Jiang Lin was an orphan. Just as she finally got into university, the apocalypse descended. All land was polluted, and plants could not grow.
Relying on years of survival experience from the ...
Strange radio
Wen Yan used Jiang Lin's bracelet to retrieve a batch of supplies from the bottom of the sea, and found a radio device from it. He turned on the signal receiving device and set off for the ruins of the first base.
This time he went there alone, and everything in the earthquake truck was emptied, so he could move a large batch of medicines.
Sheng Wei jumped onto the earthquake vehicle: "Take me with you, I'll go with you, it's safer with more people." Now this area presents a very strange scene.
Some places were covered with giant mutated plants, looking like primeval forests, while some places were still the familiar bare scenes.
Sheng Wei and Wen Yan had nothing to say. She turned and looked out the window. The seaside base and the first base were not far apart. Walking along the elevated road, she could see many things below.
Sheng Wei was lost in thought as she stared at the barren land below. The mutated plants created by the sacred tree grew much faster than those they had planted step by step.
Moreover, the enlargement and rapid growth of those mutated plants can feed more people, but their uncontrollable dangers and connection with the sacred tree make it a little difficult for everyone to accept for a while.
Sheng Wei was still immersed in his own thoughts when the car stopped steadily.
"We're here. Let's go directly to the hospital's underground warehouse." Wen Yan put on his mask and jumped out of the car. Sheng Wei followed closely behind him. Their goal this time was very clear, so there was no excessive hesitation.
"Should we move the machines away too?" Sheng Wei asked uncertainly. Wen Yan had been standing in front of the freezer where the medicines were stored for too long.
These freezers that store medicines are all powered by solar energy. The solar panels on them are embedded in the ground and are very durable. Even if part of them is damaged, they can still be used.
But the weight of these things was not something that the two of them could move.
"It's too troublesome to run back and forth again. It would be best if we could move it away directly." Wen Yan got out a wheeled cart that used to carry medicines from somewhere.
He walked to the freezer and motioned Sheng Wei to come over to help.
Both of them were incredibly strong, and with the added strength of their psychic powers, their strength was much greater than that of an average person. They exerted all their might and actually managed to move the freezer.
The earthquake truck was parked outside, and Wen Yan had already lowered the transport surface. As long as they put the freezer on the cart, they might be able to transport all of these back and take a few solar panels with them.
There was not much communication, but Sheng Wei understood what Wen Yan wanted to do.
She unplugged the power cord connecting the freezer, and together with Wen Yan, she leaned the freezer forward against the cart.
"Huh, I'll push the cart in, and you go pull out the solar panels." Wen Yan let out a breath. Even with a cart, this thing was still very heavy.
When he successfully pushed the first freezer into the car, Sheng Wei jumped down from it carrying three solar panels on his back, and the two of them continued to move three freezers.
The most important special medicines are all inside. Wen Yan reconnected the power and said, "Let's go." Now it is unknown whether the First Base is under the surveillance of Shenmu, so the shorter the stay, the better.
Sheng Wei climbed onto the car, and the earthquake car started off again, shaking.
In fact, Shenmu is still recuperating in the cave. Physical damage is much easier for her to recover than mental damage. This time, Jiang Lin cut off a strand of her spiritual thread, which was more harmful to her than erasing Zhong Xin's spiritual node before.
The sacred tree leaned listlessly against the stone wall. This place gradually became the place where it felt most secure. It had grown here since its birth.
There had been no one in the cave for a long time, and coupled with the humidity of the rainy season and the sacred tree, moss gradually grew inside and the sound of dripping water could be heard.
No one had lived in it for so long that the cave returned to its original appearance at an extremely fast speed.
"Jiang Lin, what should I do with you?" Shenmu murmured to herself. On the one hand, she didn't want to kill this genius born in the apocalypse, but Jiang Lin had completely stood on the opposite side of her.
Perhaps only one of them would survive.
When Sheng Wei and Wen Yan returned to the base, the administrator of the earthquake vehicle was shocked: "Did you two move all these back?" He used his pager to call a group of people for help in disbelief.
The huge freezer was slowly pulled up to the temporary hospital above.
Jiang Lin was lying in the medical cabin to rest. Next to him was the sound of Tang Xiaoyan talking to a patient. Jiang Lin had never seen her so gentle and patient.
Normally, Tang Xiaoyan gave her the impression of being an extremely calm and capable woman.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. She couldn't help but stand up and wanted to look outside, but her movements were restricted by the medical cabin: "Why can't this space be designed to be bigger?" Jiang Lin complained.
"It's so that someone like you who has to take a look at the slightest movement can lie down well and not move around." Tang Xiaoyan looked at her helplessly. She had never seen a patient like Jiang Lin who couldn't lie down at all.
In just a few hours, she requested to leave the warehouse more than once, but her burns were still quite severe, and Tang Xiaoyan was reluctant to let her out.
