Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Under the Camphor Tree

The crisp snapping sound suddenly erupted, startling even those standing nearby, after all, it was the neck.

Once contorted too far, it could cause direct spinal injury, leading to instant death.

If it weren’t for the old man’s good fortune, he probably would’ve died a long time ago in his youth.

After Chen Yu released his grip, all eyes focused on the scene.

Not only was the elderly person completely unharmed, but he also sat there, gently turning his neck as if nothing had happened, occasionally shrugging his shoulders.

“This is so comfortable, I never imagined that after so many years, my neck could still move freely.”

Chen Yu didn’t say much, just stretched his own muscles a bit before continuing to treat the next elderly patient.

Zhou Shengtao had also come to his senses by this time. He had specifically taken time off just to spend quality time with these elderly folks.

Seeing so many of them being cured right before his eyes, he became even more excited.

A few of the elderly people pulled Zhou Shengtao aside when he woke up.

“The young folks these days are getting more and more incredible. Such orthopedic skills would definitely rank as a top-level doctor in a hospital, making a good income in a year. To think he would become our unofficial team member!”

Zhou Shengtao chuckled, “He’s certified to practice medicine, and not only is his medical skill excellent, but his cooking is also delicious. Don’t be fooled by his age; he has participated in several world-class culinary competitions and has been awarded the title of Chef Supreme.”

The elderly folks gathered there gaped in astonishment; they hadn’t expected Chen Yu to be so exceptional.

The elderly people who used to cook for Chen Yu suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

“It turns out he is a Chef Supreme. I really was playing the lute to a cow!”

For the following days, Chen Yu stayed in the nursing home until he had cured all the elders’ ailments.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Shengtao suddenly took him to the back of the nursing home.

Compared to other areas, this one seemed much more desolate, and not far away stood a lone little house on a clear patch of land.

What was puzzling was that the small house was built entirely out of reinforced concrete, with an additional layer of steel rebar welded around it.

There wasn’t a single window to be found on all sides of the house, and the only door, made of iron, could only admit one person at a time, beside which stood various scanning devices.

When Chen Yu saw this scene, his eyes widened in surprise; he hadn’t expected to find such a place in a nursing home.

“Zhou, this looks more like a prison. How can there be such a place in a nursing home?”

Zhou Shengtao sighed helplessly.

“Inside is an old hero, but he suffered a head injury during a mission back in the day, which led to mental disarray; sometimes he goes mad and kills on sight! Besides, there are many enemies outside who want to take him down quickly, so we had no choice but to confine him here in this way.”

Chen Yu nodded and then headed straight for the small iron door.

Zhou Sheng quickly stepped forward to stop him.

“There are many scanning devices outside and numerous traps and weapons set up. If you just walk in like that, the chance of survival is extremely low! I brought you here to ask if there’s anything you can do to treat this kind of condition?”

Chen Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

“Although I’m not sure I can cure him completely, I can still alleviate his condition. Captain Zhou, you can rest assured and leave him to me.”

Zhou Shengtao hesitated for a moment, then opened the heavy door and closely followed Chen Yu inside.

This place was extremely gloomy and terrifying because it never saw sunlight, and being underground, there was always a chilling sensation.
