Bai Shuang reached out and handed it over, saying, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to take this?"
Lu Yu: "It's just a status symbol, nothing special."
Bai Shuang sensed something was wrong, her face darkening. "I can't take this. If you don't take it back, we can't be friends anymore."
Lu Yu was afraid she would get angry, so he took the card back and handed her another business card instead, asking, "Is this okay?"
Bai Shuang took it; it had the words "Lieutenant General Lu Yu" on it. "This is about right."
The two subordinates were also stunned. What was their boss doing?
"If you ever need anything, ask them for help."
After saying that, Lu Yu turned and left. He had other matters to attend to and needed to return to the military camp. His two subordinates followed him.
Bai Shuang wondered, what tricks is Lu Yu playing? He clearly had a business card, but he gave her a jade pendant instead.
Ten minutes later, two boxes of gold bars and a box of bullets were brought down from upstairs, the same ones used for the pistol from earlier.
Bai Shuang only accepted a box of gold, and the two brothers said to leave it there for now, as they might need to help her later.
Unbeknownst to Bai Shuang, the two warriors were whispering amongst themselves in the hallway.
"I never expected the boss to be a girl chaser. Do you think he can win over Miss Bai? He even gave her his personal gun."
"I really didn't expect that. But whether we can catch up or not depends on Miss Bai. If we can, that would be great. Miss Bai is a capable person; things will be much easier for us from now on."
Bai Shuang asked Bai Jiu and Bai Chang to sail the boat with the soldiers upstairs to deliver medicine to the front line of the disaster relief effort. When they arrived, the soldiers were still there salvaging supplies.
The other people in Building C, seeing Bai Shuang interacting with high-ranking military officers, felt even more awe towards her.
That evening, Bai Shuang picked up the gun Lu Yu had given her and examined it closely. Fortunately, the bullet type was the same as Lan Ying's, so she could use the bullets stored in her spatial storage. The handle was already worn smooth, indicating that it was used frequently.
I thought to myself, if he gives me this, does he still have a gun to use? Such a high-ranking officer shouldn't lack guns, right?
Regardless, in this apocalyptic world, the person who gave me a gun is quite nice; it's something that can save your life.
This incident made Bai Shuang realize the importance of medicine even more, and she thought of the pharmaceutical factory. Only two months had passed since the natural disaster, and the temperature wasn't high; as long as the medicine was vacuum-packed and hadn't been directly exposed to water, it shouldn't have spoiled.
Putting aside the shelf life, if extreme cold comes, the liquid medicine will freeze and explode in the bottle; if extreme heat comes, it will be completely destroyed.
Therefore, she was determined to go no matter what.
Once the decision was made, Bai Jiu and the others were notified, and Dr. An was also informed.
I asked the two brothers upstairs to watch the house for me. They asked if I could leave some more medicine. The last time I sent some, it worked very well and cured many soldiers.
Bai Shuang remembered the extra box of gold bars, so she decided to go a day later.
The next day, I spent the whole day preparing another thousand bottles of disinfectant, some Bai's wound dressings, and mugwort incense.
In the morning, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I got up at 4 a.m.
After breakfast and packing up the important things at home, they took the snow leopard and Bai Jiu, released the assault boat, and headed out.
It was still dark when I left the residential area; people were still asleep. Bai Jiu was still on the boat, while Bai Shuang and Bai Chang were on guard with their guns.
The city was quiet at this time. When we were almost out of the city, we met a few people on motorcycles. They were probably also going out to find supplies. When they saw that the other party had a gun, they did not dare to get close.
At the city's exit, there were many people blocking the way by boat.
"Please pay the toll."
Bai Chang tried to raise his gun, but Bai Shuang stopped him. "How many?"
"Two jin of grain per person."
Bai Shuang casually took out 6 jin of water and rice from her backpack and gave it to him. He took it, opened the bag to check that there was no problem, and let him pass.
If it can be solved with a small amount of food, it's not a problem. As long as the other party isn't a vicious person, just let it go. Taking action won't benefit anyone.
After leaving the city, they walked for a while before Bai Shuang called a halt, released the small yacht, and put away the assault boat.
Bai Jiu and his companion were taken aback again. "A yacht!" Their young lady was truly extravagant! Snow Leopard jumped up and down with joy.
The small yacht is much more comfortable than the speedboat. The ones Bai Shuang bought were all high-end, with bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms all inside.
The pharmaceutical factory is located in Weicheng, which is separated from Tangcheng by Tongcheng, a distance of several hundred li. A round trip would take about three days.
The waters were quite wide along the way, and there seemed to be no danger. The three of them took turns driving the boat, resting, and keeping watch, changing every two hours. At noon, Bai Shuang told them to stop the boat for lunch.
There's no rush; conserving energy and building up strength is equally important.
It was drizzling outside. The awning was pulled up, and a dining table was set up on the deck. Bai Shuang took out a large bowl of steaming hot boiled fish, vegetables, and rice.
They gave the snow leopard a chicken leg and some dog food soaked in goat milk, and the three of them and the dog ate it with relish.
Bai Jiu: "I feel like we're on a sightseeing trip."
Bai Chang: "We have to thank Miss for this; otherwise, the two of us would be living a miserable life."
Bai Shuang: "With your skills, you two won't be in too much trouble, but it won't be easy to live comfortably in this natural disaster."
Supplies will only become scarcer, and the situation will only get more difficult. We're working hard now so that we can live a better life in the future.
Bai Shuang: "Enjoy life while you can, and look for supplies as soon as you can."
The reason we decided to go to the pharmaceutical factory is because Western medicine is non-renewable, unlike traditional Chinese medicine, which I can still find ways to produce.
Bai Chang: "If we don't go now, the medicine inside will spoil, and we won't be able to find it anymore."
