The Medical Department stated that not only would they dispatch doctors and people with special abilities to various shanty towns, but they would also separate each area, prohibiting influenza patients from different areas from moving around, and cutting off the transmission routes as much as possible.
Lin Tantan was quite surprised.
To do this, the base must have put in a lot of effort. I didn't expect them to be willing to do so. After all, medical resources are precious. Using them to treat rich people may not be enough, and there will be a lot of income. But if they are put into the shanty towns, it is destined not to get much benefit.
She had a bit of respect for the current interim government of the base.
There were many shanty towns of all sizes throughout the base. The Medical Department took over most of them, but there were still some left for Lin Tantan, who readily agreed.
The work lasted until very late that day, and it was dark when we finished. However, this was just a cure for the sickest people in the shantytown, and it was still a long way from a cure. The eyes of those patients made the psychics who left feel heavy-hearted.
Back at the clinic, Lin Tan Tan started to pay salaries to these psychics and bodyguards. She rented a warehouse near the clinic to store the supplies she earned. Now, of course, the salaries are paid with these supplies. On average, two kilograms of food are paid for each patient treated.
This price is about the same as seeing a patient in a clinic. An ordinary patient who is finally cured only has to pay a dozen or twenty kilograms of food. The attending psychic can get 70% of the income, which is divided by the number of times they treat the patient, which is about this price.
However, the clinic was free in the shantytown, which meant that Lin Tantan had no income but had to pay a lot of wages. Watching Qian Feifei and a few others reading out names, checking the number of patients, and weighing and distributing food or other supplies, Lin Tantan estimated how long the existing supplies would last. The answer was two or three days at most.
Xu Tianjin was amazed: "Doctor Lin, you are so generous." Even a wealthy family cannot withstand such a waste.
Lin Tan Tan: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of money going in and out." She didn't care much about the supplies. Ye Xiao had Baicheng in charge, so she didn't have to worry about the speed of collecting supplies. Not to mention that she didn't have any business power now, even if she did, she wouldn't be able to afford it. So for her, it was enough to just maintain her own balance of income and expenditure.
So she decided to expand the scale of the clinic. The new wood-type mutant who came today felt that the cooperation today was a pleasure. Although the individual income was less than that of others who treated rich people, they did not have to please others, worry about all kinds of things, or be cheated. The money was still relatively easy to make. Therefore, when faced with Lin Tan's recruitment, they were all willing to come.
"Then gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will also rent the house next door. We will stay here for the next two days. If it is suitable in the future, we will open branches in other areas." Lin Tantan was also very happy. The more people came, the better. They all made money for her. Although after deducting various expenses, her commission was not much in the end. "We pay wages on a daily basis. There will be no arrears. If you know any wood-type psychics, feel free to call them over. It doesn't matter if their skills are poor, as long as they can heal diseases."
He gave a speech, sent away the wood-type mutants, and paid the bodyguards' wages.
Their wages were much lower. Except for a few team leaders who received a little more, the others received six kilograms of food a day. Today, they only received half a day, which means three days. There were a total of sixty or seventy people, and more than two hundred kilograms of food went out.
Qian Feifei looked at the half-empty warehouse, counted the accounts, and finally said, "Let's talk about it. The salary is too high."
"It's worth the money. These are the people with the best quality. You see, they all obey orders, do things efficiently, and won't cause any trouble. Moreover, each of them has martial arts skills. Those who want to make trouble can be subdued by them in a few moves. Six kilograms of food a day is nothing. Once they can leave the base, they may not even look down on these six kilograms of food." Lin Tan thought that the money was worth spending.
Qian Feifei thought to herself, it has been raining for more than half a month, even if there were still supplies outside, they would have been soaked or flooded. How much supplies would there be
When she thought about the future, she became worried. She wanted to persuade Lin Tantan to save more supplies for herself, but then she felt that it was unnecessary. What she could think of, Lin Tantan could also think of. At worst, there were still those people in the villa. Lin Tantan must have had something in mind if he dared to squander like this.
