Chapter 2658

After finishing their shopping at the supermarket, they visited the pharmacy next door. Zhu Yanyi was very interested in this place.

She looked at the medicines here. She put away some common drugs. She also put some representative ones into her Ruyi Space to study later. These pills from New Calendar 3085 seemed quite good. However, people here seemed to prefer Western medicine more.

"I looked around. I saw mostly Western medicine. I didn't see any Traditional Chinese Medicine. I wonder if TCM still exists in New Calendar 3085," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

"Let's walk and see," Yan Aohan said.

The medical situation here was indeed surprising. There was only Western medicine, no TCM. Had TCM really disappeared? Or did the Evil Buddha do something to make it vanish?

Thinking about the Evil Buddha's character, although he was destined to walk the evil path, he shouldn't hate TCM. But now, there was no TCM. This meant there might be unknown things happening here.

"Let's look around," Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi walked around again. They discovered something very big. There were no plants around. Not a single plant.

"No plants," Zhu Yanyi pondered. "TCM uses biological drugs. Animals and plants are very important. Especially plants. If used well, they are very safe. But now, it seems wrong. There are no plants here. So I understand why there is no TCM."

Without plants, where would the herbs come from? Without herbs, how could TCM work? Western medicine could use minerals or synthetic drugs instead. But TCM needed original biological materials, mostly plants. Without plants, even if you had a prescription, you had no medicine.

Yan Aohan noticed this too. "Let's look here a bit more. If we still find nothing, we will leave this town. There is nothing else here. Not even two zombie shadows."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. She listened to Yan Aohan.

The couple walked around the town. It felt like the town in Spirited Away. There was no one. Not even an animal. The only difference was that the town in Spirited Away was very clean. This town was desolate. Dust was everywhere. It looked very run-down.

"Let's go. Since there are no clues here, we will drive slowly. We will find what we need," Yan Aohan said to Zhu Yanyi.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard some sounds. Yan Aohan made a hand sign. He hid the couple and their car. People couldn't see them, but they could see who was coming.

A team of about ten people arrived.

"We should collect supplies in towns like this. It is safe," a young man with a ruffian look said.

"Ruffian, don't talk nonsense," another young man said. He looked upright. He seemed to be the team leader.

"Boss, the supermarket is here. I checked. Some things are missing. Passersby probably took them. But not much. Most are still here," a middle-aged man said. He looked honest.

"Stone, take Superman and Guomu to collect supplies. Ruffian, take Red Bull and Ginseng to look around. I will take Ali, Bread, and Dentist to check front and back," the leader ordered.

"Yes," the other nine people answered. They quickly split up to do their tasks.

Yan Aohan saw the situation in the supermarket. She said to Zhu Yanyi, "It seems Superman has a space ability."

Zhu Yanyi saw it too. The man called Superman touched the items. The items disappeared one by one. She must have stored them.

Zhu Yanyi said, "It seems the saying 'fiction comes from life' is absolutely true."

Yan Aohan laughed. "Why are you still thinking about that?"

"What else?" Zhu Yanyi looked helpless. "At this time, I can only think about such things."

Yan Aohan didn't mind her helplessness. she said, "Should we follow them to see?"

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "How about we stay invisible and follow them for a while? Once we know the situation here, we will appear."

Life in every world is different. Even if they saw some knowledge in magazines, it was not good to not see it with their own eyes. It was better to follow them for a few days, then decide how to appear.

Zhu Yanyi never thought she could handle everything perfectly right after entering the Evil Buddha's world. She was not in a hurry. She would take it slow.

Yan Aohan thought for a moment and nodded. "Let's do as you say. We will follow them first."

The leader, called Boss, saw the tasks were done smoothly. He called everyone back to a truck. He drove. Superman and Ali sat in front. Others sat in the back.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi drove behind them. They watched them enter a city.

This city was called a Safe Base. There were at least twenty or thirty such bases in this world. It was not few. Basically, survivors, whether ordinary people or ability users, lived here.

Ordinary people also had jobs here. But the jobs were low-level. For example, cleaning houses, cleaning streets, or being servants. The pay was one jin of grain and one 500ml bottle of water per day.

Ability users had higher status. Ordinary people could only live in tube-shaped apartments. Ability users could have their own villas. But they had to go on missions once a week. Each ability user could get five jin of grain and 3000ml of drinking water every day. Ability users were indeed very rich.

Of course, ability users could also use supplies to offset their missions.

In this Safe Base, the hierarchy was very clear. Those with ability lived well. Those without ability just struggled to survive.

But in this world, being able to survive was already amazing. No matter how you lived, it was good.
