"Lin Cheng, please say something! What are you looking at?" Nan Ming saw that Lin Cheng was silent for a while and began to doubt his purpose. What on earth was he doing here? Was he just here to watch the fun?
Lu Youzhuo was also looking at him, then looked at his helicopter curiously, not knowing what he was looking at.
Lin Cheng withdrew his gaze calmly. "Mr. Lu, this helicopter is quite impressive. It must be quite fuel-efficient, right?"
Nan Ming: “…”
Lu Youzhuo: “…”
Lu Youzhuo said: "It's good, you are here to stop me too?"
"Mr. Lu wants to leave, and Chief Nan certainly can't keep him. But after such a big incident, shouldn't Mr. Lu give an explanation?"
After hearing this, Nan Ming felt relieved. Lin Cheng was on his side, and it was worth his enthusiasm towards him these days.
Lu Youzhuo looked at Lin Cheng with a deep gaze, then said with a smile, "How come I didn't know what happened? Xiaolin, when did you take charge of the Nanming base?"
Lu Youzhuo and Lin Zhongrong had fought together in the past, one on the front line and the other in the rear. Both were well-known figures in the zombie era. Lin Cheng was Lin Zhongrong's junior and subordinate, so naturally he could be considered Lu Youzhuo's junior. But when he called out "Little Lin" at this time, it seemed like he was trying to put others down by using their seniority.
Lin Cheng looked at him calmly, as if he didn't mind at all: "I'm a guest at Chief Nan's place. Such a big thing happened to him, I can't just stand by and watch, right?" As he spoke, his eyes were focused on the helicopter. This bold girl, why don't you leave quickly?
Lin Man, however, was scratching his hair on the back of the helicopter: "Ahhh, he found me! He saw me!"
Guan Guan said, "Who told you to stick your head out?"
"If you hadn't told me that Lin Cheng was here, I wouldn't have gone to see what was going on. Who would have thought that I would be caught red-handed?" Lin Man scratched her hair silently, listened carefully to the movement over there, and was ready to enter the space at any time, but found that Lin Cheng didn't seem to have the intention of exposing her. Instead, he started talking to those people about other things.
She couldn't help but feel relieved. This Lin Cheng was such a good man. He actually helped her conceal the truth. She had misunderstood him as a bad person before. It was really wrong of her.
Lin Man calmed down and looked at the huge iron lump in front of him: "Guan Guan, tell me quickly, where is this guy's weakness?"
"How could I possibly know? Who should I ask if you ask me?"
Lin Man saw that this thing was very large, heavy, and thick. She could not damage it in a short time and in absolute silence. However, she also knew that even the most powerful machine had its weak points or extremely critical parts. If there was a problem in those places, the stability of the entire structure would be affected.
Lin Man was unwilling to let Lu Youjie and the others leave like this. She was unwilling not because she wanted to avenge those who died tonight, but because she really didn't like their way of killing people without restraint.
And because I happened to run into this matter.
She had just had a fight with Lu Youjie and his not very capable subordinates two days ago, and as soon as Lu Youjie woke up, he attacked Du Chun and the others. It was hard for Lin Man to tell whether this was because Zhang Chengtao had done something stupid or because of her own reasons.
Regardless of whether it was her fault or not, she couldn't swallow the fact that she had to watch these people escape unscathed. The thrill of being chased was still vivid in her mind!
She had no choice and no ability to fight back, so she could only tamper with their helicopters. It would be best if they fell in the middle of the flight, so that no one could help them. That would be satisfying!
But the problem is that she doesn't understand the structure of a helicopter.
She picked at the seams of the steel sheets on the outside of the fuselage, unsure whether drilling a hole there would have any impact on the overall shape of this huge thing. After searching for a long time, she could only focus on the blades on top of the helicopter. If that place was broken, the helicopter would definitely not be able to fly.
Lin Man stared at the place, and sent out a strand of mental power to wrap around it, exploring the central structure there to see if it could be destroyed. However, he found that it was unlikely to work.
She was a little anxious. Lin Cheng and the others had been talking for a while. If this continued, she would be exposed! She had no choice but to use all her spiritual energy and mental power, turning them into strands as thin as a hair, and cutting at the base of one of the blades.
