Xu Zhi didn't care about "absenteeism" at first, it sounded like she couldn't do anything with it, until the next day, Qi Yanxin came home from work with a sad face, and even for several days, her expression became more and more wrong, and even faintly with a trace of panic.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhi asked her with a glass of water in his right hand.

Although she is an unlicensed black doctor, the medicine prescribed is really useful, and although she still can't get out of bed and walk around after eating the medicine as a meal for a few days, at least her hand holding a towel and a water cup will not shake anymore, as if it will be broken in the next second.

It is estimated that after another ten days and half a month, it is not a problem for her to get out of bed and walk around.

It's just that the physical injuries are slowly recovering, but there is still no progress in the transcendental aspect, whenever she tries to absorb the transcendent elements that are free in the air, the meridians in her body will emit pain as if they have been cut by a knife, and the little transcendent ability she inhales will disappear in an instant, as if there is an invisible black hole in her body devouring all the transcendent energy that enters her body.

The seeds of the little xenomorph have not changed at present, Xu Zhi wants to feed it some of her own blood to see if it is useful, but with the clinic, she does not dare to cut a hole in her hand to feed the blood at will.

It's just that I don't know where her knife went, Qi Yanxin probably didn't pick it up, that knife has a special sense with her, and she should be able to know it near her.

Is it somewhere else?

Or was it picked up by other scavengers?

If the knife is there, her own [bloodthirsty] and the ability attached to the knife can make a wave of explosions even if she is weak.

Oh, if only she could get out of bed and walk around, instead of being a wheelchair god of war like she is now.

Qi Yanxin seemed to be a little uneasy, and it took half a beat to realize that Xu Zhi was asking her: "Oh, no, it's just that many workers have suddenly been absent from work in recent days, and everyone is a little worried." ”

Xu Zhi looked at her expression and thought, I'm afraid it's not just worried, maybe there will be people in the factory who are already panicking.

But all of a sudden, a bunch of people were absent from work, and it sounded like something was wrong.

"Did you say anything from the factory?" Xu Zhi rarely gossiped a little.

Qi Yanxin shook his head: "Many people want to enter the factory, just make up for it if they are absent, the factory doesn't care about this." ”

It's true.

It's no wonder that Qi Yanxin showed a sad look on his face, and the surrounding workers suddenly "absent from work" one after another and then there was no news, so everyone has to worry, right?

"You still haven't been going out at night lately." Xu Zhi knew that Qi Yanxin would go out with his pocket to "pick up waste" whenever he was free at night recently, but it seems to be an eventful time recently, so it is better to prioritize his own safety than money.

"However, if you don't go out, the salary of the factory alone is too small."

Those salaries that are enough to support her on weekdays are not enough to treat Xu Zhi, or even a drop in the bucket.

"What should I do if something happens to you outside?" Xu Zhi said something that made her feel a little embarrassed with an expressionless face, she really didn't expect that she would say such a thing one day.

In fact, now, if something really happens to Qi Yanxin, Xu Zhi can also go to the underground clinic to discuss with Dr. Zhuang to let the other party continue to treat himself, the big deal is to let the other party do some experiments on himself, in short, it is not the dilemma that he is very likely to die without Qi Yanxin's help a few days ago.

However, thinking that the woman in front of him had always saved her life, and the efforts of these days were not fake, Xu Zhi finally did not stand idly by, but reminded the other party with words.

Moreover, there are too many unstable factors on Dr. Zhuang's side, Qi Yanxin is still there, and at least he has a relatively stable residence.

"Got it." The woman did not unexpectedly compromise.

"But the money"

"I'll figure it out when I'm better." Xu Zhi interrupted her.

There is no other meaning, it's just that she simply doesn't plan to eat an ordinary person's soft rice all the time, the other party saved herself, and it is natural for her to repay some after she recovers, right?

"What can you do as a little kid?" Qi Yanxin smiled and shook her head, although Xu Zhi's words sounded completely empty checks, but she felt that Xu Zhi said this, somewhat regarded her as a family member, compared to the seemingly easy-going but indifferent attitude before, at least today, she felt that the distance between her and the girl had narrowed.

In the next few days, Qi Yanxin no longer went out at night, and tried to walk with neighbors on the way to work during the day, but even if Xu Zhi went out every day, he could see from Ye Ran's words and Qi Yanxin's expression every day that the situation outside was probably not very good.

Tension builds up in the slums, and as they walk down the street and look at each other, the scavengers wonder if he will be the next to disappear.

Yes, there are more than "absenteeism", more scavengers have suddenly disappeared, as if they have disappeared overnight, and even the bodies cannot be found.

There were no TV shows, and the usual entertainment for scavengers and workers was taverns, gambling, boxing, video games, or other trades, and at most there was a radio, but most of the time it was factory advertisements and which factories were hiring.

It's just that recently, there have been more and more recruitments in the factories on the radio, and it seems that there are many more jobs all of a sudden.

But those who know a little know that it is not that there are more posts, but that the people who were originally on the post have "disappeared".

A week passed quickly, and it was time for Xu Zhi to review it.

Qi Yanxin deliberately asked for leave today, full attendance accounts for a large part of the salary in the black factory, and there is no holiday, once he asks for leave, he will lose full attendance, and Qi Yanxin can't care about the problem of full attendance now.

When she brought Xu Zhi to the clinic, there was still a guest inside.

He seemed to be an old acquaintance with Dr. Zhuang, and the two were talking about something, when they saw Qi Yanxin pushing Xu Zhi in, the guest glanced at it, and then turned his head and continued to say to Dr. Zhuang: "It's not been peaceful recently, and you should pay attention to this small clinic." ”

Dr. Zhuang shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "What about the disappearance of the workers?" I don't run around, I stay in my clinic every day, what else can I do? ”

"It's not."

The guest shook his head: "It's a bigger disparity, you know, I have some way, I heard that there will be an army coming to the plain area recently, it seems to be searching something, and I heard that this is an order from the top." ”

"Wow!" Dr. Zhuang shouted incredulously: "Instructions from above? ”

"How many years has it been since the upper echelons have given us orders? What is this searching? ”

Xu Zhi's head in a cap was lowered, and his expression showed just the right amount of curiosity.

The guest shook his head again: "I don't know, but it's definitely a big deal." ”
