Chapter 111 Marine Hot Spring Comprehensive Sanatorium (Part 7)
Mingzhao didn't know why Maomao had specifically assigned these people to him.
Judging from her behavior last night, she doesn't seem to want to know too many secrets.
However, she had no objections; she did want to get in touch with these people to see if she could obtain any useful information.
After finishing her meal, Mingzhao began her nursing duties.
The worksheet showed that these people were assigned to the most remote empty courtyard.
Mingzhao diligently followed the prescribed procedures for providing care before finally going to their place.
These four people are three men and one woman.
The first room was occupied by the woman, and it was a certain distance away from the courtyard occupied by the three men.
Mingzhao walked in, and the patient's eyes lit up when he saw her.
Contrary to Mingzhao's expectation that their minds would be controlled by something, this patient appeared to be very lucid.
She was very happy to see Mingzhao.
"You're our caregiver! That's great! I was worried that some weird-looking animal would come."
"You came in with us, right? I think I've seen you before."
Therefore, it seems that all her memories are normal.
Mingzhao began to care for her.
The young woman obediently raised her lower leg, revealing a patch of grayish scales on her skin.
It almost covered her entire calf.
The scales were deeply embedded in the flesh, and the skin was red and swollen.
Mingzhao picked up a scale with tweezers and shook it.
The scales looked as if they grew out of the muscles underneath, not like they were implanted later in life.
Throughout this process, the girl showed no sign of pain; instead, she watched her movements with curiosity.
Next, Mingzhao took out alcohol and iodine and began to disinfect her wound.
The girl still didn't react, and even started talking to Mingzhao.
"I heard that you have a miracle drug provided with every meal here, is that true?"
There is a standard answer to this question, and Mingzhao will answer it in a matter-of-fact manner:
"That's right, lunch here is self-service; you can choose either the miracle drug or food."
The girl burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, you're so funny. With miracle drugs available, who would choose ordinary creatures?"
After chatting for a while, Mingzhao felt that the two of them had become familiar with each other.
The girl's memory and thinking are normal; she only seems to say strange things when things like miracle drugs are mentioned.
"How did you become a patient? Weren't you a caregiver like me before?"
The girl scratched the back of her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, it's because of this growth on my leg. It hurts and itches all over, and I can't work at all. Fortunately, the sanatorium has good benefits. My supervising teacher said I can come here for treatment first, and then go back home after I'm better."
"You know what, this miracle drug stopped the itching immediately after use. I don't know what it's made of, it's so amazing."
Mingzhao frowned; this was strange.
It was obvious that those people weren't there from the beginning last night; it seemed like some kind of struggle had taken place.
Logically speaking, they must have gone out to complete a mission, which is why they were dealt with and ended up like this.
But according to the girl, it seems that she grew these scales first?
Mingzhao didn't know which was the true order, or whether the girl's memories had been altered.
The girl, on the other hand, seemed very optimistic and was still talking to Mingzhao.
"I don't know how long we can stay in this sanatorium. If we go back in the future, I wonder if we can take some miracle medicine with us, so that we won't be afraid of getting injured on the ship."
Mingzhao wasn't so optimistic. After witnessing everything that happened last night, she realized that something about these people had been completely changed.
Can they really get back on the flight path?
After that, Mingzhao took care of the three men.
The three people were in similar situations to the girl.
Gills grew on a person's neck, a person's fingers turned into tentacles, and a person developed large, festering sores on their chest.
However, they were also optimistic and seemed very satisfied with their current lives.
Mingzhao discovered another strange thing.
When she talked about daily tasks, these people all said that their daily tasks were perfectly normal.
As for the specific details, they all claimed they couldn't remember.
Mingzhao felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
Although we've seen many life-and-death separations in the game, no one would feel good watching their fellow human beings happily transform into another species.
Remembering the caregiver's guide that said not to trust what patients say, Mingzhao felt it was necessary for her to interact with normal players.
She's becoming more and more skilled at nursing, and even with four more people, she still has plenty of free time.
After lunch, she didn't rest and immediately began her nursing work.
It was all finished by 4 p.m.
So she followed the directions in her memory and headed to the sanatorium building she had visited before.
All the other players are here except for her.
There were no rules that said she couldn't go there, and Maomao never restricted her movements during the day.
As long as you go home for dinner on time, that's fine.
Therefore, Mingzhao did not hide anything from the past.
She encountered several employees responsible for miscellaneous tasks on the way, who greeted her politely.
Upon entering the building, Mingzhao discovered that the employees there were much busier than she was.
There are about twenty wards on one floor, very close together, with 2-4 patients in each ward.
This place seems to be a normal sanatorium, and the patients all have common illnesses.
They were also not nearly as optimistic as their patients.
Illness tormented everyone, leaving them depressed and unhappy.
Mingzhao found a kind-looking auntie who was resting at the nursing station.
She had met her at the beginning; at that time, she was talking to someone and seemed very expressive.
"Sister, do you still remember me? I was assigned to the lower courtyard."
The aunt looked at her, clapped her hands, and showed a look of sudden realization.
"Hey, I know you! You don't know how envious we all are of you. I heard that you have a good supply of miracle drugs, and patients are easy to take care of. Unlike us, where violence happens all the time."
"Sister, what exactly does that miracle drug you mentioned do?"
The aunt looked at Mingzhao with a serious expression.
"You don't even know about this miracle drug? I've never seen it either, but I've heard these patients say it's a drug that can cure all diseases and stabilize mental illnesses. It can cure anything."
"Seriously, such a thing exists? It sounds so strange."
"Right? I also find it strange. You have no idea, these patients are waiting for that one bottle of medicine every day. Sometimes the supply is tight and there isn't enough for the day, which will definitely lead to violent incidents caused by fighting over the miracle drug."
It sounds like this aunt is still quite mentally sound; she didn't show any obvious change in her understanding when the miracle drug was mentioned.
Mingzhao found another boy who looked like a very innocent college student.
"What are your daily tasks? Do you remember them?"
