This Ghost writer Is Too Attractive (End)

22. Hospital Raid

The next day, Carl checks up on the sisters condition in the prison cell. It's his duty as this base's sole doctor.

Carmen is still unconscious. Her body heat is way above normal.

There is no available thermometer here. Carl could only use the back of his hand as reference.

He comments, "This won't do. The wound got infection. That's why the fever won't go down."

Beatrice pleads, "Doctor, you have to save her. Please..."

"I'll see what I can do. Pardon me."

Carl puts his hand on the injured shoulder. He closes his eyes and focuses on the wound.

A shimmering light heals the wound slowly.

Carl's face is drained of color when it's done. He lacks of strength. His level is still too low to heal.

He could only make the infection gone. Unable to heal the wound completely.

"Sorry... I weren't able to help much..."

"Thank you."

Medicines are scarce in this era. Healing ability is very rare. It's a good thing this man is willing to help them.

Carl comments, "It's my job. No worries."

He is serving this base as a medical practitioner. Using his healing ability would help him level up.

One stone two birds.

It's a win and win solution for everyone.

Many of the members have gotten ill after diving into dirty sewer water. That's why Ross and others have gone to hospital to find medicines.

Carl has vowed to keep this base safe during their absence. He has heard what happened to these sisters. He hopes Ross would be able to find drugs he requested.

He is planning to wash their marks. So that scum Alpha won't have influence on them anymore. It's the only way they could be released from this cell.

Carl sighs and begins to write. He has an infirmary in this base. He is going to make a database for the members. It's important to have health records. To write their illness and allergies.

On the way to rob a hospital...

Ross looks a bit tense. He knows Carl could be trusted. He still worries because he lost two bases by trusting wrong person.

Jessie comments, "You could trust him. Relax, Capt."

"En."

Jessie is better in judging characters. Ross will trust her judgment anytime.

Eddie is their driver. He says nothing and focuses in his duty. He hasn't talked much to him since his sister's death.

Ross still feels awkward to him.

Val looks outside through a window. It's blazing hot out there. They feel suffocated in the car. Like sardens in a tin can. Slowly roasted.

No air conditioner turns on to save gas. No one complaints about it.

It's still early in the morning. The temperature would be rising more in midday.

The hospital is packed with zombies as predicted.

Jessie freezes the ones in the courtyard. Ross whacks their heads. Eddie creates earth walls around hospital building. To prevent outside zombies from rushing in.
