"Rebirth After the Apocalypse" - No Rebirth (Part 10)...

Sometimes there are smart ways to make sacrifices, and sometimes there are stupid ways to make sacrifices.

Ye Xiqing looked at Gan Man with a half-smile: "Others can gain power, fame, and prestige through their sacrifices, but what can you gain by sacrificing yourself?"

Gan Man, who was happily returning with Ye Xiqing, was taken aback: "I didn't sacrifice myself to gain anything..."

"oh."

Ye Xiqing then let out a long, melodious sigh and smiled at Gan Man.

Gan Man slowly suppressed her smile.

She was enthusiastic about life, but that didn't mean she was insensitive. She could hear the ambiguity in Ye Xiqing's words.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes still bright, and looked earnestly at Ye Xiqing: "Isn't being able to follow the doctor into the lab the biggest benefit?"

Ye Xiqing was surprised by her answer and couldn't help but laugh again.

For a moment, he didn't want to say anything. He turned around and waved to Gan Man: "Come with me."

After the commendation ceremony, the Lin father and son gained even greater prestige at the base than before, and everyone regarded them as saviors and the hope of the base.

Gan Man and the other female trainees were allowed to remain in the pharmaceutical department due to their significant contributions in testing the drugs on themselves, and no one questioned them anymore.

Of course, after news broke that the zombie virus vaccine was made from the zombie virus, the pharmaceutical department's job is hardly a pleasant one. Smart people are watching and thinking about how to get in without any pain.

After receiving the zombie virus vaccine, there was a high probability that they would not be infected. The students Ye Xiqing selected were able to enter the pharmacy exclusively belonging to Ye Xiqing.

Even with the protection of vaccines, normal people would still be terrified to enter a notorious "toxic building".

The remaining ten people in the pharmaceutical department were visibly tense. Seeing this, Ye Xiqing smiled at them.

"You can familiarize yourselves with the subsequent processes of vaccine production downstairs first. I will be handling live viruses on the fifth floor. This may involve not only zombie viruses but also other types of viruses. Do not approach my laboratory without my permission."

“For routine deliveries, Gan Man can handle it. Just make sure to take proper protective measures. You all stay downstairs and disinfect regularly. Don’t let your guard down.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Xiqing told them not to go near her laboratory, but they became a little uneasy when they heard that Gan Man would be in charge.

In fact, before entering the legendary "Poison Building," everyone was prepared to sacrifice themselves.

They all want to escape for a while, but hearing that someone stood up for them makes them feel really bad.

One by one, people stepped forward: "Doctor, it's too tiring for Sister Man to do this all by herself. I can take turns with her..."

Gan Man was a fearless person, and upon hearing this, she immediately patted her chest and assured them, "It's okay, I can do it myself. Your work down there is also very important, so don't keep thinking about things that don't matter!"

Her words made the others even more embarrassed, and their desire to compete for it intensified.

The once quiet detached building has been turned into a vegetable market, with Ye Xiqing watching from the sidelines.

"System, seeing such harmonious, loving, and dedicated women, what more could you possibly want? Why are you always picking on them?"

system:……

Ye Xiqing interrupted their pointless argument by returning the system's message to its source.

"Alright, alright, do whatever you want. As long as someone is there to serve me, that's fine. There are so many fearless people in this world."

The arguing group paused for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally couldn't help but smile at each other.

The fear of death vanished amidst this embrace of kindness.

The world is already so bad, I never thought I would still have such good friends.

Some of the more emotional ones burst into tears on the spot, and the others hugged them and comforted them.

Gan Man has been helping Ye Xiqing deliver messages and instruct the students these past few days, and she has already developed some leadership qualities. Unlike a group of young girls who cried their eyes out, she simply offered a helping hand.

Her face, always full of enthusiasm, was rarely tinged with gloom. Turning to look at Ye Xiqing, she smiled gently, her eyes crinkling, and said, "But Doctor, aren't you the one among us who is least afraid of death?"

Ye Xiqing paused, seemingly speechless.

His usually sarcastic face showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance as he coldly looked at them: "No need for this nonsense, just pray you survive to the end."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The remaining people were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that, just as Gan Man had said, they were only passing on some things, but Dr. Luo was really going to deal with the virus directly.

Although those with superpowers are immune to the zombie virus, who can say for sure about viruses? What if they lose their immunity one day?

Moreover, Dr. Luo no longer possesses superpowers, so whether she can be immune is still unknown.

Previously, Ye Xiqing always kept her distance from people and liked to speak in a sarcastic manner. Coupled with rumors of her being averse to men, people thought she had a strange temper and a strict personality, and they were not very willing to get close to her.

Now people realize that appearances can be deceiving, but behavior cannot.

How bad can someone be who disregards their own life and puts themselves in danger for the sake of all humanity?

In an instant, the people in the pharmaceutical department were filled with boundless emotion and admiration, and felt extremely guilty for their previous misunderstanding of Dr. Luo.

The truth was right in front of them, so why did they only realize it now? Dr. Luo was actually such a good person!

The system stared in disbelief and withdrew the camera. Do you even know what you're talking about?

Ye Xiqing remained unusually calm: What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what they're saying?

She truly disregarded her own safety and risked her life to participate in virus experiments.

The only thing worth discussing is that she's really not afraid of death, hahaha.

That's why Ye Xiqing said that people should be smarter and not sacrifice themselves just because others do, as if they were the same as everyone else.

In fact, you and the person who sacrificed themselves may have zero similarities, or that person may not have even sacrificed themselves, but merely made an appearance.

