Chapter 63 - Another Drinker

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It was almost 11 PM, and Zero was walking on the streets of Angry Reef City. By this time most of the citizens had gone to bed, but the direction of the tavern was still brightly lit. During the turbulent times, there was an extreme shortage of energy sources. Although the Angry Reef City had its own wind power generation facilities, it was not enough to waste energy on city lighting, even if there were street lamps on both sides of the street.

In the darkness of the night, only the rays of light from the searchlights that came from the direction of Ron's company could be seen, occasionally tearing apart the darkness of the night. Most of the light was coming from the dark red radiation clouds in the sky.

With the instructions on the slip of paper, he walked in the direction of Doctor Victor's residence. Angry Reef City was a very rare city on the surface, the radiation that was present everywhere affected the citizens of the city. As they walked, their skin constantly gave off a numb feeling, as if they were responding to radiation. However, for zeros, the amount of radiation on the surface was within the limits of what his body could handle. This had been proven to be true when he woke up two years ago.

However, for others, after being exposed to radiation for a long time, even if the current human's resistance to radiation had greatly increased, it was inevitable that there would be diseases that would cause tissue mutations. Especially in surface cities like the Angry Reef City, the incidence of disease far surpassed the residents of other cities. In this way, doctors with a deep knowledge of genetic and cellular variation will become popular.

However, the western part of the city where Victor was at was already at the edge of the Angry Reef City. No matter how one looked at it, this was not the place for a popular doctor to stay. In this question, zero arrived at the destination.

A three-story apartment was where Doctor Victor lived. The first floor acted as a clinic, and one could see the shadows of medical equipment through the windows and the door. Standing downstairs, he saw that the windows on the second floor were still lit and pressed the doorbell.

After the electronic doorbell let out a bird like cry of joy, a rough voice came from above, "You fellow who disturbed my rest, are you preparing to get your balls smashed by me?!"

Then the door opened, and a double-barreled shotgun burst out of the darkness, pointing at Zero's forehead.

Zero did not move.

After a moment of silence, the shotgun was withdrawn. A slovenly man walked out. He was slightly older than Su Yun, and also slightly younger than Masters. He was around 30 years old with his hair stuck to his forehead after unwashed for who knows how many days. The beard on his chin had obviously not been trimmed for a long time, and was in a mess as well. The man smelled strongly of alcohol, and in fact he was carrying a bottle of whiskey.

With bloodshot eyes looking at Zero, he puffed out a breath of alcohol and said, "Scram, or do you want to eat my bullets?"

He started to close the door.

"Mr. Victor, I was introduced by Masters." Zero said.

Victor's movements paused for a moment, then turned around and said coldly: "Come in, but you only have five minutes."

He walked into the clinic on the first floor. The dim light did not obscure his vision. He could clearly see that whether it was the equipment or the chairs and tables, they were all covered in a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that the clinic had not been in operation for a long time. Victor immediately brought Zero up to the second floor. The second floor was a living room, and the entire hall could only be described as messy.

Discarded bottles and leftover food were piled carelessly on the table, and the mutated cockroaches, which appeared to be fat, were introduced. The furniture had been thrown to who knows where, and the old floor was covered with thin sheets. From the looks of it, Doctor Victor's life was not much better than a homeless person's.

"Doctor Victor, I heard that you are very knowledgeable in the treatment of diseases caused by genes and cells."

Victor threw himself onto a broken sofa in the corner of the hall. He poured the whiskey into his mouth like drinking water and said, "You still have four minutes."

"My wife," he continued, frowning, "has some sort of mutation in her cells. Doctor Victor, I want to ask you to help me. "

Hearing the word "wife", Victor's eyebrows jumped. Then he drank again, and after four or five sips he raised his hand.

Zero saw that his fingers were trembling slightly. This was the result of his long exposure to alcohol. Victor self-deprecatingly said: "Do you see, I am no longer fit to be a doctor. But then again, why do you need my help? With just Masters? I admit that the bastard saved me once, but I have already cured him of his illness, and I have already separated from him. "

"Of course not." Zero revealed his trump card: "I plan to make a fair deal with you."

"What kind of deal?" Victor appeared to be indifferent.

Zero said lightly, "I will help you save your wife who was taken away by the wolves, but you have to promise to treat my woman well. That's fair, isn't it?"

Victor who was completely immersed in the sofa suddenly jumped up. He looked at Zero and sized it up for a moment before smiling. "With just you?"

"With just me!" Zero took out his mercenary license and said, "First of all, I'm a mercenary, and I'm also an Adept. Secondly, I know your situation very well. A company like Ron would never send out troops to mess with a wolf thief's lair for the sake of a commoner like you, while a power like Masters that had a private army, you refused to bid. As for the mercenaries, no one would be willing to take such a risky job. "

Su Yun took a step forward, "That's why you have no other choice, Doctor Victor. As long as you nod your head, there's at least one more chance. Or do you not love your wife at all? "

"Bullshit, no one loves Kaelyn more than me!" Victor panted heavily. After walking a few steps back and forth, he once again fiercely drank a mouthful of wine, and then threw the bottle of wine out. Well, damn it, I promise you that. Transactions. However, can you really save Kaelyn and bring him back? "

"As long as she isn't dead, I will bring her back no matter what!" Zero looked directly into the doctor's eyes, and his eyes softened. "Believe me, Doctor. I love my wife just as much as you do. "

"I believe you." Victor nodded his head, "Tomorrow, bring your wife here. I can give her a preliminary examination first. As for you, go back now. I need to rest. "

The doctor ordered the patient out, knowing that it was to have the strength to treat the patient. He left the clinic, and with his sharp ears, Zero heard Victor's voice that sounded like he was crying and laughing from upstairs. He was the one who told the full details of Victor. Otherwise, Zero would not know what Victor wanted the most right now, and would not have any bargaining chips.

And the price for obtaining these, was to owe Masters a favor. But this was very fair. No matter what era, there was no such thing as a free lunch!

(Today was the first time Xiao Chen had recommended something with a cover page, so they were all excited.) I would like to thank the Lord Dragon Cat for his arrangements and the other brothers for their support. No crap, today at the fourth fragment of the night, I'm begging you to come see me!)
