Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Demons on Earth 1 Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Demons on Earth 1 Medical staff hurried over, with Ji Dong holding Xiaoâai, initially motionless.
From a distance, he noticed a physical altercation at the other end of the corridor, his brow furrowed, and he pulled over a nurse who was responsible for giving injections to the patients.
âExcuse me, could you please look after the child for me? I need to check whatâs happening over there.â
Seeing that he was a military man, the nurse quickly agreed, âOkay, Iâll take care of the little one. Doctor Song has just prescribed her medication, and Iâll give her the injection.â
âThank you.â
As Ji Dong approached, he could hear nothing but a cacophony of noise.
The nurse who had just called for Doctor Song was now supporting a teenage girl. He recognized the girl; she was the one rescued by his sister-in-law and the group captain while fetching supplies to return to the city.
If he remembered correctly, the girlâs name was Bai Qinghuan.
She was delicate and lovely, drenched in blood when they saved her, barely clinging to life.
Ji Dong didnât have a profound impression of her, but he vividly remembered Shen Han who was with herâan individual who could darken the group captainâs face for half a day without uttering a word. Not many could achieve that.
Initially, the group captain had brought the people in, so naturally, there shouldnât be any issues.
Ji Dong stepped forward, trying his best to shield the girl from the finger-pointing, verbal abuse, and occasional physical attacks from others.
Doctor Song, in his forties, struggled to stand in front of the patient, arguing with other patients in the room.
âWe are all patients here, and once inside a hospital, everyone should be treated equally. What are you doing? If you have something to say, canât you talk nicely? This is a hospital, not your home market,â Doctor Song was really infuriated.
âNot everyone is like that little wretch! I donât care! I came here for treatment and paid with food; all the medicine I used was bought with food. Iâm here to get treated, not to catch diseases. I canât stay in the same room as her!â a woman screamed from the doorway of the ward.
Contemptuous eyes fixed on Bai Qinghuan standing behind Doctor Song, who spit viciously.
Doctor Songâs face slightly twisted in anger as he said sternly, âWhat kind of talk is that? You naturally come to a hospital to be treated. Do you think as doctors we would just watch you get infected if the disease is contagious? You feel uncomfortable, and so does she. Canât we all show a little understanding? Beds are in short supply in the hospital right now, which can cause discomfort for everyone.â
Perhaps having spoken too hastily, Doctor Song paused for breath, then continued, âBut donât forget, we are now in the Apocalypse. Does anyone not understand the circumstances outside? Who doesnât have a disease or disaster? We havenât given up on anyone. You have the right to be hospitalized, and so does she. What right do you have to kick someone out of the ward?â
Really, having been a doctor for most of his life, he had seen it all.
The patient, with hands on hips, scoffed, âHa! What rights do I have? Just ask everyone in this room, see who wants her to stay. If thereâs even one who agrees, fine! Iâll pack up and get lost, okay?â
The woman pointed around the room, including all the patients and their relatives, everyone either avoided eye contact, shared the womanâs indignant attitude with determination, or simply looked down, feigned ignorance, and offered no opinion.
Clearly, the womanâs opinion was the opinion of the many.
Doctor Song, rendered speechless by the scene, was furious. He had come over after hearing some news, but he was still unclear why everything that had been fine suddenly turned out like this.
He turned back and whispered to the nurse behind him, âHas there been any change in Bai Qinghuanâs condition recently?â
