Chapter 214: Yao Ran’s Plan
While Long Yu and Yao Ran were deep in thought, Huang Qian sighed and muttered, "I wonder what will happen to our brothers in the military."
Hearing this, Yao Ran frowned slightly. She had already used many supplies to help the soldiers survive the extreme cold. There was no reason to let them fall victim to a parasitic infection now.
Shi Xuan saw she was deep in thought and said, "Yao Ran, you are a medical student. Do you have any ideas on how to handle this?"
Although many experts and doctors worked for the government, most only focused on what they were interested in. If a parasitic infection spread throughout the city, the government would likely prioritize civilians first.
However, if they took matters into their own hands, they could help the soldiers and save as many as possible while the government focused on saving the civilians.
After considering this, Yao Ran said, "We don't know if the soldiers have already been infected, so they will need to start taking the medicine as a precaution as soon as possible."
"Afterward, they will require a large amount of disinfectant to clean their living quarters and bodies every day and when they go out on missions or interact with other people. Preparing enough medicine and disinfectant will demand significant resources and time, and I'm not sure if the government will allocate supplies for this."
Listening to her words, everyone fell silent.
Seeing their worried expressions, Yao Ran smiled and said, "If the government doesn't provide supplies for the soldiers, how about we handle it ourselves?"
The moment her words fell, the others looked at her in surprise.
Shi Xuan frowned and asked, "Yao Ran, do you know how many soldiers are stationed at the Juncheng Military Base?"
Yao Ran wasn't sure, but she had a lot of supplies, so she calmly replied, "I don't know the exact number, but I do know I can prevent them all from being eaten alive by these parasites."
Looking at her confident expression, Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What is your plan?"
Yao Ran smiled, "First, we need to find Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui."
Hearing this, Huang Qian asked, "Are you planning to buy medicine from him?"
Seeing Huang Qian's serious expression, Yao Ran said, "I'm not going to buy medicine from him."
"Then why do you want to find Ling Yi?" Jia Xiang asked, curious.
Yao Ran looked at her and replied, "I want him to help us spread the news about the parasitic infection so the government can handle it before it becomes a plague."
Listening to her plan, the others realized that Ling Yi, as a black-market dealer, likely had connections with influential people. Asking him to spread the news would be more effective than for them to report it directly.
Even at the end of the world, wealthy and influential people still held authority in both government and the military. With them taking the lead in addressing the parasitic infection, Yao Ran's group could focus on saving the soldiers.
Seeing no objections to her plan, Yao Ran said, "Long Yu, it will take me some time to prepare the medicine and disinfectant. Can you contact Ling Yi and negotiate with him? If he has any requests, please let me know."
Long Yu nodded, "Alright. A Xuan and I will go find him today."
Hearing this, Yao Ran shook her head and said, "Not today. We all need to take the medicine to expel any parasites from our bodies as soon as possible. You can go once I'm sure everyone is clear from parasites."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Alright."
After this, Yao Ran stood up and looked at her friends. She then said, "I will head back and start preparing the medicine."
Leaving those words, she hurried home while Long Yu and the others continued discussing how to execute their plan discreetly.
Once home, Yao Ran tended to her plants before going to her bedroom. After turning on the portable air conditioner and adding more ice and water, she began to prepare the medicine. An hour later, she poured the dark medicinal liquid into a thermos bottle, leaving only a bowl for herself. Carrying the thermos bottle, she returned to unit 2001.
Seeing Long Yu was still there, she said, "Qiqi, could you get six bowls for me?"
Deng Qiqi nodded and soon returned from the kitchen with six bowls. As soon as she opened the thermos bottle, the bitter smell of the medicine filled the room. Yao Ran poured the medicine into the bowls, dividing it evenly.
She looked at her friends and said, "Drink up."
Long Yu, Jia Xiang, and Shi Xuan picked up their bowls and drank without changing their expressions. Watching them calmly finish the medicine, Huang Qian also picked up his bowl and bravely drank it.
The moment the bitter liquid entered his mouth, his face scrunched up as if he'd turned into a sour persimmon. He barely managed to finish it and quickly drank water to wash away the
bitter taste.
When Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi saw Huang Qian's grimacing face, they hesitated briefly before bravely picking up their bowls, pinching their noses, and drinking them down.
After everyone finished the medicine, Yao Ran said, "Be prepared. You will likely have stomachaches and need to use the bathroom soon."
Huang Qian groaned and muttered, "I'd rather be vomiting than stuck in the bathroom."
Yao Ran chuckled at his complaint, then stood up and said, "I still have some cat litter at home. You can come to my place to get it."
She turned to look at Long Yu and asked, "Do you want to come over to my place?"
When her words fell, the others looked at her in surprise, then turned to Long Yu with
complicated expressions.
Unaware of their thoughts, Long Yu nodded and followed her back. Not long after, he returned with a bag of cat litter and left again.
Looking at the big bag of cat litter on the floor, Huang Qian hesitantly asked, "Why would Yao Ran want Long Yu to go to her place after taking the medicine? Won't she find him... stinky?"
