Chapter 250: Planning to Escape 2
“Your parents have both turned into zombies?”
Fang Chao nodded with a heavy heart. Shi Feng then asked, “Do you know where your parents are? The base is conducting an experiment, and it might be possible to save the zombies. Although there’s no sure bet yet, it’s at least a chance.”
“Really?”
Fang Chao suddenly looked up at Shi Feng, his intense gaze burning Shi Feng, an emotion he couldn’t comprehend.
But looking at Fang Chao, Shi Feng still nodded under his fervent expression, “Really. Just don’t get your hopes too high. Among the zombies treated so far, none have been successfully revived.”
“It, it doesn’t matter, as long as there’s hope, but…”
He thought he had hope, but then he suddenly realized he had no trace of his parents!
His parents had always been ordinary zombies and were long ago thrown out by Fang Zhaohai.
Shi Feng looked at his despairing expression and said, “Don’t worry for now. Tell me the information about the base you’re at, and I’ll see if I can arrange for someone to search along the way. If they can be found, they can be brought back directly.”
Coincidentally, they still needed a large number of zombies for experiments. With the information provided by Fang Chao, they could plan a search route and find his parents along the way.
Fang Chao looked at Shi Feng. He hadn’t expected Shi Feng to be willing to help him find his missing parents, but thinking about what he had concealed, he felt immense torment.
After a long while, Fang Chao slowly looked up and said, “Does the City Lord want those people to escape Hai Cheng on their own?”
Shi Feng stared sharply at Fang Chao. Seeing Shi Feng’s gaze, Fang Chao nervously explained, “Doctor Shi, I, I didn’t mean to speculate on the City Lord’s intentions. I just wanted to say that those people should not be ordinary people. I don’t know how to say it, and I have no evidence. This is all my own guess. If, if…”
Without evidence, how would anyone believe him!
He was too naive. What if Shi Feng thought he was someone with ulterior motives?
He just wanted to remind the City Lord, remind Doctor Shi, that those people were not simple characters, but he had no evidence to prove what he said.
Fang Chao lowered his head, distressed, and remained silent.
After finishing drawing blood, Shi Feng asked, “Are you interested in studying medicine?”
“Wh, what?”
Shi Feng: “As you can see, the hospital is short-handed. If you’re interested, you can stay and be an assistant or something. Once you get the hang of it, you can be responsible for these daily tasks.”
“Can, can I?”
Fang Chao looked at Shi Feng with expectant eyes. Shi Feng nodded under his fervent gaze, “Yes. Your body currently has no major problems except for being a bit weak. If you’re willing, I’ll talk to the Master and let you stay.”
Master?
Fang Chao blinked in confusion. What kind of address was that?
He looked at Doctor Shi, who was about the same age as his grandfather, and couldn’t understand their way of life. But if Doctor Shi and the City Lord liked it, he would still respect Doctor Shi’s interests.
Shi Feng didn’t pay attention to his strange look. After all, in the Magic World, it was normal for Card Slaves to call their masters “Master.”
Even though the body he was currently using was old, the Master was still the Master. This was unchangeable.
Even if he changed bodies in the future, he would still be unable to escape the fate of becoming Sang Chu’s Card Slave, so he was too lazy to think about leaving now.
Seeing that Fang Chao remained silent, Shi Feng said, “If you’re not willing, you can leave now. And open the door, others should have arrived.”
“I, I’m willing, I’m willing!!!”
Fang Chao shouted loudly, afraid that if he spoke any slower, Shi Feng wouldn’t let him study medicine!
Shi Feng was amused by his childish behavior, “Alright, if you’re willing, stay. Go open the door, then stand by my side and watch my actions carefully. After drawing blood from these people, I’ll teach you how to operate tonight.”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm!!!”
Fang Chao quickly stood up and, with uncoordinated steps, went to open the door. The people who had arrived outside were already lined up.
Shi Feng: “Fang Chao, come here. Others, come in one by one.”
Fang Chao: “Master, should I close the door?”
Master?
Shi Feng looked at Fang Chao with slight surprise. He had only agreed to teach him, not to take him as a disciple, right?
But it was fine. The child wasn’t old, so he’d let it be.
“No need, leave it open.”
Fang Chao had just used a little trick. He wanted to solidify his relationship with Shi Feng. He was a very insecure person.
He thought he would be scolded, but he didn’t expect Doctor Shi not only didn’t scold him but also acknowledged it.
This made Fang Chao blush all over, even his ears turning red.
He led the people towards Shi Feng and then stood obediently to the side, too guilty to speak.
In the crowd, people who had been in the same hospital room as Fang Chao were whispering, “What’s going on with Fang Chao?”
“He’s not going to betray us, is he?”
“If he dares to betray us, when we get back to the ward…”
A middle-aged man fiercely made a throat-slitting gesture. The man next to him sneered, “He’s already sucking up to Doctor Shi. Do you think he’ll go back to the ward? Let’s just think about how to leave later!”
“Exactly, always resorting to brute force, no brains!”
It was a wonder that someone with no brains was calling others brainless.
Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t discuss leaving in a place like a ward.
Those who had been examined left. The people from Fang Chao’s ward were at the very back. When it was their turn, they looked at Fang Chao, who was standing to the side, their angry eyes almost bulging out.
Shi Feng stood up with a cold smile, “You do it.”
The group hadn’t reacted yet, not understanding what he was saying.
Seeing Fang Chao standing there dumbfounded, Shi Feng patted his shoulder and said, “You’ve watched for so long, you should know how. I’ll tell you, you do it.”
“Ah?”
Fang Chao was completely stunned. He had no experience! How could he draw blood?
“Doctor Shi, Fang Chao can’t do it!”
“Exactly, he’s never done this before!”
Shi Feng ignored their powerless angry shouts and leaned casually against a nearby instrument, watching Fang Chao.
Seeing that he really wasn’t going to do it, Fang Chao hesitantly sat on the stool, “Then, I’ll do it?”
Shi Feng: “Yes, just to practice.”
Fang Chao blinked, seeming to understand why Shi Feng was doing this.
Was it to help him vent his anger?
He hadn’t expected that Shi Feng, who looked so indifferent, was actually quite kind.
“No, can you even do it? You do it!”
“Exactly, Doctor Shi, drawing blood is a rule set by the City Lord, right? Did you get the City Lord’s permission to do this?”
“That’s right. If he draws it, we won’t draw blood. At worst, we’ll go find the City Lord!”
“Yes, yes, yes, we’ll go find the City Lord to uphold justice for us!”
Sang Chu: “What do you want to find me for?”
Sang Chu and Lin Shao Qing had just come downstairs when they heard the commotion. They walked over and saw that this group of people wanted to find her to uphold justice for them?
Seeing Sang Chu actually arrive, this group of people became so scared they trembled and didn’t dare to speak.
Although they had clamored to find the City Lord to uphold justice, that was just empty talk. Everyone knew that Doctor Shi was more valuable than this group of ordinary people!
Sang Chu looked at these cowards and said to Shi Feng, “If they don’t listen, throw them out. My Hai Cheng doesn’t support trash, let alone troublemaking idiots.”
Shi Feng met Sang Chu’s eyes and instantly understood her intention, quickly saying, “Yes, Master, I’ll arrange for people to throw them out immediately.”
