Su Tao frowned. There was a shortage of water in the hot summer, and there were also evolving and mutated zombies.
Humanity has barely recovered from the first apocalypse, but is about to face a second, even more severe blow.
This damn apocalypse.
At this time, Guan Zining called:
"Are you guys done yet? These two girls are awake and making a fuss. I'm so fed up."
"We'll be right there."
Arriving at the office, Su Tao saw the instigating sisters tied to chairs back to back. Seeing Su Tao coming, the sister glared at her and was about to speak when Guan Zining suddenly slapped her in the face and turned her head sideways:
"Did I ever tell you not to use your powers? And you used it on her? I see you still haven't learned your lesson."
Seeing this, the sister immediately pleaded for mercy.
Su Tao moved a chair and sat down, then asked them calmly:
"Two choices. Compensate me with 60,000 federal coins and 2,000 contribution points, or I'll hand you over to the Pioneer Army and contribute your special abilities and talents."
Sixty thousand federal coins plus 2,000 contribution points can be considered extortion.
But Su Tao doesn't care. After doing something wrong, she still wants to pay back the price?
There is no such beautiful dream yet.
"Which one?"
After saying that, he took out his communicator and started the countdown: "Give me an answer within two minutes, starting now."
The two sisters' faces turned pale when they heard about sending the pioneer army.
The man they met last time in Taoyang who could see through their special abilities was from the Pioneer Army.
If you join the pioneer army, not to mention whether your life is in danger, you will have to live in fear every day, which is too uncomfortable.
When my sister heard about the compensation, she said silently:
"Boss Su, the tenants have been telling us how generous and kind you are. I never thought you would raise the rent and bully the weak."
Su Tao remained calm: "Don't flatter me or be sarcastic to me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for trying to trick me before you left. Since you did it, you have to accept it. No matter how I bully you, you deserve it. Don't you accept it?"
"It's okay if you don't agree, Zining. Take them to the hottest spot in Central Park and let them bask in the sun. Don't even give them a bite to eat or a sip of water."
"Compensate! We will compensate!" My sister couldn't bear it anymore and shouted first.
The sun is so strong that within a day I will become dehydrated and my skin will be sunburned, which is a living hell.
My sister bit her lip and said nothing.
Su Tao said: "Then transfer the money."
Guan Zining cut the rope for them and kicked their bags over to the ground.
My sister frantically found her communicator and was about to transfer the money when she suddenly remembered that they didn't have that much money.
Guan Zining said unhappily: "No money?"
My sister stammered, "We only have the rent we got back last time and 500 contribution points. We spent a lot of money on our trip to the East District a few days ago, and we're unemployed. Boss Su, can you give us a smaller amount? Or maybe we can pay you back once we've saved enough?"
Su Tao glanced at the weather outside:
"The sun is shining brightly at this hour. Do you want to go out on your own, or should I help you tie the rope?"
The elder sister looked at her younger sister in panic and asked in a low voice:
"Why don't you give them that thing?"
Although my sister was unwilling, she was now at the mercy of others and had no better way out, so she closed her eyes and nodded in pain.
My sister then said:
"What if we use crystal cores to offset this? No, not ordinary zombie crystal cores, but ones for evolving zombies. We picked them up by chance."
In fact, it was found in the bag of a dead person during a chaos that resulted in deaths.
Guan Zining stretched out his hand: "Take it out and let me see it."
"It's not with us. We're afraid it'll be lost or robbed, so we hid it outside. If you don't believe us, we can lead the way."
Guan Zining turned to Su Tao and said, "I'll let the younger one lead the way. I'll go there and leave the older one with you as a hostage."
After the agreement was reached, Guan Zining left in a swift and decisive manner.
I drove back smoothly before dinner and handed it to Su Tao:
"They weren't lying. They are indeed crystal cores for evolving zombies. Keep them. They're valuable. I heard Chang Jing is researching crystal core weapons. Once successfully developed, crystal cores will become hard currency, no less valuable than contribution points."
