"Miss Wei, regarding the medical supplies, the factory does have some, but it's only basic items like band-aids, as for other antibiotics..." Lin Junfu shook his head, thinking that if the factory had medicine, he wouldn't be in such a dire situation himself: "So, in terms of treatment, Miss Wei, we might have to rely on isolation and hope for the patient's own antibodies to handle the virus."

Wei Yang furrowed her brows slightly, feeling discouraged.

Of course she hoped the patients could heal themselves, but she had just observed the conditions of the women downstairs, and the insufficient supplies over the past month had left them severely malnourished.

And these ordinary women's conditions are already this bad, let alone those patients in isolation.

So...

"Lin manager, the workers in the factory are too weak physically, relying solely on their current health to fight off the virus is very difficult, we must find a way to obtain antibiotics and other relevant medicines. Are there any hospitals or pharmacies near this area?" Wei Yang asked unwillingly.

It's obvious the place the girl wanted to know was the very place Lin Junfu had been trying to avoid, especially after Tang Xiaoquan mentioned the field harvesting plan; he was even more reluctant to think about the village. As for the reason, it's quite simple, he didn't want a tragedy to repeat.

However, the girl's mention once again forced Lin Junfu to...

"Sorry, Miss Wei, there's no hospital in this remote area, but there is a small health and epidemic prevention station. Just that it's located in the village. Given the failed attempts before, I personally do not recommend risking going there. Let's not forget, our current most important task is to gather manpower to quickly harvest the rice to solve our food shortage problem!"

Indeed, ginger gets spicier as it ages, Lin Junfu's simple words not only truthfully answered Wei Yang's question but also perfectly shut down any requests she might have had.

However, he failed to account for an unexpected factor in the room, and that factor was...

"Lin manager, a question, if I estimate correctly, the factory should have two scythes, right?"

Inexplicably nodding, Lin Junfu raised his eyebrows to look at the thin young man in front, subsequently affirming without saying yes or no: "That's right, there are indeed two scythes, both are with Dazhuang, why, is there a problem?"

"Yes!" Tang Xiaoquan replied immediately without pausing: "There is a very big problem!"

"How so?"

"Lin manager, you also mentioned that our current main task is harvesting rice, although you can do it by hand, in terms of efficiency... considering our current situation and the possibly changing weather conditions, I think our first task should be resolving the issue of tools."

"What are you saying?" Seemingly sensing something unfavorable, Lin Junfu's face turned somewhat unsightly.

"Go to the village!" Predictably, Tang Xiaoquan straightforwardly gave his answer, and he also explained: "There should be scythes in every household in the village, gathering them shouldn't take too much effort, so we can also collect other usable goods at the time. Moreover, we can visit the health station. Solve the need for antibiotics and medicines that Wei Yang mentioned."

Subconsciously glancing at Wei Yang, the girl was also gazing at him with bright eyes.

This embarrassed Tang Xiaoquan, making him blush, he immediately shifted his gaze and said seriously: "So, Lin manager, how do you see my suggestion?"

Without a doubt, from the young person's plan itself, it could be seen as killing three birds with one stone, but in terms of feasibility, Lin Junfu had to pour cold water: "Tang, your method is indeed good, cost-effective! However, you know, we've sent teams to get supplies from the village before, but in the end..."

It's hard to recall how many times Lin Junfu had mentioned such regrettable events in front of everyone, and although Tang Xiaoquan also understood his cautious and worried feelings, every situation must be approached with priority and urgency.

Without a doubt, if you stay put and don't go anywhere, that's indeed the safest, with no risks at all! But does that solve the problem of survival? The answer is obviously no, so despite the difficulties we face, we must take the risk.

Because if we continue to sit and wait, hesitate, then the only thing awaiting us is a dead-end.

"Without entering the tiger's den, how can you capture the tiger's cub! Risks and benefits coexist! Lin manager, entering the village certainly carries inevitable risks, to be accurate, as soon as we step out of this walled factory, there's no guarantee of safety. But you must consider the benefits after facing the risks. If everything goes well, the patient's condition could improve; the harvesting efficiency will increase; most importantly, confidence, we need to give the staff here confidence to overcome the zombies! Let them understand, those creatures are not as terrifying as imagined!"

Sitting there dumbfounded, Lin Junfu looked at Tang Xiaoquan with a very peculiar expression.

There's no doubt he was convinced by the young man's eloquent reasoning, but he was surprised that such words could come from someone just over twenty years old.

The old saying came to mind, the waves of the Yangtze River push forward, the front waves crash on the sand!

"Alright!" At this point, if Lin Junfu didn't agree, it would seem rather unreasonable: "Let's go with Tang's suggestion, we'll first step into the village!"

With a general direction, the group proceeded to discuss the details of various actions.

From personnel composition, to team allocation; from vehicle selection, to weaponry; refined to points, responsibility to individuals; after half an hour of intense discussion, a detailed action plan was formed.

The sunlight outside had reached its most intense noon hour, the scorching heat left the survivors, who've been holed up in the manager's room most of the day, drenched in sweat, looking like waterlogged people.

If they could take a thorough hot shower, that would undoubtedly be an extremely blissful moment.

Thus, after finishing the discussion, Wang Qiang, who was always straightforward, bluntly expressed his wish: "Lin manager, can we take a shower here? It's been almost a day since we haven't showered since yesterday, can we..."

Pressing his palms together with force, Lin Junfu mused for a moment, then stood up: "Alright, follow me!"

With that, he walked out of the room himself, just when he left, Tang Xiaoquan noticed a fleeting wrinkle on his face, sensing something unusual...
