Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Great Harvest
 

The third-floor pharmacy is the Chinese Patent Medicine Pharmacy, which not only has various herbs and Chinese patent medicines, but also dedicated rooms like the decoction room and dispensing room, and the machines inside are all available.

“Xiao Jin, there’s a Chinese medicine drying machine here,”

Lin Cheng exclaimed excitedly.

Next to it were many small machines like Chinese medicine slicers and medicine stir-fry machines, but everyone thought they would only need the drying machine, slicing and frying… that was too specialized.

There were three drying machines in total, and they were not very large; Su Jin only took one into her space, planning to leave the rest for the base.

However, when Liang Jiuhui and the others came up, they collected various Chinese medicines and herbs, as well as slicers and stir-fry machines, into Song Sibo’s space, deliberately leaving those two drying machines.

“Sibo’s space doesn’t have much room left, and we still need to collect the medicine warehouse later. The drying machine can be replaced by other means, so it’s the least needed,”

Liang Jiuhui explained.

“…”

Well, she had even specifically left two for them.

After collecting the Chinese medicine storage, they were ready to collect the medicine warehouse. Su Jin pretended to tie her shoelaces casually and drifted to the back of the group. While no one was paying attention, she took the remaining two drying machines into her space.

Otherwise, keeping them would be such a waste…

According to the map drawn by that dean, besides the medicine warehouse Liang Jiuhui mentioned, there was also a small medical supplies warehouse in this hospital.

While Liang Jiuhui and others were collecting herbs on the third floor, Su Jin and Lu Hao handed over the notebook left by the dean to Liang Jiuhui and briefly explained its contents.

“I didn’t expect so much to have happened here, no wonder it was so easy for us to come up,”

Everyone remarked, finding the dean and the medical staff here truly admirable.

After Liang Jiuhui finished reading, he also fell silent. Not to mention the dean and those already sacrificed medical staff’s deeds, just the hospital layout itself, which indicated that the dean thought of leaving things for others even before he died, was truly moving.

They were also thankful for that hand-drawn map, which even had marked the nearest route from this building to the warehouse. The group made their way through, fighting off dangers, and finally reached the hospital’s warehouse area without any mishaps.

Su Jin noticed that although the hospital was not large, the warehouse was quite significant and also very clean and tidy, indicating that no one had entered since the Apocalypse began.

“Sibo, how much more can your space hold?”

Liang Jiuhui asked worriedly, not expecting they could collect so much medicine today.

“Just barely,”

Song Sibo replied with a slightly pale face and started collecting on one side.

However, he had already surprised Su Jin quite a bit. She knew that since the battle that morning, Song Sibo had not stopped, from the shops outside the hospital to the three pharmacies inside the hospital building—he could still continue?

“Sibo has been collecting supplies with me since the early Apocalypse. His Space Element Ability has almost reached level 4. In the entire base, aside from Guo Yang’s space, his is probably the largest,”

Liang Jiuhui explained to the group that after all, Guo Yang’s space was as big as an entire playing field.

“…”

Su Jin and the others didn’t know what to say, as actually, Song Sibo’s space should now be the largest one at the S City base; Guo Yang’s space was now only 200 square meters.

The dean said that the small medical supplies warehouse wasn’t far, and everyone protected Song Sibo along the way, letting him conserve as much energy as possible while continuing to gather supplies, and Song Sibo wasn’t being finicky.

The zombies they encountered head-on were quickly dealt with by Liang Jiuhui and Lu Hao’s group.

The items in the warehouse greatly surprised Liang Jiuhui; there were not only various mercury and electronic thermometers but also a variety of disinfectants and disposable products, even some small blood pressure monitors and measuring instruments, though it was uncertain if Sibo could keep going.

While Song Sibo rested, Su Jin had Lu Hao give him a bottle of Spatial Water. Sibo thanked Lu Hao gratefully; the short rest and the water made him feel much better, so he stood up and started gathering again.

No wonder Liang Jiuhui brought only one Space Element Ability User today, such an Ability User could really be considered a mobile warehouse for the team.

Su Jin’s team also wasn’t idle. While Liang Jiuhui and his group protected Song Sibo inside the warehouse, they started clearing the zombies that followed nearby, as Liang Jiuhui had said, all the Crystal Cores they collected on the road today would go to their team.

“Su Jin, watching that guy gather stuff, don’t you feel envious?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked Su Jin in a low voice while killing zombies, remembering that Su Jin liked to collect things.

“We don’t need these things.”

Su Jin entwined a vine around the head of a zombie in a patient’s uniform, then with a twist of the vine, she twisted the zombie’s head off.

“Exactly, we have the Healing Element and whatnot; we don’t care about these things,”

Lin Xiuyuan meant to say they also had Space, but somehow he couldn’t bring himself to say the word “Space.”

Su Jin understood that her cousin Lin Xiuyuan was trying to comfort her in various ways, probably afraid she might feel upset, but she had intended from the start not to collect these medicines into her Space; it was better to leave them for those in need.

Indeed, towards the end, Song Sibo’s space could barely fit anymore. Xu Shi and Guan Hong, along with Xiao Liu, drove the minibus directly to the warehouse and loaded the remaining items into the vehicle. As there were still too many boxes left, after stuffing the trunk of the minibus, even the back seats and the aisles were filled with supplies.

It could indeed be called a bountiful harvest.

“This should temporarily alleviate the shortage of medicine at the base,”

Liang Jiuhui said with a smile on the way back, today’s haul was really too big; it had been a long time since they had collected so many supplies, and most importantly, despite so many people out today, not a single person was injured or killed!

Previously, whenever they went to collect supplies, there would always be casualties to various extents. These past few days, due to a large number of registered teams at the base, he had thought of this strategy, although he had only brought five people, the results were surprisingly good.

This also let him witness the true strength of Su Jin and Lu Hao; perhaps that matter could indeed be entrusted to Su Jin and Lu Hao…

Su Jin leaned back in her seat, calculating the team’s haul for the day in her mind. They must have killed about 1000 zombies today, and with the mission reward of 2000 Crystal Cores, 3000 Crystal Cores were enough for the Space to absorb for two months, but that was just enough to maintain the normal consumption of the Wood Spirit Space, far from enough for an upgrade.

Just when everyone was resting in the bus, Mao Qiqi suddenly stood up, looking shocked.

So many zombies! It was a horde she couldn’t even begin to count!
