Chapter 11 Pharmacist ()

Where am I?

Xue Tong opened his eyes with difficulty and took stock of the surrounding environment.

What caught his eye was a small and crude cubicle, barely big enough for him to lie flat on his back. But it was filled with all kinds of plants. There were many types of plants, and Xue Tong only recognized a few. They were all rare medicinal herbs in the wild.

.Everything can be sold at a good price on the black market. From this point, Xue Tong deduced that the owner of the compartment must be a wealthy pharmacist.

Under him is a shabby but clean wooden bed. On the bedside are some books about pharmacists and a shabby rag doll. The color of the rag doll has faded. But it is washed very clean.

There are also a few small patches. It can be seen that the owner is a careful girl.

Could it be that he was rescued?

There was a slight shaking under him. Xue Tong then realized that he was in a truck. His eyes lit up slightly, but then dimmed again. He remembered his last escape.

After witnessing Li'er's great change, Xue Tong wanted to try his best to hit the black bear again. However, he was seriously injured and could not use even the slightest strength. He could only struggle to escape from the ruins. Not far away from the ruins.

He entered the hazy stage of high fever. In the haze, Xue Tong only remembered that when he looked back for the last time, he saw the black bear's fearful look, but Li'er was gone.

In the apocalypse, everyone will avoid contact with contaminated people, because many contaminated people carry terrible radiation sources and viruses. And the body fluids of contaminated people can themselves be transmitted. Li'er is a contaminated person, and her bite

Although it is not fatal, it can make the black bear frightened and panicked. And the last change shows that Lier has begun to mutate. This is the terrifying effect caused by high-intensity radiation. Only this effect can make the black bear so scared that it gives up the pursuit of blood.

Hitomi.

Xue Tong doesn't know what this mutation will turn into Li'er, but one thing is certain, that is, the original Li'er will never come back.

The skinny little figure who dragged him a little bit. The little girl who used her thin body to take care of him and exchanged her body for him for food. The girl who silently bandaged his wounds every time he came back injured and bleeding.

The weak woman who left the best food to him and gnawed the hard meat silently. The images of Li'er at different times overlapped one by one in front of Xue Tong's eyes, and finally turned into a gentle smiling face.

Xue Tong's heart... suddenly hurt so much.

The end of the world is a world lacking emotions. When survival is not guaranteed, emotions are simply a luxury hope for human beings. But Xue Tong discovered that Li'er had successfully left a shadow deep in his heart.

Xue Tong didn't know why Li'er dragged him home in the first place. She also didn't know why she kept accompanying and taking care of him. But Li'er played different roles in different periods of his life. A mother, a sister.

, a wife, a lover. In this dirty apocalypse, Li'er is like a clear spring, nourishing Xue Tong's empty heart.

Men...like eagles...

Just don’t you know that even if an eagle flies into the sky, it will pay the price of heartbreak?

Xue Tong's eyes gradually became confused and covered with gray mist...

I don't know how long it took, but the door of the compartment suddenly opened. A little blond girl walked in. Seeing Xue Tong's confused eyes, she couldn't help but light up.

"you're awake……"

"..." Xue Tong said nothing, still looking at the ceiling blankly.

"Why don't you speak?" the little blond girl asked in a low voice. Seeing that Xue Tong still didn't respond, she shook her head. She dug under the bed for a while and then threw a cloth bag on Xue Tong.

"Okay, sir. Regardless of whether you are mute or not, there is no freeloader in this brigade. If you want to eat, you have to work. I don't know what your value is, so just give me medicine first. This is you

You will have to work on your tools when we get to the next campsite. I hope your hands can still be used."

"..." Xue Tong still didn't make a sound, but his fingers twitched unconsciously.

"Very good, it seems that there is nothing wrong with your hands. Then I will teach you the next place. This is the Black Sheep Brigade. If you want to survive, you must work hard. In this dirty world, useless people will

Dead." The little girl whispered a few words, turned around and walked out of the cubicle.

The moment the compartment door closed, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in Xue Tong's eyes.

"Dirty... world?"

"Li'er..."

"That's what I said..."

The brigade's convoy moved slowly and finally arrived at an abandoned small village in the evening. This small village looked like a place where no one lived. The houses were dilapidated. The village had no water circulation system or food production equipment.

The small village still retains its original pastoral style. Such a small village has little use value. The reason why the tour group camped here is because there is a water source nearby.

A lightly polluted river.

In this world, any water source is precious. What’s more, it is only slightly polluted? The water quality of the river was tested by Sarah, and it is barely enough to meet the seventh-level drinking water category. This is the third-to-last level. It means that as long as

After fine filtration, the water is drinkable.

