This kind of thing is not something that can be solved by simply changing into the clothes of the poor. The injuries are too serious and too obvious. It is impossible for those black doctors not to see the problem, and they will ask for all kinds of exorbitant prices at that time.
Of course, it's not completely without benefits. Even though they charge outrageous prices and their medical skills are poor, they will at least keep their clients' secrets. Of course, this is the only way they can survive in the slums.
No one would trust a black doctor who has poor medical skills, charges outrageous prices and is not tight-lipped. After all, they serve not only the gangs in the slums, but also some people like them who are being hunted for some special reasons and have to hide in the slums.
Therefore, that group of guys advocated the code of conduct of not opening for a year and then making a living for three years after opening.
If a black doctor wants to have the best of both worlds, he will generally disappear that night. It is even hard to say whether he was reported or the other party did it.
So to be a black doctor, you don’t have to have good medical skills, you can be greedy in asking prices, but you must be tight-lipped, which may not necessarily determine whether you can find business.
"I guess the commission this time will basically be used to cover it." Franca sighed. She guessed that the group of black doctors would definitely offer a sky-high price next time.
After all, there were already two waves of people coming to their location, not to mention other places.
And at this time, three injured people found the black doctors and asked them to treat them? Not to mention that they were all cunning black doctors, even a fool could see that there was a connection.
It is inevitable that they will ask for an exorbitant price. If it is really a coincidence, it doesn’t matter. If you think it is too expensive, you can just turn left. Anyway, it is you who is hurt, not them.
As for whether these guys will ask for too high a price and receive direct death threats, they always have ways to deal with it. For example, the moment you enter, several kids around you will have seen you.
By that time, even if you have received treatment but have not paid, or even if you are ruthless and kill the doctor, no one can say whether the group of people chasing you will know that you are here.
"Jessica, it's difficult for both of us to move, so you're the only one who can do it." Razer looked at Jessica and took out a booklet from his clothes. "This is the contact information of the black doctors in this mobile city."
"Contact them based on the situation, and be careful." Razer took the booklet and warned Jessica, who immediately became nervous, "You must stay confident. Although those black doctors are greedy, they also know how to control themselves. If you show cowardice or even fear, they will raise the price several times."
"That's right, that's right~" Franka also turned her head and looked at Jessica, "Our little cutie Jessica can act a little more aggressive when negotiating the price, and you can even put your gun to his head~"
"Well, that wouldn't be good." Jessica looked at the two people in front of her worriedly, "What if he doesn't treat us?"
"Don't worry, little cutie~" Franca smiled at the worried Jessica, "They won't be angry because of this little bargaining tactic. This is to show your military strength so that they won't offer too high a price."
"I, I understand. I will be back soon." Jessica nodded. She knew that the current situation could not be delayed. She picked up the patched old clothes commonly seen in the slums that they had got from the ground and put them on.
Franca looked at Jessica, who was jumping down from the gap, and sighed. She said with some concern, "Is it really okay, little cutie Jessica?"
"Don't worry, we both know Jessica's ability." Razer held up his shield and walked to the gap with difficulty. "Take a break. Those black doctors probably won't come to our house in person. We still have to be careful when we go there."
"makes sense."

"Oh, I see." Angel nodded after listening to Razer's story. "So you were lucky enough to run into Xiyue who was holding a free clinic there?"
"Yes." Franca nodded. "We are indeed very lucky. If it weren't for Doctor Xiyue, we would have been slaughtered to death by the black doctors."
"Yeah." Jessica nodded and said to Xiyue who was lost in thought, "I was ready to put in my snack money for several months..."
--------------
"Huh, calm down." Jessica pulled the tattered cloak covering her body, so that her face was better hidden in the shadow under the hood.
Then, Jessica took out the small notebook she had given him temporarily from her pocket: "Look for people with blue diamond marks on their clothes. The code is that the weather today seems bad. The answer is that the weather today is indeed bad, and it may rain heavily soon..."
