Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 23 'Clinic'!
"Coming in!"
"It hurts, it hurts, be gentle, be gentle!"
In the basement, in an empty room in the 'Oasis' which was temporarily converted into an infirmary, Astrid was stitching up Goethe's abdominal wound. However, as soon as the needle pierced through Goethe's abdominal muscles, Goethe cried out in pain.
"You are the ruthless man who single-handedly killed Jock VI and then stuffed his intestines back into his own body. Shouldn't you be calm at this time ?"
Astrid couldn't help but say.
"It's different. I can tolerate being shot, but I feel pain when I get an injection or stitches."
Goethe said with a serious face.
Then--
“Hiss, it hurts, it hurts!”
Amid a series of shouts, Astrid put down her needle and thread and looked at Goethe helplessly.
"How about using painkillers?"
The lady suggested again.
"don't want."
“I am weak-willed.”
“It’s hard to give up addictive things.”
Goethe immediately shook his head.
He knew very well that his willpower was not that strong. Once he got involved in something, he would be doomed. So, he had to stay away from it! He had to stay away from it! He had to stay away from it!
Human beings themselves are not creatures with strong willpower!
Even the person who seems to be the most self-disciplined is only facing a higher level of temptation!
And when faced with temptation?
Resistance is just a drop in the bucket.
You may even develop mental demons and fall into an irreversible terrifying situation.
So stay away from it right from the start!
The farther away the better!
Having seen too much Goethe in my hometown, I know this only too well.
Therefore, he will not use painkillers.
Instead, choose the 'pain transfer method'.
Just now he had already begun to imagine more in his mind.
But it hurts so much that it's not enough to just rely on fantasy.
We have to get practical.
"Aestried, go to the audio-visual room and get the fifth videotape from the third row on the second shelf. Also bring the TV and VCR."
Faced with Goethe's order, Astrid was full of confusion.
However, the lady did it anyway.
When the power was turned on, the videotape was inserted, and the pictures and sounds appeared on the TV screen, the lady was stunned.
“High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods…”
"Hurry up! Sew it up!"
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Astrid came to her senses and sped up the stitching.
About five minutes later, the wound that ran through Goethe's entire abdomen was sutured.
Just, sew it up.
It won't make your intestines flow out.
"The rest will be up to Camilla."
The lady said as she wrapped the bandage around her neck.
“Is she reliable?”
Goethe asked.
"Compared to other doctors, she is quite reliable, and she is the best doctor I know. With injuries , I can't think of anyone else other than her who can treat you!"
"not to mention……"
"She's nearby!"
Astrid said as she walked towards the cab.
Goethe did not stop the other party.
He was hurt more than he thought.
Even though his physical fitness was nearly six times that of an average person, injuries to his internal organs were still difficult to heal on their own, not to mention that his intestines were broken into several pieces.
He was still able to walk, which seemed incredible to Astrid.
Goethe adjusted his sitting position, took out the necklace and ring he had taken from the palace of the 'Fortress of Doom', and made a pendulum in no time.
'Is Camilla reliable?'
The pendulum remained motionless.
Goethe thought about it and changed his statement.
"Is Camilla a danger to me?"
The pendulum began to rotate counterclockwise, giving a negative answer.
This made Goethe feel a little relieved.
Then he asked again.
'Is there any [Bloody Honor] nearby?'
This was not the first time Goethe asked this question. Before, Goethe had tried this "time-saving and labor-saving" answer, but the pendulum did not move. But this time was different. As he asked, the pendulum began to rotate clockwise, which made Goethe happy.
"It's probably true that there wasn't any before, or maybe it's because the [Bloody Honor] at the highest point of the 'Doomsday Fortress' affected my divination of other [Bloody Honors]."
"And now there are. It is very likely that the gathered looters are carrying weapons stained with [Bloody Honor]!"
Thinking of this, Goethe immediately used the [Enlightener Type V (Modified Version)] to display a map of the surrounding area.
He began to use the pendulum to divine the approximate location.
Soon, there was a harvest.
It was less than 2 kilometers away from him.
Moreover, according to the self-positioning of [Type V of the Enlightener (modified version)], this distance is still getting closer.
…
'Clinic', white exterior, red cross.
A town with a single powered furnace and 15 rooms.
There were no weapons in the town, even the townspeople did not carry any weapons. The only weapons they relied on were two "Defenders" - but even these two "Defenders" were different from the other "Defenders" in that they were painted white with a red cross on the chest, and the miniguns were hidden behind them.
'There may be death in the clinic, but there is no killing!'
This is what Camilla's father said.
After Camilla took over the 'clinic', she adhered to her father's beliefs - even though her father was shot and killed by a predator who came for treatment.
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"The patient in room 2 needs a blood transfusion!"
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"The patient in room 4 needs surgery!"
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"The patient in room 7 is dying!"
One by one, the nurses ran up to Camilla and spoke with anxious looks.
"The patient in Room 2 asked him to pay more, or he would die."
"The patient in Room 4 asked him to pay more, or he would die."
"Give the patient in room 7 an electric shock. Remember to double the charge!"
Camilla, who was stitching up a patient's broken leg, said without looking up.
