Chapter 370: The grandeur of humanity

Views:

The rainy season in Old Dunling has ended. This gloomy city has welcomed a rare clear sky. The green fields are dotted with dew, reflecting the brilliance of the sky.

Eve paused briefly to take in the incredible beauty.

She had hardly ever left Jiudunling since she was a child. In her memory, the sky seemed to always be gray, with a drizzle falling from time to time.

Although Phoenix Manor is located in the suburbs of Old Dunling, after so many years of expansion, most of the marginal areas of Old Dunling have been swallowed up by the growing city, and the blue sky of Phoenix Manor has also turned the same gray over the years.

Eve was holding the white bed sheet that had just been dried in the sun in her hands, and was in a daze for a long time. She woke up when she heard someone calling her, and she trotted down with the sheet in her arms.

Countless supports were erected above the green fields, with washed and disinfected bed sheets and quilts, as well as some hospital gowns, hanging on them. They fluttered in the wind like dancing flags.

This is Merlin's castle. After the Black Mountain Hospital incident, in order to ease the pressure of accommodation, Merlin generously donated this almost abandoned castle, and it temporarily became a hospital for some patients.

As the chief technical officer of the Perpetual Motion Pump, Merlin is essentially an alchemist. Perhaps because his ideas are different from those of ordinary people, he is not interested in ordinary wealth. When this land was allocated to him, he treated it as a warehouse and seldom came back. Even if he needed it, most of the time it was like a temporary residence.

A few months ago, Lorenzo, Red Falcon and others woke up leisurely in this castle and spent a not-too-long holiday, and now it has welcomed new guests.

Doctors were walking around in the castle, nurses were pushing wheelchairs, there were occasional screams from patients, the stale air was covered with the smell of disinfectant, and Eve could see a group of people cleaning, sweeping away the thick dust in the corners.

Because Merlin used this place as a warehouse, the castle had always maintained a minimum staffing level, and when the doctors from Black Mountain Hospital moved in, they even thought it was abandoned.

Everything was messed up after the incident. Arthur was still in a coma. Eve was at a loss and suddenly remembered the last words Arthur said to her.

Merlin knew his past, so when Arthur was still in a coma and receiving treatment, Eve applied to come here, and after undergoing erosion testing, she became one of the caregivers.

In fact, Eve didn't expect that she would be able to sneak in so easily. In her eyes, this was just a mysterious organization, and everyone in the organization was a bloodthirsty devil. But perhaps because of the revolutionary friendship of having slain monsters together, these people were unexpectedly nice to her.

Eve somehow became a member of this temporary hospital and ran back and forth here for almost half a month.

During this period, she also tried to find Merlin. His office was located on the top of a tower in the castle. Eve heard others call it a museum, but she didn't know why.

As the chief technical officer of the Perpetual Motion Pump, Merlin had been extremely busy in the past half month. He had not had the time to discuss these matters in detail with Eve, and the conversation was finally scheduled for today.
