"Hide it quickly, don't let anyone else see it. Eat a piece whenever you're hungry."
It's not that I don't trust others, but in the apocalypse, a single bite of food is truly a lifesaver.
If I give it to someone else, I might not survive.
"Shuangshuang, this?"
"Don't ask anything. If I can give you something, I still have more. I won't let myself go hungry."
Compressed biscuits are the most economical; a small piece can be a meal.
Moreover, it's not convenient for Wenwen to cook, so it's better to leave some ready-to-eat food.
Wenwen looked at Bai Shuang's rosy face, nodded, and accepted it.
They slept on the floor at night, and in the morning, they would take the bedding down, put it in bags, and the place would become the scientists' laboratory again.
Wenwen and her boyfriend fought for this place; they were both long-term employees and therefore qualified to live here.
It's so much better than the dorm rooms outside.
Then, Wenwen talked about Academician Liu and Liu Xiaoyang (the woman Bai Shuang had rescued from a bandit's den, and Academician Liu's daughter).
Academician Liu (the scientist Bai Shuang rescued from Yang Ling) is in good health. These scientists are all under special protection at the base, so they don't live too badly.
But Liu Xiaoyang isn't doing well. Wenwen told me that she found a boyfriend, had a miscarriage, and her health collapsed.
Conditions were already poor in the apocalypse, and my body hasn't recovered yet. I seem to be dizzy often and can't work for the time being.
Judging from what Wenwen said, it seems to be anemia and malnutrition.
"Wenwen, you absolutely mustn't get pregnant."
"Don't worry, we won't do that."
Bai Shuang's eyes widened. "You two are together all the time, how can he stand it?"
Wenwen knew what Bai Shuang meant. "You have to endure it even if you can't help it. Ever since Liu Xiaoyang had her miscarriage, I've refused that kind of thing."
Wenwen is kind, but not brainless; she will never do anything she shouldn't.
After thinking about it, Bai Shuang still left her a box of condoms. If she used them sparingly, they could last her a long time.
This meeting might be our last, but Bai Shuang still decided to help her.
Of all my old classmates, Wenwen is the only one I still keep in touch with.
When Wenwen saw what Bai Shuang handed her, her eyes widened. "Shuangshuang, you have this? This is very, very expensive."
"Don't forget, I'm a doctor, and my family owns a hospital, so naturally we have the necessary funds."
Wenwen quickly put it away, "Shuangshuang, you've helped me so much, how can I ever repay you?"
"No need to pay it back, just live well."
Wenwen rummaged through a bag for a long time and found a packet of dried mushrooms, which she insisted on giving to Baishuang.
"Shuangshuang, these are from when the sun was at its zenith. You can have them."
Bai Shuang knew that Wenwen could grow mushrooms, but these days, food is very precious, and it's not easy to store a little bit of dried mushrooms. She didn't need them herself, so she didn't want to buy any.
But it was a kind gesture from her friend, and she would feel bad if she didn't accept it, so she accepted it anyway.
"Remember, acid rain will follow the end of the polar night, so don't go out then."
"I'll remember that, Shuangshuang. You need to be careful too."
As the two were talking, Academician Liu and his colleagues arrived at work.
"Miss Bai is here!"
Everyone looked at Bai Shuang with surprise and delight.
Did you come with General Lu?
"I heard that you raise a lot of chickens and plant a lot of land during the day, and they grow exceptionally well."
Bai Shuang nodded, "With plenty of chicken manure, they naturally grow well."
As she spoke, Bai Shuang took out the information and seeds that Old Man Pao had given them.
"This was given to me by Academician Wang."
Everyone grabbed it and examined it closely.
Bai Shuang then took out two large bags of roasted peanuts and melon seeds from her bag and gave them to them.
"Try it, I planted it during the midnight sun."
There are too many people, so it's not appropriate to give anything else.
Then, Academician Liu talked about Liu Xiaoyang's situation and asked Bai Shuang if there was any way to help him.
"I just heard Wenwen describe the situation. It seems to be caused by excessive blood loss, leading to anemia, malnutrition, and a mild infection."
Pay attention to the nutrition of your meals. If you don't have enough, you can eat more dried insects, but make sure they are not moldy. Keep warm and avoid catching a cold.
"I have a few Angelica Blood-Nourishing Pills here, you can take them."
Academician Liu: "How could I possibly accept this?"
Everyone knows how expensive medicines are these days, let alone the precious Dang Gui Bu Xue Wan (Angelica Blood-Nourishing Pill).
"We've met, it's fate, take it and use it, I don't have any more."
Seeing that others were also looking over with envy in their eyes, Bai Shuang took out a few more packets of mint tea from her bag and distributed them to them.
Coming to the Tangcheng base felt like returning to her hometown, to her mother's home, so she wanted to find peace of mind.
When Bai Shuang came out of the agricultural research institute, Lu Yu had just finished discussing everything.
Despite repeated attempts by the base leaders to persuade them to stay, Bai Shuang and her team refused.
During a rat infestation, it's not advisable to linger. The rat repellent at the area where the planes are parked has limited effectiveness. Besides, Bai Shuang wouldn't be comfortable living in a safe house like that.
As Bai Shuang and her group approached the door of the safe house, they saw a group of people waiting there.
Upon getting closer, I realized that it was someone from Building C of the original Yichen residential complex.
Komatsu stood in front.
"Sister Bai Shuang, everyone heard you're here and wants to meet you."
According to Xiaosong, of the original residents of Building C, only about ten people remain; the rest died for various reasons.
Bai Shuang smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see everyone again."
"Miss Bai is as radiant and beautiful as ever."
"You flatter me."
Xiaosong: "Sister Bai is a fairy."
Bai Shuang then took out some melon seeds and peanuts from her bag and distributed them to them.
