance of the staff, Gu Nian and the other two found an empty room and hid in it.
It was quiet outside, and the three people in the room all looked unhappy.
The sound of this alarm meant someone was going to die. Whether it was a mutant or someone who might be injured or even killed in the purge plan, it was unacceptable.
Shi Yan looked out the door and muttered to himself, "I don't know if it was Fatty or One-Eye. Fatty's ability is defensive, so he probably doesn't have that much offensive power. One-Eye's ability is mimicry. Thanks to him, we were able to get out of that contaminated area this time."
Shi Yan spoke without any emotion, but the atmosphere became inexplicably heavy.
Gu Nian was wondering if she should say something comforting at this time. Before she could figure out what to say, she heard a burst of footsteps suddenly coming from outside.
In the quiet environment, the footsteps were particularly obvious.
Then, the footsteps stopped in front of their room door and there was a knock on the door.
Shi Yan stopped talking to himself.
In silence, Gu Nian asked softly, "What did you say the one-eyed creature's ability was?"
