Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 222 Hardware Store

However, this was just Lu Yuning's momentary thought. The behavior of creatures like cats is difficult to predict.

No matter what, the destination of this trip is not here, so we still have to get to the pharmacy as soon as possible.

Everyone put the matter behind them for the time being and continued on their way.

The journey went smoothly after that. However, it still took the group almost an entire afternoon to reach their destination.

First, the distance is really far. I have basically never walked such a long distance in the park.

Secondly, this asphalt road is really difficult to walk on, with potholes everywhere. If Lu Yuning wasn't afraid of being discovered by other animals, he would have wanted to find a means of transportation.

It seems that there is no way back today, so I can only stay here for one night.

Wu Xiao stood at the door of the pharmacy and looked around for a long time. The shelves of the pharmacy were full of various medicines.

“Fortunately, everything in here seems to be there.”

Lu Yuning said, "Well, if you have medicine, you don't have to worry about getting sick. Try to bring as much back as possible, mainly fever reducers and antibiotics."

"But this pharmacy is surprisingly unpopular, and the products all look good."

"It's hard to say. The main reason is that we're using very little medication right now. One fever-reducing pill is enough for a group of people until it expires. So there's no point in taking too much. It's likely someone else has been here before, you see."

After Lu Yuning finished speaking, he pointed to the location below the pharmacy door.

Everyone gathered around curiously.

The entrance to the pharmacy was a glass door with a small gap at the bottom, but even they would find it difficult to get through.

However, there is a neat circular notch in the lower left corner. The entire cut is very neat and looks like it was cut directly with a glass cutter.

In addition, near the circular gap, a foot can be clearly seen on the dust, and judging from its shape, it is undoubtedly made by a shrunken human.

The few people were shocked. They didn't expect to find traces of humans as soon as they arrived.

Wu Xiao squatted on the ground, looking at the footprints thoughtfully and said: "Looking at these footprints, they must have been there a long time ago."

Lu Yuning nodded, having the same idea. The footprints looked like they were made by humans with bare feet.

There was a lot of dust on the ground, so it can be clearly seen.

However, a lot of dust had fallen on the footprints, and it was obvious that the footprints had been there for some time.

Lu Yuning stood up and said to everyone, "Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."

After saying that, he was the first to crawl into the gap.

There is one advantage of a pharmacy. Since there is no food and the hygiene is good, even rats won't come there, so it is quite safe.

After entering, they had a headache. The pharmacy here was not small, and there were too many goods in it. However, they only needed fever medicines and antibiotics. It was not easy to find these two medicines in this vast sea of medicines.

"Please look for these two medicines separately. They should be in the flu section. If you find them, please let me know."

Lu Yuning gave an order, and then everyone dispersed and walked around the pharmacy.

After walking around the pharmacy, Lu Yuning didn't find the two medicines, but he did find something useful.

Electronic thermometer.

This is a good thing. It can not only be used to measure temperature, but the electronic components inside can also be used as a temperature sensing device.

The handmade thermometers they had previously made could only measure temperatures in a small range and were not able to sensitively detect temperature changes. With a real temperature sensing device, they might be able to renovate the base's heating facilities.

But then Lu Yuning shook his head. This thing needs to use a button battery. Long-term temperature detection will probably consume a huge amount of battery. However, it is still useful for detecting indoor temperature or water temperature.

There are more than a dozen of them here. Maybe we can disassemble a few of them, remove the batteries, and only take two back. This thing is not big, so Wu Xiao's space should be able to fit it.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called Wu Xiao over, and the two of them dealt with the pile of electronic thermometers and packed them up.

After the two of them finished their work, Han Yingying in the corner finally made a discovery.

"here!"

She called everyone over with a greeting.

Lu Yuning looked in the direction of her finger, and then his eyes lit up: "Penicillin is this"

Several people pulled out the penicillin box. There were more than twenty tablets in the box. These twenty tablets were enough for everyone in the base. After all, they didn't get sick every day, so it would be useless to take more.

Lu Yuning cut the pills and threw them into Wu Xiao's space.

Half of the mission of this trip has been completed. All we need to do is find some fever-reducing drugs like ibuprofen.

The last time Xu Qi had a fever, it left a deep impression on everyone. The change in body temperature after shrinkage has a significant impact on the human body.

Everyone looked around again and finally found a box of ibuprofen on the top shelf near the door.

However, this box of medicine had been opened and one pill was missing.

Sure enough, someone had been here before. Looking at the shape of the pill after it was removed, it was somewhat similar to the gap in the glass at the door.

The edges of the tablets cut by Lu Yuning's supernatural power still have jagged edges, but the gaps created by this person's supernatural power are all extremely smooth.

Apparently it's the same one.

However, this person has quite high quality. He only takes the medicine he needs and does not waste the rest.

Of course, it is also possible that this pill is enough for them to use. Judging from this speculation, this group of people may not be large in number.

However, it is unlikely that there is only one person, unless the patient comes out to find medicine himself.

Not many people come to this pharmacy, which is not surprising. There should be more than one pharmacy nearby. In addition, residents in urban areas usually have some spare medicines at home, so medicines are not rare items for them.

The trip to the pharmacy went quite smoothly. Everyone walked around inside and found some useful medicines. They kept two pills of each and stuffed them all into Wu Xiao's space.

In the end, everyone reaped a great harvest and walked out of the pharmacy to the next search point.

The hardware store is only a few meters away from the pharmacy, separated by a shop.

Since the disaster happened during business hours, the store door was not locked and the men were able to get in easily.

A wide variety of goods appeared before everyone.

The most excited person was Lu Yuning.

Materials, all materials.

After getting used to a life without materials, Lu Yuning's eyes lit up with excitement when he suddenly saw so many things.

If it weren't for their limited carrying capacity, Lu Yuning would even want to move all the things in the room back.

But it was just a thought. In the end, he would only pick some of the things here to take back. However, Lu Yuning planned to make a vehicle to transport goods.

When they go back, they will go downstream and do not need much power. All they need to do is get a special cargo boat and attach it to their ship.

Although there are many things in this store, what Lu Yuning needs more is materials, so regardless of the function of these things, just look at the manufacturing materials. With this room full of things, maybe they can upgrade and transform their ship.

In addition, the most important thing is some electrical components that he cannot make, such as light bulbs, relays, switches, etc.
