Chapter 90 "Let's go out and play tomorrow."
Wu Li's injury was not actually serious enough to be fatal. He just had a fever and looked unconscious. Lin Xiaoyuan was too concerned and thought he was dying.
The psychic has a strong physical fitness and recovers quickly. After taking the medicine, the fever subsided in half a day. The wound is also not a big deal and will be healed in a few days.
After Lin Ke and the others settled down, they did not forget to send the agreed exchange supplies to Jiang Jie and the others.
Most of the food left in the village is not the fast food found in shopping malls, but the grains grown by the villagers themselves, pickled meats, and dried products. They are much better than junk food that can only fill the stomach but has no nutritional value.
So Jiang Jie was quite satisfied with this exchange. These people did not fool him and were quite sincere.
In addition, Lin Ke also conveyed Wu Li's gratitude, saying that he would come to thank him in person after he recovered a little.
Jiang Jie didn't care about this at all, as long as he got the thing.
In extremely cold weather, there are actually not many mutants, only one pops out occasionally. Wu Lie and his friends were unlucky this time. The one that broke in was a fire-type mutant that was not afraid of the cold and was very aggressive, so they were injured.
As the days passed, the cold weather forced everyone to go out less and no one dared to stop burning the stove at home.
In this situation, coal and firewood are consumed quickly. Although they have collected all the excess combustible materials from the vacant houses in the village, it seems that it is still not enough for everyone to survive this winter that will end at an unknown time.
In order to save things, they began to arrange for several families in the village to live together. Although it may be inconvenient, it can reduce consumption.
At the same time, they, the psychics, also had to go to the surrounding mountains and forests to collect more firewood, and they couldn't just consume it.
But the temperature outside is too low. Even if the psychics have better physical fitness than ordinary people, they cannot stay in such an environment for a long time.
Therefore, every time they go out, Lin Ke becomes the indispensable one. The fire ability is too important at such times. It can help them warm up and save their lives at critical moments.
They believe that they will be able to survive this cold winter.
In comparison, Jiang Jie and his friends lived a much more comfortable life. They had collected coal and other things before and had plenty of supplies in the space.
The mutant creatures that occasionally popped out were only a few kittens. Jiang Jie was sometimes too lazy to fight them and just burned them.
Most of the time they didn't go out, and they just ate, drank, watched movies, and played cards. Their days were even more leisurely than when they were on the road before.
So after half a month, Lin Mian felt that his face seemed a little rounder.
He pinched the soft flesh on his cheek in the bathroom mirror and felt that it was not an illusion.
He has always been the type of person who can't gain weight. He has a normal appetite, but his body shape has always been relatively thin.
He poked his face again. He didn't mind the little bit of fat he had gained, but just thought it was funny that he had gained weight in the apocalypse where supplies were scarce.
"Are you admiring your pretty face?" Jiang Yan walked to the bathroom door, saw him smile at the mirror, and leaned against the door.
The other party had been washing up for a long time and hadn't come out yet. There was no other movement inside, so he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the little rabbit was admiring himself.
When Lin Mian heard his voice, he looked up and looked in the mirror. The man was wearing a slim-fitting high-necked black sweater, and his body contours were clearer. He was also aware of how beautiful the muscle lines of this body were.
The man is able to maintain his figure now thanks to the fact that he does some exercise in the morning when he doesn't go out.
At that time, Lin Mian was still curled up in bed. He couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he had been living a decadent life recently and whether he should do some proper exercise so as not to waste the physical functions of a psychic.
His gaze lingered on her body, causing Jiang Yan to raise his eyebrows slightly. He walked up behind him, stared at him in the mirror, and leaned his head close to his ear, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Mian shrank to the side and said, "I've gained weight recently."
Hearing this, Jiang Yan looked at him carefully in the mirror. His face was indeed rounder than before. When he pinched his waist at night, he could feel some soft flesh. "Well, he looks better too, and feels better to touch."
While speaking, he also raised his hand and pinched the other person's face.
"My life has been a bit too comfortable lately," Lin Mian sighed. He spent almost all his time eating and sleeping. "Shouldn't I get up early and do some exercise?"
He asked seriously, but Jiang Jie's thoughts had already wandered. He leaned down and put his chin on his shoulder, put his arms around his waist, and said with a smile: "Don't you exercise almost every night? If you feel it's not enough, we can increase the amount."
“…”
The topic started to turn to inappropriate things again, and Lin Mian was speechless for a moment.
He always can't get up in the morning, and the other party is actually mainly responsible.
Exercising at night is too tiring for the waist, so he doesn't have the energy to get up early and continue exercising.
