Chapter 373: Where Yin Jin Goes
He was confused for a moment as to how he could recognize him so accurately and with such an attitude.
But it is undeniable that the sincerity in everyone's eyes made him feel particularly good.
"Are there... no zombies here?" Dean took the two children to the street to buy delicious grilled squid. Yin Jin looked around and compared with the environment he had experienced before, this place seemed like a paradise.
He looked at everyone's face, which was like the state before the end of the world, and seemed to understand why everyone was thanking Lu Weiyi.
He established a pure land in this world that was polluted by zombies and gradually began to release the evil of human nature.
Among these ordinary, unarmed people who can't even protect themselves, he is like a guardian angel.
The newly built urban area was not big, and the few people walked around the area for a short while. When they were about to return, Zhuang Mingxu, who was getting off work, caught up with them.
The deputy base commander riding a small electric scooter was not at all arrogant. From a distance, one could hear him asking about the business of street shops and the conditions of fishermen offshore. He was approachable and seemed like an old grassroots cadre before the apocalypse.
It was a modified electric car with a child seat installed in the front. The small car looked a bit petite against his broad back.
"Isn't there a bigger car?" Dean looked at the two children happily running towards people, and said to Lu Weiyi with a worried look on his face, "I think he can crush the car."
"That's not the case. The quality of the country's electric vehicles is guaranteed before the end of the world." Perhaps because he posed no threat, Lu Weiyi and Dean had no intention of guarding against Yin Jin, which made him relax a lot along the way. "Moreover, this small car is a rideable model with a small battery, which is not only more power-efficient, but can also be used as a bicycle when it runs out of power."
Yin Jin felt that based on the current situation of the base, this should be the main reason.
Sure enough, Lu Weiyi nodded, confirming what he said.
"Xiaoyi" Zhuang Mingxu pulled the two children to greet Lu Weiyi. When he saw Yin Jin and the child he was holding, he nodded slightly as a greeting, "Why don't you rest after coming back? You still have the energy to come out and play?"
"I didn't do anything." Lu Weiyi put all the messy things in his hand into the basket of the small electric bike and skillfully held the hand he extended.
"Daddy, Aiyi is tired. Can we take a ride in the car?" After playing with Dean for the whole afternoon and eating all the way, Zhuang Aiyi, with a big belly, felt a little tired at this time. When he saw Zhuang Mingxu, he immediately acted like a spoiled child.
"Then you sit in the back, your brother sits in the front, and dad pushes you, is that okay?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"Can"
"Okay~"
After two excited responses, two more children appeared on the electric bike. Zhuang Mingxu controlled the handlebars with one hand and held Lu Weiyi with the other.
Yin Jin looked at the two people's calm expressions, and a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
"Let's go in front of them." Dean heartlessly pulled him past the two of them, walked in front of them, met Yin Jin's inquiring gaze and explained, "It's safer this way."
Dean was finally not the one being warned, and he immediately kept telling Yin Jin the words that others had warned him about. He looked so serious and childish that Yin Jin couldn't help laughing.
Lu Weiyi, who was behind, was telling Zhuang Mingxu about what happened along the way. He did not forget to ask him about everyone’s attitude just now, and said curiously, "They all seem to know me."
"You are the base commander, so I should know you. What our base needs most right now is cohesion. Let everyone know how difficult it is to be in the outside world. Publicize your deeds of protecting everyone and make you a hero admired by many people. Only then can we get everyone to respond when it's critical."
Zhuang Mingxu explained calmly, not hiding the fact that it was all his own fault. Seeing that Lu Weiyi was not displeased, he did not say anything more. "Have you sorted out the supplies for this trip?"
"No, I was playing with Aiyi." Lu Weiyi was very frank, without any shame for not doing any work.
"Little daddy brought Aiyi a drivable car." Zhuang Aiyi gestured with his hands and feet to describe how he drove, "Like this, like this, beep beep beep, beep beep, and the car will run."
"It's a child's toy car." Lu Weiyi gestured the size and Zhuang Mingxu knew it immediately.
"Has Ai Yi learned it?" Zhuang Mingxu said in a gentle tone.
"I've learned it. I even took my younger brother to ride on it," he patted his chest and boasted with his chin held high, "I'll pick up my grandpa from get off work in the future."
"Haha, then dad will have a full-time driver."
"Yes, I'm happy to serve you, sir." Zhuang Aiyi put one hand on his chest, imitating what he had seen in the movies, and nodded slightly towards Zhuang Mingxu, which made Zhuang Mingxu laugh uncontrollably.
"Has Taotao learned it?"
"Not... not yet." Taotao leaned sideways, anxiously speaking and gesticulating, "The car is going fast, Taotao, bang, it crashed."
"Then let me teach you a few more times."
"Yes, I will teach my brother."
…
The three of them chatted with each other for a while, and soon they got back on the sightseeing bus they came in and headed towards Nakajima.
