Chapter 38 Collecting Supplies
When Yu Yao woke up, she was already in the hospital room where she had been sleeping.
Luo Mei was lying next to her, staring at her intently.
This startled Yu Yao.
Luo Mei, however, was oblivious to this fact and was so excited she almost jumped up.
"Ah Yao! You're finally awake!"
Yu Yao looked at Luo Mei, who was overreacting, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
With Luo Mei's help, he slowly sat up and said helplessly, "What are you doing? I'm fine."
Luo Mei stared with her beautiful eyes, her face filled with lingering fear.
"You're alright? You scared me to death!"
"make you worry."
Yu Yao readily admitted her mistake.
Luo Mei wasn't really angry; she was too worried to even think about it.
She sighed and said, "It's good that you're awake! Are you hungry? My brother made some porridge. Wait a moment, I'll go get it for you!"
After saying that, he rushed outside.
They completely failed to see Yu Yao's helpless Er Kang hand and her mouth repeatedly saying "no need".
A short while later, Luo Meizhen brought in a bowl of hot lean meat porridge.
Yu Yao thought about it and didn't refuse again.
While eating, Luo Mei began to ramble on about what had happened that day.
It turned out that this happened about ten minutes after Yu Yao led the zombie horde away from the hospital.
Chi Heng then led Luo Mei and the others to deal with the mutated plants in the hospital's underground area.
In order to prevent Chi Heng and the others from discovering that she would take away the crystal core, Yu Yao deliberately removed the ability to extract spirits from Luo Mei first.
To prevent her from taking away someone else's crystal core while she's not around.
Therefore, she did not know when Chi Heng and the others had dealt with the mutated vines.
According to Luo Mei, it was an unknown mutated vine, its main body buried dozens of meters underground, and it took them a lot of effort to find it.
Shortly after dealing with the mutated vines, Sang Yi and the others, who had been drugged, woke up.
When they all returned to the 17th floor, they learned that Yu Yao had gone to lure the zombies herself, so they quickly set off to find her.
As for the thing that bit Qi Xian, it was actually a zombie baby, and the gold-type zombie was likely its family member.
Luo Mei was too preoccupied with worrying about Yu Yao to figure out the specifics herself.
Also, the absolute defense shield that comes with the Linglang Amulet probably can't be hidden anymore.
Although Luo Mei didn't say anything, everyone was smart enough to see through it.
Yu Yao didn't say anything about it. If they guessed it, they guessed it. Things are meant to be used; there's no point in hiding it.
Furthermore, it's unclear whether it was because of her "heroic" act of leading the zombies away, or because she saved Qi Xian.
When she woke up, she found that the favorability ratings of all her teammates had exceeded 85.
in fact.
If she had paid attention earlier, she would have noticed that those numbers had already been steadily rising before the rescue last night.
If it were solely driven by profit, it would be difficult to reach this figure.
This is already an extremely high number for someone you've only known for a day.
For the time being, she doesn't need to worry about them having any ill intentions or bad plans.
......
Luo Mei also said that Sang Yi and Company Commander Fang almost collapsed after learning that Shi Ying was actually a zombie.
Fortunately, among the survivors were several of Shi Ying's fellow students, all of whom were experts in life sciences.
They can do scientific research, and they can also be used as doctors in critical moments, so their trip wasn't in vain.
However, the fact that it was a humanoid zombie did scare many people.
Especially for the survivors who had spent so many days with Shi Ying, all they felt was lingering fear.
......
Luo Mei kept talking, and Yu Yao listened quietly.
After finishing a bowl of lean meat porridge, Chi Heng and Dongfang Jin knocked on the door and came in to see Yu Yao.
Jiang Yi looked at Yu Yao, whose complexion had improved considerably, and smiled, "You look much better now, are you alright?"
"Well, it's okay."
"That's fine then, you scared us to death." He scratched his head a little embarrassedly as he said this.
After hesitating for a long time, I still couldn't bring myself to ask the question I wanted to ask.
Yu Yao looked at him and asked, "Are you curious about why that pill can cure the zombie virus?"
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He enjoyed studying medicine, but compared to other things, that pill had always been a source of intense curiosity for him.
"Is it convenient for you to talk?"
Yu Yao said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. This isn't mine; it's an antidote pill I stole from Shi Ying before."
As she spoke, she took out another antidote pill from a glass bottle.
Luo Mei exclaimed "Huh?" and picked up the glass bottle to examine it carefully. "She has this kind of thing? Does she really have some ability?"
Yu Yao pouted, "I didn't plan to use it to save anyone."
