Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies Chapter 413: 411: Hehehe
Chapter 413: Chapter 411: Hehehe
Jiang Yan feigned surprise, “That’s true, I didn’t expect the life-saving potion to be so magical!”
The crowd was also visibly shocked.
A warrior puzzled, “Isn’t the water Brother Kong drank colorless, tasteless, and transparent? How co his sweat is so black and stinky as it cos out?”
Song Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, “I suspect it’s like Doctor Lin said, he is detoxifying.”
The warrior was surprised, “Detoxifying? Isn’t the water acidic?”
“Most likely it’s the neutralization of acid and alkali, creating a chemical reaction,” Su Dai analyzed, lifting her chin.
Everyone suddenly realized.
“These stains sticking to the body are not only slly, but they can also clog pores which affects the rest of the toxins being expelled. Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll help Kong Wu clean up first,” said Song Qian, and glanced over at Jiang Yan and Mo Shiyao.
The others imdiately understood the gesture.
“I’ll take a stroll outside,” said Jiang Yan, and without waiting for Mo Shiyao and the rest, she stepped out.
It was still around minus sixty degrees outside, which was a bit better than before, but Su Dai and Mo Shiyao couldn’t endure such cold and had to go downstairs to the Seed Bank.
As for Lin Xiaohui, she is a doctor.
Over the years, she has seen plenty of male bodies and fruits, but out of courtesy, she also went down a floor.
Fearing that Kong Wu would get cold from stripping, Ye Qing started a fire beside him.
Song Qian and Sun Jingtao carefully peeled off half of Kong Wu’s clothes.
Ye Qing found a towel, fetched so hot water from the pot, and added so crushed ice to it.
The three of them coordinated to wipe down Kong Wu’s body bit by bit.
Once Jiang Yan stepped outside, bored, she looked at the scattered teorites peeking out of the nearby snow and suddenly had a brilliant idea.
“Hua Bao, how about we go treasure hunting?”
“Treasure hunting?” Hua Bao’s eyes whirled around, and after looking all around, besides the distant Black Pine Forest, all it could see was a blanket of white. “Mom, is there a museum buried under the snow?”
“Or are you planning to rob a tomb?” it asked, looking at the Black Pine Forest, its imagination running wild.
From its mory, during its learning sessions on the computer, such dark pine forests were often filled with graves.
“Of course not,” Jiang Yan said with a smile, put on her Snow Goggles and then proceeded to trudge through the snow.
When she reached a spot where the others could hardly see her clearly, she stopped in front of a three-ter square teorite, patted the teorite and said, “Let’s get to work, Bao~”
Hua Bao: “…”
Hua Bao: “Mom, you want to put this into the Space?”
Jiang Yan: “Right.”
She suddenly realized that these teorites were large and heavy, and perhaps they could be used as alternative primitive weapons in the future.
Hua Bao: “…Then why didn’t you collect them when the teorites fell before? The snow was covered with them.”
“I didn’t think of it at that ti,” Jiang Yan chuckled.
“Oh, alright then,” Hua Bao pursed its lips, grew larger, and extended its Vine towards the teorite, then quickly burrowed into the ice below.
It wasn’t so much digging as it was pulling.
Once its Vine was tightly wrapped around the teorite buried in the snow, it effortlessly pulled and loosened the teorite.
Without the ice to hold it in place, Jiang Yan rely touched the teorite with her finger, and it was absorbed into the Space.
Soon after, the smooth and undulating snowfield suddenly got pockmarked with holes resembling those on the moon’s surface.
An hour later, guessing that Kong Wu must have been cleaned up by now, Jiang Yan turned to head back.
Seeing her figure, the knit in Ye Qing’s brow instantly loosened, “Jiang Yan, you’re back?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yan removed the Snow Goggles and looked over at Kong Wu, “Has Kong Wu gotten any better?”
“Much better, he isn’t sweating black anymore,” Ye Qing replied and passed a bowl of warm water to Lin Xiaohui.
Lin Xiaohui took the bowl, spoon-fed Kong Wu a little at a ti.
“I find it a bit strange,” Lin Xiaohui said as she sat Kong Wu back on the Snow Wolf fur to rest, then stood up to speak to Jiang Yan:
“His gastrointestinal tract is damaged, theoretically, his digestion and absorption functions should’ve failed. Yet those dicinal waters were absorbed by his body so quickly, even circulating to all parts. Such dicine is extrely rare.”
