Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 367 Preliminary Investigation
In the pharmacy on the first floor, many people were going in and out, taking out medicines.

Zhao Pu said with a smile, "President, these medicines have arrived just in time. The hospital director is quite farsighted, having just received a large batch of medicines."

Director Zhou, who was standing next to him, said, "Actually, it is also related to time travel, because many buildings have disappeared all over the country, which is officially defined as a supernatural event."

The prevailing opinion is that these buildings were taken away by aliens or that they were transported through time.

Then the hospital director used his connections to get several extra batches of medicine, saying that if our hospital ever time-traveled, we'd have more medicine.

Qin Ziwen found it amusing. "Your dean is quite interesting. Where is he?"

Director Zhou gave an awkward smile, "He didn't come to the hospital today."

Wu Shanqi, who was standing next to him, sighed inwardly. He should have taken the day off earlier.

Qin Ziwen stopped and looked at the group of doctors surrounding him.
"Our Qin Alliance is recruiting members and preparing to expand its medical department. We now need skilled and compassionate doctors and medical staff."

If anyone is interested, you can come and sign up. Our Qin Alliance will provide security, food, and other assistance.

Many doctors around them pricked up their ears and pondered silently.

Unlike others, most of those who are able to work at Renkuan Hospital, apart from a few with connections, are skilled and have real abilities.

Some people, upon hearing this, couldn't help but feel a bit reserved.

Talented people are popular everywhere.

Especially in this post-apocalyptic setting after time travel, doctors are definitely very important.

No one can guarantee they won't get sick, and if they do, they have to see a doctor.

A good bird chooses its tree carefully, at least considering the attitude behind it.

Of course, since it was the Qin Alliance that first sent people to rescue them, they would still prefer to join the Qin Alliance if the conditions were the same.

“I do!” Wu Shanqi agreed without hesitation.

With the connection of his old classmate and the fact that he had been saved by Qin Meng's people, he felt that this question did not need any other answer.

Many doctors around the room stiffened when they heard Wu Shanqi agree so readily.

Your quick agreement makes us look really bad!
“I am willing too,” responded a surgeon who was close to Wu Shanqi.

After one person took the lead, more and more doctors joined in.

Soon, more than half of the doctors in the surrounding area joined Qin Meng directly.

The remaining half of the doctors also hesitated.

They had intended to hold out for a higher price, but it seems they reaped what they sowed, shooting themselves in the foot.

"President Qin, how many people are there in our Qin Alliance?" Wu Shanqi mustered his courage and asked loudly.

Zhao Pu smiled and said, "Basically, everyone in the community is one of our own."

Upon hearing this, the remaining doctors immediately stopped hesitating and responded to the call.

I was afraid of being too slow.

As they exited the hospital's main building, Zhao Pu said, "Chairman, now most of the doctors in the hospital have joined, and they've taken away all the medicines and medical supplies; basically everything of value has been moved."

Qin Ziwen understood his subtext: if all the valuable things were taken away, then the remaining items wouldn't be as valuable.

"We need to continue screening and selecting from the remaining patients. We can't miss any talent. As long as they are honest and have no ulterior motives, they can be taken in as unofficial staff for observation. After they make contributions, they can be promoted to official members of the Qin Alliance ahead of schedule."

"clear."

Taking over the hospital and bringing it under Qin Alliance's rule didn't take much effort. Qin Alliance had an overwhelming advantage in both numbers and quality.

Having survived for several months, Qin Meng's long-term residents are now far superior to the sub-healthy people who have lived in the city for a long time, both in terms of experience and physical strength.

So everything fell into place.

Of course, both Qin Ziwen and the others in the Qin Alliance understood that the current subjugation was only a phase.

We've all been there.

People who have lived in urban environments for a long time will experience a rapid change in mindset when they suddenly arrive in an unfamiliar environment, especially a primitive environment without public security, procuratorial and judicial departments.

This requires an adaptation process.

Some people can quickly adapt to and integrate into their environment.

Some people may also have certain ideas.

It's better to guide than to block.

What Qin Ziwen had to do was wait, wait for the hidden dangers to develop and grow, and then expose them.

After things settled down at the hospital, Qin Ziwen convened a meeting with the top leaders of the Qin Alliance.

"This underground cave is larger than we imagined. Judging from these passages and the surrounding space, it is probably an underground world."

Yuan Ming said, "The space here is very large, and it will probably take quite a while to investigate the surrounding environment."

Deng Guang said, “Lighting is a big problem. The underground world is dark, and we haven’t found any native light sources yet. We can only rely on burning firewood, but burning it all the time is very wasteful. We probably won’t have enough firewood stored for long.”

Is it that wasteful of fuel?

Cao Biansheng nodded: "Yes, for safety reasons, at least ten bonfires have been lit around our community at the same time. This is already a reduced number. If there are any fewer, the light will not be enough, and many areas will not be illuminated. If insects get close, we may not be able to spot them."

Li Yue licked his lips: "Is the danger of this underground cave just insects? Have you found any big ones? We can use our newly created weapon to test the waters with the big ones."

Cao Biansheng said, "The largest centipede we've found so far is only six meters long, which isn't very big. Moreover, its defense isn't that impressive; weapons can pierce through it. It's about three strong young men who, with proper coordination, can kill it without taking any damage using long spears."

Wang Jun sighed upon hearing this, wondering when it started, that a six-meter-long centipede could only receive a mediocre evaluation.

If a centipede this big could appear on Earth, it would absolutely drive reptile enthusiasts and zoologists crazy.

Du Yu spoke up, "There's water on the south side of the community, and there's danger in the water; there might be something big in it."

Stagnant water or flowing water?

Du Yu shook his head: "I'm not sure. It's quite a large area, and it doesn't look like stagnant water."

Upon hearing that there was water, Zhang Chongshan's expression shifted slightly. As a member of the Qin Alliance's navy, coming to this land map was tantamount to being severely slashed by the version update.

Without a suitable platform to showcase his talents, his Nostalgia will simply gather dust on this map.

Whether the Nostalgia can go on the water depends mainly on the chairman's opinion.

Noticing Zhang Chongshan's gaze, Qin Ziwen glanced at him and said, "No rush. For now, let's not go into the water. We should remain on guard to the south. I think the main task is to conduct preliminary reconnaissance of the five passages around the community."

First, we need to know where these five passages lead to, and whether there are any threatening underground creatures within a one-kilometer straight-line distance from us, like the centipede cave behind the hospital.

Then, I'll also look for traces of my partners. Since this map is about cooperation, I think the distance between the two sides of the Abyss shouldn't be too far, otherwise there would be no point in cooperating.

Secondly, we need to find the food sources of underground creatures. Centipedes can grow to such a large size; what do they eat? They certainly don't grow up eating soil.
