The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1274 785: Entering the Hospital (Part 2)

"Hello? Is this 'Jidao Public Bath'? Yes, it's Liu Zheng. From now on, if any hospital security guards co to spend money, just say 'I'm a friend of Liu Zheng,' and I'll cover it all."

"Yes, there's no limit."

"How did the call go?"

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and smiled at him.

"It went... pretty well."

The skinny security guard swallowed his saliva.

"Where exactly is that 'Jidao Public Bath' you ntioned?"

He asked.

"Right here."

Liu Zheng took out a map and pointed out the location of "Jidao Public Bath."

"Really? What if I go and they don't recognize and beat up instead."

The skinny security guard was a bit skeptical.

"Then just take cash."

He took out a wad of cash.

"No, no, there are caras all over the place, and they're all watching."

The skinny security guard hurriedly pushed it back to him.

"Do you believe now?"

"I believe you, I believe you."

The skinny security guard said repeatedly.

"What should you say now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Uh... I'm a friend of Liu Zheng?"

The skinny security guard wasn't dull, and quickly understood his aning.

"Good, good. Now lead inside."

Liu Zheng smiled and patted his shoulder.

"I was going to take you inside anyway."

The skinny security guard said with a forced smile, then made a gesture of danger resolved to the other guards.

The guards who had surrounded them returned to their posts, but their eyes were like laser guns scanning the skinny security guard's back.

The skinny security guard's forehead was sweating a few drops of cold sweat; if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, he would be in for a beating after work.

"Can my colleagues ntion your na too?"

He quickly asked.

"Of course. I'm always open to friends. But people who stab in the back, of course not."

Liu Zheng replied.

"I won't make things difficult for you, and don't make things difficult for . Anything within my duty, I'll try to help you. Anything beyond my ability, I'll have to stick to protocol. Is that okay with you?"

The skinny security guard tested the waters.

"Sure, that's how friends should be."

He agreed without hesitation.

"You are indeed reasonable."

The skinny security guard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, I'll take you inside. It's not good for to be away from my post for too long."

"Alright."

Liu Zheng nodded and followed him through the turnstile.

Upon entering the hospital, a strong odor hit him.

He was sowhat familiar with this sll, primarily the disinfectant sll, particularly chloride-based ones like sodium hypochlorite solution.

If you sll carefully, there are other scents like a bloody sll, rancid sll, formaldehyde sll, burnt sll, etc.

These slls can be found everywhere, but only hospitals have them all combined.

The complex and layered scent is just like a hospital, where chaos and order coexist, and quietness and bustle are unified.

"This way."

The skinny security guard pointed to a large building on the right.

"What's that?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The ergency building."

The skinny security guard replied.

"Why isn't there even a sign?"

"You'll see it when you get closer."

He said.

"Isn't that too inconvenient? Patients have to search building by building, by the ti they find it, they might be dead already."

Liu Zheng complained.

"For serious cases, they can call an ambulance, which knows exactly where each building is. Frequent visitors know as well. As for newcors, they'll learn after visiting a few tis."

The skinny security guard said nonchalantly.

"Is there no other way?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Well, not exactly..."

The skinny security guard paused, assessed the situation to make sure it was safe to continue, and then said.

"Wealthy people like you can hire a dical consultant."

"What's that?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's like a lawyer; they can tell you which departnt to register for, which doctor to see, what precautions to take in the hospital, and if you pay more, they can coordinate surgery tis with doctors and handle hospitalization procedures."

The skinny security guard explained.

"Oh~ so it's a scalper."

He realized.

"It's not wrong if you insist on calling it that."

"Are these dical consultants part of the hospital?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, they have nothing to do with the hospital. The hospital strongly discourages patients from hiring these so-called dical consultants. If any adverse consequences arise from privately hiring them, the patient bears full responsibility."

The skinny security guard suddenly switched to a very official tone.

"Tsk~"

He drew out his tone.

"You heard , right? I've fulfilled my duty to inform you."

The skinny security guard said, keeping a straight face.

"I heard, I heard."

Liu Zheng waved his hand disdainfully.

It's just severing ties; he's seen this move plenty of tis.

But in reality, scalpers usually work through personal connections, while the ones in tropolis are seemingly organized, just not officially acknowledged by the hospital.

It's better that way; those who handle things with money won't have to ddle with hospital staff.

While pondering, Liu Zheng changed his original plan.

But the skinny security guard didn't know he had missed a chance to make a big fortune.

Then again, he also avoided a huge risk.

"We're here."

The skinny security guard said.

Liu Zheng looked up to see the huge glowing words "Ergency Center" hanging above the entrance.

The four signboards weren't vertical but tilted forward slightly, giving a feeling of being overlooked from above, combined with the glaring dark red lights, the sense of oppression was almost palpable.

"With signs like these, aren't you afraid of scaring patients to death before they co in?"

He squinted his eyes and asked.

"If they're scared to death, the ambulance bill is still payable. Those who walk in themselves without even this level of psychological endurance won't survive the treatnt anyway, so it just lowers the rate of dical accidents."

The skinny security guard said.

"And those family mbers, scared sick just to boost hospital inco, right?"

Liu Zheng added insightfully.

"That's your opinion, not mine."

The skinny security guard quickly distanced himself.

After all, the hospital isn't like other landmarks; the health departnt oversees it, and so things can't be said too bluntly.

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and went straight into the building.

Upon entering the ergency center, the unique hospital sll was stronger, while other slls faded, and the bloody scent beca dominant, along with many other slls.

He couldn't differentiate them, but instinctively felt disgusted.

"Follow and don't wander off. If you get knocked down, don't bla ."

The skinny security guard cautioned.

"Knocked down? There's not even a single person here; who would knock down?"

Liu Zheng surveyed the empty hall.

"Once you get registered and into the respective departnt, you'll see, and at that point, you might wish you hadn't."

The skinny security guard led him to the registration window.

"Hello, get him registered."

The skinny security guard called toward the window.

There was no one inside, just a floating white mask and similarly floating gloves.

"Identification docunts."

The mask emitted a sound.

"What kind of identification docunts?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Driver's license, work ID, mbership card, birth certificate, anything similar is fine."

The skinny security guard explained.

"Oh. So my uniform counts as a work ID, right?"

He pointed at his uniform.

In tropolis, no one would dare impersonate a Bloody Restaurant delivery person.

Or rather, no one would be that foolish.

"Hmm, it should count. What do you think?"

The skinny security guard looked at the mask.

"It's acceptable. Na?"

The mask said again.

"Liu Zheng."

"Race?"

"A hybrid of human and Black Mountain Goat Cub?"

Liu Zheng answered uncertainly.

"Age?"

"30."

"Which departnt are you registering for?"

"Ergency surgery."

The skinny security guard answered for him.

"Right?"

He looked at Liu Zheng with a tough tone and imploring eyes.
