Chapter 30: Not Simple

Yao Ran turned off the range hood, put away the trash, and placed the trash bag outside. Just as she was about to close the door, she heard a faint cry from Unit 2001.

Yao Ran was admitted to a famous medical university through a scholarship and studied for two years. With years of medical experience in her previous life, she accumulated enough experience to know that the child's crying sounded wrong.

She stood there for a moment but decided not to meddle in other people's business. Before she could go back, the door to unit 2001 suddenly opened.

Looking at Zhou Ruilin's panicked face and red eyes, Yao Ran knew that the crying child must be her family member. Just as she was about to close the door, Zhou Ruilin saw her.

When she saw Yao Ran, her eyes lit up with hope. Zhou Ruilin rushed over and stood a few steps away from her.

She wiped the tears from her face, forced out a polite smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Miss. Can you do me a favor? My son started having a fever two days ago. But because of the heavy rain and floods, I couldn't take him to the hospital. Please help me."

Yao Ran looked at her in silence for a moment before asking, "Where is the Father?"

Zhou Ruilin clasped her hands together and said in a choked voice, "My husband is a firefighter and hasn't come back for several days."

Yao Ran glanced at her trembling hands and said, "I am a medical student at Haicheng University. I can examine your son, but I can't guarantee that I can cure him."

When Zhou Ruilin heard Yao Ran's words, she quickly bent down and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Miss. Thank you very much!"

Yao Ran stopped her from bowing and said, "Wait here. I had to get my medicine bag first." After Yao Ran finished speaking, she closed the door. She walked into the bedroom and then carried the medicine bag out. When Yao Ran came out, Zhou Ruilin was gone.

Seeing that the door of unit 2001 was left open, Yao Ran locked her door and walked to the apartment. As soon as she stepped into the apartment, she heard Zhou Ruilin's voice, full of fear and panic, coming from one of the bedrooms.

"Shu Shu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother! Shu Shu!"

Yao Ran knew something had happened and hurried over. Seeing the child having a seizure, Yao Ran's expression changed. She quickly walked to the bed and took out a set of silver needles.

She held a silver needle between her fingers and, without hesitation, penetrated the Shuigou and Renzhong acupoints on the child's body. As she flicked and rotated the silver needle, the seizure slowly stopped, and the child's breathing stabilized.

Pulling out the silver needle, Yao Ran looked at the stunned Zhou Ruilan and said, "Your son's fever is too high. We need to reduce his fever as soon as possible. Is there any antipyretic medicine for children at home?"

Zhou Ruilan came to her senses and quickly replied, "I still have some antipyretics for children left at home."

Yao Ran nodded, "Good. You should give him medicine according to the instructions, feed him some porridge, and wipe his body with alcohol to lower his body temperature."

Zhou Ruilan nodded repeatedly, trying to remember everything Yao Ran had just said. When she finally calmed down, she held Yao Ran's hands, choked on her tears, and said, "Thank you, miss. If it weren't for- if it weren't for you, my son-he-"

Yao Ran had seen and experienced the cruelty of people's hearts, and her heart had already long become cold.

However, she still has a bottom line. When faced with a mother desperately trying to save her child, she still couldn't ignore her. It reminded her of how she felt when she desperately asked for help, but no one would reach out.

She took her hand out of Zhou Ruilan's and said, "That's all I can do for you."

After saying that, Yao Ran left without waiting for Zhou Ruilan's reply. When she came out from unit 2001, she met the owner of unit 2002.

Looking at the raincoat and his wet hair, Yao Ran's eyes flickered for a second.

'He can still go out when a tornado and super typhoon are raging outside. This person is indeed not simple.'

The two looked at each other for a moment before Yao Ran nodded at him as a greeting and returned to her apartment. As she walked home, the man's eyes followed her. Seeing Yao Ran had locked the door, he also went home.

After returning home, Yao Ran put away the medicine bag. Then she put away everything in the apartment into her space. Except for a bed in the bedroom, a sofa in the living room, and the kitchen, everything had been put away.

Yao Ran only installed floor heating in the master bedroom, and the temperature was getting lower day by day. She had to be prepared in advance so she wouldn't have to pack her things if she needed to run away.

The end of the world is unpredictable, and Yao Ran knows how easy it is for humans to lose their lives. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Her apartment had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, a study, and a kitchen. Now, all the rooms are empty except the master bedroom and kitchen.

Looking at the empty apartment, Yao Ran decided to plant some vegetables and fruits. In addition to helping her pass the time and distract her attention from her anxiety, growing vegetables gives her a legitimate reason to enjoy fresh vegetables and fruit openly. Although there is plenty of food in her space, she still has to be careful. Currently, her abilities are too low to be used in combat, and she has no backer or power to protect herself.

As the saying goes, two hands are no match for four feet. Therefore, acting cautiously and keeping a low profile are her only choices at the moment.
