Chapter 226 245. The Arrival of the Army
"Doctor, could it be that the level of your reagents is too low?"
Xu Zhi is talking nonsense.
Zhuang Xu was furious: "How is that possible!"
"The reagents I prepare are definitely the best at the bottom level!"
He is not an original low-level black doctor. He has learned high-level medical skills and extraordinary knowledge. He knows much more than ordinary low-level black doctors.
If even the potion he prepared cannot test what kind of injury Xu Zhi's body has suffered, then no lower-level potion can tell!
"but."
Zhuang Xu didn't say anything final: "Perhaps after so many years, there are new reagents, and mine may be outdated."
After all, Xu Zhi's injury was obviously recent. He has been out of touch with the upper echelons for so many years, and perhaps something unexpected has happened that he is unaware of.
"And the test kit is ultimately just a routine method, not as useful as extraordinary abilities."
Zhuang Xu started blabbering some words that Xu Zhi didn't like to hear. Xu Zhi looked at him with a kind smile on his face: "Doctor, do you have any other suggestions?"
"This..." Zhuang Xu hesitated for a moment. "The equipment and materials at the bottom level are limited. I have other ways to test, but they are not feasible at the bottom level."
"Oh," Xu Zhi said, understanding, and didn't ask any further questions that might make Dr. Zhuang feel embarrassed.
Yes, a doctor who is currently at the bottom of the society, even if he has many ideas in his mind, cannot put them into practice due to various reasons.
This also indirectly shows that as long as she is still at the bottom level and has not encountered those powerful supernatural beings, there will be no risk of being exposed.
"Wait a minute, let's do a few more tests. Now that your supernatural powers have been restored, the medicine needs to be re-prescribed."
"However, medicine for extraordinary people is more expensive than that for ordinary people. If you can't bring the consultation fee next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to prescribe new medicine for you."
It’s not that Zhuang Xu is greedy, but Xu Zhi’s body really needs to take a lot of “precious” medicines for the lower class.
Especially the medicine for extraordinary people is expensive.
Hearing Zhuang Xu's words, Qi Yanxin showed a little sadness on her face, but Xu Zhi didn't care much. After all, she knew that her extraordinary abilities were recovering rapidly, and correspondingly, her self-healing ability was also gradually improving.
Even if she really can't afford the medicine, she can stop taking it and wait until her self-healing ability recovers to a higher level.
However, Xu Zhi still cooperated with Zhuang Xu to give himself a relatively comprehensive examination. The small clinic did not have many equipment, and X-rays and CT were all completed by Xiaoman's extraordinary abilities. As for the extraordinary tests, they were completed through some instruments and reagents engraved with special circuits.
"It's no big deal. It's strange, how come you recover so quickly?"
Extraordinary people are all in good health and have certain self-healing abilities, but most of the extraordinary people's self-healing is based on the abilities that come with a strong physical body, and self-healing is limited. The degree of Xu Zhi's physical damage is obviously not something that the extraordinary people's self-healing can solve.
It is not easy for [Light] to have the attribute of "self-healing" ability. Generally speaking, [Heart] should be the most common.
Although he was confused, Zhuang Xu did not directly ask what Xu Zhi's extraordinary ability was. That would be too rude. No extraordinary person would like someone to ask this right away.
Just when Zhuang Xu was thinking about which new medicine to prescribe for Xu Zhi, the door of the clinic was hurriedly opened and a customer walked in. Xu Zhi looked closely and found that it was Zhuang Xu's good friend.
He looked hurried, and the moment he saw Zhuang Xu, he shouted, "Zhuang Xu! Why are you still so leisurely? The army has arrived!"
Doctor Zhuang frowned. "So soon? Didn't you say half a month?"
The guest spread his hands and said, "How would I know that?"
Doctor Zhuang's face showed a hint of helplessness: "I knew you were unreliable! When will your information ever be accurate?"
"Stop talking and hide those shameful things of yours! The army is nearby now."
"Haha." Doctor Zhuang sneered, "If I had waited for you to remind me, I would have been caught eight hundred times. I would have hidden myself long ago!"
"But you said the army is nearby?"
What is the army doing around here?
"That's right!" the guest said, gesticulating excitedly. "Don't you know? Something happened in the nearby slums this morning. The army arrived here, and I don't know who tipped off the group, or why, but those busy folks suddenly became so focused on the murders in the slums."
"You haven't seen it, people in military uniforms with guns drawn have surrounded the slums. Now people are only allowed to enter but not leave!"
The expressions of the other people present were solemn when they heard this, but most of them were because they felt the solemn atmosphere brought by the army. They didn't understand why a "giant" like the army would suddenly become interested in the bloody incident in the slums. Only Xu Zhi could guess some of the reasons.
"I heard the army is hunting down the murderer and is looking for everyone living in that slum to be brought in for questioning!"
Hearing this, Zhuang Xu's eyes fell on the two sisters who were still in his clinic. He didn't think that the two sisters were the "murderers" that the army was looking for. He just knew that they lived in that slum and subconsciously looked over at them.
"What case is it?" Zhuang Xu was a little curious. He didn't live in the slums and had no idea what happened in the morning.
Although the guest seemed unreliable, he was indeed well-informed: "It seems that a murderer has been taking advantage of the seasonal fog to sneak into the homes of many scavengers and brutally kill them, then drag them out to the streets and dismember their bodies. This morning, when the fog cleared, everyone went out and saw blood and body parts everywhere on the street!"
His description was vivid, but Dr. Zhuang frowned and asked, "Dismembering a body is no easy task, and leaving the streets covered in blood and body parts is even more difficult. Are you sure you're not exaggerating?"
The customer was slightly angry. "I'm not exaggerating! It was just all blood and body parts! And I heard it was most likely done by one person!"
"A person?" Zhuang Xu's tone was a little incredulous: "Was it done by a transcendent?"
The guest touched his chin and said, "Probably, right? How could an ordinary person possibly do that?"
Zhuang Xu's eyes glanced at Qi Yanxin, who had been acting a little uneasy since hearing the guest's words. Her behavior was quite normal, just like the panic that ordinary people would feel after being involved in an incident. However, her sister, the patient who still couldn't stand, was surprisingly calm.
Zhuang Xu thought about the [Lights] in the academy who always looked calm, kind, and superior, and felt that it was understandable.
They are all like this!
"Didn't they say the army might be investigating something? Why are they suddenly involved in this case?"
It's not that there haven't been some extremely heinous crimes and serial killers in the slums, but the city officials have never stepped in to intervene, let alone the army.
"Who knows?"
The guest shook his head.
Zhuang Xu also understood what he didn't say. Maybe this case was related to the things the army was searching for?
After all, the lower-level military is not there to serve the lower-level people, and they won't meddle in other people's affairs.
I don’t know what’s going on downstairs, the sound of the electric drill was heard from morning to noon, I felt like a hole was drilled in my brain!
