Chapter 1491: A Very Responsible Man

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“We weren’t in the same department, but we still drank together a few times and chatted when we saw each other. I remember the last time I saw him, the people in the hospital advised him that there were too many zombies and shouldn’t go out.

“If we couldn’t even protect our children, how could we protect other people’s children? But he said that he didn’t have his children to protect, and he couldn’t bear to see those children without parents not being protected, so he had to protect those children. So he set off and did it. He saved many children who were not protected by adults.

“We also wanted to protect those children, but we had our children to protect. Therefore, we became cowards and hid in a safe place with our children and families. He was the only one outside saving the children’s lives…”

A man who had lost a large piece of flesh from fighting zombies said with a choked voice, “At that time, we were all hiding together, so we also learned the news of his self-destruction. However, when we saw the fresh faces of the children he saved, we decided to go all out and not just care about our families… Commander Shao is right. He was the one who united all of us. That’s why we are so united against the zombies. Our base is also the most united among all the bases because we all have Doctor Bai in our hearts.”

Even though Xue Yan listened as if listening to someone else’s story, he was also quite moved by what Bai Yu did.

These few ordinary friends of Doctor Bai said a lot of things. It was as if these words had been suppressed in their hearts for many years. Finally, there was a gap to vent and release them. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just listened attentively until it was time for lunch. Then, they went to the cafeteria to eat.

During the meal, these people were still talking about their relationship with Doctor Bai. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan listened attentively.

As they listened, they finished up their lunch. Then, they heard the 52-year-old man with white hair drink the last mouthful of soup in his bowl and say in amusement, “That hospital was run by Bai Yu’s relative, so Bai Yu took leave after the event and didn’t ask for leave in advance. I was the director of Bai Yu’s department at that time. Although I was a director, I was still quite timid. Plus, the hospital treated me well, so I didn’t want to change hospitals. Actually, I wanted to be promoted at that time and suck up to the people above. At that time, I chose to turn a blind eye to his behavior.”

Why did he always take leave after the event instead of taking leave in advance?

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan caught the main point and looked at each other.

“You said he was very responsible in the hospital just now, so why doesn’t he always ask for leave in advance?” Jiang Yue asked. “Does he always have something important to do?”

The white-haired man shook his head. “I don’t know. It wasn’t that he didn’t ask for leave in advance. In the beginning, he was in the hospital every day and lived in the hospital. The hospital was like his own home. His attendance rate was especially high. It was probably two years before he self-destructed. Then, he started to disappear all of a sudden. Sometimes, he would disappear for a day, for two days, sometimes for a few days before returning. Once, he disappeared for more than three days. I couldn’t get through to his phone and couldn’t find any other way to contact him.”
