Chapter 121. I'm a doctor
Zhou Jinru realized that he and Yanke hadn't run far away, they were still in an abandoned factory, no wonder there were few people here, as for the bar that was still open, it could only be said that the owner was too dedicated.
Walking over with a moving step, Zhou Jinru pushed open the door, the orange light shone on his face, and the bar hall was empty, except for the idle waiter behind the bar, there was no one.
The waiter was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and he was not enthusiastic about the arrival of Zhou Jinru and Yanke, still standing there, wiping the table with a rag casually.
"A room."
Zhou Jinru shouted, he put the Yanke near the door, walked over to look at the indifferent waiter, and the other party pointed to a list posted on the bar.
Theoretically, in addition to the main alcohol business, this bar should also provide a rest room, but what Zhou Jinru saw was that the rest room column on the list was crossed out, and the handwriting was very new, and it seemed that it had just been crossed out for a long time.
"Why?"
Zhou Jinru reached out and took out a few coins and slapped them on the bar, he didn't drink, but some sweet drinks were still okay.
The waiter's eyes were indifferent, with a touch of his palm, he put away a few coins, took out a small wine glass from under the counter, and pushed some turbid liquid in it and pushed it in front of Zhou Jinru.
Zhou Jinru stared at the drink, and when he picked it up, he heard the waiter's deep voice:
"There was an earthquake during the day, and the guest room collapsed, killing several people, and no one has cleaned it up yet."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Zhou Jinru drank it all, and there were still some sweet and sour drinks remaining in his mouth, he turned his head slightly and pointed back: "My friend is injured, he needs a quiet environment and some first-aid medicine, I don't know where to get it now, do you have a way?" ”
As he spoke, he took out a few large-denomination Longmen coins from the jacket pocket of his overalls and put them on the bar, staring at the waiter with a pair of eyes, and the other party was also looking at him vigilantly.
The waiter shook his head slightly: "The working class of St. Aral can't get this. ”
Zhou Jinru grinned and said, "Don't worry, we are all good people." ”
He had been using his talent to observe the waiter's emotions, and it was not until the other party showed unquenchable greed that the deal was half done, and the other half was in the conversation between the two.
According to intelligence, after the invasion of the deep sea in Saint-Martin, a large number of low-level laborers fled from Saint-Martin, and a considerable number of them entered the Rust Belt, but their arrival did not inject vitality into the Rust Belt, but muddied the stagnant waters.
The Rust Belt, which has long played the role of exporting labor, does not provide enough jobs to accommodate the extra people, but it allows the gangs of the alternative official institutions to absorb enough members to strengthen themselves and create more chaos.
The share of the gray industry in the Rust Belt is limited, the cake is so big, the people who squeeze in want to get a share, and the people who originally have the share want to occupy more, so the friction is constant.
The waiter at the bar may not know the changes at the macro level, but what is happening around him is real, so after Zhou Jinru said the sentence "We are all good people", he automatically labeled these two as "outsiders" and "not easy to mess with".
Moreover, the Longmen currency is a foreign currency in the Rust Belt, and it needs to be exchanged for Colombian currency before it can be used, which further confirms their identity.
Out of greed and prudence, the waiter only took one of the Dragon Gate coins, and he glanced behind Zhou Jinru twice, but there was no one at the door.
He quickly left the bar, and two minutes later, he was carrying a suitcase in his hand and opened it in front of Zhou Jinru, which contained some medicines, as well as gauze, and medical alcohol.
Zhou Jinru saw it clearly, he took the suitcase from the waiter's hand, and pushed the remaining two Longmen coins on the bar over: "A room." ”
The waiter poured him a drink.
"Go upstairs and turn left into the third room."
"Thank you."
Zhou Jinru picked up the cup and drank it, took out a small note with his left hand, pressed the money with the cup, pushed it to the waiter, and then carried the Yanke upstairs.
Looking for a room under the faint fluorescent lamp, Yanke said weakly, "What have you been doing with him for so long?" ”
Zhou Jinru said angrily: "I asked him if he would accept Sakaz and sell you for a good price." ”
They walked through the wood-floored hallway, the soles of their shoes clattering, harsh in the silence of the night.
"The third room, this is it."
Squeak.
Pushing open the wooden door panel, Zhou Jinru pulled the drawstring next to the door, and the fluorescent lamp hanging under the ceiling emitted a dim glow, instantly filling the room.
It was an old-fashioned room, with a rotten smell and even the doorknob covered in rust, and Zhou Jinru suspected that he could pull the handle off with a little force.
"It's nice to have these in the Rust Belt, but Kazdale doesn't even have them."
Yanke looked quite satisfied.
Zhou Jinru put him next to the bed and made a gesture to lift his clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Jinru said: "I am a doctor, have you forgotten, I am a research scholar in the field of source stone disease in Kazdale. ”
Yanke waved his hand: "No need, Tallulah's attack didn't hit me head-on, and I'm also an expert in using fire, so this trauma can't do anything to me." ”
Zhou Jinru didn't force it, he saw that there was no big problem with Yanke, so he concentrated on checking the suitcase sold to him by the waiter.
After a moment, he closed the box with a frown and sat down at the table, lost in thought.
After a few seconds, the silence was broken by Yanke's voice: "What did you find?" ”
"There's something I can't figure out yet."
Zhou Jinru raised his head and looked at Yanke, as if asking if I could trust you.
Yan Ke lay on the bed and turned over, supporting his head with his elbows: "Tell me? ”
"This box is from Victoria," Zhou Jinru pressed one hand on the box, "its combination lock style and style are Victorian, but it has been destroyed, and I suspect that the waiter at the bar made it." ”
"The second is the medicine and all kinds of utensils inside, I have learned Victorian, the label on the medicine is not to treat trauma, its real effect is to deal with a heart attack, and its real value is enough to buy a few small bars like this."
"It's already strange that drugs and medical equipment of such value appear in a small bar, and I deduce that the earthquake during the day disrupted some plan and caused an accident to the people who live here, so that now this box is in my hands, and those who really need it will soon come to the door, after all, St. Aral is so big, after all, the person who really controls it has absolute power."
