Gang Doctor

None of the people who have survived and thrived in this era are fools.

After hearing Bai Zhi's provocative words (https://www. hetushu. com. com), although the thugs standing behind the Hyena were immediately enraged, the Hyena remained remarkably calm.

Raising his hand and gesturing for the people behind him to quiet down, the hyena's smile faded, Hyena extended his hand towards Bai Zhi.

"I've been feeling a bit unwell lately, Doctor Bai, could you take a look and treat me?"

"Okay."

Slightly surprised, Bai Zhi glanced at the other person and readily took their hand, seemingly to take their pulse.

But just as he reached out, the Hyena suddenly grabbed his hand, and then an unusually strong force came from his hand.

Bai Zhi did not choose option four, but even without those attribute Enhancement, his physical attributes are still at the human limit.

Strength 15 points, Constitution 15 points, Agility 15 points, Intelligence 15 points, Perception 13 points, Charisma 15 points, Sanity... three question marks.

It can be said that his current attributes are quite impressive, a far cry from his Crippled Constitution two months ago.

Even so, Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised to find that the Hyena in front of him was no less Strength than him, and even slightly stronger. If calculated according to specific Data-like attributes, the hyena's Strength was at least 16 points.

(Even if he wasn't Player, did he gain Superman Strength through those mutated bodies...? And this was just a minor leader in the Wolf Gang...)

As Bai Zhi pondered this, the Hyena's expression subtly changed.

He had used all his Strength, but he still couldn't defeat the common in front of him. Even if the other person's Strength was not as good as his, it wasn't much different.

"Doctor Bai, if this is all you're relying on, then you're seriously underestimating us."

The Hyena released its grip and spoke calmly.

"I'm not the only Evolver in the gang; there are many stronger than me. While it's certainly impressive to have reached this level so soon after evolving, aren't you being a bit too confident?"

"I never said I wouldn't pay back the money. You're the one who came here looking like you were going to tear this place down and cause trouble, okay?"

With a slight pout, Bai Zhi leaned back in his chair.

"I'm not that guy across the street who got slapped by you but still smiles at you. All I want is the right to have an equal conversation."

From the memories of this world that I have gained, the so-called Evolver are those humans who were corrupted by Anomaly and monsters but survived and even gained some of the Strength of those Anomaly.

There aren't many of these kinds of people, but there aren't few either.

From the Player's perspective, these people are potential seeds of Anomaly, and sooner or later they will lose their self-awareness and die or become new Anomaly due to the pollution of their bodies. But from the perspective of common, they are Evolver.

The Player, on the other hand, are the Chosen One.

In this small town, the Chosen One are the high-ranking officials representing the official government, and they are the ones who organize the town's most fundamental discipline.

However, their residence was in the very center of the town, not in this peripheral area.

Incidentally, Mutant are not necessarily Evolver.

"Good, Doctor Bai is indeed a straightforward person."

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, the Hyena smiled, but given the ferocious gaping wound on his face, his smile only made him look more terrifying and grotesque.

"I apologize to Doctor Bai for my previous rudeness. I was a little angry before, so I acted impulsively. Please don't take it to heart, Doctor Bai."

"As the saying goes, doctors have the heart of parents. Don't worry, I'm not one to hold grudges."

Bai Zhi responded with the same smile to the other party's apology.

"I checked your pulse earlier, and you're in excellent health. Is there anything else you need?"

"There were some things that happened before, but I've changed my mind now."

After surveying the narrow surroundings of the house and pondering for a moment, the Hyena began to speak.

"Doctor Bai, if I may be so bold, even if you become Evolver, you still wouldn't be able to raise such a large sum of money in such a short time, would you?"

"What, do you have connections?"

Sitting up straight, Bai Zhi revealed an expression of great interest.

"To be honest, I originally planned to leave the city and become a hunter. After all, I'm strong enough now to protect myself if I go out. If I'm lucky enough to find something of value, then my debts might be settled."

"Leave the city? That's too dangerous."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, the Hyena immediately shook its head repeatedly.

"To be honest, there seems to be a lot of commotion outside the city lately. Of those who went out to scavenge... hunters, less than one in ten returned alive. Lately, very few people dare to leave the city. Even I myself don't dare step out of the city gates, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."

"Is it really that dangerous outside the city now...? Judging from your tone, it seems you have other ideas?"

Bai Zhi silently memorized this information and raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the Hyena in front of him, who seemed confident.

"Of course. It's actually quite simple to resolve Doctor Bai's debts. As long as you're willing to join the Wolf Gang, all those previous debts can be wiped clean."

While saying these words with a smile, the Hyena was also observing the expression on Bai Zhi's face.

Although most of Bai Zhi's face was covered by his homemade mask, some clues could still be seen if one looked closely.

"Strong people are welcome everywhere. With Doctor Bai's strength, he should be able to become a small leader in the book. Our gang has always lacked a strong Doctor."

One Doctor isn't much in itself, but a capable Doctor is worth recruiting; in the Apocalypse, maximizing profits is the priority.

After all, from the very beginning, they never expected the Doctor to be able to repay the money...

In addition, rumors circulating outside the city also made them wary. In this messed-up era, the destruction of a small town was hardly news. Under these circumstances, they desperately needed powerful allies.

It's not surprising that anyone with a brain would make such a choice.

In a post- Apocalypse, Strength makes right.

And so, Bai Zhi successfully completed his identity change.

He successfully transitioned from Debtor Doctor to Gang Doctor, finally managing to remove the word "debt" from Doctor name.

After all, this thing always reminded him of strange things like a heiress in debt...

By the way, he's never played that Game before.

Now that they were on their side, the Hyena's attitude became noticeably more enthusiastic.

Because of evolution, common are completely unable to heal these Evolver, but it's not a problem for Evolver. It's essential to maintain good relations with them, because in critical moments, it could be a matter of life and death.

The Hyena even reluctantly offered its own crumpled cigarette, which it had been saving for itself, to the other—a hard currency that money couldn't buy.

"Brother, that's impressive! No wonder you're destined for great things!!"

Seeing the crumpled cigarette offered to him, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up slightly. As he took the cigarette, he also gave the other person a thumbs up.

Although he doesn't smoke, and a crumpled cigarette isn't worth that price, you have to love what you do.

There's not much to say, just two words.

Dedicated!!

"From now on, we're colleagues. It's nothing."

With a slight pang of regret, the Hyena watched as the other person unhesitatingly put the cigarette into their inner pocket, and then spoke up.

"Our place isn't too far from here, shall we go there first?"

"Certainly."

Bai Zhi patted the white lab coat he was wearing, whose original color was no longer discernible, stood up from the chair, and spoke with a smile.

"To be honest, I can't wait."