Jiang Lin moved her limbs uncomfortably. She had never used a medical cabin before and had been growing up wildly in an orphanage. She had no medicine when she was injured.
Thinking of that time, she became unusually quiet. Tang Xiaoyan looked at her strangely, and Jiang Lin's face was a mixture of nostalgia and pain.
"Look, what's brought to you." Sheng Wei appeared in front of the two people with a flushed face and sweat all over her. Following her was Wen Yan, who was in a similar situation.
Then there was a huge freezer and a group of people helping.
"You two, have you moved all the freezers here?" Jiang Lin didn't expect them to be so efficient: "I should go with them." It's much more interesting than staying in the medical cabin.
Tang Xiaoyan glared at her and went to check the medicine in the freezer. As a result, the second and third medicines were delivered one after another. She was a little shocked.
Wen Yan acted quickly and the solar panels had already been installed in the place above the temporary hospital where the sun was shining the most.
Tang Xiaoyan saw that the two special medicines needed now were injected into Xie Anran and Jiang Lin respectively, and of course there was also ointment for burns.
After one application, Jiang Lin's skin recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye: "This is amazing." She looked at her skin which began to grow new pink flesh.
"Of course not! These are the most precious medicines. Ordinary people wouldn't need them before the end of the world." Tang Xiaoyan's previous job was related to being a doctor, and she knew very well the value of these medicines.
Before the apocalypse, these medicines were not even as valuable to ordinary low-class citizens. It was also a twisted and perverted era. Tang Xiaoyan felt that it was just a different kind of misery than the apocalypse.
Jiang Lin couldn't wait to come out of the medical cabin. She really hated this kind of confined space: "How do you feel now?" She looked at Xie Anran.
Xie Anran tried to move his arm. Although it was not very smooth, he was able to move it. Jiang Lin and Tang Xiaoyan both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just keep watching, she should be able to recover," Tang Xiaoyan said after carefully examining her body. Turning around, Jiang Lin saw that they had already run over to Sheng Wei and Wen Yan to listen to their story about how they had brought the freezer back.
Tang Xiaoyan shook her head. Looking at the three freezers full of special medicines, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction. It might be that she had been a doctor for so long that she felt more and more like a doctor.
Her eyes darkened slightly. Before the end of the world, she had forgotten a little. She only remembered her general identity, but Tang Xiaoyan could not remember what she was researching at that time.
The time she was tortured by the spores made her forget a lot of things.
When Jiang Lin left the hospital, she took a special look at the land at the foot of the mountain. No giant mutant plants had grown there. It seemed that the golden thread she had cut off also needed to be healed by the sacred tree.
"What was dropped from the seabed?" Jiang Lin asked as he put the bracelet back on his wrist.
"Conventional medicine bottles, food, and weapons, as well as a radio transmitter and receiver." Wen Yan knew how to use this thing but was unfamiliar with it. After all, such a primitive radio transmitter and receiver would only be used in very rare circumstances.
Jiang Lin became interested: "Let's go and take a look."
"That's fine. I turned on the reception when I left. I wonder if I can receive any special information." Although it was turned on, Wen Yan really didn't expect to receive any information.
Although the plants weren't growing at breakneck speed, the giant mutant plants would be enough to feed the people at the seaside base for a long time. Cui Yawen had been busy storing and preparing delicious food recently.
A simple canteen was slowly built, the prototype of the seaside base appeared, and everyone finally had a faint sense of belonging.
Jiang Lin fiddled with the radio on the table, a black thing that looked nothing special. She touched it and didn't know what button she touched.
"Hello, this is the underwater survival base in City B. Are there any living people on the ground? What is the current situation? Please reply if you get it. Got it..." There was too much noise, and the following words were a bit unclear.
Jiang Lin glanced at Wen Yan, who was also clearly stunned. They had received a radio transmission from the neighboring city. The humans who had relocated to the seabed were asking them questions.
"How does this thing work?" Jiang Lin looked at Wen Yan. Wen Yan moved the radio in front of him and fiddled with it for a long time. "It should work now. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Lin thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything to say, so he simply said, "There are still a group of survivors on the ground in City A. The zombies have disappeared, but new mutations have appeared, and the situation is quite complicated."
After sending the message, there was no response for half a day. Wen Yan explained: "This is not real-time. If the reception is not turned on over there, they may not hear our response. I will debug it and let it resend after a while." After tinkering with it for half a day, Jiang Lin lost interest in radio.
After Wen Yan finished, the two of them walked towards home.
Cui Yawen's small canteen opened, and they finally ate meals cooked in the canteen again. Today's dinner was pumpkin pancakes, grilled squid, and seafood porridge made from mutant rice.
The food was so rich that Jiang Lin loved it.
The survivors in City B, far under the sea, received the first radio message from City A.
