The Medical Department stated that not only would they dispatch doctors and people with special abilities to the various shanty towns, but they would also separate the various areas, prohibiting influenza patients from different areas from moving around, and cutting off the transmission routes as much as possible.
Lin Tantan was quite surprised.
To do this, the base must have put in a lot of effort. I didn't expect them to be willing to do so. After all, medical resources are precious. If they are used to treat rich people, they may not be able to cure all the patients, and that will bring in a lot of income. But if they are put into the shanty towns, it is destined that they will not get much benefit.
She had a bit of respect for the current interim government of the base.
There were many shanty towns of all sizes throughout the base. The medical department took over most of them, but some were left for Lin Tantan, and Lin Tantan readily agreed.
They were busy until very late that day, and it was dark when they finished work. However, this only treated the most seriously ill people in the shantytown, and it was still far from a cure. The gazes of those patients made the departing psychics feel a little heavy.
Back at the clinic, Lin Tan Tan started paying salaries to these psychics and bodyguards. She rented a warehouse near the clinic to store the supplies she earned. Now, of course, the salaries are paid with these supplies. On average, she pays two kilograms of food for each patient she treats.
This price is about the same as that of seeing patients in a clinic. An ordinary patient who is finally cured only has to pay a dozen or twenty kilograms of food. The attending psychic can get 70% of the income, which is divided by the number of times they treat the patient, which is about this price.
However, the clinic was free in the shantytown, which meant that Lin Tantan had no income but had to pay a lot of wages. Watching Qian Feifei and a few others reading out names, checking the number of patients, and weighing and distributing food or other supplies, Lin Tantan estimated how long the existing supplies would last, and the answer was two or three days at most.
Xu Tianjin was amazed: "Doctor Lin, you are so generous." Even a wealthy family cannot withstand such a waste.
Lin Tan Tan said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a matter of money going in and money going out." She didn't care much about supplies. Ye Xiao had Bai Cheng in charge, so she didn't have to worry about how quickly she could collect them. She didn't have any business power, and even if she did, she wouldn't be unable to support herself. So, for her, all she had to do was maintain a balance between income and expenditure.
So she decided to expand the scale of the clinic. The new wood-type mutant who came today felt that the cooperation today was pleasant. Although the individual income was less than that of others who treated rich people, they did not have to please others, worry about all kinds of things, and not to mention being cheated or blackmailed. The money was still relatively easy to make, so when faced with Lin Tantan's recruitment, they were all willing to come.
"Then gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll rent the house next door and stay here for the next two days. If things are right, we'll open branches in other areas." Lin Tantan was also very happy. The more people came, the better. They all made money for her. Although after deducting various expenses, her commission was not much in the end. "We pay wages daily here. There will be no delays. If you know any wood-type psychics, feel free to call them over. It doesn't matter if their skills are not so good, as long as they can heal illnesses."
He gave a speech, sent the wood-type mutants away, and paid the bodyguards' wages.
Their wages were much lower. Except for a few team leaders who received a little more, the others received six kilograms of food per person a day. Today, they only received half a day, which means three days. There were a total of sixty or seventy people, and more than two hundred kilograms of food were spent.
Qian Feifei looked at the half-empty warehouse, calculating the accounts, and finally said, "Let's talk about it. This salary is too high."
"It's worth the money. These are the people with the best quality. Look, they all obey orders and work efficiently. They won't cause any trouble. Moreover, each of them has martial arts skills. Those who want to make trouble can be subdued by them in a few moves. Six kilograms a day is nothing. Once they can leave the base, they may not even look down on these six kilograms of food." Lin Tan thought that the money was worth spending.
Qian Feifei thought to herself, it has been raining for more than half a month, even if there are still supplies outside, they will probably be soaked or flooded. How much supplies can there be?
When she thought about the future, she became worried and wanted to persuade Lin Tantan to save more supplies for herself, but then she felt that it was unnecessary. What she could think of, Lin Tantan could also think of. At worst, there were those people in the villa. Lin Tantan must have had a plan in mind to dare to squander like this.
