Chapter 21 Cold Injury Ointment
In the warm basement of the villa, Gu Nian was drowsy.
Next to her was an old-fashioned radio. Under the cold fog, the network signal in Jiangcheng was completely cut off, but the old-fashioned radio could still be used throughout the city.
A voice mixed with noise came from the radio: "According to the notice from the city's meteorological observation station, the temperature at the center of the cold fog is currently close to minus 180 degrees Celsius. The temperature is stable and there is no trend of further decline. The average temperature in the city is minus 130 degrees Celsius. Please pay attention to cold protection and listen to the cold protection notice on time."
One hundred and thirty degrees below zero. It seems that the temperature has exceeded the critical point of minus one hundred degrees. If the temperature continues to stabilize and does not drop, perhaps there is hope that the temperature will warm up... Gu Nian smiled bitterly. This natural disaster completely overturned people's concept of temperature. When the temperature goes from one hundred and thirty degrees below zero to one hundred degrees below zero, everyone will strangely think that the temperature is warming up.
Gu Nian sighed and continued to play stand-alone games on the sofa. Although it was comfortable to stay in the basement for a while, being confined in a fixed space for a long time would only make people gradually lose the concept of time. Gu Nian had never felt that the days were so long. She had already completed several big-budget games one after another.
In the glass kettle beside him was sour plum soup with ice balls. Gu Nian took it and gulped down a large cup. Gu Nian used the prepared ingredients to make this sour plum soup, which was mellow, sweet and sour. The cold sour plum soup slid down his throat into his stomach, which soothed the heat in his body.
Staying in a room with electric heating on for 26 hours, people will always feel thirsty more frequently and get angry easily. Drinking a glass of iced sour plum soup at this time is no different from a kind of enjoyment. Even Lotus Cat can drink more water than usual during this period.
"Master, when can we go out?" Lianhua rubbed Gu Nian and asked.
"It'll be soon, just wait a few more days." Gu Nian stroked Lianhua's fur and said comfortingly.
The situation of the Jing family was much worse than that of Gu Nian's family. Jing Li only had time to install floor heating in the basement of his villa and move in a solar generator, but he did not have time to build an independent power supply system. During the cold fog, the government limited the power supply to each household in order to ensure electricity use. This amount of power was not enough to power the entire basement, so Jing Li and his grandfather could only squeeze into one room to save as much heating electricity as possible.
Staying in a closed little room for a long time without any entertainment made Jing Li feel extremely depressed, and he could only grit his teeth and hold on. The more he was in such a situation, the more desperate he became, and he even suspected that this cold fog would never pass, and he could only die in the room. In addition to this mental torture, the physical coldness also greatly wore away his will.
The cold fog was filled with snow and wind, and the efficiency of the solar generator was extremely limited. Jingli stored the limited solar energy that could be absorbed during the day in the battery to ensure that there was enough power when he went to sleep at night, and he could adjust the floor heating temperature appropriately. Because of this, the floor heating was not enough during the day, and he and his grandfather had to wrap themselves in heavy clothes. Even so, he still felt numb and his limbs were freezing and painful. This was an unimaginable low temperature in his life!
There was no time to install a wind circulation system in the basement, so there were only the original vents. Jingli had to poke the vents open with an iron rod every once in a while. This was also the coldest time. Once the vents were opened, the cold fog from outside would rush in immediately. Even though there was still warmth coming from indoors, it was unbearable for Jingli.
Fortunately, Jingli had a martial arts foundation passed down from his family, and his physical fitness was greatly enhanced after the spiritual energy tide, so he did not get injured by the cold. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be frozen to the point of amputation and disability.
Every time this happened, Jing Li was extremely grateful that he had listened to Gu Nian's advice and installed insulation and floor heating in the villa. If there was no insulation on the ground villa to shield the outside wind and snow, and the basement with floor heating to provide warmth, I am afraid that he and his grandfather would have frozen to death in this cold fog!
Gu Nian tore off twenty pages of her calendar. Finally, there was hope that this period of isolation would end.
An announcement came from the radio: "According to the notification from the Meteorological Bureau, the temperature today has risen to minus 60 degrees Celsius. If the temperature has completely stabilized, the city will organize residents to effectively resume going out. Citizens are requested to pay attention to the cold warning notification. Citizens are requested to pay attention to the cold warning notification..."
