Chapter 64 Something is wrong

There are only two buses a day from the Northwest Military Region to Haishi.

There's one bus at 8 AM and another at 12 PM, and it takes almost half a day and six hours to get to Haishi.

The bus cannot stop midway through the journey, and nobody wants to take such a long bus ride unless it's something important. Usually, if we need to buy something, we ask the soldiers in the neighboring military camp to help us buy it.

Upon hearing Wen Ci's words, a cacophony of voices erupted in the hospital's duty room. Wen Ci's eyes crinkled into a smile as she softly said, "Write down what you want to buy on a list, and Dr. Yu will bring it over in a bit."

"okay."

A few minutes later, Wen Ci went out with a bag on her back. The bag contained two boxes of instant noodles and a small thermos. She would have to eat lunch in the car.

Instant noodles are both delicious and convenient. Wen Ci ran into Yu Qing as soon as she left the family compound. Her eyes widened as she looked at the long list in Yu Qing's hand.

"You're bringing so much stuff?"

"OK."

"Let me see." Wen Ci took the list, which mostly listed things girls needed that were easy to carry. She said with a gentle smile:

"Dr. Yu, is it okay if I eat instant noodles in the car today?"

“Okay.” Yu Qing paused, looked up to meet Wen Ci’s eyes, and said calmly, “Wen Ci, don’t be so polite, just call me Yu Qing.”

"it is good."

Before even reaching the military district station, Wen Ci saw from afar that the bus driver was holding a wrench, crawling under the bus, and had removed a tire next to him.

Wen Ci immediately sensed something was wrong.

They can only return before evening if they take the earliest bus in the morning; otherwise, they will miss the midday bus and have to stay overnight in Haishi.

The guesthouse required a certificate from their work unit, and by the time they received it, they had missed the last bus at noon. Approaching, Wen Ci saw that the right wheel of the bus had been removed, and the rim inside the tire had been taken out. She half-squatted on the ground and asked, "Sir, can it still move?"

The driver poked his head out from under the car, his face covered in black oil stains. He waved his hand and said, "We can't move. The tires got punctured by something."

As he spoke, the driver spat on the ground: "I don't know if I've encountered a ghost, but my tires have gone flat three times in a row since I drove here from Haishi."

Wen Ci narrowed his eyes slightly. On the way back to the Northwest Military Region, the bus's wheels were punctured by sharp objects three times in a row.

A woman's intuition told her that something was wrong!
In later generations, frequent tire punctures were generally caused by human error. Furthermore, there were always specialized repair shops within several kilometers, and they were expensive.

The road leading to the Northwest Military Region is surrounded by desolate Gobi Desert. Since it's a vital route for the Northwest Military Region, we must be vigilant.

Wen Ci slowly asked, "Master, did you report this to the military camp?"

The driver's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Wen Ci meant. He then crawled out from under the car, dusted himself off, and said, "The young lady is right. I have to report this to my superiors."

After the driver left, Wen Ci and Yu Qing looked at each other in tacit agreement.

Wen Ci asked, "Then you're going back to work?"

"Okay, I'll go back and cancel my leave request first."

Wen Ci wasn't planning to go to work today. She felt much better, but her walking posture was a bit strange, making it inconvenient for her to give injections or change dressings for patients.

As a doctor, Yu Qing could tell that she was acting strangely, but she didn't point it out. With a slight smile in her eyes, they parted ways on the alleyway at the station.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the family compound, Wen Ci spotted a brand-new bicycle next to the guardhouse.
