"To be honest, I'm a little confused. Where did Alfonso get so many survival supplies? These things are so rare that they can't be seen on the market at all."
As a member of the resistance, Dania frowned and looked at a bottle of medicine with a simple label in her hand, which read a few lines of words in English: 'Montmorillonite Powder, Treats Diarrhea'.
Due to the cold weather, lack of clean drinking water and food, and the fact that Westerners are accustomed to drinking cold water, all these factors combined can easily cause diarrhea. Diarrhea is only a minor illness, but if it is not controlled, it can cause severe dehydration and death.
In the wasteland, more people die from various minor illnesses and disasters than from gunfire. People are often stumped by some ordinary problems. Fungal skin diseases, poisoning, inflammation, colds or diarrhea can all cause a healthy person to suffer.
into a state of death within a few days.
Lying next to Dania was her nephew, an orphan left by her dead brother. Two days ago, the child suddenly started to have severe diarrhea, his physical strength declined, and he lost the ability to take care of himself. Due to the lack of medicine, Dania felt that she was going to die.
Lose this relative.
But a bottle of inconspicuous medicine controlled the child's diarrhea. After adding hot water and liquid food, his condition began to improve. All this happened because the city of Merida entered the period of Alfonso's rule.
Governor Alfonso gained the love of the whole city within a few days. Everyone did not expect much, as long as their life was better. After the sales trucks became a topic that sparked the whole city, several pharmacies were reopened.
Once again, people in the city can feel what modern civilization is.
Although there are no particularly good medicines in the drugstore, there are not even qualified doctors. There are only a few dispensers who give some simple medicines based on the symptoms described by the patients. Moreover, the prices of the medicines are extremely expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
A tube of erythromycin ointment costs five gold coins.
A bottle of lice powder costs twelve gold coins.
A shot of tetanus vaccine cannot be purchased without fifty gold coins.
These drugs that were extremely cheap in the past are now extremely expensive, but people still try their best to buy them.
Dania put the 'Montmorillonite Powder' into a wooden box, locked it and hid it. This thing costs ten gold coins, but it can save lives in critical moments. In the room where she was, Uncle Ike was busy making dinner.
"Today's dinner is particularly rich, it's 'Supreme' instant noodles with marinated whale meat."
Foreigners' diet has always been simple. Those who know how to boil potatoes are masters of cooking, and those who know how to use condiments are god-like beings. Therefore, a well-prepared instant noodles will win unanimous praise from everyone.
Nowadays, instant noodles cooked with greasy whale meat have become an extremely luxurious delicacy. Looking at Uncle Ike’s cheerful smile, Dania complained depressedly, “No one ate this thing in the past.
It was absolutely unhealthy food, and now it has become an unbeatable meal."
The whale meat was cut into thin slices and cooked by blanching it in boiling water. Uncle Ike took a big bowl of noodles and fat meat, shook his head at Dania angrily, and said, "There's no one there at all."
Eat? You must know that not many people in this city can eat this food now.
In order to obtain enough food reserves, I sold all the honey currently in stock in the factory to the 'Aurora Corps'. You must know that after several months of non-stop work, there is now no honey in the Yucatan region, which is rich in honey.
, even the bees will die.”
"All sold to the 'Aurora Legion'?" Dania was surprised, "Is there even no inventory left?"
"No more, empty them all." Uncle Ike blew on the noodles and stuffed a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth. The greasy fat meat brought great satisfaction to people who have been hungry for a long time. After he quickly ate a big bowl,
Hehe said happily: "Although the honey is gone, I can still do something else."
"But if you can't supply honey to North America, won't the headquarters reprimand you?" Dania asked.
"Do you think those executives at the headquarters are all idiots? They have already heard about the situation in Merida. I guess Lula of the Gendarmerie has already sent countless telegrams to report the situation here.
But so what? The reason why the headquarters sent us here is just to search for our respective supplies. As long as we complete this task. For example, if the 'Aurora Legion' is short of coal, we will get them coal in exchange for medicine.
You have to know that there is an extreme shortage of medicines in North America. Many people, like your nephew, are facing death threats due to some minor problems. The only ones with large reserves of medicines are the Aurora Corps, who once destroyed the entire state of Florida before the nuclear bomb attack.
It was ransacked and basically everything was missing.”
But Cadonia shook her head, "I always feel that something is wrong. There is no doubt that the 'Aurora Legion' has obtained a lot of things from Florida, but it is too strange to say that their supplies are so rich that they can sell them at will."
"Then how do you explain where Governor Alfonso obtained a large amount of medicine from the Aurora Legion?" Uncle Ike said this, his tone lowered, and he approached Dania and said: "I went to meet Governor Alfonso in person yesterday, and used
More than 20 tons of honey in stock were exchanged for a total of 50,000 atropine injections.
Alfonso was very satisfied with the sale and specially gave me several boxes of instant noodles and a hundred kilograms of marinated whale meat.
Atropine is an emergency drug. Before the pharmaceutical factory recovers, it can only rely on inventory. Now it is necessary to rebuild a chemical pharmaceutical factory. Extracting atropine from the almost extinct belladonna is a dream, so the atropine in stock is classified as a first-class material, and only 'Ink
Lei' can only be used by internal personnel.
Doctors in the city confirmed that the 50,000 atropine tubes were genuine. When I reported to the headquarters that I had obtained 50,000 atropine tubes, the bureaucrats actually said they would reward me because the emergency medicine is currently in extreme shortage."
Really? It sounds like a good deal. But Dania fell silent after hearing this. The production of honey has always been subject to various restrictions, and natural honey is an excellent nutritional supplement. More than 20 tons of honey were consumed before the catastrophe.
It's worth a lot of money, and now it's even more valuable than gold.
But the 'Aurora Legion' exchanged all the honey for 50,000 pieces of atropine, and the 'Enclave' headquarters expressed joy over this. You must know that atropine tablets were extremely cheap before the catastrophe, with a bottle of 100 tablets.
Probably about a dollar, and that's the retail price.
"Why do I always feel that we are not the ones taking advantage? Even if we get a lot of food as gifts." Dania has the carefulness and intuition of a woman, "But there is no doubt that the 'Aurora Legion' is willing to do anything to get the materials they need.
It would be good for us to sell a lot of stuff that we desperately need, and we should take advantage of that Alfonso."
"Danya, what do you want to do again?" Uncle Ike had a headache for his companion, who always did some inexplicable things impulsively.
"We should establish a good relationship with the 'Aurora Legion' and seek their support. It is best to obtain weapons and equipment, as well as various logistical supplies. We should re-establish our own armed forces and resist the 'Enclave'." Dania
Suddenly he became ambitious, "We should have our own power and build our own country."
Uncle Ike was stunned for a moment, sighed and asked: "Danya, can't you still forget your brother's dream?"
Dania suddenly felt like a cat that had stepped on its tail, scolding in a sharp voice: "How could I forget? We were originally the California Liberty Alliance, and my brother was the chairman of the alliance. We could have established a state in California, because of the evil intentions of the 'Enclave'
annexed us.
Of the fifty states in the United States, only California and Texas have the best economies. The other states are garbage. Even New York is just a bunch of Jewish vampires. We should become the independent Republic of California and ally with the Republic of Texas instead of messing with other states.
Together, those are drags, meaningless drags."
Seeing Dania's excited shouting, Uncle Ike, who was originally happy, could only sigh. The originally perfect dinner atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
