Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

Hearing this, Jiang Ye was more stunned than he was. After a few seconds, she smiled helplessly and said, "Then how did you know that?"

"..." Luan Ning opened his mouth in surprise, but was speechless.

Jiang Ye shook his head: "Doctor Luan, a secret is only a secret if it is not told to outsiders. The human heart is a porous wall, it cannot be hidden. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

Luan Ning also sighed, but ultimately didn't say much about it.

Shifting the topic back, Luan Ning said, "If their target is someone who has drunk the nutrient solution, then maybe this matter has not stopped yet."

Jiang Ye nodded: "Indeed, there won't be only this much in a batch of goods."

"It's a pity that they can tell who has drunk the nutrient solution, but we can't screen out the target." Luan Ning sighed, "We are ultimately defenseless."

Jiang Ye was silent for a few seconds, then said, "In the short term, no one who has drunk the nutrient solution will come to the clinic."

Luan Ning was stunned: "Why?"

"Hu Jing and his men have already started to act, so these people probably won't even have the chance to enter the city." Jiang Ye's voice became lighter.

Luan Ning's face gradually turned pale as she spoke, and in the end he smiled bitterly and closed his eyes: "You are right."

Seeing this, Jiang Ye said: "It's not wrong to be out of reach, you..."

"I understand." Luan Ning opened his eyes and smiled at her, his face looking even more tired. "The most important thing now is to protect the clinic and find the seven missing people. I know the importance of this."

Jiang Ye nodded, said no more, and started asking about the three dead people.

Luan Ning did not hide the truth from her: "The deceased were a couple and a single mother. The couple wanted to rob the single mother and her child. After a conflict broke out between the two parties, the single mother and the couple died together."

Jiang Ye was stunned: "Huh?"

What kind of conflict can deteriorate to the point of mutual destruction?

Luan Ning was amused by her appearance, and then he paused and explained, "That couple are superpowers. They just entered the city today, and they often make a living by robbing others. When they entered the city, they targeted this mother and son, but what they didn't expect was that the mother was also a superpower."

Jiang Ye showed an understanding expression.

When people with special abilities fight, problems are likely to arise, especially when they have mutated with special abilities. It is very likely that everything will be over in just a few breaths.

"You just said mother and child..." But Jiang Ye did not miss the details in Luan Ning's words, "There is also a child? And he's still alive?"

"Hmm..." Luan Ning nodded, but a look of hesitation suddenly flashed across his face.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye asked, "Is there anything wrong with that child?"

"I'm not sure, but his pulse is indeed strange."

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow. It was rare for Luan Ning to show such a professional attitude. "Can you tell me about it?"

"Like a superpower, but also like an ordinary person."

Now it was Jiang Ye's turn to be confused: "Can you tell this from the pulse?"

"The pulse of a superpower is quite peculiar. Even if they do nothing, the changes are very frequent." Luan Ning glanced at her. "The more powerful the superpower, the more obvious it is."

"..." Jiang Ye smiled in response.

What else could she say at this point? She couldn't ask whether her pulse changed frequently, could she?

"But Ziye's pulse is stable and calm, and it is an extremely healthy pulse." Luan Ning added.

Jiang Ye was a little confused: "Isn't this... pretty good?"

"But he was obviously frightened, and had injuries all over his body, but his pulse was completely undetectable." Luan Ning pursed her lips, "The symptoms and pulse are totally inconsistent. This pulse is like a deep spring in a mirage."

"……Understood."

Luan Ning could even come up with this kind of metaphor, which showed that this child named "Zi Ye" was indeed weird.

But think about it, she was clearly feeling the pulse of a living person, but no matter how she felt it, it sounded like the pulse of a fake person. If it were her, she might have doubted her own professionalism.

It's really good that Luan Ning can still remain so calm.

"I have checked many times, and the result is always the same. Now I even have some doubts, maybe it's because I'm not skilled enough..." Luan Ning lowered his eyebrows and his voice became a little lower.

Oh, that's too early to praise.

Jiang Ye couldn't catch his breath and coughed softly, "Not really, not really."

Luan Ning was startled by her movement and looked up at her.

"You have saved so many lives with your medical skills, and you have taken so many pulses. Even if you rely on muscle memory, your accuracy should not be too bad." Jiang Ye said with great certainty, "Even if something strange happened today, you should have the right to doubt others."

After being stunned for a moment, Luan Ning laughed out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

"Pulse diagnosis... cannot rely solely on muscle memory, it must be analyzed according to the individual's situation..."

Jiang Ye, a layman, looked blank: "You are right."

Luan Ning smiled faintly again, and her mood became much better.

So the two of them got back to the topic.

Jiang Ye sorted out his thoughts and asked, "What did the child say? Did he say he was a superpower?"

Luan Ning shook his head: "He was terrified. He kept repeating that the couple blocked the road and his mother died protecting him. There was no one else around, and we learned all this from his mumbling."

Jiang Ye frowned and asked again: "How old are you?"

"About fourteen or fifteen years old."

It is understandable that one cannot tell the situation clearly amidst the fear and confusion.

Jiang Ye: "What kind of supernatural power does his mother have? And what is the other party?"

"That's unclear, but there were signs of supernatural powers being used in combat at the scene."

"There's something very strange." Jiang Ye's eyes fell forward, "If this mother has the ability to drag two enemies to death together, then why doesn't she just run away with the child?"

People with children are more concerned, and if there is any possibility, they will not choose to die together.

Jiang Ye's words caught Luan Ning's attention. He thought for two seconds: "Perhaps this mother's ability is not good at escaping."

"It's not impossible." Jiang Ye shrugged, looking serious, "But since you already suspect that this child may have superpowers, you still have to be more careful."

Luan Ning agreed softly: "Okay."

……

That afternoon, Jiang Ye went to the pharmacy as promised.

After seeing Luan Ning's "extra careful" approach, he directly took the little boy named "He Ziye" with him.

A very Luan Ning style of treatment.

Whenever he suspected someone was in danger, he would keep an eye on him. I don't know whether to say that he was too arrogant or too self-reliant.

Jiang Ye complained in his heart, but did not forget to greet He Ziye with a smile. Just as Luan Ning said, he really had no reaction to other people and things.

But Jiang Ye didn't care. She smiled and talked to him for a few words. The boy's eyes were calm and he never looked at her.

A child who survived a life-and-death struggle between several superpowers...

Jiang Ye retracted his gaze and asked Luan Ning: "Are you planning to keep him by your side forever?"

"That's it for now." Luan Ning nodded, "I was the one who made the decision to bring him into the clinic, so I have to take responsibility."

Jiang Ye touched her nose. She couldn't say much in front of the child, so she just said, "The clinic is in chaos recently. You'd better not be alone with him."

Luan Ning understood what she meant and nodded quietly.

Jiang Ye smiled, turned his gaze to the pile of medicinal herbs in the corner, rolled up his sleeves and asked: "Okay, where should I start now?"

It was not the time to sort it out yet, because Jiang Ye found out when she started that even though she had memorized so many medicinal herbs, the things drawn on the picture did not match the real objects.

Jiang Ye felt a little headache and had to ask Luan Ning to help her identify the real medicinal materials step by step.

When she mixed up the herbs for the third time and put them into the wrong basket, a wounded hand reached out to her...
