Chapter 407 Tracking
"Damn it, I've been having nosebleeds for no apparent reason lately. I saw a doctor, but they couldn't find anything wrong." Eiffel tilted his head back and rinsed his nose with water, which took a while to clear. "Maybe it's too dry in the castle. Several of my colleagues also have nosebleeds occasionally. Jing, aren't you a Chinese doctor? Can you take a look at what's going on?"
Jingshu was silent for a while. She knew nothing. Her medical knowledge came from the unreliable Baidu. When she searched why runny noses were all the same color, it meant various cancers.
But for some reason, Jingshu's first instinct was that there was something wrong with this castle! The material of the castle might contain a large amount of unknown radiation!
Jingshu threw over a ball made of diluted spiritual spring water and hawthorn, "It's not a big problem. Take some of my ancestral pills, and I guarantee you'll be cured." At the same time, Jingshu decided to drink more spiritual spring water every day in the future, and not come out to complete a task and unknowingly risk her life.
After eating, Eiffel felt much better all over. "Thank you, Jing, you are such a good person. Your medicine is really effective. Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria now."
With Eiffel's hospitality, the group came to the castle's grand restaurant. The food here seemed cleaner and more upscale than that in the black market. There were even normal beef burgers from before the apocalypse. However, Americans love fast food and like to eat meat. Vegetables are usually salads, but there are many huge chicken breasts here.
In short, the restaurant looked normal, and that mess of vegetables was Eiffel's favorite vegetable salad.
The vegetables inside were surprisingly the mutated and strange vegetables grown in the farm today!
Eiffel grabbed two bowls of vegetable salad! Jingshu found it odd to see those vegetables with roots and small potatoes growing on top of them. However, Xiao Hei and the monk were not picky eaters at all. They each grabbed a bowl of meat and ate it with great pleasure.
The food at the castle is really good! A lot of people come to eat here, and most of them have the typical American body type, with more than half being obese.
Jingshu didn't even move her chopsticks. The food was too weird and looked disgusting. She couldn't eat it.
"Eiffel, do you usually eat vegetables that you grow yourself? What about the food that you develop?" Jingshu asked.
"Yes, this is the best food in the castle. Oh my god, I should take you to see the new vegetables developed by the Research Department. They have added a lot of hormones and catalysts, and they can produce a lot in a day. Those vegetables taste terrible and we don't know what the consequences will be. But there are still 700,000 to 800,000 homeless people in Austin. We must feed them. As long as they don't kill anyone, it's fine."
Eiffel shrugged, chewing on some indescribable vegetables with big mouthfuls, and nodded. "By the way, the glowing material above was named 'focusing stone' by Dr. B. It has a special function. Eating crops illuminated by it will increase our resistance and immune system. That's why many people like to bask in the light of 'focusing stones.' After eating these vegetables, I really feel a lot stronger. Look at my muscles."
Eiffel said, raising her fist to show off her newly acquired muscles.
...Is it really that good?
Who is Dr. B? Jingshu wants to meet this person. Everyone in the castle seems to admire this person because Dr. B invented this new material called 'focusing stone' which can emit light and heat by itself in the apocalypse, solving the biggest problem of the apocalypse. Austin Castle is preparing to store a large amount of various foods in exchange for various other supplies.
The entire Austin Castle is in a state of booming ambition. Everyone who can enter the castle is trying to find ways to earn more food, and many farmers have also started planting land.
No matter from which perspective, Austin Castle is currently developing rapidly. It will be the only city that lives the same as before the apocalypse.
Yang Yang took Hao Yun to complete other tasks, but it was not smooth. Hao Yunlai was really scared these days. He encountered the slave owners many times. If it weren't for Hao Yunlai, the matter would have been exposed long ago.
Zhen Nantian took Tank and a few others to start making arrangements outside.
Things were progressing smoothly on Jingshu's side. Xiaohei and Heshang successfully got the position of Jingshu's assistant.
Several days passed in a flash. In order to verify the effect of this magical focusing stone, Jingshu divided the seeds given by Eiffel into three batches. One batch was planted under the focusing stone, one batch was planted in a room with no light but only electric lights, and the last batch was planted in the spiritual field in the space.
The seeds planted under the focusing stone germinated but died. The second batch germinated in the room but grew slowly and were malnourished. They were weak and died halfway through their growth. Only those grown in the spiritual field grew normally, but much slower than other herbs.
That day, Eiffel brought a woman wearing a black spacesuit and a space helmet to the place where Jingshu cultivated medicinal herbs.
"Failed again?" Eiffel looked at the withered seeds on the ground with some disappointment. When he looked at Jingshu again, his eyes were evasive and a little pity.
Jing Shu pulled out several pots of lush medicinal herbs from under her large bulletproof cotton coat and said, "All the herbs I tried to cultivate under the focusing stone failed, but I have managed to cultivate some using my own secret recipe."
"Oh my god, you did it, Jing, you're amazing! You've done something amazing! Can this be cultivated on a large scale?" Eiffel danced excitedly. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Dr. B's assistant, S."
Madam, this is Miss Jing, the Chinese doctor."
Eiffel said humbly: "Yes, yes, but it's so hard to cultivate medicinal herbs. Can we ask Dr. B to take a look and see if it can be used?"
"Well, wait for me to report to Dr. B."
Having said that, the cold lady left without even looking back.
Jingshu narrowed her eyes, her mind moved slightly, and she controlled several small snakes to follow them. At the same time, she asked, "Aren't they wearing too thick clothes? Do they need to wear space suits in such a hot place? And a helmet? Isn't the air breathable?" When Jingshu asked this, she completely ignored the fact that she would rather die of heat than not wear a bulletproof cotton jacket and cotton pants.
Eiffel smiled and explained, "You don't know, the environment they work in with Dr. B is very dangerous. They need to extract useful substances from various biochemical radiation every day, so they dress like this every day."
