Chapter 171 I am a human being
The three people in the car all said they wanted to buy fever reducers and some cold medicine as well.
They had already collected most of the crystal cores yesterday, but when they saw so many crystal cores this morning, they thought it was too easy and got greedy.
If we had gone back yesterday, Uncle Li wouldn't have died.
Pei Yi learned the types of medicine they wanted to buy and quoted prices. They were all quite expensive, but compared to buying them at the base, it was like a 50% discount.
A hailstorm caused more roadblocks, slowing down vehicle speeds.
It was already evening, and we still hadn't reached the Star Base.
So I found a place to rest for the night.
However, according to the four of them, at today's speed, they could arrive in another hour tomorrow.
The four men were still quite surprised to see the pig jump off the pickup truck.
Is this pig a pet or food?
Wu Tong felt the four people's gazes and turned around unhappily: "What are you looking at! I'm a human being!"
The four people: "..."
Alright, a pig that understands human nature.
Because the Star Base is located in a remote suburban area, we found a villa area tonight.
Having lived in so many houses, Gu Zijing still finds villas the most comfortable. If she can find a villa to live in, she will choose to live in one.
Once inside the house, everyone quickly and efficiently inspected and cleaned the place. The four of them looked at the well-trained group with great envy.
I'm so envious of these people; they actually get to be the leg hair of a big shot.
They can do these things too!
A short while later, seeing Liu Xiuping and the others go into the kitchen to prepare dinner, the four of them couldn't help but look forward to it again.
Will they still be given food in the evening?
The thought of the hard, chewy steamed buns in their backpacks made them lose all appetite.
Pei Yi took out several boxes of medicine from Shen Nianshen.
Medicine is no longer sold by the box like it was before the apocalypse; it's sold by the pill.
He called over four people and cut the medicine open with scissors: "You need one fever reducer, one packet of cold medicine, a small bottle of alcohol, and 150 crystal nuclei in total."
The woman took out her own crystal core from her bag and then paid 150 crystal cores.
Looking at the forty or so crystal cores she still had in her hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you sell brown sugar and eggs?"
They do sell them at the base, but the price is something women wouldn't even dare to dream of.
The severe weather has led to a shortage of not only medicines but also other supplies.
"Eggs cost 10 crystals each, and brown sugar costs 5 crystals per piece."
"Then I'll take two eggs and five brown sugar cubes."
The woman was very excited, and everyone else who heard this also wanted to buy some. They calculated the crystal cores in their hands, and then used them all up.
Seeing that they still had more than two hundred crystal cores left in their backpacks, the group thought for a moment and decided to buy fever reducers, cold medicine, brown sugar, and eggs.
These crystal cores naturally belonged to Uncle Li; if they were anyone else, they might have swallowed them. But Uncle Li was truly pitiful, and his child was too young; they couldn't bring themselves to swallow the medicine that Uncle Li had risked his life for.
After exchanging the crystal cores, the four of them couldn't hide their smiles.
This trip has finally achieved its purpose.
"Are you done changing?" Su Yimo called out to Pei Yi and the others, "Come over and play cards with the adults when you're done."
Pei Xiu found the Yuno playing cards when he opened a package. Ling Ran noticed them yesterday when she was taking something out of her space, so she decided to play with them today.
I'm getting a little tired of playing mahjong all the time.
Once everyone was present, Su Yimo explained the rules of the game. Besides her, Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang also knew how to play.
