After such a long time since the disaster, the easily accessible pharmacies in various places have been plundered, and the remaining pharmacies are basically in the nests of mutant animals and plants. Even veterans like Lao Liu who often go out to collect supplies have not collected medicines on a large scale for a long time.
"Antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antihypertensive drugs, vitamin tablets... There are quite a variety of medicines here." Yan Xinian took out boxes of medicines from the ruins and put them in his backpack.
Xiao Tang and the others stopped collecting supplies and came over to watch the excitement, lingering on the medicine boxes with envious eyes.
These are all hard currency, harder than food, and can be circulated anywhere.
If it weren't for Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian who were searching for medicines now, they might have rushed forward to grab them. Every box they could grab was a box. If they could grab more than ten boxes, they might not have to go out to collect medicines for the next two or three years.
Old Liu also came over and looked at the medicine box again and again. "This medicine is well preserved. The plastic seal on the outside is not broken."
"Many medicines were just covered by the medicine cabinet that was turned over." Yan Xinian said, "It's also good luck."
"Meow!" The kitten poked its head out and meowed at them in a childish voice, full of disapproval. It was obviously he who found it by his own strength!
His brother covered the cat's head with his big hand and gently blocked him back.
Old Liu and Xia Lunong were not very familiar with each other, and did not notice his expression. He just kept glancing at the medicine box.
Yan Xinian said, "There are always pharmacies in every place. There must be other pharmacies in this area. You might as well go and look for them."
"We've looked for it a long time ago, but the drugstores we found were either taken by someone else or badly damaged. We didn't find many boxes of genuine pills, and they were all kept in the team for the team members to use."
Old Liu forced himself to look away and sighed, "How lucky are you to find such a small drugstore - is it that Xiao Nong, as a newcomer, is particularly lucky? Or is his ability related to this?"
Xia Huoqu frowned slightly, "What can we see from his current condition?"
Old Liu said, "That's true. Finish collecting things as soon as possible and go back to let Dr. Ou take a look."
Yan Xinian stuffed the collected medicines into his backpack and interrupted, "We have collected more things this time, so we have to borrow some space in your car."
Old Liu readily agreed, "It's okay, the medicines are not heavy and don't take up much space, just put them."
Old Liu really envied them for being able to find so many medicines. He said that they were lucky not to find the medicines, but in fact he couldn't help but lead the team to search along the ruins.
Xia Lunong sniffed the cat's nose and felt that they couldn't find it.
There was no other bitter smell nearby.
Analyzing the smell in the air was too tiring.
Xia Lunong quickly spread out his four paws and slept on his brother's palm, not knowing when he was moved into his backpack by his brother.
Maybe the backpack was full of his brother's smell, and he felt safe, so he slept particularly deeply.
When Xia Lunong woke up, it was already night. His brother cooked milk and bird meat porridge for him, adding a little bit of salt, and cooked it until it was rotten. It tasted very good.
He was eating happily, but Yan Xinian rubbed him from the top of his head to the tip of his tail.
The cat who was eating hard immediately raised his head, staring at him with big green eyes and showing his small fangs, baring his teeth at Yan Xinian threateningly.
After showing his teeth, he was stunned and felt that he had acquired some cat habits.
Thinking about it carefully, this body has a serious impact on his consciousness.
Xia Lunong suddenly felt that the porridge in his mouth was not fragrant anymore.
His brother stretched out his hand and blocked Yan Xinian's hand horizontally, "Don't bother him, let him eat first."
Yan Xinian smiled, "Okay."
"Meow!" Xia Lunong was so angry that he threw a cat punch at Yan Xinian, and he was not allowed to make trouble even after dinner!
Yan Xinian gently stroked the fur on his back again, "Eat quickly, the meat will be fishy when it gets cold, it's a waste."
Xia Lunong used his tail to pull away his annoying hand and continued to eat.
After eating and drinking enough and feeling sleepy, he nestled in his brother's thighs, his belly bulging, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Xia Huoqu took out a pen and paper and wrote his diary again.
They were very lucky that night. They did not encounter a snake tide or other beast tides. The night passed peacefully.
Xia Lunong knew nothing. The kitten slept so hard that he almost had snot bubbles. He didn't wake up until the truck started the return journey.
"Meow." The kitten stood on his brother's legs with his hind legs, hooked his brother's T-shirt with his soft front paws, and looked out with his watery eyes. He soon found that the scenery outside was becoming more and more familiar. He was not heading to the interior of Zhangshu County, but to the base.
"Meow meow meow?"
So we're going back?
Xia Huoqu sat cross-legged in the truck, protecting the kitten's back with one hand to prevent him from falling on his back. He explained, "We have collected enough supplies. We're going back first this time."
The kitten turned his round little head to observe.
The car was indeed filled with things, sugar, salt, honey, fungus, cloth, knives... The whole car was like a grocery store's purchasing site.
The closest to them were four large cardboard boxes filled with various medicines.
Xia Lunong sniffed, and he smelled the slightly bitter smell of medicine again, as well as the slight rust of ironware and the faint fragrance of seasonings.
