Chapter 5 Gathering Supplies
Blue Star officials launched a material collection operation in the early morning of the next day.

The rapid official action was not stimulated by He Wandeng's shabby declaration, but the research team led by Professor Gu finally made a breakthrough.

On the night of the connection between He Wandeng and He Lao, around eleven o'clock, Professor Gu uploaded a profile of the mutated mouse—although the mutated mouse only lived for ten seconds, it did emit sparks.

According to the analysis of Professor Nursing's team, the concentration of mutagenic substances brought out by He Wandeng when he took out the newspaper was not high, and after being diluted with a large amount of air, it would no longer have any effect.

Therefore, around twelve o'clock, He Wandeng and Shen Feng were released.

On the 20th, at five o'clock in the morning, the major, Shen Feng, was dismissed in advance and returned to the army to work as a coolie.

And soon there was a taciturn Li Xiangwei beside He Wandeng.

It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance.

He Wandeng was mentally prepared for this.

Therefore, apart from spending a few minutes trying to remember Li Xiangwei's unremarkable public face when they first met, she treated him as a bodyguard and assistant without any burden.

Taking advantage of the fact that the authorities were rushing to get supplies, He Wandeng took Li Xiangwei to the Capital Seed Wholesale Market.

For He Wandeng, once known as the "walking granary of the last days", seeds, especially grain seeds, are essential.

Especially when He Wandeng was in the bathroom this morning, she secretly tried it, and found that she can still enter the space, and her special abilities are still there. It is only a matter of time before the space is rebuilt.

But before entering the store, He Wandeng stopped, thought about his words, and asked Li Xiangwei: "Uncle Li, I am considered a special talent now. Will the government reimburse me for my purchases?"

Li Xiangwei's face was paralyzed without fluctuation, he took out a card from his pocket, and said, "Here is an official reimbursement quota of [-]."

After speaking, he took out another card from the other pocket, and said: "This is the pocket money the Shen family gave you. Shen Feng said that there is at least 1000 million in it, and the password is your birthday."

He Wandeng never expected that she could experience sudden wealth before the end of the world, but in the end she only took the official card and said, "Uncle Li, please help me return the card to the Shen family."

Li Xiangwei silently put the Shen family's card back into his pocket, and silently followed He Wandeng into the store like a shadow.

He Wandeng chose the largest seed wholesale store in the market.

The store has a very complete range of seeds. He Wandeng and the store owner had to negotiate for a while before the store owner agreed to buy seeds at wholesale prices. Although she didn't buy many of each kind, she wanted a lot of varieties.

Vegetables are the cheapest. The average price of most vegetables is about one yuan per pack, and some are more expensive, with an average price of more than 20 yuan per pack.

There are too many kinds of grain seeds, so He Wandeng only chose the two varieties with the highest grain yield and the best taste of each grain.

Anyway, the temperature in her space is controllable, there are no pests and diseases, and the air flow depends on the wind brought by her water flow, so there is no need to consider drought, cold, and pest resistance.

After choosing the grain seeds, He Wandeng bought some fruit seeds. She didn't buy many of them, most of them were the ones that could be eaten back then. She prefers the fruits produced by mutated plants after the end of the world.

Most medicinal seeds are very expensive. He Wandeng found some commonly used prescriptions on the Internet and bought the corresponding medicinal seeds.

After buying these, He Wandeng looked around in the store and bought a batch of seeds of newly bred high-oxygen-yielding plants, as well as some cotton seeds with high cotton yields.

So far, He Wandeng is in this store, and there is nothing else to buy.

After Li Xiangwei paid the bill, He Wandeng asked, "Uncle Li, how much money do I have left for reimbursement?"

Li Xiangwei was sending a message to other people in charge of He Wandeng's safety, asking them to come and take all these seeds back to the official residence arranged for He Wandeng. Hearing this, he replied very succinctly: "120 a .”

He Wandeng thought for a while and said, "Then let's go buy some fungus bags."

Li Xiang didn't have any opinions on why. He drove He Wandeng to buy fungus bags, then went to buy some winter and summer underwear, shoes and hygiene products for her, and finally bought salt with the rest of the money.

Li Xiangwei was just a payment tool person throughout the whole process, and he didn't ask He Wandeng's thoughts.