The nurses immediately dispersed and did so.
Camilla completed the last step of stitching before straightening up.
"Go to the front desk and pick up the bill."
After saying this, Camilla, who was wearing a white coat, with her golden hair tied up high, and a mask and glasses hiding her real face, raised her arms, and the blood-stained gloves were immediately replaced by the nurse next to her.
The doctor ignored the patient and started walking towards Ward 7.
Camilla never worries that the other party will 'run away'!
Unless the other party doesn’t want to receive treatment next time!
Although the wasteland is chaotic, there is one thing that is universally recognized -
Don't offend the doctor!
Especially a doctor with superb medical skills and no ill intentions!
Coincidentally, Camilla is such a doctor.
Therefore, everyone followed the rules tacitly.
Of course, there are exceptions.
“Ahhhh!”
"Where's the doctor? Where is the doctor?"
"Come and save me!"
A man was being carried in by four or five looters, but the man was screaming loudly and it was unclear where he was injured. Even though he was covered in blood, he looked very scary.
"Please go to the queue..."
Bang!
Before the nurse could finish her words, she was slapped to the ground by the man.
“I’m dying!”
“You made me wait in line!”
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
"I want a doctor!"
The man shouted loudly, and Camilla, who had just entered the ward, came out again and spoke to the nurse.
"Carry him to Ward 13."
"And you guys can go in together."
Camilla said this.
The looters immediately carried the man inside, followed by Camilla.
About a minute later, Camilla came out.
The doctor still held his arms high and allowed the nurse to change his blood-stained gloves. Then he walked towards Ward 7 again, but this time, he was stopped again.
A sturdy man in leather armor stood in front of Camilla.
The other person lowered his head and looked at Camilla with ill intent.
"Please move aside."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Camilla spoke directly.
"You don't know me?"
The sturdy man was stunned.
"Who are you?"
Camilla asked.
"I am the friend of Master Joker. I am the first one to respond to Master Joker's call and declare war on the Fortress of Doom. I am Bazel, the man known as the Desert Butcher!"
The sturdy man gave himself a thumbs up.
“No.”
"Get out of the way."
Camilla said coldly.
"You are making things very difficult for Lord Bazel!"
"Do you want me to scream out what you just did?"
"That doesn't live up to your reputation... Ugh."
"Desert Butcher" Bazel said threateningly, but before he could finish, he felt a chill in his throat, and then he was pushed by Camilla into Room 7.
The moment the door closed, blood began to gush out just as Camilla had calculated.
The nurses in the room were used to it and started to clean up the bodies.
Camilla treated the unconscious plunderer in Ward 7 with an indifferent look on her face.
"He was bleeding badly, and we used up all the blood in the blood bank to treat him - remember to make him pay."
Camilla glanced at the bloodstains on the ground that could not be cleaned up in a short time, made a few more cuts on the predator with a scalpel, and began to sew them up quickly.
"Also, the money for the stitches is included."
Camilla said, raising her arms out of habit.
While the nurse was helping to change gloves, the doctor suddenly asked.
"Who is the 'clown' that idiot just mentioned?"
"I heard that the person who completely provoked this melee is a very scary guy!"
"Besides, he also assassinated Jock VI!"
"Not only Jock VI, but also several commando captains of the 'Fortress of Doom' were killed by him!"
"He also killed several of those famous looters!"
"He's a scary guy anyway!"
The nurses chirped.
At this moment, they were on the edge of the battlefield. They were not very clear about what had happened on the battlefield, but they heard too much information from some plunderers who participated in the melee but were injured and came for treatment.
The most common ones are about Jack the Clown.
There is no doubt that he is a villain!
A villain who enjoys playing with people's hearts and killing others!
and……
It seems that he can also release the demon in his heart and turn into a terrifying wolf to devour others.
The powerful Jock VI was eaten by this demon.
The other side seemed unsatisfied and ate half of King Jock VI's guards.
Rumor has it that the other party is also very interested in smart people, and all 15 people in the research team of the "Doomsday Fortress" had their brains sucked dry.
Such news came from the plunderers one after another.
At first, the nurses were skeptical.
But now, the nurses have become convinced.
Because all the predators who came for treatment said so.
Camilla didn't believe it.
She frowned.
"He's no different from the villains of the past."
The doctor said this and walked out.
But when the door opened, Camilla was stunned.
The 'clinic' which was noisy before was now silent.
Because, there was a man standing in the lobby of the 'clinic'.
A man with a clown-like face painted on his face, his mouth cracked open to reveal a creepy smile, and his eyes were looking around.
Everyone was silent, not daring to make a sound.
Only after Goethe looked away did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Camilla, who had just looked down on Goethe, felt her heart tremble inexplicably when she saw Goethe's crazy face.
Especially when she looked into Goethe's eyes and found that those eyes were so calm, as calm as a lake, without any ripples, her heart beat faster.
That face was clearly one of madness to the extreme.
But why are his eyes so calm?
Why do calmness and madness appear at the same time?
Moreover, the extreme contrast is strangely coordinated.
Someone never seen before.
Someone who has never been imagined.
Suddenly, Camilla panicked.
