Wang Lan quickly extracted useful information from Boss Niu's words.
Like a mad dog!
Only when there are many of you can you kill him!
It's highly contagious!
These three points alone prove that this stress-related illness should not be underestimated.
Especially at this point in time when eternal night is about to fall, it can be described as chaos upon chaos.
This year's eternal night seems destined to be very difficult.
Wang Lan needs to make thorough preparations.
So he made a quick decision: "Boss Niu, find me a few thick, sturdy sets of clothes!"
"Okay!"
Boss Niu readily agreed, thinking to himself that this was a case of being unlucky in the physical world but profitable in the business world. With Wang Lan's bird meat, he could find a safe and secluded place to hide during the long night and get through it.
Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for a frail woman like her to face the eternal night.
In a cheerful mood, I packed the thick coat into a bag and set it aside.
Then, Wang Lan picked out a few more clothes for Sun Muchen, and also chose one for herself. She paid Boss Niu for a bird leg and a wing, and then left carrying the two bags of clothes.
Boss Niu stood at the shop entrance, reluctantly seeing him off. "Xiao Wang, if you need to vent, just go find Aunt Niu. She's strong and capable; one chicken wing will do!"
Wang Lan unconsciously quickened her pace.
Sun Muchen suddenly realized something and turned around, "Brother, do you also want to vent?"
Wang Lan's expression changed. "You're talking nonsense!"
Sun Muchen was shocked: "I guessed right!"
"I don't!"
"You have! You've even gotten faster at walking!"
"I'm here to buy medicine!"
What medicine should I buy?
"Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers!"
Wang Lan said seriously, "Didn't you hear what Boss Niu said? You can get infected after being bitten. The emergence of this disease will definitely exacerbate the danger to Yongye."
“Oh—” Sun Muchen trailed off with a meaningful tone.
Then he and Wang Lan went into the pharmacy.
Rare medicines are always expensive, especially now that eternal night is approaching and the infectious stress disease is raging on.
The preciousness of medicine becomes extremely important.
Price increases are inevitable.
In fact, apart from needing painkillers, Wang Lan doesn't care about antibiotics or similar medications.
The reason for buying it was still for Sun Muchen.
Having a system at your disposal, especially after acquiring the "Bloodlust" skill, allows you to repair your own damage by inflicting damage on enemies, enabling timely counterattacks and perhaps even immunity to stress-related illnesses.
But Sun Muchen is different. She is just an ordinary person. Whether it is being bitten by a patient with stress disorder or suffering from inflammation due to a common injury, it is not something a young girl like her can bear.
Wang Lan needs to be prepared for both possibilities: protecting herself is important, but ensuring access to medicines is equally important.
Therefore, whether the price of medicine rises or falls, or whether the price is ultimately reduced or not, is irrelevant as long as Sun Muchen's safety is guaranteed.
Three bird heads, two bird legs, four wing tips, and wing roots.
In return, I received 6 antibiotic pills, 12 anti-inflammatory pills, and several painkillers.
This is undoubtedly an astronomical price, but Wang Lan believes that the succulent is worth it!
It's totally worth it!
The two left the pharmacy and bought some more items they would need during the Eternal Night.
For example, salt can be used to marinate meat, extend its shelf life, and make it edible during the night.
For example, the large biscuit cereal is made from flour ground from wild vegetables. It tastes terrible and is hard to chew, but it's incredibly filling.
For example, scrap iron, after forging and polishing, can be used as arrowheads.
......
It was almost dark when...
The two went home.
From a distance, I could see that the door to my house was wide open.
It's obvious that someone ransacked the house.
Such things happen frequently, and the two of them are used to it. This is the consequence of not having anyone at home during the day, but fortunately, they had made adequate preparations in advance.
The pots, pans, and the remaining carcass of the bird were buried under the tree.
Anyway, the temperature in the soil is low, so the meat doesn't spoil easily.
After carefully placing the exchanged items and marinating the meat, a "thump" sound came from outside.
The final fortress has been lit.
Night fell.
After dinner, Wang Lan set out a chair, lay down to rest, and supervised Sun Muchen's studies.
The day's shopping spree left Wang Lan feeling utterly exhausted, even more so than hunting.
Sun Muchen, on the other hand, seemed excited and happy, and obediently went to study.
I heard that before the mutation, women's greatest pleasure was shopping. It seems that this is an interest ingrained in their genes, and it has not changed even in this chaotic world.
Night deepened.
Sun Muchen went to bed, but perhaps still excited, and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"Brother, are you asleep?"
In the darkness, Wang Lan opened her eyes. "Not yet."
“You seem to be in a bad mood,” Sun Muchen said. “Ever since we went to the pharmacy, you’ve seemed down, and I’ve noticed it all.”
"What are you looking at?! Close your eyes and go to sleep!"
"Brother, you don't actually need to change my medicine so many times. You know, good luck has always been on my side."
That's the truth.
Within the safe zone, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even during the day, no one dares to be home alone. Thieves are afraid of being discovered, and it is not uncommon for them to kill people while stealing. But Sun Muchen has never experienced this before.
As long as she's home, no one will steal anything.
Moreover, the winters after the mutation were long and exceptionally cold. Even wearing the thickest clothes could not withstand the biting cold, and some people would freeze to death every winter. Even Wang Lan would inevitably catch a cold and get a fever. On the other hand, Sun Muchen would shiver from the cold, but he never got sick.
"So, bro..."
"I'll count to three, then quickly close your eyes and go to sleep!"
Sun Muchen immediately shut up.
Wang Lan turned her head to make sure Sun Muchen had indeed closed his eyes before she closed hers herself.
He didn't actually want Sun Muchen to worry.
This was the first time I had experienced an eternal night since Aunt Yang passed away, and it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
Without Aunt Yang's help and protection, can they safely get through the eternal night?
Moreover, the emergence of a strange stress disorder in the safe zone has further increased the danger level of Eternal Night.
The more Wang Lan thought about it, the more agitated she became.
But Wang Lan isn't the only one who's anxious.
Since the emergence of stress disorder, the entire survivor city has been filled with fear, with everyone worried that someone trying to survive in a house might suddenly have a breakdown and start biting their own people.
This feeling, coupled with the approaching eternal night, makes it difficult for people to fall asleep.
But outside the safe zone.
The mutated beasts and monsters seemed to sense this negative emotion as well, and they began to gather around the border wall in increasing numbers.
They growled softly, then roared wildly!
The sounds converged and spread to every corner of the city, reaching everyone's ears.
Everyone was trembling with fear.
Unease, anxiety, fear, dread…
A variety of emotions lingered in everyone's heart.
Tonight, no one will be able to sleep peacefully...
