"Forget it, if you wanna die, go die, I only save you once anyway. This medicine costs a hundred points, bit pricey, but you have no objections, right?"
"None."
"Totaling up, it's 102 altogether, but you have only seventy-two cents, I deducted it, but you still owe me 101.28 contribution points."
"I'll work hard to pay it back. Give me the IOU!"
...
Ren Zhong handwrote a slip and handed it over.
Ren Zhong used simplified Chinese characters.
He wasn't worried about the characters being different because the "Miracle Clinic" sign also used simplified Chinese, only the writing was crooked, like a kid's doodle.
Sun Miao took it, glanced quickly, raised an eyebrow, "Wow, didn't expect a broke guy like you to have such nice handwriting."
"It's nothing, nothing, anyway, thank you."
"I already said no thanks! I've explained everything I need to. If there's nothing else, hurry and scram, I'm about to sleep."
Professor Sun said, waving his hands like driving away a guest, muttering to himself, "Damn, had to take out my bottom-of-the-box stuff and need to restock later, really don't wanna deal with those lunatics again."
Ren Zhong perked his ears at the words.
Element detected.
There are a bunch of lunatics Sun Miao doesn't want to deal with?
Without a doubt, it must be the producers of the Abnormal Cell Eater, who have mastered high-level biotechnology.
Are they people from within the town? Or outsiders?
Why does Sun Miao think they're lunatics and want to avoid them?
"Why haven't you left yet? I'm warning you, once I lie in my sleep capsule, the automatic defense system will be on. If you get swept to death, it's a small matter, but don't cost me dearly! Go, go, go! Hurry!"
Over there, Sun Miao had already lifted the lid of a roughly two-meter-long capsule-like alloy structure like opening a rice cooker, lay inside, glaring angrily in Ren Zhong's direction.
Ren Zhong hurriedly left.
Continue element detection.
A sleep capsule made of metal? An automatic defense system?
In this world, is sleeping dangerous? From external threats?
This incidentally explains why the wilderness people head to collective sleep capsules at night.
Exiting the Miracle Clinic, Ren Zhong checked the wrist watch, only ten minutes left to the agreed time with Zheng Tian, he hurriedly walked toward the town center.
While walking on the road, he opened the brown bottle, using a finger to scoop out two chunks of Nutritional Ointment that looked similar to black sesame balls.
After ingesting the stuff, he felt a slight warmth, his previously tired body suddenly became much more energized.
Ren Zhong walked briskly with buoyant steps.
He looked up and gazed at the bright dual moons in the sky.
One large, one small, one slow, one fast, one silver, one white.
The silver was bright, the white was gentle.
Slight thin clouds drifted slowly across the night sky, like a fairyland painting.
For the first time in a long while, Ren Zhong felt the night sky so beautiful.
Finally, I survived.
Ren Zhong slightly clenched his fist.
Thank you, Doctor Sun.
You are a good person.
