Chapter 227 246. Interrogation
Zhuang Xu only chatted with the customer for a while, and then went to prepare medicine for Xu Zhi after getting a general understanding. It took some time to prepare the medicine, and another hour had passed when it was finished.
"Your medicine is quite troublesome. I'm not trying to rip you off by charging too much. If it weren't for the fact that your case is quite interesting, I wouldn't even treat someone with a similar condition."
After all, if you are not careful, the patient may die. It is troublesome and you won’t make much money.
"Okay, there aren't many medicines this time. You have basically no external injuries, but your internal injuries are still very serious. These are for internal use, three times a day, after meals."
"Remember to keep this potion safe. Drink it once a day before bed."
Zhuang Xu spent most of his time preparing these seven tubes of medicine.
"Okay, remember to bring the consultation fee next time you come. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first."
Zhuang Xu's last words seemed to have a profound meaning.
The army is looking for people. Although he thinks there is no problem with the sisters, the army will not listen to him. It is better to go back early to clear the suspicion first, so as not to get into trouble because of the delay in finding the people.
"Thank you, doctor. See you next time."
Since when, Xu Zhi has become the one who makes the final decision, and Qi Yanxin is more likely to stay by her side to help her get medicine and push her wheelchair.
Looking at the backs of Xu Zhi and Qi Yanxin leaving, the guest blinked: "What a strange sister combination."
"Yeah, the sister in the wheelchair looks very imposing, but the sister looks like an ordinary scavenger at first glance."
The guest nodded. "They don't look like sisters at all. They don't match. They seem like people from two different worlds."
"Is she a transcendent?"
Zhuang Xu nodded: "Don't worry about others, come here, I'll show you."
The guest shook his head and said, "What's so good about this? It's been like this for so many years. If I can't go upstairs, I'll just wait to die."
Zhuang Xu didn't say anything else, but a hint of sadness flashed across his silent expression.
On the way home, Qi Yanxin was a little silent. Xu Zhi slightly raised the brim of his baseball cap and looked back at her, and found that she looked a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhi asked.
Qi Yanxin pursed her lips and said, "I'm just a little scared. I've never seen an army before."
Xu Zhi was a little puzzled: "Is the army scary?"
Qi Yanxin nodded: "It is rumored that people in the army kill without blinking an eye. Anyone who disrespects the army or disobeys orders will be executed."
It sounds very "authoritarian" and completely different from the federal army.
"If we just listen and don't provoke them, everything should be fine, right?"
Xu Zhi was actually quite curious about the grassroots military. She thought that one of the few channels for the grassroots to access "knowledge" might be the military.
However, before the right opportunity came, Xu Zhi did not want to rashly contact the military, and could wait and see if there were other channels. But now, the "opportunity" came so suddenly.
When the two approached the slums, they saw a parked convoy and a newly erected cordon on the outskirts.
The soldiers on guard in the surrounding area were wearing blue-black uniforms. The moment they saw Qi Yanxin and Xu Zhi walking towards them, their vigilant eyes swept over them.
Under the other person's sharp gaze, Qi Yanxin tightened his hands slightly while pushing the wheelchair, suppressed his fear of the army and continued walking towards his home. After a few steps, they were stopped.
Even the soldier who stopped them didn't ask any questions but directly ordered the person next to him, "Take them away for questioning."
Xu Zhi was a little surprised. This was really arbitrary. Or perhaps it could be said that people in the slums had no "human rights" in front of them.
The place for questioning was a temporary tent. Perhaps because Xu Zhi was in a wheelchair, the people escorting them were quite patient and did not urge them to walk faster.
The sky was a little gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain. The light in the tent was a little dim. Xu Zhi squinted her eyes when she was pushed in. Although the recovery of her extraordinary ability made her eyesight slightly better, she could only see things nearby. The visible distance was only about four or five meters. Any farther away was a blur, and beyond ten meters, she couldn't tell whether men or women were there.
Looking into the tent at this moment, she could only barely make out a table in the middle of the tent, with two rows of chairs on each side, where many scavengers were sitting, waiting to be questioned.
Behind the table stood two soldiers with guns and an officer who was sitting and writing something.
After Xu Zhi and Qi Yanxin were brought in, the officer looked up. Xu Zhi felt that the officer's expression should have changed when he saw her sitting in a wheelchair, but she couldn't see clearly because of the distance.
"Name, where do you live, and why are you near here?"
A few formulaic questions came out of the officer's mouth. When Xu Zhi heard the voice, he realized that this was probably a rather young female officer.
Qi Yanxin's voice sounded particularly reserved, and she answered the officer's questions seriously. After Qi Yanxin finished speaking, the officer raised his head and looked at them.
"Buy medicine? What's wrong with you?"
Is this also something that needs to be asked?
Qi Yanxin was a little confused for a moment, because she didn't know how to tell her what disease Xu Zhi had.
"Doctor, we don't know what the disease is. We just have to take whatever medicine the doctor prescribes." Xu Zhi answered for her.
Compared to Qi Yanxin, Xu Zhi's voice was obviously clearer and more organized.
"Take out the medicine and check it." The female officer's voice was emotionless, cold and rigid.
"This..." Qi Yanxin seemed to want to say something, but the soldier coming towards her did not give her the chance. He took the medicine from her hand and placed it in front of the officer.
The sound of pockets being rummaged was heard, and soon the tubes of reagents were in the officer's hands.
"Medicine for extraordinary people? Who among you is an extraordinary person?"
Her tone became noticeably more dangerous.
Xu Zhi thought about what the guest said. Everyone was speculating that the murderer of the bloody crime would be a superhuman, but superhumans were extremely rare in the slums. Now, the medicine for superhumans suddenly appeared in Qi Yanxin's pocket, so he would naturally become the target of public criticism.
However, Xu Zhi already had a plan before entering the tent.
She said very calmly: "Sir, this is my medicine. I am a transcendent."
"You?" A questioning voice asked.
A frail slum girl in a wheelchair says she is a superhuman?
This really sounded like a joke, but the officer still asked seriously, "What attribute?"
She gave a look to the adjutant beside her, who nodded and walked outside to prepare reagents for attribute testing.
Although I asked Xu Zhi, I still need to test it again to confirm.
Soon, an answer came out of the girl's mouth that she had never expected.
"lamp."
"I am of the Light Attribute, sir."
How is that possible?
This was the officer's first reaction.
How could there be a person with extraordinary [Light] attributes in a place like this?
She raised her head, no longer glancing at him hastily, but looking at Xu Zhi carefully and earnestly with sharp eyes.