The brigade's convoy stopped outside the small village. Many free people came down one after another. They were wrapped in airtight hooded cloaks and began to search the small village carefully. They searched for many targets, including food,

Drinking water, utensils, fuel, and even the corpses left by mutant creatures. Everything that can be used is their target. For the Doomsday Brigade to survive, every bit of collection is essential.

Some of the free people here are just tourists, but there are also many who are members of the brigades themselves. They rely on the brigades for their survival, so they work very carefully.

Sarah also got out of the truck. But her target was not these supplies, but the nearby river. There are often many useful plants growing on the edge of the river. These must be handled by Sarah herself.

As the only pharmacist in the brigade, she was accompanied by two defenders. They were two relatively strong adult men holding simple spears in their hands. They carefully guarded Sarah. The blood pupils were also captured by Sarah.

Pulled it out. The brigade does not raise useless trash. The blood pupil has wasted too many resources in the front. Sarah must make the blood pupil reflect its value. Otherwise, he may be kicked out of the brigade the next moment.

In this way, Xue Tong followed Sarah, learning to identify herbs bit by bit. He could not move his right hand yet, but the injury on his left hand had basically healed. So he was qualified for such a simple job. It just made Sarah unhappy.

What's more, his expression is dull, like a machine.

"This is kongcao. It looks a bit like bitter yellow. But it has no toxins and is not aggressive. It can be used to treat lung trauma."

"This is cold root grass. Be careful. Its leaves have severe cold poison. Only the roots can be used. It is a good thing for reducing fever. You can use it to get rid of your fever."

"Very good, you learn quickly, but don't stand there stupidly, because now you are in the territory of Death Cloud Grass. If you don't want to be corroded into a skeleton by a cloud of poisonous mist, I suggest you leave there immediately.

"

Along the way, the little girl Sarah kept explaining the identification of herbs to Xue Tong. Xue Tong also learned silently. He never spoke, and his movements were not fast enough. But he could always master the corresponding skills after Sarah explained.

.His hands are very steady, and stability means accuracy. Therefore, he rarely causes danger. On the contrary, the two bodyguards guarding them accidentally triggered an attack by a group of man-eating plants, and they almost lost their lives.

"Hey, you two guys, are you here to cause trouble for me? You have wasted my opportunity. I want to tell the leader." Sarah showed her severity at this time. The two guards were immediately frightened.

He looked pale and apologized profusely.

Resources are very tight in the last days, and even the brigades are not rich. Everyone who relies on the brigades for life is subject to strict rules. Obtain their own resources according to the rules. The seemingly simple words of the little girl Sarah, if true,

If it is implemented, then the two unlucky guards will definitely have their points deducted when they return. Their food rations will also be reduced. And the two guards are obviously not single. Deductions from their rations will definitely affect their women and children. No wonder

So nervous.

Looking at their trembling hands and panicked expressions, Xue Tong behind them was expressionless. But he felt a little strange in his heart, how could such people become guards? With their courage, they probably don't have the courage to fight mutant beasts. They can also protect them.

Precious apothecary?

I thought to myself that Xue Tong's appearance had not changed at all, and he was still collecting herbs step by step. But in this way, compared with the panic of the two guards, his calm performance aroused the good impression of the little girl Sarah.

Even a guard said.

"Let's see, you two idiots are not even as good as the savages my brother picked up. Are you considered a formal member of the brigade? Be careful, I will never spare you if another accident occurs."

"Yes, Miss Sarah." The two guards breathed a sigh of relief. They turned to look at Xue Tong, but their eyes became a little unfriendly.

Through Sarah's complicated words, they could sensitively sense that Sarah wanted to take in this man of unknown origin. Then the brigade's supplies would be even more tense. Their status would also be challenged.

I really hope this guy gets killed by poisonous weeds.

The two guards thought maliciously, but became more and more cautious in their actions. They fearfully expanded the warning range so as not to affect Sarah's collection.

Fortunately, there were no other accidents this time. Sarah's herbal collection was soon over. This time, the harvest was not small, and she got several sacks of herbs. Xue Tong carried the big bags behind her.

Sarah discovered another advantage of Xue Tong. He has good strength and can also be a competent coolie.

It's just that no one noticed that in order to collect more herbs, they had unknowingly walked out of the camp's control area. When they were about to go back, they discovered that there were more herbs beside the river where they came from.

A small figure was lying by the river drinking water.

"Oh, damn. It's a mutated beast!" Sarah groaned in pain and hurriedly hid behind the guard.

"I hope it didn't find us. Now, gentlemen of the escort, it's time to show your worth. Take me back to the camp safely."
