Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 256：Into the Wilderness for the First Time! (2)

This time, Jonah and Celia were dumbfounded.

Even Vivian looked at Charlotte with surprise.

"Uh... Doctor, are you saying that you'll go into the wilderness with us tomorrow morning?" Jonah repeated his words.

"Yes," Charlotte nodded.

"The wilderness is very dangerous. It would be best if you didn't take any risks, even on the outskirts. There are terrifying monsters and even some malicious individuals lurking there," Celia urged anxiously.

"Isn't it true that many mercenary groups have medical units? Although I don't know magic, I should be able to serve as a good medic," Charlotte looked at them, smiling. "I'll bring a few more magic charms and I won't be a burden to you."

"But..." Celia was still worried.

"Enough, Celia. It's relatively safe to go to the Giant Boulder Valley. We'll be there with the doctor, like bringing a doctor to the wilderness to see the world," Jonah decided. "Doctor, we'll leave in the morning, as soon as it's light out. We'll come to your clinic, remember to change into some clean clothes, and wear armor if you have any."

"Alright, see you tomorrow morning," Charlotte nodded, watching the siblings leave.

"Boss, are you going into the wilderness tomorrow? I heard it's full of monsters and super dangerous," Vivian followed Charlotte in and asked, puzzled.

"And if you leave early tomorrow, what about the patient? Should I take care of them all?"

"I'll just be going around the outskirts of the wilderness. It's manageable, and the two of them can come and go freely. Adding me won't be a problem," Charlotte looked at her and said, "And as for treating the patients, don't we have you, Doctor Vivian? You're already a qualified doctor, you need to learn to see patients on your own."

"You're right. I'm already a qualified doctor," Vivian puffed out her chest, but quickly worried, "But what if I encounter some critically ill patients that I can't treat?"

"It's okay. I don't have a better solution for those patients either. Life and death are predetermined, so let it be," Charlotte reassured her.

"Well... then you need to be safe. This is a magic charm that Adolf gave me. Maybe you should take it with you for protection," Vivian pulled out two charms and handed them to Charlotte.

One was a Level 5 Ice Seal charm, and the other was a Level 5 Magic Protection Shield charm.

Charlotte looked at Vivian's concerned face and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and shook his head, "No need, I already have some charms with me. You'll need these two charms for protection when I'm not here."

"Alright," Vivian put the charms away.

Charlotte still had a Level 5 Thunderstorm charm in his hand, as well as several Level 4 magic charms for defense. With his newly acquired advanced knight strength, he still had some ability to protect himself in the wilderness.

Jonah was only a Level 3.5 Half-Orc, and Celia was only a Level 2.

They were already experienced adventurers, and following them on a small tour outside the wilderness shouldn't be too risky.

Charlotte wanted to explore the wilderness this time to gain more experience and prepare for future sword training in the mountains.

...

"Brother, how could you agree to bring the doctor into the wilderness? What if something happens to him? How can we take responsibility?" on the way back, Celia complained anxiously.

"Don't worry, we often take that route. As long as we're careful, there shouldn't be a problem," Jonah whistled and said, not worried at all.

Celia sighed but didn't say much.

After all, it was the doctor himself who proposed to go into the wilderness. Jonah couldn't refuse, so he could only make more preparations and try to avoid accidents.

...

Excited, Charlotte didn't sleep at all that night. When it was just getting light outside, he drank two bottles of energy potion, then washed up and prepared three packed lunches in the kitchen.

Roasting a rabbit in the wilderness and eating it was a scenario that only existed in some adventurers' fantasies.

True adventurers wouldn't start a fire and expose their location so easily in the wilderness, let alone waste precious noon time on cooking.

Entering the wilderness at dawn and leaving before dark was a must.

Though Charlotte hadn't been in the wilderness before, he had accumulated a wealth of theoretical knowledge from reading adventurers' autobiographies and novels. He was a true theorist.

