The chair was overturned to the ground. Lin Tantan looked at the man in surprise and suspicion, not knowing how to respond for a moment. Seeing her reaction, Xu Tianjin seemed to see hope and became even more excited: "And me, do you still remember me? My name is Xu Tianjin, last year, no, I'm talking about that world..." one year ago.
Before he could finish his words, Lin Tantan yelled at him, "Shut up!"
Xu Tianjin was shaking from drinking and stared blankly at Lin Tan Tan. Seeing his silly look, Lin Tan Tan looked at his sick son who was confused and seemed to have no idea what was going on, and pressed his head with a headache.
A man outside poked his head in: "Doctor Lin, what's wrong? Is someone causing trouble?" This man was one of the hired bodyguards. He looked at the three people in the tent with a sharp gaze. As long as Lin Tan gave the order, he would throw them out immediately.
"It's okay." Lin Tantan waved his hand and looked at Xu Tianjin. "Stay here. Don't move. Don't talk. I'll talk to you later."
“…Oh.” Xu Tianjin obediently shrank to the side.
Lin Tantan treated the old lady. Her condition was very serious. She could only improve her condition. If she wanted to get better, she had to supplement her nutrition.
After the patient and his family left, Lin Tantan calmed down, told others that she would take a break, and turned to look at Xu Tianjin.
Xu Tianjin immediately stood up and straightened his back. Lin Tantan felt a headache coming back: "Come out with me."
This is not the place to talk.
She led Xu Tianjin to an open area, making sure that no one around could have overheard their conversation. She frowned at him and said, "Tell me what's going on."
This wasn't the tearful scene he'd imagined, meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Xu Tianjin felt uneasy, "You, you're Doctor Lin, right?"
Lin Tantan looked at him carefully. She didn't recognize this face or this person, but she was very familiar with the name Xu Tianjin. He was the gold-type mutant whose superpowers collapsed and whom she took over when she was nineteen. It took her more than half a year to completely cure him.
When she finally announced that he didn't have to come anymore, the guy burst into tears. She thought he was too happy, but he said he was reluctant to not be able to see her in the future.
He's a bit of a silly guy.
After that, he often gave her various gifts. Because his family was well-off and he was very generous, he would come to see her during the Chinese New Year and other holidays and give her some very childish surprises.
If it was someone else standing in front of her today, Lin Tantan's first thought might be to kill him to silence him, because she didn't want anyone to know her secret, but she couldn't bring herself to do it to this naive and silly guy.
Well, it’s really hard to do it.
Lin Tan Tan sighed: "When did you come?"
This was a tacit agreement. Xu Tianjin felt relieved and smiled broadly, "He's been here not long. The specific date... should be the 21st of last week."
January 21st!
Lin Tantan's heart skipped a beat. It was the date the mutant plant had been discovered. Could the early appearance of the mutant plant have anything to do with him?
Lin Tan Tan suppressed the thought in his heart: "How did you get here?"
"I don't know either. One moment I was at your memorial service, Dr. Lin, and the next moment I opened my eyes, I was lying here on the bed." What he didn't say was that he cried so hard at the memorial service that his head hurt so much that he felt dizzy, and then he came over.
Lin Tantan was stunned: "A memorial service..."
Hearing about her own memorial service, Lin Tantan felt a little strange. After coming here, she decided to start over and rarely recalled the past. But these three words suddenly brought back many memories. She couldn't help but ask, "Are my parents okay?"
"It's okay, it's just... quite sad."
Lin Tan Tan sighed, then looked at Xu Tianjin. It would be great if this guy could go back and tell them that he was fine here. Anyway, this guy didn't look like someone who could live well in the apocalypse.
Lin Tan Tan asked, "Can you go back again?"
"ah?"
Lin Tan Tan also knew that it was useless to ask. If he could go back, would he still choose to stay here?
She asked, "Have you been in the base since you arrived? Where is the original owner of this body? What have you been doing these days?"
Xu Tianjin scratched his head. "I have no memories of this body. Other than knowing his name was Xu Tianjin, I don't know anything else. Later, I heard from others that everyone in his family was mauled to death by zombies. He cried day and night, and probably cried himself to death. He was a pretty negative person."
Lin Tantan's mouth twitched. "Cry yourself to death?" There was such a thing, but this personality seemed somewhat similar to Xu Tianjin's. She remembered him as a genuine second-generation rich kid, spoiled and not one who could handle difficult situations well. Suddenly, her face changed. "How did you ask people about this? Didn't anyone notice?"
"No, no, I still have brains."
Lin Tantan felt that it was difficult to feel at ease: "Where are you now? Since you are alone, come to me." It was reasonable and logical that since she did not intend to kill the person, she would definitely keep this person by her side and watch over him.
Xu Tianjin suddenly looked extremely guilty and began to stammer. Lin Tantan looked skeptical, "What's wrong?"
"I, I'm with Zhou Yan." Seeing Lin Tan's dangerous look, he quickly added, "This body was originally an employee of Zhou Yan's company. It's a coincidence, a coincidence."
