Chapter 53 Collection of Chinese Medicinal Materials
Two days later, Shen Qianxun came to the vicinity of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
The surrounding streets were filled with zombies, most of them wearing blue and white striped hospital gowns, and some wearing white coats. There were old and young, male and female.
Everything around seemed to be still stuck at the moment of the apocalypse, with no signs of cleanup at all.
But it is not difficult to understand that after the zombie outbreak, various large and small stations, airports, hospitals, and schools are definitely the areas where zombies are most concentrated.
The zombie outbreak has been going on for more than a month. If there is no centralized rescue, if you want to survive in the above environment, you must have enough food and a safe hiding place.
If Shen Qianxun traveled to this hospital, even if he awakened powerful superpowers, he would feel panic and powerless when trying to cross this mountain of zombies.
The air was filled with the smell of life. A group of zombies pushed each other, shaking their heads from side to side, sniffing around with their noses, and roaring with their mouths.
The silver-white light blades kept shuttling through the zombies, and the zombies fell one after another, soon forming small hills.
There were many zombies with special abilities and mutant animals among them, but they were all defeated by Shen Qianxun's cross-level pressure.
After dealing with the zombies in front of him, many more zombies came from all directions, including the hospital in the distance, a large black mass. Shen Qianxun "accepted all who came and took them all in."
After cleaning up for a whole morning, the number of zombies only increased, and Shen Qianxun stood on the mountain of corpses, gnawing on a scallion pancake, his hands moving non-stop.
The marshmallow at his feet was surrounded by a light green halo, and his eyes were slightly numb: There were too many, really too many, and when would it ever end?
The fighting did not stop until nearly six in the afternoon.
Shen Qianxun stood on the high zombie mountain and looked around. The streets, including the sides of the road, were covered with zombie corpses as far as the eye could see. If you stepped on them, you would sink half a leg into them.
"I have to work late into the night again."
Shen Qianxun put his hands on his waist and sighed to himself, "Picking up money is also a strenuous job."
With a big meat bun in his mouth and his hands busy prying the zombie's head, the marshmallow behind him said that this kind of work was not suitable for a little cutie like him, so he tugged at Shen Qianxun's trouser legs and asked to go back to the car to eat.
Shen Qianxun moved out a piece of open space, put out the RV, opened the can, got out of the car and continued to work.
Before dusk fell, headlights were fixed on both sides of the road. Under the orange light, Shen Qianxun was busy cleaning up. It was not until four in the morning that he finished cleaning up. As for those hanging on the tree branches, Shen Qianxun chose to turn a blind eye.
In the end, we harvested over 10,000 crystal cores, including 4 second-level zombie crystal cores and 2 second-level mutant animal crystal cores.
After returning to the RV, I took a shower in a daze and slept until noon.
"Hmm~"
Shen Qianxun stretched out lazily on the bed.
He got up, made himself some seafood fried rice noodles, fed Marshmallow, packed up the RV, and walked towards the hospital in the distance.
When digging for crystal cores last night, we cleared the streets along the way. On both sides of the road, as well as in the surrounding shops, there were zombie corpses piled up to 3 meters high. Under the scorching sun, the corpses dried up faster and the stench dissipated a lot.
The hospital is located at a relatively high altitude, and one needs to walk up a long staircase for 200 meters.
Shen Qianxun stood in front of the bulletin board, checking the locations of various departments in the hospital, among which the Chinese medicine pharmacies were distributed in several buildings.
"Let's go, Marshmallow!"
A man and a cat strode up the stairs. The sound of their footsteps was particularly clear in the empty environment. There were no insects chirping, no birds singing, and only a dead silence.
Soon, the figure disappeared at the end of the stairs.
At the same time, the distinctive hum of cars gradually began to rise from the distant streets.
The speeding car convoy suddenly slowed down and drove slowly all the way. Everyone in the cars looked at the piles of zombie corpses on both sides of the road and were all shocked.
In the car driving in front, a straight-laced man in a military uniform took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Team Three, have you cleared out the zombies at the Chinese Medicine Hospital?"
After the noise, a deep voice came from the intercom, "Return to Team One, we are in the university town and have not been to the Chinese medicine hospital."
After several calls, no team reported that they had cleared the zombies from the Chinese Medicine Hospital. The man in the co-pilot seat asked, "Captain, this should be the base's psychic team, right?"
The man was confused and his thoughts were racing. Such a neat killing method and the neatly arranged corpses were most likely not done by the base's team of psychics. However, the mission was urgent and time was limited. He had no time to think about it and had to rush to the next target point as soon as possible.
"Make a note and send someone to recover the body in five days. Also, call the nearby space ability team and have them come and collect the supplies."
On the other side, Shen Qianxun collected half of the medical equipment he saw into the space: professional thermometers, blood pressure monitors, X-ray machines, CT scanners, B-ultrasound machines, ventilators, and a full set of surgical instruments, in addition to more than 60 boxes of medical masks, iodine tincture, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and other disinfectants.
All kinds of western medicines were put into the space together with the shelves, and then sorted out slowly. It took about an hour to finish sorting out the three buildings.
Soon after, the air was filled with a faint scent of herbs, and Shen Qianxun walked towards one of the buildings following the scent.
Looking at the crooked display board at the entrance, floors 1 to 5 are all Chinese medicine stores, "What a great harvest."
Shen Qianxun rushed in happily with cotton candy.
Rows of medicine cabinets are neatly arranged, and the area of a single floor is 300 square meters. Three of the medicine cabinets are locked in a separate room.
Shen Qianxun broke into the room and found more than 100 drawers filled with various precious Chinese medicinal materials: ginseng, deer antler, ganoderma lucidum, polygonum multiflorum, snow lotus, rhodiola rosea, cordyceps sinensis, saffron...
Shen Qianxun laughed so hard that his eyebrows were not visible, “Marshmallow, we are rich again!”
With a wave of his hand, he collected all of them into the medicinal material space.
In addition, there are Qianghuo, Baizhi, Mahuang, Guizhi, and Xinyi that dispel wind and cold, Pueraria root, Bupleurum root, Cimicifuga, and Burdock fruit that disperse wind and heat, and Forsythia suspensa, Honeysuckle, Dandelion, and Sanbaicao that clear heat and detoxify. . . . .
With a wave of his hand, he tucked half of the medicine cabinets away. Of the 100,000 cubic meters, nearly half was still usable. He continued upwards, still tucking half away and leaving the other half.
At the corner of the 3rd floor, they encountered a zombie that had escaped the net. One of its legs was stuck in the gap of the stairs. When it saw Shen Qianxun, it was so excited that it danced with joy and dug at her feet with its hands.
The male zombie was wearing a white coat and looked to be in his early 20s. The nameplate on his chest read "intern pharmacist". Shen Qianxun immediately gave it a quick death.
After collecting the Chinese medicine, he looked at the dozen or so buildings across the street and said, "Since we're here, we must collect enough."
At this time, on a small road two kilometers away from the hospital, three cars were speeding on the narrow road, and the sky behind them was dark.
In the last car, the driver was a pretty girl named Wen Yuan, 22 years old. Before the apocalypse, she was the exclusive weapon of a top female star in the entertainment industry. On the third day after the apocalypse, she awakened her gold-type supernatural powers.
With his second-level gold ability and nimble skills, he became the captain of the space ability team of the Xiangtan base in H Province. He was mainly responsible for the safety of the space ability users in the base. Occasionally, he would join other ability teams to clean up zombies, and he was well-known in the base.
