Chapter 92: Chapter 91 "DoctorFor Chen Xin, a medical kit stocked with a complete range of drugs and filled with various medical supplies is precisely what he needs. Although Chen Xin himself also has a medical kit and a field first aid kit, these are just ordinary household medical kits and emergency kits for wilderness survival. Even though Chen Xin tried to stock up with as many kinds as possible of medicines before the disaster, they were basically just some common household medicines like cold medicine and anti-inflammatory pills. It certainly cannot compare to a professional medical kit, especially since the group member providing the medical kit specifically mentioned they would prepare enough drugs and a complete set of basic surgical tools inside. This group member’s former nickname in the survival group was "Doctor," and he indeed works as a doctor, but not in a hospital; he opened his own clinic. When the survival group was discussing what medical survival supplies to prepare, it was he who provided a lot of advice and help from a professional standpoint. Some medicines and medical supplies were also acquired through his connections. Speaking of which, the medicines in Chen Xin’s medical kit were also organized with his help. So when the "Doctor" mentioned he could trade a medical kit with various drugs and basic surgical equipment for an oxygen concentrator from Chen Xin, Chen Xin agreed after only a little consideration. This was actually also related to Chen Xin’s desire to set up a medical room for himself. He had tried to partition off a medical room using his medical kit and first aid kit when he first obtained the Survival System, but obviously, with such rudimentary tools, the system wouldn’t recognize it even if it were omnipotent. Now the "Doctor" says he can provide more professional medical tools, which naturally caught Chen Xin’s attention and interest. If he could use these medical tools to set up the medical room, it would be great news and an improvement in survival quality for Chen Xin. ———————————————— The "Doctor’s" refuge is located in the city’s old town, near Dongting Lake. This area used to be old blocks, which were upgraded and transformed into Jiangnan-style gray-tiled, white-walled structures by the previous Mayor, redeveloping the area into a tourist and commercial street. "Doctor" lived here before the disaster, and his clinic was also located here. His home wasn’t a newly rebuilt house but an old one with a layer of exterior decoration added after renovation. But even so, the original gray tiles and white walls were very nice-looking, though now they’re charred and blackened, looking like ruins. When Chen Xin arrived, the "Doctor" was waiting eagerly. "You, Writer, have finally come!" Seeing Chen Xin appear, the "Doctor" hurriedly greeted him. "Long time no see, Doctor." Chen Xin greeted the "Doctor" and parked his vehicle at the front of his house. The "Doctor’s" house wasn’t as spacious as Chen Xin and Mo Qingyan’s where you could drive the car into the refuge. It was just a small building along the street with a half-basement structure and an additional basement level dug out by him during the previous street renovation, forming the Doctor’s refuge. After removing the oxygen concentrator from the car, the "Doctor" quickly handed over the medical kit he had prepared long ago. Chen Xin opened the medical kit, checked the items inside, and nodded to the "Doctor," indicating there were no issues. Seeing Chen Xin approve of the goods, the "Doctor" called out to his disfigured clinic, and an old man and a young woman came to haul the oxygen concentrator inside together. Behind them, there was also an older woman watching them closely, full of vigilance and suspicion toward Chen Xin. "Who are these people?" Chen Xin frowned slightly; the young woman he recognized, as she was a little nurse who worked at the "Doctor’s" clinic. A very simple girl, but she was from out of town and stayed to work in the city after graduating from medical vocational school here. As for the other elderly couple, Chen Xin had never seen them before, especially since both wore masks and scarves wrapped around their heads, making it hard to identify who they were. The "Doctor," hearing Chen Xin’s inquiry, quickly introduced them: "These are my parents; they used to live in the countryside. I didn’t want them to squeeze into the official refugee centers, so I brought them here." Hearing this, Chen Xin nodded without surprise. It’s only natural to think about one’s own parents and family when there is space and ability. If Chen Xin’s parents were not living back in their hometown in another province, he would have let them stay with him. Chen Xin didn’t worry about his parents, though; he had told them about building a refuge before the disaster and asked them to come back to stay. However, Chen Xin’s parents found it too troublesome to move back and forth, and his relatives in his hometown were all from the same village. The local refuge was also built in that village, so they didn’t come back but stayed with their relatives. Therefore, Chen Xin didn’t find anything strange about the "Doctor" bringing his parents over. But seeing the young woman helping "Doctor’s" father carry the oxygen concentrator, Chen Xin was a little curious why she was there, casting a strange look at the "Doctor." Perceiving Chen Xin’s gaze, the "Doctor" felt embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Xie Chang is alone in this city, and after the disaster, she couldn’t return home, so I kept her here to avoid crowding in the official shelters." "Is that so? Seems like you two plan to be together?" Chen Xin teased the "Doctor" upon seeing his embarrassed expression. It’s not surprising if something developed between Xie Chang, the little nurse, and the "Doctor," especially in this environment where the "Doctor" took her in, and the two getting together wouldn’t be unusual. However, just after Chen Xin said that, the "Doctor’s" mother, who was watching them, harshly commented, "My son will never be with a woman like her! Eating from us, living with us, and now she wants to be my daughter-in-law? No way! She’s just a hired help for our family!" The ’Doctor’s’ mother’s words made Xie Chang freeze involuntarily while moving the stuff. Chen Xin looked at the "Doctor’s" mother with a changed expression. Although her words seemed reasonable, her attitude and speech were really off-putting.
