Chapter 1483: Surviving the Doomsday 18

Seeing them come out, Jack stood up and took the basin from her hand.

Half a year has passed and people have become accustomed to life here. Anyway, so what if you're not used to it, either accept it or die.

In the corridor going back, there were many people standing with something in their hands. There are daily rations and there are also leftover foods from the past. These items can be exchanged for items, but the price will not be the same as before.

Either in exchange for food, if not food. A bottle of clean water requires a gold necklace or, better yet, gold bars and coins. A can of lunch meat requires a diamond ring of more than two carats in exchange for it.

Don't think it's expensive. People who switch often feel that they are losing money because they either plan to get married and need a ring, or they plan to save it so that it can be used in the future.

There are also women who stand there wearing only their coats with the front row of buttons unbuttoned. The way they stand and the look in their eyes tell you what she wants to do. People are sometimes commodities, and there are many such “commodities”.

Most of the people here are selected. They used to be at least middle class, but they don't care about anything just to have a good meal.

Everyone is so hungry that they are thin and do not need weight loss pills. Jack's burly figure, which looked good, made the women look at him twice before turning to her.

In full view of everyone, we walked to our own air-raid shelter.

Many people inside were lying on their own beds. They could only keep the minimum amount of food they needed and had to lie down.

Jack took out the mat and spread it in the corner over there, letting Kathy sit there and watch TV.

Because this place was close to their bed, Jack would put the mattress away every time. Although it was stolen twice, Jack chased it back and beat the thief severely. So now, no one dares to steal the mat anymore, and no one dares to use this place.

Xining put the wet cloth and washed underwear in the basin and cooled them on the suspended part of the bed frame. Washing the face and washing the cloth were separate and needed to be dried for hygiene. Some people here don't pay attention to hygiene and have developed eczema, scabies, fungus and other gynecological diseases.

Jack came over, holding the bed with one hand, looking down at her in an ambiguous posture. Jokingly: "What those women were thinking just now was that this man was not thin. How did he do it?"

Xining pursed her lips: "I don't know this, but they will definitely not take your business."

"Why?" Jack pretended to be confused: "Don't they want food?"

Xining raised his head and tried hard to hold back his laughter: "You are too strong. I need double the amount of money to do your business."

Jack laughed.

At this time someone came over and shouted: "Is Dr. Lewis here? Dr. Lewis!"

Xining turned his head and shouted: "Here!"

Great, we have business again.

The person who came quickly ran over with a worried look on his face: "Please let the doctor go and have a look. My brother is injured."

Xining looked at him: "Do you know the rules for my medical visits?"

"Oh~" He quickly handed over a piece of butter.

Xining handed the butter to Jack and went to hug Casey. And Jack quickly rolled up the mattress and stuffed it under the bed. Arriving at another air-raid shelter, there was a young man lying on a lower bunk, with a cracked mouth corner and a bright face. His clothes had been untied, and his skinny chest was heaving.

"What? There was a fight?" Xining went up to check.

The entire underground shelter is divided into two blocks. One is military and one is civilian. Only a small number of soldiers will patrol civilian areas. And from the looks of those soldiers, it was obvious that they were also restricted in food, but the amount was slightly more than that of civilians. The so-called more is probably just one more piece of bread.

In this situation, in this place, fighting has become a common occurrence. Especially for food, women. There are also people fighting for face. Wherever there are people, there will be struggles.

"It's lucky that the ribs are not broken!" After touching the bones, he asked: "Where do you feel the pain? Especially the liver, stomach, and lungs."

The young man who was beaten with bruises on his face said: "The calf was stepped on and broken."

Xining turned to look at his calf, and there was indeed a very swollen spot.

After thinking about it, I estimated the price: "One pack of milk, plus one pack of bread or cake."

"This..." It was said that it was the young man's brother. The person who came to invite her looked embarrassed, as if he was constipated: "Or just a pack of milk or a pack of bread."

"Then please hire Gao Ming!" Xining stood up.

"Doctor Lewis, don't leave!" The other party hurriedly stretched out his hand, but Jack next to him glared at him and retracted his hand in fright: "According to your price, everyone said that your medical skills are good. It's not that everyone is in trouble now, otherwise …”

Seeing that he was about to leave with a sullen expression, he could only shout quickly: "Go and get the milk and bread... There is nothing, go and borrow..."

When the milk and bread were brought, Xining opened the milk and took two sips before giving it to Casey. He opened the bread again, gave a small piece to Cathy, and gave the rest to Jack.

Casey and Jack didn't shy away from it and ate it right on the spot. It is safest to eat the food on the spot and fall into the stomach.

After drinking milk just now, Xining wiped his mouth: "Go and prepare two wooden boards and some ropes. If you don't have ropes, you can only hug him and don't let him move! There are also bandages. If not, use cloth strips. Used for fixing wooden boards..."

Next to the civilian area, there is an infirmary. It was fine before, but later on, the military doctor wanted to take the benefits. The more things we want, the more things we need, which becomes unbearable. For a job like setting bones, the military doctor needed a meat pot. In comparison, the price of a pack of milk and a piece of bread is much lower. So those in need will focus on doctors in civilian areas.

Xiang Shen majored in surgery, but now he does everything, such as orthopedics, dermatology, and even obstetrics and gynecology. As long as he can get food, he will do it!

Fortunately, I had stayed in the ancient plane before, studied Chinese medicine for several months, and knew some daily remedies. Otherwise, in this situation where there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, I really don’t know what to do.

Even if the pain is excruciating, I can only hold on because the anesthetic there needs to be exchanged for food. Want to steal? Impossible. There is only one door there, and there are thick walls on three sides. They also send soldiers to guard the door, armed with guns. When they see people approaching, they will first warn and then shoot, without giving them a chance.

The military also turned a blind eye to this. After all, they have so many people who need food and medicine, and these are limited and will be gone once they are used up.

Finally, the bones were aligned, and then wooden boards and cloth strips were tied. The cloth strips were torn from a sheet. You can still sleep without bedsheets, but if you can't walk with your legs, they will be disabled.

"Okay!" Xining wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Call me in three days and I will check once. I will come back to check in the future to see if the bones are aligned. During this period, don't touch the water or move. He lies down After a while, give him a massage with your hands.”
