Traveling with Ma Guangnian slowed down the pace, but the harvest was also quite rich. Huo Yishen thought for a while and said, "We haven't found all the medicines we want. We will go back tomorrow."

So the group slowly walked up the mountain.

When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Ma Guangnian suddenly said excitedly, "Brother Huo, this is the Nanling wormwood you are looking for."

There was only one seedling, less than half a palm high. It was not good enough to be used as medicine. It would take at least half a year to cultivate it carefully.

He carefully dug it out and handed it to Huo Yishen, not forgetting to teach him how to plant it.

Rest when you are tired, add or remove clothes when the weather changes, just like walking a fashion show.

The temperature was almost 40 degrees at noon, and it was almost zero degrees before night.

The herbs were too precious, and Ma Guangnian was afraid that the seedlings would be frozen to death, so he took off his sprint clothes and wanted to protect them from the wind and keep them warm.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and took out the insulation film from her bag, "Use this."

They were the professor's right-hand assistants. If they were to get sick and burp here, anti-smog virus medicine might not be successfully developed.

Ma Guangnian thanked him profusely, and the team members helped protect the herbal seedlings.

Time is precious, and no one complained about being tired, nor did anyone stop working because of the cold.

Although the weather is cold, having experienced the test of extreme cold, zero degrees is not a disaster, but too frequent temperature differences make the body very uncomfortable.

Heaviness of head and feet, muscle aches, etc. make people feel like they have a fever and cold, so they quickly light a fire, boil water and eat something.

Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen were fine, their physical fitness was much better than them.

There was nothing wrong with the two of them. They didn't even breathe heavily under the protection of the thermostatic suits.

"How about we take a break?"

Jiang Ning felt a little sleepy when his biological clock came, and he was also tired after the journey.

Ma Guangnian and others had no objection, so they began to set up tents.

Drinking boiled water and eating toasted buns, Jiang Ning turned the topic to liver and lung diseases, "Brother Ma, I have relatives who lived in a city with severe smog in their early years. As they get older, their liver and lung functions are very poor. I wonder if there is any medicine that can improve it?"

"It is very difficult to maintain a bad liver and lungs. Western medicine is not very effective. Chinese medicine requires long-term medication..."

Ma Guangnian mentioned several prescriptions, including verified folk remedies, all of which are for nourishing the liver and lungs.

If the apocalypse hadn't come, an expert of his level would have to pay 1,200 yuan for a registration fee at a hospital. Not only was the number of appointments limited, but the appointment had to be made three months in advance, which was a matter of luck and hand speed.

Jiang Ning listened carefully and memorized all the prescriptions.

He listed a lot of medicines, but Dragon Grass was not one of them.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to hint further, "This time when I went out, my relatives asked me to help find dragon grass, saying that it was a very effective folk secret recipe. Is this medicine really effective?"

"Dragon grass is quite effective, but it is picky about the environment in which it grows. In the past few decades, society has developed too fast, causing great pollution. Even artificial cultivation is not efficient, so it has gradually become extinct."

Jiang Ning asked politely, "In addition to dragon grass, are there any rare special herbs?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine does not have special medicines. Only combinations can maximize the efficacy."

Jiang Ning knew this, didn't Huo Yishen forget what the key herb was called?

Forget it. There are more than 13,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, many of which are rarely used or are on the verge of extinction. Even an expert like Ma Guangnian cannot accurately guess.

Just the medicines for the liver and lungs alone would probably take three days and three nights to talk about.

Jiang Ning was a little depressed. His eyes almost popped out today, but he still didn't find the medicine he wanted.

I hope there will be good news next.

By then, not only can I grow space, but I can also share it with Ma Guangnian and others, so that I can speed up the development of medicines when the disease really breaks out.

The weather was cold, so I said hello and went into the tent to sleep.

Although Jiang Ning was not in a hurry, it was not as comfortable as home outdoors, so he still focused on efficiency.

After sleeping for two hours to recover his strength, everyone folded up the tent and continued to look for medicine.

The higher you go, the fewer herbs there are.

When we were almost at the top of the mountain, we saw the lake left behind by the volcanic eruption millions of years ago, which was desolate and barren.

In the past, during the flood season, the World Lion Dance Competition was held here every two years, attracting countless tourists.

Now, there are dead branches and fallen leaves everywhere, and the world is no longer the same as it was before.

We successfully reached the top of the mountain. The Taoist temple collapsed, and the Guanyin fell to the ground and shattered...

Looking around, the mountains and rivers were covered with charcoal.

Ma Guangnian stood at the top of the mountain and couldn't help but sigh, "How did our homeland become like this?"

Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, but life had to go on.

Instead of returning the same way, they went down the mountain along another road.

It was already noon when we reached the foot of the mountain, and it was 40 degrees hot again.

Everyone sat down in the shade and began to share the herbal seedlings they had collected.

Jiang Ning was not greedy. She and Huo Yishen got one-third of the spoils according to the number of people. Those

with more spoils were divided by the number. Those with only two plants were divided in half. Those with only one plant... could be given to Ma Guangnian and his men, but they still had to do some superficial work. "You cultivate them first, and give us some when they grow well."

Jiang Ning called Huo Yishen aside. "If we don't find the life-saving medicine, we can only go to Dongqiao Mountain."

The risk of going at dawn is relatively small. If we set out in the eternal night or haze, it will really cost us our lives.

Seeing Huo Yi's hesitation, Jiang Ning said straight to the point: "If you insist on going alone and you really encounter an accident, what will happen to Doudou and me?

I know you want to protect us, but no one can protect anyone forever in the end times.

Besides, if you really want to protect us, you have to make sure nothing happens to you.

With me, you will be safer, right?"

Huo Yi was worried, "What about Doudou and Kele?"

"If they stay in Aoyuan, won't it be more worrying? Take them with you and just keep a close eye on them."

Huo Yi thought deeply for a while and agreed.

He looked at Ma Guangnian and others, "To go to Dongqiao Mountain, you have to pass through Guangdong City. There are many evil people in this area. It's not safe for them to carry so many herbs. How about giving them a ride?"

Since they had spoken, Jiang Ning couldn't refuse.

Moreover, the medicine they brought back would benefit the survivors in the end. There might be medicine for haze disease in it. "Okay."

So Huo Yishen said to Ma Guangnian, "We have to go to Guangdong for something. Would you like to give you a ride?"

Yesterday, they almost became the souls of the evil people. They were worried about how to go back. They were overjoyed when they heard the invitation. "Thank you so much."

"You wait here, we will go to get the car."

With such a happy decision, Huo Yishen and others walked to get the car.

After walking for about ten minutes, Huo Yishen took the two to eat lunch on the roadside, and Jiang Ning drove over from the other side of the mountain. There were

too many people, and the Hummer could not fit them all, so they just forced them in.

Huo Yishen was driving, Jiang Ning was sitting in the passenger seat holding Doudou, Gouzi was lying under the seat in grievance, Ma Guangnian and others were sitting sideways in the back seat.

The posture was quite difficult, but safe.

If we walk back, the road will be full of dangers, and it is hard to say whether we can get to the research institute alive.

Shijinshan is not far from Guangdong City, only 40 kilometers. If we take the highway in the end times, it will take no more than half an hour.

But the highway was destroyed, so we can only take the national highway and provincial highway, and we have to keep switching routes...

The Hummer is tough enough, but there is no doubt that it will be targeted.

As they walked, a stone slammed on the glass window of the passenger seat...
