Chapter 465 The Strange Man
After the transaction with Yuan Chengfei was completed, the people on the other side were also eager to make a move. Before long, a man came over to buy antipyretics.
Shen Nian Shen immediately raised the price: "One cold medicine pill for ten level-three crystal cores."
The man was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "Didn't you just have five crystal cores?"
"The price has gone up."
"you……"
The man wanted to curse, but when he saw Shen Nianshen's confident face, he swallowed his words and said aggrievedly, "Two pills, please."
He took out twenty green crystal cores and handed them to Shen Nianshen.
Shen Nian Shen cut two pills from a strip of fever reducers and gave them to him.
He looked at the fever reducer in his hand. Just one box could sell for a high price. He never expected that the price of this medicine would keep rising after the apocalypse.
The adults had casually given away a lot of these bases before; they've made a killing.
The transaction was completed, and Shen Nianshen was about to leave when he saw a man, who was heavily wrapped up, stand up from the corner and walk over. He raised an eyebrow slightly.
He had actually noticed this person as soon as he arrived.
It may seem insignificant to others, but the more insignificant it is, the more attention it will attract. After all, they've been around for so many years and have plenty of experience.
Even as the man walked, his body was still twitching, as if he had some serious illness.
This isn't meant to insult him, but I genuinely think he must have some kind of illness.
He walked up to Shen Nianshen without saying a word, but took out thirty crystal cores and pointed to the fever reducer, indicating that he wanted to buy three.
All business is done the same way. Shen Nianshen did not refuse to sell to him because of his strangeness. He took the crystal core and cut three fever-reducing pills for him.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but when I accidentally touched the back of the man's hand while handing him the medicine, it felt incredibly hot.
Shen Nianshen had some doubts, but didn't say anything more.
Soon, the whispers of those people dispelled Shen Nianshen's doubts.
"Mo Yu is really rich. He bought three fever reducers without even blinking. He's already a level four ability user. Does he need fever reducers?"
"They probably want to resell them; after all, investing in antipyretics is a sure thing."
"Indeed, if I had the money, I would like to buy a few pills too. When the epidemic spreads to Shaanxi Province, the antipyretics will definitely be as expensive as they are in Shaanxi."
"But who exactly are these people? I've never seen anyone with such abundant supplies before, they can even sell medicine."
"Medicine is nothing. Look at the food they make, the portions... even the base commander wouldn't eat this well all year round. And that pig, it's really fat. When it's slaughtered, we can eat it for half a year."
Wu Tong, who was lying not far from Ling Ran's feet, twitched his ears upon hearing these words.
It couldn't be bothered to argue with these humans; they would never understand its place in the hearts of adults.
While those people were whispering about Ling Ran and his group's origins, Uncle Chen and his group had finished preparing their dishes.
The dishes were placed one by one on the large round table, including pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and vegetables—everything imaginable was available.
Each person received a large bowl of fluffy white rice.
Even the pigs, whom they thought would be eating leftovers, were given a large basin full of meat that was about to overflow.
Depend on!
Even a pig is being fed so well!
Wait a minute, isn't that braised pork? You, a pig, are eating pork? That's outrageous!
But it tasted really good!
The group, who had just finished eating steamed buns and other food, started having rumbling stomachs again.
I'm so hungry! I really want to eat!
Seeing others living a good life is more painful than killing them!
Wu Tong accepted these envious and jealous looks with ease. There were plenty of people who envied and resented him; who did they think they were?
That kind of look will only make it eat even more.
Wu Tong ate with loud smacking sounds.
This made those people swallow even louder and their stomachs rumble even more.
Fortunately, Ling Ran came to their rescue: "Wu Tong, stop making noises while you eat."
Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the pig replied, "Yes, sir."
This...this!
Pigs can actually talk!
Isn't it said that animal mutations are just ordinary mutations? I've never heard of them being able to talk!
Everyone who looked at the pig was starting to question the meaning of life.
However, since everyone has superpowers in this apocalyptic world, they are quite accepting of pigs being able to talk.
Lunch and a midday rest became exceptionally difficult to endure, with some people simply lying on the grass, covering their ears, closing their eyes, and going to sleep.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Of course, some people looked at Ling Ran's side as if they were being tortured, and even thought to themselves, "These people have such abundant supplies, will they throw away the food they can't finish eating later?"
That way they can pick them up and eat them.
Although it seems unlikely, since every grain of rice in the apocalypse would be used, I can't help but have this hope.
Ling Ran naturally didn't notice their situation. After finishing her meal, she took her afternoon nap in the makeshift tent as usual.
After Yuan Chengfei finished his simple steamed bun, he took out some water and gave his mother some cold medicine.
Because the symptoms of the disease, namely the M1 virus, are very similar to those of the common cold and fever, people with colds and fevers tend to adopt the attitude of "better to miss the opportunity than let it go" and simply take them to a place to fend for themselves without treatment.
At this moment, Yuan's mother was coughing and had a runny nose, which were early symptoms of the M1 virus. So when those people heard that Yuan's mother was coughing, they immediately wanted to distance themselves from Yuan Chengfei and the others.
That's fine, since they were just temporarily traveling together to join the Tianning base and didn't have any real feelings for each other.
Yuan Chengfei only hated Luo Hongying. Before the apocalypse, both he and his mother treated Luo Hongying very well. His mother could say that she treated her like her own daughter. But as soon as his mother coughed, Luo Hongying immediately ran away.
If she had acted any slower, Yuan Chengfei wouldn't have hated her so much.
Even the slightest hesitation.
After administering the medicine, Yuan Chengfei was about to rest when he heard someone from Luo Hongying's side suddenly stand up and point at someone next to him, saying, "He's coughing! He's coughing!"
The person being pointed at was a man, probably in his early forties. He hurriedly waved his hands, trying to explain, but coughing is not something that can be easily suppressed, and he couldn't help but cough violently as soon as he opened his mouth.
This cough was like stirring up a hornet's nest; everyone immediately jumped three meters away, keeping their distance from the man.
"I just have an itchy throat. I don't have a cold, let alone any disease."
But when he explained, he stopped coughing, so the man could only say to his wife, "Wife, you won't abandon me, right? You're a superhuman, so you don't have to worry about me infecting you."
His wife looked hesitant.
People with superpowers aren't afraid of getting infected, it's just that the probability is relatively small. If they stay with the virus for a long time, their resistance will gradually decrease, and they will get infected sooner or later.
The man's eyes reddened: "Wife, please help me. That man has medicine. Buy some from him. I'm fine. I just have a common cough."