"Coincidence? So you don't want to cling to Zhou Yan?"
"I, I..." Xu Tianjin's eyes dodged.
Lin Tantan grabbed him by the collar and said, "Did you really go to curry favor with him? Did you tell him anything? Did you tell him everything?!"
"No, no, no!" Xu Tianjin felt like his neck was about to be strangled. "I didn't say anything!"
Lin Tan Tan looked at him for a long moment, confirming he wasn't lying before slowly saying, "Although Zhou Yan was successful in history, he was a nobody in his early days. Even if he eventually achieved success, who knows how many people followed him. It's unwise to bet on him."
Xu Tianjin broke out in a cold sweat. "Yes, yes, I understand." He had never thought Doctor Lin so intimidating before, but now he was surprisingly imposing. He hurriedly said ingratiatingly, "I didn't know you were by Ye Xiao's side before, but now that you're here, Zhou Yan is definitely in trouble."
Lin Tantan's expression eased a little, he wasn't too stupid.
Ye Xiao came over to see what was going on, but he didn't expect to see Lin Tan Tan grabbing a man. The man was the guy he had seen yesterday.
Ye Xiao stopped.
Lin Tantan's face didn't look good, and the man had a fawning look on his face and an extremely obscene smile. Ye Xiao frowned and was about to go over when he saw Lin Tantan's expression soften.
Lin Tan Tan said to Xu Tianjin, "It's good that you know this. Don't have any contact with Zhou Yan again. He's a very cunning man. If you're around him too much, he'll inevitably see through you." She let go of his collar, then suddenly her eyes became stern. "You haven't been seen through, have you?"
"No, no, I'm very careful." Xu Tianjin said hurriedly, "Even if you drive me back, I won't go. It's not as safe and promising as following you, Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin, I will follow you." He was servile, with some uneasiness in his eyes, like a big dog afraid of being abandoned.
It was as if he looked at himself pitifully when he was tortured by superpower collapse syndrome in the past.
Lin Tantan always has a soft spot for his patients: "As long as you keep your mouth shut."
Xu Tianjin immediately made a zipper-like gesture and smiled happily, "Then, Doctor Lin, can I hug you?"
Lin Tantan looked at him and nodded. Xu Tianjin then grinned, opened his arms, and hugged Lin Tantan, leaning on her shoulder. His eyes immediately reddened. "Doctor Lin, it's great to see you here."
It was like finding an organization. The panic of coming to this terrible world, the helplessness of not knowing what to do in the future, and the fear of being shrouded in death all suddenly disappeared at this moment.
This was the worst of times, but he found the boss!
Lin Tantan's expression softened. She was very happy to meet someone from the same era, an acquaintance at that, across three hundred years.
Although this guy doesn't seem very reliable, he will bring some instability to himself.
She reached out and patted his back.
Xu Tianjin began to sob.
Lin Tantan's face turned a little dark: "Don't smear your tears and snot on my clothes. Also, what's that smell on you? How many days have you not showered?"
Xu Tianjin quickly let go of her and continued to whimper, "I haven't taken a shower since I came here. I don't even have enough water to drink every day."
Lin Tan Tan: "..."
I really want to change my clothes quickly.
She rolled her eyes, looked at him with disgust, and reached into her pocket to take out a tissue: "With this quality of life, is it worth it for you to hug my thigh? Hurry up and wipe it. I'll find you a house to live in later. You take good care of yourself."
But what specific arrangements should be made for Xu Tianjin? After much thought, Lin Tan Tan decided that it would be best to keep him under his watch. He should be with him during the day, but someone should be watching him at night. He should also inquire about his past relationship with Zhou Yan.
After thinking it over, she said, "Okay, if you want to stay with me now, I have patients. We can talk later."
"Hey!" Xu Tianjin responded happily, and the two of them went back. A moment later, Ye Xiao came out from behind the cover in the distance and watched them go away indifferently.
After that, Lin Tantan continued to treat her patients. The only difference was that there was a little tail following her around, watching her treat the patients with relish and acting as a free assistant. Although Lin Tantan despised his sanitary conditions, the people in the shantytowns were worse off than him. So the patient didn't need to leave any family members to accompany her. Without those surprised eyes staring at her, she felt a lot more at ease.
Xu Tianjin said with admiration, "Doctor Lin, your treatment techniques seem to be getting more and more sophisticated. You didn't treat this kind of disease often before, did you?"
"In the past, there were regular hospitals, so of course I wouldn't be needed for this kind of illness. But the theory is the same. You just need to know where the lesion is and focus on it."
"oh oh."
Suddenly, there was a bit of commotion outside, as if someone was coming. The bodyguard outside said, "Doctor Lin, the medical department is here."
Medical department?
Lin Tantan had just finished treating a patient and was walking out when a middle-aged woman who looked smart and amiable came from the medical department. She first praised Lin Tantan for her good deeds and abilities, and then said that the medical department would also join the free clinic, treating patients from all the shanty towns at the same time, and doing their best to suppress the flu.
