Rayson returned to the west of the city, and on the way he met an acquaintance, the long-bearded old man who had been taken to the settlement by Maurice.

Although he had already taken radiation medicine, he still had a lot of wounds on Rayson's body, so he asked the old man to help deal with it, even if he was a veterinarian, it should be reliable to deal with such a simple thing as trauma.

The old man took Rayson back to his house, where he lived in a corner of the black market, on the first floor of what looked like a small shop, and usually at night he opened the door and went straight to business.

The area of the façade room is not large, and it is full of all kinds of bottles and cans, and common medical equipment. Knowing that Rayson had been to the eastern wilderness of the city, the long-bearded old man quickly took out the needle, drew a little blood from Rayson, and then took out a glass tube filled with the test solution, squeezed Rayson's blood into it, and after shaking for a while, observed the reaction of the test solution.

After a while, the test solution in the glass tube did not change color, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief: "The radiation level in your body has returned to normal levels." Fortunately, you have medicine with you, and if it is a little later, you will have to change even if you don't die. ”

A long-term radiation infection can turn a person into a ghoul, and Rayson is just as glad that he has those radiation pills with him.

Immediately, the old man wondered again: "There are so many places, why do you have to go to the radiation zone to hang around?" Gone sightseeing? ”

Rayson didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing, took off his coat and threw it to the ground, revealing the exoskeleton on his body and the wounds left by the ghoul's sharp teeth: "Yes, please hurry up." ”

The mechanical exoskeleton is mainly connected to the joints of the body, which can be blessed with power, but it cannot protect the whole body like power armor.

The old man didn't seem to have much interest in the exoskeleton on Rayson's body, and took out alcohol and cotton swabs, but after seeing the shape of the wound on Rayson's body, he frowned: "You met a ghoul?" ”

"Hmm." Rayson responded indifferently.

"More than one, right?"

Rayson stopped talking, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"You're lucky, this will get you going. Those guys are irrational, and they often come out in groups, and when they swarm in, even the big guys like the mutants may not be opponents; If you are bitten by them, you will also be contaminated with radiation. Young people, be careful in the future, don't go where you shouldn't. ”

The old man muttered as he disinfected Rayson's wounds. He vaguely smelled what seemed to be a strange sour smell from Rayson, and the coat on the ground smelled the same.

After taking care of the wound, the old man was really curious about the sour smell, so he picked up the coat on the ground and checked it.

Immediately, his face changed suddenly: "This is ...... How can there be bile? ”

Rayson next to him frowned: "Bile? ”

"It's the bile of the mutant, and ghouls are especially sensitive to the smell of this thing! I've seen dozens of ghouls bite a mutant to death before, and when they eat the corpse, they dig out the guts of the mutant first and fight for it, how did you get this thing? ”

The old man's face was full of horror, and he stared at Rayson thoughtfully: "Someone got this thing on you, right?" Who did you meet in the eastern wilderness? How could it be? ”

Rayson silently said that this fact is too difficult to explain. After a moment, he said in a deep voice; "Anyway...... Not a good guy anymore. ”

"Huh...... In these days, the price of being a good person is too great. The old man seemed to laugh and said, "You just want to be a good person that you will be involved in this thing, right?" ”

Rayson was silent for a long time, never answering.

The old man rummaged through a cupboard, and finally took out two expired amoxicillin pills and threw them to Rayson.

Immediately, he said earnestly: "Young man, I want to advise you, if you want to be a good person, you must think clearly about the consequences; If you want to be a bad person, be selfish, be completely selfish, don't always think about saving others, this world can't tolerate the kindness of little people, don't be careless, put your life on the line. ”

Rayson listened, but only smiled bitterly. Good guys, bad guys? He had never thought about it so much, what he had always cared about most was to find Su Ling's whereabouts, and for this, he could do whatever it took to do whatever it takes.

As for rescuing Jiaming and bringing him back to the settlement, and now looking for the baby, it is just a matter of passing for him.

