"Not yet, but you can go and see. What are you doing with all this meat?"
"The suggestion is thrown away. The meat of the sabertooth has a strong ammonia smell and is difficult to handle."
"Didn't you say you can eat it?"
"Yes, you can eat it, but this kind isn't very tasty. The fierce porpoise ones are delicious, but they're too powerful and hard to get."
They crossed the ice-covered parking lot and came to a metal gate. The key was inserted in the keyhole. Max walked to a body frozen into an ice sculpture beside the metal gate and carefully moved it aside.
"What's wrong?"
"She's not here! Never mind, you've already helped me. I'll tell you what the pharmacy is short of."
"...The country has been stockpiling anti-radiation drugs since before the war, so those things are not very valuable in the station. And spectrum antibiotics are of no use now. The current microorganisms have changed too much. It's better to get some Chinese patent medicines, which are here. These are drugs like nitroglycerin. As long as you find the right patients, you can sell them for a good price. But I still suggest selling them all to the service area. They can better preserve the drugs, which can save more people. And these painkillers and anti-allergic drugs can be stored in a refrigerator at home. There is no need to sell them to them. These controlled drugs can be sold in small batches to some guys who are suffering from illness. Don't say I'm black!"
"They have needs, and we want to make money. It's a win-win situation. Besides, as long as we don't get caught, we haven't broken the law. It's not shady at all!"
"What is this?" Jiang Ling noticed that there were some dark red powders stored in small tubes on the shelves, and these shelves were marked as blood banks.
"Ah, that's actually a good thing to bring. That's substitute blood. Mix it with saline solution and it can be used as red blood. The half-life is about a month, so it's basically completely metabolized in about three months. It's best to bring some. Those who have over-radiation will really need it. I don't think the station will be able to synthesize it anytime soon because it requires high-purity iron."
“Is it troublesome to keep this?”
"No, as long as it's kept away from light and moisture, it's fine. It's just that most people don't understand how to use it, so it didn't become a common medicine."
"Where are the vitamins and children's medicine? Don't I need to take some cancer medication or something?"
"No, those are on their list of things that need to be synthesized. As for anti-cancer drugs, they have some in stock, but most searchers won't live to the age of getting cancer. If the situation improves in a few years, they will probably synthesize some in bulk."
Soon, both Jiang Ling and Max's backpacks were overflowing with various medications. Jiang Ling stuffed about half of the backpack with substitute blood, covering it with some cardiovascular medications, and padding it with some traditional Chinese medicine for immunity. The smaller compartments were replaced with these painkillers and other neurological medications. She didn't see what Max took, nor did she care. They definitely couldn't take everything here alone, and they couldn't even take away all of the items.
"Let's go. If that person is your love, then the key belongs to you!" After Max came out, Jiang Ling closed and locked the warehouse door, and then put the key in Max's pocket.
"Thank you! If you need anything else, you can take me with you!" Max didn't leave immediately. He took a roll of transparent tape from his waist and sealed the keyhole and the gap in the warehouse door as much as possible. He said, "This way, we can keep those treasures for a longer time. People will thank us later!"
As they passed by the corpses of four saber-toothed beasts, Max seemed to recall something: "You can pry out their largest tooth and take it away. It's said that there will be a strange competition among the searchers. They will string the teeth into strings and hang them around their necks. Then, you know, like the natives!"
"So you can sell them the teeth? Like some kind of hoarding or stamp collecting thing?"
"That's about right. I'll teach you. Just use a sturdy iron rod or a dagger..." Max gradually lost his words as he watched Old Joe lift the carcass of a sabertooth with one hand. He stared, mouth slightly open, in amazement as Old Joe used his fingers to weave around the sabertooth's fangs. The next moment, the sabertooth fell to the ground, its mouth devoid of any teeth.
"Are you sure you only want the canines? They all look pretty much the same to me."
"No, how did you get them down? We had to use a crowbar to get one down!"
In the end, Jiang Ling only recovered three canine teeth; the others were damaged during the battle. This "experienced" searcher explained that these teeth only had a slightly modified structure, and their actual material was similar to human teeth, so forget about sharpening them into weapons.
Jiang Ling gestured at these chisel-like teeth, which were ten centimeters long on average. In the past, these fangs mostly came from tigers and lions. If we use this analogy, stringing them together and hanging them around the neck does have a wild feel.
Coming out of the underground garage, the two felt the wind pick up again, prompting them to quicken their pace. Jiang Ling was about to put the tooth she was tired of playing with back into the small bag at her waist, but after a moment's thought, she used a radiation detector to measure the tooth's radiation level.
"I say, have those searchers who wore their teeth died of radiation sickness?" Jiang Ling saw the red danger light flashing on the detector, and a line of small words below it read 240 microsieverts.
"Uh? I really don't know!"
Jiang Ling quickly threw the teeth away. She was a little scared. She'd felt something was off when she'd just been playing with them. She'd thought it was the residual warmth of the recently deceased dogs. "Next time you see someone wearing teeth around their necks, stay away from them! Remember! It's not the animals that are dangerous, it's the teeth!"
