There was an evolved mutant Crown Pear tree there. Su Huan didn't understand the exact situation, but back then quite a few factions were competing for the tree. There were a few minor clashes, and no one knew what agreement was reached to divide it up, after which the Steel Council came out with an expensive Life Potion.
Its value was comparable to cultivating a Tier Two Evolver.
The conductor suspected the source was connected to this tree, so he planned to visit Wangjiang Peak.
After all, he still had a year to live, where wasn't an adventure?
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the medical car was very harmonious. Nurse Yu Yue was cutting canned pear into bite-sized pieces, feeding them to Su Huan with a fork.
Changli County was rich in pears, so inevitably many cans of pears were among Director Xu's supplies carriages.
Li Xiao lay on the adjacent bed, with Miao Qi attending to firearms maintenance beside him.
Of course, receiving medical services came at a cost.
Yu Yue occasionally exchanged sniper insights with Miao Qi across Su Huan.
The two unexpectedly got along well.
The third bed was empty, its occupant was currently sitting beside the fourth bed, meticulously carving spam cans with a military knife. His cutting technique was both intricate and rough.
The hard metal can and spam were sliced into delicate thin slices, which He Jie held up with his knife to Qu Hang's mouth.
The usually gruff man displayed an unusual gentleness, "Eat, why aren't you eating? Since I'm feeding you personally, who else would you want feeding you? My daughter? Or my wife?"
Qu Hang looked at the knife glinting menacingly under the meat slices, his mouth twitched, glancing aside to find Su Huan and Li Xiao watching gleefully, and could only open his mouth helplessly.
Fortunately, He Jie was in control, preventing any bloody mishaps.
Just the metallic-edged spam was really hard to swallow!
"Captain He, you're hurt too, why don't you go back to bed?"
He Jie sneered, instinctively reaching for a cigarette, suddenly remembered that Su Huan had banned it, and had to give up.
It wasn't for the sake of his injuries that the conductor banned it. This guy's injuries had almost healed, staying here entirely because of Qu Hang. Originally it was one pack a day, but since moving in next to Qu Hang, it became three packs a day; his lungs couldn't handle it.
Nearly smoked Qu Hang into becoming jerky, if not for Su Huan's intervention, he would still be enduring He Jie's second-hand smoke.
But trying to send a Tier One Evolver off with second-hand smoke was too difficult, even inhaling something stronger wouldn't help.
Footsteps came down the corridor, and soon the door handle was turned.
"Doctor's rounds."
He Jie plunged the knife into the spam, tossed it onto Qu Hang's bedhead, gave him a warning glance, and quickly jumped back into his own bed.
By the time someone came in, the blanket was already covering him.
