Chapter 18 Special Pollution Diseases
"Please come in."
Qin Feng raised his eyes, a serious expression on his face, and said as he looked at the door of the quality director's office.
Is it the person from Lu Yunsong who is here to pick up the goods?
I don’t know who it is?
Is it also from the upper city?
Speculating.
squeak...
The door slowly opened.
What came into view was an acquaintance.
Zhang Hengming.
Old Zhang.
The old senior anatomist who had installed a low-quality "flesh and blood prosthesis" on his right leg and had nearly 30 years of work experience, and whose anatomical skills were second only to Qin Feng in the entire Rising Sun Behemoth Factory.
"Mr. Qin."
A simple smile appeared on Old Zhang's wrinkled face.
He glanced at the Titan Blood Crystals placed in the transparent glass box on Qin Feng's desk.
He swallowed slightly.
Then his gaze turned calmly to Qin Feng.
laughed:
"Boss Qin, I have something I would like to ask of you."
"Old Zhang, don't be so distant. What's the relationship between us? When I first joined the factory, you taught me many of the techniques for dissecting giant beasts. You can be considered half my master, so there's no need to be so polite."
Qin Feng stood up quickly.
He supported the limping old Zhang and led him to the soft animal skin sofa in the office.
Help them sit down.
And smile:
"If you need any help, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."
"Thank you, President Qin. Thank you, President Qin."
Old Zhang thanked him twice, then said with a rather sorrowful expression, "Boss Qin, as you know, things have been quite unsettled in our Bailang District lately. An unknown, mysterious, and bizarre pollution-causing disease is spreading. Many previously healthy people have been inexplicably infected, and their bodies have developed inexplicable and terrifying deformations."
Qin Feng heard this.
Nod.
He had heard about this recently.
The entire Canglang Lower City is very large, including many residential areas of various sizes.
The "Bailang District" where he lives is a small to medium-sized residential area.
Logically speaking, pollution diseases are almost commonplace in the downtown area. Most downtown residents have some pollution diseases, but the severity varies.
Moreover, the symptoms of various pollution are not the same.
but.
There are some special pollution diseases.
But it will cause people to have the same symptoms.
and.
The symptoms are extremely severe, and almost 90% of them will cause fatal deformities and produce lethal effects.
No one knows where this particular pollution disease came from or how it occurred.
only know.
This special pollution disease always appears suddenly in a certain area after a period of time, and then disappears quietly, which seems strange and inexplicable.
So.
Some people in the lower city also call this disease "strange disease".
They gave it all sorts of strange names that would make people shudder when they heard them—"evil grudge," "cursed spirit," "dead silence," "crying soul"...
This special pollution disease that has recently ravaged the "White Wave District" is still in its initial stages, so there have been no fatal cases and it has not been given a special name.
But Qin Feng estimated that it would be soon.
but.
This special pollution disease sounds scary, but it is actually not a terminal illness.
The big company "Sun and Moon Company" from Upper City has already developed the corresponding special medicine.
Various private pharmaceutical factories in the lower city followed suit and launched their own special-effect medicines. Of course, although they were called special-effect medicines, they were basically imitations of the "Sun and Moon Company"'s counterfeit medicines, and their effectiveness was only 30% to 50% of the genuine medicines.
however.
Whether it is a genuine medicine produced by "Sun and Moon Company".
It's a knock-off medicine made by a private factory in downtown.
The prices are... very expensive!
Ordinary medicine is already very expensive.
It is several times more expensive than ordinary medicine.
Ordinary downtown residents simply cannot afford it.
You should know that this special medicine needs to be taken continuously for three meals a day. Once it is stopped, it will cause serious side effects.
For ordinary families in the lower city, if they only buy a special medicine for a few days, they can still hold on if they grit their teeth. But if it lasts for a month or even several months, they will almost have to spend their life savings, and it may not even be enough!
Exactly.
To cure a fatal deformity caused by special pollution, even with genuine medicine, it would take at least a month.
Old Zhang sighed deeply and said with a bitter face:
"My daughter is in her prime, and I usually pay for her to live in a 'pollution-free zone' far away from factories. The environment there is closest to that of the upper city, and the food and drinks she eats are all healthy foods produced by major companies. Every month, I also take her for a comprehensive pollution checkup and decontamination treatments."
"It's all about giving her the best environment and the best health to study, prepare for the college entrance exam, and strive to get into a graduate school in the city."
"But……"
Old Zhang said here.
His face was wrinkled into a ball, full of reluctance and pain:
"Even so, my daughter still contracted that strange contaminated disease."
"Ugh……"
"Now I have used all my savings to buy special medicine, but it is still not enough."
Old Zhang looked up at Qin Feng, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, but with a hint of hope in his eyes:
"So, Mr. Qin, I hope you can talk to Boss Liu on my behalf and see if he can give me an advance on next month's salary. You're highly regarded by Mr. Lu from Shangcheng now, so Boss Liu might be able to give you some face, maybe..."
Qin Feng was silent for a while.
It is very difficult for ordinary downtown residents to qualify as uptown residents, but there is still hope.
College entrance examination.
It is the only most promising way.
So.
Many parents in the lower city work desperately to get their children into the upper city, gain elite status, undergo genetic baptism, remove the despicable pollutants in their bodies, and qualify to become residents of the upper city.
When Lao Zhang was young, he was already a senior anatomist, and his salary was higher than that of ordinary people in the downtown area.
Plus decades of hard work.
The savings are quite a lot.
At least among the generally poor and struggling lower-city residents, they are considered to be well-off.
But even so, it still cannot support the high cost of special medicines.
Even the medicine you buy may not be genuine.
"Actually, if I could dissect that blood-red crystal gem today and get the prize, it wouldn't be like this, but..."
Old Zhang sighed, "Maybe I'm getting old, and my dissection skills aren't what they used to be. I haven't gained anything at all, and I've lost all confidence. And unfortunately, my medicine is running low, so I can't even last until next month..."
Looking at Lao Zhang, he looked lost and humble.
Qin Feng sighed slightly inwardly.
Lao Zhang's dissection skills actually get better with age.
But obvious.
My daughter's infectious disease.
It made him feel confused.
It would be good if one could utilize 30% to 50% of his anatomical skills. A disordered state of mind would make it even more difficult to resonate with the "Titan bloodline", so there would be no gain.
Qin Feng shook his head and patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder:
"Old Zhang, you know what kind of person our boss Liu is. Forget about giving us an advance on next month's salary. He's already very good at paying us on time without deducting our money or taking advantage of us."
Old Zhang heard this.
Ben's wrinkled face suddenly fell even more.
As an old employee.
Of course, he knew very well about Boss Liu's stingy temper.
"Ding!"
But just then.
The phone notification sounded in Lao Zhang's ears:
"Your Yanxia Bank account has received 30,000 yuan!"
"This……"
Old Zhang opened his eyes wide, picked up his phone and looked at the sender on it - Qin Feng.
"Mr. Qin, I..."
Old Zhang looked at Qin Feng and opened his mouth. For a moment, there were thousands of words in his throat, but he couldn't say a single word. It turned into a sob in his throat.
Qin Feng patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"However, just because it's difficult for Boss Liu to advance your salary doesn't mean I can't advance your bonus."
