Ultraman Noah from Marvel

58. Wanda, corrupted by darkness

After Ji Yuan's base was fully established, Audrey, as the organizer of Doctors Without Borders Sokovia, gradually brought doctors from the original base and personnel from some aid organizations to settle here.

Along with them were some seriously ill patients. The hospital basement was divided into living areas for rescue workers, storage areas for supplies, and areas for patients, and the entire basement was packed to capacity.

However, two days have passed since the base was established, and Wanda and her siblings are still nowhere to be found.

Ji Yuan discovered that the refugees in Sokovia would only come out of their shelters every few days to search for or collect supplies.

Unfortunately, Sokovia never had a completely peaceful period due to Hydra's subtle interference.

It is very dangerous for refugees to come out and search for supplies.

Stray bullets during armed clashes, landmines, and accidental artillery fire can all injure or kill them.

Here, injury is almost a death sentence. Doctors Without Borders' medical supplies are not abundant, and sometimes they even face the risk of being robbed by rebel forces. Medicines are also scarce.

Moreover, given the physical and health limitations of refugees, searching for supplies for extended periods is obviously very difficult; going every few days is a better way to conserve energy and ensure their own safety.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ji Yuan to be a psychologist," Audrey said in surprise, glancing at the psychology book in Ji Yuan's hand.

Ji Yuan smiled. What he held in his hand wasn't a psychology book at all, but rather a disguised version of the Visanti book. Nevertheless, he said, "Actually, I run a psychology clinic in New York, and it's quite well-known."

Audrey nodded admiringly: "To be able to open a clinic in New York, Mr. Ji Yuan's medical skills must be excellent, and his treatment must be very good. His willingness to come to the disaster area shows that he is a person with great compassion."

He then sighed, "Unfortunately, after more than a decade of war, some psychological problems among the people in the disaster area have become a habit, which is hard to say whether it's good or bad."

Ji Yuan closed the book: "I wonder where Dr. Audrey used to work. Judging from how well you arranged everything in the disaster area, you must have already helped many areas."

"Me?" Audrey said with some melancholy, "I used to be the vice president of medical affairs at a hospital. I saw some things that I couldn't accept, and I felt that they insulted my ideal of studying medicine. So I devoted myself to this career, and before I knew it, I had gathered a group of like-minded friends. We've been doing this for more than ten years now."

Ji Yuan glanced at Audrey with some surprise. Anyone who could become a vice dean must have extraordinary abilities, let alone a vice dean of medical affairs. Their medical skills must be top-notch. He never expected that she would become a Doctors Without Borders without hesitation. This is even more admirable.

Just as he was about to say something more, Bronsky walked over and said, "Boss, more refugees have arrived." He winked at him.

Ji Yuan understood immediately.

Audrey also stood up: "Then, Mr. Ji Yuan, let's talk again next time."

Ji Yuan nodded and sat down in his seat, where he was distributing medicine.

Soon, refugees began to enter the base one after another.

Bronsky distributed basic necessities such as food, water, water purification tablets, and waterproof tarpaulins.

Audrey and her companions conducted basic physical health checks on the refugees and distributed basic hygiene products such as soap and sanitary napkins.

In addition, toilets and shower facilities around the hospital are still under construction, and maintaining hygiene is a key factor in preventing disease.

They will only come to Ji Yuan to collect the medicine at the very end.

Actually, distributing medicines was not originally his responsibility.

Later, Audrey suggested that key supplies such as medicine and food should ideally be distributed by men.

After all, refugees are people too, and there are always some with bad intentions. They've encountered things like theft and robbery before, and tall, strong men usually make them think twice.

Moreover, the machine gun Ji Yuan had on the table wasn't just for show; his principles always applied to good people, but not bad ones.

Refugees came and went, and only after this wave of refugees had mostly left did Wanda and Pietro cautiously enter the base.

Their expressions relaxed somewhat when they saw Audrey; they clearly recognized her.

The moment Ji Yuan saw Wanda, his expression froze. In his vision, darkness and crimson intertwined and flowed within Wanda's body, and he could vaguely see a horned figure appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

"It really was Xithon who was behind this. Not only that, but there's also Nightmare."

Ji Yuan observed carefully again and finally confirmed that Wanda's premature awakening was due to Sithon's machinations, with Nightmare also involved. These two old bastards must have some kind of shady deal.

The Dark Embrace of Wanda is currently very severe. To put it more vividly, it's like it's already 90% downloaded, with only 10% left to download.

Once the progress reaches 100%, Wanda will be completely corrupted by darkness and become the vessel through which Sithon comes to the mortal world.

"No wonder the Ancient One told me this herself; the situation is very serious."

If Ji Yuan hadn't judged people not just by their eyes, he wouldn't have been able to recognize Wanda. She was thin, dressed in tattered clothes, with empty, lifeless eyes, her face covered in deliberately applied dust, and even the dust couldn't hide her dark circles.

If you listened with mind-reading ability, you would probably only hear three words: living, revenge, and family.

"This is difficult; we need to take a long-term approach."

Ji Yuan had a headache. Wanda was now a powder keg that could explode at any moment. If he wasn't careful, she would fall into darkness. He could only try to influence her subtly.

"Mr. Ji Yuan, this boy needs to stay here for treatment. He's quite ill, with a high fever, gastroenteritis, and an infection..." Audrey suddenly said.

Ji Yuan snapped out of his reverie and casually asked, "What about the girl who was with him?"

Audrey said with great puzzlement, "His sister is remarkably healthy, but she seems to have some insomnia."

She thought for a moment and then said, "Perhaps I need your help with this."

Ji Yuan nodded and looked at Wanda and Pietro: "Come with me."

After taking a few steps, they turned around and found the two of them still standing in the same spot.

Audrey hugged Wanda and said, "This is Mr. Ji Yuan, the builder of the base and also a doctor. He is trustworthy."

Wanda's wary expression relaxed a little. She had been through too much over the years, and if she hadn't maintained the highest level of caution, she and her brother wouldn't have survived until now.

Ji Yuan didn't speak, but walked over and took Pietro. A barely perceptible light entered his and Wanda's bodies, and Pietro immediately felt a little lighter.

After leading them to a room to stay in and leaving them some water and food, Ji Yuan left.

From that sliver of light, he clearly sensed the presence of a nightmare.

Looks like it'll be Ultraman fighting monsters again tonight.
