Lin Tantan also felt the very unfriendly aura from Ye Xiao, so she did not act rashly. Looking over Ye Xiao's shoulder, she saw the tearful guy in front of her looking frightened. He even forgot to cry, with his mouth open, like a frightened little mouse.
She doesn't look threatening. I think someone just called her "Doctor Lin". In this world, she got this title only after she opened this temporary clinic, and people started calling her that. So, is it a patient seeking medical treatment or a patient's family member?
She's crying so hard, her condition must be very serious, right?
In fact, these days, when she walked on the street, she often met people who were in urgent need of medical treatment, or some people who were trying to win her over. She was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing, and she had preconceived ideas. Her observation was not as detailed as Ye Xiao's, so she didn't pay much attention to Xu Tianjin's strange mood.
Lin Tantan took a step to the side, revealing his entire face from behind Ye Xiao. "What can I do for you?"
Ye Xiao glanced at her and said to the guy in front of him: "What's your name, where are you from, and what do you want to say?" His tone was cold. Xu Tianjin's mind was already in a mess, and he ran over subconsciously. His words were completely unorganized, and he was frightened by Ye Xiao and his mind was completely confused.
"No, nothing." After saying that, he ran away with his neck shrunk.
Lin Tan Tan: "..."
Ye Xiao turned around and helped her put on the hat she had just let go of. He also tidied up her hair and said, "Don't pay attention to such a strange person."
"Yeah." Ye Xiao's movements were very natural and frank, but the warm touch of his fingers brushing against her face still made her feel uncomfortable. She tilted her head and said, "Let's go."
Ye Xiao withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
At dinner that night, Lin Tantan sat on the sofa next to Bai Cheng and said, "Brother Bai, I need some help."
Bai Cheng was cutting an orange. He had gotten it from somewhere today. It was fresh and juicy. He handed a slice to Lin Tan. "What kind do you want? How many? What are you going to use it for?"
"We don't need people with special abilities, just ordinary people will do, the kind that are big and strong enough to be bodyguards, basically to maintain order. I'm going to the shantytown tomorrow." Lin Tantan took a bite of the orange; the juice was sweet and sour, very refreshing and delicious.
"Go to the shantytown?" A voice sounded, and Ye Xiao came down from the stairs after washing up, with water droplets on his head.
Ye Xiao was covered in moisture at this time. He wore a loose white thin sweater on his upper body, casual pants on the bottom, and slippers on his feet. He exuded a sense of leisure and relaxation, which was very different from his daytime self.
Because Lin Tantan deliberately avoided her during this period, she had already gone to her room when he came back. They had never lived in the same room together when they were in the west of the city, so this was the first time Lin Tantan saw her like this. She was like the tall and handsome male protagonist in the comics, shining and awesome outside, but when she got home, she took off her armor and disguise, switching from elite mode to home mode in a second.
In short, it is extremely harmless, warm, and soft, allowing people to rub and hug it without any scruples.
Lin Tantan was frightened by her own desire to rub and hug, so she coughed, lowered her head and continued to eat her orange.
Ye Xiao sat on the sofa next to her and asked again, "What are you going to do in the shantytown?"
The Ning City base is quite large and has a huge population, so it is naturally divided into many areas, but there are no clear names. The so-called shantytowns are areas formed by the survivors who built their own houses with bricks, soil, tiles, wooden boards, foam boards, and even rags and oil paper.
The people living there are very poor, and they can basically be considered the lowest class in the base.
The shantytown that Lin Tantan mentioned is the one closest to the villa here.
Lin Tan Tan glanced at him slightly. His damp hair gleamed under the light. There was no classic scene of water running down his neck to his collar, but he faintly exuded the refreshing scent of someone who had just showered. Perhaps because of the strong internal heat in his body, there was also a hint of warmth in the scent, which was still a little... subtle.
She felt a little uncomfortable again.
She looked towards Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng didn't even look up at Ye Xiao, still concentrating on cutting his orange. Eh, is it because she hasn't paid attention to him for a while? Why does it feel like there's no gay love between them anymore?
