X112 type alkali

Lin Bai remembered this voice, the jeweler's son, Peter.

The car started slowly.

Song Yan, who was in the same carriage, quietly paid attention to the two people talking in the corner. Lou Tiannan's instructions last night rang in his ears - keep an eye on the Beta named Lin Bai.

Many people were talking in low voices in the carriage, and Lin Bai and Peter in the corner were not noticeable.

"My name is Peter, and my mother is Tang Mary, a famous jeweler in the South Third District. You should have heard of her." Peter introduced himself to Lin Bai proudly.

"No."

Peter choked, but he continued, "You've probably heard of the Heart of Light."

The Heart of Light, one of the most famous precious gems in the Federation before the end of the world.

Lin Baitou tilted his head slightly and looked at Peter.

Seeing that Lin Bai finally looked at him straight in the eye, Peter raised his chin proudly. What a Beta with little experience.

Peter noticed Lin Bai yesterday. She was a female Beta who was alone with her child. Although she had some abilities, she had to rely on the federal army.

She was wearing the same makeup today as yesterday, and still looked very ordinary. Before the end of the world, Peter would definitely look down on someone like Lin Bai.

But things are different now. In this apocalypse where Omegas seem to be extinct, Peter has been hiding for so many days, which has made this playboy feel suffocated.

He was not a fool, so he would not try to attract Wen Xia Xia's attention. He did not dare to touch the people under Lou Tiannan, so he could only settle for the next best thing and go to Lin Bai.

Even though Lin Bai in front of him looked ordinary and had no tact, if he thought about it more deeply, maybe there would be a different kind of feeling. When he thought of this, Peter felt itchy in his heart.

At noon, the team found an empty parking lot to eat. Each person received a potato pancake and a small bag of water. Peter took the food and sat next to Lin Bai to eat.

Lou Tiannan bit into a potato pancake, his eyes passing over Peter and Lin Bai, who had become familiar with him without him noticing, without paying much attention.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to plan the route. A team of seventy people would be too conspicuous. Fortunately, it was sunny all morning today and there were few zombies.

The peaceful morning did not let him relax his vigilance. The mad dogs of blood and bones would not give up so easily.

Unexpectedly, the people from Blood and Bone were more patient than he expected. Until it got dark, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Instead, they were lucky enough to find a gas station.

After refueling all the vehicles, Lou Tiannan found a deserted and empty garage nearby as a place to stay overnight.

Zombies prefer darkness and are sensitive to light, sound, and the breath of living people, so traveling at night is too risky.

Leaving someone to stand guard, Lou Tiannan took people to the back of the carriage to discuss the next itinerary plan.

As soon as Lou Tiannan and other core members of the federal army left, Peter couldn't help but go to find Lin Bai again.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bai was more knowledgeable than he thought. As soon as he found Lin Bai, Lin Bai made a gesture to him and then walked towards a hidden place.

Peter's small eyes lit up, and he waved his short hair in front of his forehead, revealing an expectant smile, and he couldn't wait to follow Lin Bai's disappearing back.

The area next to the garage was deserted, with withered weeds growing everywhere. Peter saw Lindbergh as soon as he entered the weeds. He raised his hand to touch Lindbergh, but Lindbergh was more proactive than him and actually put his arm around his neck, and then -

"Cough cough cough--" Peter covered his throat and coughed hard, but he clearly felt that the small pill had slipped down his esophagus.

Seeing that he coughed too loudly, Lin Bai made a short hiss, like blowing a casual mute whistle.

"What did you give me to eat!" Peter looked at her in panic.

"X112 Alkaline." Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at him, then asked with interest, "Have you heard of it?"

When Peter heard the name of the medicine, cold sweat soaked his back.

X112 alkali is a drug strictly controlled by the federal government. It is usually used by the military to interrogate extremely vicious criminals. After the drug takes effect, it can quickly cause severe pain throughout the body, accompanied by organ failure, making life worse than death.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Bai raised the corners of his lips: "It seems that he has heard it before."

Peter licked his pale lips and shook his head stammeringly, "No, it's impossible!" How could a beta get this kind of medicine?

But the next second, when he saw the small blue and white striped medicine bottle in Lin Bai's hand, his legs suddenly went weak. It was exactly the same medicine bottle he had seen in the news, locked in a strictly controlled medicine cabinet.

"No, no, no! You have the antidote, right? Give me the antidote quickly!" Peter rushed forward and tried to restrain Lin Bai and find the antidote. In the blink of an eye, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground with his head tilted back. His shoulder was crushed by someone, and a short blade hung between his eyebrows.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead into his hair. He was able to survive this long in the apocalypse, so he wasn't completely useless. He tried his best to remain calm and negotiate with Lin Bai: "You can't kill me. If you kill me, Lou Tiannan and the others won't let you go! Don't you care about your daughter?!"

Lin Bai stepped on Peter's shoulder and looked at him coldly.

Before Peter could think about anything else, the severe pain in his internal organs made him curl up and roll over, but someone was stepping on his shoulder and he couldn't move. He felt like he was in so much pain that he was about to die. He wanted to ask Lin Bai for help, but when he looked up, he saw the woman in front of him with a cold face like a ghost. Peter burst into tears.

Perhaps it was the instinct for survival, or perhaps it was because he had seen so many different people and things since he was a child, but at this moment his mind suddenly came online, and he pleaded to Lin Bai in a weak and painful voice: "Please, please... I will do whatever you want me to do, please..."

