After leaving the community, Cheng Ye took out his Defense Communication to have a look.
The dical application had indeed been approved by the checkpoint, and a dedicated dical facility had been assigned.
"Happiness" dical Facility.
When he clicked on the location, it was in the South Suburb of the Buffer Zone, not far from the South Inspection Station.
"Currently, there are eight operational dical facilities in the Buffer Zone."
Jiang Chuan quickly caught up and explained, both of them tacitly not bringing up the recent incident.
With this mutual understanding, Jiang Chuan truly took himself as an officer sent by the checkpoint to escort soone, speaking with the assurance of soone familiar with the process.
Cheng Ye wasn’t shy either. Having soone who knew the ropes leading the way could definitely save a lot of trouble.
The conversation turned natural.
"Apart from the five dical facilities open to the public, the other three are for internal use, each belonging to one of the three major corps; each corps occupies one." Jiang Chuan said while walking, "The checkpoint uses the Happiness Corps’ dical facility. Their soldiers rarely get injured, and if they do, they tend to go to the Inner City for treatnt instead of the Buffer Zone, so it’s relatively less busy."
"How are the dical fees calculated then, using Contribution Points or Happiness Coins?"
"dical fees?"
Jiang Chuan was montarily stunned, then couldn’t help but chuckle, "Inspector Cheng is lucky, looks like you’ve never been to a dical facility. In Happiness City, whether in the Inner City or the Buffer Zone, all dical facilities are free. As long as you have a resident ID, you can receive treatnt."
"Completely free?"
"Yes."
"What if soone gets injured from fighting, can they also get free treatnt?"
"Anyone can be treated, for any reason, with all costs covered by Happiness City."
Well then.
Not only is the Idealist Faction offering free electricity, they’re even covering all dical expenses.
Sothing’s not right.
Cheng Ye suddenly recalled sothing Zhu Xiang ntioned a couple of days ago, and he furrowed his brow slightly before continuing to ask, "Can you get treatnt right away when you arrive?"
"That depends. If there’s an available bed, yes. Otherwise..."
"If there’s no bed available, can you buy dicine yourself?"
"No." Jiang Chuan shook his head, "dical supplies are controlled items. Only the external patrol fleet of the checkpoint is allowed to purchase them according to quotas... Well, foreign caravans can also buy, but the prices are ridiculously high, especially those special drugs mixed with Mutated Crystals, which are pivotal to every Shelter City and not casually let out."
"No available beds, and you can’t even buy dicine..."
Cheng Ye clicked his tongue secretly, finally understanding why Zhu Xiang would think about promoting private healthcare.
If soone is seriously injured and can’t find an available bed, wouldn’t they just have to wait outside to die?
Moreover, since healthcare is free for everyone, dical facilities’ inco must rely solely on funds allocated from above.
Progress in the dical field depends on continuous investnt in research and technology updates, and a single funding model obviously can’t support these long-term costs.
Over ti, no wonder they gave up research on dicines targeting infection sources.
As he was thinking, a Big Golden Cup stopped in front of them; it was a checkpoint official vehicle.
The driver got out of the car, smiling respectfully, "All buses to the North-South Station have been filled with Migrants these past two days. Chief Cheng, the stationmaster has specially authorized you to use an official vehicle, available at your call during dical treatnt."
"That’s quite convenient."
Cheng Ye nodded slightly, his gaze inconspicuously glancing over at Jiang Chuan beside him.
The latter’s expression was as usual, showing no sign of abnormality.
One of Ding Yishan’s people?
Getting into the car, Cheng Ye leaned back in the seat, contemplating quietly.
At this ti, anyone who could send people over is certainly not from the Westerners side, and even if they were, they wouldn’t send an Eastern person as an officer.
Could it be Ding Yishan knew I was funded by the Idealist Faction and specifically sent soone to probe?
Thinking about it, Cheng Ye shook his head indifferently, quickly putting aside these groundless speculations.
After all, it was the confidence brought by the Horned Starfish.
Even if he were to wade into the factions’ struggle within the checkpoint, he wouldn’t be the slightest bit intimidated by their covert tactics, at least not these underhanded thods.
With this foundation, and since he’s blatantly Cheng Long’s sole heir, though the Cheng Family has caused the checkpoint nuisance after nuisance, there are also countless people who owe the Cheng Family favors.
To be honest, who dares to make a move against him in the open?
The vehicle headed south all the way, and by this ti in the afternoon, there were far fewer Migrants on the road.
Because going out would an traveling in the dark, which is extrely dangerous.
Most Migrants start their journey in the dark of night, walking until dawn; few would choose to set out at night.
"Chief Cheng, I’ve never seen anyone so respected and beloved by community residents before."
Seeing that Cheng Ye remained silent, Jiang Chuan did not forget his initial intention and attempted to probe once more.
To his imnse surprise, Cheng Ye seed entirely uninhibited, actually saying directly:
"Yes, the night the infection outbreak happened, I led them and charged through several rounds. That third-class rit of Happiness was earned by leading them, how could they not be grateful?"
"Uh?"
Jiang Chuan was taken aback, hurriedly jotting down this piece of information, "And you didn’t encounter any danger?"
"Of course, I did, I encountered three Fusion Bodies, two primary and one advanced."
Probing each other can be this simple.
Cheng Ye slowed his pace, his peripheral vision observing Jiang Chuan’s face, taking in that hint of surprise completely.
Hey, does the checkpoint not know what happened that night?
In an instant, Cheng Ye’s mind raced, if not probing due to knowing about the Idealist Faction, could it be... they are thinking of recruiting ?
This would actually be good news.
From the ti Liu Bi called back, Ding Yishan had already begun to release goodwill.
But it seems that because of the Cheng Family, this goodwill release is rather slow.