As a result of thinking about it, he forgot to answer Ye Xiao's question until he called out: "Let's talk?"
"Huh? Oh, tomorrow afternoon, we're going to check on the patients there," Lin Tantan replied quickly. "The rain's light now, and people are out and about, and if they come into contact with each other more, the flu will definitely become more contagious. I heard that's where the most patients are."
It costs a lot of money to go to her clinic for treatment. Few people living in shanty towns can afford medical treatment, and the living conditions there are poor, so there are a lot of patients there.
Ye Xiao frowned: "Just go and take a look."
"Uh, some critically ill patients." Thinking of some news, Lin Tan's eyes dimmed slightly. "I heard there was a death today."
If someone fell ill or died from common causes, or even from an epidemic, Lin Tantan would at best feel a heavy heart and worry. She wasn't a professional doctor, hadn't taken an oath upon joining the profession, and didn't harbor the mindset of saving lives and healing the wounded. Being a convalescent nurse was simply a way for her to earn a living and repay her parents and teachers. Later, the state valued her greatly, awarding her numerous awards and preferential treatment. Her patients, filled with gratitude, showered her with gifts, expanding her scope for gratitude.
But in fact, she doesn't think her profession is noble, nor does she think she should be selfless. To put it bluntly, it's just a job.
However, this time the flu was caused by heavy rain. Suspecting that the rain had come early because of her, Lin Tantan felt a heavy weight on her heart. This was also why she had recruited several wood-type psychics to open a clinic together, and why she had to see hundreds of patients a day.
And now, there are deaths.
Bai Cheng said: "I've heard about it too, but those patients died mainly because of poor nutrition. It's more likely that they died of starvation than of illness." And there are many such people at the Ning City base every day.
He said to Lin Tan: "It's difficult to treat patients in the shantytowns."
"I know, but let's go check it out anyway," Lin Tantan insisted. If the flu outbreak really became uncontrollable and the death toll skyrocketed, she wouldn't be able to sleep. Saving a few hundred or a thousand people wouldn't be helpful to the overall situation, but she couldn't just do nothing.
Ye Xiao looked at her slightly furrowed brows, sighed inwardly, and rubbed her head with his hand: "Go if you want to, Lao Bai, arrange more people for her." The shantytown was very chaotic, "Find more wood-type mutants."
Lin Tantan was very happy when he saw the approval in his eyes. It was worth being happy to get support.
After finishing the story, Lin Tan Tan did not stay any longer, and went upstairs after saying that he was going to sleep first.
The position was that Bai Cheng sat in the middle of the long sofa, she sat on his right, and Ye Xiao sat on the single sofa next to her.
It was like she was sitting between the two of them, and she felt like she was glowing, like a high-power light bulb, so she decided to leave quickly.
Ye Xiao's eyes followed her figure, and Bai Cheng smiled and said, "You two are really the same."
One goes to the city wall in the rain every day to fight zombies, while the other would rather go to places like shanty towns to provide free medical treatment to save more people.
Perhaps it was due to his poor ideological awareness, but he simply didn't have that kind of spirit. However, it was still reassuring to have such a companion around.
Ye Xiao's eyes softened and were filled with warmth: "I will go to see Lu Jianping tomorrow." Lu Jianping was the name of the base chief.
"Go see him?" Bai Cheng quickly understood. "You want to talk about the flu?"
Ye Xiao: "The base's prevention measures for influenza are too passive."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in what's happening here?" He even had to find another excuse to fight zombies. However, Bai Cheng naturally knew why he did it. He shook his head and said nothing more.
The next day, Lin Tantan dealt with the patients who had appointments in the morning, closed the clinic in the afternoon, and took several people to the shantytown.
Bai Cheng hired a professional bodyguard team for her. They came from a security company before the apocalypse and were much more professional than Jiang Zhongyi. He also hired dozens of wood-type psychics at high salaries. A large base like Ning City Base could easily employ hundreds of wood-type psychics, and those hired by Bai Cheng were all truly capable.
This is the benefit of an intermediary agency becoming famous. Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract so many wood-type mutants in such a short period of time.
