Stockpiling Medicine

"Zheng Ye, I know there are many zombies below, but you don't have to be so timid. You're really disgracing our Honghai Base. If you're so scared, why not hide in the base like a turtle in its shell? It's truly speechless."

Zhou Zi Qiu frowned tightly. She had always maintained a thoughtful and intelligent image within the team. When she smelled the foul stench in the air, she still couldn't help but reveal a hint of disgust.

"They're right; we still need to pay attention to the impact." Her gaze shifted from Zheng Ye's frightened face to Jiang Chu.

The latter noticed her gaze, silent yet innocent. Zhou Zi Qiu quickly retracted her eyes, "Zheng Ye, nothing must happen next, otherwise no one will save you."

Zheng Ye and she were both executors of the leader's plan. The leader had promised them many benefits. How could Zheng Ye deviate at such a crucial moment?

And what did he see when he encountered the Black Tiger Base's people that made him suddenly so unusually timid?

Zheng Ye dared not look at Jiang Chu, nor dared to look at Zhou Zi Qiu, fearing that any slip-up would lead to Jiang Chu silencing him. Compared to Zhou Zi Qiu, an ordinary person like himself, he feared Jiang Chu even more, a person who could easily kill Liu Yan of Black Tiger.

"Understood..."

After this small prelude, the Honghai people all kept their distance from Zheng Ye, fearing he would hinder them.

At critical moments, abnormal teammates were often the easiest to cause incidents. Zheng Ye had some status in the base. Here, apart from Lu Jia Zhe and Zhou Zi Qiu, Zheng Ye was the most influential person in the base. If not for this point, they would have already tried to remove Zheng Ye from the team, discarding this ticking time bomb.

Jiang Chu continued forward as if nothing had happened. She walked slightly behind, holding a small flashlight, her gaze briefly resting on the corner of the aisle wall.

Lu Jia Zhe deliberately stepped back, subtly following her gaze. On that white wall, there seemed to be some kind of pattern carved. The wall around the pattern was covered in dust, but only that block was clean and fresh; an inattentive person would not notice it at all.

He pretended nothing was amiss and retracted his gaze. This must be a signal left by Zhou Zi Qiu and her teammates, but there were still the fourth floor and higher floors they hadn't searched.

At this moment, they reached the first-floor stairs. Jiang Chu stopped. In front of so many people, there was certainly no way to take Zheng Ye away. She feigned a stomachache and ran upstairs.

The captain leaving the team must have her own intentions. Shen Yin Qiu subtly glanced at Liang Tian Yong, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "No need to wait for her; let's just go directly. If she catches up, she catches up; if not, then so be it."

Liang Tian Yong quickly chimed in, sneering, "That's right, we've been kind enough to bring her along for so long."

Zhou Zi Qiu pondered for a moment. A teammate behind her touched her arm: "Captain, if they all say so, then let's not wait anymore and just go straight. Outside is a horde of zombies, and we still have to bring Zheng Ye. How can we have the mind to manage her when rushing out with this burden?"

They regarded Shen Yin Qiu and Liang Tian Yong as wanderers eager to climb up the Honghai Base, only secretly disdaining them in their hearts, saying nothing.

Zhou Zi Qiu smiled: "If you all say so, then prepare to escape."

Those two weren't their Honghai people. Later, they could just use them as cannon fodder to attract zombies first.

Jiang Chu left the team and went upstairs alone. She wasn't worried about Shen Yin Qiu and Liang Tian Yong for the time being. The two of them had basic self-protection abilities, and Liang Tian Yong was still an ability user. Even if Lu Jia Zhe was injured, he could barely protect himself. As long as she was quick, they wouldn't encounter too many accidents.

The important thing was that what she had to do was more important than them.

Jiang Chu returned to the third floor. This building occupied a large area; it wasn't difficult to ensure that others were hiding in the shadows, but this point wasn't important. There was still space available. She examined the closest rows of pharmaceuticals. With a wave of her hand, several rows of pharmaceuticals on the shelves immediately disappeared into the shadows, appearing in her space.

She searched on the third floor; antibiotics definitely needed to be taken in large quantities. Besides antibiotics, consumable medical supplies like bandages also needed to be stockpiled in large quantities.

She went deeper into the third floor. Occasionally, one or two zombies appeared, which she easily dealt with.

After walking about ten meters, she found several rows of antibiotics displayed separately at the back. Jiang Chu was delighted and quickly threw them into her space.

Antibiotics were considered precious in the early stages of the apocalypse. Most importantly, if she planned to establish a base, these medicines were indispensable, as not everyone could endure harsh conditions.

And her survival base would not only lead in supplies and medicines, but protective gear was also essential to create a truly safe apocalyptic base.

In an instant, more than half of the nearby pharmaceuticals were collected into Jiang Chu's space.

She continued forward. Two offices appeared in her sight. Using a small trick she learned from Zhang Hu to knock open the door, she found a neatly dressed male zombie. She killed the zombie and found some documents near the printer.

She carefully opened them. On them were data and charts she didn't understand. The last line caught her attention: "Data fluctuation is too large, no clear experimental data, vaccine research and development faces many difficulties, no temporary solution."

This office door was locked from the inside. The zombie just now, when alive, was very likely locked to death here.

This office had no excess food or water, so it was judged to have died within a week after the zombie outbreak.

Jiang Chu sighed. This floor was mostly storage. She put the documents aside. In her previous life, up until the seventh year, there was no antidote for the zombie virus.

The famous Doctor X could only research and create some medicines to avoid zombies and weapons made from Cores. As for vaccines, don't even think about it.

This reminded her again that if she had planned well to build a survival base, she must widely recruit talents. She had previously set her sights on Doctor X but ran into Qin Yan.

If it were anyone else, she would have directly snatched him, but Qin Yan... he was also a reborn individual, and his forces were enormous. She couldn't contend with him now; she could only scheme slowly.

Jiang Chu searched around; this office had no usable supplies. She had collected all usable pharmaceuticals on the third floor, and next was the fourth floor.

After pondering for a moment, she headed towards the fourth floor. Who knows, the fourth floor might not only have Black Tiger's people but also other Honghai survivors.

Compared to the quietness of the third floor, the fourth floor was much livelier. The stairwell door was open, and before even stepping in, one could hear arguments inside.

Jiang Chu first turned off her flashlight and leaned against the doorframe.

"A group of fish slipped through the net and escaped downstairs. However, the Honghai people were very interesting; just a little interrogation and they told me how many supplies their base had. Lu Jia Zhe is nearby. Clear out the pharmaceuticals, collect them, and then each of you go search. Accustomed to the prestige of ability users, I wonder if a heavily injured Lu Jia Zhe will beg for mercy in front of me, ha ha ha."
