Chapter 340 Lack of Crystal Core
"Boss Xia, when did you come here?"
Qi Hua and Sang Zhengyi spoke at the same time.
Both of them sounded surprised. They always thought that Boss Xia's relationship with everyone was just ordinary. When had they ever seen her take the initiative to approach a customer?
Qi Hua looked at Lin calmly.
How did she do it? Did she exchange some information with Boss Xia?
Xia Yan smiled and said, "I just came over. Sit down and talk."
There were only four chairs at the communal dining table. Wang Xuewei picked up her plate and said she was full.
Make room.
After the two sat down, they had originally planned to take the initiative, but were silenced by Xia Yan's sudden appearance.
Lin looked at Sang Zhengyi, stood up and extended her hand, "Captain Sang, my name is Lin."
Sang Zhengyi gave a standard smile, shook his hands lightly, and then separated.
"I just heard Xiao Qi's introduction. Do you want to join our team?"
Sang Zhengyi still took the initiative to ask and glanced at Xia Yan.
Lin nodded, "Yes, the reason is because I have no crystal cores left, otherwise I wouldn't go out."
Hearing her say this, Xia Yan couldn't help but look at her, and an imperceptible light flashed in his deep eyes.
Sang Zhengyi cleared his throat.
Qi Hua picked up the phone naturally, "Aunt Lin, you should know that our team is very weak, and the risks of going out are greater than other teams. Can you tell me why you chose us?"
This topic also interested Xia Yan.
She was eating behind the front desk just now. When she had nothing to do, she strolled around and opened the control background of Lidai Island. There were 360-degree surveillance cameras in every corner that could record sounds.
She opened the monitoring interface to check, and suddenly a light blue virtual screen appeared in front of her eyes. All the camera images were neatly arranged like a wall.
Each lens can be stretched and enlarged individually, and there is a sound icon in the lower right corner.
Just then, she noticed that on the surveillance screen in the lower right corner, there was a woman with her hands clenched, taking two steps forward hesitantly, looking among the crowd, then turning her back, lowering her head and sitting motionless on the dining chair.
His behavior is very suspicious.
Xia Yan frowned slightly, closed the current interface, clicked on the monitoring interface of the person being monitored, selected maximize, and the picture instantly occupied all the space, then turned on the sound.
The sounds of cooking in the shared kitchen, the chatter of people picking vegetables at the next table, and the sound of waves crashing on the beach not far away all came out at once.
Through the high-quality and delicate display, Xia Yan could see the new white hair on her head and the small freckles on the tip of her nose.
Xia Yan didn't recognize who she was at first.
At this time, Qi Hua and Sang Zhengyi appeared in the screen. They sat at the table behind her and chatted in low voices.
The woman in front remained motionless until she heard them say they were going to the park to pick chestnuts and walnuts in the afternoon. Then she slowly straightened her back and revealed her face.
It’s Lin!
Xia Yan was surprised. Why was it her?
The scene continued, Qi Hua and Sang Zhengyi stood up and left one after another. Lin then turned around to look at their backs, clenched her fists, and stood up as well, but left in another direction.
Xia Yan closed the interface and found her figure among the many pictures. He discovered that she stepped through the resort gate and completely disappeared from the surveillance footage of Lidai Island.
She fell into deep thought.
I had promised Fu Niang before that I would not tell Lin about this until she had thought it through and contacted Xiao Wan.
Although, Lin, who is unaware of the situation, is still deeply trapped in the painful memories of losing her daughter, which is very pitiful.
Xia Yan didn't know what she wanted to talk to Sang Zhengyi about. It couldn't be that she wanted to join and go out to kill zombies and save crystal cores, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Lin coming out of the elevator with a box lunch and disappeared behind the resort door without looking around.
Through the monitoring background, Xia Yan discovered that she found a table in the corner and sat down. She opened the lid of the lunch box and found that there was still half of the lunch box left.
Lin ate the rice almost grain by grain with chopsticks, slowly and carefully.
I wish I could grind this grain of rice into pieces with my teeth!
Xia Yan suddenly thought - could it be that Lin has no crystal core?
The background can indeed see the balance of everyone's points card, but she will never take the initiative to look at anyone's information.
Firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, when there are no points in the card, the system will naturally remind her.
There must be something wrong with Lin.
Xia Yan opened the hotel backend, found the information of the guests staying in the hotel, quickly searched for Lin, and the information box popped up the next second.
After a quick scan, she found the balance column.
310 points left.
...
Xia Yan looked at Lin who was standing beside him with her hands clasped together, and was indeed very curious.
Lin lacks crystal cores. Compared with other teams, Sang Zhengyi's team is indeed far behind in overall strength. Why didn't she look for a stronger team?
After all, everyone's impression of Lin is that she is selfish, aloof, and has a weird personality.
Sadness flashed across Lin's eyes, and the curve of her lips was exactly the same as Fu Niang's.
She scanned the surroundings with this look, looking into the eyes of those who were curious.
She whispered, "Because you are good people."
"Of all the teams, you're the only ones who truly help the weak."
"Perhaps I've seen too much darkness, and unknowingly even my own heart has been stained by it. From the day you arrived, I've been disdainful of your actions, believing that one day you'll fall hard and be stabbed in the heart and lungs by the survivors you're protecting."
"I've been watching, not with anticipation, nor with fear. But I was wrong. You've persevered through it all, and your subordinates are more than I expected. They all know how to repay a favor, and they're united as a team. You're all getting better and better."
"I once swore that I would never join someone's team, would never fall into danger again, and would patiently wait for my daughter to return. But I'm out of crystal cores, and there are only 300 points left on my card. Even eating is difficult."
Lin suddenly choked up. "My child is everything to me. I can give up everything and endure any hardship, but I have to wait for her here. I'm most worried that one day when she comes back, she won't be able to find her home anymore! She'll be scared..."
This was the first time she revealed her inner vulnerability in front of outsiders.
She closed her eyes in pain, clutched her hair tightly with both hands, and let out a whimper that had been suppressed for a long time.
"You found your sister, but I couldn't find my daughter."
"If I get closer to you, will you share some of your good fortune with me?"
Lin's daughter is Fu Niang.
Xia Yan's face showed sadness. He stroked her back with one hand, looked at the two of them, and confirmed for her, "Lin does have a daughter. She also asked me to post a missing person notice before."
She looked down at Lin and whispered comfortingly, "There will be news. She will come back to you one day."
Sang Zhengyi and Qi Hua finally let down their guard.
They suddenly understood why Lin was hostile to everyone - she had lost her only and most important relative, and every day she spent in the apocalypse was like a thorn stuck in her heart.
