Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Day 120
Xiao Zhen had a notebook, which was a gift from Zhang Xiaohong before.
She would write down a sentence in it every day, and todayâs sentence was: Today marks the 120th day since Sister Xiaohong left...
Indeed, Zhang Xiaohong and her group had not been to this place for a full 120 days.
Many people in the industrial park felt they would never return. The blizzard had dealt a devastating blow to the survivors in other areas of this region, and it was likely tough on Zhang Xiaohong and her group as well.
"Could the Crystal Cores become useless objects once again?"
Wang Qiang sighed.
The atmosphere in the industrial park had been growing more gloomy lately, and some teams simply stopped going out to kill zombies.
It seemed they had already concluded that those who traded in supplies would not come again. Rather than exerting themselves outside, it was better to save food here, perhaps to last a little longer.
Although Cai Jianbin, as a leader, often boosted everyoneâs morale, believing that Zhang Xiaohong and her group would come back, the number of people who believed him was dwindling.
In the Apocalypse, there were no means of communication; they could only hold on to the belief in supplies and hope.
The family arrived near the industrial park at night.
But since it was already evening, and everyone planned to rest anyway, they simply found an uninhabited place and entered the Space, intending to head over first thing the next morning.
"Itâs a good thing we havenât taken the Face-changing Pills yet. Hehe,"
Nie Qing said, saving a dayâs worth of Face-changing Pills.
"The Face-changing Pills... How many are left?"
Lin Tianhui couldnât help asking. Those pills seemed quite important. What would they do if they ran out?
"323 pills,"
Su Jin answered. In the past few days, with nothing to do in the Space, she not only counted the supply of Crystal Cores but also recounted the amount of Face-changing Pills.
"What will we do if we run out of them in the future?"
Su Xiangzhe asked.
"If we run out, weâll make more,"
Nie Qing nonchalantly tossed out a book. All the formulas for the Pills were recorded and stored in the Pill Room in the Space.
"Uncle Nie can make Pills?"
Su Jin hadnât actually considered this possibility. If they really could make them, then she wouldnât need to worry.
"I canât,"
Nie Qingâs smooth response left everyone speechless. He had just given the impression that he knew how to make Pills.
"However, among us, there is someone who could do it,"
Nie Qing continued teasingly.
"Youâre joking, right? None of us have studied medicine, who knows how to make those high-level things?"
Lu Guanhai gave Nie Qing a skeptical look, clearly not believing what he said.
"Someone naturally can make them, and that person is... your son. Hahaha,"
Nie Qing deliberately elongated one of the words and finally pointed his finger at Lu Hao.
Lu Hao: "????"
Since when did he acquire the skill to make Pills?
"Uncle Nie, youâre joking, right? My brother-in-lawâs expertise has nothing to do with Pill making,"
Lin Xiuyuan also couldnât believe it. Although his brother-in-law was very smart, he had never studied Pills.
However, Nie Qing took it seriously, explaining to everyone:
"Whatâs the most important thing in Pill making? Pharmacological knowledge? Materials? Neither, itâs the control of the fire, and I believe my apprentice can control this fire well. As for knowledge, itâs all in this book, and we can grow our own materials, so why not let Xiao Hao give it a try?"
"I think itâs feasible. Tianzhen is also familiar with many herbs now, and she can work with Xiao Hao,"
Mao Zhihang was the first to raise his hand in support.
Li Xiuying watched her family with a smile, "Thatâs right, no matter what difficulties we face, as long as we discuss it together, we can solve them with barely any effort."
"Alright, everyoneâs had a long day, letâs get ready for dinner," she said.
Su Jin was already hungry. She got hungry especially fast these days, and while her appetite hadnât increased, she needed to eat more frequently.
The treasure of the family, Su Jin, said so, and no one dared to delay mealtime any longer.
In the eyes of the family, the pregnant woman was the most important.
Local Tyrant Gold sat on Little Wuâs back, waddling over. Little Wu and Little Liu always waited on the side at mealtimes because Lin Yunguo would also prepare a meal for them. As for Labi, Su Jin had already filled its pen with chickens, ducks, and sheep, to ensure it always had fresh food to eat whenever it was hungry.
Before leaving the Space, Lin Yunguo had specifically told Su Jin to pack his pancakes in the storage bag too, as he was planning to join them outside. The survivors here used to enjoy his pancakes a lot.
"I know, Grandpa, I packed them all while in the Space. And anyway, I can always go back in to get them for you," Su Jin replied with a smile. She wasnât planning on going out as she couldnât take the Face-changing pill, but she believed her family would be perfectly fine without her, since the survivors in City A had already traded with them before.
Lu Hao felt reassured about this as well. He had deliberately brought Cai Jianbin into the picture before, hoping he could act as a bridge between the local survivors and them in the future.
And indeed, Cai Jianbin didnât disappoint him. When they arrived at the industrial park, they found Cai Jianbin holding a meeting in the courtyard.
"So we must all believe that Zhang Xiaohong and Chen Daming will definitely come back! We must still hunt for Crystal Cores, and we must still improve our Special Abilities!" Cai Jianbinâs words reached the ears of the few people who had just got off their car, causing Lin Xiuyuan to laugh so hard he couldnât stand up straight.
Zhang Xiaohong and Chen Daming, hahaha!
"Is this the industrial park you guys were talking about before?" Lin Tianhui asked curiously, looking around. It didnât look much like a factory; the walls were heavily fortified.
"Yes, itâs the place your daughter Xiaohong found," Su Xiangzhe said with a laugh.
"I canât with you guys, canât you pick some normal-sounding names," Lin Tianhui complained as Lu Hao knocked on the gate.
After the knock, the sounds inside quieted down instantly. They rarely had survivors visit this early in the morning. Who could it be knocking on the door?
Could it be Zombies?
"Whoâs out there?" Auntie Zhang ventured a question.
"Me, Chen Daming," Lu Hao sighed. That name really wasnât very good.
Lin Xiuyuan burst into laughter behind him. Even his name, Long Aotian, was better!
Auntie Zhang was stunned.
Chen Daming? Had Chen Daming and the others actually arrived?!
Cai Jianbinâs face lit up with joy, and Xiao Zhen couldnât wait to open the gate.
"Sister Xiaohong!" Xiao Zhen looked outside but didnât see Zhang Xiaohong.
"Xiao Zhen, itâs us. Your Sister Xiaohong is a bit tied up with some matters recently, so she couldnât come, but she did bring gifts for you," Huang Yunxiang knelt down and said with a smile.
It was impressive that such a young child still remembered Su Jin.
"Da Ming! Youâre finally here!" Cai Jianbin couldnât contain his excitement, his tears of joy nearly spilling. If they had delayed any longer, his authority would have been undermined.
"Come on in, come on in! Really, making people stand outside," Auntie Zhang also called out excitedly. Almost everyone from the industrial park rushed out, and Chen Daming and the group were completely blocked outside.
