Bringing the Supermarket to the Apocalypse Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Gift

The mercenary group will get 10 points every time a level one task is completed. 100 points were needed to be promoted to a level 2 mercenary group. In a day, Lin Feng had completed 15 tasks, and the mercenary group, San She Halls, which he established, had been promoted to level 2.  It can be said that ever since the start of the apocalypse, they were the fastest mercenary group to be promoted to level 2.  

A mercenary group that achieved level 2 could look at level 3 tasks and below on the apocalypse watch. Lin Feng saw, at present, that there was only one level 3 task near Zhan Lang base. The task’s description said to kill a cla.s.s three zombie that was 20 kilometres away from Zhan Lang base. The reward was 500 white crystals.  

Lin Feng secretly shook his head when he saw this task. A cla.s.s three zombie was a cla.s.s he could not deal with right now.  

Lin Feng was just a level 2 cultivator. According to Dong Wu, dealing with a cla.s.s one zombie was no problem.  Even Dong Wu, who was not a cultivator, could kill a cla.s.s one zombie with a strike team or with his friend, let alone with Lin Feng.  

A cla.s.s two zombie should not pose too big of a problem. A cultivator could absorb the energy in white crystals because white crystals were produced from the brains of cla.s.s one zombies. Therefore, as one absorbs energy, their physique will also change. A cultivator was different from a normal person, and did not fear getting infected by zombies.

As such, relying purely on power, Lin Feng’s strength and a cla.s.s two zombie’s strength were about the same. However, to deal with a cla.s.s three zombie, Lin Feng was absolutely no match.

The enticement of 500 white crystals to a normal person was enormous. However, to Lin Feng, it was not a big number, as it was worth the price of 10 vials of antibiotics. The antibiotics cost nothing. Lin Feng could just simply carry out a level 1 task, deliver 10 vials of antibiotics, and he would easily earn that amount. Why would he take that risk?

And cultivators in the base won’t be bothered about this task. These cultivators weren’t lacking in white crystals. Some base managers, for the sake of winning over the strength of strong cultivators, spare no expense to these people, for the most important thing was the security of the base.  Lin Feng didn’t believe that those cultivators would gladly and diligently run out 20 kilometers away, and brave the danger just for 500 white crystals.  

Lin Feng saw that the level 3 task had been listed for a week, and had no been completed. Obviously, those that had strength were blatantly ignoring it, while those with no strength couldn’t even complete it even if they wanted to.  

Breakfast was hot porridge. Despite it being simple, it could also solve the problem of food and warm clothing.  The ordinary poor would also want hot porridge, and could only hope.  Lin Feng had been an orphan since young, and his living circ.u.mstances were poor. As such, he didn’t nitpick over food. In his original world, he also ate plain food, even though he made more than the common worker.  

After taking a few tasks which required antibiotics, Lin Feng once again brought Dong Wu along with him out of the base, and drove off towards the destination of the task.  

After yesterday’s “sweep of tasks”, today, all the tasks that needed antibiotics could be completed, as the tasks which required antibiotics only had 7 or 8.  Naturally, Lin Feng took on all these types of tasks.  

Dong Wu sat in the pa.s.senger seat. He took a tactical waistcoat and grenades from his apocalypse watch, and hung the grenades one by one onto the waist coat.  When the grenades weren’t being used, they were kept inside his apocalypse watch. These kinds of dangerous things couldn’t be casually placed outside.  

Just before he departed, Lin Feng left a few white crystals specifically for Dou Yuxin in order to let her absorb as much as possible.  Randomly picking up a cultivator, was not a small harvest.  

Under the deterrence of the grenades, Lin Feng had successfully completed 3 tasks, delivering 30 vials of antibiotics, and earning 1500 white crystals.  

Lin Feng furrowed his brows when he saw the next task. The task said that it wanted 1 vial of antibiotics or similar drugs.  Lin Feng didn’t want to deliver for this task at all, however, another task was close to the location for this task, so Lin Feng just went to it.  Otherwise, for a single trip, there was not enough money for gas.  

