But he didn’t expect that when he came to the clinic, this old man with eyes on the sky directly sentenced Wang Yuan to death, and after giving him a painkiller shot, he just tied him up and threw him into a corner.
“Why is an old man like me not willing to help?! Wasn’t it me who dealt with the wound? Wasn’t it me who brought out the medicine??”
Old Man Xu was extremely angry, puffing his beard and glaring, refusing to give in even a bit.
The two of them argued so much that the little octopus quietly perked up his ears. He poked out half of his head, looking over curiously—
Although Old Man Xu is a doctor, he is not wearing a white coat. Instead, he is dressed in a worn-out coarse cloth garment that has been washed to a pale color. He hastily tied a white apron around himself, which was stained with blood.
He doesn’t look like a doctor at all, more like a butcher.
Larry was so angry that his face turned red and his neck swelled. If it weren’t for the fact that the other person was the only doctor here and had a high reputation and connections in the supply station, he would have already taken action.
“You’re not saving people at all, you’re just letting them die!”
“Larry! Do you not understand how high his contamination level is?”
Old Man Xu, feeling both anxious and angry, had many more injured patients to attend to and didn’t have time to waste here. He might as well be straightforward with his words.
“If he wasn’t a soldier from the investigation team who diverted the king creature, do you think anyone would allow someone who could potentially turn into an otherworldly creature to stay here? The sentinels outside would have killed him first!”
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell upon the surrounding people.
Because this is indeed the case, if Wang Yuan wasn’t a soldier from the investigation team, perhaps someone would have already suggested cutting off his head before he fully transformed into an otherworldly creature to eliminate any potential threat.
Larry suddenly fell silent. Of course, he’s fully aware of this fact. However, he had previously promised Captain Chen that he would do everything in his power to help.
In addition to that, Larry, in fact, had selfish motives. People like them with low backgrounds might spend their whole lives in this place. However, if he could earn a favor from Captain Chen, perhaps his younger brother could have a chance to join the special investigation team.
At this time, Larry suddenly saw Jon rushing over. He thought the latter was sent by Chen Xinyue, and his guilty conscience just now vanished instantly.

“What about the treatment cabin?! Old Man Xu, I know you acquired a treatment cabin last month. The treatment cabin is clearly empty right now. Why don’t you let him use it?”

But if the treatment cabin is used in conjunction with purifying agents, there is a slim chance that Wang Yuan, who is on the brink of death, could have a glimmer of hope.
Although the attack by the king creature caused significant casualties in the supply station, most of them either died on the spot or were directly infected and turned into otherworldly creatures. Currently, although the clinic is crowded, the majority of patients are those who were injured while escaping.
Therefore, there is no urgent need to activate the treatment cabin.
In Larry’s opinion, this stingy little old man is acting out of self-interest. Because even if the treatment cabin is used, the chances of Wang Yuan surviving are slim, which would be a waste of resources.
For a moment, both sides were locked in a heated argument.
At this moment, Old Man Xu inadvertently glanced in Yuan Ye’s direction. He was suddenly startled, and immediately ran over anxiously, pleasantly surprised.
“Xiaoyuan?”
Old Man Xu seemed to be aware that Yuan Ye didn’t like to be touched, so he cautiously stopped at a distance of two meters. He noticed the gruesome wound on the young man’s left arm and his eyes were filled with distress.
“Your previous injury hasn’t fully healed, why…”
The old man sighed, didn’t finish his sentence and instead looked at him hopefully, and asked tentatively.
“It must have been you last night, right? They said a high-ranking decontamination officer was at the lighthouse…”
“——I’m not a decontamination officer.”
Yuan Ye furrowed his brow and interrupted him directly.
Even so, many eyes still turned in his direction, filled with curiosity, awe, fear, and gratitude… Everyone was looking at Yuan Ye.
When Larry brought Wang Yuan earlier, he had already recounted the story of the decontamination officer who fought against the king creature at the lighthouse. Now, everyone knows about it.
“Oh…oh. Yes, yes, you are not.”
