Chapter 122: Lighthouse Town
Lighthouse Town, as its name suggests, is built around a long-abandoned lighthouse, but it's actually just two blocks and a block of farmland around the block, plus a grid fence to form a settlement.
However, it is undoubtedly a safe place compared to other settlements scattered around the world, as it is only ten kilometers from the towering wall.
Food, cold, the threat of mutant beasts, the inhabitants of Lighthouse never had to worry about these things. This is the outpost of Evra, a settlement under the patronage of the Iron Sword Knights.
But lately, the atmosphere in the town has been particularly oppressive. The increasingly fierce war between Iron Sword and Silver City has cast a haze over everyone's hearts.
After the catastrophe of 10 years ago, no one likes war, especially when both sides of the war have terrible power.
Looking up at the temperature-regulating lights on the dome, Lawrence didn't feel the usual sleepy warmth.
"Alas......"
Sighing, he stamped his foot and strode towards the only clinic in town. Along the way, the people who met him greeted him warmly.
"Good morning, Dr. Lawrence!" "Dr. Lawrence, my wife was just going to make cheese today, I'll bring you some in the evening!" "Dr. Lawrence, thank you for curing Tommy's illness, God bless you!" ……
As the only doctor in town, Lawrence is certainly respected. In the face of these enthusiastic people, he smiled politely and nodded to them one by one.
Walking around the corner of the street, a girl ran up to him, and Lawrence hurriedly stepped aside to avoid her.
"Ahh
With a scream, the girl reached out and grabbed the wall around the corner and stopped. I saw her holding her knees and panting heavily, her forehead covered with fine sweat.
Lawrence knew the girl, who was a trainee nurse at the clinic and his niece, who had just turned 15.
Seeing several old women across the street pointing at the place, Lawrence sighed inwardly.
He patted the girl's head lightly and whispered, "Angela, didn't I tell you? Girls should pay attention to their image, you can't run wild on the street like a boy! ”
"It's Hank......"
Angela gasped for air, her little face flushed. Lawrence stroked her back, and she relented, and said in a panic: "Uncle Hank has sent two patients, and the situation is very serious!" ”
"Hank's patient? I went to the clinic first! ”
Hearing this, Lawrence's heart tightened, and he strode towards the clinic on the corner.
When he arrived at the small three-story building of the clinic, as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a man with a big belly and a felt hat.
"Lawrence, you're here, Windsor and they're already waiting for you in the emergency room!"
Hank Matthews, the town's most experienced hunter, goes out every week to hunt the herbivorous mutants that aren't too threatening.
Following Lawrence to the emergency room, he spoke: "I found them while patrolling outside the town, both of them were unconscious, they had severe frostbite on their bodies, and one of them had severe trauma to his chest! ”
"Hank," Walking to the door of the emergency room, Lawrence stopped, turned around and pressed Hank's shoulder, stared into the eyes of the enthusiastic man, and said in a deep voice: "There is no more business for you here, you can go home and rest!" ”
"Good...... Well, God bless them! Taking off his felt hat, Hank wiped the sweat from his forehead and watched Lawrence enter the emergency room.
"Give me a brief description of the patient's condition!"
Pushing the door in, Lawrence glanced at the man on the operating table, and with the assistance of the nurse, put on the surgical gown and put on sterile gloves.
"The patient was male, about 25 years old, Asian, with multiple frostbite on his hands and feet, and a large laceration on his chest, which was ...... according to the amount of bleeding."
Listening to the nurse's introduction, Lawrence walked to the operating table, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "High-level enhancer!" ”
Right in front of him, the wounded man on the operating table, the three deep wounds on his chest that were visible to the bone, were slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This inhuman speed of self-healing, he had only seen once by chance, and that was three years ago, Hank sent another unconscious wounded person found in the wild.
An enhancement who has reached the eighth level of evolution, in the territory of Evra, controlled by the Iron Sword, he is respected as a man of the Great Knight by those who come to pick him up.
"It seems that there is no need to do useless work!"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lawrence took off his sterile gloves, turned his head and instructed several nurses, "Send him to the treatment chamber, Windsor, take me to see another patient!" ”
"Follow me, she's in the treatment chamber in Ward 306!"
Windsor twisted her plump buttocks and led Lawrence up to the third floor, and when she walked to the door of the ward, she turned around and said, "It's a young girl, but she has some frostbite on her hands and feet, we have put her in the treatment pod, but ......"
"But what?"
Windsor shook her head, reached out and twisted the doorknob, opened the door to the room, and said, "You better see for yourself." ”
Inside, in the treatment chamber filled with pale green liquid, huddled a girl in only her underwear, her face obscured by her pale blonde hair, her body slender and bony, but faintly visible black lines on her skin.
Lawrence swept his eyes and found a slight wound on the girl's shoulder, and then looked at the information displayed on the screen of the treatment cabin, Lawrence frowned and said, "The amount of D virus in the body is close to the safe limit, and she is still a pregnant woman, which is really a bit dangerous!" ”
"Dr. Lawrence, do you think we're going to put this girl at the mayor's disposal?" Hou at the door of Windsor Road.
Hearing her words, Lawrence's cheeks twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and said in a deep voice: "This is my clinic, no one can take her away from here, I will cure her!" ”
"But ......"
"Humph!"
As soon as Windsor spoke, Lawrence snorted angrily and said, "I said it! This is my clinic! This girl is just close to the safe limit of the D virus in her body, which does not mean that she will definitely mutate! ”
Seeing that he was angry, Windsor didn't dare to say anything more, just sighed deeply and turned around and left the ward.
Walking over and gently closing the door, Lawrence turned to look at the girl in the treatment pod, his fists clenched.
Because of the extra care of the big man Iron Sword, the medical level of this clinic in Lighthouse Town is much higher than that of ordinary settlements, and he knows a solution to the D-virus infection that is fatal to ordinary people.
However, the girl came at a bad time......
