Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Here comes another one..."

Doctor Yang frowned when he saw the new miner lying on the hospital bed.

Just like a few days ago, the miner was found lying near the mine the next day after he took office. By then, he was already furious and unconscious.

This is the fifth consecutive day that Dr. Yang has been asked to treat such injuries.

——It all started after the Qingyang Gang issued an order to speed up the mining of ores.

Doctor Yang took a peek at the man next to him. He was covered in scars and had a bone nail on his lip, exuding a majestic and fierce look.

It is Hu Guan, one of the leaders of the Qingyang Gang.

"How is it?" Hu Guan said solemnly.

"Broken bones, lacerations, bites from strange creatures..." Doctor Yang carefully listed the injuries on his body one by one, "Same as the previous ones."

Hu Guan nodded, turned and left.

He didn't ask "Can it be cured?" because Hu Guan actually didn't care about it.

He just wanted to confirm whether the source of the injury was the one he knew.

These injured Qingyang Gang members all disappeared while guarding the mine at night and were discovered by miners who were finishing their work at dawn. They often have scars all over their bodies, as if they had a fierce fight with some enemy, but they can't remember anything after they wake up...

That kind of monster has such magical abilities?

Hu Guan couldn't help but become vigilant. This was different from what he had imagined.

Although he believed in his fists, he still felt powerless in the face of such "supernatural" power.

Another thing he didn't expect was that those monsters seemed to be targeting his backbone.

From the mine boss to the supervisor, as well as the team leader, even a personal guard he sent there suffered disaster.

On the contrary, the miners had not been attacked yet and continued to work as if they were unaware.

Hu Guan got some gossip from his friends in the south. It is said that using the blood of untouchables can calm the anger of monsters. This time, in addition to completing the tasks of Fangshi, he stepped up the mining area with the intention of "sacrifice".

He has never seen that kind of monster. People are always afraid of unknown things.

If the problem can be solved with one or two sacrifices, then you can feel more at ease.

It's just that this monster seems to be a bit picky about food.

Most people still look down upon it.

Hu Guan felt that it was very troublesome. Now when the guys in the gang heard that they were going to supervise the mine, they all pretended to be sick and complained. The timid ones even fainted on the spot, as if they were about to be hanged.

However, there have been no real casualties so far.

It seems that the monster is not as scary as it was advertised to be.

It’s all the people in the West District who are too good at it.

Even his men could survive the attack, so they should not be a threat to him.

Hu Guan felt that it was necessary for him to go to the mine in person to see what was going on. If it was really a monster, it would be best to eliminate this threat in advance.

It's not good to always consume the middle-level power of the gang.

The two leaders spent a day or two drinking and drinking without any problems, but if all the management under them collapsed, then no one would really be able to do anything.

You must take the initiative.

If anything happens, it really depends on our Qingyang Gang.

…

"Old doctor, these are the medicinal materials we collected." A young resident put the cloth bag on the table, and the smile he squeezed out seemed a bit flattering and philistine.

Lu Meng has been entrusting the residents of Qingyang Street to find available medicinal materials for some time.

These residents who are responsible for collecting are different from scavengers. They do not need to go deep into the ruins. They just collect some plants that grow occasionally or dig out a few insect nests. Adult insects and insect eggs are both good food sources, and some can also be used. Used as medicine.

It would be even better if you can find insect honey. If you offer it to the leader of the Qingyang Gang, you can get a lot of coins as a reward.

Lu Meng opened the cloth bag, which basically contained some withered roots of plants and shriveled beetle corpses. After grinding these into powder, they could be mixed with water and applied to wounds to speed up recovery.

He also saw a familiar creature.

The rehabilitation fluid is extracted from their bodies.

The vitality of cockroaches is really long-lasting.

In addition, there are other lumpy ores that are also used as trauma medicine.

They all have more or less toxic side effects and are generally not recommended for use on the human body.

But being poisonous often also means being able to kill bacteria. Under limited conditions, wound infection is more likely to kill a human being than chronic poisoning, so one can only choose the lesser of the two evils.

"Well, this is your money."

Lu Meng checked and found that all the medicinal materials met his requirements.

In the past, collectors would deliver the goods individually, but gradually everyone found it troublesome, so they sent a representative to facilitate communication.

At first, some people saw that the old doctor was usually kind, so they opportunistically came up with some ineffective medicinal materials to pass off as fake. They thought that if they were discovered, they would take out good medicinal materials, and if they were not discovered, they would sneak in and make a few extra bucks.

Although identifying medicinal materials can also increase [medical] proficiency, Lu Meng still asked Xiao Huo to teach them a lesson, and then severed cooperation with these people.

He has no interest in playing the "find the differences" game with these people.

After seeing the tough side of the old doctor, no one dared to treat him as a soft persimmon anymore. The medicinal materials handed over since then were all of good quality.

Lu Meng took out 200 coins and handed them to the young man.

"Thank you, old doctor, I'll leave then." The young man said happily.

The price offered by this old doctor was slightly higher than the purchase price of the Qingyang Gang, and the money was given without any deductions. Everyone was happy to send the excess medicinal materials to him.

——The bulk of the collected results must be left to the Qingyang Gang. This is considered a hidden tax. If there is surplus, you can freely use it, keep it for your own use, or sell it to the gang in pieces without interference.

After sending the collector away, Lu Meng was not in a hurry to start grinding the medicine and preparing the medicine.

He had already prepared local medicine for more than 20 people, and combined with cheap bandages, it was enough to supply half of the Qingyang Gang.

But no one came to see the doctor.

Although he continuously used several mine supervisors as sandbags and human shields, and also caused a lot of injuries, none of these people came to him for treatment.

‘They should all go to Qingyang’s doctor. ’ Lu Meng thought.

——Maybe the injury was too serious.

At the critical moment, I still can't believe in my wild approach.

Obviously, his [Medical] level has reached 22, and he is already considered an "old" doctor who has practiced medicine for many years, has rich experience and is skilled in skills.

The serious doctor in the Qingyang Gang may not be as good as me, otherwise he would not be reduced to a small gang in such a large hub station.

Of course, the medical resources that others could call upon were indeed better than mine, so it was understandable that the injured would trust him more.

However, improving medical skills was not Lu Meng’s purpose in the first place.

[Actual combat level: 37→39]

[Melee skill: machete 20 → 26]

These days, he has killed six fog men at night. Not only has the accumulation of practical experience touched the edge of becoming a martial artist, but the progress of his sword skills has also improved by leaps and bounds.

And because he has always been carrying people on his back, even if he didn't encounter an enemy for a fierce fight, just patrolling and circling all night was a constant training of physical strength and muscles, which made Lu Meng's strength go from 22 It has been improved to 26, and the physical fitness has been improved from 21 to 24.

In addition to the results of the special training, Lu Meng also had unexpected gains.