Besides the packed lunches, there were also hemostatic potions, cleansing potions, golden stamina potions, and suturing needles in the space ring, just in case of emergencies.

Kasha had also woken up early to help him make the lunches and breakfast.

"Master, please be careful. Kasha will be waiting for you at home," Kasha said as she saw Charlotte off, her eyes red, on the verge of tears.

"Alright," Charlotte smiled and nodded. This girl was sensitive, and although she didn't dissuade him from going, her worries were written all over her face.

Charlotte left and met up with Jonah and Celia.

Jonah wore a set of gray leather armor made from some kind of monster skin, covered in various scratches. He wore a pair of gauntlets.

Celia, still wearing a black bodice and a short skirt, had wheat-colored skin and muscular lines filled with strength, like a cheetah. Behind her, she carried a silver spear, sharp and shiny.

Jonah, once again, assessed Charlotte's appearance. He was dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, quite sharp. He then said, "Doctor, once we enter the wilderness, you must follow our pace and not act on your own or touch anything without permission. The wilderness is full of poisonous substances. Even a leaf or a small bug could take your life."

"I understand," Charlotte nodded.

"Well, let's set off then."

Jonah nodded and led Charlotte.

Jonah and Celia were considered the lower class among adventurers. Due to their half-orc identity, they faced discrimination, so they formed a team of their own. With their abilities, they could only take low-paying tasks and hunt low-level monsters.

They didn't have any mounts suitable for the wilderness, as ordinary horses couldn't handle the complex terrain. They relied solely on their legs to traverse the wilderness.

The streets were already filled with adventurers going to the wilderness, both in groups of three to five, and individual oddities, as well as medium-sized mercenary groups of about a dozen people.

"Look, that's the Tiger Head Mercenary Group up ahead. Their leader has terrifying Level 5 strength and often leads hunts for powerful monsters," Jonah whispered, pointing to the passing group of mercenaries. His face was full of envy.

Charlotte nodded. He was familiar with them because Mona was their leader.

Mercenary groups like the Tiger Head Mercenary Group would penetrate deeper into the wilderness to hunt for more powerful monsters, and each magic stone they obtained would be worth tens of thousands of copper coins.

Jonah chatted with Charlotte along the way, giving him insights into the lives of lower-level adventurers beyond what was written in books. He had gained some genuine knowledge from their real experiences.

Coming out of the abyss, the outside world didn't get bright until much later.

Two paths diverged, one leading to Calva and the other to the wilderness.

There were also many adventurers heading into the wilderness from Calva, including some large and medium-sized mercenary groups of about a dozen people.

Powerful adventurers were usually mounted, and Charlotte even saw someone riding a flying mount into the wilderness. He couldn't see their face clearly, but their strength was formidable.

"Entering the wilderness now, we need to be careful," Jonah relaxed when he couldn't see other adventurers anymore.

He smiled and explained, "Sometimes, other adventurers can be more dangerous than the monsters themselves. They resort to any means for a little profit, and will stop at nothing."

Charlotte nodded. Jonah had been attacked by adventurers himself when he first went to the clinic.

The wilderness was a lawless place, where human evil was unleashed without the restraints of laws, resulting in unchecked selfishness.

Nearly every book warned inexperienced adventurers entering the wilderness to be cautious of other adventurers, even their teammates.

Everything that happens in the wilderness is ultimately told by the survivors, and in such a dangerous place, you don't need to come up with overly complicated reasons for someone's death.

With Jonah leading the way, Charlotte noticed that his worries about his ability to keep up disappeared quickly. Whether it was climbing over fallen trees or scrambling over piles of rocks, Charlotte handled it all with ease.

"Your stamina is quite good, Doctor," Jonah couldn't help but turn around and say.

"Oh, perhaps it's because I exercise regularly. Climbing mountains is no problem," Charlotte casually replied, as this level of cross-country travel posed no pressure to him.
