Chapter 43

Originally already quite exhausted, Greyaz shook the sweat off his forehead, stuck the shovel he was holding into the ground, and took a long breath. He had finally finished digging, but when he saw Zheng Chen's indifferent reaction, the corner of his mouth twitched. This... still needs to continue, huh?

"Greyaz, you're not going to make me do the body-moving job, right?" Koko Whit saw him looking at her and immediately raised her eyebrows.

"…No." He pulled at the corners of his mouth, speaking with unusual hesitation. He decided to handle it himself.

After everything was done, Zheng Chen stuck the bloody pipe he was holding into the ground and said, "Let's go."

The enemy, to be able to do this much, is already a great act of mercy.

Next is the next stop. Before that, find a place to get treated!

Everyone was injured quite badly in this battle. If they didn't recover quickly, it would be very disadvantageous when the next batch of enemies attacked. Fortunately, there was a well-equipped hospital in the next town...

"Oh! Big-breasted beautiful doctor!" Staring at the sexy female doctor in a low-cut top, Greyaz shouted, but was immediately hit on the back of his head by an angry Koko Whit.

"Shut up!" Koko Whit said weakly, as she was really too exhausted and hadn't fully recovered yet.

"Hmm~ Hospitals are places where noise is forbidden. I'm Siena. Who is more seriously injured? I can take care of you personally."

The female doctor smiled lightly, her gaze lingering on Zheng Chen and Greyaz for a moment. "Who?"

"Uh... the boss." Under Koko Whit's fierce gaze, Greyaz smiled awkwardly. In terms of injuries, Zheng Chen looked more serious, with most of his wounds deep and long, all caused by Guratias' long sword.

"...Many wounds need to be stitched. You go first." Pulling off his shirt, Doctor Siena examined Zheng Chen's injuries, raising her eyebrows slightly. How to put it, she didn't know what to say about the young man in front of her.

With such severe injuries, he was still standing here without changing his expression. If these injuries were left untreated for a while, they would likely worsen. She then checked Greyaz and Lassadi, whose injuries were much lighter.

"Uh, Doctor, Koko Whit and the others..."

"Oh?" Siena examined Koko Whit and Lilia. "They are Holy War Angels, right? It would be better to find a Holy War Angel doctor."

Greyaz's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. "There's actually a Holy War Angel doctor here?"

He knew about Holy War Angel doctors. They were very rare because to treat Holy War Angels, one needed to master special knowledge and medical techniques, most of which were not publicly shared. Therefore, there were no more than ten Holy War Angel doctors.

"There is one. Do you want the address now?"

"Uh... wait a moment. Let's take care of the boss's injuries first." Holding Koko Whit's small hand, Greyaz touched the collar around his neck, feeling a bit guilty.

On one hand, he was worried about Zheng Chen silencing them, and on the other, what if they encountered enemies right after leaving?

"You guys have a really good relationship." Siena laughed lightly, bringing over medical tools. "Take off your shirt. I've already sent someone to buy new clothes in town."

After taking off his shirt, apart from the long, deep wounds, the patterns that were usually hidden on Zheng Chen's body were also exposed. Seeing these fully exposed wounds, Lassadi and the others couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

These were very serious injuries. Even so, Zheng Chen hadn't shown any unusual expressions on the way, making them feel like it wasn't a big deal... But now, it seemed they realized it a bit late. Perhaps he would show signs of fatigue only when he couldn't hold on any longer?

Skillfully cleaning Zheng Chen's wounds, Siena's fingers lightly traced a gray pattern on his back, which didn't look like a tattoo. "Very intricate patterns, natural?"

"No." Zheng Chen turned his head slightly and said indifferently. Siena smiled lightly and didn't ask further, focusing on treating the wounds.

"Do you want anesthesia?"

"No."

Without hesitation, Siena paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I don't know what you have to do, but as a doctor, I need to tell you that it's best to stay in the hospital for a while. You've lost a lot of blood."

"No time."

