I'm more obedient and have better skills!

"S... S-Class?"

"A Perception-type Talent!?"

Shen Qingci also walked over, sweeping her gaze over Qiao Xi with some surprise.

She whispered a reminder to Chen Yu: "It's truly quite rare."

Chen Yu nodded, pulled an invitation card from his pocket, and held it out to Qiao Xi.

"After the mission ends, come with me."

Qiao Xi's breath hitched slightly for a moment, and she replied almost without hesitation: "Okay!"

She decisively reached out to take the card and smiled at Chen Yu: "I'm a surgeon at Sea City Third Hospital. Even without a talent, I'll definitely satisfy your needs!"

Li Mengyao blinked her eyes from the side, looking at the remarkably poised Qiao Xi, then glanced at Chen Yu, muttering quietly: "There's going to be another person on the vehicle..."

Her tone was somewhat complicated, but she didn't dare say more.

Lin Yue was still timidly hiding in the back, just curiously peeking from a distance.

Hearing Qiao Xi's assurance, Chen Yu smiled faintly: "I believe in your value, Dr. Qiao. But don't forget, the prerequisite for getting on the vehicle is surviving past the third day."

Qiao Xi nodded seriously: "I understand..."

Chen Yu said nothing more and turned to leave.

Behind Qiao Xi, the two other girls from her team looked grim.

"Sis... Sis Qiao Xi! You're just going to leave with him like that? Then what about us?! We agreed to stick together!"

"Yeah, Dr. Qiao, if you leave... how are we supposed to survive... we'll be completely in the dark..."

Their voices were kept very low, and as they spoke, they fearfully glanced at Chen Yu's retreating back, afraid of being overheard.

Qiao Xi turned her head and shook it: "We still have to share a room in the villa. Besides, even if I leave the vehicle, it won't be until after the mission ends. What's there to worry about?"

The two girls pressed their lips together; that was indeed the truth.

But they were still somewhat unwilling.

Not far away, Chen Yu walked over to Zhang Longqi and Liu Zixuan: "Dr. Qiao—"

"Here!"

Qiao Xi immediately ran over: "Student Chen Yu, what is it?"

Chen Yu pointed at the two on the ground: "Don't let them die now. They need to survive at least until the third day."

Qiao Xi's gaze swept over the two human torsos on the ground, and her face instantly paled.

As a surgeon, she understood better than anyone what this meant. This wasn't something that could be fixed with bandages—the wounds were too extensive... Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: "Can you do it?"

Qiao Xi swallowed hard: "I... I'll try!"

She quickly retrieved a large medical kit from her personal backpack.

This was likely supplies she had specifically gathered after the apocalypse.

Qiao Xi quickly explained: "Student Chen Yu, in a situation like this, I can only administer high-dose antibiotics intravenously to fight infection, along with intravenous fluid replacement. But..."

"...this can only delay things; it's not a cure. Whether they can hold on until the third day depends on how tough their constitutions are..."

"Do it."

Chen Yu replied with just one word.

"Okay."

Qiao Xi said no more, crouched down, and began working quickly.

Her two teammates finally reacted and hurried forward to assist.

One quickly handed over tourniquets and dressings, while the other helped secure the IV lines. Their movements were professional and deft, clearly both medical professionals.

Chen Yu pulled Li Mengyao aside and whispered: "Pass a note. Tell the Class Monitor and the others on the vehicle to completely empty the public backpack of all items."

Li Mengyao was taken aback at first, but after glancing at the two moaning figures on the ground, she immediately nodded.

Not long after.

The treatment was nearing its end, and the two girls who had just assisted stood up simultaneously.

They were a bit younger than Qiao Xi.

The one on the left had very fair skin and delicate features. She deliberately swept her slightly wavy long hair to one side, revealing her elegantly shaped neck. She turned to Chen Yu, leaning forward slightly, her collar naturally loosening.

"Um... my name is Su Si. I'm an operating room nurse."

The one on the right had an oval face. She looked up at Chen Yu with a sweet voice:

"My name is Zhang Xuele. Although my talent is ordinary, my hands are very skilled—bandaging, massages... if you're tired, you can come to me anytime, for *any* discomfort."

She deliberately emphasized the word "any," staring directly at Chen Yu, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly.

Qiao Xi was still diligently finishing her final tasks, but hearing these words, her fingers trembled slightly, causing Zhang Longqi to howl in pain a few times.

Li Mengyao rolled her eyes outright: "Tch, disgusting. They just want an invitation card..."

Shen Qingci also frowned but didn't say anything.

Lin Yue, in the back corner, watched the two girls, lost in thought.

Chen Yu unceremoniously felt Su Si's chest and then shook his head: "You're not qualified to join my vehicle yet... not up to standard."

Su Si: "?"

Zhang Xuele moved closer, deliberately thrusting her chest out further, her voice becoming even more coquettish: "What about me then? I'm more attentive than her, more obedient, and my skills are better~~"

Chen Yu merely glanced at her and shook his head: "Same. Not qualified."

Zhang Xuele: "..."

Chen Yu pointed at Li Mengyao and the others beside him: "In terms of looks or figure, which of you can compare?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly turned subtle.

Hearing this, Li Mengyao immediately removed the mask from her face.

A bright, charming face was revealed, with fair, translucent skin, exquisite features, and clear, bright eyes.

Su Si and Zhang Xuele were clearly stunned.

No wonder, no wonder she had been wearing a mask all along.

Probably to avoid drawing too much attention.

This girl who had been wearing a mask all this time actually had such an outstanding appearance.

Making their own posturing seem cheap.

Li Mengyao slightly lifted her chin with a touch of pride, her gaze light and dismissive.

As for Shen Qingci on the other side, she didn't even need to make a move.

The two female nurses' faces turned completely pale, their self-esteem shattered.

But Chen Yu suddenly spoke: "Of course, you're not without a chance either..."

Li Mengyao: "?"

What did that mean?

Chen Yu smiled faintly: "Survive these three days well. I'll make a comprehensive assessment."

After saying this, he paid them no further attention and turned to leave.

In fact, the fact that these two girls didn't introduce their talents was already proof enough that their talents were extremely trash, making it absolutely impossible for him to take them in.

But Qiao Xi had just joined. If he let them completely despair, during the next three days of cohabitation and missions, they might become jealous and secretly cause trouble... Giving them a sliver of illusory hope was the best approach.

Su Si and Zhang Xuele watched Chen Yu's retreating back, thanking him repeatedly:

"Thank you, Brother Chen Yu! We'll definitely perform well!"

"Yes! Thank you!"

Qiao Xi stood to the side, taking all of this in.

Chen Yu waved his hand: "Carry these two cripples back to the room."

After saying this.

Li Mengyao and Qiao Xi were the first to step forward and help.

Shen Qingci was a step slower; she still wasn't used to being ordered around, especially by a man.

Lin Yue, meanwhile, hadn't reacted at all, her expression innocent.

Chen Yu then addressed the others: "You all head back first. Even during the day, the main hall isn't safe."

"Okay, okay!"

"We're going back now!"

"Thank you..."

The other survivors nearby quickly nodded, their bodies trembling as they looked at Chen Yu.

After everyone had left.

A slight smile curled at the corner of Chen Yu's mouth: "If this keeps up, I might really become a great demon lord..."
