Become stronger
"Brother." Xiya's voice still had the childishness unique to children, and her voice was also very tender.
Lou Tiannan asked her: "What's the matter?"
Xiya nodded and asked seriously, "Brother, can you teach me how to make my superpowers stronger?"
She wanted to become stronger, to be as strong as her mother. Limon saw that she had superpowers, and even though she was only seven years old, and even when she helped Peter fight Limon, Limon didn't dare to provoke her. That was her personal experience of the awe that superpowers brought to others.
She wanted to see zombies and bad guys do more than just scream in fear. She wanted to have the ability to fight back like her mother.
She wants to protect her mother and be a useful person, instead of always being protected or worrying about being abandoned. She wants to become strong.
The tall man in front of her was a fire-type mutant like her, and a particularly powerful one at that. He was also the captain of the federal army. It would definitely be a good idea to learn from him.
Although Lou Tiannan was a little surprised by Xiya's words, he did not show any contempt towards this seven-year-old child. "You want to become stronger?"
"Yes!" Xiya nodded firmly.
"Release your supernatural powers to the maximum extent." Lou Tiannan said.
Xiya put the doll on her waist, stretched out her hand to gather strength, and an orange-red flame quickly rose in her little hand. It was bigger than the first flame that rose in front of Lin Bai, and it lasted longer.
But within three minutes, Xiya began to struggle, and after seventeen or eighteen seconds, the flames went out.
Xiya panted and went to see Lou Tiannan nervously.
"The superpower that just awakened?" Lou Tiannan said.
"Yeah." Xiya nodded.
"Very weak." Lou Tiannan said.
Xiya bit her lip, she knew that Lou Tiannan was telling the truth.
Lou Tiannan thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper, wrote a few simple words, and handed it to Xiya, saying, "It's not enough to just have strong supernatural powers. You're too young now. You need to strengthen your muscles and bones to withstand the power of supernatural powers and use them stably and long-term. First, follow these three exercises for a few days to strengthen your physique, and your supernatural powers will also be strengthened."
"Thank you, brother." Xiya took the paper handed to her by Lou Tiannan with both hands with shining eyes.
"Well, let's go back to the camp." Lou Tiannan nodded, took the route map beside him to study it, and suddenly his sleeve was pulled.
He lowered his head again.
It was Xiya again. She held the paper and asked hesitantly, "Brother, what's written on this..."
Lou Tiannan: “?”
Xiya pointed at the words on the paper and stuttered, "The first one is something like sit... Is the second line running? What about the third line? And the last line..."
Lou Tiannan: “…”
He opened his mouth to ask something, but stopped. He was seven years old, and only six before the apocalypse. He really couldn't recognize so many words, but that was none of his business. He said calmly, "Let your mother teach you. She should be able to teach you the correct posture."
Lin Bai's skills are no worse than his.
"Okay." Xiya nodded while holding the paper, and did not forget to thank Lou Tiannan again, "Thank you, brother."
Looking at Xiya's back as she left with the paper, Lou Tiannan recalled Lin Bai's education of Xiya, and then thought of the environment of the end of the world, and frowned slightly.
When Xiya returned to the camp, she saw Lin Bai lying on the bed. She thought about it and decided not to disturb Lin Bai, but when she thought of the note Lou Tiannan gave her, she looked conflicted.
Zhou Yu, who was passing by, saw Xiya's face full of bitterness and hatred, and was a little surprised, "What's wrong, Xiya, your face is wrinkled like a bun."
Xiya remembered him, Brother Zhou Yu who gave Lin Bai the metal block. He was a kind brother. She took out the note and asked Zhou Yu: "Brother, can you teach me a few words?"
Zhou Yu took the note from Xiya's hand and casually said, "Oh, Xiya is an illiterate little kid! Could it be that your mother can't read either? Come, let me see—"
As a result, before he could even read what was written on the note, Xiya jumped up and snatched it away. Xiya angrily said to him, "I don't want you to teach me anymore!"
Bad guy!
"Hey!" Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, "Xiya, I was just kidding, Xiya!"
Xiya turned around and left with the note and the doll in her arms.
Song Yan happened to see this and stepped forward to act as an iron-faced judge: "What's going on? Xiya, did he bully you? Tell me and I'll help you deal with it!"
Zhou Yu took two steps to catch up and explained, "No, I was just joking."
Lu Jia, a passerby, overheard the incident and helped Xiya complain, saying, "Xiya went to Brother Yu to learn how to read, and then Brother Yu said Xiya was illiterate."
Song Yan rolled her eyes at Zhou Yu and said, "How old is she? You're showing off with her." Then she squatted down and asked Xiya in a gentle voice, "What words do you want to learn? Sister will teach you."
These words gave Zhou Yu goosebumps, and Song Yan kicked him without leaving any trace.
Xiya took out the note from her arms and showed it to Song Yan.
After Song Yan took it, he immediately recognized the powerful handwriting on the paper as coming from Lou Tiannan. "Captain Lou wrote this!"
"Huh? Was it written by Captain Lou?" Zhou Yu and Lu Jia opened their eyes wide and looked at the paper, wanting to see what Captain Lou had written.