He drove to the task location and saw the issuers. Lin Feng suddenly realised why they only wanted one vial of antibioticsーthey only had two people.  

One man and one woman, likely husband and wife, and seemed to be about thirty years old.  The man was carrying an a.s.sault rifle on his back, and was sitting beneath a big tree.  That woman looked very delicate, and leaned on the man’s shoulder.  The woman’s leg was injured, and was wrapped up with a white cloth.  

“The antibiotics that you want have arrived. ”

After getting out of the car and arriving in front of them, Lin Feng said this towards the man. At the same time, he took out a vial of antibiotics from his apocalypse watch, and handed it over.  

Lin Feng didn’t want to waste time here, as he still had three or four more tasks to complete There was a lot of danger in the wild, and Lin Feng didn’t want any accident to happen.  

“Antibiotics? When did you decide on antibiotics?”

The woman who was originally dependent on the man’s shoulder, was fiercely startled by Lin Feng’s words and wanted to stand up, however, her leg still had a wound.  Whenever she moved her injured leg, the woman would frown. Obviously, the injury was serious.

The man saw the woman’s movement, and hastened to support her.  

“Xiao Ru, your injury is too serious. If we don’t use the medicine, I’m afraid you will lose this leg. ”

The man stood up after supporting, and his voice sank as he said this.  

“But we have so little money. If we use it now, how will we continue living? ”

The woman’s eyes were moist as she said this.  

“Xiao Ru it’s me who’s not good, I couldn’t make money. This time, you have to first properly treat your leg. After bringing you back, I’ll come out to hunt. For you, and for our future life, I would take even the biggest risk. ”

The man’s facial expression seemed slightly lost, however, his tone was firm.

“No, I can’t use it. These 50 white crystals are our entire belongings. If we use it on my body, what will we eat? If we buy the antibiotics, we won’t even have money to buy bullets. What will we use to deal with these zombies? We have fought laboriously for the past three years, and saved up these white crystals. I rather lose this leg, than have to start from the beginning. ”

The woman was firm, and was determined on not using the antibiotics.

“Xiao Ru…”

The man was very sad after he saw how stubborn his wife was.

“My turn to talk, are you two done?”

Lin Feng, who was there, finally opened his mouth. His extended hand was tired after listening to the two go back and forth. He couldn’t help, but open his mouth to remind them.

“This little brother, we don’t want the antibiotics, I’ll get my husband to cancel the task. Making you come all the way out here, I am really ashamed. ”

The two finally reacted after they heard Lin Feng, but they still continued to stand there. Then, the woman hastily opened her mouth to say this, and expressed her apologies.  

“Whatever, you guys aren’t having it easy either. You guys can use this, life is hard, you have to live well. ”

Lin Feng sighed as he bent down, and placed the antibiotics in front of the woman, and, without turning back, he brought Dong Wu and left.  

The man wanted to open his mouth to say something as he saw Lin Feng leaving, but once again held back.  The man’s eyes were slightly red, and watched Lin Feng drive away.

Lin Feng wasn’t a good man, but was also made out of flesh and blood like the others.  Lin Feng had a girlfriend in his previous world. Although they weren’t together for very long, Lin Feng could understand the feelings of that couple.  

Lin Feng believed that if it was his girlfriend, he would give up everything in exchange for her recovery.  This kind of frame of mind, was not something one can acquire without their other half.  As for the reason why Lin Feng gave them a vial of antibiotics, Lin Feng saw the love the man had for his wife, which reminded him of his girlfriend from his original world.  

To Lin Feng antibiotics had no cost, however, to those who have to fight in this apocalyptic world in order to live, it was extremely expensive.  This was similar to Lin Feng’s original world. For example, contracting ankylosing spondylitis, which required a few hundred thousands of biological agents to treat, absolutely terrified normal people.  

If he didn’t see this, he wouldn’t have thought about his own feelings, and would have also forgot about them. However, today Lin Feng encountered this, and could only do a little bit.

When Lin Feng was travelling to the location of the next task,  he suddenly saw a few people fighting not far away, and fighting back on the other side was a zombie.
