The uncle's tone was full of envy.

They are different from him. They are young, strong, and have powerful weapons. They are talents who will be valued everywhere.

People like him can only work hard to make ends meet.

The two briefly chatted for a few more words, and then it was time to start work in the afternoon, and they continued to chip away at the ice.

Villa area

Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao slept until noon again. By this time, Gu Yanlin had already finished lunch and started working in the afternoon.

After lunch, Song Zhao pushed his wheelchair and followed Gu Yanzhi out.

Today they plan to go to the hospital here to look for clues.

"Doctor, how is my wife's leg recovering?"

Since they came to the hospital to look for clues, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao put on a show, called a doctor, and asked Gu Yanzhi to check on his leg injury.

"I'm recovering well. I should feel better in a few days." The doctor looked to be in his 50s, and half of his hair was white.

He took a small hammer and tapped Gu Yanzhi's leg, observed it again, and said seriously.

Now that there is no electricity, many equipment in the hospital cannot be used. Most medical treatment can only rely on the experience of doctors, so doctors with a certain age are now very popular in hospitals.

The doctor gave a few more instructions about the recovery of the leg before letting them take the bill to pay.

Maybe because there are few doctors, the fees are very expensive.I just checked my legs briefly and collected 5 kilograms of rice.

"No wonder there are so few people in this hospital." Gu Yanzhi muttered in his heart. "Fortunately, they have enough stock, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to pay for the hospital."

The hospital is located to the west of the Liancheng base, passing through most of the base from the villa area.

The originally bustling base began to become sparsely populated here.The hospital's mediocre first floor looks like it was built in a post-apocalyptic base.You can see the entire hospital from the lobby.

There are only five clinics in the entire hospital, and there are only a few patients waiting for consultation.

The payment room is at the innermost east side of the hospital, on the same side as the five clinics. The other one looks like the inpatient department from the sign at the door.

There were several security personnel on duty guarding the entrance to the corridor.

After Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao paid the consultation fee, they walked out slowly. The hospital was so small that they couldn't see anything wrong just by looking at it.

"That man is here again. How long has he been talking about? When will he stop?" Just after coming out of the payment place, Gu Yanzhi heard the complaints of the two nurses passing by.

"Don't say it, he is quite a pitiful person."

Looking up, there was an unshaven man standing at the registration desk in the middle of the hall, leaning against the window of the registration desk, begging for something with the nurse.

After walking in, Gu Yanzhi heard clearly that the man kept repeating, "Please, please let me take a look at my wife."

"She has been here for half a month and I haven't seen anyone."

The nurses who were coming and going nearby were not surprised and passed by carrying things indifferently.

The nurse on duty inside the window turned a deaf ear and chatted animatedly with the person next to her, as if the person speaking outside was a dummy.

Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao stood in the hall and watched for a while before they saw the man walking away in despair.The nurse on duty glanced at the hospital door where the man had walked out. Among the two nurses on duty, the younger one breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to wipe the non-existent sweat on his head.

He complained, "You're gone now. This guy comes here every day and I don't know when he's going to stop."

"Sister, why don't you let people visit? The ward doesn't let us in," the young nurse asked with a frown on her face.

"I don't know. It's all arranged by the higher ups. It's up to us to do whatever is arranged. Times are hard now, so don't ask too much." The older nurse glared at the young nurse and warned in a low voice.

It's not easy to find a job now. There are not many people in the hospital, and the salary is not low.She didn't want to be implicated,
Not long after they enter the hospital, they will be taught a saying by their seniors, "Don't ask around when you shouldn't ask, don't look, don't listen, don't tell."

The young nurse has just been here for more than half a month. Although she has been warned about this, she still remains curious and can't help but want to complain.

lose this job.

The young nurse's former nurse accidentally complained that the hospital's rules were too strict, and a doctor happened to overhear her.She hadn't seen the nurse since the next day.

It was also because of this that another nurse was brought in.

Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao saw the man leaving and looked at each other. Song Zhao pushed Gu Yanzhi and followed the man's back and walked out.

As soon as they left the hospital, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao were keenly aware of the eyes staring at them from the dark.

Not daring to catch up with the man directly, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao pretended to want to wander around the hospital. They followed the man for a short distance and took note of the direction in which the man went. Then they turned around as if nothing had happened and wandered around the area seriously. got up.

Don't tell me, this stroll is not in vain.

Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao walked along a crowded place and found a small trading market nearby.

There were not many people setting up stalls in the trading market. There were official people guarding the entrance. Looking inside, there were also official people standing guard every few hundred meters to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Song Zhao pushed Gu Yanzhi to the door, but was stopped by the security team at the door.

"Wait a minute, do you want to set up a stall or buy something?"

"Do you have any explanation?" Gu Yanzhi asked.

"The fee for setting up a stall is one pound of rice, and the entrance fee for buying something is half a pound of rice. You can replace it with something of equal value," the security team said, pointing to the sign at the door.

This price is not cheap. Now half a kilogram of rice is almost a two-day ration for an adult man.The people who can get in are rich people who are not short of supplies except those who are anxious about things.

"We need two tickets to buy something." Song Zhao took out a bag of rice from his backpack and handed it over.It happened to be a pound, and it was the tickets for him and Gu Yanzhi.

Knowing that hard currency nowadays is things like rice, flour, and water, I specially carried a large bag with more than 10 kilograms of rice in it before going out.

However, they did not put the rice with good space, but put some moldy rice that they found while collecting supplies in City C.

This is considered pretty good rice in the last days.

“How long does a ticket last?”

"You can come in and out multiple times a day."

"Most of the people setting up stalls are out looking for supplies right now. It's best for you to come at night, when there are many people."

After weighing the rice and checking the quality, I found it was pretty good.The security team member had a smile on his face, tore up two tickets, wrote down the time and date and handed them over.
