Doomsday Plan Special Envoy

"There's nothing wrong with my health."

Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.

According to the medical examination report, the long hours spent working in the Arctic Circle have had some effects. The accumulation of minor muscle damage has led to inflammation, which is why I feel sore all over.

However, this level of discomfort is nothing to worry about. It's like a male college student experiencing leg pain the day after running a kilometer; some medicine will do the trick.

Jiang Yan went downstairs and into the hospital's convenient pharmacy, where he needed to buy some medicine.

It's fine to buy several boxes of common cold medicine, topical medications, and vitamins at once, but it's absolutely forbidden to buy and stockpile large quantities of antibiotics, painkillers, and medications for lowering blood pressure and blood sugar.

Offline hospitals and pharmacies all have prescription detection systems. Abnormal prescriptions will trigger an automatic alert, and then the health department, public security bureau, and drug administration will come to investigate.

Online, if you buy too much at once, they definitely won't allow you to ship it.

At best, they'll refuse to sell; at worst, they'll summon you for a talk.

This kind of supervision is hard to evade with "clever tricks." Buying in separate places or using other people's ID cards to buy on your behalf is useless; it's easy to find out if there's a connection.

It's not that we lack the ability to investigate; it's that the need for investigation hasn't arisen yet.

Jiang Yan opened his phone's notes app, which contained his notes on preparing the medication.

The timeline and culture of this world are no different from his own Earth, so he can refer to his original social experience for these things.

Drug stockpiling prioritizes broad-spectrum and multi-purpose drugs, following the order of trauma > infection > gastrointestinal > pain > allergies > respiratory tract.

Ideally, it should be taken orally, but topical application is also acceptable; injections are definitely not an option.

On the one hand, buying and selling are difficult because they require qualifications, and injections also require a sterile environment, which is very troublesome.

Over-the-counter medications such as antipyretics, antidiarrheals, rehydration salts, and wound care products are readily available and can be stored for two months' worth.

Cold medicine, ibuprofen, and montmorillonite powder are basically the most commonly used drugs after the apocalypse.

For external injuries, you'll need hemostatic bandages, sterile gauze, iodine swabs, disinfectant alcohol, and topical anti-infective medications, such as mupirocin ointment and erythromycin ointment.

Regarding coping with the apocalypse, external wound infection may be the most easily overlooked fatal factor.

In a chaotic environment, it is very easy to bump into and get injured, and with the hot weather, infection can easily occur if you are not careful.

In a post-apocalyptic world with inadequate medical care, infection and fever are almost always fatal, as the human immune system simply cannot withstand it.

Secondly, there are oral broad-spectrum antibiotics, which Jiang Yan strives to cover all types of infections.

Oral antibiotics are all prescription drugs and cannot be stockpiled; he can only buy them in small quantities.

"Wow, you bought so much? What are you going to do with this?" The manager of the convenience pharmacy was a middle-aged woman wearing reading glasses. She took Jiang Yan's list of medicines and was immediately surprised.

"I'm an instructor at a wilderness survival training camp. I'll be leading a group of people camping in the mountains in a few days, so I definitely need to stock up on all these medicines, right?"

Jiang Yan handed over the qualification certificates he had prepared, which were some photos that existed on his phone in his original timeline.

Wilderness survival isn't just about running into the mountains in your underwear; it also requires a lot of money in other aspects. If he doesn't have money normally, he'll work as a licensed instructor at some training camps.

Therefore, they can definitely produce some qualification certificates, as well as some group photos from wilderness survival camps, which should be enough to dispel the pharmacist's doubts.

He knew that none of the items on the list were against regulations, so the pharmacist would at most have some suspicions, but wouldn't actually check whether the training camp and license existed.

This reason is sufficient and convincing enough.

As for reasons like "doomsday stockpiling," "WeChat purchasing agent," or "buying for a friend," if you dare to say those, you can go to jail and explain yourself slowly.

"Wilderness survival training? Okay, you're here to buy things, right?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and carefully looked at the list. There weren't any particularly noteworthy medications on it. The quantity purchased exceeded his personal needs, but it wasn't excessive.

It was far from violating hospital regulations, so she didn't bother to report it and simply signed off on the medications.

"Okay, there's quite a lot here. Go pay first, and I'll have someone take you to the warehouse to collect it."

Jiang Yan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go pay."

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise: we found out where the pharmacy's upstream warehouse was located.

We can come back after the apocalypse and get some medicine that we can't get normally.

He did want some potent life-saving drugs like "adrenaline pens," "levofloxacin injections," and "fentanyl," but how could ordinary people possibly obtain them?

Some injections are so potent that if they leave the hospital grounds, the hospital director will explode on the spot, and he can only get his hands on them after the apocalypse.

Jiang Yan followed the nurse to get a small trolley and headed to a detached building behind the hospital's inpatient department.

Pharmacy.

There are three or four security cameras pointing directly at the building, and there are security guards at the only exit. You definitely can't get the medicine without proper permits.

Soon, the nurse took out all the medicines he had bought and put them on the cart, filling it completely.

Jiang Yan pushed the cart to the hospital entrance and stood at the intersection watching the cars come and go, feeling a bit of a headache.

It's really too much trouble not having your own car when stockpiling supplies.

It's not that I don't have money; renting a small pickup truck doesn't cost much at all.

The main problem is that I don't have a driver's license.

He certainly wouldn't bring his domestic driver's license to the Arctic Circle, so there are no relevant documents in his backpack right now.

Even if it existed, it wouldn't work in this city in a parallel universe; it would cause trouble if you encountered a traffic police checkpoint.

Left with no other option, I had to continue taking taxis.

The city was unfamiliar to him, so he didn't want to get involved with too many people before the end of the world.

Just take care of his savior first.

It was already noon when they returned to the dock. Uncle Jiang and his four porters had already completed about half of the work.

Jiang Yan casually ordered 10 boxed meals, then told several porters to take the pharmacy to the ship first.

These things must not be exposed to sunlight at all; they must be quickly moved to a cool, shady place for storage.

Uncle Jiang was working with the porters nearby, while Jiang Yan walked up to Captain Zhang and asked, "Captain, have you eaten yet? I ordered a boxed lunch, want to grab some together later?"

"That works too. My wife's not here right now, and I was just thinking of having a simple fish and rice meal for lunch," the captain replied with a smile.

Jiang Yan then added, "This ship can be loaded with oil today. My friends and the captain and sailors I've hired will be here tomorrow. We're planning to take it out for a couple of rounds and see the surrounding seascape."

The captain naturally had no objection: "Of course you can. You rented the boat, so you don't need to ask me about these things."

Jiang Yan nodded.

He plans to find a shipping team today to appease the captain and get the ship sailing away tomorrow.

It's best to do the modifications elsewhere; doing this at Hope Dock would probably upset the captain.

Moreover, he needs to practice in real-world conditions. He doesn't have to become a boat god on Mount Akina immediately, but he should at least be familiar with all the operations of sailing a boat.

Although he had learned some boat-driving skills, it was probably not an easy task for him to drive such a large boat by himself.

You need to learn and practice more.
