Susceptible period
Lin Bai had no interest in food. Food and water were of little use to her, but in order not to attract attention, she also took two pieces of bread in her hands.
She was more concerned about changing the concealer and lipstick she had on hand.
What she had on hand were some she had picked up from the mall before. She had only taken two bottles because the makeup store was severely damaged and the colors of the concealer and lipstick left were not very suitable. Now was a good chance to replace them.
In order to make this body look like a failed bionic human, in addition to some accessories being deliberately not made well, there are also many detailed flaws on her face. They are not obvious from a distance, but cannot withstand close scrutiny.
Before, she didn't need to care about these things when she was alone, but now that she is following the federal army, she needs to use cosmetics such as concealer and foundation to cover up the blemishes on her face. She is not afraid of being discovered, but if she is discovered, she will need to deal with the trouble. She hates trouble. Besides, she also likes to put on makeup, and it is not bad to change her face every day.
Her fingers flicked across each concealer tube, then suddenly stopped. Sweetheart Cream? This shade looked quite suitable, and the twist-on design made it much more convenient than opening and closing the lid. After trying the shade, Lin Bai was satisfied and bought all the bottles.
Next is the lipstick. There are many more colors of lipstick than concealer, such as rose, cherry, berry, cinnamon, date paste, hawthorn red... They all look good and smell nice. Lin Bai picked up one of each.
Lou Tiannan glanced at Lin Bai's movements from the corner of his eye, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Can this woman understand what is going on?!
You didn't take the clothes or the education books, but you took a bunch of cosmetics?!
Even got a bottle of perfume beads?!
Did she think she was on vacation?
Lou Tiannan lowered his brows, narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath with great restraint, and told himself that this had nothing to do with him and it was not his business.
"Xiya, here are some reading books. I got them specially for you." Zhou Yu, who had offended Xiya, was holding a few books to "make amends." He was also hoping that Lin Bai would teach him how to improve his supernatural powers, but he couldn't let Xiya get angry with him.
Xiya was short and didn't dare to stay too far away from Lin Bai, so she didn't notice that there were books inside. She was a little surprised when she saw the books. She knew that Zhou Yu was not a bad person, and now he specially got books for her. She quickly took the books, thanked him obediently, and there was no anger on her face anymore.
Zhou Yu was very happy. Now that the small thing was done, it would not be a problem to deal with Lin Bai later!
However, when he turned around and saw all the cosmetics Lin Bai was holding, he was a little surprised. "Lin Bai, what are you doing with so many lipsticks?"
"Use them." Lin Bai even found a shoulder bag and put the cosmetics in it one by one.
Looking at the bulging bag, Lou Tiannan looked away, his face stern. He said in a deep voice, "We'll leave in three minutes."
Zhou Yu shook his shoulders and asked Lu Jia beside him: "Xiao Lu, do you feel a little cold?"
Lu Jia nodded in agreement. For some reason, it seemed that Captain Lou's face was a little darker than usual.
…
The car soon drove back onto the road. Many survivors in the car were eating. They got food from the supermarket. This is how the end of the world is. It is safer to eat food as soon as possible.
Xiya reads a book and learns to read in the car.
Peter sat down next to Lin Bai, took out a can of sugar water from his pocket and handed it to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, I brought this specially for you."
Ever since taking X112 alkali, Peter has consciously become Lin Bai's follower. Lin Bai doesn't mention the antidote, and he doesn't dare to mention it either. Others don't know the inside story, but they only know that Peter has always been sticking with Lin Bai, and tacitly acknowledge that they are having an affair. However, because of the blindness in front of them, no one dares to say anything to Lin Bai.
Furthermore, in the apocalypse, more and more people are living together. Omegas have become a precious resource, and Betas have also become sought after. If they really can't find one, two Alphas can sleep in the same bed. The others have long been accustomed to Peter and Lin Bai "living together", but they are a little envious of the can of sugar water.
Lin Bai didn't care what others said. She reached out to take the can and threw it into the arms of Xiya, who was learning to read, and said, "Eat it and have fun."
Xiya has long been accustomed to Lin Bai feeding her.
The few days she spent with Lin Bai were the days when she had the most satisfying meals, the best meals and the most peace of mind in the last days of her life.
She was not hungry now, so she took the can and put it into the small bag beside her. She was carrying two bags on her back, one was hers and the other was Lin Bai's. She was very happy that Lin Bai asked her to take care of the bag.
After giving the cans, Peter sat aside silently and acted like a mute. He knew that even if he talked to Lin Bai again, Lin Bai would not pay attention to him. It would be better for him to be a sensible person. When he thought of the X112 alkali in his stomach, he could only suppress his anxiety.
I have to think about how to get Lin Bai to give him the antidote...
Just as he was thinking, his eyes flashed. A middle-aged man in his forties moved to Lin Bai's side. He had a square face and looked very honest. He spoke to Lin Bai in a low voice: "My name is Hu Dingguo. I heard that you are also a family member of the military region. So am I. My child is a member of the Senate. What about you? What does your family member do?"