Sometimes you need to think about the causes and consequences of things, and not be so easily moved. Being too easily moved is a disease that needs to be cured.

After saying goodbye to the innocent and adorable children, Ye Xiqing went upstairs alone.

In the apocalypse, there were no good ways to preserve blood, so they found several large refrigerators to refrigerate it. Ye Xiqing promised that the blood would be used up and hoped that the superhumans would donate some new blood every month.

After Gan Man finished collecting the blood, closed the door, and went out, Ye Xiqing put all the blood from those superhumans into her own space.

It really won't be wasted; you can store it for as long as you want.

...

Once the vaccine was developed, field staff were given priority for vaccination, and it quickly received rave reviews.

Outside the base, countless zombies roamed.

The roaming and gathering of zombie hordes are unpredictable; you never know when you'll encounter one. Sometimes, even a small scratch can lead to the complete dismemberment of your organization.

In the rudimentary conditions of the post-apocalyptic world, cutting off body tissues, even if one doesn't become a zombie, will still lead to infection, causing immense suffering.

Medical supplies were extremely scarce, requiring door-to-door searches, and even field teams sometimes couldn't get any medicine.

The field staff aren't stupid. Seeing this situation, they know that if you don't give them a share, they'll keep it for themselves and not report it.

The more drugs are hidden, the fewer are reported; the fewer drugs are reported, the fewer drug resources are available for allocation; if no allocation is given, more drugs will be hidden.

In this vicious cycle, many people even started selling drugs. If the base cracked down hard, they would go to other bases to sell them. This back-and-forth created a business chain.

Now that the base has its own pharmaceutical department, the supply of medicines has greatly increased, which has cracked down on many drug dealers and made medicines available to more people.

No matter the circumstances, life-saving medicine is always an important resource. The pharmaceutical department, which is in charge of pharmaceuticals, instantly became on par with Luan Anchun's medical department, and the structure of the base changed again. Ye Xiqing also became a new "giant" figure in the base.

After becoming the new leader of the base, Ye Xiqing had a meal with another leader of the base.

The apocalypse has been going on for a long time, and with the old food supplies constantly being depleted, people have no choice but to search for new food.

Mutant animals that have not been infected by zombies naturally became the first choice, and there were special teams with superpowers to hunt them down.

Some of the fruits grown by the mutated plants are edible. Huiyang City was originally a large city with abundant grain reserves. As a large base, Huiyang Base has the strength to collect grain, and its grain reserves are relatively sufficient.

However, food resources are still scarce, making it difficult to guarantee the quality and taste of food, and also preventing people from eating too much.

Most people at the base now eat two meals a day, while women who focus on childbirth, as a privileged group, can eat three meals a day.

But women naturally have smaller appetites, so make sure the portions are smaller at each meal.

Gan Man is a very selfless person, but she can give anything except food. She eats a whole plate of rice clean, leaving only a small piece of meat, which she carefully savors every bit of the flavor.

Luan Anchun got old and started to lose his appetite for meat, and this didn't change much after the apocalypse.

As a superhuman, she also began to rely less on food to replenish her strength, so she pushed the meat on her plate to Gan Man: "Eat more."

I ate some hastily with some pickled vegetables.

Gan Man was flattered and wanted to refuse, but she was also really tempted, so she stood there, unsure of what to do.

Luan Anchun smiled kindly as always: "It's alright, we superhumans don't get hungry easily."

Hearing this, Gan Man was relieved and thanked Luan Anchun with great excitement: "Thank you, Dean Luan!"

Seeing this situation, Ye Xiqing immediately had an idea and turned to look at Mao Hong: "Captain Mao..."

"roll."

"Captain Mao, aren't you a superhuman too?"

"But I want to eat it."

"Even superhumans don't need to eat that much. I'm just an ordinary person now, which is rather pitiful."

"Then go and apply to the cafeteria."

"Why don't you just contribute a little more by requesting the cafeteria to use more public resources?"

"roll."

Ye Xiqing: ...

Why is there such a big difference between people with superpowers? They're both people with superpowers.

Ye Xiqing had been eyeing the meat on Mao Hong's plate, hoping that she would change her mind.

But Mao Hong kept staring at her, and in front of her, she ate the meat little by little.

Ye Xiqing slowly sat up straight, somewhat annoyed, and pushed the plate in front of Gan Man: "Forget it, without meat, I don't even want to eat rice."

Gan Man:......

Mao Hong: ...

You're still hungry.

This is the first time Ye Xiqing has ever had trouble even getting food after traversing so many worlds; it's truly defying the heavens.

But no one in this world will tolerate her, especially Mao Hong.

People who waste food are guilty of a heinous crime!

In the dead of night, the entire base was dark, except for Ye Xiqing's laboratory, where the lights were still on.

I use the public electricity for lighting, then I use it to boil water for myself, and I also unplug the refrigerator to save the public electricity.

Carrying the kettle, I poured hot water into the noodle bowl.

As hot water was poured in, bright green dried coriander leaves floated to the surface. Ye Xiqing then broke the chicken and ham sausage into pieces, tossed them into the water, and pressed them onto the dough.

Instant noodles are a culinary marvel; their concentrated aroma is so potent it can almost kill you.

Ye Xiqing never imagined that one day she would be so moved by a bowl of instant noodles.

But when the instant noodle soup entered my mouth, the fragrant and spicy flavor exploded on my taste buds, and I almost cried. I felt completely saved.

Ye Xiqing gratefully finished the soup and placed a small makeup mirror on the table.

The small mirror reflected half of her figure.

She's become very skilled at this now.
