Even more frightening is the disease caused by severe pollution from the flood, which further exacerbates the already poor living conditions and weakened immune systems.
This led to other buildings frequently throwing bodies down from there.
However, Yichen Tianfu Building C unexpectedly became a paradise due to Bai Shuang's exchange with them and the sale of specially made moxa sticks.
This was a result that Bai Shuang had not expected.
Of the people who remained in Building C, only the deceased old lady and one other person died in a fight outside; the rest are still alive.
People in other buildings only look for food and combustibles outside, while people in Building C can find anything useful, as long as it's not too old, and exchange it for food, fuel, or medicine, etc.
The moxa sticks specially made by Bai Shuang are regarded as sacred objects by them. Perhaps due to the effects of the space medicine, they say that one breath makes one feel comfortable all over, and two breaths will prevent all diseases.

On another occasion, they found a gas station but couldn't get a gas from it. They returned with the address, and Bai Shuang took two bodyguards to check it out. When they came back, she even gave each of them a small canister of liquefied gas.
So whenever they went out, if they had any leads on supplies, they would promptly notify Bai Shuang.
In the afternoon, Bai Shuang was reading and studying, with a large plate of newly harvested black tomatoes next to her. She would pop one into her mouth every now and then, and sometimes she would give one to the snow leopard leaning against her.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