This was a rather difficult task. First, one had to straighten his spiritual and mental powers, making them as sharp as a knife. Lin Man worked himself into a sweat, and only after gathering all his strength could he keep his breathing steady. "Guan Guan, Guan Guan, can you lend me some spiritual power?"
Guan Guan said, "Sure, but don't you still need to save your spiritual power to research how to heal people so that you can help your mother heal her illness?"
"You can absorb it slowly tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and over the next few days. The situation is urgent now, so you can lend me some first and absorb it back in space. If we encounter a battle with a superpowered person in the future, I will rush to the front and let you absorb it. I will return it to you anyway."
Guan Guan didn't say anything. Of course, it was willing to help with such a small favor. The next moment, Lin Man felt that the spiritual power in his hands had increased a lot, so he increased the intensity of the cutting.
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
The cutting was silent, but Lin Man seemed to hear a pleasant sound. She had cut about a quarter of the way through, and she hesitated whether to continue. If she cut more, they would definitely not ride the helicopter if they were discovered. But if she cut less, what if the helicopter was too sturdy and didn't break down after reaching its destination? And there were five blades on it, so who knew if losing one would not affect anything?
Lin Man thought about it and started cutting the paddle blade with a crackling sound.
Lin Cheng was a little anxious. Why didn’t the little girl leave yet? He could not hold on any longer.
Forget it, I'm here and I won't let her suffer any loss. Lu Youzhuo could kill so many people without giving any explanation. Do I need his approval to save one person?
But just as he was thinking this, a figure finally appeared from the back of the helicopter. She glanced over here quickly, and then while no one was paying attention, she quietly disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, finally willing to leave. He had been worried that Lin Man's intention was to leave with Lu Youzhuo and the others, so as long as she was willing to leave, that was all. Lin Cheng noticed that she made no sound as she walked on the ground, and her presence was extremely low. Otherwise, there were several experts here, and it was impossible that none of them could have noticed her.
Lin Man didn't run too far. He found a place to hide and calm his breath, and at the same time let his head, which was a little dizzy due to using too much mental energy, calm down.
She felt that Lin Cheng would definitely come to find her, and since he had kept her secret, she had to thank him in person. She waited for a while, patted her head, and realized that she was waiting for him here, but Lin Cheng didn't know she was here, so it was all in vain.
At this time, the sound of rotating blades was heard, and a large helicopter slowly rose in the dark night and flew towards the distance. Lin Man thought secretly, it must fall, it must fall, but until it flew out of his sight, it was still steady, without any signs of losing control.
Lin Man's shoulders slumped a little, and he felt a little disappointed.
"You are still here." Lin Cheng's voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Man turned around and saw her, and couldn't help laughing. Maybe it was because he helped her, when she saw this person again, she no longer had the previous suspicion and hostility. Instead, she felt strangely friendly, like a comrade in the same camp.
She walked over a few steps and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, thank you for what you did just now. If you had yelled at me just now, I would have been finished."
She could hide in the space, but if someone cordoned off that area, she would have to hide in the space forever.
Seeing her happy face, Lin Cheng seemed to have no idea how dangerous her actions were. "You also know that being discovered would be dangerous, so why did you hide there?"
Lin Man touched his arm and said, "The people they sent out almost killed me. I want to ask them for some interest."
Her arm was hastily wrapped in a bandage, blood seeping through it, staining the originally darker bandage almost black. Lin Cheng held her hand and looked at it. "Is the injury serious?"
Lin Man was a little puzzled. Why did this man just start fighting? She retracted her hand: "It's just a minor injury, no big deal."
Lin Cheng glanced at her and said seriously, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Lin Man raised his brows but didn't move. Being grateful to him for not exposing her was one thing, but expecting her to follow him casually was impossible.
She wasn't stupid. What if he tried to trick her into leaving in the middle of the night? She knew she was no match for Lin Cheng. Even if she was lucky, or even caught him by surprise, she probably wouldn't be able to beat him with one hand.
Seeing the alertness in the girl's eyes again, Lin Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Your name is Lin Man, right?"
Well, this must be because she has met Du Chun and Du Qiu. She nodded honestly: "My name is Lin Man, but when I go out, it is more convenient to use a pseudonym. I didn't mean to lie to you."
It was intentional, and the one being deceived was you.