Lin Tantan was considering where to put Xu Tianjin. She couldn't find a suitable house for the time being. It would definitely not be possible to take him back to the villa. There were nine of them living in the villa now. Qian Kai and Qian Feifei moved out after only two days. She didn't want to take anyone else back.
After much thought, she took the person to Jiang Zhongyi.
Jiang Zhongyi lived in a residential area very close to the villa, on the fifth floor, with three bedrooms and a living room. There were six people living there, all of whom were Jiang Zhongyi's classmates and brothers in life and death. These people managed her clinic during the day, but she didn't need them when she went to the shantytown to talk in the afternoon. They were still inferior to professional bodyguards. They might not be able to withstand the commotion of ordinary patients in the shantytown who were not treated.
When Lin Tan came over, he heard wailing sounds through the door.
Lin Tantan knocked on the door. The man who opened the door was shirtless, with wet hair as if covered in mud and water. He looked listless. After opening the door and seeing Lin Tantan, he almost closed the door again, smiling apologetically and shouting into the house.
Then there was the sound of people rushing back into the house to get dressed.
Lin Tan Tan brought Xu Tianjin in and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?" As soon as they came in, they smelled a smell, a little sour and a little stinky, like the smell of shoes. In short, it was hard to describe.
There were several rows of wet clothes hanging on the balcony. Jiang Zhongyi was using his supernatural powers to dry the clothes. He ran over and asked, "Sister Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Tan Tan introduced Xu Tianjin to him: "... It's too late today, let him stay here for one night." She glanced at Xu Tianjin, and Xu Tianjin quickly put the bag in his hand on the table. It was six vacuum-packed glutinous rice dumplings with meat and egg yolk. They could be eaten after heating. It was a rare good thing nowadays.
Jiang Zhongyi was embarrassed: "Come if you want to. Why bring food? You are Sister Lin's people. You can stay as long as you want. Dongzi, clean up our room and we can sleep on the sofa."
Xu Tianjin hastily refused, but he still couldn't get the better of him. Lin Tan said with a smile, "Just stay in the bedroom. It's only one night anyway. If you feel bad about it, just go and help."
After he said that, Xu Tianjin scratched his head, put down his big backpack, and went into the house to help.
Jiang Zhongyi looked at the bulging bag filled with something unknown, and then looked at the white bucket leaning against it. That was 30 liters of water. My goodness! Although they said that the water supply was limited, a house could only supply 10 kilograms a day. Six grown men, it was not enough!
If they wanted to use extra water, they had to buy it themselves. Fortunately, they all came from Yang City together and had many water systems, so they knew each other. He was also a team leader on the road, so they gave him face and were willing to sell some at a low price. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to buy it even if they were willing to do so.
In this way, they managed to make themselves almost grow hair. Don’t be fooled by their decent appearance in the clinic. They all wore the best clothes, with only their clean faces and hands showing.
Lin Tan Tan motioned for him to step aside and talk: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him go out alone or meet other people alone, and then try to get him to say something, and ask him what he thinks of me."
Jiang Zhongyi was startled: "Is there something wrong with that kid?"
"It's not a problem. He's an old acquaintance, but I haven't seen him for a while. I want to observe him. After thinking about it, I don't feel comfortable leaving this matter to others."
Isn't this just trusting him? Jiang Zhongyi grinned: "Then let him stay here forever."
"Forget it. There are six of you now. It's just tonight."
"What can you observe in one night? Don't worry about it. I will make sure he stays here quietly."
Lin Tan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. As for the rent, I'll give you some water every day."
"Oh, why charge rent?" But he couldn't refuse, they were really short of water.
After finishing her business, Lin Tantan was about to leave. The smell here made her feel uncomfortable. "By the way, why are you all sighing?"
"Hey, aren't we going to move bricks over there this afternoon? Many places there have been damaged by the rain. That's not a job for just anyone. It's best for you to do it with me."
"Then come with me to the shantytown tomorrow afternoon. You can call more people. Those bodyguards get six kilograms of food a day. You are a little worse off than them. Just like in the clinic, you get five kilograms a day."
Jiang Zhongyi was very happy: "Great."