Peter didn't know how long it took, he only knew that the pain he had never experienced in his life ended at this moment.

"Where did you put the Tang family's diamond crystal?"

Every member of the Tang family in the South Third District is born with a diamond crystal that symbolizes their status, but the quality of the diamond crystal varies depending on their status.

Peter shuddered reflexively, not having time to think about how Lin Bai knew. His body moved faster than his brain to unbuckle his belt. He climbed up tremblingly, his hands shaking like a sieve. It took him a long time to unbuckle the belt. From the metal buckle, he pulled out a thin box, only slightly thicker than an ID card. He handed it over respectfully: "Here, it's in here, but it requires a password. I was not yet an adult, so I didn't know-"

Yes, according to the Tang family's rules, diamond crystals are placed in a special combination card box before coming of age. On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the head of the family, Tang Mary, will personally reveal the combination. Before the apocalypse, he was preparing for his coming-of-age ceremony in West District 7. However, no one knew the apocalypse would come, and when it did, he couldn't contact his mother.

Before Peter could finish his words, he heard a click and the box containing his family's diamond crystals was opened.

Peter's eyes widened in shock. "How—how—"

Lin Bai cast a look at him, and no matter how surprised he was, he immediately fell silent.

Lin Bai pulled the diamond crystal from the box. Its thousands of facets made it shimmering and translucent even in the dim light of night. It was indeed a beautiful mineral. She closed her palms, taking the diamond crystal into her palms, and casually tossed the code box to Peter. "You've survived for now."

Hearing this voice that sounded like a gift, Peter didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before he heard Lin Bai say again: "But..."

His heart was in his throat, but Lin Bai said nothing. He just looked at him with his eyes lowered, with no emotion in his eyes.

Peter's throat was dry, his Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed, and nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand everything, nothing happened."

"Don Mary's children are indeed smart."

Hearing this, Peter didn't even dare to ask about the antidote.

…

Lou Tiannan, Zhu Liang and others briefly discussed tomorrow's itinerary and jumped off the carriage. He went to the rest area and found that Lin Bai and Peter were gone at a glance. Only Xiya was left eating potatoes with her baby in her arms. He asked the person on guard where Lin Bai and Peter were.

The guard scratched his head, looking hesitant, before answering, "They went to the back of the garage."

"Where are they going? No one is following them?" Lou Tiannan asked with a frown.

A survivor who was watching Lou Tiannan made a face and interrupted, "Captain Lou, it's something we both agreed on, so why would anyone else follow..."

Lou Tiannan was not a fool. He understood what he meant after thinking about it, and his face darkened.

He raised his foot to walk to the back of the garage, and saw Lin Bai coming out from behind the wall with a natural look on his face. He sat down next to Xiya as if nothing had happened. Then, Peter also came out from behind the garage.

He looked much more disheveled than Lin Bai, his clothes were disheveled and he was sweating profusely...even his belt button was buttoned upside down, his hair was wet with sweat, and the scent of pheromones was completely gone.

One is Alpha and the other is Beta, which is normal and no one finds it strange.

Seeing the two coming back and Peter in the same state again, some Alphas whistled without hesitation, which seemed to be a bit of a provocation.

There was even an Alpha named Limon who came up to Lin Bai and said dirty words, wanting to see if he had the chance.

"Lin Bai, he finished so quickly, can you feel good? Or try mine?"

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Bai slapped him in the face with a strong slap. Before he could lose his temper, a short blade was across his neck. The eyes with eyeliner were cold and chilling. At that moment, he thought he was going to die.

But Lin Bai's knife did not cut down, not because she gave him a chance, but because Lin Bai's wrist holding the knife was caught.

Lou Tiannan's warm palm with thin calluses on the bony joints tightly grasped Lin Bai's slightly cold wrist.

Limon's neck belatedly felt the coldness of the blade, and he even felt the subtle sensation of liquid passing across his neck, but he trembled and dared not make a sound.

For a moment, the garage was unusually quiet.

No one expected things to turn out like this.

Peter looked at the foul-mouthed Alpha under Lin Bai's knife, and then thought about what he had just experienced, and said to himself: See, this is the price of being blind.

Lin Bai looked at Lou Tiannan and said, "Captain Lou, are you trying to meddle in other people's business?"

Lou Tiannan said coldly: "Come with me."

Lin Bai said indifferently: "Okay, you have to let me put the knife away."

Lou Tiannan paused for a second and let go of his hand.

Lin Bai put the knife back into the sheath, raised his leg and kicked Limon between the legs in front of him, knocking Limon over. Limon kept holding his lower body and groaning in pain. Then he turned to face Lou Tiannan as if nothing had happened and said, "Let's go."

The force of this kick was so strong that all the men present couldn't help but feel pain.

Lou Tiannan led Lin Bai away from the driverless car, and then whispers began to rustle in the garage. Zhou Yu, who had witnessed the whole process, closed his mouth for a long time, "Isn't this Lin Bai a little too fierce..."

Someone beside him snorted coldly and said, "He deserves the price for his foul mouth!"

Song Yan glanced aside and saw Wen Xia Xia: "Did he provoke you too?"

At the base of the wall, Peter, having received the signal from Lin Bai before he left, loosened his fingers and stood up...

…