"Dean, take them back. Xiaoyi and I have something to do in South Island." When they arrived at the connecting corridor, Zhuang Mingxu gave the driving seat to Dean.
When Yin Jin heard this, he unconsciously clenched his hands around Qin Nian for a moment, then lowered his head as if nothing was on his mind.
"Oh, okay." Dean had no idea. He readily put down Zhuang Aiyi who was in his arms, jumped into the driver's seat, and drove to the middle island with one adult and three children.
"Before it gets dark for a while, let's go to South Island and ask people to count the supplies this time." Zhuang Mingxu stood at the passage leading to South Island and explained to Lu Weiyi. He waved to a base soldier who was passing by and asked him to notify Lin Yimu and take people to South Island.
"Most of the stuff this time was dug out from the ruins of the city. There was food, daily supplies, and machinery. It was just that they had been buried for a long time, and had been exposed to extreme cold and heat, so some of them had undergone qualitative changes."
As Lu Weiyi was talking, he raised his foot and prepared to walk towards the South Island. He saw Zhuang Mingxu stopped where he was, with his hands on the chain guardrail, as if he was looking at the sea in front of him. But upon closer inspection, he found that his eyes were fixed on the direction of the middle island. "What are you looking at?"
"Use your mental power to pay attention to what's happening over there with Yin Jin." Zhuang Mingxu put his arm around Lu Weiyi and leaned slightly closer to him. From a distance, it looked like he was being intimate with him. His tone was calm and his eyes never moved away.
"Do you think he will do it?" Lu Weiyi immediately understood what he meant, "He is a smart man, I don't think so."
Even after saying this, he still quickly sent his mental energy over.
Yin Jin was able to survive Zhuang Mobai's inhuman torture in the laboratory, and even after being treated like an object without dignity, he still remained clear-headed and rational, which was enough to show how determined he was.
A man who endures the strange looks from those around him and the gossip behind his back, and yet gives birth to a child without a care in the world and lives calmly with those who once tortured him, must have a level of forbearance that is beyond that of an ordinary person.
He would not do anything that would be disadvantageous to himself when he was not sure of leaving, especially when there was a hungry baby by his side.
Now that the severe cold is approaching, he knows what choice is best for him and his children.
As Lu Weiyi expected, Dean brought Yin Jin into the yard. Yin Jin politely greeted Xi Shi who saw him, and then Dean took him back to the laboratory smoothly. After a while, Dean returned alone.
Lu Weiyi then withdrew his mental strength, and the two of them walked towards the South Island. Zhuang Mingxu also talked about Yin Jin's resettlement issue again.
"I admire him a lot," Lu Weiyi made no secret of his admiration for Yin Jin, "In the beginning, many people in the lab treated him as a curiosity, not even as a human being. They went to see him openly with his big belly and talked about his body without any hesitation."
"He didn't care at all, as if he didn't hear anything. Later, when the child was born, those people moved in nearby. Even though they sometimes teased him because they liked the child, they still couldn't hide that look when they looked at him."
At that time, they were all in Lu Weiyi's space. Although Lu Weiyi would not spend energy to find out what everyone was doing, he would occasionally pay attention to them. Those people might not have any malicious intentions, but that kind of exploration, teasing, and talking would undoubtedly hurt a person.
But Yin Jin didn't take it to heart at all. He calmly and firmly made plans for himself and his children step by step in that difficult environment.
"He is a..." Lu Weiyi didn't know how to describe him.
Zhuang Mingxu added, "He is a very strong person inside."
"Yes," Lu Weiyi affirmed, "If it were me, I couldn't do what he did." Putting himself in his shoes, Lu Weiyi felt that he would choose death at the beginning.
He turned to look at Zhuang Mingxu, realizing that this man felt that he had become a little soft-hearted towards Yin Jin, "Maybe now that he's become a father, he understands empathy."
Lu Weiyi explained.
Zhuang Mingxu rubbed his soft hair and made appropriate arrangements: "I will give him a chance to live like a normal person."
Not long after the two arrived at the South Island, Lin Yimu and hundreds of logistics soldiers arrived on the island one after another.
"Master, I just returned to the villa and didn't see you. Did you have a smooth journey?" Lin Yimu greeted Lu Weiyi.
"It went smoothly. We brought back a lot of supplies." Lu Weiyi greeted the others and led them to the place where supplies were stored deep in the base. He briefly talked about what they had experienced during this period.
After the last conversation with Zhuang Mingxu, Zhuang Mingxu hurried to build an underground warehouse. All the things that were originally placed on the ground have been moved downstairs. Now there are only empty containers and empty rooms around them.
According to Zhuang Mingxu's classification, Lu Weiyi divided the supplies he brought back into several areas.
"It will take a long time for our logistics staff to clean it up." They had gone through the ruins in Qingyuan. Lin Yimu was very experienced. After taking a rough look at the reserves, he immediately talked to Zhuang Mingxu about asking ordinary people to come and help.
