372: life-saving medicine
Inside the awesome RV.
Jiang Fei and six others sat around the table in the living room.
It was their first time in Jiang Fei's RV, and Yan Tianjie and Zhu Xiaowu curiously looked around.
Zhu Xiaowu made no secret of his admiration: "This RV is great! Not only is it spacious and fully equipped, but the seats are also soft and comfortable."
"By the way, Team Leader Jiang, what did you need us for?"
Jiang Fei said, "You all know the situation in Xi Province. I plan to go install the trackers myself. I'll install as many as I can."
"You all stay in Songquan Town, and we'll depart for the next destination after I return."
Yan Tianjie blurted out, "Are you crazy?"
"All areas in Xi Province have been contaminated by nuclear radiation. We can give up on the supply warehouses here; Chairman and Director Ning will understand."
"Moreover, we need to protect your safety."
Xu Qianyao, uncharacteristically, objected, "No, this is too dangerous."
Jiang Fei replied, "It's easier for me to act alone, and I can retreat immediately if an emergency arises."
"Besides, whether I can install them depends on the specific conditions of each area."
"If the nuclear contamination is severe, I'll turn back."
"It will take at most half a month."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianyao said nothing more.
It was false to say he wasn't worried, but Chairman had ordered them to strictly obey Jiang Fei's commands.
Jiang Fei wasn't someone who would take unnecessary risks.
She must have confidence in making this decision.
Xu Qianyao chose to trust Jiang Fei.
Yan Tianjie pursed his lips, about to say something when Lu Yu spoke.
"Fei Fei, I'll go with you."
"I can be your relief driver and help you out with tasks and odd jobs."
"Liu Yuan can stay here with Brother Gu and the others."
Jiang Fei nodded in agreement.
Su Liuyuan also had no objections and asked, "Team Leader, when are you leaving?"
"Tonight. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return."
"Then you two be careful."
"Brother Xu, I'll be sleeping in your car starting tonight."
"No problem." Xu Qianyao got up to help Su Liuyuan pack his luggage.
After packing, Su Liuyuan and the other three got out of the car.
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu drove out of Songhai Town.
Watching the RV drive away, Yan Tianjie's feelings were complex.
He shouldn't have called her a cowardly ghost before.
After all, he himself didn't have the courage to venture deep into the nuclear-contaminated areas.
Perhaps this was why Chairman and Director Ning chose her as the team leader?
She could shoulder the responsibilities of a team leader.

On the other side.
Away from Songquan Town, Jiang Fei stored the RV in the Supermarket and switched to a helicopter.
The reason she wanted to collect supplies alone was that she could use the helicopter to shorten travel time.
Even though they had protective gear and the RV could shield against radiation, it was still not advisable to stay too long in severely contaminated areas.
Jiang Fei sent Lu Yu into the Supermarket.
"If anything happens, contact me on the walkie-talkie."
Exiting the Supermarket, Jiang Fei boarded the helicopter, placing the walkie-talkie and nuclear radiation detector beside her.
Following the map provided by Director Ning, she started the helicopter and flew to Hucheng.
What would normally be a three to four-day drive took only half a day.
Jiang Fei descended to collect supplies from the logistics warehouse.
Afterward, she entered the Supermarket to rest.
The next day, she woke up, exited, and flew the helicopter to the next city.
In less than two days, she had collected from the five cities marked by Director Ning.
What speed!
Not in a hurry to return, Jiang Fei went to other cities to collect more.
As Gray Rat and Gu Yunshan had said, except for Songquan Town, there were no survivors left alive in the entire Xi Province.
Everywhere was desolate.
When she encountered cities with off-the-charts nuclear radiation values, Jiang Fei gave up entering and moved to a different location.
Lu Yu, meanwhile, was farming in the Supermarket, taking care of Big Yellow, Little Black, and the poultry and livestock, contentedly acting as a house-husband.
After flying for a week, Jiang Fei had collected from one-third of Xi Province's logistics warehouses.
This day.
Jiang Fei controlled the helicopter, landing outside a logistics warehouse in Liaocheng.
After collecting from this warehouse, she could return to Songquan Town.
Taking out the key to unlock and entering the password, Jiang Fei smoothly entered the warehouse to collect supplies.
Suddenly, she heard a long-unheard voice.
"Ding—Detecting gold: 13,500 grams!"
Finally, there was gold!
Jiang Fei sped up her collection of supplies.
"Ding—Detecting gold: 3,000,000 grams"
"Detecting gold: 1,000 grams"
As the system's notification sounds continued to ring.
"Ding—Congratulations to the Host for successfully unlocking the second area of the 8th floor of the Supermarket—[Tobacco, Candy, Tea Area]. Gold required to unlock the next area: 133,333,332 grams"
"Current gold owned: 1,680,000 grams"
"Bonus reward: One Lucky Turntable spin. Does the Host wish to use it?"
"Use it."
"Ding—There will always be trials and tribulations on the path of life. May the Host be strong and unyielding, and receive a bottle of 'Life-Saving Medicine.'"
A gold-colored plastic bottle appeared in Jiang Fei's hand.
The bottle only had the five characters "Gold-Swallowing Life-Saving Medicine" engraved on it.
Below that were a few smaller characters—"30 pills."
Inside were small, yellow pills, the size of red beans, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
"Hint: 'Life-Saving Medicine,' as the name suggests, can save lives. Whether it's illness, severe injury, cancer, viral infection, missing limbs, as long as a person still has a breath, one pill will guarantee recovery within a month, making you lively and energetic.
Important reminder: This medicine has no effect on natural aging. It is not recommended to take it when healthy, as it may cause unknown adverse reactions~"
Jiang Fei was shocked.
It could even cure cancer... so wouldn't it also be effective against diseases caused by nuclear radiation?
She had truly hit the jackpot this time!
Excitedly putting away the Life-Saving Medicine, Jiang Fei used her mind to check the newly unlocked area.
Half of the white fog on the 8th floor had dissipated.
Four extra-large, extra-long single-sided shelves were placed against the wall.
One meter in front of the shelves were 10 large counters.
The shelves held tea packaged in metal tins, ceramic jars, wooden boxes, and other materials.
As well as cartons of cigarettes and boxes of cigars.
There were white tea, green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea, green tea, flower tea, red tea, and other teas that could be bought before the apocalypse.
These were divided into high, medium, and low-end varieties.
The cigarettes and cigars were also brands seen before the apocalypse.
On the counters were various loose candies like milk candy, coconut candy, soft candy, fruit candy, nougat, crisp candy, mints, durian candy, bubblegum, preserved plum candy, marshmallows, toffee, and filled candies.
Later, when she returned to Huaxia Base, she could send a few boxes to Aunt You.
Jiang Fei collected all the remaining supplies in the logistics warehouse.
Just as she was about to board the helicopter to leave, Lu Yu's trembling voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Fei Fei, Dabai gave birth."
