Seeing that the rotten part of the wound had stopped spreading and the small wounds on Qin Luzi's body showed signs of healing, Jin Xuyan let out a sigh of relief.
He fed his friend another fever medicine and more water before cutting off the rotten flesh, cleaning the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it. Then, he burned the used bandages and rotten flesh with his black flames.
Not long after, Zhang Yuan and the rest of the soldiers came over, looking at Qin Luzi with a hint of worry.
Noticing their gazes, Jin Xuyan said, "He will be fine. How about the others?"
"Captain, Xiao Qi already woke up, but the rest are still in a coma," Zhang Yuan replied.
"Carry them into the armored vehicle first and assign someone to take care of them. Make sure to give them water once in a while and feed them fever medicine," Jin Xuyan instructed.
"Understood."
"The rest of you, load the supplies into the armored vehicles and trucks. Prioritize medicine, water, staples, energy drinks, protein bars, and food with long shelf lives. Also, try to find more empty barrels and get as much gasoline as you can," he added.
The soldiers nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."
Jin Xuyan waved his hand, and they went off to complete their tasks. Before leaving, Zhang Yuan carried Qin Luzi on his back and walked toward the armored vehicle.
Feeling tired and hungry, Jin Xuyan stood up and walked to the mini-market to find some food. Thinking about the person he would meet soon, he headed to his armored vehicle to get his black military tactical backpack.
His backpack was a 96L size and could hold quite a lot of items. Besides weapons, ammunition, and first aid box, he emptied out the rest of the contents and stored them in the hidden compartment under the passenger seat.
Afterward, he went to the mini-market and filled his backpack with compressed biscuits, protein bars, energy drinks, mineral water, two bags of caramel candies, two boxes of chocolate, and medicine for wounds, flu, and fever.
As he walked past the women's products section, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to grab a few boxes of period balms, a few boxes of menstrual cups, five packs of night-use sanitary pads, a few sets of reusable menstrual underwear, and a lot of pain relievers.
While packing these items into his backpack, one of the soldiers, who was transporting the supplies, saw him and looked at his captain with wide eyes. Although he was curious as to why his captain was gathering those supplies, he didn't dare to ask.
After he finished packing the items, Jin Xuyan raised his head and met his soldier's gaze. Carrying the backpack, he said casually, "Pads can be used as gauze in an emergency. Inform the others to restock their supplies and fill their backpacks."
The soldier's eyes flashed with understanding. Using pads as gauze was uncommon, but it was indeed a good way to cover wounds in an emergency. Their absorption was excellent.
"Yes, Captain," the soldier nodded and quickly went to relay the order.
After the soldier left, Jin Xuyan let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was quick-witted—otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself in front of his subordinates.
He walked around the mini-market, gathering other daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap bars, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers. As he filled his backpack, memories of that person surfaced in his mind.
At this time, only Zhang Yuan, who was driving, and Qin Luzi, who was still unconscious in the back seat, accompanied him in his armored vehicle.
While driving, Zhang Yuan glanced at his captain and asked, "Captain, are we really going to Lin'an University just to pick up the Pei family's heir?"
Jin Xuyan didn't lift his eyes from the map in his hand and replied, "Zhang Yuan, keep your eyes on the road."
The moment he finished speaking, the vehicle hit a zombie with a loud thud.
Thud! Crack!
With the sound of bones breaking, black blood and rotten flesh splattered across the windshield. Thanks to the reinforced design of the car, they barely felt the impact, but the sight of the rotten mess in front of them was disgusting.
Seeing the stained windshield, Zhang Yuan quickly turned on the wipers. Though they couldn't clean it entirely, they removed some of the rotten flesh and black blood.
"Don't hit zombies unless it's necessary," Jin Xuyan reminded him.
"Understood," Zhang Yuan replied, keeping his eyes firmly on the road.
The closer they got to Lin'an University, the more zombies they encountered and the more vehicles blocked the road. Looking at the congestion ahead, Zhang Yuan said, "Captain, the road is blocked. We need to find another path."