The smell in the car was too mixed, and he couldn't help but yawning, making his whole body tremble, and then he burrowed into his brother's arms.
Xia Huoqu wrapped his hands around him and whispered, "Are you cold?"
Xia Lunong shook his head. He just didn't like these messy smells. The warm and light fragrance on his brother's body was much better.
As he smelled, he wanted to sleep again.
After this sleep, Xia Lunong woke up back at the base. He opened his eyes dazedly and saw a tall and thin woman standing in front of him, with a familiar smell.
He shook his head subconsciously, looked carefully, and found that it was Doctor Ou.
"Meow." The little cat that Xia Lunong turned into raised its head in surprise to greet him, and its green eyes were full of the reflection of Doctor Ou.
Doctor Ou smiled, and while touching his body, he injected a ball of supernatural power into him. He turned to Xia Huoqu and said, "Xiao Nong doesn't have any big problems, but his body is relatively weak. Once he transformed into a beast, he became a juvenile. If you nourish yourself more, he will grow up slowly."
Xia Huoqu asked, "There are no sequelae, right?"
"Probably not. According to my examination results, Xiao Nong is generally healthy, but a little thin. Feed him more mutant meat, and he may grow up soon."
"Are there any signs of superpowers flowing in Xiao Nong's body?"
Doctor Ou shook his head. "It's too small. We haven't found it yet. We have to wait for some time to see it."
Doctor Ou said, and touched Xia Lunong's smooth fur again, and stuffed him with a ball of healing superpowers.
Xia Lunong was able to squat on the table obediently, but after being stuffed with these two balls of healing superpowers, the whole cat became sleepy again, and his head dozed off little by little.
Xia Huoqu picked up the fur ball on the table and held it in his palm to let him sleep.
The kitten rubbed his brother's palm, smelled the familiar breath, and soon fell asleep on his belly.
When he got home, Xia Huoqu was worried about him sleeping alone, so he put him on his bed and propped him up with a pillow, letting him sleep on the pillow.
Xia Lunong didn't know how long she slept, and was finally awakened by a burst of noise.
"Brother Xia, is Xiao Nong in your room?"
"Yeah."
"He really turned into a cat, did Doctor Ou say that?"
"Just take care of him more." Xia Huoqu said, "Do you want to go see him?"
"See!"
As soon as Liao Cheng finished speaking, Xia Lunong felt a gust of wind blowing into his brother's room.
Then there was a faint smell of smoke, and behind the smoke was the original smell of the visitor.
"It's actually a forest cat!" Liao Cheng's voice was filled with excitement, "I thought it would be a wolf."
Xia Lunong suddenly opened his two round eyes and used all four paws to hide deep in the bed.
However, before he could do anything, the wind had already blown in front of him, gently picked him up and held him in his palm.
Xia Lunong looked at a wheat-colored face with regular features. The person who came was Liao Cheng.
"So cute!" Liao Cheng smiled with his teeth showing, and stroked the kitten with his big hands without any courtesy, from the head to the tip of the tail, "There was no cat this cute before the disaster."
He looked like he wanted to hold the kitten and suck it hard, but fortunately he restrained himself.
Even so, it was still weird enough.
"Meow meow meow!" The kitten protested loudly in its baby voice, kicked out with its four paws, glared at Liao Cheng's hand and jumped onto the bed.
"Hey, don't be so stingy, touch me again, hahahaha."
"Meow meow meow!" Xia Lunong walked into the bed.
Liao Cheng changed direction and wanted to block him.
Yan Xinian just happened to come in from outside.
When Xia Lunong saw him, her cat eyes widened even more, and she "meowed" at him for help.
Liao Cheng rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "I was just joking with Xiao Nong."
This is true. If Liao Cheng wanted to catch him, he was still so young and couldn't get away at all.
But this didn't stop Xia Lunong from complaining!
He looked at Yan Xinian, not knowing what he was thinking, kicked out with his four paws, and jumped towards Yan Xinian with all his strength.
This jump was more than three meters away and more than two meters high. For a kitten that was not much bigger than a fist, this distance was too high and too far.
After he jumped up, he was startled, and his furry face was full of fear.
"Meow--!!!"
Yan Xinian took a step forward, stretched out his long arms and quickly grabbed the kitten in his hands.
The kitten held his arm with its two front paws and looked at the ground in fear. The little dirt under its thin belly almost jumped out.
Xia Huoqu walked in quickly, looking anxious, "What's wrong?"
Liao Cheng lowered his head and apologized honestly, "I was impatient and made Xiao Nong anxious."
The kitten "meowed" at his brother. It was not Liao Cheng's problem.
He scared himself.
Xia Huoqu gently rubbed the cat's head to comfort him.
Yan Xinian said to Xia Huoqu: "Xiao Nong just jumped directly from the bed into my arms, from there to here."
"So far?" Xia Huoqu was stunned, "Could we jump that far at the beginning?"
"No." Yan Xinian stated, "Xiao Nong's jumping ability is much better than all of us."
