It was close to 11 p.m. and zero walked on the streets of Nu reef city. At this time, most citizens have gone to bed, and only the direction of the tavern is still brightly lit. In turbulent times, energy is very scarce. Although nujiao city has its own wind power generation facilities, it is not extravagant enough to waste these energy on the lighting of the city, even if there are street lamps on both sides of the street.
In the city at night, only the light of several searchlights from the headquarters of Ron company occasionally tore open the night. What's more, it's the light cast by the dark red radiation clouds in the sky.
Zero still followed the instructions on the note and walked in the direction of Dr. Victor's residence. Nu reef city is a rare surface city. The ubiquitous radiation affects the residents of the city. During zero walking, the skin has always felt numb, which is a response to radiation. Only for zero, the radiation on the surface is within the range that his body can bear. This has been detected and confirmed by zero since he woke up two years ago.
But for others, long-term exposure to radiation, even if people's anti radiation ability is greatly improved, tissue mutation diseases will inevitably occur. In particular, the surface city of anrejiao city has a much higher incidence rate than other urban residents. In this way, doctors with deep research on gene and cell variation will be very popular.
However, Victor's west area is already on the edge of Nu reef city. In any case, this is not a popular place for doctors to stay. In this question, zero comes to the destination.
A three storey independent apartment is Dr. Victor's residence. The first floor of the apartment acts as a clinic, and the shadow of medical equipment can be seen from the doors and windows. Zero stood downstairs and saw that the window on the second floor was still on. Zero pressed the doorbell.
After the electronic doorbell simulated the cheerful cry of birds, a rude voice came from it: "the guy who disturbed my rest, are you ready to be beaten by me!"
With a disorderly sound of footsteps, the door opened, and a Double Barrel Shotgun poked out of the darkness in the door and pointed to zero's forehead.
Zero one doesn't move.
After a moment of silence, the shotgun was taken back. A sloppy man came out. He was older than zero and younger than master. In his thirties or so, his hair stuck to his forehead without washing for many days. It was obvious that his chin beard had not been trimmed for a long time and was tangled in a mess. The man exudes a strong smell of alcohol. In fact, he still has a bottle of whisky in his hand.
With bloodshot eyes looking at zero and a mouthful of wine in his mouth, he said, "go away, or do you want to eat my bullet."
Then he would close the door.
"Mr. Victor, I was introduced by master." zero said faintly.
Victor's action was one of stagnation, then turned around and said coldly, "come in, but you only have five minutes."
Walking into the clinic on the first floor, the dim light can't make the blurred line of sight. He clearly saw that both equipment and tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust. He could see that the clinic had not operated for a long time. Victor took the zero directly to the second floor. The second floor is a living room. The whole hall can only be described as messy.
Scattered wine bottles and leftover meals were piled on the table at random, and then attracted mutated and fat cockroaches. I don't know where the furniture has been lost. The old floor is covered with thin sheets. It seems that Dr. Victor's life is no better than that of a tramp.
"Dr. Victor, I hear you have a lot of research in the treatment of genetic and cellular diseases."
Victor threw himself into a broken sofa in the corner of the hall. He poured whisky into his mouth like drinking water and said, "you have four minutes left."
Zero frowned and continued, "my wife, her cells have some variation. Dr. Victor, I want to ask you to help me."
Victor's eyebrows jumped when he heard the word "wife". Then he began to drink again. After four or five mouthfuls, he raised his hand.
Zero saw his fingers trembling slightly, which was the manifestation of long-term alcohol abuse. Victor said mockingly, "see, I'm no longer worthy of being a doctor. Then again, why do you want me to help? Just master? I admit that this bastard saved me once, but I've cured him, and I'm clear with him."
"Of course not." zero exposed the last card: "I'm going to make a fair deal with you."
"What deal?" Victor looked careless.
"I'll help you save your wife who was robbed by the wolf, and you must promise to cure my woman. It's fair, isn't it?"
Victor, who was trapped in the sofa, suddenly jumped up. He looked at zero, looked at it for a moment, but said with a smile, "it's up to you?"
"With me!" zero took out his mercenary license and said: "First of all, I'm a mercenary and a power. Second, I know your situation very well. Companies like Ron won't send troops for you, a civilian, to smash the nest of wolf thieves, but you can't offer for forces like master with private forces. As for mercenaries, probably no one is willing to take such a risky job."
Zero took a step forward: "so you have no choice, Dr. victor. As long as you nod, there's at least one chance. Or, you don't love your wife at all?"
"Fart, no one loves Caroline more than I do!" Victor gasped. After walking back and forth for a few steps, he took another mouthful of wine, and then threw the bottle out: "this is the last mouthful. Well, damn it, I promise you this... Deal. But can you really save Caroline for me?"
"As long as she's not dead, I'll bring her back anyway!" zero looked straight into the doctor's eyes and his eyes turned soft. "Trust me, doctor. I love my wife too, and that won't be much less than you."
"I believe you." Victor nodded. "Bring your wife here tomorrow. I can give her a preliminary examination first. As for you, go back now. I'm going to rest."
The doctor ordered the guest to leave, knowing that it was to have enough physical strength to treat the patient. He left the clinic, and his sensitive ears made him hear Victor crying and laughing upstairs. Zero thanked Matt from the bottom of his heart. He told Victor all the details, otherwise zero would not know what Victor wants most now, and there would be no bargaining chips.
The price of getting these is that zero owes master a request. But this is fair. No matter what age, there is no free lunch!
