This appearance was exactly like when she set up a stall to provide medical treatment in Beiyan. For a moment, Jiang Jiuniang felt quite nostalgic.
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've held a free clinic. I must hold one when I get back after this busy period, otherwise everyone will forget that she is Dr. Jiang and only remember her as Mrs. Lu.
"When we go back this time, you'll come with me to run the free clinic, so I won't be all overwhelmed by the task alone."
Jiang Jiuniang linked arms with Ruozheng and kept imagining the future.
Seeing her like this, Ruozheng couldn't help but smile. She always looked forward to the future with such optimism, as if nothing could stop her.
That makes sense, she's always been so unrestrained and carefree.
"My medical skills are not as good as yours, so it's best if you don't go around harming people."
With Jiang Jiuniang by her side, she relaxed and became more at ease. Even though she was sitting in the ruins and could be blown to pieces at any moment, she wasn't worried at all and could chat with Jiang Jiuniang in a relaxed manner, just like before.
"How can you say that? That was a time when medical technology was backward. Even if you went there, you would still be revered as a divine doctor. Although it's a bit unfair for us to stand on the shoulders of giants, we can indeed cure diseases and save lives. I'm even planning to open a medical school, and I'll invite you to be a teacher then. You must dedicate all your knowledge to it!"
Ruozheng nodded and smiled, "When I have nowhere to go, I'll have to rely on you to take me in. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
"Oh my, poor thing, don't worry, I'll take care of you. I'll find you ten or eight handsome guys to serve you, how about that?"
"That's more like it! In recent years, I haven't seen many normal men, let alone handsome young men..."
As Ruozheng spoke, he seemed to be getting a little hungry.
Jiang Jiuniang gave a knowing look, as if she were the best friend she knew, and laughed in a very flirtatious way.
Just then, someone came over. It was a child who had brought them earlier, and they were asking for medicine.
The other party was honest and had a fairly good attitude, so Jiang Jiuniang casually gave him a pill.
But he didn't leave. He said, "There are too many people over there. Why don't you just give me a bottle and I'll take it over and share it with everyone?"
"Anyway, it's not far away, so they can just come and get it from me."
Jiang Jiuniang wasn't stupid; she wouldn't let someone take advantage of such a loophole.
The man instantly turned hostile and reached out to snatch it, but Jiang Jiuniang reacted quickly and stomped him to the ground.
"Trying to play tricks on your great-aunt? Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Jiuniang was having a good time chatting when she unexpectedly encountered someone who would bring bad luck upon her. How unlucky!
Some people are simply not worth saving; they've disgraced her medicine.
It was disgusting enough already, but then this person started yelling at the top of their lungs, "Don't believe them, everyone! They're the ones who brought the zombies in! They want to kill us!"
Jiang Jiuniang narrowed her eyes. Good heavens, she originally thought he came for the medicine, but she didn't expect him to come for her.
It's true that she let the zombies in, but the main targets were the Experimentation Bureau, the leader, and his rabble. Ordinary civilians were only attacked after the leader had ordered a bombardment.
Besides, how many of the people living in Y City are truly innocent civilians?
Jiang Jiuniang was able to give them medicine because she felt sorry for the children. No matter how evil their parents did or how many unjust benefits they enjoyed, they were always passively receiving them. She wanted to help them if she could, but she never expected that this person would bite the hand that fed her. He was truly being incredibly filial.
Before they could react, the people being chased by the zombies pounced on them, baring their teeth and claws, cursing and swearing, but their hands were busy trying to snatch the pills from her hand.
Seeing this, Ruozheng wanted to explain, but Jiang Jiuniang grabbed her and ran away. She didn't want to kill, she wanted to accumulate good karma for her family and children, but she didn't want to care about these heartless people anymore.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
"Oh dear!"
Ruozheng exclaimed in surprise, the bottle of zombie-attracting powder that Jiang Jiuniang had given her had fallen!
Worried that she would be misused by these people, she wanted to go back and pick it up, but Jiang Jiuniang didn't even turn her head and pulled her away.
Sure enough, the people picked up the small bottles and began to fight over them like madmen, thinking that this would stop the zombies from attacking them. But to their surprise, the zombies swarmed over them like they were seeing a feast, tearing them to pieces.
The children who brought these people over were terrified. They were given pills, and it had been clearly explained to them beforehand. How could they fight over a bottle of powder and end up like this?
When Ruozheng turned around, she saw them being torn apart. Her eyes were filled with pain. How could she be so useless? She couldn't even hold a small medicine bottle properly. If it weren't for her, those people might not have...
"Alright, stop wasting your time like this. It has nothing to do with you."
Once they reached a safe place, Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help but interrupt her self-inflicted exhaustion.
"Those people were never good people to begin with. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been torn to pieces. They're no different from zombies! Even if they hadn't used that potion, they would have been caught up by the zombies behind them, or blown to pieces by the other people's cannons. There's not much emotion in this world. Don't you understand yet?"
In order to get rid of internal strife and stop blaming herself for everything, Jiang Jiuniang spent many years transforming herself into who she is today. She thought that Ruozheng, who had always been in such an environment, should be more hard-hearted than her, but she was not surprised that she was still the same as before, getting into such internal strife over trivial matters.
It makes sense. If Ruozheng didn't have this kind of personality, he wouldn't have been imprisoned for so many years, yet he was still able to maintain his original aspirations and wholeheartedly plan for the future of this world.
Jiang Jiuniang patted her hand and said, "If you let go of your desire to help others, life will be much better than you imagine."
"Let's go see how Zhuzhu is doing. I should have let you do Zhuzhu's work instead, so you wouldn't feel so guilty."
Jiang Jiuniang made a decision: when she returned to Beiyan, she would definitely have a good talk with Ruozheng. This couldn't go on; even the best spiritual spring water couldn't cure a mental illness.
Ruozheng knew that Jiang Jiuniang was right, but he couldn't control his guilt. After all, it was his mistake that hastened the deaths of those people.
Fortunately, she was determined to change this bad habit. She took a deep breath and told herself that it had nothing to do with her before going with Jiang Jiuniang to find Zhuzhu.
At this moment, a large number of people had gathered in the leader's villa, some anxious and some angry, all waiting for the leader to make a decision.
To deal with so many zombies in the city, the only option is to exterminate them all. However, there are also many humans among them. If they cannot be evacuated in time, they will all be wiped out along with them.
Opinions are now divided into two camps. One camp believes that everyone is human and we shouldn't be so ruthless; we should find a way to disperse the crowd.
The other side felt that they were all useless people, and that their deaths would save resources, especially since the situation was getting worse and worse, and that everyone had to look out for themselves.
