Chapter 267 Collecting Supplies

Everyone walked slowly. The three teachers were already weakened, so they couldn't keep up. The road was littered with survivors, and Lu Xingtang didn't dare risk sending the three teachers into the space, as he'd surely be discovered. He could only create a nutritional medicine in the space. Everyone discussed the process, and finally came up with a solution. Lu Xingtang didn't give it to the three teachers right away. Instead, he tested it on rabbits, confirming its effectiveness and lack of side effects, before letting them consume it.

But his consciousness kept making nutritional medicine in the space to regulate the bodies of others: "If your body is healthy, you won't fall down due to poor health when we build our base."

"It hasn't even started yet, Tangtang, and you've already turned into Huang Shiren and Zhou Paopi!" the classmates said jokingly.

Lu Xingtang raised his eyebrows: "In order to be able to settle down, I am willing to be inhumane! Just wait and see, when the time comes, I will definitely peel off a layer of skin from you."

"But Tangtang, although we have collected a lot of supplies, especially in Sang Country! But building an indestructible base requires a large amount of building materials, and there may not be enough building materials in the space. Moreover, the natural disasters across the country seem to have pressed the pause button, and everyone must rebuild their homes, so building materials will definitely be scarce!

It would take us a month, three months, or even half a year to get from the imperial capital to Lancheng. Can we gather construction materials before we get to Lancheng? If we build everything with adobe houses, their quality will definitely not be guaranteed, especially during a natural disaster!"

Su Cheng's proposal was echoed by everyone, and they all said that they could take the opportunity to collect supplies. Since they were many in number, they would definitely be able to collect a lot of supplies to build a base.

Lu Xingtang felt that this was also an opportunity, so he decided to collect supplies as they walked from now on.

Mainly construction materials, such as steel, steel bars, drainage pipes, steel plates, steel ropes, cement, wood, concrete, welding materials, electric welding wire, bricks, tiles, stones, sand, ash, etc.

Unfortunately, most of the supplies were gone, as they had all been taken away by the government. The only resources left were wood and stone, such as logs, timber, planks, bamboo, moso bamboo, and gravel, crushed stone, and large rocks.

"Important construction materials are hard to find. We should look for whatever we can find. Even a piece of stone is better than nothing."

Lu Xingtang and the others slowed down. They no longer rushed for the sake of rushing, but kept collecting building materials. They would not let go of even a branch they saw on the ground. They collected them all and tied them up. Lu Xingtang put them into the space where no one was around, and at the same time put the three teachers into the space. He asked them to help cook for everyone while they were writing medical books in the space. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo would use their consciousness to help the three of them cook so that the three teachers would not get tired.

So they found a place with few people, mountains and water in HB Province, climbed up the mountain, and Lu Xingtang took out the rattan baskets, baskets, and backpacks in the space, one for each person, to pick up stones in the mountains or give them sickles, axes, chainsaws, etc. to chop trees or firewood in the mountains. Lu Xingtang chose an open space in the grassland in the space to store the stones, wood, firewood, etc. they had stored.

After the students have prepared the firewood, wood and stones, there is no need for them to carry them. They can just call Lu Xingtang or Ji Yanmo over and they will put them into the space with a wave of their hands.

They didn't dare to go too far for fear of being targeted, so they went to one hill a day and collected all the thick trees and big rocks into the space.

Because Ji Yanmo was using a cheat, there was no need for anyone to guard against the survivors. Ji Yanmo activated his special ability to check for survivors. If any survivors were discovered, he would immediately collect the wood and stones they had collected into the space and immediately shift the target.

So they stayed in HB Province for a whole month before leaving. Thanks to everyone's efforts, they had collected a lot of stones, wood, firewood, and even dug up a lot of herbs and hunted a lot of prey. The herbs and prey were moved by Lu Xingtang and his team to the mountains in the space and allowed to grow wildly.

After leaving HB Province, they entered SX Province. SX Province was very rich in mineral resources, but they didn't know what the current situation was like, or whether the minerals had been taken away by the government. Lu Xingtang didn't want to miss out on SX Province's mineral resources, so he took out the data he downloaded before the apocalypse and searched for the locations of the major mineral resources in SX Province. After determining the location and route, they gathered supplies in SX Province.

In addition to building materials such as stones and wood, when they encounter uninhabited villages, towns, or cities, as long as there is no one there, they will collect all the supplies into the space, regardless of whether the supplies can be used or not. With the idea that they may be able to use them in the future, everyone works hard to collect supplies, and even if they are exhausted, their enthusiasm does not diminish.

Lu Xingtang and his men did not dare to collect supplies on a large scale, just like they did in Sang Country. After all, the people of SX Province all had to survive, so they just collected some supplies quickly and moved on to the next place.

Lu Xingtang and his team visited cultivated land, gardens, woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, industrial and mining land in towns and villages, land for transportation, water areas and land for water conservancy facilities.

There is also water. All the containers in Lu Xingtang's space have been used up, so he specially dug several large ponds in the grasslands or mountains in the space and pumped a lot of water into the space. Lu Xingtang couldn't guarantee that the water in the space could be used to build the base now, but they had to store water so that it would be convenient for them to build the base later and avoid looking for water everywhere.

At the same time, Lu Xingtang and his team also found many rare animals and plants, such as long-sawn grass, Artemisia annua, Caragana korshinskii, sea buckthorn, yew, cinnamomum camphora, winged oil tree, elm tree, walnut tree, and purple linden.

Brown pheasant, golden eagle, crested ibis, white stork, black stork, Steller's sea eagle, bald eagle, Steller's sea eagle, red-crowned crane, great bustard, bearded vulture, relict gull, tiger, leopard, sika deer, musk deer, and forest musk deer.

There are also medicinal herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus root, Licorice root, Forsythia suspensa, etc. Whenever they are encountered, Ji Yanmo can help collect them into the space, and then collect them all into the space and raise them in the mountains of the space. There are so many mountains in the space, so there is no need to worry about them getting into trouble.

What Lu Xingtang cared about most was minerals. They collected other materials while looking for mineral resources. Many minerals had been requisitioned by the GJ. Lu Xingtang and his team were unable to collect them and could only watch helplessly. However, they had never thought of competing with the GJ for minerals.

The resources in their space may be richer than GJ.

However, it was not a complete failure. Lu Xingtang and his team found five kinds of minerals, including coalbed methane, bauxite, refractory clay, magnesium ore, and dolomite for metallurgy. Although it was a small mine and the supplies were not much, Lu Xingtang and his team were very satisfied.

While searching for resources, they visited the major scenic spots and historical sites in SX Province. Although there had been huge changes and many of the scenic spots and historical sites had disappeared, Lu Xingtang and his team still went in to take a look. Lu Xingtang wanted to try whether the space would be expanded after the ruins of these scenic spots and historical sites were stored in the space.