Lin Tantan was considering where to put Xu Tianjin. She couldn't find a suitable house for the time being. It was definitely not an option to take him back to the villa. There were only nine of them living in the villa now. Qian Kai and Qian Feifei moved out after only two days. She didn't want to take anyone else back.
After much deliberation, she took the person to Jiang Zhongyi.
Jiang Zhongyi lived in a residential complex very close to the villa, on the fifth floor, in a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Six people lived there, all of them former students and close friends. They ran her clinic during the day, but she didn't need them anymore when she went to the shantytown to talk in the afternoon. They were still inferior to professional bodyguards; they might not be able to handle the commotion of the ordinary patients in the shantytown who weren't getting treatment.
When Lin Tan came in, he heard wailing sounds from inside through the door.
Lin Tantan knocked on the door. The man who opened the door was shirtless, with wet hair as if covered in mud and water. He looked listless. When he opened the door and saw Lin Tantan, he almost closed the door again, smiling apologetically and shouting into the house.
Then there was the sound of people rushing back into the house to get dressed.
Lin Tan Tan brought Xu Tianjin in and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?" As soon as they came in, they smelled a smell, a little sour, a little smelly, like the smell of smelly shoes. In short, it was hard to describe.
There were several rows of wet clothes hanging on the balcony. Jiang Zhongyi was using his supernatural powers to dry them. He hurried over and asked, "Sister Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Tan Tan introduced Xu Tianjin to him: "...It's too late today, let him stay here for one night." She glanced at Xu Tianjin, and Xu Tianjin quickly put the bag in his hand on the table. It was six vacuum-packed glutinous rice dumplings with meat and egg yolks. They could be eaten after heating. It was a rare delicacy nowadays.
Jiang Zhongyi was embarrassed: "Come if you want, why bring food? Sister Lin's people can stay as long as they want. Dongzi, clean up our room and we can sleep on the sofa."
Xu Tianjin quickly refused, but couldn't get over it. Lin Tan said with a smile, "Just stay in the bedroom. It's only for one night anyway. If you feel bad, just go and help."
After he said that, Xu Tianjin scratched his head, put down his big backpack, and went into the house to help.
Jiang Zhongyi looked at the bulging bag, which was filled with something unknown, and then at the white bucket leaning against it. That was thirty liters of water. Oh my goodness! Although they said the water supply was rationed, a house could only get ten kilograms a day. Six grown men, it was not enough!
If they wanted to use extra water, they had to buy it themselves. Fortunately, they all came from Yang City together and had many water systems, so they knew each other. He was also a team leader on the road, so they gave him face and were willing to sell some at a low price. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to buy it even if they were willing to do so.
In this way, they managed to make themselves almost hairy. Don't be fooled by their decent appearance in the clinic. They all wore the best clothes, with only their clean faces and hands showing.
Lin Tan Tan gestured for him to step aside and talk: "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him go out alone or interact with others alone. Then try to get him to say something and ask him what he thinks of me."
Jiang Zhongyi was startled: "Is there something wrong with that kid?"
"It's not a problem. He's an old acquaintance, but I haven't seen him for a while. I want to observe him. After thinking about it, I don't feel safe leaving this matter to others."
Doesn't this mean trusting him? Jiang Zhongyi grinned: "Then let him stay here forever."
"Forget it, there are six of you now, just tonight."
"What can you observe in one night? Don't worry about it. I will make sure he stays here quietly."
Lin Tan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, as for the rent, I'll give you some water every day."
"Why rent?" But he couldn't refuse, they really were short of water.
After finishing her business, Lin Tan Tan was about to leave. The smell here made it difficult for her to stay any longer. "By the way, why are you all sighing?"
"Hey, aren't we going to move bricks over there this afternoon? Many places there have been damaged by the rain. That's not a job for just anyone. It's best to follow you, sister."
"Then come with me to the shantytown tomorrow afternoon. You can also call more people. Those bodyguards get six kilograms of food a day, and you're getting less than that. Just like in the clinic, you get five kilograms a day."
Jiang Zhongyi was very happy: "Great."
