Chapter 81

Lin Bai stretched out her hand to take the potion bottle from Lou Tiannan's palm, but Lou Tiannan suddenly put his palms together and grasped her fingers along with the potion bottle in his palm.

He asked her again, "Zhu Liang said you gave her this medicine. What is this?"

Lou Tiannan's palm was large and tightly clenched. Lin Bai's hand couldn't be freed, so she simply gave up. She said frankly, "I don't know what my partner left me."

Lou Tiannan's eyelids twitched violently, "Did your partner leave it for you?"

"Yes." Lin Bai replied to Lou Tiannan while thinking about how to make up a lie, and did not notice the strange emotion in Lou Tiannan's words.

A shadow suddenly loomed before her. When Lin Bai looked up, she saw Lou Tiannan looking at her with a gloomy face: "Who is he?"

Seeing Lou Tiannan's expression, Lin Bai knew he couldn't fool him easily, so he said, "My friend works on the 17th floor of the 621 Biopharmaceutical Research Institute. She's one of Dean Xiao Hehua's assistants. She participated in the development of the original blood vaccine. Before the apocalypse, she sent this to me via smart courier. She didn't leave any message, only telling me that it could save my life in an emergency."

As Lin Bai spoke, he calmly watched Lou Tiannan's expression. Seeing that Lou Tiannan's face was still gloomy and hard when the original blood vaccine was mentioned, he knew that with his energy, he should have discovered the abnormality of the contents of the medicine bottle. It would be difficult to fool him.

She slowly added to her words, "Later, I discovered that this thing my partner left me seems to be able to awaken supernatural powers... I'm not entirely sure."

Lou Tiannan's eyes moved. He did feel a special energy from the residual liquid in the potion bottle. It was very subtle and could even mobilize the energy particles in his body. If it weren't for the extremely small amount of residual liquid, Lou Tiannan reasonably suspected that it might really be possible.

"But this is how Xiya's superpowers awakened." Lin Bai continued.

"Deputy Captain Zhu was infected with the zombie virus at the time, and one dose had little effect on him. I thought this might be helpful, so I gave it to Deputy Captain Zhu. You know the result."

"So, you gave the last bit to Xia Xia?" Lou Tiannan's tone relaxed for a moment.

"Yes, she is a nice person. She even gave Xiya some biscuits. If my partner saw her, he would give them to her as well." Lin Bai replied without hesitation.

After she finished speaking, she felt that Lou Tiannan's face was still not good, and she wondered secretly, why is this antique not as easy to fool as before? Or is it that people who are susceptible to it are like this?

Lou Tiannan had already taken inhibitors before coming to see Lin Bai, but the manic and depressed emotions in his chest were still fluctuating violently. He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions and asked her: "Can you take this to the federal research laboratory for me to study?"

"Sure, take it." Lin Bai didn't care. The remaining amount in the bottle of medicine probably couldn't even fill the needle of the syringe. Without Xiao Hehua, those people in the federal research laboratory would need this little bit of stuff to study for a long time.

After Lin Bai agreed, Lou Tiannan didn't move for a long time. Lin Bai glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you leave?" Lin Bai's energy was full and he didn't need Lou Tiannan for the time being.

"Are you so eager for me to leave?" Lou Tiannan asked back, his tone full of sparks.

I understand.

Although Lin Bai had never been in a serious relationship, he had read a lot of books on human physiology due to various needs. It was understandable that Alphas during their sensitive period were emotionally unstable. Lou Tiannan seemed to be quite reserved in normal times, but he seemed to be quite clingy during his sensitive period?

As the book says, during the sensitive period, Alphas experience extreme mood swings. Try not to stimulate their glands by touching them. Close friends can massage the back of their neck, back, and other areas, while offering soothing words.

She took a step towards Lou Tiannan. The two of them were already close to each other. Lin Bai took this step forward, and the two of them were almost touching. She put her palm on the back of Lou Tiannan's neck and stroked it. "Alright, Captain Lou, you haven't rested all night. The red bloodshot in your eyes is coming out. It's almost dawn. Go and rest."

Lou Tiannan felt a numbness in his back due to Lin Bai's action. The insecurity and irritability brought on by his susceptible period also disappeared in the blink of an eye. He moved his neck stiffly and replied stiffly, "I understand."

Lin Bai looked at Lou Tiannan's back as he pretended to be calm as he left, and thought to himself: What the book says is really true.

…

Lou Tiannan had only rested for less than an hour when someone told him that He Yan had arrived.

He Yan had been in disguise. When he entered the meeting room, his black cloak still carried the chill of the snow and wind outside. As soon as he saw Lou Tiannan, he knew he had reached his susceptible period. He gave him the powerful suppressant he had brought with him and told him some not-so-good news: "Aurora's people are threatening the chief with the fact that you killed zombies."

"Why should they?" Lou Tiannan frowned.

"Aurora said those zombies were meant to be used to get their God to grant them a secret recipe to fight the zombie virus. Cook swore that the God's potion was about to be bestowed upon them, except for this last batch tonight, which you destroyed. He demanded that the head of the federation join them in leading their forces to encircle and suppress you."

"A portion of the federal army has already been successfully instigated. Not to mention that in a few hours, at dawn, Aurora will widely publicize this matter to the believers, making your actions even more difficult."

