Chapter 40 Room 403
"Since she's willing to say this to your face, she must have classified you as harmless. I can tell you this because I've implicitly agreed to it."
The mother and daughter walked hand in hand, and in just fifteen minutes, they stole glances at Lin Luyan dozens of times. Several times they wanted to ask her whether her face was an artificial process or her natural appearance.
If it is the former, they are quite willing to learn.
Because of concerns, I chose to keep silent.
The mother and daughter are both born with good looks. They are very cautious when going out, wearing both masks and veils. When others ask them about it, they just say it is a strange and ugly skin disease.
When the soldiers came to inform them yesterday, they warned them harshly that even if they showed their disgusting faces tomorrow, they could not cover them at all, otherwise they would be in trouble.
Then Xiaoli gathered them together, showing an unprecedented frightened expression, and told them that tomorrow they must look as uglier as possible.
Otherwise... you will die.
The mother and daughter, whose good looks could not be concealed even without makeup, were so worried that they did not sleep well the whole night. They got up early in the morning and painted their faces with black paint, rubbed the dirt, and dyed it slightly red, and then stuck it on their faces to pretend it was a boil, which was difficult to detect without a close look.
When they found that the makeup artist was standing next to Zhang Jun, their faces turned pale and they trembled with fear.
The person opposite was a famous makeup artist who had appeared on TV. Women all loved beauty, and they even stayed up late to watch her variety show, hoping to learn more beauty tips.
Fortunately, the five people in front of them caused Zhang Jun and the makeup artist severe discomfort due to their disgusting appearance, and the two of them happened to be next to Qin Simu. Zhang Jun didn't even look at them and waved them away.
Otherwise, with the makeup artist's many years of experience, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that something was wrong with their faces, and the consequences would be disastrous.
So when they followed Lin Luyan and others out of the soldiers' sight, they wanted to find an opportunity to ask.
I always feel that no one would be that ugly, and she must have done something to achieve that.
Her curiosity grew, so when Lin Luyan was talking to Yang Caijin, her mother Tang Qing pulled her daughter Tang Tang over and asked this embarrassing question.
Yang Caijin's openness to Lin Luyan made her naturally fond of the strangers around her. In addition, the other party's inadvertent revelations during the conversation made Lin Luyan want to recruit Xiaoli, a special psychic, and make her a great help to the restaurant.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Luyan told the truth to the mother and daughter.
"It does use some unique techniques, but I don't have that ability. I'm sorry, I don't have the right to make the decision."
The conversation between adults is always brief and to the point, neither unfamiliar nor awkward.
Turning the corner and entering the corridor of the residential building, Yang Caijin invited Lin Luyan and the other four to sit over at their place and get to know their neighbors.
They all happened to be residents of the same building.
Room 403.
The layout inside is completely different from that of an ordinary house; even the arrangement of the walls has been moved by a mysterious force.
A long square conference table is placed in the center of the living room, with a movable whiteboard on the side.
The chairs were stacked high in the corner, and the other places were empty, but everything was very clean, without a trace of old dust. It seemed that someone cleaned it regularly.
Lin Luyan glanced at Qin Simu and saw that he looked calm, so she didn't say anything and followed him quietly, but her pace was obviously much slower than his, and she hesitated to observe the secrets hidden in the building.
Even though her intuition told her that the people around her had no ill intentions, she still remained extremely vigilant.
"Please take a seat." Yang Caijin pulled out the chairs at the conference table and invited Lin Luyan and others to sit down.
He straightened his dirty sleeves, made sure he was dressed properly, and sat down like a gentleman.
Yu Min, who had never seen such a scene, was a little stiff. After seeing Lin Luyan and Qin Simu sit down, he put Liu Zhixing down from his back and sat next to him.
His heart was pounding, and in the solemn atmosphere, he felt like he was attending an important national conference.
Lin Luyan and the other four, plus the people from Yang Caijin's side, just filled up a circle around the conference table, with not a single chair left empty.
Just right, as if it had been expected.
Yang Caijin cleared his throat and led the applause, "Let us welcome the new residents and potential future comrades, Tao Daxiong and his family!"
Tang Qing and others followed Yang Caijin in clapping their hands. The applause continued, and the smiles on their faces were heartfelt. They expressed great joy at the arrival of Lin Luyan and others.
Seeing this scene, Yu Min swallowed his saliva and quietly moved his chair towards Liu Zhixing.
It was like a pyramid scheme, and he was a little scared.
He was becoming more and more confused about this Dawn Base.
"Excuse me, Brother Yang, what do you mean by comrades-in-arms?" Lin Luyan vaguely guessed the man's intention and asked this deliberately, wanting to see what he was going to do.
An idea popped up in her mind, and apart from that possibility, Lin Luyan couldn't think of anything else.
"This story has to start from the beginning. I didn't know the others here before. By chance, we got together and worked together to do our part to return to a society where everyone was equal, as it was before the apocalypse.
Room 403 is our secret base for exchanging information and discussing opinions.
I believe you also have a premonition that the Dawn Base is about to undergo a major change. It may usher in light, or it may fall into complete darkness and blindness.
Zhang Jun's actions today must have some ulterior motive. I don't know if you're aware, but the base has experienced a severe population loss recently, especially among attractive young men and women.
Therefore, on behalf of the people behind me, I sincerely invite you to fight against Zhang Jun together for your own future."
There was a long silence.
Yang Caijin and others all looked at Qin Simu, waiting for his reply.
Although the men spoke very little and it was mostly Lin Luyan who asked the questions among the five people, Yang Caijin and the others all agreed that the person who really made the decision was Qin Simu, the square-faced man with wrinkles all over his face.
There is a second-level psychic in the Room 403 team. From the very beginning, he noticed a first-level energy fluctuation in Zhang Juan and Liu Zhixing.
This energy is very strong, but sometimes it is difficult to capture a moment, just like ordinary people.
Sun Xian had never encountered such a situation since he entered the second level, but he could vaguely sense that the aura emanating from these two people was obviously stronger than that of ordinary psychics in the base.
As for the thin guy carrying Liu Zhixing and the only young woman, Lin Luyan, Sun Xian could conclude that they were both ordinary people.
But... he couldn't feel any energy fluctuations from the tall man standing in the middle, but when he used his supernatural powers to detect him, he couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable sense of fear and wanted to escape immediately.
