Shen Jing doesn't like dehydrated vegetables; she bought them initially for resale.
She later became a post-apocalyptic merchant in order to exchange dehydrated vegetables for the supplies she wanted.
"You have them? You have dehydrated vegetables?!"
Shen Jing took a bag of dehydrated vegetables from the back seat.
The ingredients include carrots, cabbage, potato slices, green vegetables, and scallions.
The shelf life is 12 months, but even outside of that period, it's still in high demand.
The staff member was about to take it with a smile when Shen Jing picked it up first.
How long can a bag of dehydrated vegetables be kept?
"Um, you can stop for two months!" He kept looking towards the back seat as he spoke.
Shen Jing understood; she still had several hundred boxes of dehydrated vegetables in her space, enough to be used as parking fees.
After completing the parking procedures, the staff personally escorted them back to the quarantine area.
It's not because of this small amount of supplies that we're being treated differently.
Rather, it's to prevent people in quarantine areas from using parking as an excuse to enter the base prematurely.
However, he was quite enthusiastic. As we walked, he explained, "After you leave the quarantine area, someone will take you inside the base, where you can rent a house in the service area."
Shen Jing nodded. She had experienced it all in her past life, but she still asked in a friendly manner, "How do I rent it?"
"Hehe, they're all delivering supplies or other items of equivalent value."
How is equivalent value determined?
"I can tell from your accent that you're from S City, right? Tsk tsk, that must be tough. I heard they were flooded there!" The staff member looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't delve into it. "My younger brother went to S City to work. I heard they have nutrient solutions there, which makes it much more valuable!"
"Isn't it here yet?"
"Hey, don't even mention it. My brother grew up playing in the snow. We only found out about it when he braved the snow to bring the nutrient solution home..."
It was also thanks to his younger brother's contributions to the base that he was able to get the lucrative job at the parking lot!
His eyes flickered, then he said in a low voice, "There are viruses in the flood that can drive people crazy. We don't dare to drink that water anymore. Nutrient solution is better. It can be drunk like water and can also help us withstand the cold and hunger."
Shen Jing understood; they wanted to find out if she had any nutrient solution.
Believe it or not, besides Gu Yan's daily needs, her space also has a considerable amount of nutrient solution in stock.
They were all extorted from Liang Lefu.
Before the flood, he had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Zheng family, and he always said it was all thanks to Shen Jing.
Shen Jing readily accepted the supplies that were delivered to her door.
"Yes, we were lucky to leave before the flood."
She didn't reveal any information about the nutrient solution, since her ability detection was only activated occasionally and she could detect any unusual activity.
Even if they really had ulterior motives, Shen Jing would simply send them on their way.
The environment in the quarantine area is really not good.
Shen Jing looked at Gu Yan's furrowed brows and took a blanket out of her backpack. "Just get through one day."
They were assigned to shared rooms, so even if there were supplies, there was nothing they could do, because the quarantine area was basically all dormitories.
If a tragedy occurs, and there are infected individuals with long incubation periods whose infections have mutated, then we'll be truly in deep trouble.
Gu Yan hugged Shen Jing with a blanket and whispered, "The man at the door is the infected person."
Shen Jing thought to herself, "So I was the one who was wronged."
"It feels like the incubation period is getting longer and longer."
"The concentration of the virus is different, but mutation is inevitable."
"If the incubation period exceeds 24 hours..." It's unimaginable that infected people have already entered the base.
Gu Yan patted her forehead and said softly, "Rest, turn your powers back."
Shen Jing shook her head. "There are infected people here. How can I feel at ease if the radar isn't turned on?"
Neither Shen Jing nor Gu Yan had ever considered the possibility of informing on someone to the staff; it was something that couldn't be explained away.
The best approach is to eliminate him when he is very slow in the early stages of his mutation!
Moreover, when Shen Jing detects that an infected person is about to mutate, she can use her supernatural abilities to briefly control his body.
"That's unnecessary." Despite saying that, Gu Yan obediently put away the mutated vine.
"Yes, he was holding a child in his arms."
Sensing Shen Jing's mood, Gu Yan stroked her curly hair and said, "You should get a haircut."
Shen Jing hummed in agreement, her attention still focused on the child.
Only the adult was infected; his child was fine, but life wouldn't be easy for him from then on.
The dormitory-style dormitory was a mess, and even the areas near the ventilation openings smelled foul.
She was unable to eat and could only drink a bottle of nutritional fluid.
Gu Yan leaned closer to her ear and said, "Actually, there's another way."
Shen Jing immediately turned to look at him, "Hmm?"
"You are now required to go out as an infected person..."
“He will be shot dead on the spot,” Shen Jing continued.
“You’ll be even more upset if he hurts the child.”
"I am not the Virgin Mary."
Damn, but I still feel terrible.
She thought of drowning herself on the shore.
He died instantly in the car accident, without even leaving a last word.
That child was destined never to hear her father's last words, because after mutating into a zombie, he was no longer her father at all.
However, such tragic scenes will only become more and more common...
Then the children will also become powerful zombies, pointing their sharp teeth at humans, and so on.
"Dad? What's wrong?"
"Don't worry, Daddy's just... a little itchy." He started to slowly scratch his neck.
"Are you hungry?" the child whispered, nestled on his father's shoulder. "I saved half a cookie for you, Daddy."
“Baby, be good, Daddy’s not hungry…” He was so hungry, he stared intently at his daughter’s neck.
"Dad? Dad?"
People sitting next to him started to move away, probably because he had contracted some strange disease.
Why did it start convulsing?!
The crowd witnessed the man's transformation and were so frightened that they stared wide-eyed and quickly moved away.
"Run! He's definitely about to mutate!"
"Kill him right now! Big brother! Big brother with the gun, come quick!"
"Ahhhh, don't push me..."
Only the girl was still crying, clinging to her father's neck and refusing to let go.
Even though her father was convulsing, he couldn't shake her off.
She just cried out loudly, "Don't hit my dad, please don't..."
"Waaah, Daddy's just sick... Waaah..."
At such a young age, he already knows what "killing" means.
She knew what death meant; her mother had never returned after her death was confirmed.
Having already lost her mother in the heavy snow, she didn't want to lose her father too.
"Yaoyao, be good... Yaoyao, be strong from now on... live on..."
"Yes... Dad... went to find Mom first..."
"Don't... cry... anymore..."
