Chapter 49: The Medicine is Available (15)
"Medication to treat skin problems caused by toxic fog has been developed and distributed to various residential communities. It's expected to be updated on the rescue app next Monday. Like other supplies, it's available for a limited time only, with one bottle per resident ID number. The first batch is limited, so please purchase if you need it. If you're stocking up, please hold back."
Putting aside other things for now, those who couldn't sleep because of the poisonous fog were almost crying. "Oh my God, is there finally medicine?"
"Yeah, the people above haven't given up on us. I thought I was going to die like this."
"Luckily I didn't give up, and fortunately the poison mist on me wasn't too severe. If it had been at the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long."
"Yeah, you healthy people must not compete with us."
"Don't fight, don't fight. We don't need to fight for it for now. Why would we do that? Isn't this a waste of contribution points? But this medicine is bought with contribution points, right? How much is a bottle?"
The staff member said, "The price hasn't come down yet, but it will definitely be affordable for everyone, so take this opportunity to exchange for more contribution points so you can purchase it directly when the time comes."
This is true, but then again, "Everything in my home, big or small, is useful. What will I use it for after I redeem it?"
"Every family has some waste, but it's not that much. If you ask people to exchange it all, what will they use it for?"
Although many people were reluctant, many were still very clear-headed. "Isn't it enough to just take care of the present at this time? What do you want to do in the future? After the poisonous fog dissipates, we can just buy it again."
"Yeah, we can't leave the house, so we can trade for things at home. As long as we can eat, there's no need to worry about it. We can always buy it back later."
"If that's the case, then there are plenty of things we can exchange at home, but is there anything in the community that we can compare prices on?"
The staff sent a list of supplies to the group and replied: "The price of supplies is calculated based on quality and condition, but the price is within this range. You can make a rough calculation. The final quantity will be based on our on-site inspection."
Everyone clicked on the price list and then calculated carefully at home. Anyway, regardless of anything else, they had to take care of themselves for this month. After all, in the current situation, the poisonous fog would not dissipate, and the higher-ups would not send any supplies. Who knows, the community might really do something to make them starve for a month.
Then the group fell silent.
As for exchanging supplies again, neither Huang Jinghe nor Lan Jin really need to exchange them for the time being, so what happens tomorrow and the day after tomorrow has nothing to do with them, and even has nothing to do with them for a long time to come.
However, the staff were extremely exhausted during these two days. Even though there were a total of 100 people including volunteers, it was still not enough to exchange supplies for everyone in the community within two days.
After all, the residential area is large now, and each building has high floors. They try their best to let residents replace large items. It’s very tiring to move and lift things, and it’s really impossible to replace them all.
Seeing that many people had not yet changed their homes, the staff added three more days. After a total of five days, each household had to change a lot of large items, but at least some contribution points were added to the residents' residence permits, which gave everyone some time off.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the staff immediately sent another notice in the group, telling the residents about the last incident of the ·S· person and this incident of prying the door open. Although they already knew about it, they always had to bring it up from time to time to remind them. If they could fool as many people as possible, they would fool them, and if they could have peace for one day, they would have peace for one day, so they had no intention of hiding these two things.
However, putting aside the S people, the crime of theft was so serious that it really dispelled the evil thoughts in many people's minds for a while, and their community and the 12 buildings where Lan Jin was located were really quiet for a while.
Well, it’s not long.
But no matter what, Lan Jin has been living a relatively good life during this period.
But what about Ren Xing and Meng Ying... To be honest, they are actually doing pretty well.
In order to get supplies from Lan Jin's house, the two of them pried open the door of Lan Jin's house without any precautions. After that, the poisonous fog got on their skin, causing it to become red, swollen, and itchy. The two of them blamed and cursed each other at home every day.
However, even in this situation, they couldn't go without eating, so the two of them decided to exchange all the furniture except the bed for contribution points. So during this period, except for the skins, the two of them had no problems living.
Both of them were the type who loved instant gratification, so after getting contribution points, they didn't treat themselves badly and had three meals a day. Although the lunch boxes were not particularly expensive, who could blame them for having so few furniture? Besides, they were renting a house to begin with, so it was impossible for them to buy good furniture. As a result, they didn't get many contribution points in return. In addition, with the need to redeem contribution points again and the skin medicine to treat the poisonous fog coming out, the two of them suddenly felt conflicted.
Food... definitely cannot be lacking, medicine... also cannot be lacking, but apart from a few meager contribution points, they really have nothing. Even if the specific price of the medicine is revealed, these two people know that they really cannot afford it with that little contribution points.
It would be fine if there was no medicine, but the medicine was right in front of them but they couldn't use it. This was more painful for them than having their hearts and lungs taken out. Then, the two people who were not of good character to begin with naturally couldn't continue to sit and wait for death.
Meng Ying said, "Brother Xing, we can't be the only family in this building that doesn't have anything to exchange for contribution points. How did the others get the supplies?"
Ren Xing had lived here for several years, so he knew quite a few of his friends. The internet at home wasn't disconnected, so naturally they kept in touch privately. Ren Xing asked, "Pry open the door, are you going to do that?"
"Why not? We don't have much left at home. Let alone curing this skin problem, even eating has become a problem. Brother Xing, I don't want to die."
Ren Xing didn't want to die. He was a little hesitant to begin with, but after hearing Meng Ying's words, he immediately made up his mind. However, he felt very uncomfortable that he had come to this point. "Damn it! If Lan Jin was here, we wouldn't have come to this point."
Ren Xing felt that if Lan Jin was at home, there would at least be some food and drink at home. At worst, he could let Lan Jin go out and find a solution. In any case, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
What a coincidence! Meng Ying thought the same thing. She even had her eye on Ren Siqiao, but Lan Jin wasn't even there. So when she heard Ren Xing blaming Lan Jin, Meng Ying immediately agreed, "That's right. It's all Lan Jin's fault. If she were at home, we wouldn't have come to this."
Thank you for the tip from the seller, thank you!