"Yeah." Xiya nodded obediently, her crooked braid swaying. "My brother wrote me a note asking me to exercise."
Song Yan understood: "No wonder, the first line here asks you to do sit-ups, the second line is for running, and the third line is for push-ups. It also lists the basic time and number. Increase them one by one according to your own tolerance. Don't overdo it blindly."
Xiya understood the contents of the note and said thank you obediently: "Thank you, sister!"
"You're welcome! Keep up the good work!" Song Yan smiled and patted Xiya's head gently. She liked Xiya very much. She was very sensible and sweet-mouthed at a young age. Besides, since the end of the world, there were fewer and fewer young children to be seen.
Today, Omegas and young children are both rare resources of the Federation and are the focus of protection.
Xiya thanked him, but when she passed by Zhou Yu, she turned her face away with a vengeful look, leaving Zhou Yu speechless.
Song Yan laughed at him: "You're bullying a child! He's only seven years old, isn't it normal that he can't read?"
"I just said it casually, but I didn't know that she is not very tall and has such a strong self-esteem." Zhou Yu said depressedly.
"Let's wait for one night. You might forget it when you wake up tomorrow." Song Yan said.
"I hope so. You should go to bed early." Zhou Yu did not forget the important matter, "I'm going to go to Liangge's post."
As the night deepened, everyone except the guards went to sleep. Xiya carefully put the note away and lay down next to Lin Bai.
On the other side, Lisa and others were talking to Qiu Tu in their temporary base.
"Tek is dead."
"I heard it. Who is that woman? What special ability does she have?" Qiu Tu's voice was gloomy and hoarse, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"It's a Beta, no special abilities."
"Is it that she doesn't have super powers, or you didn't see her use them?" Qiu Tu thought of the voice he heard from the intercom. It was very unfamiliar, but...Tek's reaction before his death seemed like he knew her.
The person Taike knew...was it some law enforcement officer from the Law Enforcement Department?
Lisa recalled and said, "She probably doesn't have any special abilities. When the zombies approached her in the early stages, no zombies took the initiative to approach her. Those zombies all moved towards Lou Tiannan and the others. However, when she killed Taike, I was fighting Lou Tiannan and didn't see how she was able to kill him."
"What's her name? Is she Lou Tiannan's?"
Lisa glanced at Sun Yuan beside her, signaling him to reply.
Sun Yuan replied respectfully, "His name is Lin Bai. He's a survivor from the mall. He has a daughter. It seems that she's trying to follow Lou Tiannan to the safe zone."
"Go to the safe zone? Okay, let's see if she has the luck to go." Qiu Tu's tone turned, like a poisoned hook.
…
Zhou Yu originally thought that the child had a bad memory and that he could be coaxed with a biscuit after one night, but the next day, Xiya was still angry when he saw him, and two biscuits didn't coax him.
Lin Bai heard the whole story from other people, but did not get involved. She let Zhou Yu chatter in her ear. She sat in the corner and watched Xiya do sit-ups like an old monk in meditation.
Occasionally, he would pick up a branch and tap Xiya's shoulders or back to help her posture become more standard.
The weather was relatively good today. It was cloudy all morning without any rain or snow. Since we were in a remote wilderness, we encountered very few zombies.
Lou Tiannan led the team to a small comprehensive supermarket in the suburbs. Because it was located in a remote area, there were only three or two zombies in the supermarket and they were easily cleared out.
After checking that there were no potential dangers nearby, the team stopped here to resupply. Because they found a small supermarket, everyone had a much richer lunch that day. Limon had been hungry all day yesterday and was almost scared to death. He ate like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Lou Tiannan's eyes swept subtly across the book section in the corner of the small supermarket. Thinking of how Zhou Yu was still talking to Lin Bai about Xiya's literacy problem this morning, this should make Lin Bai a little more self-aware.
However, Lou Tiannan couldn't help but frown when he saw her slowly finishing a pack of biscuits without any movement.
When the food in the small supermarket was looted by the survivors and the flow of people decreased, he saw Lin Bai stand up and go to the small supermarket. The route seemed to be going to the library area. Lou Tiannan retracted his gaze and felt slightly satisfied. He felt that he had some awareness.
At this time, Zhu Liang came to him and said, "Captain Lou, make sure every survivor gets a certain amount of food. If the weather remains like this, we expect to reach the edge of West District 1 within two days. We need to prepare in advance..."
West District 1 is the only way to the safe zone. It was also one of the most prosperous areas before the end of the world. The more prosperous the area, the more dangerous it is. They are carrying more than 40 survivors and have to ensure their safety.
Lou Tiannan nodded: "I understand. Before arriving, we'll find a temporary base to stay for two days. I'll lead the team to scout the West District... Brother Liang, you'll be temporarily..."
Lou Tiannan and Zhu Liang discussed for a while and decided to set off early after making the plan. He raised his head and subconsciously glanced at the library area. There was no one there, and he was slightly stunned.
Have you got the book?
Then he glanced around and his face suddenly darkened.
Inside the supermarket, seven or eight people were trying to search for any survivors who had slipped through the net in the empty food section. There were also three or five people in the clothing section. Meanwhile, Lin Bai was standing alone in the makeup section, selecting from shelves full of lipsticks and foundations...
