Chapter 23 Experimental Spring Water
Resisting the urge to reach out, he helped Lu Ming open all the packages. Just as he was about to pour the green bottle of mineral water into the box to heat the rice, he was stopped by Lu Ming.
She yelled, "Hey, you're wasting it! This water is high-end stuff. I only have a small amount. I'm giving it to you to drink, not to heat up your food!"
Then he took out two bottles of ordinary mineral water and handed them to Gu Chao.
Gu Chao took it and returned the green water to Lu Ming: "Then you keep it for yourself, I can drink anything."
Lu Ming glared and said, "I have more. It's specially reserved for you! If you don't want to drink it, forget it!" He pretended to take it back.
Gu Chao didn't know why he didn't hear anything else, but he heard the words "specially reserved for you". His heart moved and he quickly withdrew his hand, "Drink!"
Then I carefully put it aside and started to prepare the rice.
The two of them finished their meal, rested for a while, and prepared to continue.
Gu Chao took the water in his hand, feeling reluctant to part with it. Under pressure from Lu Ming's gaze, he opened the bottle and took a sip.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the water was particularly sweet, different from any water I had drunk before. I couldn’t help but gulp it down.
He found that after drinking the water, all his fatigue disappeared and he felt as if he had drunk a box of Red Bull. He strongly suspected that what he drank was not water, but a tonic soup.
A flash of doubt flashed across his eyes, but he didn't ask anything. He just kept it in mind.
In order to prevent Gu Chao from getting suspicious, Lu Ming also took out a bottle of ordinary green water and took a sip. While drinking, he secretly observed Gu Chao to see if there was anything wrong with him.
Gu Chao saw that she had also drunk it and asked her, "Do you feel anything special after drinking this water?"
Lu Ming pretended to be confused: "No, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Chao shook his head hesitantly, "No."
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Well, this trick is reliable. I will give it to others to drink when I get back.
So, after cleaning up a chemistry laboratory, a small supermarket, and a sports equipment store, Lu Ming quietly distributed water to them. However, since he didn't know what would happen if those with special powers drank it, he gave ordinary water to the two people with special powers.
Gu Chao came up to get the form, ready to count the supplies again and plan how much each person should be given when the army arrives tomorrow.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Lu Ming say, "Drink it quickly! I saved it especially for you!"
Then came Li Hangyuan's shy voice, "Thank you then."
Lu Ming replied: "Why are you being polite? We are teammates now!"
Gu Chao: “…” Tsk, why does this sound so familiar?
Gu Chao had an expressionless face. He pushed the door open and saw Lu Ming sitting next to Li Hangyuan. He handed him the empty little green bottle. Lu Ming reached out to take it and put it away.
Seeing Gu Chao coming in, she smiled and waved at him, "Hey? Is everything okay down there?"
Gu Chao paused and said calmly, "I'll come up to get something."
"oh."
Before leaving, he stared at Li Hangyuan, making his hair stand on end.
Gu Chao went downstairs and met Yan Song on the way. Yan Song asked quietly, "Boss, have you asked Sister Lu Ming for water?"
Gu Chao paused and asked, "What kind of water?"
"It's a little green bottle. She said it's imported. You know what, these imported ones taste good."
He stared at Yan Song again, "Are you free?"
Yan Song sensed something was wrong and ran away quickly. "Hey, I remembered I have something else to do, so I'll leave first, Boss."
Gu Chao stood there, his eyes dim, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped by one degree.
At night, Cheng Ming was keeping watch outside.
Lu Ming struggled for a long time over whether or not to bring him water.
If nothing else, Cheng Ming, the old fox, would definitely notice something, and she didn't want to arouse his further suspicion.
But if I don't give it to him, it would seem like I'm treating him differently, and it would be even weirder if other people found out.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and went out.
Cheng Ming heard footsteps, turned around and saw it was Lu Ming, and was a little surprised.
Lu Ming said nothing, sat down next to him, took out a bottle of water and handed it to him.
Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled, then took it.
He unscrewed the bottle and took a sip. "Who is this water reserved for?"
Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then realized that he seemed to have said this to everyone.
Cheng Ming felt the sweetness in his mouth and couldn't help but take another sip.
Lu Ming was too lazy to answer, wondering who she was doing this for. She snorted and urged him, "You talk too much. Drink quickly."
Cheng Ming drank it all in one breath, handed the bottle back, and wanted to say something when he saw Lu Ming stand up and leave.
Cheng Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
He had doubts about her, and she seemed to know it, but she continued to do her own thing and never did anything special to dispel his suspicions. Instead, she revealed more and more of her doubts.
He looked at the door that had just closed and thought silently, I hope you won't let us down.

The next day, they heard that the army would be arriving soon, so they did not go looking for supplies in the morning. Instead, they found five school buses, two campus buses, and several teachers' cars to assist the army in evacuating.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, a light armored vehicle and a medium transport vehicle rumbled in from outside.
The armored vehicle kept repeating a broadcast, which roughly said that City N had fallen due to the zombie virus, and the army was now organizing the survivors to evacuate along the designated route. They hoped that the survivors would muster up the courage to rush to the gathering point on their own. The convoy would wait at the gate of the university town until three o'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Chao and Cheng Ming both frowned secretly, which meant that the army would not go into the building to search and rescue.
The situation must be very grim, so there is no extra manpower.
The students were extremely excited. After being trapped here for so many days, they were finally rescued.
They blindly believed that since the army had come out, they would be able to counterattack the city quickly and restore order.
However, they don’t think about the fact that out of more than 10,000 people in the school, only one or two thousand survived, and these are all young and strong college students. If this ratio is applied to the entire city, how many people will be left alive?
The garrison in a war zone is only a few hundred thousand, and they have to take care of several large cities in the surrounding area. How can they clear out millions of zombies?
Gu Chao and Cheng Ming took the lead, directing the students to evacuate in groups, distributing a supply package to each person who left.
There are water, instant noodles, ham and chocolate; or different combinations of water, compressed biscuits, boiled eggs, chocolate, etc., randomly divided according to the combination of water, dry food, meat products, and high calories. One pack can be eaten for about three days.
Cheng Ming saw the armored vehicle parked outside and stepped forward to negotiate with the leader.
A moment later, five soldiers came down to help maintain order and asked the students to get on the buses. Two of the soldiers got on the leading bus, and the vehicles behind followed and drove out in a mighty procession.
Cheng Ming walked over with a serious expression. "They don't know the specific situation. They just received an emergency order from the headquarters. The situation looks very bad, and there is no way to contact other places."
Gu Chao's heart sank, and he couldn't help but think of the text message sent by the leader before he got on the helicopter.
Don't return to Beijing, stay alive!