After that, He Wandeng asked Li Xiangwei to take her to buy some small and medium-sized heat-transfer generators, hydroelectric generators, human-powered generators, diesel generators, and solar power panels, and successfully spent his private property to only one There is 20 yuan left.

Then, He Wandeng invited Li Xiangwei to eat ten yuan a bowl of noodles for dinner, and the two of them each got a bowl, which cost her the last penny.

At 06:30 in the evening, Li Xiangwei sent He Wandeng back to her residence in the Capital Academy of Sciences, which, among other things, had the highest security and confidentiality.

But He Wandeng just sat down on the sofa for 3 minutes, and before he had time to look around the house, he was taken to a meeting room.

The meeting room was full of people, and He Wandeng glanced at the sign on the table before being ushered to a seat.

The people sent by the government alone come from several institutions, let alone the Capital Academy of Sciences, which probably brought a few people from every department in the Academy of Sciences.

The person who presided over this meeting was Mr. He who was connected to He Wandeng last night. He Wandeng looked at the minutes of the meeting that had just been delivered to her, and found that this meeting had been going on for a long time, which made her very relieved .

Fortunately, these people were not waiting for her to come to the meeting.

But He Wandeng had just finished thinking this way, and someone in the team of the scientific research institute suddenly said: "Student He is finally here!"

The meeting room, which was still full of discussions, suddenly fell silent, and He Wandeng said to He Lao who was sitting beside her in embarrassment: "Why don't you let Uncle Li bring me back earlier?"

Mr. He said with a smile: "I think you might be too suffocated in the last days, and everyone is busy today, so I should let you know, but from now on, you have to stay and work overtime with us." .”

He Wandeng has no right to refuse, nor does he want to refuse.

She didn't want to be the savior, but she was fed up with not seeing a living person for several days in the last days.

Perhaps these bigwigs accumulated a lot of questions, and in the next few hours, almost everyone asked He Wandeng questions.

"Why hoard a large amount of contraceptive pills?" This is a question asked by the Ministry of Material Security.

He Wandeng smiled, and replied: "You can also make menstruating women eat less, so that they will stop menstruating slowly due to lack of nutrition, and when they encounter supernatural animals, they will not encounter physiological problems. The problem attracts psychic animals.

"Otherwise, do you think that after the end of the world, all women can always hide in a safe place?"

"We want you to cooperate in doing some tests." This is what a person from the Medical Department of the Academy of Sciences said.

He Wandeng nodded: "After the meeting is over."

"Is it better to use hot weapons or cold weapons to deal with mutated creatures?" This was a question from a military representative.

He Wandeng tilted his head and glanced at him, then asked, "Do you think abilities are better or weapons are better?"

The military representative had never seen supernatural powers before, and his imagination was average, so he simply asked, "Is supernatural powers that powerful?"

He Wandeng said objectively: "Weapons are not useless, when the level of supernatural beings is low, they still have to rely on weapons to protect themselves and hunt mutant creatures.

"It's just that as the level of mutated creatures increases, the damage that the existing hot weapons will cause to them will only become smaller and smaller, and cold weapons need to be continuously strengthened by gold-type superhumans before they can continue to be used."

The military representative's expressionless face was almost unstoppable, and he asked again: "What if we continue to develop more powerful thermal weapons?"

He Wandeng thought about it seriously, and replied: "It's hard.

"Let's put it this way, after I hid in the air-raid shelter, within a few minutes, my mobile phone and other people's terminals were broken one after another.

"When I come out, even if I see usable electronic products, there is no internet, so I can only use it on a single computer."

The military representative sighed, and before he could continue asking, the others approached He Wandeng with questions.

"How many volcanoes have erupted?"

"I don't know, the internet is down, and I don't have wings to fly all over the seven continents to make statistics."

"After you entered the air-raid shelter, how long did it take to return to the ground?"

"It took about three months, but the military people who hid in the air-raid shelter with me went out to collect supplies in protective gear one month after the volcano erupted."

"How long have you survived in the last days?"

"Forgot, my memory is incomplete."

……

Just like that, during the question and answer period, the time quietly crossed the zero o'clock, and the meeting was temporarily suspended after one o'clock in the morning.

He Wandeng walked out of the conference room tiredly, and when he greeted Li Xiangwei who was waiting outside, he was reminded by the medical department to go to their place for a checkup at six in the morning.
