112: Chapter 112 Doctor Saves Lives, Post-Apocalyptic World Teaches Her to Pay the Price
Back to half an hour ago.
Outside Tiangong No. 1.
A man knelt in the mud, his forehead knocking against the ground again and again.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Blood mixed with mud, dripping from his brow bone.
"Mr. Lin! Please, help us!"
"My wife is about to give birth!"
"The child is innocent!"
Behind him, a woman with a large belly lay on a broken door panel, her face terrifyingly pale.
Under the hem of her skirt, blood was already visible.
The survivors in the outer perimeter formed a circle, no one dared to get too close, only daring to whisper in low voices.
"Isn't there a doctor inside Tiangong No. 1? They wouldn't just watch someone die, would they?"
"They have hot pot to eat, but they won't help with a birth?"
Their words were righteous, one after another.
But their feet were steady, not moving an inch.
Fat Dragon was chewing on a cigarette, standing behind the quarantine line, too lazy to even lift his eyelids.
"People die every day."
"We can't manage it all."
The man looked up abruptly, his face covered in blood and mud.
"Fat Dragon, I don't want to go in!"
"Just at the entrance!"
"You have doctors, you have medicine, save her!"
Fat Dragon exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Even if you knocked your head until your brains came out, it wouldn't be up to me."
At the registration desk.
Captain Han Xue watched the woman curled up on the door panel.
She endured for three seconds.
In the end, she still reached for the radio.
"Dr. Su."
"There is a pregnant woman in labor at the outer perimeter, her condition is very poor."
In the infirmary.
Su Muxue was organizing serum records.
During this time, as Xia Qingqiu's proficiency with her Superpower increased, the success rate of the serum also improved significantly.
After hearing Captain Han Xue's words, she closed the file directly.
"I'll be there immediately."
Su Xiaonuan's voice immediately came through the channel.
"Aunt, no."
Su Muxue had already picked up the medical kit.
"Xiaonuan, I am a doctor."
Su Xiaonuan ran to the second floor and blocked the doorway, clutching her tablet tightly.
"Mr. Lin is not here."
"Tiangong No. 1 cannot take risks for one pregnant woman."
She spoke very quickly.
"We can send supplies, provide remote guidance, or find someone at the outer perimeter who knows how to deliver babies."
"But you cannot go out."
Su Muxue looked at her.
"Xiaonuan."
"The person is giving birth right at our door."
"I cannot pretend not to see it."
Su Xiaonuan's lips pressed together tightly.
"You are a doctor, that's true."
"But before Mr. Lin left, he said that everything is to be arranged by me."
Su Muxue frowned.
"I am also your aunt."
As these words fell, Su Xiaonuan's eyes wavered for a moment.
Su Muxue's voice was heavier.
"I don't want you to completely turn into a machine that only executes orders in this apocalypse."
Xia Qingqiu came over, carrying another medical kit.
She pushed up her glasses with her middle finger.
"I'll go together."
"My Superpower is useful."
In the channel, Captain Han Xue also spoke up.
"The area near the entrance was just cleared, the risk is controllable."
Su Xiaonuan was silent.
She was very timid.
She was also very afraid of making mistakes.
She was even more afraid that after Lin Yuan returned, he would see Su Muxue dead outside the door.
But if she forcibly stopped Su Muxue today, a thorn would be planted in Su Muxue's heart.
This rift would be more troublesome than that group of survivors at the door.
Ten seconds later.
She raised her head and glanced at the closed door of Lin Yuan's study.
She lowered the arm that was blocking the way and spoke slowly.
"Captain Han Xue, do not allow any outsiders within three meters of Dr. Su and Teacher Xia."
She paused for a moment.
"If anyone crosses the line, shoot them directly."
"Qin Yumo, Wang Ya, stop your training, stand by at any time."
Su Xiaonuan watched Su Muxue's retreating back, her fingertips sliding across the tablet.
Monitoring windows popped up one after another.
She wasn't fearless.
She just couldn't let others see it.
...
At the main entrance plaza of the outer perimeter.
A folding medical tent was quickly set up.
Su Muxue put on gloves, her voice calm.
"Hot water."
"Sterilize the scissors."
"Teacher Xia, stabilize her heart rate."
Xia Qingqiu's palms lit up with green light, pressing onto the pregnant woman's lower abdomen.
The woman was in so much pain she clawed at the door panel.
"Save me... save my child..."
Captain Han Xue stood three meters away, her gun pointed down, her eyes scanning the crowd.
Lu Yan led men to seal off both sides.
Fat Dragon was cursing.
"Back off, everyone!"
"You don't fear death just to watch the excitement, right?"
The crowd was forced back.
But those pairs of eyes were still staring fixedly at the medical tent.
Time passed second by second.
The woman's screams tore through the night.
Finally.
A baby's cry rang out.
It was very weak.
But it was like a needle, piercing into everyone's heart.
The survivors at the outer perimeter were all stunned.
Some lowered their heads to wipe their eyes.
Some muttered, "It lived."
Xia Qingqiu's face was pale, but she smiled at Su Muxue.
Su Muxue also breathed a sigh of relief.
They both thought that, at least this time, they had defended what a doctor and a teacher should defend.
The new mother weakly turned her head, looking at her child, tears flowing down her temples.
"Thank you... thank you doctor... sorry..."
Su Muxue wiped the sweat for her.
"Don't talk, just survive."
Captain Han Xue saw the survivors' reactions and silently put away her gun.
Perhaps saving them was the right choice this time.
The next second.
The pregnant woman's husband suddenly lunged at Su Muxue.
There was a faint red light on his hands.
