Chapter 281: Chapter 281: The Plan to Grow dicinal Herbs
In the evening, Su Jin took a deep breath in the space, and under the watchful eyes of her family, she took out the Mutated Lion’s Beast Core from Nie Qing’s storage bag.
As soon as the Beast Core was taken out, it began to shrink like a block of ice, and bits of Spiritual Power were gradually absorbed by the space, stunning even the Local Tyrant Gold, which jumped up trying to catch those specks, but couldn’t grasp anything.
Li Xiuying couldn’t help but laugh at the silly Local Tyrant Gold.
“Ah, the feeling of Spiritual Power surrounding is really nice,” Nie Qing breathed deeply, intoxicated.
Ever since the Apocalypse began, only the air in this space made him feel comfortable. The reason he liked to stay here was partly to binge-watch shows, but also because he loved the abundant Spiritual Power in the space.
Hearing Nie Qing say this, the family also felt that as the Beast Core was absorbed, the space beca even more comfortable for them.
...
“Killing these mutated behemoths isn’t difficult, it’s just rare to encounter one,” Lin Xiuyuan remarked.
Su Jin also felt this was true, as long as everyone could cooperate with each other, killing a Mutated Beast wouldn’t be much harder than killing Mutated Zombies.
She then used her consciousness to observe the gray fog behind the creek and found that the fog which had advanced a bit when they first arrived had now receded a lot. It seed they wouldn’t need to take out 50 Crystal Cores today.
Ever since the space was upgraded, she could use her consciousness to check the gray fog at the creek, which was incredibly convenient.
Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, also felt that resting in the space for a while was more refreshing than resting outside for half a day. Seeing his wife’s color return to normal, Su Xiangzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“If the hospital is too busy, you shouldn’t overwork yourself. Xiao Jin said you’re a shareholder of the hospital and have the right to refuse anyone,” Su Xiangzhe told Lin Tianhui.
“Ah, I know, I just couldn’t help it today. Seeing those injured people, I wanted to heal them all. I won’t do this again,” Lin Tianhui comforted her husband. The feeling of treating others even when her Special Ability was depleted was truly uncomfortable. Had Su Xiangzhe not happened to go to the Base Hospital to pick her up from work, she felt she wouldn’t have had the strength to walk back.
“Mom, Dad is right. From now on, you’re not allowed to do this again, or the whole family will boycott you from working at the hospital,” Su Jin said fiercely, objecting to Lin Tianhui’s exhausting work at the hospital. It was against her initial wish.
After Su Jin spoke, everyone echoed in agreent, especially after they heard Su Jin ntion that healers using their Special Ability to the point of exhaustion while treating others could potentially lose their lives. Even Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo couldn’t help but reprimand Lin Tianhui.
“I got it,” Lin Tianhui replied awkwardly, feeling embarrassed to be scolded by the elders in front of the younger ones at her age.
“However, the Base Hospital is really in dire straits at the mont. There have been more mission operations these days, and many co back with serious injuries, while the hospital’s dicines and equipnt are insufficient,” Lin Tianhui said, frowning.
“They can still enter the base with serious injuries?” Mao Zhihang asked, puzzled.
“Alas, if they can survive outside the base for two hours without mutating, they are let in. But today, so waiting outside just ran out of breath…” Lin Tianhui’s voice trailed off into a sigh.
The family fell silent upon hearing this. Although it was about others, no one could feel happy every ti they heard such bad news.
“What do you think, if we grow so dicinal herbs in the space and sell them to the base, could that alleviate the urgent need for dical supplies?” Su Jin pondered and asked.
She didn’t understand Chinese dicine or herbs, so she hadn’t thought of this before. It would be good if there was soone knowledgeable in this area.
“Absolutely, our hospital has a few old Chinese dicine doctors, but due to the lack of herbs, they can only do so massages and pulse taking now. If we have Chinese herbs, that could completely compensate for the lack of Western dicine,” Lin Tianhui said eagerly.
Lin Tianzhen felt that Su Jin’s idea was very good.
Nie Qing, however, had a different opinion. He said to everyone, “Well… planting dicinal herbs in the space is good, but if we take out fresh herbs, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. And right now, we don’t have any seeds for the herbs!”
Alright, not having the seeds for the dicinal herbs was a serious problem; at the ti, she only thought about buying grain and vegetable seeds, completely forgetting about the dicinal herbs.
“I rember, when I was looking at the map before, there was a dicinal herb market in S city,” Lu Hao said.
???
The family all looked over, Lu Hao knew how to read maps?
So even soone directionally challenged can read maps?
Even Su Jin was skeptical of Lu Hao’s words.
Lu Hao: …
“Cough cough, it’s true, I rember too,”
Mao Zhihang tried to ease the awkwardness for Lu Hao, and with Lu Hao’s ntion, he also rembered that dicinal herb market. It was just sowhat close to the city center, which is why he hadn’t paid it much attention before.
“Would it be too dangerous?”
Li Xiuying started to worry about everyone’s safety when she heard it was close to the city center.
“Grandma, ever since that rain last ti, there aren’t particularly dangerous places anymore. If you ask , I feel that the base is actually the most dangerous place right now,” Su Jin analyzed.
The zombies in the city center were already slowly dispersing to the suburbs, and City West Base, where people were the most concentrated, could very likely beco a target.
“It’s alright, it’s alright, we’ve built such thick and tall walls, not a single zombie can get in,”
Lin Cheng quickly reassured everyone, with walls that thick and tall, it was unthinkable for any zombies to get through.
Su Jin nodded; she rembered that when she arrived at the S city base in her previous life, it was already the second year of the apocalypse. The city walls of the S city base were just as thick and tall as now, but the stone monunt marking the sacrificed soldiers still had many nas engraved on it. Supposedly, those were the people who had sacrificed themselves fighting the zombie tide at the S city base. By rights, such a base shouldn’t have had so many sacrifices – she wondered what had actually happened back then.
She hoped that in this life, there wouldn’t be so many sacrifices again.
After discussing with the family, they decided to visit the mission center the next day to see if there were any suitable tasks. If so, they would take the opportunity to head to the dicinal herb market to look around.
Su Jin and her family had also packaged a lot of small bags of rice in the space. The rice they gave to Guo Yang last ti was said to have all been sold out, even possibly outpacing the sales of the flatbread.
Thinking about it, a handful of rice could make a large pot of porridge, and uncooked rice was easier to preserve. Many teams going out would buy flatbreads or this rice. But selling rice could save a lot of effort, just needing plastic bags for packaging, without the need for vacuum-sealed bags.
“I think next ti we should just take out whole bags of rice, let those who co to buy bring their own containers, and weigh it out for them. It’s also environntally friendly,”
Lin Tianzhen said while she was packaging.
She was an environntalist; back in H city, she always brought her own canvas bag when shopping and rarely used these non-biodegradable plastic bags. Seeing that each small amount of rice would occupy a plastic bag made her feel quite uncomfortable.
Su Jin nodded, this was indeed a good idea, and they wouldn’t need to package everything in the space themselves anymore. Perhaps it was worth trying next ti.
