What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

As a result, the awakening had only been stable for a few days when the people at the base who were researching how to eat the exotic plants failed to figure out how to eat them. Instead, they discovered that these exotic plants had medicinal properties and even started recruiting people from within the base to practice traditional Chinese medicine.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang could no longer sit still and immediately went to register.

His professional competence goes without saying! Of course, he easily passed the selection and successfully entered the research institute, along with three other students.

He doesn't force students to choose their paths. In this new era, traditional Chinese medicine has become a new path. He welcomes those who are willing to explore with him, and he also supports those who want to try other paths.

People who have survived the apocalypse to this day are unlikely to be suicidal. He just wants everyone to be alright. Being able to live together in the apocalypse and get together occasionally is already incredibly lucky.

After catching his breath, Old Zhang smiled and thanked Sheng Xue. Then he pulled Sheng Xue aside and analyzed with her the effects of the roots of the exotic plant he had just eaten. Although it was poisonous, if used properly, it could treat many diseases!

He was a master in the field of traditional Chinese medicine before the apocalypse. He had a natural talent for traditional Chinese medicine since childhood. Now that he has awakened his plant-based superpowers, he is even more sensitive to these herbs. As long as he tastes them, he can roughly guess their medicinal effects.

He even had many prescriptions in his mind, as well as what diseases these herbs were suitable for treating. He felt that it was wonderful that he could awaken his superpowers, which would extend his lifespan several times over, and he would have hundreds of years to slowly figure things out.

Even in the apocalypse, even in a brand new beginning, traditional Chinese medicine will not decline. He is certain that traditional Chinese medicine will shine brightly throughout the entire interstellar space in the future.

He was too lazy to even complain. With the brains of those alien races on the StarNet, the potions they produced with their instruments were such a waste of their potency, it was a complete waste of resources, they were just a pile of rubbish!

Although fewer people in the base have gotten sick after gaining superpowers, new superpower-related diseases have also emerged. Therefore, most people still go to the hospital. The hospital has now opened a new Traditional Chinese Medicine department, but it is not officially open yet.

Traditional Chinese medicine was highly regarded before the end of the world, but in this era of exotic plants and mutations, they cannot be completely at ease. Even the TCM department itself has announced that it is still in the exploratory stage.

However, this is a good thing. Many exotic plants take their unpollinated offspring to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in exchange for some common currency. After research, Zhang Lao discovered that parts of some exotic beasts can also be used in medicine.

The beasts were quite cooperative, since it didn't affect their lives anyway, and they gave them some shed skin and some detached horns.

Elder Zhang and his students continued to research and compile new formulas, while Lu Yi also used some rare mutated plants to exchange for some medicinal seeds from the elders before the apocalypse.

Even during his escape, he didn't give up these seeds, carrying them with him and trying to plant them. However, all the seeds he grew were mutated, which saddened Old Zhang for a long time.

I once thought that traditional Chinese medicine might really be doomed to extinction in this era.

However, now that he has a new research direction in traditional Chinese medicine, he is not as dejected as he was at the beginning, and he generously handed over all these seeds to Lu Yize.

Their leader can produce so many normal grain seeds; perhaps these medicinal seeds will also yield good results in his hands? Then, both traditional and modern Chinese medicine prescriptions can be used simultaneously!

Old Zhang's anticipation for the future was almost overflowing with tears. He recently took in an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who had been supporting himself by doing tasks assigned by the base. Old Zhang discovered that the boy had a great talent for identifying herbs.

After further examination, I felt that this child was a good candidate for studying traditional Chinese medicine, and his special ability had just been awakened recently, and like me, he was also a plant-based one!

Old Zhang liked the child very much and asked him if he would like to learn traditional Chinese medicine from him. Old Zhang worked at the research institute and had a good salary. The house he was allocated was a large three-bedroom apartment.

This child has no stable source of income and is too young to do any heavy work, but because his appetite has become very large after he awakened his superpower, he is still struggling to make ends meet.

However, after hearing what Old Zhang said, the boy became wary and did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked a lot of questions and only after confirming that Old Zhang really had the skills did he purse his lips and say, "Okay."

The child was very cautious. He could only survive in this post-apocalyptic world by being careful, so he made a request: he hoped that someone from the base could witness the event to ensure its authenticity.

After hearing this, Old Zhang was not only not unhappy, but even thought the child was smart and meticulous! Very suitable for studying medicine!

"Of course! You wait here, I'll go find someone right now, and we'll get the relevant adoption documents done while we're at it, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Old Zhang was a man of action, and he immediately got to work. He used his connections to specially invite Chen Mingzhang, Sheng Xue, and Zheng Mu to be their witnesses to ensure that it was not a scam.

The child recognized these people; they were all very capable individuals at the base and of reliable character. Seeing this, the child breathed a sigh of relief and believed that the old professor was indeed not a fraud.

He was an extremely pragmatic person. Upon seeing this, he immediately knelt down and called out "Master." He wanted to learn skills, become powerful, and survive well in this apocalypse!

His parents risked their lives to save him, so he can't die so easily!

What Mr. Zhang admired most about this child was his tenacity, which was exactly like his own when he was young. The two completed the adoption procedures at the shelter, and Mr. Zhang moved into his home with the child that same day.

The child's name was Chu Tian. He didn't really like interacting with others, but since the teacher was his teacher, he didn't say much. He packed up his few belongings and went to Zhang's house.

When he arrived, he discovered that Old Zhang's house had two doors. Old Zhang smiled and handed him two keys. "I don't like living with other people, so I partitioned the house. Your one-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom room is enough for you. It's just not big, only about 40 square meters, but it's enough for one child like you."

"I live right next to you. You can come visit anytime you want. I've given you the key; just keep it safe and don't lose it."

Old Zhang's house has three bedrooms and one living room, and it's quite spacious, with an interior area of ​​about 130 square meters. He lives alone and doesn't need much space, so he simply partitioned off a small suite for this somewhat withdrawn child.

He himself wasn't greatly affected. He still had about 90 square meters of living space, and he lived alone, so he didn't need much space. 90 square meters was already more than enough for him.
