369: Her child is still alive

"Everyone, line up, don't push. After you drink the medicine, today's dinner will be distributed soon."

The man standing on the stone finished speaking loudly, picked up a scoop from the large barrel beside him, and served the survivors their herbal medicine.

His face was dark and thin, and his shoulders were unusually hunched, making him appear somewhat stooped.

It was Gray Rat, whom they hadn't seen in almost a year.

Xu Qianyao had never seen Gray Rat, but Jiang Fei recognized him.

"Qian Yao, you go back to the car first. I'm going to see a friend."

Jiang Fei walked towards the line.

At the same time, Lu Yu in the car also saw Gray Rat on the stone, and he and Su Liuyuan got out and walked over.

"This is your medicine. Hold your bowl carefully, don't drop it. You'll need it again tomorrow for more medicine."

Gray Rat had just finished serving a survivor herbal medicine when he looked up and saw a familiar face beneath a transparent mask.

"You, you, you, are you Miss Jiang?!"

Gray Rat was so shocked he stammered.

Discovering Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan behind Jiang Fei, Gray Rat nearly dropped the scoop in his hand.

He took a deep breath before he somewhat calmed down.

"You all wait for me a moment. I'll serve them medicine first."

"We'll help you."

Jiang Fei picked up two extra scoops from the barrel, gave one to Lu Yu, and began to help serve the medicine.

Gray Rat had pushed over a flatbed cart.

Four large iron barrels were on the flatbed.

Two barrels contained brown herbal medicine, one contained empty ceramic bowls, and one contained bowls used by the survivors.

Gray Rat would transport the used bowls back, clean them all, and reuse them next time.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Fei and the other two finished distributing all the herbal medicine.

Gray Rat stared intently at Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan, just like he used to back in Dark Night, flattering them:

"It's strange, you two haven't changed at all; in fact, you've become even more handsome."

"Only you know how to talk." Su Liuyuan looked at his shoulders:

"Your body..."

"Affected by nuclear pollution, I developed joint deformities," Gray Rat said in a relaxed tone:

"I'll take you to see Brother Gu."

"When you see him now, I guarantee you'll laugh."

Gray Rat gripped the handle of the cart, about to push the flatbed cart away, when Lu Yu raised a hand to stop him.

"I'll do it."

"Then I won't be polite. My shoulders are aching and sore right now anyway."

Gray Rat led the way, occasionally turning his head to chat with Jiang Fei and the other two, bringing up last year's tsunami.

Changhai's Underground City had no preparations and was directly submerged by the seawater.

At the critical moment, all the mercenaries of Dark Night risked their lives to go to the third basement level, open the warehouse, and retrieve survival supplies, saving the lives of some people.

These included Xiaos Father, researchers, professors, Underground City residents, and others.

They drifted with the seawater and also rescued Mother Xiao and several researchers from the Kyoto Research Institute.

Until the seawater receded, they arrived in Xi Province and met these survivors.

Gu Yunshan organized everyone to establish a temporary base.

What happened later was similar to what the one-eyed man had said.

From Xi Province's central city to Songquan Town, they walked while searching for supplies and usable instruments and equipment.

It didn't matter if they were damaged by seawater; Gray Rat could fix them.

The found instruments and equipment were handed over to Gu Yunshan and the researchers for use.

Gu Yunshan not only wanted to research medicine that could save victims of nuclear radiation but also wanted to develop something that could completely remove radioactive nuclides and improve the situation in Xi Province.

Although it was not very realistic, they wanted to try.

The herbal medicine the survivors drank was developed under Mother Xiao's leadership and could alleviate physical damage caused by nuclear radiation.

Unknowingly, Jiang Fei and the other three arrived outside a brick house.

"Don't take off your protective suits."

"The nuclear radiation pollution in Songquan Town is the lightest in Xi Province, but it's very dangerous for those who have never been exposed. We're used to not wearing protection, but it's safer for you to wear yours."

Gray Rat said as he opened the door and walked in.

Various instruments and equipment were placed inside the room.

Six or seven researchers were engrossed in their experiments.

Gu Yunshan sat at a table in the corner, with a striking emerald green buzz cut that was hard to ignore.

"Brother Gu, Aunt Xiao, look who I brought back!"

"Who could you bring..." Gu Yunshan suddenly fell silent, looking at the three people at the door in surprise.

"Xiao Yu... Liu Yuan... Miss Jiang?"

Mother Xiao opposite him also looked disbelieving.

"Fei Fei?"

Slap--!

Suddenly, Gu Yunshan raised his hand and slapped himself.

Confirming it wasn't a dream, Gu Yunshan excitedly got up and ran over to hug Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan.

"Good brothers!"

Brother Lu and Su Liuyuan were equally overjoyed.

Mother Xiao rushed over, tightly grasping Jiang Fei's hand, her lips trembling as if too emotional to speak.

Knowing what Mother Xiao wanted to ask, Jiang Fei quickly said, "Chu Xia is fine. She's in Yang City now."

Mother Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously smiling.

Her child was still alive... And Su Liuyuan couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Brother Gu, your hair..."

"I had severe hair loss a while ago, and a researcher helped me formulate a medicine, but it ended up dyeing it, and it won't wash out."

Gu Yunshan embarrassedly touched his green head:

"Why are you here?"

Lu Yu told Gu Yunshan about the mission:

"The Huaxia Base is very well-built, with a Hospital and Research Institute. Survivors with infectious diseases can even receive free treatment. Brother Gu, do you all want to relocate?"

Jiang Fei followed Lu Yu's words: "You don't need to worry about cars and supplies."

"I can get some from the logistics warehouse in Ye City, and I will report this matter to Director Ning later."

Actually, Jiang Fei was thinking of getting cars and supplies from her Supermarket warehouse.

However, the existence of the Supermarket couldn't be revealed, so she could only use the logistics warehouse as a shield.

She believed Director Ning wouldn't shortchange her!

Gu Yunshan hesitated: "The nuclear pollution in Ye City is quite severe; it's not safe for you to go..."

Jiang Fei: "We have nuclear radiation protective gear developed by the Underground City, and also modified RVs, so we can safely go to nuclear-contaminated areas."

Only then did Gu Yunshan notice that the protective gear worn by Jiang Fei and the other two was from the Underground City, and he immediately felt relieved.

The Underground City's anti-nuclear radiation gear was the best in the world.

"Then, when you return from Ye City, I will announce the news of the relocation," Gu Yunshan pursed his lips:

"As for me, Gray Rat, Aunt Xiao, and the researchers, we will stay in Songhai Town."

"We discussed this earlier, what we should do if official rescuers came for the survivors."

"At that time, we already made the decision that all the researchers from the Underground City would stay and continue their research."

"Nowhere is more suitable for nuclear pollution experiments than here."

They had taken anti-cancer drugs and enhanced new special medicines, so their bodies were fine, but those survivors couldn't hold on.

Some had cancer, some had physical deformities, or their entire skin was peeling off, and they urgently needed treatment.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunshan looked at Jiang Fei,

"Miss Jiang, can you do me a favor?"
