Chapter 464 Sold Cheap
The epidemic is rampant in Shaanxi Province.
It is said that many people with supernatural abilities and ordinary abilities in Shaanxi Province have all fled if they have the means.
Although there is no epidemic at Tianning Base now, it is only a matter of time before it comes.
After all, we couldn't even prevent better conditions before the apocalypse, let alone after.
According to Duan, the entire Shaanxi province has fallen.
"I don't know what kind of infectious disease it is, it's terrifying."
In the post-apocalyptic world, medical resources are even more scarce than food. Various medical equipment, medicines, and even medical personnel are extremely scarce and in short supply.
Probably because they were heading towards Shaanxi Province, they traveled for two days before encountering a large group of people seeking refuge in Chu Province.
This group included men, women, young and old; they were probably traveling together.
However, a dispute seemed to have broken out at this moment. A group of people were clearly confronting four people. Among the four people was an elderly woman, probably in her fifties or sixties, with most of her hair white and her body extremely thin. She was wearing a somewhat dirty mask and was coughing incessantly.
The older woman was protected by the three men in front of her, while the man at the head of the group looked at one of the women opposite him with some disappointment.
Because of Ling Ran and the others' arrival, the group went from a standoff to a united front against a common enemy.
This place is open and there are no zombies.
Ling Ran and her group planned to have lunch here, but they didn't expect to run into this group of people.
Pei Yi got out of the car and, seeing the group's wary expressions, explained, "We're just passing by and resting here. This place is so big, we can just take a spot. You can continue your business."
The group looked at Pei Yi and his companions with suspicion and wariness, but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had found a relatively distant place to set up camp and rest.
They were about to reach Chu Province, and they didn't want any unforeseen complications.
Then a standoff ensued.
The man leading the group of four said, "Luo Hongying, are you sure you're not coming?"
The woman named Luo Hongying looked to be around forty years old. She was dressed rather warmly, wearing a mix of summer and autumn clothes.
Not very tall, standing next to one of the men, his eyes were somewhat evasive: "Yuan Chengfei, it's not that I don't want to come, but Mom keeps coughing and is very likely infected. We should get rid of her, otherwise she will drag us all down sooner or later."
"well!"
The man, Yuan Chengfei, was furious. He laughed angrily and said, "I, Yuan Chengfei, must have been blind to have fallen for a woman like you. From today onwards, we'll go our separate ways."
As soon as Yuan Chengfei finished speaking, the woman coughing behind him, who was Yuan Chengfei's mother, tugged at his sleeve and said between coughs, "Xiaofei, you should just throw me away. My health is already not good, and I will only be a burden to you brothers if I stay."
"Mom, what are you saying!" Yuan Chengfei immediately retorted, "You're my own mother. You raised me and Xiaoxiang from a young age. How could we abandon you? Wouldn't that be an act of divine retribution?"
Yuan Chengxiang quickly chimed in, "That's right. When we were little, Mom, you never thought of us as a burden. You raised us brothers all by yourself. Now that you're old, if we just abandon you, wouldn't we be worse than pigs and dogs?"
Yuan's mother coughed a few times, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"If you have this intention, I can die without regrets."
"Mom," Yuan Chengfei quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness."
“That’s right, my older brother, Wenwen, and I are all superhumans. We’ll find a way once we get to the base.”
Luo Hongying, watching this heartwarming scene, found it extremely irritating, as it made her seem heartless: "So what if you're superhumans? With her like this, she can't even get into the base. If she's found to be infected, cough, forget about helping her, she'll probably just kill her."
"Luo Hongying, you don't need to say anything more. From now on, the affairs of our Yuan family are none of your business."
"If it's unrelated, then it's unrelated."
Luo Hongying pursed her lips: "I'll be better off without you guys."
Despite their outstanding abilities, because they have a mother-in-law who constantly needs medication, their lives are not much better than those of ordinary people.
Because most of the crystal cores and points earned were used to exchange for medicine.
But that medicine is so expensive!
Including her, there are four people with superpowers in their family. It's already difficult to support a mother-in-law who takes medication, let alone others.
Go live your good life.
Yuan Chengfei said something, then helped his mother away from Luo Hongying and her group, getting closer to Ling Ran and the others.
He glanced cautiously at Ling Ran and the others, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they did not drive them away.
Ling Ran was leaning back in the recliner, a tablet propped up in front of her, watching a variety show.
Su Yimo sat on a small stool next to her, seemingly watching a variety show, but actually listening intently to gossip.
Of course, what she didn't know was that Ling Ran was the same.
After listening, Su Yimo whispered a summary: "Yuan Chengfei and Luo Hongying are a couple. It's probably because Yuan Chengfei's mother got sick, and these people suspected that she was infected with the epidemic and refused to travel with them anymore. Luo Hongying, who should have been on their side, betrayed them, and then the two groups started fighting."
"Um."
Ling Ran glanced at Luo Hongying's side.
There are so many people over there, roughly twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and more than half of them are people with superpowers.
However, she looked into a corner where a person was wrapped up very tightly, with only his eyes and some bare facial skin showing, and his body twitched occasionally.
It was lunchtime, and everyone stopped to rest and eat in this temporarily safe place.
Most people eat convenient and filling foods such as steamed buns and flatbreads.
Ling Ran's large-scale operation quickly attracted the attention of others.
The aroma wafted through the air, but everyone ate their food with a sense of boredom. Looking towards Ling Ran, no one dared to utter a sound.
These people were clearly not to be trifled with, so everyone just watched and drooled, not daring to provoke them.
Yuan Chengfei and the others also took out food from their bags. After noticing Ling Ran's situation, they hesitated for a while before Yuan Chengfei got up and walked over: "Hello, gentlemen, do you have any quick-acting heart medicine? Or cold medicine and fever reducers? I would like to buy some."
As he spoke, he took out several green crystal cores from his bag; they were level three crystal cores.
Shen Nianshen walked up to him and said, "One pill of cold medicine and fever reducer contains one crystal core, and one pill of quick-acting heart medicine contains five crystal cores. The crystal cores must be level three."
"Yes, yes."
Yuan Chengfei quickly took out the crystal core: "I need five cold medicine pills, five fever reducers, and five quick-acting heart medicine pills."
Shen Nian sensed the subtle excitement in the group of people and knew he had sold it too cheaply.
Actually, he had already increased the price several times over compared to the previous selling price, but it was still cheaper than expected.
