Xia He looked at the iron pillar in front of her and thought, "In my previous life, there were no post-apocalyptic fortresses, let alone the opportunity to collect metal. This life is so different."
Xia He suddenly felt hopeful about the future, but she didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Lin for the time being, so she took the two little ones and left without saying goodbye.
Xia He went to the medical station to visit Dr. Qian. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it had been a long time since she had seen Dr. Qian and she wondered how he was doing lately.
Inside the medical station, Dr. Qian was busy at a table, his figure somewhat hunched, but full of determination and a sense of responsibility.
Dr. Qian was wearing a white doctor's coat, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead were a testament to the vicissitudes of time.
Thanks to Dr. Fu's improved air conditioning, the indoor temperature in the medical station was quite comfortable. Although it didn't completely block out the high temperatures, it wasn't too unbearable.
Xia He felt uneasy watching Dr. Qian, who was constantly busy. There were many people suffering from heatstroke in the current high temperatures, and medical resources were simply insufficient, as were manpower. Xia He noticed that the medicine Dr. Qian was giving to the patients was all traditional Chinese medicine, which made her realize that Western medicine was currently unavailable. However, there was nothing that could be done about it.
Xia He turned and left the medical station. In a secluded spot, she placed the two little ones into her spatial storage. Then she returned to the medical station and stood beside Dr. Qian. Dr. Qian looked at Xia He, and although she didn't speak, he understood her meaning.
Although Xia He doesn't know how to treat illnesses, she can still do some odd jobs, such as helping patients check their temperature and handing them medicine.
They worked tirelessly until dawn, when the number of staff at the medical station gradually dwindled.
Dr. Qian rubbed his sore eyes and brows, then looked at Xia He and said, "Xia, you've worked hard all night. Go back and rest. I can manage things here."
No sooner had Dr. Qian finished speaking than he began coughing violently.
Xia He frowned slightly and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern, "Dr. Qian, you're working too hard."
Dr. Qian waved her hand laboriously, but the coughing continued. She said with difficulty, "It's nothing, I'm probably just a little tired. I'll go upstairs to rest for a while. Xia, you should go back and rest early."
The young nurse standing nearby looked at Dr. Qian, her face contorted with worry. "Dr. Qian, you really don't take care of your health! You fainted before, and now you're still so busy. Do you even care about your life?!"
Xia He frowned as she listened to these words, then took out a diluted spiritual liquid from her spatial storage.
"Dr. Qian, would you like some water?"
Without much thought, Dr. Qian picked up the water Xia He handed him, drank some, and immediately felt refreshed and his fatigue vanished.
With shining eyes, she asked Xia He, "Xia, what kind of water is this? It has such miraculous effects!"
Xia He made up a reason: "This is water I bought in a place called Ghost Market before the apocalypse. It was advertised as curing all diseases. I bought some out of curiosity and have been stockpiling it ever since. At first, I didn't dare to drink it, but later I dared to drink some and found that it was indeed different from ordinary water."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Qian's eyes lit up a little more. "A cure for all diseases? Luckily, I only drank one sip of this water. I need to take this water and study it carefully."
After saying that, the old lady took a shaky step and went upstairs to the laboratory. However, it was clear that Dr. Qian was very excited.