Lou Tiannan felt something was wrong. "They just believed whatever Aurora said? Isn't the original blood vaccine I brought back already able to be mass-produced?"

He Yan looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Aurora produced five potions that are even more potent than the original blood vaccine, capable of achieving almost 100% immunity. They said that if it weren't for your obstruction, the Lord God would have granted them more zombie virus immunity potions, and even an unlimited supply in the future."

"Five?" This number made Lou Tiannan think more. They also brought back five original blood vaccines, and they just happened to be short of the second dose of five original blood vaccines.

"One of Dean Xiao Hehua's students recognized that the smell of the medicine Aurora brought was highly similar to the second dose of the original blood vaccine that Dean Xiao Hehua was developing at the time."

When He Yan said this, Lou Tiannan also understood. The Aurora zombies at the 621 Biomedical Research Institute and the medicine Aurora took out at this time were enough to prove something that should have been confirmed long ago. Aurora's people went to the 621 Biomedical Research Institute shortly after the end of the world and took away two doses of the original blood vaccine.

The two looked at each other and had the same guess in their minds that they might have taken Dean Xiao Hehua away as well.

"How many days can the leader delay?" Lou Tiannan asked directly.

"Eight hours." He Yan replied in a deep voice, "Public opinion will reach an uncontrollable situation by noon."

Upon hearing this number, Lou Tiannan remained calm and replied, "I understand. I will act within eight hours."

"The nearby federal army will fully cooperate with your operation." He Yan looked at Lou Tiannan steadily, "Everything will go smoothly."

He Yanlai came in the wind and snow, and left in the wind and snow.

Lou Tiannan realized belatedly that he had actually forgotten to give the small potion bottle left by Lin Bai to his father. He held the thumb-sized potion bottle in his palm, tore off a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, wrapped the potion bottle and put it into the password box in his room.

Next time, I will formally introduce Lin Bai to my father next time.

He listed things one by one in a very organized manner in his mind.

They didn't have any more time to investigate the situation of the Aurora Church. They had to attack Aurora right away. In a way, this was actually the best opportunity to attack Aurora.

Because they had just killed Aurora's zombies a few hours ago, Aurora probably didn't expect that they would launch a second attack on them in just a few hours.

Lou Tiannan quickly gathered the psychics in the border building and arranged his plans one by one.

Except for Xiya who stayed to take care of Wen Xia Xia who was unconscious in the leap stage, everyone else will participate in the attack on Aurora, including Lin Bai.

The plan was divided into two parts. In the first part, Lou Tiannan led a large force to pretend to attack Aurora Church head-on.

Another small group of elite psychics looked for opportunities to destroy the things kept in Aurora's side hall.

Staffing was done quickly.

Elena took Tang Mary, Baichuan and others to attack the side hall.

Lou Tiannan took Zhou Yu, Song Yan and others to attract Aurora's attention head-on, and Lin Bai was also arranged in Lou Tiannan's team.

Just what she wanted.

As they made their plans, it was pitch black outside the window; all that could be heard was the whistling wind and the sound of snowflakes hitting the window glass.

There has been continuous wind and snow outside these days. The sky is dark most of the time and the daybreaks are getting later and later.

The action was scheduled for eight in the morning, three hours later.

The journey from the Border Building to Aurora Church takes about thirty minutes. They will set off at 7:20, arrive at the designated location at 8 o'clock, and then wait for Lou Tiannan's order to launch the attack.

After the plan was arranged, some of the psychics took out their log chips and recorded something in the corner, while some had participated in the first zombie ambush and needed to seize the three hours of rest to ensure that they would be in the best condition after the attack began.

After hearing the arrangements, Lin Bai returned to her room. In the pockets of her combat uniform were all the zombie cores she had collected, as well as a small piece of yellow candle.

Time passed little by little, and there was less than half an hour left until the agreed departure time.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Lou Tiannan walked in from outside.

Lin Bai thought Lou Tiannan was going to assign her a task, so she asked, "Captain Lou, what's going on?"

Lou Tiannan had taken a powerful inhibitor, but when he saw Lin Bai, the pheromones in his body still became a little agitated. He stared at Lin Bai's face and asked, "After this battle, can we confirm our relationship?"

Lin Bai was stunned and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Lou Tiannan was delighted when he heard Lin Bai's affirmative answer. He looked at Lin Bai and couldn't help but hold her in his arms. He thought he was being too demanding and asked, "Can I have a kiss in advance to confirm our relationship?"

"Are you sure you wouldn't let a kiss make you—well—"

The soft touch on his lips swallowed up Lin Bai's unfinished words. Lin Bai remembered that the book seemed to say that Alphas in their susceptible period would have a stronger desire for control.

Apart from the first two times when Lin Bai touched Lou Tiannan's lips in a soothing manner, this was their first kiss in the strict sense. Lou Tiannan was quite excited, while Lin Bai felt that it was a bit strange and a new experience he had never had before.

"Ahem." A slight cough sounded at the door, interrupting the two people kissing in the room. Elena poked her head out from the crack of the door: "Although I don't really want to disturb you, but, Captain Lou, maybe we should set off as a team."

Behind Elena, one could see the excited Tang Mary and the indignant Baichuan who was forced to cover his mouth by her.
