338: Want to leave
"Ma Sanmei planted a small Chinese cabbage with special medicine, and I found it sprouted, so I came to share the good news with you."
Sister Lu showed Jiang Fei the mini flowerpot in her hand and said happily:
"Although the Chinese cabbage took nearly a month to sprout, we now know that special medicine can improve soil damaged by acid rain, and we have hope."
"Once Ling Zhaorui's new varieties are successfully cultivated, we will no longer have to worry about food."
"By the way, Sister Jiang, these are the truck keys."
Sister Lu took four keys from her pocket with one hand and gave them to Jiang Fei:
"After you transport the gold, park the trucks here, and I'll have someone pick them up later."
"I have to go back quickly, otherwise, if the Chinese cabbage gets damaged by the wind, Ma Sanmei will strangle me."
Sister Lu hurried away, holding the mini flowerpot.
With no one around, Jiang Fei used the keys to open the rear compartments of the four large trucks and collected the gold nuggets and ore inside into the Supermarket.
System: [Ding - Detected gold: 56,582,100 grams]
[Current unlock progress: 55%]
Jiang Fei was a little worried.
In fact, she had intermittently received gold several times this month.
It was all sent by the scavenging teams from outside.
Lu Yu had those teams send a batch of gold every week.
But the quantity was too small.
Only a total of over ten million grams.
Due to three acid rains, many of the gold nuggets and gold ore outside had been corroded.
The scavenging teams couldn't find much gold.
Just now, Sister Lu said that most of the gold mines in Mos City had collapsed.
There's no more gold here, and no trace of her uncle and the others, so she should leave Mos City and go somewhere else.
She could also go back to China to see the situation there...
"Why are you standing outside daydreaming?"
Lu Yu's voice pulled Jiang Fei back to her thoughts.
Jiang Fei expressed her intention to leave Mos City.
"I don't plan to bring Han Yang and You Chengyu with me, otherwise, it would be inconvenient to enter and exit the Supermarket if we encounter danger on the road."
"If the seawater in China has receded and there's a suitable place to live, I'll come back to pick them up."
"If the situation in China is worse than here, then they will continue to stay in Mos City."
Lu Yu: "Okay."
"When Xiao Chuxia returns tonight, we'll tell them about this."
Besides cooking medicinal soups at the clinic, Xiao Chuxia now also provides free medical consultations and is busy until midnight every day before she can return.
Jiang Fei nodded in agreement and started loading barrels of fountain water into the truck compartments.
Three large trucks were filled, and the remaining truck was loaded with supplies obtained from Paradise Gang earlier, as well as several bags of vegetable seeds.
There were cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, potatoes, beets, celery, tomatoes, and so on.
These were ordinary seeds but suitable for planting in acidic soil.
With fountain water, they could grow successfully.
As for the Paradise Gang supplies, Wim had given them to her.
She had no use for them, so she might as well give them to Sister Lu.
After locking the compartments, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu went home to rest for a while.
Around 7 PM, Jiang Fei went out to the Black Night Gang's cafeteria to find Mo Yanan.
Mo Yanan was waiting in line for his meal.
Jiang Fei: "Help me drive to pick up some things, and I'll treat you to dinner."
They had to drive out for a spin, pretending to be picking up goods.
But there were four trucks, and Xiao Hua Lao and Ling Zhaorui were busy, so she, Lu Yu, and Su Liuyuan couldn't drive them all. They could only ask Xiao Jin Yang for help.
Xiao Jin Yang knew she had a space, so she didn't need to explain the source of the supplies to him, making him the most suitable candidate.
Mo Yanan put his tray back in its original place and followed Jiang Fei to the brick house.
The four got into the cars and drove out of the Black Night Gang.
The situation in the city was better than Jiang Fei had expected.
Houses damaged by acid rain had been repaired.
People who were lucky enough to survive were either trying to plant crops on the roadside land or exercising diligently, hoping to increase their metabolism and excrete aluminum from their bodies.
Sister Lu not only told them how to improve the soil but also led people to repair the city's water pipes.
Regardless of past grievances, Sister Lu only hoped that all humans could survive.
However, Mos City was short of medicinal materials, food, and protective supplies, and many survivors suffered from severe aluminum poisoning, becoming disoriented and sitting blankly on the ground with vacant eyes.
Jiang Fei glanced at them and then looked away.
It wasn't that she was cold-blooded, but she had seen too many ungrateful people.
Besides, she couldn't take care of them for a lifetime.
In the merciless apocalypse, it was already a blessing that she could take care of herself and her friends.
Driving to the desolate wilderness outside the city, the four of them got out of the cars.
Turning on their flashlights, Jiang Fei took out four detox meal sets and distributed them to Lu Yu and the others.
After eating and drinking their fill, and staying outside for another hour, the four drove back to the Black Night Gang.
Tonight, Wu Dayong and Wu Xiaowei were on guard.
Jiang Fei handed them the car keys.
"On the cars are the medicine and seeds my boss gave to Sister Lu."
"The extra supplies are also for her."
"Please help me deliver them to Sister Lu."
"Okay, Miss Jiang."
Wu Xiaowei took the keys and called two guards to help drive the cars.
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Su Liuyuan, meanwhile, took Mo Yanan back to his dormitory before walking home.
As soon as they entered the house, Ling Zhaorui ran out of his room, holding an insulated box.
He had been cultivating crops day and night recently, with no time to take care of himself. He had stubble on his chin, dark circles under his eyes from staying up late, and his clothes emitted an unpleasant odor.
He looked disheveled, but his eyes were bright and piercing.
"Sister Jiang! Brother Lu! Liu Yuan! I succeeded! I've cultivated a high-yield, special hybrid sweet potato!"
Ling Zhaorui excitedly showed them the sweet potato seedlings in the insulated box.
They were lush green, with full and glossy leaves, clearly high-quality seedlings.
"An ordinary sweet potato seedling can only produce tens of catties or even over a hundred catties of sweet potatoes under good cultivation conditions."
"The sweet potato seedlings I cultivated can produce over 150 catties of sweet potatoes in any harsh environment."
"In addition, the growth time has been shortened by more than half."
"I just don't know what the taste will be like, but it's guaranteed to fill your stomach."
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Su Liuyuan all gave Ling Zhaorui a thumbs-up.
Su Liuyuan: "You're awesome, brother!"
Jiang Fei: "I'll take these to Sister Lu now. You go back to your room and clean yourself up properly."
"You don't look very presentable like this."
Ling Zhaorui belatedly smelled the sour odor on himself and blushed:
"Then, Sister Jiang, tell Sister Lu not to plant them yet."
"I'll go tell them how to plant them tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay."
Jiang Fei took the insulated box and was about to leave.
Xiao Chuxia returned.
"Miss, quick, look who I brought!"
When she saw the man and woman behind her, Jiang Fei was so surprised that she almost dropped the insulated box in her arms.
