636 Doctor Sun (2/2)
”Yes.”
”You don't have to purposely get high to see me. Medicine is scarce in the wasteland. Even if your employer is rich, it's shameful to waste.” Doctor Sun tossed his notebook to the side. ”Now, explain your intentions.”
Zhao Baodong sighed reluctantly, knowing his cover was blown. ”Aren't you going to prescribe medicine for me first?”
A Jet Stopper was thrown into his lap.
Zhao Baodong flipped over to see the price tag, and his eyebrows twitched.
200 crystals.
This guy prescribed him the most expensive medicine.
”Speak your mind,” the Doctor said expressionlessly.
”With someone's request, I was hoping you could accompany me to a place.” Zhao Baodong did his best to make his wording sound less suspicious, but in the end, he realized that regardless of how he said it, it was no different from declaring a kidnapping.
”What if I said no?”
Zhao Baodong cautiously scanned the door. Seeing as there was no one eavesdropping, Zhao Baodong said, ”This is for your benefit. Believe it or not, this place is about to be gone soon.”
Doctor Sun was silent for a long time before he then asked, ”Then tell me why your employer wants to see me.”
”Our leader suspects you're a digitalized human… of course, this doesn't mean we're malicious. We just want to confirm your program-”
Before Zhao Baodong could finish, Doctor Sun burst out laughing.
Zhao Baodong shrugged. He didn't mind a disrespectful laugh, but he just looked at the Doctor in search of an answer.
Go? Or not go?
”Is that what your leader told you? Haha, not bad, a digitalized human is a good way to disguise-”
”Please don't continue,” Zhao Baodong immediately said.
”Afraid you'll find out too much?” Sun Yi glanced at the anxious visitor with a grin. His unaged face had the maturity belonging only to elders.
”That's right.” Zhao Baodong was honest.
If Jiang Chen hadn't told him the specifics, that meant Jiang Chen knew his identity. If Zhao Baodong learned about something he shouldn't have, it might not necessarily be beneficial for a small character like him.
Doctor Sun didn't make it difficult for him. He only shook his head and paused for a moment before he slowly said, ”I could go with you.”
Zhao Baodong was relieved. ”Then please.”
”But the time is not now.”
Zhao Baodong's expression froze, and words came out with difficulty.
”Why?”
It was hard to take a person out of the capital by force.
Although this was the ghetto, the outlaw land of the capital, the district outside the capital was patrolled by guards. Even if he was a great fighter, it wouldn't be easy to take someone out of the heavily guarded city.
”In the past ten years, I've saved a lot of people. Out of everyone, nine of them suffered gun wounds,” Doctor Sun said calmly.
”To be honest, regarding your leader… or the treasure pursued by all people with power, I've completed my research.”
”My previous plan was to make the secret public so everyone could share the wealth exchanged by the blood of the minority. The wasteland could quickly regain its population from before the war, and with the efforts of humanity, the wasteland would be more prosperous, more united, and more pleasant than before the war… we'd work together to create a desirable future.”
”But when I woke up and walked out of the abandoned fallout shelter, I suddenly changed my mind. It wasn't because of the despairing barrenness, but something more depressing.”
Zhao Baodong was curious what his secret was, but his dry throat couldn't make any sounds.
”You plan to attack this place, right?” Doctor Sun looked at Zhao Baodong expressionlessly. ”Then let me see - destroying a city that provides protection for tens of thousands of people, is your leader worthy of the secret in my hands?”
”If not, I'm prepared to take the secret in my grave.”
