After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1080

Next to report was the newest Elder, Volohov, reporting about the status of their medical facilities.

Volohov had been promoted to an Elder a couple of months ago, though he was serving as the effective Elder even before that.

He had also reached level 10, with his wife at level 9, awakening the Healer Profession soon after. His wife was also a water elementalist, so it was expected she’d awaken the same profession eventually.

Interestingly, because of his specialisation in Internal Medicine, the level of skill he inherited was superior to Sheila’s. He could practically be an MRI by himself!

To compare, Sheila’s could roughly see the cells, while Volohov could see the details of the organelles.

These green-tagged professionals were really something else!

Anyway, the awakening of such a skill inspired Volohov to work harder. He was even more hard-working than the younger generation.

Other than Volohov, the hospital also hired and awakened 2 more healers during this time, all of whom were from the people who had migrated along with him.

Each department position had been filled and even the nurses were not lacking. Of course, not everyone was a medicinal practitioner in Terran, but many of them were trained.

There was even a batch of trainee nurses among the aborigines. Some were actually from Umi’s group, who had lived as prostitutes their whole lives. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

The opening for trainees was heaven-sent for them. They only needed to have a quick wit, a good head on their shoulders, and a genuine desire to care for others.

They… had been raised to care for others, and their sharp minds allowed them to survive in an occupation where saying one wrong thing could get them killed.

Although not all of the former prostitutes applied or even ended up passing, the fact that there were a few who did was indicative enough that they could change their lives.

From then on, the women had tried various jobs to find what fit them well. While there were a lot of failures—some were even fired due to various (but valid) reasons—but after so many months most of them did find decent jobs they could proudly say were their own.

Not everyone, but it was already progress.

Volohov also encouraged the formation of clinics along every main avenue and street. Although they were not special buildings, the personnel assigned should be skilled enough to do their jobs.

These clinics would specialize in first aid, emergencies, traumas, and other simpler ailments. During wars, a couple of minutes delay in treatment could mean life or death, and having ready places to treat the injured was the priority.

Garan said that they had hundreds of guards who had landed level 15, and they had been holding back their training to keep from upgrading prematurely. At the same time, they were also looking forward to the upgrade.

Many of these Level 15s had been stuck to internal order duty for weeks and they were really itching to fight!

The average level of monsters in Towns—in contrast to the Levels 7 to 8 of Villages—was level 12 to 15, which were good levels for enemies if they wanted to grow.

Although it was definitely a bit worrying to increase the level of the mobs outside, their current strength should be able to handle it.

For the weaponry, Eugene reported that there were dozen of new cannons that had been built. There were also giant crossbows erected at equidistant spaces around the battlement, adding force not much inferior to sentries’. They had a few long bows before, but this was a much stronger and deterrent force to add to their walls.

The handguns were still in the testing phase at this time, and the progress was slow but steady. They still needed a material that could handle the force created by such a small hand-held explosive weapon, so it would still take a while before the guards could get a hold of it.