If the dosage is increased, then he really won’t be able to sleep at night. Lin Mian sighed and looked into the man’s eyes in the mirror. “I think it’s fine now.”
In fact, he thinks that building up fat for winter can help one better withstand the cold, which is a very good thing.
Jiang Yan was amused by his expression. He tilted his head to rub his neck and said with a smile, "Well, as long as you like it."
As if infected by his joy, Lin Mian couldn't help but curl his eyebrows.

It is hard to endure the cold weather. More than a month seems as long as a year to most people, and this cold winter is far from over.
Due to the influence of the weather, Wu Li and his companions could not drive to the nearby town to look for some daily necessities as they did before, and the things they had were consumed bit by bit.
That day, Wu Li and Lin Ke got together to discuss whether they should take advantage of the fact that there was no snow in the next two days and go out for a trip. The car they used to use frequently had been kept in an empty grain warehouse to avoid damage in the previous hailstorm.
With heating, although it is not as warm as a kang stove, you should not freeze to death during a trip, and you have Lin Ke as a guarantee.
It's a good opportunity for them to look for some medicines or something. If any unexpected situation occurs again, they can't always trouble Mr. Jiang.
"If you want to go, you may have to go a little further. The county may not be enough." Lin Ke reminded.
The county town near their village was not big to begin with, and after the initial looting, there was probably nothing left.
If you really decide to go out, it is best to go farther, to the city, where you may gain more.
Wu Yan felt that what he said made sense, but his only worry was that it might take a whole day to go out, and it was a problem who should stay in the village.
In fact, the most suitable people for the trip are him and Lin Ke. In addition to being able to ensure temperature at critical moments, they are also relatively more aggressive and can deal with many emergencies in the outside world.
But at the same time, they were also worried that there would be emergencies in the village after they left. If another B mutant appeared, Zhao Xiaoyun and Lin Xiaoyuan might have difficulty dealing with it.
Lin Ke thought about it carefully and said, "How about I take Xiaoyuan with me? He's probably been stuck in the village lately and wants to go get some fresh air. Brother Yan, you and Xiaoyun stay in the village. She hasn't been feeling well these past few days."
Wu Yan was still a little hesitant when he heard his proposal.
Lin Ke patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if we really encounter any problems, we won't confront them head-on. We can just avoid them as soon as possible. If we can't defeat them, we can still run away."
I have to say that his suggestion is the most appropriate. The two most aggressive people should act separately, one on each side.
"Okay," Wu Yan said, relieved, and warned, "Remember, your own safety is the most important thing. No matter what the situation, you must take care of yourself."
"I understand, Brother Li. I won't show off. Even if I don't care about myself, I will still take care of Xiaoyuan." Lin Ke put his arm around his shoulders and shook him.
Wu Lie was relatively relieved about him. Although he was much younger than himself, he had a relatively stable personality and was not an impulsive person.
After Lin Ke let him go, he thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Should we go ask Mr. Jiang if they have any plans to leave?"
The other party has been in the village for so long, and the things he has may have been consumed, and he may also want to collect supplies.
Wu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Go and ask. It's Mr. Jiang's decision whether to go or not."
They did as they said and went out together to the south side of the village in the afternoon.
At that time, Jiang Jie and his friend were playing chess in the house. Neither of them had played chess before, and as a novice against a novice, they found the back and forth movement quite interesting.
When he heard someone coming outside, Lin Mian was distracted and his chess piece was captured, resulting in him losing the game.
Jiang Yan raised his lips and shook the chess piece in his hand, "You must concentrate when fighting."
Lin Mian curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Jie threw the chess piece onto the chessboard. Just then, there was a knock on the door, so he turned over and got out of bed.
Because he was in a good mood, he gave the two people outside a friendly look when he opened the door, "What's the matter?"
It was rare to see him so friendly, and Wu Yan was stunned for a moment. After hearing the other party's question, he said, "We plan to leave the village tomorrow to go to the city to find some supplies. Let me ask Mr. Jiang if he is interested in joining us."
Going out? Jiang Yan's eyebrows twitched, and he turned his head to glance inside the house. The little rabbit was really getting bored recently. He had played with all the entertainment items in his hands. It would be nice to go out and get some fresh air.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and responded, "Go."
He agreed, and Wu Li and his friend were very happy. No matter what, with each other around, the safety of this trip was guaranteed.
After seeing them off, Jiang Yan returned to the room and reached out to hook the little rabbit's chin. "Let's go out and play tomorrow."
Lin Mian's eyes lit up.
