Chapter 401 - Surprise
In the morning, Osborne went to the medicinal ingredients warehouse to inspect as usual.
He noticed a big truck parked at the entrance of the warehouse.
Several members of the Scavenger Army were helping to move the big boxes from the truck.
The big boxes were piled at the entrance of the warehouse, taking up a lot of space.
Osborne frowned and walked up, asking, “What’s with the truck? Where did these goods come from? Why are they piled in this warehouse? ”
“It’s Fang Heng. He said that part of the supplementary medicinal ingredients needed to make the potion has been used up, so he got a batch of them himself. ”
Osborne was stunned when he heard that.
“Used up? So fast? How? Did he eat the medicinal ingredients for his meal? ” Osborne was puzzled as he thought.
Just then, he saw Roche coming over with a group of Scavenger Army NPCs not far away.
“Roche? ”
“Osborne, is Fang Heng in your warehouse? ” Roche looked into the warehouse and said, “I’m looking for him. He said he would give me a surprise today. ”
“Yeah, I’m looking for him too. ” Osborne nodded.
While the two conversed, a guard hurried over from the side. He whispered into Osborne’s ear and told him in detail about Fang Heng summoning the zombie team in the warehouse last night.
“Zombie Recruitment? Fang Heng’s special ability? The guards didn’t guard the warehouse last night? ” Osborne frowned as questions filled his mind. “Fang Heng’s really a worrisome fellow! ”
Just then, another truck full of medicinal ingredients drove over from a distance and stopped outside the warehouse.
“Hi, Roche, Osborne. ” Fang Heng jumped down from the truck and waved at the two of them.
Osborne asked in a deep voice, “Fang Heng, what’s with these medicinal ingredients? I heard that you used up the medicinal ingredients in the warehouse? ”
“Indeed, there weren’t enough medicinal ingredients. In the end, we still lacked a type of supplementary medicinal ingredient, so we had no choice but to stop the potion production. ” Fang Heng’s tone carried some regret.
Osborne was even more puzzled. He felt that Fang Heng wasn’t telling the truth. “These medicinal ingredients were all obtained by you alone? ”
“Of course. It took me quite a bit of effort. ”
“Hmph! ” Roche snorted heavily, interrupting the conversation. His patience had already been worn to the limit. “You two, let’s talk about these details later. Fang Heng, where’s the surprise you promised me? ”
“It’s ready. Please follow me, Roche, ” Fang Heng said as he took the lead and walked toward the warehouse at the back.
Osborne and Roche followed him into the warehouse.
The former was stunned when he saw the scene in the warehouse.
In the warehouse, a few potioneers who were originally in charge of making potions looked exhausted as they busily sorted the ingredients for the making the warlord potion.
Boxes of finished products of the warlord potion were packed at the edge of the warehouse.
“What’s going on? It’s only been one night. When did so many finished products of the warlord potion become available? Is it really as Fang Heng said? Have all the medicinal ingredients in the warehouse been used up and made into potions? ” Osborne inwardly thought in shock.
Roche was also shocked, and joy flashed across his face. “Fang Heng, you said that these potions are all warlord potions? ”
“They’re the real deal. ”
Osborne couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Heng. “You made them alone? ”
Fang Heng had a smile on his face, and he pointed at the potioneers who were living a life worse than death.
“It’s not just me. They helped me a lot. ”
Osborne turned his head to look at the potioneers.
The potioneer NPCs each revealed a smile that was uglier than a crying face.
“How did he do it? It’s impossible to complete so many potions in one night even with the help of other people! ” mused Osborne.
He was very clear about the standards of the potioneers present. It was already extraordinary for them to complete 50 bottles in a day. 1000 bottles of potions were a tall order for them even if he threatened their lives.
“Could there be a problem with the potions? ! ” Osborne realized the possibility, and his heart skipped a beat.
Face darkened, he walked to a filled box at the side and picked up a bottle of potion to examine.
As he opened the bottle cap, a familiar smell entered his nose.
Osborne took a small sip.
“Huh? There’s no problem with the potion. It’s indeed an E-grade warlord potion! The quality’s not considered high, but it’s definitely decent! Still… How can this be? How could he produce so many decent products in one night? ”
Osborne picked up another bottle and yet another bottle, both of which were decent products.
He took a few steps to the side, opened another box, and took out a bottle.
It was also a decent product!
The situation before Osborne was beyond his understanding.
Reason told him that there was definitely a problem with the products that had been produced in such large quantities overnight. However, he couldn’t figure out the problem.
Osborne’s expression was a little scary.
Roche looked at Osborne checking the boxes one by one and could not help but walk to Osborne’s side. “After checking for so long, how is it? Are the potions considered decent enough? ”
Osborne stopped his movement and remained silent. He turned around to look at Fang Heng.
“Damn it! Speak! ” Upon seeing that Osborne was dawdling and not speaking, Roche felt anger rise in his heart. He could not hold it in any longer. Without saying anything, he casually picked up a bottle of warlord potion from the box and poured it into his mouth.
As the potion flowed into his mouth, a familiar coolness flowed through his body. It was as refreshing as drinking a big mouthful of bubbly ice cola on a hot day!
Bang!
Roche crushed the bottle in his hand by exerting a little strength. “Hahaha! It’s really a warlord potion! ”
He turned back to look at Fang Heng, his eyes burning. “Good, Fang Heng! You didn’t disappoint me! Your contribution to this mission will not be forgotten! ”
“Thank you for your trust. ” Fang Heng smiled and nodded to Roche.
Osborne recounted the boxes piled up in the warehouse with an incredulous expression.
There were thousands of bottles of warlord potions in the warehouse!
“How did he make this many overnight? It’s theoretically impossible! ” Osborne wondered.
He then looked at Fang Heng, “Fang Heng, how did you do it? ”
“In the apocalyptic world, people like us have to have some skills to survive, don’t we? ” Fang Heng said and gestured to the potioneers in the room with his eyes. “I will continue to make more warlord potions. I’ll be temporarily commanding them. They can help me. ”
“Sure, ” Osborne immediately agreed to Fang Heng’s request. His initial shock and disbelief turned into ecstasy.
No matter how Fang Heng did it, he was definitely a genius in potion making!
With such efficiency in producing potions, the Scavenger Army would be able to supply warlord potions to the few areas near Edge Creek Town. The biggest problem that Scavenger Army had been facing could then be considered solved!
More importantly, Fang Heng actually had a way to procure a large amount of medicinal ingredients!