Jiang Yan pondered for a second, “I guess, the developnt of this kind of dicine must have taken this situation into account.”
“That’s possible,” Lin Xiaohui didn’t think too much further.
Jiang Yan rembered sothing, “By the way, if his gastrointestinal digestion and absorption functions are temporarily out of action, would it still be effective to feed him amoxicillin?”
“It is effective,” Lin Xiaohui moved closer to her ear with a bit of embarrassnt and whispered, “Song Qian and the others administered the dicine through his anus.”
Jiang Yan was montarily petrified: “…Ah?”
Lin Xiaohui, “This thod is a bit outrageous, but it has been used in actual clinical practice, and the effect is indeed good.”
Jiang Yan: “…Oh.”
Useless knowledge seed to have increased again.
“Mommy, I feel a bit strange.” Transparent Hua Bao approached Kong Wu, sniffed around him, and suddenly spoke.
“What’s wrong?”
“After you drank the Spiritual Spring Water, you’ve been slling nice all the ti, but this little brother seems to have no scent at all.”
Jiang Yan sniffed herself; perhaps her sense of sll had adapted, she did not notice anything.
As for Hua Bao’s comnt about her having a fragrance while Kong Wu did not, she guessed it was due to her status as the owner of Space.
Ti flew by, and a month had passed.
Aside from the blizzard on New Year’s Eve, there was no more acidic snow.
The temperature was rising slowly, already going up from minus sixty degrees to around minus forty degrees.
Although it was still very cold, at least people were able to adapt to such temperatures now.
Song Haitao and others were planning and preparing to return to Yaoben Base.
Kong Wu still couldn’t speak and was very sleepy, but after being fed Spiritual Spring Water by Jiang Yan several tis, the ulcerated wounds at the corners of his mouth had gradually healed.
Areas like his oral cavity and throat were also gradually improving and he was beginning to swallow.
Jiang Yan volunteered for several night watches.
Taking advantage of the ti at night when only she and Kong Wu were awake, she had Hua Bao guard the stairway, then threw Kong Wu, who had been injected with an anesthetic, into Space several tis.
With the healing enhancent from the Spiritual Spring Water and Space, Kong Wu’s body recovered very quickly.
Jiang Yan kept drinking Spiritual Spring Water herself too.
She felt that the Spiritual Spring Water boosted her body more quickly than Space did.
It was as if she beca more resistant to the cold.
After confirming these effects, she would also occasionally secretly add so Spiritual Spring Water to the bone broth.
Everyone indeed felt that their bodies were not as cold as before.
However, no one was overly suspicious, attributing it to the rising outdoor temperatures.
Zhang Yongliang and a few elders felt the change more distinctly.
They all had one or more comorbidities before the apocalypse.
After the apocalypse, dications beca scarce.
Even though they were key mbers of the base, they still had to face the problem of a lack of specific lifesaving dicines.
They used to endure with their physical resilience, but it was unexpected that after staying at the Observatory for a while, their bodies seed to have improved sowhat.
The pain brought by those comorbidities had lessened considerably.
Thinking of the initially mutated animals after the Natural Disaster, an elder proposed, “Could it be that we are also mutating?”
“It’s hard to say. It could also be our illusion. We can only wait to get back to the base and get tested to know for sure,” the others were uncertain, “But having rested and gathered strength at the Observatory during this period, I feel my old arms and legs seed to have beco more agile.”
That day, after lunch, while everyone was gathered, Song Haitao spoke up:
“In a few days, once Kong Wu’s health improves a bit more, we’ll set off to return to the base. Does anyone have any concerns?”
“I agree.”
“I have no problem.”
Upon hearing they could return to the base, everyone raised their hands in agreent.
Just then, a creepy “kekeke” laughter ca from behind everyone.
Everyone turned around in shock, only to see Kong Wu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, propping himself up with one hand, sitting halfway up, and laughing at everyone.
“Kong Wu, was that sound made by you?” everyone asked in shock and surprise.
It had been a long ti since Kong Wu had spoken after drinking the acidic snow.
They had always thought that even if he recovered physically, he would most likely beco mute.
Jiang Yan was also astonished because the “kekeke” laughter was exactly like Hua Bao’s voice.
While puzzled, Hua Bao jumped onto her shoulder pouting, “Mommy! Kong Wu stole my line!”
