The Dimensional Book of Collapse

"How can we transport the wounded like this? If things go wrong..."

Natasha hurriedly put down the tray in her hand, took out some alcohol bandages and suture needles from the cabinet, and hurried to Jim who was lying on the bed, stopping halfway through her words.

Because she found that there was no bleeding from Jim's wound, but there was a lot of blood on his legs, which had stopped bleeding now. Maybe... there was no more blood to bleed.

But Natasha discovered that Jim's breathing was steady and he was not in a state where he had no blood to bleed.

Although she was surprised, Natasha quickly cleaned the wound, sutured it with a needle, wrapped it with a bandage and put on a splint. After all the operations, a long time had passed.

"Sister Natasha, wipe your sweat."

Xier, who was standing by, held the handkerchief in one hand and handed it to Natasha.

"Thank you, little sister."

After a long period of stitching and wound treatment, Natasha's forehead was covered with sweat. Of course, Qin Mo felt that a big reason was that she was wearing too thick clothes. After all, it was very stuffy underground. Although it was some distance away from the mine, the temperature was not cold.

Anna also hurriedly thanked Natasha, and then said apologetically: "Doctor Natasha, I don't have any money now, medical expenses..."

"It's okay. We can make it up to you when we have money. I've put a splint on Jim's leg. Although he can walk, he still can't work. When he wakes up, you can take him back."

Natasha spoke gently to Anna.

"Thank you, Dr. Natasha."

After dealing with the wounded, Natasha looked at Qin Mo and Xier.

"You two are probably not from the Lower Town."

Because of some information Anna had provided before, Qin Mo didn't feel surprised that Natasha knew that they were not from the lower city.

"Yes, my name is Qin Mo, and this is my sister, Xier. We are travelers who travel around in search of star cores and the Star Dome Train. I wonder if Sister Natasha has heard of it?"

Natasha in front of him exuded the charm of a mature woman. Judging from her age, even if she was not thirty, she must be in her twenties. In short, it would be no problem for Qin Mo or Xier to call her sister.

"The Star Core and the Star Train?"

Natasha shook her head. "If it's a name you haven't heard of, maybe you can ask the people at Dihuo. If it's something from the lower city, they'll know about it."

"Do you know about underground fire?"

Qin Mo nodded: "I have a general understanding. Where can I find the people of Dihuo?"

"Members of the Underworld Fire often come to my clinic. You can just wait here for a while. Speaking of which..."

Natasha looked at Xier: "This little sister is called Xier, right?"

"Yes, Sister Natasha, my name is Xi'er Fuleai."

Xier bowed slightly to Natasha. Natasha looked at Qin Mo and Xier's hands for a while, but did not say anything. Instead, she continued.

"What a coincidence! The member of the Dihuo group that often comes to my place is also called Xier, and he looks very similar to this Xier sister."

"Xier also heard Sister Anna say that on the way here, Xier also wants to meet that sister."

Natasha looked at the weak Xier and said, "But the character of Xier here is completely different from that of Xier's sister. You will know when you meet her."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Qin Mo, did you treat the wound on Jim's body just now?"

Seeing Natasha focusing her attention on him, Qin Mo nodded and said, "Yes, I learned some tricks during my travels. They are just simple ways to stop bleeding. They are not worth mentioning. If you really want to heal it, you still need professional treatment."

"Mr. Qin Mo, you are being too modest. That is not a trivial trick. But it is also thanks to your help, Mr. Qin Mo, that Jim was able to make it to the clinic. Jim's family would like to express their gratitude to you."

Natasha bowed slightly.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. Doctor Natasha, do you know everyone here?"

Natasha didn't expect Qin Mo to say something like this, but she still replied softly, "Yes, after all, Panyan Town is not very big. The residents here have basically come to me for consultation for more than ten years."

The communication with Natasha did not last long because she had some patients to deal with.

However, those patients were not in emergency situations, so Jim's more serious injuries were given priority.

Because they had to wait for the Earth Fire in the clinic, Qin Mo and Xier couldn't just watch others busy, so they took the initiative to help Natasha.

Although Natasha was very curious about why the two of them kept holding hands together, and that helping in this way was not only inefficient but also troublesome, she did not ask any more questions.

Qin Mo actually took this opportunity to observe the only doctor in the downtown area.

After all, Anna said a lot of bad things about Natasha in front of them.

But based on some of the situations just now, Qin Mo felt that this woman named Natasha was not the kind of person who would do anything to compete as Anna said.

Moreover, the other party's clinic had so many patients that she was completely overwhelmed. But even so, the other party did not treat the patient perfunctorily and just gave him an IV and left.

Instead, he carefully inquired about the recent condition of each patient, and after examining them, he arranged treatment measures. Some were allowed to go home to rest, some were prescribed medicine, and some needed to stay here for observation.

Even after sending away today's patients, Qin Mo still didn't see anyone from Dihuo.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why no one from the Underworld Fire came today. It's getting late now. Why don't you stay in a hotel for one night and come back tomorrow. If I see anyone from the Underworld Fire, I will help you greet them."

Natasha said apologetically. Natasha's attitude was very sincere and didn't seem fake.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Natasha."

Having said that, Qin Mo prepared to take Xier away.

"please wait for a moment."

