Lin Man followed Lin Cheng to his tent, which was indeed made of canvas. It looked like a big dumpling from the outside, and the space inside was not very large. After Lin Cheng turned on the small light on the table, he could see a narrow and low bed, the necessary small table and other items, as well as toiletries such as a washbasin. The items were very limited, but quite complete, and all neatly arranged.
Full of military atmosphere.
Lin Man was quite surprised, but she was a little surprised: "Your tents here are all made of cloth. What if a zombie attacks you in the middle of your sleep?"
"The camp is constantly guarded, and there's a defensive wall. Zombies can't get here. Furthermore, we rely on the strength of the people themselves. If we can't defeat the zombies ourselves, sleeping inside the iron wall every day will be useless."
"Actually, there's another point. It's a lack of resources." Lin Man gestured. "You've set up a perimeter around the entire mountain range. If we were to build a solid house, who knows how long it would take, and it would also cost a lot of manpower, money, and resources."
Lin Cheng: "...It's good to know, no need to say it out loud."
Lin Cheng picked up a kettle and said, "Come here and wash your hands and face."
"Oh." Lin Man went over happily. Lin Cheng poured water for her. She rubbed her hands and washed her face along the flow of water. Lin Cheng asked her if she wanted to wash her feet. She just shook her head. It was too troublesome. Besides, she was very particular about hygiene now. She washed her feet every day. It didn't matter if she didn't wash them for one day.
Then she was very surprised to see Lin Cheng put down the kettle and wash his face directly with the water in the basin that she had used to wash her face.
Seeing her stunned, Lin Cheng explained, "The water here is all sent from the base. It's very scarce, and every bit can't be wasted."
Lin Man felt a little ashamed. Now that her life was better, she had almost forgotten the hardship of the past decade or so. Back then, even having water was a blessing, let alone washing one's face in a basin. They would drink it first, and many people didn't even wash their faces once a year.
But Lin Cheng asked her to wash first, and then he washed, and he didn't even let her touch the basin. Was he worried that she would dislike him? Or was he simply taking care of her?
Lin Man, with his face in his hands, lay down in front of the small table. He saw Lin Cheng go out with a basin, and then come back a moment later with a small tray in his hand. On it was a bowl of hot soup and two small potatoes that were barely boiled. "Are you hungry? Eat it. The conditions here are limited, so you have to make do with it."
"I'm not hungry." Lin Man saw that the food on the tray was obviously enough for one person: "You eat it."
Lin Cheng took out his energy bar: "That's for you. I also have this." After using a lot of his supernatural powers, he was really a little hungry, so he peeled off the outer paper and ate it.
He ate quickly but not roughly, and the food seemed to be delicious. Lin Man asked curiously, "Is it delicious?" She had never eaten an energy bar before.
Lin Cheng smiled and broke off a piece for her. Lin Man took a look at it. It was yellowish and seemed to be made up of many things. She took a bite and was surprised by the taste.
Why is it so unpalatable?
It was the kind of taste that made you wonder if you had bitten the wrong thing as soon as it entered your mouth. She chewed it slowly twice, swallowed it with difficulty, and looked at the food in her hand with a look of doubt in her eyes. Is this made of wood chips?
The smell is not good either, it's weird.
Or am I just being spoiled by the things produced by this space?
She tried to break off a little bit of potato and eat it, but her expression was still weird.
She finally understood why those people went to Dayan Mountain and why they were conquered after eating the food there.
Obviously, those snacks tasted pretty good, so why did these ones that were just for filling their stomachs taste so much worse? Lin Man didn't know that most snacks were made by forcing all kinds of seasonings to make the flavors, which was very expensive.
She looked at Lin Cheng and felt very sad. She wished she hadn't dropped the apple in the space.
At this moment, she especially wanted to share her delicious food with Lin Cheng. During the time he stayed on Dayan Mountain, she only gave him one or two delicious meals, and after that, he still had to chew energy bars to survive.
If she had tasted the energy bar at that time and knew how bad it tasted, she would definitely find a way to feed him good food every meal, even if those old experts complained!
Lin Cheng could certainly sense the tangled, regretful look in Lin Man's eyes, but he said nothing. He wasn't particular about food and didn't think there was anything wrong with eating these. His only requirement for food was that it fill his stomach. It was precisely because of this extremely pragmatic approach that he was able to calmly swallow the energy bar after eating the food on Dayan Mountain.
Delicious food can naturally make him happy, but if there is no food, he doesn't care.
Lin Man felt around, thinking about getting some food out of her space. After all, Lin Cheng knew she was quite busy. She actually felt something in her shirt pocket. She pulled it out and found a dried sweet potato wrapped in a large corn husk. She exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, I still have this!"
She offered it to Lin Cheng like a treasure: "Try these dried sweet potatoes. I made them myself."
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then took it and peeled off the light green corn husk, revealing a dark brown piece of dried sweet potato inside. But why was it so soft?
