Xiao Mu casually inspected the energy fruits at the scene and felt that there was no issue with the quantity. Liu Yuan would never dare to deceive him about such a matter, especially since, as the head of the warehouse within a reasonable operational system, he did not possess that much authority.
In the warehouse, among various types of mutated fruits, the energy fruits were undoubtedly the most numerous. Meanwhile, other types of mutated fruits, such as healing fruits (which strictly speaking also belong to mutated fruits), were much fewer in quantity. The former totaled 46,597 pieces, while the latter had 31,964 pieces.
Beyond that, there were various types of mutated materials, including tea, grains, melons, fruits, vegetables, and other mutated materials.
"What about Magic treasures and Divine Treasures?"
Various mutated materials and supplies were not Xiao Mu's concern. He quickly brought up Magic treasures and Divine Treasures, which for the Great Tang ruins, were of importance only second to energy fruits and were also considered strategic resources.
"Group Leader Xiao, the Magic treasures are in a different area. I will take you there."
Liu Yuan took Xiao Mu to the treasure storage area. The number of Magic treasures in the Great Tang ruins was not small, but most of them were prepared for Variants in the Mortal Realm and were only suitable for their use.
While there were some suitable for Variants in the True Realm, like flying swords, on the one hand, their power was lower, and on the other hand, their numbers were few, which greatly disappointed Xiao Mu.
What especially disappointed Xiao Mu was the lack of Divine Treasures. In the warehouse of the Great Tang ruins, there were no Divine Treasures, not even fragments of Divine Treasures.
"It really is bereft of resources."
Xiao Mu sighed. He had long anticipated the poverty of the Great Tang ruins, but he couldn't help feeling emotional after inspecting the warehouse himself.
"So, you mean to say there isn't even a single possession of yours in reserve."
Xiao Mu turned to look at Liu Yuan, who helplessly shrugged and gave a bitter smile.
Whether it was Divine Treasures or fragments of Divine Treasures, or even possessions, these critical materials and treasures were scarce resources in the Great Tang ruins, let alone the entire headquarters. They were immediately taken by Mutated Beings upon availability, having no chance of remaining in the warehouse.
"Group Leader Xiao, would you like to take a look at the Secret Scrolls Area?"
Yu Ping suggested from the side.
The Secret Scrolls Area and the warehouse were not in the same area, nor were they managed by the same team; rather, it was another division managed by the Logistics Department.
"No need."
Xiao Mu was very familiar with the Secret Scrolls Area of the Great Tang ruins and knew that the strongest Secret Manuals there were only for Divine Spirits' cultivation, and most of them were related to cultivating Divine Powers, with very few related to authoritative cultivation.
"Let's end the inspection of resources here for today. Yu Ping, take me to the support group."
"Certainly, Group Leader Xiao. This way, please."
Yu Ping led Xiao Mu towards the support group.
The so-called support group included both the Medical Group and the Craftsmen Group. As the name implies, the Medical Group provided medical services for the injured, while the Craftsmen Group supplied Magic treasures and various types of auxiliary treasures for the front-line Mutated Beings.
Both groups were managed by the Logistics Department.
The Logistics Department had major functions at the Great Tang ruins, covering various aspects. In a sense, the power of Xiao Mu, the head of this department, could be said to be incredibly vast, with most of the ordinary workers at the Great Tang ruins under his management.
If Xiao Mu had been the head of the Logistics Department when he first met Yang Jun, he could have easily transferred the Yang siblings to the headquarters.
"Group Leader Xiao, take care."
The head of the warehouse group, Liu Yuan, saw Xiao Mu and Yu Ping off at the door, waving goodbye from the entrance.
Xiao Mu and Yu Ping left the warehouse area and first visited the Medical Group. The Medical Group of the Great Tang ruins consisted of special doctors who emerged after the World Mutation, primarily focusing on traditional Chinese medicine and mastering various peculiar medical techniques.
Among these, treating external injuries was only a small part; the majority dealt with various complicated and miscellaneous diseases, including treatments for curses.
Long ago, Xiao Mu had visited the support group and had seen the members of the Medical Group because a team member from the Task Group had been afflicted by a Curse Technique from the Curse Gate and needed rescue.