"A garbage collector." Lin Bai said calmly.
Hu Dingguo smiled. "You really know how to joke." Seeing that Lin Bai didn't seem to want to answer, he tactfully stopped asking and explained his purpose. "I don't mean anything else. I saw your child learning to read. I happened to be a teacher before. Do you want me to teach her? It's been so long since the apocalypse. I haven't seen a child this big in a long time..."
He was very sad when he said the last sentence, his eyes still red: "I don't know if I will have the chance to teach children to read again in the future."
Lin Bai leaned back against the carriage, glanced at him and said, "If you want to teach her, go ask her, don't ask me."
Hu Dingguo seemed to have not expected Lin Bai to be so difficult to deal with, and said, "Since you are her mother, I will ask for your opinion first..."
When Peter saw Lin Bai close his eyes, he almost knew what Lin Bai was going to say next because of this familiar expression. He silently mouthed, "Don't bother me."
"Don't bother me."
Look.
Peter turned over and muttered to himself: She doesn't care whether your child is a member of parliament or a minister. Just be quiet when you should be quiet.
But Hu Dingguo seemed to really want to teach Xiya to read and write. Seeing that Lin Bai ignored him, he quietly asked Xiya if she was willing to let him teach her to read.
Xiya nodded hesitantly. She did have difficulty learning to read, and she didn't want to disturb Zhou Yu, Song Yan and others who were on guard duty in the car. Seeing that Hu Dingguo wanted to be her teacher, she was not sure about Lin Bai's thoughts, but she agreed anyway.
Having a teacher to teach her is indeed much easier.
In just one afternoon, Xiya had learned to recognize the characters in half a book. Their teaching attracted quite a few onlookers. After all, the apocalypse was a rare sight, and their gazes were mostly friendly, nostalgic, and filled with sadness...
Soon someone in the car started praying to Aurora again.
Lou Tiannan leaned over to take a look at the situation in the transport truck's compartment, and felt slightly satisfied. However, when he caught a glimpse of Lin Bai, who was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, oblivious to what was happening outside, his breath became blocked. He simply withdrew his gaze. The more he looked, the angrier he became, so he simply stopped looking.
Today's journey was relatively smooth. The convoy arrived at the outer ring of West District 1 earlier than expected. Lou Tiannan and his men found a warehouse as a temporary base and issued a notice that the convoy would stay here for at least 24 hours for exploration purposes.
Passing through West District 1 is an unavoidable route. As long as you pass West District 1, you will be very close to the safe zone in the east. As the team leader, he must do his best to ensure the greatest safety of the people.
As soon as Zhou Yu and Lu Jia got out of the car, they inspected the corners of the warehouse and strengthened the defense line.
At night, a strong wind blew in the sky and it started to snow. The sound of wind and snow whistled into the warehouse.
"Oh! What a horrible weather!" someone cursed.
Who says it isn’t? It was so hot in the afternoon that I wanted to take off all my clothes, and then it snowed heavily in the evening.
The temperature kept rising and falling, and those with weaker constitutions couldn't bear it, and coughing sounds were heard in the warehouse.
Others avoided him like the plague. No one wanted to get sick at this critical moment. After all, the safe zone was just around the corner.
Zhu Liang, who had some medical knowledge, examined the two sick people, gave them some medicine to take, and told them to rest assured.
"Deputy Captain Zhu, I will be fine soon, I will be fine soon!" One of them tried his best to assure Zhu Liang, fearing that he would be left behind.
"Me too, me too!" Another person was not to be outdone.
"Don't worry, we won't abandon anyone," Zhu Liang reassured them calmly. As the deputy captain, Zhu Liang, 30 years old, was the most stable member of the team and had a high level of credibility.
Hearing him say this, the two sick people felt relieved.
Lin Bai was in no mood to listen to such fake words. She leaned on her hands and looked at Xiya who was doing push-ups beside her. She patted her back lazily and said, "Get down a little."
Xiya adjusted her posture with trembling arms, and was still reciting the words and sentences she had learned today, looking very hardworking.
Lin Bai glanced around boredly. Zhu Liang had already left, and the survivors were huddled together, holding their clothes and taking a nap.
"Captain Lou, I'll take someone to the pharmacy tomorrow. Your susceptible period is within these two days, so it's better not to take any risks."
Lin Bai paused blinking, susceptible period?
She supported herself with her hands, pretending to watch Xiya exercise, but in fact she was listening carefully to the conversation coming from the mini button eavesdropper in her ear.
Zhu Liang's calm voice echoed in his ears: "Zhou Yu is right, Tiannan, once you reach your susceptible period, your abilities will be extremely unstable. You can't take any risks. Tomorrow I will take people to look for inhibitors. I've been to the pharmacy in West District 1 before, and I'm more familiar with the route than you."
"West District 1 is extremely dangerous, and you don't have any special abilities." Lou Tiannan's low voice clearly showed disapproval.
"Even without superpowers, I'm still the vice-captain of Team Three."
There was silence in his ears for a few seconds, and then Lin Bai heard Lou Tiannan's compromising voice: "According to your arrangement."
