The final gentleman

Listening to the description of the secret medicine, Yi Chen fell into deep thought again.

only,

He wasn't thinking about the concept of secret medicine or doctors or clinics or anything like that;

Instead, he combined the secret medicine with some descriptions and details of this mission, and found a rather strange point.

“Edmund, you said that the raw materials of the secret medicine were taken from [the patient].

Could the fake moon incident that broke out in Vinal City be related to the development of the secret medicine? "

As soon as this statement came out,

Edmund was suddenly startled and put his index finger between his lips.

“William~ You can’t say such things casually.

Moreover, the incident information shown to us by the organization has stated that the open source patient with the patient number [Yuehen] has a concealment ability that exceeds that of the same level.

The "False Moon Incident" broke out suddenly without the local gentlemen or the clinic being aware of it. "

Edmund, who was born into a large family, had been instilled with concepts related to being a gentleman since he was a child, and he had also met [doctors] who visited the family.

He firmly believed in his heart that those doctors who could obtain clinic qualifications must be of high character and would not be directly or indirectly related to such a bad incident.

"I'm just guessing,

After all, you just said that the refining of the secret medicine requires the use of [patients]. "

Edmund also realized that he seemed to be overreacting. He adjusted his sitting posture and explained some situations in the clinic.

"Yes, the core ingredient of the secret medicine does come from the patient.

However, the organization has clear regulations that these patients must come from ‘hunting’.

[Clinic] is, after all, opened by powerful doctors.

Some gentlemen who have graduated from the academy and are stuck in front of the ultimate barrier will choose to apply for clinic apprenticeships to gain corresponding experience. Generally speaking, there are probably more than ten gentleman apprentices in a clinic.

The way the apprentices "pay their tuition" is to "hunt" in the surrounding area and bring back valuable patients for the clinic.

In addition to providing the raw materials for the secret medicine, these hunted patients also have research value themselves and are of great significance to mankind's understanding of [disease]. "

"Well." Yi Chen continued to ask: "Then why does the [clinic] have to be built next to the city?"

"Two reasons,

1. As a special armed department, the clinic itself works with local gentlemen to take charge of city security and provide medical services to the gentlemen passing by.

Moreover, the organization also requires clinics to conduct random sampling at regular intervals to provide free physical examinations for urban residents to eliminate hidden diseases to a greater extent.

2. Based on so many years of experience in fighting [disease], humans are the most susceptible to the effects of disease, and the fastest growing rate of disease development and disease are humans.

It may be directly related to our human self-awareness and desire to explore the unknown.

Therefore, most clinics are opened around cities to ensure the safety of the city and to obtain raw materials as quickly as possible. "

"Understood."

After some exchanges, Yi Chen gained quite a lot.

The six months of special training left him no time to read at all.

He also made up his mind that when the incident was over, he planned to go to the large library between the colleges to obtain more world knowledge.

At this time,

There was a slight commotion on his shoulder, reminding him of his 'friend' who had not shown up for a long time.

"Little Grape, you seem a little excited. 』

"How can this not be exciting?"

We stayed in that damn teaching building for half a year. Although the physical transformation of the boy was a bit interesting, Ben Putao still wanted to come outside and take a look.

My heart is longing for the outside world, for all kinds of new, different colors and unique tastes of 'grapes'.

Fortunately, the task you selected this time is very interesting, and it actually involves [open source].

There are traces of ancient records among my broken memories. If I could taste the ancient grapes from Kaiyuan patients, I don’t know how great it would be. 』

"The incident report given by Zion should not be false. The real culprit of the "False Moon Incident" is dead and we cannot meet him... Besides, even if we do encounter him, will we survive?" 』

"In our current state, we are bound to die, and we will die miserably.

Hey~ You are so boring, I was just imagining it. As long as I can eat diseased grapes related to open source patients during this mission trip, I will be satisfied. 』

"Um,

The grapes of the sick people killed during this mission are all yours.

Since the mission is mainly about search, your visual assistance, Little Putao, is very important. Don't be lazy when the time comes. 』

…

A three-hour drive.

The carriage is about to arrive at the place where the false moon incident occurred - [Vinal City].

The front window of the carriage is open,

The driver wearing a metal mask spoke for the first time:

"As a protective measure for the new gentlemen, I will travel across Vinal City and send you directly to the downstairs of [Twilight Clinic].

Of course, you can also choose to detour through relatively safe suburbs. "

"Just go straight through the city."

The reason why Edmund made this decision is very simple. This kind of carriage can isolate the disease. Even if he encounters a patient hiding in the city, the other party will never be able to catch up.

By crossing the city, we can probably assess the danger level of this mission.

"Then please be careful. Once attacked by a patient, the speed of the car will increase to twice the current speed... Don't be thrown out. I will not stop and wait for any of you."

As he spoke, the carriage officially drove into the city of Vinal,

This sad city that suffered from the "False Moon Incident" has now been reduced to ruins.

Almost every building has signs of damage of varying sizes, and some buildings have completely collapsed, cutting off city roads.

Even though two months have passed since the incident,

You can still smell the rotten smell and fishy smell in the air... coupled with the blood stains on the ground, lampposts or buildings, it seems that you can still hear the screams resounding in the streets and alleys.

It is unimaginable that such a normal city with a population of over 10,000 and gentry stationed and clinics under surveillance could turn into a hell on earth in just one night.

this moment,

Yi Chen deeply tasted the bitterness of [disease], a taste of despair.

Just as he was staring at the moving street scene in trance,

There was a 'spying sensation' coming from the visual window provided by Little Putao.

"Oh, there is something staring at us in the dark. It seems that there are really grapes to eat... But the other party didn't chase us, but just watched us in the dark. It's a pity." 』

Yi Chen's thinking was also pulled back by Xiao Tao.

"Perhaps it's because these guys who were born from the moon have to wait until night to come out to do their activities? 』

“It’s possible, expect these guys to change at night and add delicious flavor to the grapes. 』

During the communication with Xiao Putao, Yi Chen also told the team members about the situation.

Edmund asked: "Can you confirm the quantity?"

"There are no more than three sources of snooping that I can clearly feel, but I cannot rule out some patients that I have not been able to discover, as well as those who are still dormant deep in the ruins."

"Um.

Our main activity area is the [Clinic], and we will try to avoid contact with the city as much as possible. "

After half an hour of fast driving.

The carriage left the city smoothly and followed a winding road to the countryside.

A small hospital-like building with an architectural style similar to that of Zion is being built on a hill here, close to the city of Vinal.

This height allows doctors and apprentices between clinics to have a general view of the urban area.