However, these were still only part of the functionalities of the Medical Group. Some special functions had not even been heard of by Xiao Mu.
It is said that some Divine Doctors could awaken the memories within bloodlines, helping Mutated Beings activate Ancient Bloodlines, inherit ancient legacies, and some Divine Doctors could aid Mutated Beings in further mutating, significantly enhancing their originally low aptitudes and acquiring even more astonishing cultivation abilities.
The Medical Group was large and somewhat similar to a secular hospital. As soon as he entered, Xiao Mu smelled a heavy presence of Death Qi in the courtyard.
Knock, knock!
In front of an office labeled "Director's Office," Yu Ping reached out to knock on the door.
"Is that you, Brother Yu? What brings you here today?"
The middle-aged man in the director's office stood up unexpectedly, his face quickly filled with a smile as he politely greeted Yu Ping.
"Director Shen, I've brought Chief Xiao over for a visit. This is the newly-appointed logistics department chief, Xiao Mu. Chief Xiao, this is Shen You, the director of the Medical Group."
Yu Ping introduced Xiao Mu and Director Shen to each other.
"Chief Xiao, I've long admired your reputation. I didn't expect you would come to our Logistics Department. It's indeed a pleasure to meet you." Shen You's face showed delight as he hurriedly came around his desk to shake hands with Xiao Mu.
"Director Shen, hello," Xiao Mu said as he shook hands with the other.
"Director Shen, Chief Xiao would like to understand more about the Medical Department. Please, tell us about your situation," Yu Ping reminded Shen You.
"Chief Xiao, the majority of our Medical Group members primarily cultivate the Sacred Power. Out of thirty-three members, eighteen have cultivated the Sacred Power…" Shen You casually described the members' situation.
Suddenly, Xiao Mu interjected, "What about those who cultivate the Power of Life and Death?"
Shen You was taken aback before answering with a bitter smile, "There are only three members cultivating the Power of Life and Death, and their realms are quite low. Only one has reached the True Realm while the other two are still in the Mortal Realm."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance nervously at Xiao Mu.
It was clear that Director Shen knew Xiao Mu also cultivated the Power of Life and Death, and at a much higher realm, making him even more suitable for the Medical Group than its current members.
Xiao Mu nodded, offering no comment.
The Power of Life and Death is mainly used for healing external injuries, while Sacred Power is particularly effective in lifting curses.
However, with the death of the Curse Ancestor, the Curse Gate had withdrawn from the human world, significantly diminishing the relevance of practitioners of Sacred Power.
But everyone knew that the Power of Life and Death was exceedingly difficult to cultivate, with very few places in the human world where one could acquire the seeds needed to cultivate these Two Forces of Life and Death.
"Are the Medical Group's personnel sufficient for regular operations?" Xiao Mu finally asked.
Shen You seriously responded, "Under normal conditions, along with Healing Fruits, we have enough manpower. However, once we are caught in battle, we immediately face a shortage of personnel."
"Additionally, the Medical Group's workers primarily focus on treating external injuries. As for injuries to the Divine Sense, Divine Soul, and Status, including myself, currently only two people have the capability to treat such injuries, and even their ability is limited with poor results."
Xiao Mu remained silent, contemplative; he had known about the situation Shen You described long ago. All the Grand Elders and leaders at Great Tang Ruins had suffered injuries to their Divine Souls, and the Medical Group was incompetent in treating them; ultimately, they relied on fragments of Divine Treasures for repair.
"Does the Medical Group have any physicians at the level of Divine Doctor?" Xiao Mu asked again about another concern of his.
Shen You quickly shook his head, giving a wry smile, "No, let alone a Divine Doctor, we don't even have a single Great Physician; they are all just ordinary Mutated Physicians."
Physicians are also a type of Craftsman, categorized similarly in levels. The highest unquestionably is the Divine Craftsman, followed by the Ancestral Craftsman, Master Craftsman, and basic Craftsman, in four tiers.
The Medical Group at Great Tang Ruins didn't even have a Great Physician, much less a Divine Doctor.
Xiao Mu felt very helpless; the strongest physician was only a Great Physician, which explained why the Medical Group at the Great Tang Ruins was powerless against injuries to Divine Souls.
