restless
Next to the pickup truck, Lou Tiannan frowned and asked Lin Bai, "What's going on between you and Peter?"
"Captain Lou, didn't you see it all?" Lin Bai still liked talking to Lou Tiannan, especially Lou Tiannan who was in a bad mood now. The temperature nearby was several degrees higher than the garage. The high temperature made her very comfortable, and she could clearly feel that the energy lost in her body was gradually recovering.
"Don't forget! You are a military dependent!" Seeing her indifferent look, Lou Tiannan felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Lin Bai sneered and replied nonchalantly, "Captain Lou, so what if I'm a military family member? I need to find a partner, but I also need to survive."
Seeing that Lou Tiannan seemed to be getting angrier, she looked puzzled: "Captain Lou, why is he living like an old-fashioned person who didn't have a differentiation period a thousand or eight hundred years ago? As long as I'm alive, it's the best news for my partner, isn't it?"
Lou Tiannan looked at Lin Bai, his mind flashing back to the soldiers who had died while on mission and the families of soldiers who had received tragic news. Being alive was indeed the best news. He suppressed the anger in his heart a little, "I will send you back to the first area of the military defense headquarters. I will also be responsible for your safety. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Lin Bai leaned against the car and shook his head, saying, "Captain Lou, you're not only old-fashioned, you're also the best spokesperson for eutectualism."
(Alpha supremacy, also known as Alpha superiority, believes that Alpha power is absolute and that the Alpha gender is stronger than other genders.)
Lou Tiannan's eyes suddenly became sharp. His facial contours were strong, his features were deep, and his eyes were lighter than those of ordinary people. When he looked at others expressionlessly, he was already intimidating. What's more, he was now emotional. The atmosphere between the two of them was silently tense.
Lin Bai was not at all timid. She said with a smile: "What is the offense of that Alpha just now to you? Just an insignificant joke? You may even think that what he said is nothing to me, just a careless remark, because you are an Alpha just like him." Lin Bai deliberately expressed her disgust for Lou Tiannan, who is an Alpha, in her words. She deliberately wanted to provoke Lou Tiannan.
"When you say you're responsible for my safety, you're just ensuring I stay alive. But I want more than just survival... What you won't do—" Lin Bai said slowly, "Someone will."
There was a commotion in the garage, and someone hurried over to report, "Captain, Peter and Limon are fighting!"
Lou Tiannan suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Bai, who smiled at him with a pure and innocent look.
When Lou Tiannan returned to the garage, the fight had been stopped. Limon was leaning against the wall with a bruised face and nose, glaring at Peter with bloodshot eyes.
On the other side, Peter, who was held down by Zhu Liang, looked a little better, with his hair a little messy and only a bruise on his face.
Seeing Lou Tiannan coming over, Song Yan briefly explained the situation, "Not long after you left, Peter and Limon started fighting, and Xiya also got involved. The little girl had fire abilities, so it took some effort to pull them apart."
Fire-related abilities?
Only then did Lou Tiannan notice that Limon's clothes and pants had traces of fire. He found Xiya in the crowd. She was still holding the baby quietly. The people around her stood a little away from her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Yan beside him whispered to him: "Limon was also not clean about Xia Xia."
Lin Bai and Lou Tiannan walked back to the garage. Seeing Limon's appearance, he was quite satisfied. Peter still had some use for keeping him.
Seeing Lin Bai coming back, Xiya stood beside Lin Bai holding the doll. She was a little excited because she found that her own superpowers seemed to have become stronger.
Lou Tiannan stood in the garage, looking at the survivors, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Bai, Peter, and Limon, who participated in the fight, will not be given food tomorrow. If there are similar cases before we reach the safe zone, all supplies will be stopped."
Stopping supplies at the end of the world, isn’t that going to cost lives?
Limon's face became even uglier, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
Peter and Lin Bai also had no objection to Lou Tiannan's words, and the matter seemed to be resolved.
At night, heavy rain fell outside the garage, and ice particles hit the ground, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
To prevent attracting nearby zombies, the fire in the garage was quickly extinguished. As the night deepened, everyone in the garage hugged their blankets and fell asleep on the floor. The sounds of rain, snoring, and teeth grinding in sleep intertwined into a unique lullaby...
Xiya leaned against Lin Bai's arm and whispered to her, "Do you want Peter to be my father?"
"No."
Hearing the answer, Xiya felt relieved, rubbed Lin Bai's shoulder and closed her eyes.
In the darkness where no one could notice, Lin Bai turned the diamond crystal in his palm, polishing it on the file of the knife handle again and again.
It was early in the morning and the sky was still dark. Lou Tiannan came to change shifts. He glanced around and didn't see Lin Bai in the garage again. His brows furrowed, but when he saw Peter still snoring, his brows relaxed slightly.
"Where did Lin Bai go?" Lou Tiannan asked Lu Jia who was on guard.
Lu Jia pointed at the pickup truck. There was a person sitting in the back of the truck with her back to them. Lu Jia said, "She's putting on makeup in the truck."
Lou Tiannan: “…”
Perhaps noticing Lou Tiannan's confusion, Lu Jia whispered, "I also asked her why she wore makeup, and she said she wanted to be prepared to see her partner at any time."
Lou Tiannan could imagine the tone Lin Bai used when he said this, which must have been a lazy and half-playful tone.
In short, it would be best if she could live in peace.
That morning, the food everyone received was finally not potatoes, but biscuits and bread.
Lindbergh, Pitre, and Limon were given only a small bag of water.