The broadcast gave Gu Nian hope. She had never been so eager for a cold weather alarm in her life. Three days later, the piercing alarm finally sounded throughout Jiangcheng again!
Gu Nian put on heavy clothes again. Warm clothes, sweaters, thin down jackets, fur coats, windproof snow boots, wrapped herself up like a heavy leather ball, and did not forget to drink a cup of cold-resistant soup. In case the outside world is still extremely cold, she can rely on the cold-resistant soup to resist for a while, even if the time is not long, as long as she can hide in the farm space. Gu Nian originally wanted to send Lotus back to the farm space, but Lotus insisted on sharing the joys and sorrows with her owner. Of course, it may also be because of the cat's curiosity... In short, Lotus now stays on Gu Nian's chest, revealing only a pair of pointed ears and cat eyes.
Standing at the door connecting the basement to the outside world, Gu Nian took a deep breath and pried the door open with force! Yes, she had to use a crowbar. The lock of the iron door had been opened, but the gap in the iron door had been tightly condensed with ice crystals, firmly fitting the iron door and the door frame together. Gu Nian exerted force with both hands, exerting her greatest explosive power. After several consecutive efforts, she finally heard the creaking sound of ice crystals breaking, and the iron door slowly opened.
Gu Nian took Lianhua and walked carefully to the ground floor of the villa. Gu Nian almost didn't recognize his own villa. All the doors and glass windows were covered with thick frost! Even if the doors were closed, the house was still covered with frost. It seemed that the cold air really penetrated every hole.
Gu Nian pried open the iron gate of the villa and entered the small garden. The small garden was in an even more miserable state. The original greenhouse glass had been completely crushed by ice and snow, and a thick layer of ice had condensed on the vegetable field, which looked like the frozen soil in Antarctica. The heavy iron gate and concrete wall outside the villa were covered with a thick ice wall, at least 20 centimeters thick.
The entire community was deserted. Perhaps Gu Nian was the first person to go out and explore. In the distance, Gu Nian even saw several human-shaped ice sculptures on the roadside of the community. With her current eyesight, she could even see the terrified expressions on the faces of the ice sculptures and their steps that were about to rise... Gu Nian sighed. She didn't know why these people didn't make it home in time when the cold fog came, so they froze to death on the roadside. Even in this villa area full of wealthy people, there were such cases. I'm afraid that there were more people who died in the whole of Jiangcheng.
Whenever this happened, Gu Nian was thankful for the prophetic dream that night, which allowed her to prepare well and survive the cold fog in the warm basement. In that prophetic dream, Gu Nian was not prepared at all. Although she survived the initial cold wave because of her good physique, she died of hunger and cold on the roadside during the migration from Pingcheng to the south. But now the prophetic dream has changed her tragic fate. Gu Nian finally survived the cold fog, which made Gu Nian's heart shadow disappear. This time, she must have a way to survive!
While the cold-repellent soup was still effective, Gu Nian began to clean the ground area of the villa. She used a small hammer to carefully knock off the frost and ice that had condensed everywhere, then swept them into the trash can and dumped them on the roadside. After three days of hard work, Gu Nian finally cleaned the interior of the villa and the doors and windows.
During these three days, Gu Nian did not see anyone in the villa area. Three days later, Gu Nian finally saw some scattered figures on the road outside.
Finally, people reappeared on the ground like green shoots reborn after the rain.
Perhaps it was because of the cold fog that broke through -100 degrees that the humans who survived became stronger. Under the guidance of the government, all industries began to resume work and everyone was busy relocating. All major factories moved underground in an orderly manner to save heating electricity, and people who still lived on the ground also moved to live more closely together to facilitate heating.
This cold wave killed millions of people in Jiangcheng. Some of them did not have time to hide in the shelters when the cold fog came, some were residents of several large communities that lost heating because the power supply system collapsed in the cold fog, and some were people whose houses had poor thermal insulation and could not withstand the cold fog... Jiangcheng had only three million people before the cold fog, and after the cold fog, there were less than one and a half million people left. The survival rate was less than 50%, which was already a very high number in the entire Dragon Country. You know, in other cities, only three or four out of ten people survived, and among those who stayed in the north, only one out of ten survived.
