I thought she would make some excessive demands, but Bai Jing suddenly bent down and bowed, and said to her very sincerely: "Please teach me how to become a qualified healer. I don't want to see my teammates die but can't do anything about it anymore."
Chen Zhilan was laughed at, "You want to save people?"
"Yes." She answered firmly.
"Okay, in that case, I will take you to see what those infected people who are about to be expelled from the city look like." Chen Zhilan simply packed away the things on the table.
He waved to her and motioned to follow her.
Bai Jing quickly followed her, and after leaving, Chen Zhilan drove her to the East District of Chengdu, where she was about to be exiled. It was not far from the people who were being executed, and you could even occasionally see skulls through the gaps in the buildings.
"Don't look at it. Since you can become a healer, that fate will not belong to you." Chen Zhilan turned the steering wheel, and the group of lonely skulls were left behind.
Bai Jing didn't answer, but Chen Zhilan started talking more: "But I also want to remind you that a commoner who has such a special achievement will..."
"He will become the target of public criticism." She answered.
But these things are not something she can decide alone.
Bai Jing looked at the flowers on the roadside and the pedestrians with happy faces, her expression became more and more serious.
Chen Zhilan glanced at her sideways and said, "Get out of the car, we're here."
The vehicle stopped in front of a huge building. The gray walls were covered with bright vines, like a pair of huge hands shrouding the building. Only the top of the building had four windows, and a sense of depression swept over him.
Bai Jing asked her: "Where is this?"
"You'll find out when you go in."
Chen Zhilan played a riddle with her. When she entered, she used her token to confirm with the machine at the door, then turned around and signaled to her: "Why are you still standing there, follow me."
Bai Jing came back to her senses and quickly caught up with her. The decoration inside the building was very simple, and the walls were rough and had hardly been painted. She could vaguely recognize that it was a material often found in civilian areas: cement.
She hadn't walked a few steps when a heartbreaking shout came from the second floor, scaring her so hard that she stared in that direction.
"Are you scared?" Chen Zhilan walked in front and teased her.
Isn’t this scary?
Bai Jing calmed down and answered with a pale face: "Not afraid."
Chen Zhilan smiled, not wanting to expose her.
The two of them went all the way to the top floor, which was the eighteenth floor.
There are still windows in the corridor here, letting in daylight to drive away the gloomy atmosphere.
Chen Zhilan took out the book she had just used for registration: "32578, 34521, 34522... Well, it should be here."
She found the opposite room and opened the door with her token. The iron door creaked slowly as it was pushed open. Chen Zhilan put on her mask, stood at the threshold and said to Bai Jing, "Come here."
When Bai Jing saw the dark space, he suddenly felt fear in his heart, and finally he bit the bullet and came to the door.
The familiar fishy smell immediately reminded her of the smell on Huo Qi's body, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose: "They haven't mutated, right?"
If so, how could she complete the task?
Chen Zhilan didn't answer, so she had no choice but to go in.
The moment you step into the room, the blue light turns on, and the situation inside the room appears before your eyes.
Is this, is this still a human being?
When Bai Jing saw the three huge glass jars in the room, her eyes widened and she froze.
There was an unknown green liquid in the jar. Three people, no, things that could no longer be called human beings were soaked in it. Their eyeballs were still very active, and they seemed particularly excited about their appearance.
"You are also from the common people's area. If someone in the city was expelled, how could you not know?" Chen Zhilan leaned against the wall, the blue light shining on her body adding a bit of indifference.
Bai Jing pointed at the three monsters that had lost their limbs: "So what's the use of leaving them here?"
It's simply worse than death!
Chen Zhilan leisurely took out a candy from her pocket and opened it in her mouth, "Let me explain to you, why healers have a higher status than others? Because we have to sacrifice our own lives to save people.
If you want to save them now, you have to cut off your own limbs and transplant them into them. "
"Then let's..." Before Bai Jing could finish speaking, an even more shocking scene appeared.
I saw Chen Zhilan biting the candy hard, putting her hand into her mouth and stirring it a few times, and a snow-white tooth appeared in her palm.
"Here, look again." She pulled the corners of her mouth and exposed her teeth.
Bai Jing took a quick glance and saw that there was no bleeding or missing piece.
"So the healer's physique has extremely strong regenerative power?" she asked.
"Yes, quite smart. Similarly, if I had chosen to save your teammate just now, I would have to amputate my right arm and give him my own blood. For a mere sergeant, it is still not worth my while. Do you understand now? "
Bai Jing bit her lips, trying to digest these shocking things, and finally pointed at the jar and said, "Then what are they used for..."
"Well, they were once spiritual beings. After refining the remaining [Essence] in their bodies, they would be sent to the city wall you just saw to hang them up as a deterrent."
Simply... inhumane.
Bai Jing could not imagine that the main city, which he had looked forward to so much, was now more like a devil's cave, eroding people.
Seeing that they were almost shocked, Chen Zhilan tapped her leather shoes on the ground: "They are pretty good. You heard the screams just now. If they violate the rules of the main city, they will be taken away for other research."
"So what do you want to say..."
"Rescuing worthless spiritual beings would violate the new law, so what do you think?"
Bai Jing took a few steps back slightly, then immediately turned around and left.
She really couldn't stay in this damn place for a minute.
Chen Zhilan followed her away with a clear look, standing in the corridor and laughing at her: "I can understand you, after all, who doesn't have the ideal to save others? But remember, this is the end of the world, and it is difficult to protect yourself."
Bai Jing waved her hand: "Where is the bathroom?"
"Turn left at the end of the corridor."
She quickly escaped into the cubicle, and the huge exhaust fan made a loud noise, giving her a headache.
It seems that the main city is not as beautiful as she imagined.
Bai Jing took out the birth and death book and wrote down clearly the names and longevity of the three people before slumping down on the toilet.
Suddenly, the bracelet vibrated a few times. She raised her hand and looked: The mission is completed. Please wait for the next mission instruction. During this period, please do not expose the identity of the healer and stay alive!
Bai Jing looked at the last three words and couldn't be too sarcastic.
It is even more difficult to survive in a main urban area with more rules than outside.
She pressed the flush button and went out to wash her hands before realizing that the corridor was very busy. Chen Zhilan saw her through the crowd and immediately rushed over to hold her wrist: "Hurry up and follow me."
"What's wrong?" Bai Jing was so crowded by the crowd going upstairs that she couldn't even finish her sentence.
Chen Zhilan just put her into the car, stepped on the accelerator and left. When there were few people, she turned off the car and turned to ask Bai Jing: "What did you just do!"
