Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 109 Settlement on the Twenty-Third Day (Third Update)

Qin Ziwen said, "Just say I have a cold and am not feeling well, and we'll talk about it later."

Qin Ziwu replied, "Okay, I'll go tell Dr. Zhao."

"Oh, right, wait a minute, take some food to Unit 2, 301 of Building 5 and deliver it to Li Yue, so he doesn't starve to death."

"understood."

Half an hour later, in Unit 1, Building 2, Room 202.

"He has a cold?"

Zou Jianghe leaned back in his chair, holding nail clippers in his hand.

"Yes, Qin Ziwen has been coughing since yesterday and has been resting at home today. Mr. Zou, would you like to continue the meeting?"

Hearing this, Zou Jianghe couldn't help but lean back, "No need, let's talk about it after he's feeling better."

Watching Zhao Pu leave, Zou Jianghe looked behind him and asked, "You said he was infected, is that true or false?"

"It's possible that it's true. Our people have been watching him all day, and he hasn't left the house. He must be resting at home."

Zou Jianghe said with some regret, "That's such a pity."

Huang Tao stepped out of the bedroom behind him. "I suspect he may have information about the location of a hidden altar."

Zou Jianghe nodded. "Mm."

"You're not moved?"

Zou Jianghe chuckled softly, "Tempted? Of course I'm tempted. Who would ever want too many cards? So, do you know the location of the altar now?"

Huang Tao said with a gloomy face: "He controls information very tightly. The only people who know about the altar are probably his core members. I'm afraid of alerting him."

Zou Jianghe said flippantly, "This isn't like you."

Huang Tao said, "He's different from ordinary people. He's not someone to be trifled with. If pushed too far, he's really capable of killing someone."

"So you came to me wanting to use me to get rid of him." Zou Jianghe closed his eyes.

Huang Tao said, "I just feel that we work together quite comfortably, how could you think of me like that?"

Zou Jianghe chuckled: "The Alliance is an organization dedicated to uniting all homeowners in the community. I would never attack someone without a reason; that would not be in line with the Alliance's mission."

And here's some free information for you: when someone dies, all the cards they used in their homestead disappear. So, trying to steal someone's cards by killing them is pointless; it will only result in mutual destruction. I actually hope he can pull through this illness, so he can have another partner then.

The number of households in the Jue Xing Jia Yuan residential community has now reached 13%, and people are dying every day. Nobody knows what kind of environment they'll be transported to next.

"Where exactly is that altar?" Huang Tao muttered to himself. Ever since he saw someone using a unicycle in the neighborhood, he had been keeping an eye out for it.

As it turned out, he actually found some things.

He had obtained an expansion card through some means, so he knew exactly what the exterior walls were like after the expansion card was used.

I thought that having obtained three cards meant I was already in the top tier in the neighborhood.

It turned out that one house had all its windows gone!

He initially thought it was a fantasy, but after witnessing it firsthand, he had to admit that there were indeed experts out there.

After making some inquiries, he learned that the homeowner's surname was Qin, and he had actually met him a few times before.

It's hard to tell whether you feel envy or jealousy.

So he went to Zou Jianghe, only to find that Zou Jianghe had already noticed the man surnamed Qin.

Huang Tao looked at Zou Jianghe, "Aren't you worried that he'll threaten your position?" Zou Jianghe waved his hand, unconcerned, "As long as he wants to acquire resources, he can't bypass my alliance. The real core is still people. Without people, no matter how many buildings there are, they're just lifeless objects. And a person's energy is limited. Why should I worry about him?"

Take your woodworking shed, for example. It may be fully equipped with tools, but the real core is still that old carpenter. Without the carpenter, your shed is just a decoration. Doesn't that prove that people are the key?

Huang Tao frowned. "But there are recruitment cards."

Zou Jianghe laughed heartily: "How many people can a recruitment card recruit? With such a low drop rate, it's just worrying unnecessarily. Besides, the person summoned might not even be a real person." After saying that, Zou Jianghe picked up the teapot on the table and poured Huang Tao a cup of tea. "By the way, what about what I told you last time about having that old carpenter recruit apprentices? If he's willing, the number of apprentices could stretch from your doorstep all the way to the south gate of the community!"

Huang Tao shook his head: "He disagrees. He is only willing to pass it on to his own son and has no plans to recruit other apprentices for the time being."

Zou Jianghe sighed softly, "Ah, these people."

After dozing off for a while, Qin Ziwen felt refreshed when he woke up. The itchy feeling in his chest and throat had completely disappeared. He no longer coughed, had no phlegm, and felt no discomfort in his breathing.

Qin Ziwen took out a mercury thermometer and measured his body temperature.

36.9°.

Am I all better now?

He asked his younger brother to inquire with Dr. Zhao.

Soon, the younger brother brought back Dr. Zhao's message: "Brother, Dr. Zhao said that your body is recovering very quickly. Most of the germs in your body have been killed, and you are now in the 'recovery period,' so you can't stop taking the medicine."

Otherwise, the disease might resurface, and the bacteria might develop drug resistance, making it even more difficult to treat.

"How many more days do we need to eat this?"

"Take it for two more days. When your cough has completely stopped, you can climb stairs without feeling chest tightness or shortness of breath, and you have no phlegm at all, then you're almost done."

Qin Ziwen assessed his condition and found that he basically met the last three criteria. However, in order to consolidate the therapeutic effect, he decided to wait one more day to avoid infecting others.

In the evening, after eating the cooked meat porridge, I took a slow walk on the ground to let my body rest.

It has to be said that today was the most relaxing day he had since he transmigrated.

No need to worry, just let your body relax naturally.

As for mental well-being, although I try to give myself positive self-talk, it is still difficult to completely relax due to my worries about the future.

Listening to the lively sounds of meat being cured outside, Qin Ziwen closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Silent all night.

"You have successfully survived in the wilderness for 23 days. Your subordinates hunted down a black deer and created a powerful bear trap. Overall score: 40 points"

I woke up feeling refreshed this morning, and what made me even more invigorated was yesterday's reward – a skilled doctor!

The traditional Chinese medicine doctor I've been longing to see has finally arrived.

Summon directly using a recruitment card.

Her jet-black hair was neatly combed and tucked into a small blue cloth cap, with a few strands falling down her temples. Her complexion was rosy and her eyes were clear.

Upon seeing Qin Ziwen, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

"This old man, Qian Muzhen, greets Your Excellency."

Qin Ziwen took two steps back and then said, "Mr. Qian, please stay a little further away from me. I was recently infected with the disease and I'm not sure if I've fully recovered yet."

Qian Muzhen looked him up and down, stroking his long beard. “Hmm, but judging from your appearance and complexion, you don’t seem to be ill.”
