Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL)-Chapter 541 - 540: Reaching the first base southwards 7

I can’t just stop what they wanted to do, but I have to give them some time to think so that they could think of an appropriate limit of how much they could give to others when they wanted to help.

And they also have enough resources to share, so I didn’t stop them. If they really had a very limited supply, then no matter how eager they were at helping others, I would have stopped them already.

So, if they really gave you some, then no need to refuse it because they already thought of it."

"Yes, they’re already discussing it, so there’s no need to worry. Come, I’ll give you free treatment on your wounds," Nathan also said while looking at some of the kids who had obvious open injuries.

Nathan had been talking to their guide about the kids a while ago and it seemed that they were already done talking, so he already had his medical kit with him.

Nathan was always carrying a medical kit with him in his bag, so he didn’t need to disturb Theo, who was also discussing with the other kids.

In fact, the bag that Nathan had always been carrying mostly contained medicine and things that they needed to treat injuries.

As for Camille, who was also a nurse, he was busy with the kids and teaching them something about the conversion of contribution points to goods so that the kids could choose what to give.

Astrid and the others were also not sure about the prices, unlike Camille, who had been roaming around the North Base market as part of his walks with Zam, so he was clearest about the prices of things at the North Base.

The kids were still deciding, which is why Camille was still there and listing the prices of goods.

From their discussion, it seems that the older kids are discussing if it’s good to give them rice, noodles, packed cookies, or other things.

Luciel didn’t listen to their conversation anymore and focused on the kids from the alley that were in front of him.

The kids were clearly a bit hesitant to approach Nathan, but when they saw him opening his medical kit that had bandages and medicines, those who had injuries finally stepped forward.

The boy who talked to them also pulled a younger girl who had injuries but hadn’t moved in front of Nathan.

Nathan also moved fast and immediately started cleaning the wounds and treating the obvious injuries of the kids who lined up in front of him.

"Aren’t those things expensive? You guys aren’t planning to sell us somewhere, are you?" the girl in front of him asked.

"No, why should I even take such a hassle to sell kids? He’s just treating you guys because he happened to see you and because the kids were interested in helping you guys. If he hadn’t seen your injuries, he wouldn’t bother offering free treatment." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Nathan is a good doctor and would always help if it’s really needed, but he also won’t go out of his way treating every injured person, especially if he doesn’t know them or if he was in a different place, as medicine was indeed very expensive.

Even though they still have a lot of medicines, it would still continuously be consumed, especially those that were used for treating wounds.

Production of medicine is still out of the question, so they’re still careful when using the things that they have.

So, if Nathan hadn’t seen the injuries of the kids, he certainly wouldn’t offer free treatment.

"You’re really skeptical about a lot of things, which is good nowadays as it’s still good to be vigilant.

However, don’t ask too many questions of others later, as those who might plan to help would get annoyed because of it.

Of course, even if you don’t ask questions, it’s still good to be vigilant. By the way, how did you end up with the others in this alley?"

"Are you asking why I’m orphaned? Or are you asking why we and the other kids are staying in this specific alley?" the girl asked.

"You can answer both."

"I’m originally from this community. My parents just didn’t return after they went out of the base to look for supplies.

It’s also the same with most of the kids here. We are originally from this community, so I also saw them here before, and that’s why we are staying together.

As for why we ended up in this alley: someone claimed my house and I’m not strong enough to protect it, so I ended up like the others.

We don’t have a place to stay, so we stay here. In fact, we stayed at another place before, but they were taken over by other adults, so we went to this corner."

"I see. So most of you guys actually have houses here? Didn’t you guys get any compensation from the people who got your houses?"

"No, they just forced their way in, so of course they wouldn’t give anything."

"You didn’t report it to those who were managing the base?"

"Some of us tried, but we didn’t get our houses back in the end. Some went to check it, and those people just paid those people off.

We reported it to others again, and those people really let those living in those houses go away, but after some time, other people went to occupy them again.

Then some tried reporting it again, but the person we reported it to got beaten up aside from us, so we gave up reporting about our houses anymore and just look for available alleys to stay at while waiting for relief from the base or look for something to do for some water and bread."

"Tsk. Mr. Guide, look—they actually have houses here but they don’t even have anything to eat.

At least force those people who were occupying their houses for some compensation; even just some food would be fine," Luciel said while looking at the person who acted as their guide.
