"Yes, that's it. I'll teach you how to apply makeup to offset the points I owe you. That's a deal! ...If you don't want this car, I won't sell it to you."
Lin Qingqing thought: The price of this car is too low, I might as well keep it for myself.
"Who said I don't want it? 120 points, keep it if you want. As for using makeup to offset your outstanding balance, forget it!" Big Ear is a profiteer, willing to do anything for a dollar. It's not easy to get a bargain from him!
"200 points! Give me a few boxes of nails, I'll use them." Lin Qingqing's mind raced as she began to promote herself. "I'm a senior beautician. Usually, clients have to make an appointment a month in advance. Are you sure you don't want to learn from me?"
"No!" Big Ears glanced at the other person. "You're kidding! I'm completely bare-faced! And you're a high-level beautician! Bah!"
"Medicines can be used as a deduction. Just bring the medicines. Anti-inflammatory drugs are worth 10 points each, antipyretics are worth 15 points, and granules are worth 5 points. The brand doesn't matter, but the points for Chinese patent medicines will be reduced by half." Big Ears lowered his voice and spoke.
"Why are the points for Chinese patent medicine reduced by half?" Lin Qingqing was a little dissatisfied, although she didn't want to sell medicine to Big Ears.
The shortage of medicines will only get bigger! Moreover, if the medicine is in her hands, it might be able to save lives. If she sells it to Big Ear, he will treat it as inventory and a scarce commodity.
Besides, she didn't have much medicine, most of which were given by several doctors in the sanatorium.
Although her conscience was low, she didn't want to trample on the doctors' kindness when they secretly gave her the medicine so that she could save lives.
"Do you have any Chinese patent medicine? Since we are so familiar with each other, I can give you a little more." When Big Ears heard her say this, he misunderstood that she had Chinese patent medicine, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was anxious.
Lin Qingqing said indifferently: "No!"
The two bargained, and when the deal was finally completed, all the customers had left.
Liu Qiang and Lao Tan stood at the doorway, their cigarettes billowing, their feet treading on a pile of cigarette butts. Neither of them were talkative, and since they hadn't drunk anything, the conversation went quiet after a few words.
Now that they had finally finished dawdling, they were all eager to leave.
Lin Qingqing took Liu Qiang to the hotel. After she retrieved her things, she gave the room card to Liu Qiang.
"Where do you live? I'll take you back first!" Liu Qiang was a little worried.
Lin Qingqing curled her lips: "How could I be so delicate!"
The two of them made an appointment to go to Qian Xiaomin's house tomorrow night, and Lin Qingqing also left a box lunch for Liu Qiang.
On the way back to my cousin's house, it was already late at night and only a few scattered lights were left emitting white light in the base.
There were almost no pedestrians on the road except for patrolling soldiers, and people who had been busy all day had already fallen asleep.
The existence of bases of all sizes in various places has sheltered many survivors.
Unfortunately, most bases will disappear in the repeated zombie waves.
Most of the survivors who had not been baptized by battle eventually became food for zombies.
In the last days, if you rely on the mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on the water, the water will flow away.
No one will always stand in front of you. All your schemes and strategies will eventually come to nothing if they do not have the power to match them.
Even when Lin Qingqing was walking on the road, she did not forget to touch a nail in her hand, carefully feeling the structure of the metal, just like when she was training her water purification power.
Only by understanding it can you control it and use it for your own benefit.
When she reached Garden Road, the nail in her hand had become smaller, with most of the excess impurities removed, leaving it with a delicate and smooth texture. She could vaguely feel a connection between herself and the nail.
Lin Qingqing's mouth curled up slightly. If she was given another month, she would be able to advance on her own without eating crystal cores!
What worries her is that she doesn’t have enough points to buy a plane ticket and doesn’t know when she can go home.
When she opened the door of her cousin's house, a faint sour smell came into her nose. Lin Qingqing frowned and turned on the light.
She glanced around the room quickly and cautiously, but found nothing unusual. The furnishings in the room were the same as before she left.
She turned her gaze to the dining table, opened the cover of the food, and found that the food inside was spoiled!
The note she left before she left is still there.
My cousin hasn’t been home for so many days?
Lin Qingqing was very uneasy.
This is not normal!
Her brows were furrowed, her whole body felt cold, and for a moment she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Lin Qingqing looked around the house but didn't see any landline phone. She looked at her watch and it was already 11:12 pm.
She knew that it was so late, even if she ran to the special isolation area immediately, she would not be able to get in through the main gate.
At this time, the only communications and networks available in the base were the government and military intranets. There was no landline in the room, so she had no way out.
Lin Qingqing absentmindedly cleaned up the spoiled food on the table and forced herself to sleep on the sofa.
Because she was restless, she woke up several times and appeared at the door of the special isolation area before dawn the next day.
Lin Qingqing said to the soldier standing guard at the door, "I'm looking for Yang Biluo. Please pass her on."
"This is a special area. No outsiders are allowed to enter or exit. Ma'am, please leave." The soldier said with a stern face, rejecting her formally.
"Yang Biluo works here and hasn't been home for several days. I am her family member and I have the right to know her whereabouts." Lin Qingqing argued.
When the soldier heard her say this, he looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "You can register your identity first and wait for further notice."
Lin Qingqing was quite helpless, but she also knew that the soldiers on guard had limited power and it was pointless to argue with them.
She had no choice but to fill out the form and wait anxiously at the door.
After Lin Qingqing registered, a soldier called inside to verify.
After he hung up the phone, he said he needed to wait for a reply from the other side.
Time passed minute by minute, and the phone in the security booth didn't ring. Lin Qingqing's heart sank.
The sky was slightly bright, the mist was floating gently, and people stood still. After a while, dewdrops appeared on their bodies.
It's almost May, but the weather feels like the beginning of winter, especially in the early morning when the temperature drops below zero.
The soldier on guard saw that the girl in front of him was about to be soaked by the mist, and he softened his heart and pointed to the security booth and said, "You can go inside and wait."
"No, thank you." Lin Qingqing didn't sleep well the night before, and her voice was a little hoarse.
After waiting for about half an hour, the phone inside finally rang. Through the glass window, Lin Qingqing saw that the soldier who answered the phone had a frown on his face.
He hung up the phone and came out with a sad look on his face. The soldier saluted her:
"Doctor Yang was on a special mission and has been confirmed deceased. The details are confidential and cannot be provided to you at this time. You may apply to collect her personal belongings."
The soldier looked at Lin Qingqing with some worry. The other party's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, and his body shook.
Lin Qingqing tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, her eyes seemed to be icy, "Is there a body?"
"I'm sorry, please accept my condolences." The soldier looked at the girl in front of him who suddenly exuded a chill. There seemed to be an inexplicably powerful power in her seemingly thin body.
