Chapter 8: Never settle for a meal
In fact, Yao Tao didn't come back just to save Li Lin.
She found the exit and got out smoothly.
Because the exit was covered by layers of plant leaves, no one discovered it in the previous life.
After going out, Yao Tao found two pharmacies across the street.
The buildings were severely damaged, the survivors had already evacuated, and the medicines were scattered all over the ground with no one paying attention to them.
How could she miss such a good opportunity to stock up?
Yao Tao immediately invested in a new round of 0 yuan purchases.
The only two types of drugs that are useful after human infection and mutation are: one is antipyretic drugs, and the other is anti-allergic drugs.
She put all the medicines into the space, both intact and broken.
By the second year after the apocalypse, even damaged or expired medicines were hard to come by.
Looking at the anti-allergy medicine in her hand, she suddenly thought of someone.
Just like Li Lin, he saved someone but ended up getting hurt.
That was a doctor named Zhang Lifeng whom she met during her liver transplant.
In the previous life, in the first year of the apocalypse, the hospital was luckily preserved intact, and many infected patients went to the hospital for help.
Zhu Hua once got infected and was cured in that hospital.
However, as the apocalyptic environment continued to change, many people with ulterior motives began to target the hospital.
They formed their own teams to grab supplies, and it was inevitable that they would suffer casualties.
At such times, doctors and medicines are urgently needed.
So they went to the hospital to steal medicine and forcibly kidnapped doctors and nurses.
The last doctor in the hospital who was not arrested was Zhang Lifeng.
Because he learned martial arts Sanda, many teams were unable to deal with him.
In the end, the hospital’s medicine was exhausted, but Zhang Lifeng still refused to leave the hospital.
He stayed alone in the hospital until the end of the second year after the apocalypse, when a team leader came to see him with his woman.
The woman had difficulty giving birth.
He tried his best but only managed to save the woman, and the child died.
The team leader turned hostile on the spot and cut off one of Zhang Lifeng's arms with a knife.
It turns out that the team leader only wanted the child, and he didn't care whether the woman could survive or not. Anyway, in the end times, as long as he had supplies, he could have as many women as he wanted.
Later, Yao Tao heard that Zhang Lifeng had survived and was still treating patients, until one day, he died at the hands of a mutant animal while trying to save a child...
Zhu Hua once mentioned Zhang Lifeng in a sarcastic tone, saying that he was a fool.
At that time, she did not agree with Zhu Hua's point of view, but did not dare to refute it.
She remained silent, like most people in the apocalypse, with a heart as hard as iron.
She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a loudspeaker on the road guiding the survivors to a nearby temporary shelter.
I looked at the time and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.
After collecting supplies for the whole afternoon, I felt a little hungry.
She didn't want to go to the temporary resettlement site because she would meet Zhu Hua there.
She didn't want to see Zhu Hua now.
She worried she might be tempted to give him a cut-throat meal.
Killing him now would be too easy for him.
She wanted him to fully enjoy the "happiness" of the end times.
Without her space, she wanted to see how Zhu Hua would have the confidence to form a team in this life and how he would get the supplies to feed his men.
The loudspeaker continued to sound, and survivors appeared one after another, heading towards the resettlement site.
"Hey, little girl, you're going the wrong way. The resettlement point is behind you." A passerby reminded her.
"Oh, I have to wait for someone first..." Yao Tao evaded the question.
The man then walked away.
Yao Tao took the opportunity to return to the entrance of the underground floor of the hardware wholesale city and went in.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided to wait until dark before taking action.
The survivors at this time did not realize that the end of the world was coming. They thought it was just a natural disaster and everything would pass.
Most people don't have the awareness to collect supplies.
Tomorrow morning, when the sun comes out, a second plant mutation will occur, more buildings will collapse, and finding supplies will become more difficult.
By the time the survivors react and search for supplies to save themselves, more mutant animals will appear one after another.
The risk of searching for supplies back then was a hundred times greater than it is today.
Fill your stomach before taking action at night.
Yao Tao spread out the picnic mat and sat on it. She connected the breakfast machine to a portable power bank and made bread, cheese and ham sandwiches.
She cut the pears into small pieces with a knife and put them into a portable juicer to squeeze out the pear juice.
After taking a bite, I felt like something was missing.
After thinking for a while, she took out a bottle of honey from her backpack.
Pour some honey into the pear juice.
Mm, it tastes really good!
Li Lin's jaw almost dropped to his feet.
I must be hallucinating...
He touched his forehead.
Yes, it must be caused by fever.
He actually saw Yao Tao making sandwiches and drinking pear juice.
The air was filled with the fragrance of fruit. He had never known pears to smell so tempting.
The wheaty aroma of bread also whetted his appetite.
It’s an illusion, it must be an illusion!
Who would have the appetite to eat after all the killing?
Just lie down for a while, maybe you will feel better after a good sleep.
He lay on his back, put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes.
Yao Tao didn't care at all what Li Lin would think after seeing it.
Anyway, he was having a high fever right now and was almost delirious, so it was normal for him to have hallucinations.
Besides, she didn't want to just make do with the meal.
In her previous life, she almost vomited from eating biscuits and instant noodles.
Anyway, with the backpack covering her, Li Lin had no idea how she took out these things.
Even if we take a step back, if Li Lin dared to ask her, she would chop him to pieces.
I didn't save you so that you would ask too many questions.
Fortunately, Li Lin was very sensible. He closed his eyes and rested quietly. After a while, the medicine took effect and he fell asleep.
Yao Tao enjoyed a delicious meal alone.
The bread crust heated by the breakfast machine has a crispy texture, and the cheese melts when heated, becoming fragrant and smooth.
Take a bite and pull out long strands.
Served with ham, it has a sweet taste with a hint of saltiness, a rich taste and distinct layers.
Then take a sip of the sweet honey pear juice...
Cool!
Yao Tao let out a relieved sigh.
Anyone who only knows how to stock up but not how to enjoy is a big fool.
There are delicious foods and drinks available, so why do we have to squeeze into the base with others and suffer?
Besides, even if there would be someone to protect us in the base, the intrigue among the survivors would never stop.
If you are not careful, you will be cheated.
She made up her mind that in the year before the official Ark base ship arrived from the sea, she would build a comfortable "home" for herself.
Collect more supplies and then stay at home for a year.
Yao Tao ate and drank her fill, and did not leave any for Li Lin.
When Li Lin woke up from his coma, it was already eight o'clock in the evening and Yao Tao had left.
However, she sealed the roller shutter door at the entrance of the store tightly, so no mutant rats could get in.
Li Lin fumbled for the flashlight, turned it on and found a bottle of water and two boxes of medicine on the ground.
He picked up the medicine and found that it was the same medicine he had taken before.
He knew that this was left for him by Yao Tao.
He put the medicine away with a wry smile and sighed in his heart: She saved his life again.