Jessica flipped through the pages and found that the contents were essentially the same, with only some differences in the codes and symbols. Of course, the people being looked for were not the black doctor himself, but some intermediaries found by the black doctor himself.
"Just take your time to search."
Just then, a voice was heard from the side, and Jessica immediately hid behind the shadow of the building alertly.
"Hey, have you heard? A kind man is coming~"
"Oh, you mean the doctor who came here to die a few days ago?"
"Yeah, coming to a place like this for free medical treatment, ah, I don't know which gang would suddenly become unhappy with that guy~"
"Doctor? Free clinic?" Jessica, who was hiding in the shadows, twitched her ears slightly and poked her head out to look at the two people chatting.
"That shouldn't be the case. So what can I say? That doctor did a good thing. Besides, didn't she say that she would only prescribe a seven-day treatment and pack up and leave as soon as the seven days were up?"
"Hey, you know it so clearly?"
"I was there when the doctor came. Let me tell you, the doctor was absolutely beautiful. Not only that, but her medical skills were also very high."
The two gradually left while chatting, and Jessica, who was hiding in the shadows, quietly poked her head out.
Maybe she could go over there and take a look, and then look for those black doctors in the process. Of course, this was just an alternative plan. There must be a lot of people gathered there, and there would be no shortage of spies among them.
After all, having too many people is both a bad thing and a good thing. If they can blend in with the poor people who also go to see the doctor, it will be difficult to find them.
As for the second point, Jessica heard that the doctor seemed to be very skilled. If possible, Franka and Razer would naturally need better medical treatment.
Most of those black doctors are unable to provide adequate medical care. They can only help you stop the bleeding, take some medicine, sew up at most, and give you some painkillers made from Originium worm venom.
That is, the medical services that most black doctors can provide can only be said to be useful, but better than nothing.
"Let's investigate the situation first."
--------------
Jessica hid in the crowd with a cloak around her and slowly approached the free clinic. Just as Jessica expected, many people came to join in the fun.
And because there are quite a few infected people, many people here are also wearing cloaks like him, so it is easier to disguise.
"Go away!"
At this moment, Jessica heard a loud shout, and the people around her instantly dispersed after hearing the shout and no longer gathered together, for fear of getting into any special trouble.
Because Jessica was a step slow, she was squeezed to the periphery of the crowd. Then she saw a man holding a bow and arrow, pointing at a group of mercenaries.
"I'll say it again, get out of here!" She was wearing a white coat and holding a bow and arrow, facing a large group of mercenaries in front of her. "This is a free clinic. Only patients and doctors can be here. The person you are looking for is not here."
Chapter 88: Unintentional Rescue
"Ha!" The leading mercenary looked at Xiyue mockingly, "What's wrong? Little bird, aren't you afraid of death?"
"This is a free clinic. There are only patients here." Xiyue looked at the mercenaries in front of her coldly, "If you want to find someone, get out of here."
"The patient could be the person we're looking for." The mercenary put the heavy sword on his shoulder and looked at Xiyue. "Besides, what do these patients have to do with our kind-hearted doctor who came to a place like this for free medical treatment?"
"That person..." Jessica looked at the mercenary holding the heavy sword and squeezed into the crowd with some fear, "He is the one who injured Senior Razer."
Jessica looked at the bandage on the mercenary's chest: "Can Senior Razer's shot be so fast that he can act freely?"
"Likewise, I don't care what relationship they have with you, even if there is someone you are looking for among them?" Xiyue looked at the mercenaries who were ready to move, "Here, they are my patients, not the people you are looking for."
"Looking for death!" Another mercenary looked at the thin doctor standing in front of them with displeasure. Even though she had a bow and arrow in her hand, couldn't she see the situation clearly? There were so many people here, what was she thinking?