"Take Xu Tianjin to the clinic tomorrow." After Lin Tantan finished giving the instructions, he said something to Xu Tianjin before leaving.
She looked at the closed door and thought to herself, this was an observation of Xu Tianjin and also a test for him. If he couldn't withstand Jiang Zhongyi's indirect hints, then she would have to reconsider how to deal with him.
The corridor was dark and dirty. Lin Tantan turned on the flashlight and saw a lot of garbage. She walked downstairs without changing her expression, thinking about what Xu Tianjin had said when she came over on the way.
He'd deliberately shown off in front of Zhou Yan before, most notably on a rainstorm day when he insisted Zhou Yan return to base. Would Zhou Yan discover anything? And would Xu Tianjin's personality be significantly different from his original self after traveling through time?
Besides Xu Tianjin, will there be anyone else coming from three hundred years later?
Lin Tantan felt a bit of a headache when he thought about this. If he had known earlier, he would not use his own name, but directly use the name "Lin Tantan". As long as he was from her era three hundred years later, it would be difficult not to have heard of her name and deeds. She would be a real target.
Fortunately, I didn’t show all five systems. Even if someone comes to "recognize me as a relative", I will refuse to acknowledge them.
Even if her identity was revealed... she thought about it carefully and realized that there wouldn't be any serious consequences. At most, she would be treated as an outlier and arrested for questioning the direction of history. Her only worry was that it would eventually be discovered that the apocalypse was accelerated because of her. She would definitely become the target of public criticism. If that happened... the worst that could happen was that she would leave Ye Xiao.
Walking out of the corridor, looking at the dark night sky, it started to drizzle again. She raised the flashlight to shine on the tiny raindrops falling from the eaves, which looked like salt and feathers, and sighed with regret.
Her heart ached when she thought about having to leave Ye Xiao.
That's why I don't want any variables.
She was about to leave when she suddenly saw a dark figure standing in the open space in front of her. He was holding a large umbrella and standing there silently. He had no idea how long he had been standing there, and he almost blended into the night.
Lin Tantan was startled. She shone her flashlight, but it didn't reach that far. However, she still recognized the figure with her sharp eyes. "Ye Xiao!" She ran over and asked, "Why are you here?"
After saying this, she suddenly felt that it sounded very familiar. She seemed to have said similar words more than two or three times. Every time he appeared unexpectedly, and then her mood instantly brightened up when she saw him.
Just like now, all the heavy worries flew away, she smiled at the man under the umbrella, Ye Xiao, are you a little angel?
Ye Xiao took two steps forward and tilted his umbrella over to take her under it. The only lights around him were a few dim streetlights and the light from her hand. Her face was a little blurry, but he could still accurately capture the smile on her face and the light in her eyes. He smiled back, "It's so late and I saw you weren't back yet. I was worried and came out to look for you."
"Oh, I see." Lin Tantan touched his nose. It was quite late.
Ye Xiao: "Are you done? Can we go now?"
"Okay, let's go, you don't have to come out to look for me in the future, I won't get lost."
"No, the security here is not good. I'm worried about you, a girl." Ye Xiao said.
"I'm not an ordinary girl, and I've already reported it and told Brother Bai that I'll be back later." Lin Tantan muttered, shining the flashlight on the road ahead. There were a lot of puddles, so she had to be careful when walking.
Ye Xiao glanced at her and tilted the umbrella towards her again: "That still makes me worried." After a pause, he added: "Unless -"
Lin Tantan turned to look at him.
Ye Xiao stopped and looked into her eyes, with an unmistakable seriousness in his gaze.
Lin Tantan felt something was wrong, and his heart tightened. He shuddered inexplicably: "Unless, unless what?"
The raindrops hitting the umbrella made a slight sound. The two of them were a little close to each other. Lin Tantan had to look up at her, and Ye Xiao covered his eyes slightly. Apart from the solemnity in his expression, more complicated things were difficult to see.
After only looking at each other for two seconds, Lin Tantan suddenly turned his head and exclaimed, "Ah!": "The rain is getting heavy, let's go!" Then he walked away.
Ye Xiao stood there for a moment, lowered his eyes, and smiled helplessly.
