Chapter 28 - 27: A Night Tour of the Factory
Lin Wu’s shouting woke everyone up, and it wasn’t his fault. When they heard that Maya had a fever, it was hard for them to believe. Tangtang was incredulous, his voice breaking, "A fever?" It was unbelievable, incomprehensible, and beyond reason.
"Go lie down in the infirmary," Stone said. "We have quite a bit of medical supplies, but we can’t produce any finished medicines. We need to figure out a way to get a doctor." There were cloth strips, alcohol, and by hand, one could make bandages, which could be tied around wounds to remove the bleeding status. But bandages could not be stored, and the alcohol would evaporate quickly.
Lin Wu said, "Keep it up, Stone."
Stone asked, "Why are you telling me to keep it up?"
Lin Wu spread his hands, "You’re the Boss, as well as the part-time HR manager. If the base has no doctor, who do you think should be blamed? Should we blame me for not scavenging a doctor, or blame Su Shi for not synthesizing one?"
Su Shi nodded, feeling that what Lin Wu said made a lot of sense, and high-fived him cheerfully.
Stone said helplessly, "Alright, I’ll step it up."
For Boss Stone, the good news was that the factory had a lot of building materials, and tomorrow Bai Ban driving out could mean a major construction effort. The bad news was that every time they built or demolished a facility, the threat level of the base would increase. Today they had taken the mountaintop church, withstanding the fierce onslaught of the zombie tide, but today no Frenzied had appeared. Even the presence of one Frenzy during the assault could mean all nine people from the two bases would’ve been lost at the mountaintop church.
Additionally, the living conditions in the church were poor, with no water source and no electricity. These two factors didn’t affect the players’ survival, but they had a significant impact on the players’ morale. Especially the lack of electricity, which made the mountaintop church spooky and terrifying at night, like a haunted house. Moreover, many facilities needed water and electricity to be built.