Besides, where on earth can such a kind person be found? Is she here to make fun of me? Even if there is, she would only appear in a large family that lives in luxury, living in a small area of the rich people's district in a mobile city.
How could such a person come to such a slum, become a doctor, and provide free medical services here? Without a single bodyguard around him?
So the mercenaries concluded that this guy was just pretending to be nice to them. Once they forcefully entered to search, this guy would immediately retreat. He couldn't get paid for the free clinic, and at least he didn't see her taking the money, so why risk her life?
So the mercenary strode forward with his weapon, wanting to directly lift the quilt of the patient on the nearest bed in front of him.
At the last moment, he heard the unique sound of a feather arrow breaking through the air. The feather arrow hit his chest in an instant. The feather arrow broke at the moment of hitting, and the water that made up the feather arrow wrapped it up like a big net.
"Ah!" The mercenary was wrapped in the running water and fell to the ground. No matter what, it was meaningless to struggle in the water. He fell to the ground like a useless maggot.
"Damn it, Doctor, you're looking for death!" When the other mercenaries saw that Xiyue actually dared to fight back, they immediately became excited and prepared to rush forward.
But there was another sound of an arrow breaking through the air, and a feather arrow hit a building next to them, and then a cold feeling suddenly hit their bodies.
When they turned around to look, in just a short moment, huge ice blocks formed on the surface of the building that was hit.
"So powerful." Jessica stared at the frozen building in a daze. It's not like she hadn't seen some powerful warlocks when she was at Black Steel International.
However, they all require a certain amount of casting time, or require burying raw stone circuits in the surrounding area in advance, or require chanting spells to destroy a building in an instant.
The doctor in front of him, like shooting an arrow at random, could freeze the building, which was a completely different matter, and...
Jessica turned her head and looked at Xiyue. She didn't know if it was Jessica's illusion, or maybe it was the sunlight reflected by the ice that froze the building. The doctor seemed to be shrouded in light, shining in Jessica's eyes.
"This is the last warning." Another arrow slowly appeared on the bowstring. Xiyue looked at the vigilant mercenary in front of her and said, "Now, get out. I don't mind having a few more patients who need treatment for hypothermia later."
The leading mercenary looked at Xiyue, then looked at the frozen building next to him with the corner of his eye and slowly retreated: "A warlock, and a very powerful one at that. No wonder he dared to hold a free clinic in a place like this."
"Let's go and drag that unlucky guy away with me."
"Yes, yes, yes." The mercenaries around nodded hurriedly, and two brave ones bravely pulled the unlucky guy out of the water.
After all, they are a group of mercenaries who do things for money. If their employers ask them to recover items, they will do whatever it takes. After all, their profession is one that puts their heads on the line.
But under this premise, reducing unnecessary losses and conflicts is also their way of survival. They can fight desperately, but the prerequisite is that the mission goal is right in front of them.
As for the current situation, although they may receive treatment here at the free clinic, it is not worth taking the risk. If the doctor in front of them is trying to prevent them from entering, then it is best to leave quickly as he said. There is no need to fight here. This is an unnecessary risk.
They live a life where they have to put their heads on the belt, but they are not stupid enough to sacrifice their lives for such unnecessary risks.
Anyway, according to reason, the doctor will only stay here for seven days. We just need to send someone to monitor here. The patients are here. Does he want to take care of other places?
"This will be a safe place." Jessica pulled her hood up as she watched the mercenaries leave. 'We need to quickly bring Senior Razer and Senior Franca here.'
-------------
Jessica carefully returned to the ruins where they had been hiding before, looked around, and quietly climbed up to the second floor through the almost broken stairs.
Then, he jumped over the railing on the second floor, onto a gap in the corridor on the third floor, and successfully reached the third floor.
"I'm back." Jessica entered the room through the gap in the wall and looked at Razer and Franka inside.
"Hey, ahem..." Franca looked at Jessica who came in quietly, "How is it? Did you find the person? Did he ask for a sky-high price?"
