Chapter 254: 152 Chief Physician (First Update)

After treating the infected, Fang Yuxin followed Fang Yuyang back home. Bai Ye meticulously trailed behind them, claiming he wanted to visit Bai Qianqian. Considering that Bai Ye had helped them earlier and had made a Blood Oath, Fang Yuxin deemed him a relatively reliable partner and thus invited him to dine with them as a gesture of gratitude for his assistance, and to discuss future cooperation.

When they returned to the Fang Family residence, they unexpectedly encountered Zhou Yan. At the time, Zhou Yan was sitting in the living room and stood up upon seeing them, greeting them with a smile, "Captain Fang, Miss Fang, and Mr. Bai." He gave a nod and continued, "I came today specifically to thank Miss Fang. Miss Fang’s treatment of the infected has been a tremendous help to the Safe Zone!"

Fang Yuxin greeted him with a polite smile, invited Bai Ye to sit down, and then found seats for herself and Fang Yuyang. Shang Jinxiu and the others were not in the living room, presumably in the rest area; even Bai Qianqian was absent, which was rare. The living room only housed Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe, who were attending to their guests.

In front of Zhou Yan was a steaming cup of tea, the vapor swirling and the aroma of tea pervading the air. Before the apocalypse, this was a common offering to guests, but afterwards, it became quite a rarity.

Natural water resources had been contaminated, and now the Safe Zone’s drinking water either came from collected bottled and barrelled water or was provided by Water Ability users. With water being scarce and expensive, ordinary survivors dared not waste it; even routine cleaning was done with restraint. For most people, drinking tea had become an extravagant affair.

The Fang Family did not lack water, but the fact that Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe had specially prepared such a cup of tea was not only to accommodate Zhou Yan, but also served to showcase their own power.

And Zhou Yan’s decision to wait there was probably not solely out of gratitude; he likely had other motives.

After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Yuxin simply waited with a smile for Zhou Yan to speak.

In reality, Zhou Yan had not been waiting long. Since Fang Yuxin was absent, he had not revealed the real purpose of his visit. Both Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were shrewd individuals; they seemed extremely courteous on the surface, but their conversation was watertight, giving him no opportunity to exploit.

He was no fool, but being a forthright military man, he preferred straight talk and disliked beating around the bush, falling short of those who were adept at such cunning talk. He initially wanted to wait for Fang Yuxin to speak first so that he could segue into his point, but unexpectedly, Fang Yuxin merely smiled in silence, not taking the bait.

With an inward sigh and a silent chide toward himself, he should have remembered from their several previous encounters that this woman was not easy to deal with. Even Zheng Tianhe hadn’t gained any advantage over her, rendering his own little schemes rather foolish.

He then said, "Captain Fang and Miss Fang also entered the city today, I presume. You must have noticed that the situation is worsening. The number of zombies in the city is growing, and their strength is increasing. Not only are there more people getting injured, but the number of infections is rising as well. Even worse, zombie groups keep appearing near the Safe Zone, and they’re getting bigger and bigger. At this rate, we survivors are in danger."

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang kept silent, maintaining an attitude of ’please, continue.’

Zhou Yan sighed. Knowing these people were tough to handle, he put aside his inner calculations and continued, "Miss Fang’s Healing Ability is truly formidable. To be honest, within the entire Safe Zone, I have yet to encounter a Wood Element Superpower User with healing capabilities superior to Miss Fang’s. The higher-ups hope that Miss Fang could become a physician in the Safe Zone and be responsible for treating the wounded, especially those infected."

After saying this, Zhou Yan discreetly breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly, his heart tensed up again as he calmly, yet anxiously, awaited Fang Yuxin’s response.

Fang Yuxin had anticipated this development. In her dreams, almost all Wood Element Superpower Users had become physicians. Initially, these physicians served ordinary people, but as the superpower users grew stronger and their status elevated, the physicians served only the upper echelons and the powerful figures.

In the early stages, the military held an advantageous position, possessing the greatest strength among the survivors. However, as the zombies and the superpower users’ strengths increased, the effectiveness of conventional firearms diminished, and the military’s status declined, replaced by powerful superpower users as the Safe Zone’s upper echelons.