Many of these people came to see Lin Tan, and they all wanted to see what the legendary person with supernatural powers who could almost bring the dead looked like.
Lin Tantan did not feel embarrassed or dissatisfied at all about being watched. She was very happy about the joining of these people with special abilities. Together with the people already in her clinic, there were dozens of people in total.
A high-level wood-type superpower would need to treat a flu patient in five sessions to be nearly cured, and their superpowers allow them to treat 20 to 30 patients in a day, which means they can cure 20 to 30 patients in five days.
Don’t underestimate this number, but there are only dozens of people there, and they alone can handle more than a thousand patients a day.
The shantytown she was going to this time was not very big, with less than 100,000 people. One out of ten people had the flu, which meant less than 10,000 people. One out of ten patients was seriously ill, which meant less than 1,000 people. Including her, she should be able to treat them all in one afternoon.
Outside the shantytown, cars couldn't drive in, so people had to get out and walk. The water was high and filled with suspended solids, making it filthy. Lin Tan frowned. In such an environment, even if you didn't get the flu, you'd definitely get something else.
She didn't let the team in. She chose a spot and set up a row of tables and chairs. When they were done, the shantytown residents who had heard the news also arrived. They were excited to learn that they could see patients for free, but Lin Tantan had clearly stated the symptoms of the patients she would see on paper. Those with milder conditions would not be treated.
Some people grumbled in dissatisfaction, some were indignant, some cried and begged, and some were excited and ecstatic. They hurried back to bring their sick patients who were almost dying at home. Soon, every wood-type mutant had his own patient assigned, and the waiting line was getting longer and longer.
Xu Tianjin was more clever this time. He was not sick and didn't know anyone in the shantytown, but he observed in the corner for a long time and found that an old lady who had Lin Tantan's number in the queue was almost out of breath, and the man who was supporting her was pale and thin. He was almost exhausted from carrying her over. Not long after sitting down, the old lady vomited again. The man could not handle it alone, so he quickly pretended to be a kind-hearted person and went up to help.
"Thank you, brother." The man freed his hands to clean up the filth, apologized to the people next to him, and thanked Xu Tianjin for helping him take care of his mother.
"It's okay, it's just a small favor. I'm worried about you seeing you carrying Auntie by yourself. I'll help you take her there later. What's your number?"
"Number 6, it's here very quickly. Thank you so much, brother."
Xu Tianjin was ashamed.
"Next one is number L06." After an anxious and long wait, he finally heard the number. Xu Tianjin's heart was beating violently. He swallowed hard and, with his body stiff, he and the man half-supported and half-carried the old lady over. When they lifted the tarpaulin, they saw Lin Tantan sitting behind the table, writing something with a pen. For a moment, he felt as if he had been hit hard.
Looks like it, really looks like it!
"Help the man lie down." Lin Tantan looked up and said, "Just leave one family member behind."
Xu Tianjin helped to help the person to the bed, but when he should have left, he stood there and refused to move.
The man was at a loss as to what to do as he was reluctant to chase the person away.
Lin Tantan wrote a few more words, remembering they were the symptoms of the previous patient. When he finished, he realized there were still two people standing there. "Who of you will leave? There's no need to keep two people."
The man quickly explained that he was the patient's son and that Xu Tianjin was a kind man who helped him. Lin Tantan looked at Xu Tianjin and felt vaguely familiar with him. Oh, it was the guy who had cried so hard and ran so fast yesterday.
I didn't expect him to be such a kind person.
Warm-hearted people always make people feel good about them. Lin Tan's tone became a little better, but he still asked the person to leave.
Xu Tianjin moved his lips, his voice trembling: "Doctor Lin, are you Doctor Lin?"
Lin Tan was puzzled: "Yes, I am."
"Then do you remember the National Central Hospital?" Xu Tianjin took two steps forward and asked in a trembling voice that was trying to suppress his excitement.
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misheard. Her eyes widened and her pupils trembled slightly.
There should be no such thing as a national central hospital in this world. What does this person mean?
Xu Tianjin continued, "A national-level special-grade convalescent therapist."
Lin Tantan stood up suddenly.