The population of the entire Dragon Country has dropped drastically, and those who survived are the lucky ones. The leading big country on the Blue Water Planet is facing such a tragic situation, and many small countries have been directly destroyed after the cold wave, and the people of an entire country have died silently. The Blue Water Planet has suffered this natural disaster together, and all mankind is a community of shared destiny.
Even though the productivity was severely short after the cold fog, the Jiangcheng government still gathered people and erected a memorial in the city center square. The square was silently filled with handmade flowers. In the current climate, fresh flowers are almost impossible to find. People spontaneously found paper, scraps of cloth, and bits of wood at home, made handmade flowers, and quietly placed them under the memorial.
The dead have rested in peace, but the living must move on.
The Jiangcheng government launched the underground city plan. Based on all the original underground facilities in Jiangcheng, including underground parking lots, air raid cabins, etc., they rebuilt passages and then radiated outward to build a huge underground building complex that could accommodate the surviving people in Jiangcheng. To this end, the government released a large number of jobs. The construction of the underground city urgently needed a large number of construction workers, absorbing many unemployed residents in Jiangcheng.
Old industries died and new industries reappeared. For a time, Jiangcheng actually showed a state of post-disaster recovery.
Gu Nian’s cell phone finally had a signal.
Messages kept flashing in the work group of the No. 3 cold-proof warehouse electrician team.
"It was so scary. When I think back to the day of the cold fog, I feel like I have never been so scared in my life." Captain Lao Chen complained in the group. Lao Chen is usually a tough guy who doesn't talk much, but he actually said this, which shows how scary the cold fog was.
Because the power supply in the city is limited, the family of four had to huddle in one room and turn on all the electrical appliances in the room to keep warm. Although they survived the cold fog, the family of four could only eat and move around in a small room of 15 square meters. You can imagine how bad it smelled. If the cold fog lasts longer, people will go crazy.
"Captain, you're still lucky. Living in the cold-weather warehouse is simply..." Xiao Huang complained, "More than a dozen people are squeezed into an area of 7 or 8 square meters, and we're with strangers. The conditions in the cold-weather warehouse are simply not a place for human beings to live in. It's worse than a pigpen..."
Xiao Huang lived in a relatively high-end compartment in the cold-weather warehouse. Even so, the days of living in the cold-weather warehouse were painful, which showed how poor the living conditions were. Gu Nian couldn't help but feel lucky again that he was able to buy this villa and complete the renovation before the natural disaster.
With the signal, Gu Nian finally logged into the forum again. As soon as she entered the forum, her private messages flashed wildly.
Gu Nian opened it and saw that it was a message from the customer who bought the cold-resistant soup last time.
The first merchant on the forum: "Are you there? I want to order a large quantity of soup to keep out the cold."
The fish has taken the bait. Gu Nian smiled slightly. She had tried it herself and was very confident in the effect of the cold-resistant soup. Although the official cold-resistant clothing can withstand a certain degree of severe cold, it is too heavy and seriously affects the efficiency of movement. In addition, if the cold-resistant clothing is damaged outdoors, people are likely to freeze to death in the wild. At this time, drinking the cold-resistant soup can at least hold on until rescue arrives. For evolvers who can withstand a certain degree of low temperature, drinking the cold-resistant soup can also make them wear lighter clothes, which will form an advantage in battle.
In extremely cold weather, the cold-resistant soup produced by the farm kitchen can be said to be a life-saving elixir. Gu Nian did not intend to sell such a thing at a low price. The price of 500 credit points was just to test the waters on the forum and make a name for himself as soon as possible. However, Gu Nian did not expect that repeat customers would come so quickly and ask for large quantities of goods at the first time.
Gu Nian sent a message back: "The maximum supply is three bottles now, 2,000 credit points per bottle."
Kong Feibai had been following the forum news. When the news about the hoarding Xiao Gu came, he checked it almost immediately. But he never expected that the hoarding Xiao Gu would raise the price on the spot and quadruple it in an instant!
The first merchant on the forum: "It's too expensive. I can give you 2,000 at most."