Lin Cheng didn't expose her lie, and said indifferently, "Then why didn't you also make up a fake name when you were talking to Chen Hua'an and Min Jian?"
Lin Man was surprised: "You know these two?"
She suddenly understood: "Did you hear about me from them?" So it was true that this person was targeting her, but it was not because of the sweet potatoes. The root of the problem lay with those two people.
How could she have thought of this at that time? Now the land is vast and the population is sparse, and it is impossible to check the household registration. What is the difference between a real name and a fake name? If she hadn't suspected that Lin Cheng had set his sights on him, she wouldn't have suddenly come up with a fake name.
She asked, "What did they say about me? Did they ask you to come to me? What do you want to do with me?"
Lin Cheng said, "I heard about you from them, but they weren't the ones who asked me to find you. But before I answer your question, I want to ask you one more question. Is your mother's name Chen Yu?"
Lin Man was even more surprised and took a step back cautiously: "How do you know? Do you know her?" Is she a relative on my mother's side? No! "Your last name is Lin, could it be you?"
Lin Cheng smiled. It seemed that his nearly two-month mission could be successfully completed.
He said softly, "My commander is Lin Zhongrong, and I'm here to see you on his orders."
Lin Man took a deep breath. Lin Zhongrong, this name was not unfamiliar to her. This was the name of her father, whom she had never seen since birth.
She was stunned for a moment, then said in confusion, "He's still alive? He asked you to come find me? How did he know about me? Did Chen Hua'an and Min Jing tell him? But how did they know me, just based on a name? But my mother gave me my name."
Logically speaking, it is impossible for her father to know her name.
Lin Cheng's smile deepened. "This isn't the place to talk. Come to my place and I'll explain everything to you. Well, the commander is still waiting for news, so you can talk to him directly when the time comes." Lin Cheng paused. "By the way, if I may ask, is Mrs. Lin still alive?"
"Of course I am."
Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good.
By the time she arrived at Lin Cheng's place, Lin Man already knew the identity of the man who was said to be her father. Lin Zhongrong, one of the leaders of the Tuanyuan Base, was also the most powerful person in the entire base. He held a high position and great power, and was said to be an extremely powerful person.
Lin Man didn't act happy or surprised. He was still a little confused. Ever since she was little, she had always longed for her father. Especially when she and her mother were having a hard time, when they were on the verge of dying, they always hoped that a father would come down from the sky to protect them, give them food, drink, clothes, and other necessities, and let them live a better life.
She had waited for over a decade, but that father had never appeared. She had been disappointed so many times that she no longer felt anything. And now, she had forgotten how long it had been since she'd thought of that man. Because she had her own space, she no longer had to worry about food and drink, and she could afford to change her clothes and use everything else that others could have.
She had relied on herself, or perhaps luck, to change the fate of herself and her mother. Life would get better and better in the future, but then her father suddenly appeared. It was hard for her to feel particularly happy. Rather than feeling surprised, she felt more bewildered. After all, he was a person who existed only in her imagination and had no emotions.
But if he is really the father, the mother will probably be very happy.
She sat in Lin Cheng's room, somewhat dazed, next to the boxy, multi-button communication device, waiting to call her father, who was thousands of miles away. Lin Cheng took out a medical kit and applied some medicine to her. "We don't have a healer with us, so we can only give you some medicine. It'll be a little painful, so bear with it."
"Oh, thank you." Lin Man watched him wipe her wound with a white cotton swab soaked in alcohol. His hands were steady, pinching and disinfecting it neatly. But Lin Man was paying attention: "Is cotton still grown in the north?"
Otherwise, where did this cotton ball come from?
"Yes, but the cultivated area is very limited, and the cotton we harvest is basically invested in medical treatment." Lin Cheng explained, "It's not easy to synthesize medicines nowadays, mainly because the raw materials are too scarce. If you are injured, it is best to use supernatural powers to treat it, and secondly, to disinfect it thoroughly. That way, even without medicine, it will heal faster and will not be easily infected."
So when you go out, even if you don’t have any trauma medicine, alcohol is a must.
But it was obvious that Lin Cheng had more than just alcohol. He had disinfected Lin Man's hands, and also disinfected his own hands. He even took out a curved needle and thread and wanted to give her a few stitches.