Luo Mei wholeheartedly agreed, "That's true, definitely a piece of trash... a piece of trash corpse!"
As she spoke, she handed the antidote pills to Jiang Yi and Dongfang Jin.
While the others were looking at the antidote pill, Dongfang Jin stared at Yu Yao for a long time before saying, "I... want to apologize to you. Inviting you to join the team at the beginning was too hasty, and it may have been seen as underestimating or disrespecting you. I'm sorry. But I want to say that I didn't have those thoughts."
I'm just... jealous of you...
Of course, he would never say that, even if you killed him.
"It's ok."
It doesn't matter; she wasn't much better herself.
Qi Xian also said, "Honestly, this time we really owe a lot to you, otherwise I definitely would have..."
Yu Yao was most afraid of people saying these things, so she quickly interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"Don't think that just because you're being polite you can get rid of me and stop teaching me how to use a gun."
Qi Xian smiled slightly.
"Don't worry about that, I'm determined to be your teacher!"
Jiang Yi's lips twitched slightly as he returned the antidote pill to Yu Yao, while simultaneously raising his hand to interrupt.
"Actually, I'm a pretty good shot too, Xiaoqi, you could consider me."
Qi Xian kicked Jiang Yi in the butt and laughed, "Get lost, what's it to you!"
Jiang Yi patted his bottom and sat down next to Yu Yao, grumbling as he did so, saying, "Hmph, I was just afraid you were too fierce?"
Dongfang Jin, who was standing to the side, regained some of her smile, and her eyes lit up.
"The third brother is right. Only a strict teacher can produce outstanding students. I think he is the most suitable teacher."
Yu Yao blinked, her gaze lingering on Dongfang Jin's meaningful smile for a long time.
She turned back to look at Jiang Yi, whose eyes showed sympathy.
My gut feeling is that something... isn't quite right.
Before she could say anything, Qi Xian had already made the decision.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll start teaching you once we've settled in."
Meeting Luo Mei and Jiang Yi's pitying gazes, Yu Yao was speechless for a moment, only feeling a chill run down her spine.
......
After chatting for a while, the group confirmed that Yu Yao's health was indeed fine.
After discussing it, they decided to go out and collect some supplies while the nearby zombies had been cleared out but not yet replenished.
Then follow Sang Yi's army back to the safe zone to rest.
After resting, they set off north for Kyoto.
Because Chi Heng and his group had a secret base in the mountains not far from Kyoto.
The place isn't big, but it's safe and secluded enough that it could easily serve as their base in the future.
In addition, its proximity to Kyoto ensures safety.
When Luo Mei got separated from her teammates earlier, she did consider going back to the base to wait for them.
But after some thought, he decided to wait in Lincheng for a month.
If they still hadn't found them after a month, she would take Yu Yao to the base.
......
After informing Sang Yi, the group left the hospital together.
They first went to the nearby commercial street.
This time, with their superior numbers, they conducted a more thorough search.
Although Luo Mei is a girl, she is often used like a man.
Together with several grown men, their ability to take action is exceptional.
Yu Yao only needed to follow behind them and collect the supplies without worry.
Most of the food and supplies they saw that were not expired or were clean were taken away.
Less important supplies were all taken away, leaving nothing behind, since they would only be used by the zombies anyway.
Not long after leaving the commercial street, they passed by a large fresh food market.
But after only one glance, I decided to skip it.
After all, the power outage lasted for so long and the weather was so hot that the market only had a small amount of condiments and dried goods.
There's a high probability that there won't be any more useful supplies.
It's not cost-effective to go there.
So the group skipped over the shopping mall and went to a large shopping mall a few kilometers away.
There, as always, half of the supplies were those that were readily available to ordinary people and easy to store.
They took all the supplies that ordinary people wouldn't take or that were difficult to preserve.
Luo Pingjing is an ordinary spatial ability user. His space is only about 20 square meters, so he can't put much stuff in it.
Therefore, all the supplies collected this time were placed with Yu Yao.
Yu Yao didn't hide the fact that she had a lot of space, and Chi Heng and the others didn't ask any further questions.
With this arrangement, the seven-story, large-scale shopping mall quickly became much more spacious.
By the time we had almost finished collecting the supplies from the supermarket, it was already dark.
Dongfang Jin looked out the window at the sky and said to Chi Heng, "It's getting dark. Shall we call it a day?"
Chi Heng nodded, and was just about to say something when he heard the roar of a car engine outside the supermarket.
The group exchanged glances but made no move.
Two minutes later, the supermarket door was violently kicked open, and the group encountered another group of people who had also come to search for supplies...