If Lin Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize that this person had awakened the same Superpower as Lin Yuan in his previous life, C-level [Physical Enhancement].
At the same time, more than a dozen people rushed out from behind the tent, under the wooden planks, and by the mud pit.
Someone held a knife against Teacher Xia's neck.
Someone grabbed Su Muxue's arm from the side.
Others lifted the baby up, shielding their chests with it.
"Don't move!"
"Whoever moves, I'll kill them!"
Captain Han Xue raised her gun.
Her whole body froze.
Lu Yan's men also raised their guns.
But the knife was already pressed against Su Muxue's neck.
A line of blood seeped out.
The pity on the husband's face was completely gone.
"Lin Yuan went out this morning!"
"Qin Yumo is injured!"
"Lu Yan, don't you talk about loyalty? Do you dare to shoot?"
Another kidnapper pulled at Teacher Xia.
"crystal cores! Weapons! Let us leave the mountain!"
Captain Han Xue looked at the man who had kneed until he bled just a moment ago.
Her throat moved.
For the first time, she hated her own kindness so much.
Su Muxue did not struggle.
She could feel that this man had great strength, and with her meager ancient martial arts ability, even if she countered, it would implicate Teacher Xia.
She looked at the baby on the side.
"Is the child real?"
The man grinned.
"If it wasn't real, would you have come out?"
Teacher Xia's face turned pale.
Lu Yan's voice was very low.
"Let them go."
The kidnapper leader laughed loudly.
"F*** you!"
"I know Lin Yuan cares most about these women!"
"Either take out what we want, or they die!"
"On the road to the afterlife, having these two pretty chicks to keep us company, we brothers won't lose out, and we can enjoy the treatment Lin Yuan gets."
The alloy gate of Tiangong No. 1 opened.
Su Xiaonuan walked out slowly.
She was wearing a neat housekeeper uniform, and there was a faint scent of jasmine on her body.
It was completely out of place with the surrounding environment.
She walked slowly in front of everyone. Lu Yan's men consciously cleared a path for her, but still watched the surroundings vigilantly.
Su Xiaonuan glanced at the blood on Su Muxue's neck.
Then she glanced at Teacher Xia.
"How many crystal cores do you want?"
The kidnapper leader was stunned for a moment.
"Ten!"
Su Xiaonuan nodded.
"Okay."
At this, it wasn't just the kidnappers.
Even the survivors at the outer perimeter went quiet.
The kidnapper leader's eyes turned red.
"Wrong! I meant ten each!"
Su Xiaonuan looked at Fat Dragon.
"Carry the box."
Fat Dragon's mouth twitched.
"Got it."
Two underlings quickly carried over a metal box.
The lid opened.
Gray crystal cores and white crystal cores were piled up under the light; this was the harvest of the zombie hunting squad today, not yet recorded.
The kidnappers' breathing became chaotic.
Su Xiaonuan said calmly.
"Take them and leave."
"Or die."
The kidnapper leader swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Don't try to scare me!"
"You bring the box over yourself!"
Su Xiaonuan didn't say anything, took the box from the two men's hands, but it seemed the crystal cores inside were too heavy, Su Xiaonuan stumbled, and the crystal cores spilled all over the ground.
The kidnapper leader's eyes were fixed on the crystal cores, and the blade moved half an inch away from Su Muxue's neck.
And it was just that half inch.
The accumulated water on the ground moved.
A stream of water rose from the mud, entangling several knives.
At the same second.
A red shadow pounced from the shadows.
Qin Yumo still had bandages wrapped around her shoulder, but her twin blades were so fast only residual light remained.
Puff.
Puff.
The throats of the two hostage-takers split open.
C-level Espers, in front of the rampaging Qin Yumo, couldn't even make a sound.
Su Muxue was pulled back by a hand.
Teacher Xia was knocked down and protected.
Lu Yan pulled the trigger.
Fat Dragon's men pressed forward at the same time.
Three seconds.
More than a dozen kidnappers fell into the mud.
Before the child was dropped, Captain Han Xue rushed up and caught it.
The baby was still crying.
Captain Han Xue held the child, standing in the pool of blood, her arms trembling.
Qin Yumo shook the blood off her blades.
"Satisfying."
Wang Ya's water retreated back into the drainage ditch.
She did not appear.
Leaving only a pile of knives on the ground.
Su Xiaonuan walked past the corpses.
She handed Su Muxue a clean handkerchief.
This little girl, who once didn't even dare to enter the Su Family door, was now standing in the middle of the corpses without even blinking.
"Aunt."
"In Mr. Lin's world, mercy has to be paid for."
"Today, I will pay the price."
"But next time, I hope you remember."
"This is the apocalypse."
"Not your past emergency room."
Su Muxue did not refute.
She just pressed the wound on her neck.
In the control room.
Tang Qiqi was gnawing on a rib.
Seeing this scene, her hand shook, and the rib dropped onto the plate.
"Oh my god."
"Sister Xiaonuan has completely blackened!"
"This is the true full form of the Great Demon King's head housekeeper!"
Liu Qing pushed up her thick glasses.
"Recording saved."
Lin Motong sat in the corner of the sofa, holding a cup of milk.
She watched Su Xiaonuan on the screen.
A dark red color settled in the depths of her eyes.
A moment later, she put down the cup.
Her voice was very soft.
"Not enough."
"For traitors, they shouldn't even be given the chance to choose."
Tang Qiqi turned to look at her.
"Mo Tong, what did you just say?"
Lin Motong did not answer.
She raised her head and looked at Liu Qing, who was sitting to the side.
A strange light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