"Take Xu Tianjin to the clinic tomorrow." After Lin Tantan gave the instructions, he said something to Xu Tianjin before leaving.
She looked at the closed door and thought to herself that this was an observation of Xu Tianjin and also a test of him. If he couldn't withstand Jiang Zhongyi's indirect questions, then she would have to reconsider how to deal with him.
The corridor was dark and dirty. Lin Tantan turned on the flashlight and saw a lot of garbage. She walked downstairs without changing her expression, thinking about what Xu Tianjin had said when he came over on the way.
He had deliberately shown himself in front of Zhou Yan, the most prominent one being on the rainstorm day when he insisted on letting Zhou Yan go back to the base. Would Zhou Yan discover anything? And would Xu Tianjin's personality be too different from his original self after traveling here
Besides Xu Tianjin, will there be someone else coming from three hundred years later
Lin Tantan felt a headache when he thought about this. If he had known earlier, he would not use her own name, but directly use the name "Lin Tantan". As long as someone came from her era three hundred years later, it would be hard not to have heard of her name and deeds. She would be a real target.
Fortunately, I didn't show all five systems. Even if someone came to "recognize me as a relative", I would never acknowledge them.
Even if her identity was exposed... She thought about it carefully, there would not be too serious consequences. At most, she would be treated as an alien and arrested to question the direction of history. The only thing she was worried about was that it would be discovered that the apocalypse was accelerated because of her. She would definitely become the target of public criticism. If that happened... At worst, she would leave Ye Xiao.
Walking out of the corridor, looking at the dark night sky, it began to drizzle again. She raised the flashlight to shine on the tiny raindrops falling from the eaves, which looked like salt and feathers, and sighed with regret.
Her heart ached when she thought about having to leave Ye Xiao.
That’s why I don’t want any variables.
She was about to leave when she suddenly saw a dark figure standing in the open space in front of her. He was holding a large umbrella and standing there silently. She didn't know how long he had been standing there, and he almost blended into the night.
Lin Tantan was startled. She shone the flashlight, but it didn't reach that far. However, she still recognized the figure with her sharp eyes: "Ye Xiao!" She ran over and asked, "Why are you here?"
After saying this, she suddenly felt that it sounded very familiar. She seemed to have said similar words more than two or three times. Every time he appeared unexpectedly, and then her mood instantly brightened when she saw him.
Just like now, all the heavy worries flew away, she looked at the man under the umbrella with a smile, Ye Xiao, are you a little angel
Ye Xiao took two steps forward and tilted his umbrella over to take her under it. There were only a few street lamps with limited light around and the light from her hands. Her face was a little blurry, but he still accurately captured the smile on her face and the light in her eyes. He also smiled and said, "It's so late and I saw you haven't come back yet. I was worried and came out to look for you."
"Oh, I see." Lin Tan Tan touched his nose. It was quite late.
Ye Xiao: "Are you done? Can we go now?"
"Okay, let's go, you don't have to come out to look for me in the future, I can't get lost."
"No, the security here is bad. I'm worried about you, a girl." Ye Xiao said.
"I'm not an ordinary girl, and I've reported it and told Brother Bai that I'll be back later." Lin Tantan muttered, shining the flashlight on the road ahead. There were a lot of puddles, so he had to walk carefully.
Ye Xiao glanced at her and tilted the umbrella towards her: "That still makes me worried." After a pause, he added: "Unless -"
Lin Tantan turned to look at him.
Ye Xiao stopped and looked into her eyes, with an unmistakable seriousness in his gaze.
Lin Tantan felt something was wrong, and his heart was lifted. He shuddered for some reason: "Unless, unless what?"
The raindrops hitting the umbrella made a slight sound. The two of them were a little close to each other. Lin Tantan had to look up at her. Ye Xiao covered his eyes slightly. Apart from the solemnity in his expression, more complicated things were hard to see.
They looked at each other for only two seconds. Lin Tan Tan suddenly turned his head and exclaimed, "Ah!": "The rain is getting heavy. Let's go!" Then he walked away.
Ye Xiao stood there for a moment, lowered his eyes, and smiled helplessly.