Natasha took out something that looked like coins from the drawer.

There is a golden outer ring on the outside of the circle, and the inner ring is silver-white metal with a shield-like mark on it.

"Take these Winter City shields as payment for your help today."

Winterfell Shield, is that the currency here?

After Qin Mo accepted the Winter City Shield, Natasha continued, "Go in that direction after you go out, then turn right after going downhill, and then turn right again. There is a place called Goethe Hotel, which is the only hotel here."

"OK, thanks."

After Qin Mo and Xier left, Natasha stared at the place where they left in a daze.

"I wonder where these outsiders came from? They don't look like bad people. I hope they don't bring any trouble to the downtown area."

On the other side, Qin Mo and Xier were walking on the way to the Goethe Hotel. Along the way, Qin Mo discovered that the level of technology in this place was very strange.

When he was in the mine, he saw a lot of auxiliary robots, and the tools used for mining were not ordinary mining tools.

But whether in Natasha's clinic or the residents seen on the street, the level of technology they use in their lives is not high.

It's just like……

The gap of civilization.

"Has this world experienced some major changes, causing a lot of technology to be lost?"

As we all know, the development of human technology is more for the convenience of life, so the development of technology should be more convenient for the people.

In a war-torn country, technology will be madly invested in weapons.

The technology that Qin Mo sees here is focused on mining.

This is clearly unnatural.

"Brother Qin Mo, Xier doesn't think Sister Natasha is a bad person."

Xier, who was holding Qin Mo's hand, suddenly said to Qin Mo.

"I think so too. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

He also saw how Anna begged Natasha, and Natasha did not make things difficult for them just because she had no money.

You know, not to mention the cost of craftsmanship, just the medicines and materials consumed in treating Jim are already very expensive.

After all, this is the lower city area where supplies are scarce.

If supplies are scarce, then food and medicine are definitely the most scarce things.

Moreover, you can learn a lot from observing a person's character.

After observing for an afternoon, Qin Mo found that Natasha was a very respected person. Of course, she was the only doctor in the downtown area, which was understandable.

But she is not only respected by patients, but also very popular with children.

Some children came to see her in the afternoon. Unfortunately, because she was too busy, Natasha didn't have time to accompany the children. However, the children's love for Natasha was obvious.

Although children's perception of the world may be simple and they may be easily deceived, they will not flatter someone they don't like just because of their status.

"Well, it doesn't have much to do with us. Xier, you have to remember one thing."

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Mo temporarily gave up thinking.

"Brother Qin Mo, you say."

"To this world and the people in this world, we are just passers-by. After we leave here, we may not be able to come back again, so parting may be a farewell forever."

After listening to Qin Mo's words, Xier lowered her head and thought for a while.

"Xi'er understands."

"Well, of course, I'm not saying that you can't make friends, but you just need to be mentally prepared for this."

Qin Mo added, "Let's go, Xier must be hungry."

Xier touched her stomach and thought for a while: "I think I'm hungry. I haven't felt hungry for a long time in the Quantum Sea. It's a bit strange."

"Then let's go eat. It's a good opportunity to taste the delicious food here."

The two followed the road, asking people along the way, and soon found the Goethe Hotel that Natasha had mentioned.

It was also dinner time, and some people were eating in the restaurant.

Qin Mo looked at the food on the diners' tables in the restaurant.

"Uh...Xier, look at that...it actually has a tail."

Xier followed Qin Mo's gaze and saw the food that had just been served to another diner's table. Although the head had been removed, one could still see that its body was somewhat similar to a lizard.

"Brother Qin Mo, that...could it be a lizard?"

Chapter 17: If you have no choice, why not cook for yourself?

Qin Mo and Xier walked around the restaurant and saw a lot of food, among which the most common ones were a lizard-like food and a kind of stewed meat wrapped in bread in an iron can.

The second was a kind of fried food that looked like crab, about the size of a fist. Qin Mo watched a diner stuff it into his mouth with the shell, then chew it and swallow it whole.

The two of them walked around before they saw the restaurant's menu.

"The rock-burning olm should be the one we saw at the beginning."

Xier nodded beside her. Although she had never seen a cave salamander, she roughly knew what it was.

"Stewed salamander meat in a tin can...it turns out that's also cave salamander meat."

Qin Mo thought it was just ordinary stewed meat, but when he thought about it carefully, there could be no animal husbandry in this underground, and without animal husbandry, where would the meat come from?

Then there are fried rock crabs, jewel lizard skewers and other food names that don’t sound good at all.

"Xier... do you want to try it?"

Qin Mo looked at the menu and had no intention of trying anything.

"Well, Xier thinks..."

Just when Xier was about to say something, a woman walked in from outside.

"Madam, I caught a few more. See how much they cost."

As the woman spoke, another woman came out from the kitchen and saw the cage in the woman's hand: "I caught another olm, but the price of olm has dropped today."

"A price reduction?"

"Yes, many people have gone to catch olms recently, so there is no shortage for now."

"Ah, forget it, forget it, now that they've been captured, just look at how many Winterfell shields we've collected."

The two of them watched as the proprietress of the Goethe Hotel completed a cave olm transaction in front of them.

Looking at the animal in the cage with slippery skin that looked like a snake and a lizard, Xier turned and looked at Qin Mo.