Stocking up Xiao Gu: "Dear, my cold-proof soup is a unique product that is only available in this forum. You have seen the effect. The new product promotion has ended and no bargaining (*▽*)"
Damn it, this hoarder Gu used the cutest expression pack and asked for the most ruthless price. Kong Feibai immediately knew that he had met his match. This hoarder Gu knew the value of the Warm-Warm Soup very well and made it clear that he was not going to give in. But this Warm-Warm Soup was indeed a rare good product, so Kong Feibai planned to bargain in another way.
The first businessman on the forum: "I'm a businessman. I have basically all the goods you are looking for. I'll give them to you at the lowest price. But how about giving me a discount on this cold-repellent soup?"
Gu Nian was stunned. Is this guy really a businessman? She thought his ID was just a random online name. Gu Nian typed a line of words tentatively: "Do you have any spirit crystals?"
The first merchant on the forum: "Yes, 300 credits each."
This price is reasonable. Gu Nian has been waiting for Spirit Crystals on the forum recently. The price of one Spirit Crystal is about 650-550 credit points, and it is often sold at one or two. Moreover, the forum transactions do not include shipping. If she wants to buy Spirit Crystals in large quantities, she needs to make multiple purchases, not to mention paying several shipping fees. It is very troublesome to buy. Not only is the price given by the first merchant on this forum cheap, but Gu Nian can also buy all of them with one shipping fee.
Gu Nian sent a message back: "A serving of Warm-Warming Soup is 2800 credit points. There is no way to get any less."
2800 credit points, this price is acceptable to Kong Feibai. I think those teams who often go to explore the wilderness will not mind buying a few cold-weather soups to save their lives in times of crisis. After all, in the wilderness, you never know when the temperature will drop suddenly. Kong Feibai agreed immediately.
Gu Nian was also very satisfied with the deal. She placed orders on the forum just to increase her fame. In fact, she had decided from the beginning to find merchants to sell in large quantities. If she sold them one by one, it would be troublesome to send them by express delivery, especially now that transportation is inconvenient and postage is high. If she met players from other places who were far away, it would be troublesome to negotiate the postage, and she might have to reply to after-sales service on the forum, which would cost her time every day. It would be better to ship directly to wholesalers to save trouble and effort. Moreover, Gu Nian was in need of spiritual crystals at the moment, and Kong Feibai solved her urgent need.
After thinking for a while, Gu Nian sent another message. "I have some ointment here, do you want it?"
Kong Feibai was about to refuse. He had many ointments for treating external injuries. Since the cold wave came, some Taoists and Chinese medicine practitioners have become evolvers. These people have family traditions and use mutant plants to refine medicines to sell. Although these people cannot make magical medicines like the Warm Cold Soup, they can make a lot of ointments.
But Kong Feibai immediately saw the introduction sent by the hoarder Xiao Gu.
"Cold injury ointment, applied on the surface of the skin, can treat chilblains and frostbite caused by low temperatures, allowing the limbs to recover and move freely. Tests have shown that it can completely heal the body."
Completely recovered. When Kong Feibai saw these four words, he couldn't take his eyes off them.
Because of the extremely low temperature, eight out of ten people now have frostbite, and once frostbite occurs, a large area will appear on the skin. These frostbite caused by the cold are almost difficult to heal. Many people speculate that perhaps because the cold air is full of spiritual power, these frostbite caused by the cold air can be said to be wounds caused by spiritual energy, which are not so easy to heal. Most people can only use some frostbite cream to relieve itching, which can only relieve it to a certain extent, and it needs to be applied every once in a while.
Kong Feibai sent a message with tears in his eyes: "How many credit points?"
Stocking Gu: "A box weighs 30 grams and costs only 200 credit points. I can provide you with 80 boxes for your first order."
During the cold fog, Gu Nian only made eight boxes of cold injury ointment and five bottles of cold-proof soup, and the remaining spirit crystals all became kitchen waste. She realized that compared with the cold-proof soup, the cold injury ointment was more suitable for dumping in large quantities. A finished product of the cold injury ointment is basically 300g, and it can be divided into ten boxes if it is split and sold in 30g portions. Moreover, this thing is a long-term consumer product. Even if the cold injury ointment cures frostbite, it may freeze again at any time under such extremely low temperatures. For this kind of ointment with a very high repurchase rate, it is more appropriate to take the route of selling at a low price and in large quantities. And things like cold-proof soup that are used to save lives should of course be priced high.