The old man suddenly thought of something, and said to Rayson with a sinking face: "That's right...... The tumor in your brain...... I have a solution, maybe I can cure it. ”

"What's the solution?"

The old man hesitated for a moment before he said: "Let me make it clear to you first, this method, I also just thought of it, I haven't tried it, and there is no guarantee whether it will succeed......

Rayson waved his hand: "If you're going to operate on me, forget it." ”

Before entering the freezer, Rayson had learned about his condition with the doctor, and the tumor in his brain was quite serious, even if he really went to the operating table, the chance of success of the operation was only one percent, and the remaining 99 percent died directly on the operating table.

Rayson never believed in so-called miracles, let alone that it could happen to him. Instead of gambling with his life on this meager possibility, it is better to make good use of the last time and quickly find Su Ling to see her again. Besides, this old man is not a serious doctor, and Rayson does not dare to hand over his head to him.

"It's not surgery, it's ......"

The old man was about to say something, and Saito's voice suddenly came over the radio around Rayson's waist.

"Friend, can you hear me now? Feed? ”

Rayson picked up the radio: "Can you hear me, what's the matter?" ”

"It's good to hear it, please come over right now, right now!"

Saito's tone was very hurried, and he hung up the radio after speaking, not giving Rayson a chance to refuse at all.

Rayson frowned and thought for a moment, then asked the old man, "Do you have any other clothes?" ”

The old man looked at Rayson's exoskeleton, walked to the corner, and took out an overcoat in a bamboo basket in the corner.

"The original owner of this dress is dead, so wear it if you don't mind. I'll give it to you, at no extra charge. ”

"Thanks, old man." Rayson took his coat and took out two pills and slapped them on the table.

"Don't call me old man, if you want to save face, you can call me Professor Kagawa."

A veterinarian who lets others call himself a professor? Rayson couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't bother with him, and turned to leave.

"Huh! Wait a minute! ”

As soon as Rayson walked out of the door, the old man Kagawa stopped him again.

"You said that you and I are from the same era, I believe you, although I don't know why you are still so young, but now you are the same as me, and you will not have a few days to live."

"There aren't many of us anymore. Perhaps, we will also be the last generation of civilized people, and the future human beings will only be more barbaric and more animalistic. ”

"So, let's die less and find a way to live as long as possible, and when those of us who have experienced the old century are all dead, human civilization is estimated to come to an end."

Rayson was silent for a long time, but finally did not answer again, and left on his own.

By the time Raisen arrived at Saito's villa, it was already noon.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the villa, Lei Sen felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the people guarding around him stood straight, their faces were grim, and they did not look like they were usually lazy.

Entering the villa, Rayson saw a stretcher in the corner, and a guy lying covered in bandages and looking like a mummy. Saito and Durant sat in their seats and were arguing fiercely.

Durant's old face turned red: "Not only kill him, but also my loss!" What about my losses? ”

Saito's face turned pale: "If you hadn't slammed the door yourself, and you weren't even willing to invite an escort, would this happen?" City Lord, I don't know how to explain it, don't tell me about your loss! ”

Seeing Rayson, the two stopped arguing for the time being. Saito looked at Rayson's face rather displeased: "Why are you here now?" Why didn't I respond when I called you before? ”

"Sleeping, didn't hear." Rayson was not afraid, and said expressionlessly: "Don't forget, I am not your subordinate, and I have no obligation to be on call." What's the matter with me this time? ”

"Oh...... Yes, you're not mine, I forgot. ”

Saito seemed to forget about the stubble and nodded thoughtfully. Then he said: "It's a little something, don't worry, you wait first." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Sai, Mr. Saito, I'm here! Just confirmed, he really went out of town! ”

A man in a soldier's uniform, out of breath, stumbled twice as he rushed into the villa, and almost fell.

Rayson turned his head to look, and his face suddenly changed.

The person who came was the captain of the soldier who had seen his face in Aretha's hotel.