Limon drank the water in one gulp, holding the bag with an angry expression, but he didn't dare to look for Lou Tiannan, nor could he beat Peter, and he didn't dare to provoke Lin Bai again. No one around him was willing to pay attention to him. His eyes fell on Xiya who was queuing up to get supplies.
After watching for less than two seconds, he saw Xiya sticking out her tongue at him and even making a fist.
He did not forget that it was this little girl whose fire from her palms burned his body last night. He quickly looked away and cursed silently.
"Xiya, this is yours." Wen Xia Xia gently put a piece of bread and a bag of water into Xiya's hands.
The weight of the bread was obviously wrong. She saw Wen Xia Xia winking at her, so she thanked Wen Xia Xia, took the bread and water and returned to Lin Bai.
Bread has a filling. Other people's filling is a thin layer of jam that is translucent, while hers is a piece of compressed biscuit.
"Mom, can Xiaohua's legs be repaired?" Xiya took the opportunity to pass the doll to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai took the doll and saw the compressed biscuits in the doll's belly. Xiya whispered, "Sister Xia Xia gave it to me."
Lin Bai took out the biscuits, but did not return the doll to Xiya. She fiddled with the doll up and down, looked at its broken leg, searched the crowd, and headed towards Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was talking to Zhu Liang and was a little surprised to see Lin Bai coming to him.
"You owe me a grenade." Lin Bai said.
Zhou Yu: "..." He couldn't understand why this was blamed on him.
It was dinner time, and Zhou Yu thought Lin Bai was hungry and wanted to eat, so he didn't think much about it. He took out a pack of biscuits from his pocket and gave it to her, "Can I return this to you?"
Lin Bai shook his head. "Give me two pieces of metal. I want one with high density and good ductility."
"Metal?" Zhou Yu didn't expect Lin Bai to want this, but it was not a difficult task for him. He concentrated for a moment, and a piece of metal appeared in his palm. Lin Bai took it in his hand, weighed it, and threw it back in disgust, "This won't do."
"Okay, let's try again." Zhou Yu condensed another piece.
It was rejected again.
After three times in a row, Zhou Yu was a little confused: "What's wrong with this part?"
Lin Bai's hand went straight to his chest. The cool temperature made Zhou Yu almost jump up and screamed, "What are you doing!"
Zhu Liang was also stunned when he saw Lin Bai's actions.
"Use the energy here and do it again."
Lin Bai's hands were very cold, but it was easy for Zhou Yu to find the place Lin Bai mentioned. After using his supernatural power again in the direction Lin Bai pointed, he was a little surprised to see the shiny metal emerging from the palm of his hand.
When Lou Tiannan turned his head, he saw Lin Bai's hand on Zhou Yu's chest. His brows furrowed again. This Beta is really restless!
Before Zhou Yu could take another good look at the piece of metal, Lin Bai took it away. Lin Bai took his hand back and said to him, "There's another piece."
Zhou Yu recalled the feeling just now and condensed another piece of metal. Lin Bai put the two pieces of metal together, glanced at Zhou Yu, and left.
That look was very complicated, at least that's how it seemed to Zhou Yu. He asked Zhu Liang suspiciously, "Brother Liang, was she scolding me with that look just now?"
Yes, I'm calling you stupid.
Zhu Liang covered his mouth and coughed twice, then changed the subject: "The metal you condensed just now seems a little different..."
Zhou Yu's attention was easily diverted. He was even a little excited: "Really! It's completely different from the metal I condensed before! I can feel it!"
Zhu Liang watched Zhou Yu gesticulating and telling him that his superpowers seemed to have become stronger. He looked at his empty palms, and a trace of sadness flashed through his heart.
The weather has been bad from last night to this morning. At eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark and the sun was tightly covered by layers of dark clouds.
Lou Tiannan waited for a long time. The sky was gloomy and it was drizzling.
Seeing that the morning was almost halfway through and there was no time to delay, Lou Tiannan decided to let everyone get in the car and set off again.
The temperature in the carriage was very low and everyone huddled together. Xiya sat next to Lin Bai. She felt a little uncomfortable without the doll in her hand, so she just fiddled with the compressed biscuits that Lin Bai handed to her again.
"Eat it."
A voice sounded beside me.
"You don't want to eat?"
"kindness."
Xiya hesitated for a long time, but finally listened to Lin Bai and ate the biscuits. She was easily hungry after her superpowers awakened, especially since she had used them last night. Lin Bai concentrated on polishing the metal he had taken from Zhou Yu.
Her short blade was very sharp and could cut through iron like mud.
Everyone in the car silently kept a distance from her, fearing that they would become a piece of metal in her hand if they were not careful.
Xiya watched Lin Bai grind the piece of metal into the shape of a leg bit by bit, with surprise in her eyes.
She never thought that Lin Bai could repair dolls.
She found this doll in a garbage dump after she lost her loved ones. It has been with her until now and has a special meaning to her.
While escaping in the apocalypse, she accidentally broke the doll's leg and was sad for a long time.
Before the supplies were distributed at noon, Xiya received a doll with repaired legs. The broken legs were replaced by metal by Lin Bai. Not only could the leg joints move freely, but they could also be pulled out separately to make a small dagger. The combination of silver-white metal and the doll's sebum material was strange and harmonious.
"Amazing!" Xiya was overjoyed. She held the doll and looked it up and down. The doll's simulated eyes swayed slightly as Xiya examined it. Xiya loved it so much. "Thank you." She looked at Lin Bai happily and said again, "Thank you, Mom."