200 credit points! Kong Feibai was relieved by the price. He was afraid that Xiao Gu would ask for a high price for the stock. After all, for non-lethal wounds like frostbite, if the cold injury ointment was sold too expensively, even if the effect was good, many people would probably choose to buy other ointments to make do. However, at the price of 200 credit points, Kong Feibai was confident that he could sell a large number of them.
Kong Feibai replied quickly: "Then I will order 80 boxes of cold injury ointment and three bottles of cold-proof soup. Since this is the first transaction, we will use the forum to guarantee the transaction, and I will pay the handling fee."
The so-called forum guaranteed transaction means that the buyer transfers the money to the forum account, and the seller sends the goods to the forum warehouse. After verification by the forum, the goods will be forwarded to the buyer, and the buyer's money will be transferred to the seller. Of course, if the forum verifies that the transaction is incorrect, the goods will be returned to the seller and the payment will be returned to the buyer.
It's normal for Kong Feibai to be cautious with such a large amount of credit points. Gu Nian replied: "Okay. I also want to place an order for 60 spirit crystals. Let's use the forum to guarantee the transaction."
Kong Feibai quickly calculated the bill and decided that he only needed to pay 50 spirit crystals and 9,600 credit points to Xiao Gu, the one who stocked the goods.
The two quickly finalized the details of the cooperation. Kong Feibai sent 60 spirit crystals to the forum warehouse and transferred 9,600 credit points to the forum account, while Gu Nian sent 80 boxes of cold injury ointment and three bottles of anti-cold soup to the forum warehouse. After the forum confirms, Gu Nian will receive the spirit crystals and credit points, while Kong Feibai will receive the cold injury ointment and anti-cold soup.
-------------------------------------
After this cold fog, evolved humans began to appear in the eyes of ordinary people.
Under the cold fog, the spiritual energy content of the Blue Water Star increased again. Many people have begun to evolve without realizing it. Their bodies have evolved without them realizing it. Their strength and speed have undergone earth-shaking changes. They have also become more cold-resistant. Even without wearing cold-proof clothing, they can enter the mountains and forests where the temperature is far below minus fifty degrees Celsius.
Such people have become what the public calls evolved people. Now even the Jiangcheng radio has begun to mention the emergence of evolved people intentionally or unintentionally. For these people, Jiangcheng has also provided new jobs, that is, exploring the wild. After the cold fog, animals and plants have mutated in large numbers, or to put it another way, in today's natural environment, for animals and plants that cannot burn electricity or oil for heating, as long as they can survive, they have successfully mutated. The existence of so many mutated animals and plants in the wild is a huge threat to the city.
A large number of troops have been deployed along the outskirts of Jiangcheng for regular patrols. They kill mutant animals immediately when they see them, and a 10-kilometer safety zone has been cleared around the edge of Jiangcheng. All large wild animals in the safety zone are expelled. As for the aggressive mutant plants in the urban area, they are also centrally cleared. However, even so, there have been many incidents of mutant animals and plants injuring people in the outskirts of Jiangcheng, killing 150 people and injuring more than 300 people.
Outside the suburbs of Jiangcheng, the authorities called on civilian evolutionists to form teams and go out to explore the wild. According to the requirements, for each exploration record completed, the authorities would generously give high credit points. As for the mutant plants and animals brought back from the wild exploration, they could be sold at a good price.
For a time, the evolved people became the envied social elite, and teaming up to explore the wild became a popular profession with high risks and high rewards. These people were called wilderness hunters by society. The area outside the city was also called the wilderness.
In Qingpu District, Yangcheng, there is a grocery store that has a high reputation among wilderness hunters. The owner has a complete range of goods and has many connections, so he can get goods that are hard to buy outside. Many wilderness hunters choose to replenish supplies here and also ship goods here.
Feng Chun is the leader of a wilderness hunter team. He is a retired soldier. After his discharge, he and his comrades opened a bodyguard company. After the cold wave, the company went bankrupt. His power increased significantly, so he simply transformed himself into a wilderness hunter and formed a team with several similarly evolved comrades. Their team has high tactical quality and quickly completed several wilderness exploration missions released by the official, thus gaining some fame.