Jessica shook her head: "That... person was not found. I found a safe place."
"Hmm?" Razer looked at Jessica strangely. If it weren't for that group of black doctors, where else could be considered safe in such a place? A small public clinic? Such a place would have been monitored long ago, right?
Being stared at by Razer, Jessica instantly became nervous again: "Well, that..."
"Okay, Razer, ahem, let's hear what Jessica has to say." Franca smiled as she watched Jessica getting nervous again. "Take a deep breath, don't be nervous. We believe in your judgment. Speak slowly."
"Huh..." Jessica took a deep breath. "Well, it's like this. Not far from here, a doctor is holding a free clinic..."
Jessica slowly told Razer and Franka everything she had seen at the free clinic.
After listening to Jessica's description, Franca couldn't help but be a little surprised: "What a rare good person..."
As far as Franka knew, although the doctors were kind, if they were not kind, no one would leave their safe mobile city and come to this wilderness to practice medicine.
However, while providing free medical services in the slums, they were also willing to forcibly drive away mercenaries who were causing trouble, instead of just sitting back and watching. Common sense shows that there is actually no relationship between patients and doctors, and in the case of free medical services, there is not even a customer-client relationship.
Why would the other party take such a big risk? Even if he has great power, this kind of thing is unreasonable. It can be said that the doctor can get nothing.
In this situation, Franca could only say that a good person actually appeared in this world, and a rare good person at that.
"What do you think, Razer?" After Franka finished her sigh, she looked at Razer standing beside her, "Those mercenaries won't give up. There must be a lot of spies near the free clinic. Do we want to take this risk?"
"This is a risk worth taking." Razer stood up with his shield propped up, "Both of our injuries, especially yours, require better medical treatment."
"Those black doctors can't provide us with anything. This is a risk we can take."
"That's true." Franca nodded, then looked at Jessica: "Come on, little cutie, help me up."
"Oh, here comes Senior Franka." Jessica hurried forward and helped Franka up from the wooden board.
Oh, right, wait." Franca suddenly said, and raised her hand with difficulty to point at the bag in the corner, "I brought some disguise things, all of which are hair dyes. There won't be too little eyeliner over there."
"It's better not to treat it then. Once you go out, you'll be ambushed again."
Razer raised an eyebrow: "You still brought this thing?"
"Just in case." Isn't this a normal thing? "Franka sat on the wooden board and shrugged, "Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up."
"Good good."
-----------
After a while, the three of them finally completed their disguises. Franka changed all her clothes into old ones, and dyed her hair a very conspicuous golden color.
The same goes for the tail behind it, which has turned into a somewhat dark gold color. For the sake of naturalness, Razer even used white at the tip of the tail.
As for Razer himself, he dyed his cool blue hair into white. I don’t know if it’s because he used it too much, but the white hair seems to be able to reflect light.
Jessica, who had changed into old clothes, touched her tail that was dyed yellow pitifully. Of course, Jessica's hair was also completely dyed yellow by Razer.
"Senior Franca, can this color be washed off?" Jessica pitifully put the scar patch on her cheek, "And this patch..."
"Don't worry, don't worry~" Franka touched her tail, which had now turned golden, to confirm that it would not fade. "I definitely won't buy the kind of dye that can't fade. This is for camouflage, not for dyeing my own hair."
Then, after Franca raised her hand to make sure the color would not fade, she took out a box of contact lenses from the bag beside her. After choosing from them, she took out a pair of purple contact lenses and put them on herself.
Franka blinked and finally looked at Razer: "How is it? Can Razer still see it?"
Razer carefully examined the current Franca and the pitiful Jessica beside him: "It's basically hard to tell, but there's still no way to disguise race, so it still needs to be covered up to some extent."
Razer on the side picked up the tattered cloak on the ground and put it on the two of them, then changed into his own tattered clothes and put on the cloak, then looked at the shield in his hand and pondered for a while.