Lin Man said a little embarrassedly, "This is my first time making this. I'm not experienced enough, so I cut it too thick, and for some reason it's soggy. But I steamed this three times and then dried it three times. The ones made at the base are only steamed once, and the taste is nothing compared to mine. Try it, do you like it?"
Lin Cheng took a bite and found it soft and sweet, a sweetness that went all the way to his heart. He said to Lin Man's expectant gaze, "It tastes great." The little girl then smiled with satisfaction, and Lin Cheng smiled too.
He slowly savored the dried sweet potato and found it much more delicious than the roasted ones he had eaten on Dayan Mountain. This was probably because it was the only one of its kind, and someone had sent it all the way here.
Lin Man supported his chin and said briskly, "Then I'll bring it to you next time. Hey, I wanted to bring it to you this time, and I've already packed it."
"I just didn't take it out." Lin Cheng continued slowly.
Lin Man: ...discouraged!
After finishing their meal, Lin Cheng said, "It's going to be cold in a few hours. You can sleep here with me for a while. I'll sleep in the tent next door. There are guards outside, so you don't have to worry about your safety. Just call me if you need anything."
Lin Man nodded, and after he left, he turned off the light on the table, but still sat at the table: "Guan Guan."
"Hmm? What's up?" Guan Guan was in a good mood, having just absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. It turned out that accompanying Lin Man was the right decision.
"You can feel the breath of zombies. If there are zombies hiding in the mountains, can you feel it too?"
"Then I have to fly around the mountain." Guan Guan thought for a moment and said, "You want me to find zombies?"
"I heard from Lin Cheng that there are only a few left. It must be so hard for so many people to continue guarding just these few. If possible, I hope you can help me with this. Of course, there will be compensation."
Guan Guan immediately said, "I want a hundred flowers. The mountain is so huge and wide. Flying around it would be tiring!"
"Okay." Lin Man answered very straightforwardly. If this matter could be successful, Lin Cheng would save effort. It was reasonable to let him produce a hundred flowers.
Guan Guan: “…” Is it going to be less?
So Lin Man, who was ordered to stay here obediently until dawn, went out again, sat on Guan Guan's back and walked around the entire mountain range. He found a total of three zombies, each in a different place, and there were several zombie birds in a cave on the mountain wall. Lin Man memorized the locations one by one, fearing that he would forget them, and hurried to find Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng noticed Lin Man shortly after she left. He was a little angry, but his legs were on her body and he couldn't control them. Besides, she must have been very confident in leaving like that.
But unexpectedly, not long after, Lin Man came back. Her face was red from the cold, and she exuded a strong chill. However, she looked extremely happy and cheerful. "I know where the last three zombies are?"
Lin Cheng held her cold hand and asked, "Where have you been?"
"Why can't you grasp the point? Hurry up and arrange for your fighters and your men to depart. If you delay any longer, they'll have to move to another location!"
Under Lin Man's guidance, they killed the last three zombies and brought their bodies back. These three zombies were quite powerful. Even though they triggered three fighter planes full of many psychics, it took a lot of effort to kill them.
By the way, he also killed several zombie birds in the mountain wall.
The sun was already high in the sky. Lin Cheng said, "I'm going to clean up a bit here before returning to base to give a report. Would you like to come with me? Or should I take you back to Dayan Mountain first?"
In order to prevent others from seeing Lin Man, Lin Man and Lin Cheng were alone in a fighter plane. Of course, there was a pilot in front who could not see them.
Lin Man thought about it and shook her head, telling Lin Cheng to leave her alone. She came quietly and left quietly. Once she made this decision, she had to complete it, otherwise Lin Man would always feel incomplete.
"Don't worry, if you can send me off, I will definitely come here openly next time!"
Lin Cheng had no choice but to leave her on the fighter plane. Lin Man was still worried and said that this was a secret between them and not to tell Lin Zhongrong.
Otherwise, if Lin Zhongrong knew how bold she was, he would really go crazy. If he sent someone else to keep an eye on her, it would be too tragic.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Okay."
"Lin Cheng." Lin Man called him again, "Um, have your superpowers recovered a little? Can you..." She stretched out a finger and shook it.
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but soon understood. Then, just like last time they said goodbye, he generously gave her a big bunch of chrysanthemums, which almost drowned her and directly drained all the remaining spiritual energy in Lin Cheng's body.
Lin Man was overjoyed, and of course Guan Guan was even happier.
Lin Man smiled and said, "Okay, bye, go and do your thing."
Lin Cheng was a little distracted. After half an hour, when he couldn't help but come over again, there was no one on the fighter plane. Lin Man had already left, and no one knew how he left.
Lin Cheng stared at the empty cabin in a daze. So she suddenly appeared, helped him with two big favors, and then left quietly?
For what? For a bunch of flowers that will soon disappear?
Thinking of the apple and knife she mentioned, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, hoping to see it next time.