Old Man Xu’s tone was very gentle, even a bit cautious. However, soon his tone became anxious.
“These things are not important. Come with me first. I have already prepared the treatment cabin for you. You are so seriously injured that you need to be treated quickly!”
The old man knew how serious the injury on Yuan Ye’s chest was, and now, with the addition of a new injury, the situation was probably going to be extremely bad.
Old Man Xu has been a doctor for many years. Even though Yuan Ye looked calm now, he could tell at a glance that the young man was barely holding on even while standing.
But Yuan Ye didn’t move. He suddenly glanced sideways, and his gaze passed over the old man to the pallid-faced Chen Xinyue standing behind him.
At the same time, Ye Yunfan also saw Chen Xinyue.
When she disappeared earlier, no one knew where she had gone. But when she reappeared here, she was carrying a small metal box.
The woman seemed to have just arrived in a hurry. She was covered in blood. At first glance, she seemed like she was more severely injured than Yuan Ye. Every step behind her was a trail of bloody footprints
At this moment, Chen Xinyue also looked at Yuan Ye. She didn’t say a word, but her lips were trembling and her eyes were filled with despair and pleading.
Clearly, Captain Chen had heard the argument that had just taken place and also heard what the Old Man Xu had said to Yuan Ye.
The little octopus glanced at Chen Xinyue, then looked up at Yuan Ye, then sighed silently in his heart.
The situation now is quite obvious—
There is only one treatment cabin here, and its owner’s attitude is firm and clear. No one else can have it except for Yuan Ye.
As for Wang Yuan, if the treatment cabin is not used on him, he will definitely die. However, even if it is used, there is no guarantee that he will survive.
Moreover, the former is just an ordinary soldier from the investigation team who has almost been sentenced to death, while the latter is a powerful, gifted person suspected to be a decontamination officer.
Everyone is well aware that the two cannot be compared in any way.
At this moment, even Larry, who was previously indignant and insisted that Old Man Xu should give the treatment pod to Wang Yuan, fell silent.
In terms of gratitude, strength, identity, and even in terms of what the treatment cabin could do, it is very clear that it would be most cost-effective for Yuan Ye to use it.
Ye Yunfan also saw this very clearly.
He had heard many statements about how life is priceless, but when certain things actually happen, there are always some lives that are weighed and evaluated on the scales.
For example, there was once a young university student who died while trying to save an elderly farmer. Many people felt a strong sense of regret and believed that it was not worth it.
Why go and save?
It would have been better if the elderly farmer had died instead. After all, how could he be as valuable as the university student?
Chen Xinyue also understood that Wang Yuan’s value was far less than that of Yuan Ye, especially considering that if it weren’t for Yuan Ye, the three of them would have died last night.
So at this moment, she couldn’t say words of request no matter what. She only felt a sense of drowning helplessness and despair.
The woman’s knees trembled as if they were about to bend down.
But at this moment, Yuan Ye suddenly spoke up.
“I have no interest in that low-level treatment cabin.”
His tone carried a condescending arrogance, which momentarily froze the owner in place.
After saying that, the youth turned around and left, decisively and indifferently.
Ye Yunfan sighed silently—
Such a fool.
Chen Xinyue looked up in disbelief, but all she saw was the figure of the person walking away.
The young man’s back was very straight, just like his knife, carrying a cold sharpness. Only this time, his knife was adorned with a round, bulging black glove.
This time, a pink octopus poked its head out from inside the glove.
Ye Yunfan planned to check this guy’s injury. After all, his mucus seemed to have had some effect before.
So he first climbed along the rope to the handle of the knife, then descended onto the young man’s shoulder, and finally skillfully nestled into his bosom.
As a result, Yuan Ye’s knees suddenly went soft, causing him to stumble for a moment. But he quickly stood firmly, turned to a corner, and disappeared in an instant.
Thank you for the chapter!!
Yuan Ye seems really nice ah!
Pfft, “Jellyfish” Ye is groping around Touch-Averse Yuan so suddenly that knees had become weak for a bit hahaha The interaction between these two are so cute I swear.