Today Feng Chun went to the grocery store to restock supplies. "Boss Kong, five more boxes of biofuel, two boxes of insect repellent powder, and a searchlight..." He listed a long list of supplies in one breath, then half leaned against the counter, waiting for the boss to get the goods for him. But Feng Chun always felt that his arm was getting more and more itchy. He pulled up his sleeves and saw that the large piece of chilblain on the palm of his left hand had ulcerated, and the whole arm was densely covered with more than a dozen abscesses, all of which were frostbite.
Feng Chun scratched desperately, his skin was covered with scratches, and even several scratches were broken. Only then did he feel that the itch deep in his soul was relieved. Damn, this frostbite is really tormenting. Nowadays, the cold air outside may be carrying spiritual energy, so the frostbite caused is difficult to heal. The frostbite cream on the market can only relieve it at most.
He reached into his pocket for a tube of frostbite cream, but couldn't squeeze any out, as it was completely used up.
"Fuck, this is so fucking annoying!" Feng Chun cursed.
At this time, a box of ointment was handed over. Feng Chun looked over and saw the smiling face of the boss Kong Feibai. "Try this cold injury ointment, it's a new product I just got, maybe it will be useful."
The box of ointment was very small, similar to the sample packs of cosmetics that Feng Chun's wife bought, and it looked like the boss had packed it himself. Feng Chun felt embarrassed to take advantage of Kong Feibai, but his arm was getting more and more itchy, so he thanked him, took it and rubbed it on his arm.
The ointment was a beautiful translucent jade color. It felt a little spicy when touched on the skin, but then it turned into a refreshing feeling and was quickly absorbed by the skin. Almost immediately, Feng Chun felt that his skin was no longer itchy! This was really magical! It worked better than any ointment he had bought before!
Unfortunately, there was not enough ointment in this box, and Feng Chun only had time to apply a layer of ointment on the few large chilblains on the back of his hands. After all, it was originally given to customers. Feng Chun quickly asked, "Boss, how much do you sell this chilblain ointment for?"
"250 credit points. By the way, this is called Cold Injury Ointment." Kong Feibai said with a smile and handed a box to Feng Chun.
250 credit points? This price is not low, but it is not high either. The most famous frostbite cream nowadays is Doctor Ji's ointment. He was originally a Chinese medicine practitioner, but also became an evolver. He always bought mutant plants to develop frostbite cream. Therefore, a box of frostbite cream can be sold at a high price of 300 credit points, and it is often out of stock.
This box of cold injury ointment is more effective than Doctor Ji's! Feng Chun quickly made a judgment. Not only is this cold injury ointment 50 credit points cheaper, but one box is also more substantial than Doctor Ji's frostbite ointment! Thinking of his own torture and the frostbite on his teammates, Feng Chun immediately paid for two boxes.
After resting for two days, Feng Chun led the team to go on another mission. This time they needed to explore a river 20 kilometers south of Yangcheng. Everyone took the recorders distributed by the authorities and recorded videos along the way. They also needed to use the recorders to test the characteristics of plants and make corresponding landmarks. When encountering mutant beasts and aggressive plants, they needed to classify them according to the official standards and mark the locations of mutant beasts and aggressive plants. Only in this way could the exploration mission be considered completed.
At noon, everyone camped and rested on the spot. Feng Chun was traveling with another team, and the two teams agreed to explore together. Although the reward was reduced, the safety factor was higher.
A group of people were chatting in the camp. Lao Gao, the captain of another team, handed Feng Chun a cigarette. "Captain Feng, you are quite skilled," Lao Gao said.
Feng Chun took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Hey, you're not bad. If you want to explore this damn place, you need some skills."
Lao Gao nodded in agreement, and the two began to chat, getting more and more interested. Lao Gao took out some hot tea and shared it with Feng Chun. At this time, Lao Gao took out a box of frostbite cream from his pocket, and when he opened it, the box was empty. Lao Gao sighed, "It's gone again! I have to go back to Doctor Ji to buy some. I didn't have it last time, and I don't know if it's in stock this time."
Cigarettes and hot tea are good things now, Feng Chun didn't want to take them for free, so he took out the cold injury ointment from his pocket and handed it to Lao Gao. "Try this medicine, I bought it at the grocery store, it can cure frostbite."
Lao Gao took it and thanked him. After trying it, his eyes widened. This medicine is so effective! The itching stopped immediately after applying it!
