Chapter 175: A Small Test

Lin Chen had just sat on the sofa with Xia Nuan for a while when the communicator suddenly rang.

It was Zhao Feng's emergency message: "Lin Chen, come to the abandoned hospital in the west of the city quickly.

We met the Iron Hand Group, and because of the ownership of the medicine inside, we started arguing,

and we might start fighting at any time." Lin Chen stood up immediately, picked up the Ice Blade and Purple Lightning Purification Gun: "Xia Nuan,

you stay in the base to look after Tuan Tuan, I'll go handle it." Xia Nuan shook her head: "I'll go with you,

more people mean more help." Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and the two quickly drove the off-road vehicle to the abandoned hospital.

Arriving at the hospital entrance, the Starfire Mercenary Group and the Iron Hand Group were already at daggers drawn—Starfire had five people,

the Iron Hand Group had seven, and several boxes full of medicine were placed on the ground between the two sides.

Zhao Feng saw Lin Chen come and breathed a sigh of relief: "Lin Chen, it's good that you're here. The Iron Hand Group said they discovered this hospital first and the medicine should belong to them, but we had already planned to collect medicine here today."

The leader of the Iron Hand Group was Lin Hao, whom he had seen before. Seeing Lin Chen,

he said arrogantly: "It's you again? I warn you, this hospital and the medicine are all ours, the Iron Hand Group's.

If you are sensible, take your people and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"

Lin Chen said coldly: "The hospital is ownerless land, and whoever gets the medicine first counts.

On what basis do you say it's yours?" Lin Hao was choked, then took out a dagger: "Just because our Iron Hand Group has more people! We want this medicine today!"

The two sides were deadlocked, and neither would back down.

Zhao Feng whispered to Lin Chen: "There is still quite a lot of medicine inside that hasn't been moved out.

We can't give it to them. This medicine can save many survivors." Lin Chen nodded,

and said to Lin Hao: "How about this, we each move half of the medicine, neither side takes advantage of the other,

how about that?" Lin Hao disagreed: "No! Either give it all to us, or have a fight, and whoever wins gets it!"

Just at this time, several ordinary zombies suddenly rushed out of the hospital, rushing towards both sides.

Lin Chen and Zhao Feng immediately took action and solved the zombies; the Iron Hand Group members were flustered,

and two of them were almost scratched by zombies. Lin Chen took the opportunity to say: "Now is not the time to argue,

let's clear the zombies in the hospital together first, then divide the medicine." Lin Hao was reluctant, but also knew the threat of zombies, so he could only nod in agreement.

Both sides entered the hospital together. Lin Chen and Zhao Feng were responsible for clearing zombies,

while the Iron Hand Group members took the opportunity to move medicine. Lin Chen watched from the sidelines and didn't say much—as long as they could get part of the medicine,

it wouldn't be a loss. After clearing the zombies, both sides divided the medicine, and the Iron Hand Group members left in a hurry with the medicine.

Before leaving, Lin Hao didn't forget to leave a harsh word: "If we meet again next time, it won't be so easy to talk!"

After handling the hospital matter, it was already dusk. Lin Chen saw Xia Nuan running around all day,

feeling a bit distressed: "Take you to a place to eat something good." He drove the off-road vehicle,

and took Xia Nuan to the abandoned restaurant he discovered before—the kitchen inside could still be used, and he had specifically asked the guards to store some ingredients there before.

Lin Chen walked into the kitchen and started to get busy, while Xia Nuan helped on the side.

Soon, dishes were served one after another: braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, sauce beef, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, stewed chicken soup, fried meatballs, tofu soup, cold-mixed wood ear, spicy chicken, preserved vegetable pork, tomato scrambled eggs, a total of 12 hard dishes,

and a pot of white rice and a pot of century egg and lean meat porridge were also placed on the side.

"So many dishes,

we two can't finish them, right?"

Xia Nuan said with a smile. Lin Chen was just about to answer when he suddenly heard movement at the restaurant entrance,

and looking back, it was several guards from the base who had followed Lin Chen's car, wanting to help but not daring to disturb.

"You guys come in and eat together." Lin Chen waved and said.

Several guards were stunned for a moment, then walked in, seeing the full table of dishes, and showed surprised expressions one after another—it was the first time they had eaten such a sumptuous meal in the apocalypse.

"Brother Lin Chen, you are too polite, how can we be embarrassed to eat your dishes?"

A guard said embarrassedly. Lin Chen waved his hand: "Everyone is family,

don't be polite, sit down quickly." Xia Nuan also said with a smile: "Yes, eating together is lively."

Several guards didn't push anymore, sat down, but didn't dare to move their chopsticks much, only carefully picking the dishes in front of them.

Lin Chen saw their restraint and took the initiative to pick dishes for them: "Eat more,

these dishes are enough for us to eat." Everyone gradually relaxed, chatting about things in the base while eating,

the atmosphere lively and warm. The century egg and lean meat porridge was soft and tasty, the white rice was distinct, and the 12 hard dishes were each appetizing.

After the meal, several guards took the initiative to help clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and Lin Chen and Xia Nuan sat in the restaurant to rest.

"Although we had friction with the Iron Hand Group today, we got the medicine,

and had such a sumptuous meal, which is not bad." Xia Nuan said.

Lin Chen nodded, held her hand: "In the future, as long as there is a chance, I will take you to eat more delicious food." Several guards came over to thank Lin Chen after cleaning up,

and then returned to the base first. Lin Chen and Xia Nuan sat for a while longer before driving the off-road vehicle away, driving towards the base. ===== CHAPTER 176 =====
