Chapter 355 Treatment, Payment
Hearing these words, the Ryan family was still not at ease. Zheng Mu glanced at the little girl they were holding but who was still unconscious. She knew that this was the potential girl that Lu Yize had his eye on, but she did not show it on her face.
"Alright, the exchange procedures have been completed. You're going to the medical team, right? It's about time now, so go ahead, there are always a lot of people there."
Out of curiosity, Ryan's mother asked, "Are there so many sick people?"
Zheng Mu smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, "No, it's just that the medical team has recently developed a lot of things with health benefits. In this post-apocalyptic world, everyone has some injuries, so they choose to recuperate."
So that's how it is. The Ryan family didn't think much of it after hearing this, since they were still worried about Nina's condition. After leaving the finance office, they went straight to the medical team.
Just as Zheng Mu said, there were already quite a few people in the medical team early in the morning, but they all seemed to be in good spirits. There was even a man with a missing hand who was happily queuing in front of the Ryan family.
Raine overheard him bragging to an acquaintance ahead of him, "Hey, back when the apocalypse first started, didn't I lose a hand while saving my wife? I didn't think much of it, but my wife would secretly cry whenever she saw my hand. Ugh, I got annoyed by her crying."
“A few days ago, we stormed into the lair of those alien races. I was lucky enough to get a second-tier crystal core from a dead alien. I immediately exchanged it for universal currency and came to see Doctor Sheng Xue to treat my broken hand and stop my wife from crying all the time.”
The Ryan family, still in line, were shocked to hear this. "Severed limbs can be restored? Is a thousand universal coins enough?"
The other person didn't think much of it since they were all from the base, and just smiled and spoke.
"It's enough. Although the cost of limb regeneration is higher, it's at most 10,000 universal coins. I joined the base at the beginning, so I can get reimbursed. I only need to pay 1,000 for the surgery myself, and I don't even need to pay for the medicine. After all, Dr. Sheng Xue's healing ability is very useful."
After hearing these words, the Ryan family felt a little relieved, but the rest of their anxiety wouldn't be resolved until their child was fully recovered.
The kind-hearted man glanced at the Ryan family. Although they looked a bit thin and malnourished, they didn't seem to have any other health problems.
Curious, he asked, "Are you here to recuperate?"
Lei Jie shook his head with a wry smile, "No, it's because my daughter is sick. She's had a high fever for half a month, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, the group of people who had been chatting suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Lei Jie's family, making them feel a pang of unease, as if they had said something wrong.
But then, the previously quiet crowd immediately became restless, with people even more anxious than the parents shouting, "Then what are you still waiting in line for! Hurry up and take your child to the doctor through the emergency lane!!"
The eldest brother's voice, teetering on the edge of cracking, shattered the silence. He even kindly pulled Lei Jie towards the emergency exit. These tall guys seemed reliable enough, but how could they be so unreliable?!
"Go in from here, walk straight, and when you see a doctor, register and swipe your ID card. The doctors in the health team are very nice, so don't worry."
Having experienced the fickleness of human relationships, it was impossible for the Ryan family not to be moved by their warm treatment. However, they didn't have time to be moved, because they noticed that Nina's temperature had risen even higher as Reggie held her.
Lei Jie quickened his pace and, upon seeing the doctor inside, immediately put Nina down. "Doctor, this child has had a persistent high fever for half a month. She's in the awakening phase of her superpowers, but her body couldn't withstand the power and she fell into a coma..."
Upon hearing this, the doctor got up and examined Nina's condition. Fortunately, it was better than expected.
This child's situation has occurred several times within the base. In reality, it's a lack of superpowers during the awakening period, but because they haven't fully awakened, they can't directly absorb superpowers. However, these cases have mostly involved adults; no such cases have occurred with children.
Multiple verifications have confirmed that the crystal core powder researched by Sheng Xue, combined with the pills she creates using her supernatural abilities, can alleviate the lack of supernatural abilities during the awakening period.
The doctor got up and used a special instrument to measure the amount of superpower the child lacked, and then raised an eyebrow when he saw the number.
Nina's mother was clearly very sensitive about her child's condition. Seeing this, she asked with a sorrowful expression, "Doctor, what's wrong? What happened to Nina?"
The doctor calmly recorded the values. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that this child has great talent. He'll probably be very good after his superpowers awaken. You should nurture him well."
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Take three pills three times a day for seven days. If your child's condition stabilizes after seven days, you don't need to take it anymore. If it doesn't stabilize, bring him to the hospital for a checkup."
"Take the child to get an IV drip now, and the temperature should stabilize."
This medicine is a pill made from crystal core powder developed by Sheng Xue, specifically designed to deal with such situations.
After the doctor prescribed the medicine, he saw them still standing there looking confused. They looked up, puzzled, but considering they had probably just arrived, he added, "Remember to go to the payment counter to settle the bill first, then take the receipt to pick up the medicine and get the IV drip."
"Is...is that all?" Renn asked uncertainly.
The doctor smiled upon hearing this, "Yes, it's just that there's a lack of trace amounts of supernatural power during the awakening period. Your child is quite talented, so the demand is greater, but because the power hasn't fully awakened, it can't be absorbed directly, which leads to the current situation."
"Actually, even if you didn't come to the doctor, after a few months of fever, her body would gradually adapt to this state and complete the awakening of her superpowers. Although she would suffer a bit, she would still wake up. Right now, we're just trying to make her suffer less."
"However, your child is indeed gifted. Other adults may only need to take one such pill at a time, but your child needs to take three pills because of her high demand. It is precisely because of her high demand and young age that her reaction is more obvious than that of ordinary people."
Hearing the doctor's explanation, their previously anxious hearts finally felt somewhat at ease. After thanking him repeatedly, they went to the payment counter to pay.
Before coming, Reggie had specifically emphasized to Ryan that he would pay back the money he owed him slowly, but after Ryan finished paying the bill, Reggie nervously asked how much it cost in total.
Rein was still in a daze, and it wasn't until his brother called him for the third time that he snapped out of it, looking at the numbers displayed in his ability ring with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
