Translator: 549690339

With an increase in population, conflicts inevitably arise. Back when there were fewer survivors at Shuize Base, small disputes were easily resolved with a little mediation. But now, with over five hundred survivors, it became necessary to designate specific individuals to manage these issues.

As a police officer, although Han Rui’s background was in criminal investigation, she still had considerable experience in mediating disputes, which made her well-suited for managing such matters.

Wang Tao wasn’t sure if Han Rui was aware that Ability Users could automatically become committee members, he guessed she wasn’t; otherwise, he felt there was no reason for her to keep it a secret—after all, no one was going to capture her and slice her up…

Of course, since it was someone else’s business, if she didn’t mention it, Wang Tao wasn’t going to say anything more.

As one of the few doctors at the base, Chen Zhuang was often busy. Even in the mornings, there would be many people lining up for medical consultation.

Though Chen Zhuang had the freedom to choose whether to see them or not, he was ultimately kind-hearted by nature and would typically examine anyone who came seeking his help and provide a diagnosis.

“Most people aren’t actually sick, or they just have minor issues. But they are anxious and under mental stress. While my words can’t cure their illnesses, they can help put their minds at ease.”

Once he was temporarily free, Chen Zhuang wiped his hands and explained with a smile to Wang Tao.

“Impressive!”

Wang Tao gave Chen Zhuang a thumbs up and then asked,

“How is Squad Leader Wei doing? He’s not in any life-threatening condition, is he?”

“The guy’s tough, nothing serious. But he’s broken two ribs and his thigh bone is injured as well, so he’ll need some time to recover.”

“That’s good to hear.” After confirming that Wei Zhenguo was okay, Wang Tao waved his hand toward Chen Zhuang, “Then I’ll be heading off.”

“You’re going out? Not taking a couple of days to rest?”

Chen Zhuang, seeing Wang Tao fully armed, was taken aback.

Though the Hunters of the base scavenged outside for supplies, they didn’t make the trips daily. Usually, they ventured out only once a week, spending the rest of their time resting at the base, unless they’d exhausted all supplies… after all, it was about risking one’s life!

Yet Wang Tao, who had arrived at the base just the afternoon before yesterday, had only rested for a day and was planning to go out again?

“Yeah.”

Wang Tao nodded, not offering much of an explanation.

His intent to go out was to gather materials needed for crafting the armguard and to get in touch with Ding Yuqin.

“Impressive!”

Chen Zhuang too held up a thumbs-up for Wang Tao.

Then he seemed to remember something and scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.

“Uh… if it’s on your way, could you stop by the Borui Clinic…”

“Hmm? Borui Clinic…”

Wang Tao frowned in thought; the place seemed vaguely familiar to him.

“Yes, it’s at…” Chen Zhuang provided the specific location and continued, “Mainly because there isn’t much medication left at the base, and a lot of the medication in the clinic could be useful…”

“What kind of medication specifically? I’m not familiar with these things.”

Chen Zhuang quickly explained,

“Things like hormones, antibiotics, painkillers, etc. They work fast for minor ailments, especially if you increase the dosage… Right now, we don’t have the conditions to consult specialized doctors for specific illnesses and get the precise medication, so we have to resort to these crude methods…”

Wang Tao first nodded, then expressed his doubt,

“But why hasn’t anyone from the base gone to scavenge our county’s main hospital? The medical supplies there are even richer, and we have the people and guns. Scavenging the hospital shouldn’t be hard, right?”

Hearing Wang Tao’s question, Chen Zhuang shook his head with a wry smile. “Ah, the hospital is indeed stocked, but there are also many zombies there! And… there are many special infected in the hospital! Our base did consider raiding the hospital, but after losing a small team on the first attempt, no one has mentioned going there again…”

“Oh? Lots of special infected!”

Wang Tao’s eyes brightened at this information.

Right now, it was only by killing special infected that he could increase his HP limit. If the hospital had many special infected, it couldn’t be better for him! Not to mention, special infected might drop Zombie Cores!

Seeing Wang Tao’s reaction, Chen Zhuang knew he was interested in the Crystal Cores of the special infected and quickly spoke up,

“Wang Tao, please don’t head to the main hospital! Even fully armed squads were annihilated; no matter how strong you are, you can’t stand against so many zombies! Even if those special infected carry Zombie Cores, you still need to be alive to get them!”

Noticing the concern in Chen Zhuang’s eyes, Wang Tao replied with a smile,

“Don’t worry, I’m definitely not going now; I won’t act recklessly.”

“That’s a relief!”

Chen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Tao were to risk his life at the hospital because of his words, he would feel very guilty.

“As for the clinic, I’ll assess the situation. If it’s on my way and safe, I can take a look.”

“Thank you, thank you! Just do what you can; don’t take any risks! And I won’t let you help for nothing: if you do get the medication, just hand it in for Contribution Points, and I’ll make sure to exchange with you!”

In Shuize Base, seeing a doctor doesn’t cost money, as long as the doctors are willing to provide care. However, medication requires Contribution Points.

Doctors also need Contribution Points to exchange for medication but receive a discount, and can earn Contribution Points through the price difference.

Whether before or after the apocalypse, being a doctor has always been a coveted profession.

“Sure.”

Wang Tao nodded; if it was something he could do without going out of his way, he didn’t mind lending Chen Zhuang a hand, and if there indeed were many medications, he could also keep some on hand for himself..