Lin Man was dumbfounded: "Wait wait! What are you doing?"
"Suturing it. Your wound is too long and deep. If it's not sutured, it will probably heal very slowly." Lin Cheng held up his slender, beautifully shaped hands. "I've learned this before, and my hands are very clean. These needles and threads are also sterile."
"No, no stitches." Was this a question of sterility? She'd already had such a long cut, and they were still going to give her a few stitches? No.
Lin Cheng looked at him helplessly, while Lin Man looked determined.
The little girl was probably afraid of pain, but there was no such thing as anesthetic. However, she didn't cry out in pain or frown at the wound, so she must not be afraid of pain. Lin Man looked at the white and tender skin on the inside of the little girl's arm and the pale flesh around the edge of the wound. He had never thought it could be so serious. After thinking it over, he put the things away, applied ointment to Lin Man, and bandaged her with white gauze.
"I'll find you a healing psychic later."
"No, it's fine this way." Lin Manxin thought she wanted to keep the wound as it is and continue to try to use spiritual energy to treat it. Although she hadn't figured it out yet, she was sure it would be possible. However, after the wound was completely wrapped, she remembered that if she used spiritual energy later, would she have to open it again?
But Lin Cheng’s bandage was very neat and looked very nice, so it would be a pity to remove it.
Lin Cheng paused, "Okay, change the dressing once a day. If it doesn't heal well, it will still need stitches."
Lin Man was silent for a moment. Is this a threat?
Lin Cheng put the medicine box back and took a photo to Lin Man.
Lin Man took it, puzzled, and slightly widened her eyes. It showed a young couple, the man very handsome, the woman delicate and pretty. She immediately recognized the woman as her mother, her mother in her youth. It was the first time she knew that her mother had been so beautiful in her youth, but she had no memory of the man at all.
She asked, "Is this... my dad?"
"Well, the commander gave me the photos himself and told me to look for you based on their appearance."
Lin Man said: "I remember when I was very young, there were a few photos of my parents at home, but they were lost or destroyed one after another. I was very young at that time and I don't remember what the people in the photos looked like."
Lin Cheng laughed. Are you still in doubt?
Lin Man suddenly said, "You're looking for me with this photo? You definitely won't be able to find me. My mom said I look neither like my dad nor her. I look more like my grandfather who passed away young."
Well, Lin Cheng touched his nose. He also realized that the commander’s wish of having a child who looked very much like him had been dashed.
"By the way, how did you come to me in the first place? Chen Huaan and Min Jian don't even know me."
Lin Cheng sat beside her, on a stool of the same height, yet half a head taller than she was. He said gently, "Because the information you left said you were seventeen years old and your last name was Lin."
"that's all?"
"That's it. The commander has been looking for you and your daughter for years. Of course, he didn't know you were a girl. He's unwilling to miss any possibility, so he goes south once a year. The place where you appeared at that time is only two cities away from the city where your family lives. The location, age, and surname all match. What do you think, should we look for you?"
It seems to make sense.
"Then why hasn't he found us in all these years?" Lin Man wanted to ask, but then she thought, "It's very difficult to find us, right?" She and her mother had lived in that remote mountain area for over a decade. It was a secluded place, almost cut off from the outside world. The only radio signal was intermittent, sometimes going years without any news from the outside world.
After a while, Lin Man asked Lin Cheng again: "Who are you to him? A relative? Nephew or something like that?"
If Lin Cheng was younger than her, she would definitely think he was her younger brother.
Lin Cheng shook his head: "I was adopted by the commander, and I got this name after I was adopted."
Lin Man was surprised: "So you call him dad too, so I should call you brother?"
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "That's not the case. Although I was adopted by the commander, we only have a superior-subordinate relationship. He doesn't like having children." He explained to Lin Man, "What I mean is, he doesn't like people calling him father. He has been alone for many years and has no children. The Lin family... the Lin family is a large family with many children, so those people wanted to adopt their children to him. But the commander said that he would only have one child in his life, whether dead or alive."
Lin Zhongrong's original words were, "My child is out there, his whereabouts unknown, and I don't know how much suffering he has endured. I'm incompetent enough that I can't find him. Should I let an inexplicable person take over his identity, snatch his position, and enjoy everything that should have belonged to him? There is no such thing in the world!"
