Chapter 171: Angel Clinic

Jock called Luona back.

After talking, he discovered that Luona had also received a notification of a new mission.

So the two agreed to meet at the mission location first.

After hanging up the phone, Jock looked at Duru's villa not far away and sighed softly.

"Oh, I'll just have to come again next time."

After saying that, he changed direction and rushed towards the new mission location.

Take the Fire Gang's 'taxi' to the northern edge of the slums, and then transfer to the sky bus in Rhodes City.

Along the way, he was already browsing the new mission information sent by Section Chief Meg.

Another strange incident.

There is a very special area in the westernmost part of the elite area.

The dividing wall here was once destroyed due to ghetto riots.

Later, when the city government renovated the separation wall, it classified this "war site" into a slum area.

Because most of the previous separation wall can still be used, this has become a "double separation" zone.

Two tall separation walls sandwich this area between the two districts.

That crackdown made the slum areas see the horror of the city government, and for the elite areas, it was their shame.

Coupled with various bizarre rumors, this place has become a completely deserted area.

It wasn't until a doctor named "Edward Alex" bought the land and built it into a clinic that the place slowly regained its vitality.

This is the location of Jock's new mission.

The information shows that this is a fully modern technology clinic. Except for the attending doctor "Edward Alex", the rest of the clinic staff are all medical service robots.

The ‘big housekeeper’ responsible for the daily operations of the clinic is an artificial intelligence system named ‘Mick’.

Something strange happened three days ago.

A patient in a slum originally went for a follow-up consultation as agreed, but upon entering the clinic, he discovered that all the medical robots inside were in a 'paralysis' state.

Not only that, the patient searched almost the entire clinic and never saw Dr. "Edward Alex" himself.

This is extremely abnormal.

You must know that Dr. "Edward Alex" is a subordinate of the "God of Society", a formal member of the "Global Medical Organization", and the "savior" of the "Savior" path.

This is the super powerful existence of Sequence 5!

He is a truly extraordinary doctor!

Before the death of his wife, Dr. Alex's reputation was prominent among the upper class society in Rhodes City.

At his most glorious, he even served as the personal doctor for seven families in the Sky Dome District at the same time.

However, all this came to an abrupt end when his wife died unexpectedly.

So far, no one knows how Dr. Alex's wife died.

Moreover, according to his financial resources and connections at the time, ‘consciousness backup’ and ‘new prosthetic body’ should not be too difficult problems.

Even a Sky Family family that Dr. Alex is responsible for is willing to give him a high-end female prosthetic body to 'resurrect' his wife.

But Dr. Alex refused.

He even resigned from all his posts.

No one knows why.

Soon after, Alex used his connections to buy a special piece of land to the west of the elite area and built a clinic.

Named 'Angel'.

Since then, he has lived here and often treated residents in nearby slums.

It is different from the fairyland-like Sky Dome Area and the elite area with complete infrastructure.

People living in slums are prone to illness due to environmental pollution, unclean food and drinking water, the cohabitation of various virus-carrying urban animals such as rats, and the low immunity of their primitive bodies.

How can they have enough money to see a doctor if they cannot guarantee food and clothing?

Besides, the medical level in this world is indeed advanced, but the cost is also shockingly expensive.

For the lower classes, illness...

If your body cannot resist, you will eventually die!

Therefore, the arrival of Dr. Alex and his willingness to treat the poor are simply like an ‘angel coming’!

Because of his contribution here, the originally desolate and unpopular "Special Isolation Zone" in the West District has gradually regained its vitality.

But it also caused new troubles.

As Dr. Alex's reputation in the slums grew, more and more poor people who could not afford medical treatment began to flock here.

The aboriginal people in the Western District were not happy.

After all, there is only one doctor and he only has so much time every day. As the number of patients increases, the time it takes for his turn will be greatly extended.

After a series of 'intense' 'negotiations', the gang also intervened in the 'negotiations'.

Things finally came to an end.

That is, with the 'Angel Clinic' as the center, only residents within a radius of ten kilometers are 'qualified' to come here to see a doctor.

This naturally also includes half of the ‘elite area’.

But since Dr. Alex publicly treated the poor, in fact, no residents from the elite area or the sky dome area have come to the Angel Clinic.

Because in the eyes of these "upper class people", the poor are "lower class", and if you share certain things with them, it would be a gaffe that "has no face and dignity".

Although the "Orthodox Humanity Declaration" promulgated by the "United World Government" clearly expresses the concept of "equality of all mankind".

But with the development of the times, this has become a piece of paper.

However, the influence is still there.

At least in public, these upper-class people will not blatantly discriminate against 'Xiacheng District residents'.

Some elite areas, and even institutions in the Tianqiong District, will also hire poor people to work for "some special reasons".

But these are few examples.

If the upper class really "mingles" with the poor, they will definitely be ridiculed and alienated by others in the circle.

Dr. Alex's professional standards are indeed very high, but in the huge city of Rhodes, he is far more than just an extraordinary doctor.

Especially the residents of Tianqiong District have no worries about lack of people to serve them.

Therefore, the final result of the 'negotiation' is actually only valid for the slums.

From the emergence of the conflict to its final conclusion, Dr. Alex, who was originally the protagonist of the incident, never participated.

Just go to the 'Angel Clinic' and he will treat you.

Perhaps Dr. Alex didn't know that Angel Clinic already had an 'invisible' 'ticket'.

‘This Doctor Alex is a very good person.’ Jock, who was sitting on the flying bus and browsing the mission information through the eyeglass, thought to himself.

He continued to read.

The residents of the nearby slums gradually got to know Dr. Alex as a person through long-term contact with him.

Professionalism, equality, generosity...

These people who have been treated by Dr. Alex wish they could give him all the praises in the world.

However, Dr. Alex also has ‘reverse scale’.

That is ‘must be punctual’!

Whether it is for himself or his patients, Mr. Alex has such strict requirements.

If the patient does not attend the appointment on time, he will be directly entered into the blacklist of the Angel Clinic and will be permanently disqualified from seeing a doctor here.

To this end, Dr. Alex explains:

"Time is life! I won't treat people who don't cherish life!"

This is also the reason why the patient who came for a follow-up visit immediately called the police after discovering something unusual in the clinic.

He is also a regular customer of the clinic.

In all these years, he has never seen Dr. Alex fail to keep time.

Besides, the hospital seems to be ‘paralyzed’!

‘Almost paranoid persistence.’ Jock commented in his mind.

After the patient called the police, the nearby police station with jurisdiction over the area immediately dispatched police officers to investigate.

This is the 'star' clinic in the jurisdiction, and even the police station has many people who have been treated by Dr. Alex.

But next...

Things are getting serious!

A nine-member police team never came out after entering the Angel Clinic and lost contact with the police station.

What’s even weirder is,

"Angel Clinic"...
Chapter completed!