Lao Gao didn't take it seriously, but until the afternoon when the team was recalled to the city, he didn't feel any signs of frostbite. He lifted his sleeves and saw that the dead skin on the frostbite had even begun to fall off, showing obvious signs of improvement!
Hunters who often walk in the wilderness, who doesn't have frostbite? After all, the temperature in the wilderness is lower than that in the city. If the average temperature in the city is minus 50 degrees, then the temperature in the wilderness is as high as minus 70 degrees. At night or in some special areas, it can be even colder. This frostbite cream can be said to be a must-have item.
Lao Gao hurriedly found Feng Chun and asked, "Captain Feng, where did you buy that cold injury ointment? How much did it cost?"
"The grocery store, the one owned by Mr. Kong. 250 credit points." Feng Chun said.
250 credit points! It's cheaper than Doctor Ji's frostbite cream, and it's more effective! Thinking of the fact that Doctor Ji hadn't restocked the product yet, and the pain and itchiness of the frostbite treatment, Lao Gao, a tough guy, felt his legs go weak. He quickly said hello to Feng Chun and rushed to the grocery store.
-------------------------------------
For wilderness hunters, frostbite is not only painful, but also accompanied by a bone-deep itching that makes it difficult to control themselves and greatly affects their reaction speed, which is fatal in the wilderness full of dangers.
In the wilderness, Jiang Hong's hand shook, and the bullet that could have hit the target missed the target. A mutant black bear took the opportunity to escape and disappeared into the forest.
Jiang Hong cursed. He stretched out his hands, two frostbites on the left and three on the right. He pulled up his sleeves and saw frostbite on his arms and calves. He scratched for a long time, then gritted his teeth and went hunting again.
Jiang Hong is also a wilderness hunter, but he is a lone ranger. Lone rangers like him often do not take on exploration missions, but specialize in hunting and gathering, hunting mutant beasts and collecting officially designated mutant plants, which can also be exchanged for a large number of credit points, and they can also avoid some of the troubles that are inevitable when working with a team.
Unfortunately, Jiang Hong's frostbite was always itchy, and the itchiness became more and more severe as time went on. Jiang Hong let his prey escape several times and was even almost bitten by a mutant snake.
No matter how strong you are, you still have to be afraid of being tickled! Especially the itch caused by frostbite can go all the way to the bones, and even make people want to scratch the skin, and scratch the muscles and even bones under the skin to stop the itch! Jiang Hong couldn't help but scratch the frostbite, as if he was possessed by a demon, and he scratched until deep blood marks appeared before he felt the pain.
No, let's go back to the city and buy some frostbite cream. Jiang Hong made a quick decision. He had brought enough supplies this time, but he didn't expect that there was not enough frostbite cream, so he had to return to the city halfway.
On the way back, he saw several hunters going from Yangcheng to the wilderness, all talking about frostbite ointment.
"I just went to the grocery store. There's a new cold ointment there. It's very effective. Let's go now..."
"Don't tell me, that medicine is really effective! It's very effective in treating frostbite. The itching will go away after applying it!"
Grocery store? It would be called a grocery store, there was only one store. Jiang Hong turned around and walked towards Kong Feibai's store.
As soon as he entered, he saw several small plastic boxes placed prominently on the counter, with a note on them that read "Cold Injury Ointment."
He quickly grabbed a box, took it to Kong Feibai to pay, and paid with credit points before taking it away.
-------------------------------------
Less than seven days after the cold injury ointment was sent out, the number one merchant on the forum sent a message to Gu Nian: "Is the cold injury ointment still available?"
Gu Nian raised her eyebrows in surprise. A full 80 boxes were sold out so quickly? She sent a message: "Sold out?"
The first merchant on the forum: "...Yes, hurry up and stock up."
"Okay, how much do you want?" Gu Nian asked.
The first businessman in the forum: "I want as many as I can get."
Gu Nian estimated the output and said, "I can give you 200 boxes."
This time, it took two or three minutes for the forum's top merchant to reply: "The credit points have been transferred to the forum account. As usual, the transaction is guaranteed."
Gu Nian was in a good mood. She had sold the Warm-Proofing Soup and Cold-Injury Ointment to the No. 1 Merchant on the forum some time ago, earning 60 Spirit Crystals and 9,600 credit points.
