Chapter 34 Escape Pod

"I heard it from Mr. Zhang from your building." The fat woman said arrogantly, "He said you have a lot of medicine at home, and all his medicine is given by you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Teacher Zhang came out of the room, his face flushed, and he looked at Yang Qing embarrassedly, "Miss Yang, I didn't say that. It was my grandson who accidentally let it slip."

"Yesterday we went to the department store over there to buy food, and she tried to trick my grandson. The child was young and ignorant, so..." Teacher Zhang looked guilty.

"I have some medicine at home. You want to exchange it for food." Yang Qing looked at the fat woman. She wouldn't believe him even if he said there was no medicine.

"What? You still want food? Do you know how expensive food is now? Yesterday's old rice was already sold for one thousand yuan per catty. It's just a few pills, why are you so stingy?" The fat woman yelled.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin looked at each other in surprise. The last time Wang Min and the others bought grain, it was 300 yuan per catty, but it went up to 1,000 yuan in just a few days?

Lu Lin sneered, "What a joke! Food is expensive, so medicine isn't? Why should we give it to you for free? Even if you have food, we might not exchange it for it!"

"When did you ever get to speak?" The fat woman glared at Lu Lin. "I'm not feeling well, so you can't just stand by and watch me die, right?"

Yang Qing scoffed, "You're so full of energy when you speak, how can you look sick? I think you just want to trade our medicine for food. Do you think we're that easy to fool?"

"If you want medicine, exchange it for food, otherwise forget it!"

"Where can we get food? Unlike you guys on the seventh floor, who can grab good things outside every day, we can hardly make ends meet. Now that we are sick, no one sympathizes us." The fat woman pretended to be pitiful.

"Heh..." Yang Qing snorted coldly, "You're almost broke? I think your family must have stockpiled a lot of food. Everyone else is pale and skinny, but you're the only one eating so much. Who would believe you if you said you had no food?"

"Everyone, come and see. This woman must have a lot of things at home. Those of you who don't have food can go to her house and ask for it."

Several other households on the sixth and fifth floors heard the noise and opened their doors to look over.

The fat woman panicked. "Why are you yelling? I don't have any extra food at home. Don't talk nonsense. Do you know who I am? My husband is the manager of these buildings. If you offend me, you will be in big trouble!"

Yang Qing sneered. It turned out that she was Xiong Shimin’s wife. No wonder, they were from the same family.

Doesn't she know that her husband is dead?

Still showing off here. Anyone who dares to be so arrogant in this end times will not know how he will die in the future.

"Oh, I want to see how you are going to make us suffer the consequences!"

Yang Qing pulled out a dagger from his waist and put it against the fat woman's neck, saying viciously, "Believe it or not, I will cut your throat right now and see who will come to save you?"

The fat woman panicked and looked at Teacher Zhang for help. Teacher Zhang was also shocked. He had heard about some things on the seventh floor, but this was the first time he actually saw Yang Qing's ferocious look.

After taking a look at Yang Qing, he immediately went back into the room and locked the door.

"I, I don't want the medicine anymore, I don't want it anymore..." The fat woman shook her head desperately, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.

Lu Lin snorted, he gave in so quickly, what a coward!

"Get out!" Yang Qing yelled, and the fat woman rolled and crawled down the stairs.

We got downstairs and got on a rubber boat, which was hurriedly urged to go faster, as if there was a ghost chasing us from behind.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin calmly left the speedboat and got on it.

When passing by a building, Yang Qing suddenly remembered that there seemed to be offices of several high-tech companies in this building, and there might be some unexpected things.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Yang Qing pointed at the building.

Lu Lin looked over and said, "The glass on the third and fourth floors is all broken. Someone must have swept the building."

"It's okay, we're not looking for food. Maybe there are some things that others don't want." Yang Qing said.

Lu Lin nodded, and the two of them moved the speedboat over and entered through the broken glass wall. After checking to see if there was anyone around, they directly put the speedboat into the space.

From the fourth floor upwards, the place was basically cleared out. The two of them took a look and didn't stay for long.

There are floor signs on the fifth floor. There is a high-tech company on the sixteenth floor, a medical device company on the fifteenth floor, and a medical beauty institution on the fourteenth floor.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin went straight to the 16th floor and prepared to sweep down from there.

When they reached the 16th floor, the boss's office was almost empty, with only a safe. It was probably impossible to open it or move it away, so Yang Qing simply put the safe into the space.

Staff offices were also raided.

Although the big lock of the display area on the side was cut, almost no one touched the things inside. Maybe it was because they were all mechanical things that could not be eaten or carried away, so no one wanted them.

Yang Qing walked in and was attracted by a huge round ball.

The sphere is at least two meters high, with a metal shell and two glass windows.

Is this an escape pod?

It looks a bit like the sightseeing cabin in the movie "Jurassic Park", but it is much larger than that one, and the outer metal looks very strong. It is obvious that it is made of some high-tech material.

Yang Qing saw an instruction manual lying nearby. When he opened it, he found that it was indeed an escape pod.

The outer layer is made of corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant aerospace materials that can withstand high temperature and high pressure environments, comparable to the materials used in space stations.

Yang Qing found the switch according to the instructions in the manual. When he pressed the button, the hatch opened. There were four seats inside. The seats were made of shock-absorbing material, giving him a full sense of security.

It is not only equipped with a GPS positioning system, oxygen, and lighting equipment, but also has storage space for water and food, which can at least provide enough for four people for three days.

There is also a mini toilet next to it, which contains some hygiene products and a medicine box.

"What is this?" Lu Lin asked.

Yang Qing handed her the instruction manual and asked, "Is this an escape pod?" Lu Lin was surprised.

Yang Qing nodded, "Yes, with this escape pod, we won't be afraid even if we encounter dangerous situations in the future."

Decisively put the escape pod into the space.

Looking at the display cabinet next to it, there is a semicircular thing that looks like an escape pod, which turns out to be a baby seat.

However, the material used for this seat is the same as that of the escape pod. I don’t know where to put it, so I’ll just put it away for now.

When they pried open the cabinet below, they found several satellite phones and drones inside, which they all took away.

The next room down was a medical device company, and the things inside scared Yang Qing.

Not to mention the general surgical instruments, ultrasound machines, and defibrillators, there is even a CT machine?

Although these are useless now, they will be of great use when rebuilding homes after the apocalypse.

Yang Qing swept everything inside into the space, leaving nothing behind.

It suddenly occurred to her that maybe she could go to the hospital.

Medicines may be stolen from the hospital, but equipment generally cannot be taken away.

When you have time, see if there are any hospitals that are not flooded and you can visit them.