Su Tao opened the small drawstring bag, and inside was a green crystal core, the size of her palm.
This was the second time she had seen the crystal core of an evolved zombie. The first time was when Shi Zijin killed an evolved zombie to avenge his dead teammate and took it back.
She nodded, put it away, and said to Guan Zining:
"Thank you for your hard work. Come have dinner with us later, along with Dr. Zhong."
Before dinner, Su Tao released the instigating sisters, but of course she did not forget to threaten them:
"You've all realized it. I have people in both the East and West Districts. If you mess with Taoyang again, I'll arrest you like I did this time. Next time, it won't be as simple as compensation."
The two were really scared this time. They ran away without a trace and decided not to get involved in anything related to Taoyang again.
Can't afford to offend.
Su Tao was in a good mood. She received 40,000 federal coins, 500 contribution points, and a crystal core for evolving zombies for free.
It's a profit anyway.
After a good sleep and rest, Zhong Gaoyi changed his clothes and came out. Zhuang Wan was already waiting for him outside with the two children.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Zhong Gaoyi suddenly felt dazed when he saw this scene.
But it was only a moment of daze, and Zhuang Wan on the opposite side said happily:
"How was your rest, Doctor Zhong?"
"Very good, thank you for the hospitality."
Zhuang Wan held the two children and said, "These are my two children. The elder sister is Chenxi and the younger brother is Chenyang."
Chen Xi and Chen Yang called out in childish admiration, "Hello, Doctor Zhong!"
The little stars in the children's eyes almost popped out and stunned Zhong Gaoyi.
He laughed, half squatted down and touched Chenxi's head, and said gently: "Chenxi, can you take off your mask and let me see it?"
Chenxi was embarrassed: "It's a little ugly, don't be afraid, doctor uncle."
Zhuang Wan's heart was broken when she heard this. She helped take off the mask and said to Zhong Gaoyi:
"Doctor Zhong, please take a look first. If you can cure it, please let me know first. I will feel relieved."
Zhong Gaoyi glanced at it and said with a smile, "No problem, just bring it to me tomorrow. It's quick and painless."
Zhuang Wan's tears immediately fell, and she held Zhong Gaoyi's hand and thanked him repeatedly:
"Thank you, Dr. Zhong. Thank you so much. Without you, my Chenxi's life would have been so difficult. After the accident, I have always regretted that I did not protect her well."
Zhong Gaoyi looked at her tearful eyes and became dazed again.
He once had a wife, and he once said that he had failed to protect his daughter, but they are both gone now, leaving him alone to gasp for breath in this apocalypse.
Arriving at the cafeteria, Su Tao saw Zhuang Wan with red eyes: "My sister Shui, why are you crying again? What's wrong?"
While asking, he looked at Zhong Gaoyi who came in with him, "What happened? Did you bully her?"
Zhuang Wan quickly explained, "No, no, I'm just happy. Doctor Zhong said Chenxi's face problem is minor, and I was so happy that I burst into tears."
Chenxi and Chenyang also came over to speak well of Zhong Gaoyi.
Su Tao tapped their foreheads and said, "You two have become Dr. Zhong's fans so quickly?"
Zhong Gaoyi's face flushed.
Many people came to dinner today, including Shi Zijin and his sister, Cen Tianjiao and Grandma Cen, Old Mei and Xiao Liu.
Su Tao introduced them one by one. When it was Grandma Cen's turn, the old lady grabbed Zhong Gaoyi and said enthusiastically:
"Doctor Zhong, Taoyang welcomes you! Don't be polite, just treat this place like home!"
Mei Lao also let Xiao Liu push him forward and patted Zhong Gaoyi's arm:
"Young man, thank you for coming. Taoyang needs a good doctor like you."
In the warm light of the cafeteria, Zhong Gaoyi suddenly realized what the old doctor in the department said when he was an intern in the hospital before the end of the world: "A doctor's heart is kind."
This is it.