"Really not cute!" She lightly tapped a small wound on Zheng Chen's shoulder, seeing his expressionless face, she helplessly rubbed her forehead. "Alright, alright. After the stitches, try to move as little as possible... Oh? I see, you brought your own medicine."

Seeing Zheng Chen take out a small medicine box, Siena showed interest. She put down the tools and opened the box to look inside. The ointment inside had been used up a lot, but the medicinal fragrance was still strong, though not intense, just a light, fresh scent.

"This medicine... the maker is very skilled." She praised, even though the composition of the ointment was different from her medical knowledge, she could still see the application of pharmacology. "But this time, it will be used up."

Zheng Chen nodded. If it weren't for the troublesome wounds, he wouldn't have come to the hospital. At least he knew that in this world, medical treatment wasn't as brutal as in the wasteland, where most doctors were more interested in profiting from their patients.

The effect of the medicine takes time. If the wounds weren't stitched beforehand, a slight carelessness could cause them to reopen before they healed, requiring reapplication of the medicine, which he didn't have enough of.

"Since you're so well-prepared, I have nothing more to say. Can I keep the medicine box afterward?"

"Sure."

"Hehe, thanks. The cool guy held on." She smiled, skillfully and quickly stitching Zheng Chen's wounds. The stitches were neat and regular. After handling the wounds that needed stitching, she applied the ointment to Zheng Chen's wounds, being very meticulous and not deliberately conserving the ointment.

"Next is this lady."

"Hey, what about me?" Seeing the doctor ignore him, Greyaz pointed to himself, looking dejected.

"What? Ladies first. Are you sure you want to go first?" Siena smiled, her mood quite good.

"Uh, I'll wait."

Lassadi's injuries were simple, mostly superficial. They were treated quickly. "Rest for two days, and you'll recover. So, the last one is this young man?"

"No funny business!" Koko Whit weakly scolded him, then glared at the cleavage exposed by the doctor's low-cut top, her dejected expression impossible to hide. "No funny business!"

Greyaz felt quite hurt. This lack of trust was really too much. Clearly, they were all men, but Zheng Chen didn't face any questioning, while he...

He couldn't help but look at Zheng Chen, who was now wearing new clothes and had a calm expression. Greyaz pulled at the corners of his mouth. Well, such a person wouldn't be questioned in such a situation... most of the time.

"Let's pretend we were never here."

Leaving, Zheng Chen said to Doctor Siena, who smiled lightly and waved. "Understood."

Zheng Chen's identity... she knew. He was a notorious fugitive recently, but he was far from the vicious criminal described in the news. Well, news is just something to laugh about after reading.

Then, they followed a young nurse named Charlotte to the clinic of a Holy War Angel doctor.

According to the nurse, this doctor had a habit of groping patients, often touching girls' chests or buttocks, claiming to be a victim.

In short, Greyaz was already sweating and looking uneasy, even Lassadi frowned. "Should we go back? Koko Whit is just exhausted. Resting for a while should help her recover..."

"Lilia too!" Lassadi added without hesitation.

Rei couldn't help but show a strange expression. Lucky she was fine? But if she were hurt... would Zheng Chen fight the doctor?

"Too late." Zheng Chen said indifferently. As he spoke, the door behind the nurse opened, and a young man in a white coat and glasses walked out expressionlessly.

"Hi~ Which one of you is my lovely patient?" He glanced at Rei, Lilia, and Koko Whit, then smiled expectantly and kindly. "Or all of you?"

"Uh... I'm even more uneasy." Seeing Rei and Lilia shrink behind their protectors, Greyaz was drenched in sweat. This perverted doctor had a very strong presence!

"Looks weak. Move aside." His kind smile turned cold as he looked at Greyaz, pushing him aside. "Come in~"

"Huh? This one also looks bad. Come in too." He completely ignored the hostile gazes of Lassadi and Greyaz, especially Greyaz...

Well, when treating Holy War Angels, one has to check, right? Like the most important core stone!
