On January 3, Bai Shuang and the others got up at 5 a.m. just like the day before, mainly because they wanted some peace and quiet and didn't want to bother other people with stares when they went out.
This morning we ate mango purple rice beef bamboo tube rice, several plates of vegetables, and a bowl of freshly ground soy milk for each person.
I fed the snow leopard boiled beef and a bowl of goat milk. I don't plan to take the snow leopard out today; I'll just let it stay home and guard the house.
After dinner, the group put on makeup, looking even more like down-and-out post-apocalyptic people than yesterday, applying as much black oil as possible to their faces, as if they would be lost in a crowd.
Try to be as inconspicuous as possible, just in case, to avoid attracting the attention of hidden enemies. Wasn't Bai Jiu shot yesterday because the enemy discovered him beforehand?
Learning from yesterday's lesson, today, the three of them each wore a brand new, high-grade bulletproof vest, a complete set, including a hat.
This is a bulletproof vest that was stockpiled in the US before the disaster; it's currently the most advanced bulletproof vest in the world.
Bai Jiu: "Miss, where should we look today?"
Bai Shuang: "In the western part of Tangcheng, if I'm not mistaken, she should be living in an office building or other public building that wasn't flooded."
Bai Jiu and his companion were professional bodyguards trained by the Bai family, so they naturally understood what their young lady meant.
During the natural disaster, Zhao Lin and her friends lived in the Lijing Villa in western Tangcheng. After the flood, due to the storm and the inconvenience of water transportation, they could not go very far.
The nearby residential buildings were flooded on the lower floors at the time, and the residents of the same building lived in the stairwells, so it was impossible for them to accept outsiders.
Therefore, they could only choose public buildings at that time.
Even after the wind stopped and the rain lessened, robbers were still rampant everywhere. Her family consisted of several people, and they were quite timid, so they couldn't possibly move very far.
Zhao Lin is usually just a petty shrew, a troublemaker, and a bully at home. Do you really think she can fight on the front lines?
Bai Shuang suspected that the one who instigated the Li Qingqing sisters' scheme was that old scoundrel Sun Zheng, who was the real cunning strategist, and that he must have already sided with the Kang family before the natural disaster.
Otherwise, why would he have stood with the Kang family father and son at that banquet?
After they finished packing, they prepared to go downstairs and leave. At that moment, the snow leopard bit Bai Shuang's clothes and refused to let go.
Bai Shuang suddenly had a bad feeling, but after observing the faces of Bai Jiu and the other person, as well as her own, she found that they all had bright foreheads and rosy complexions, indicating that their lives were not in danger.
However, she still had to be cautious, so she decided to bring the snow leopard along, and the plan remained unchanged.
The snow leopard was also dressed in a modified bulletproof vest and helmet.
In fact, if Bai Shuang used metaphysics, she could calculate Zhao Lin's exact location in an instant.
But Bai Shuang felt it wasn't worth it for Zhao Lin; she already had a target, and finding her shouldn't be difficult.
At this time, most people had not yet gotten up. The streets were still quiet, and even those who passed by did not dare to approach when they saw the guns in Bai Shuang's hands.
The speedboat sailed to the western part of Tangcheng. Lijing Villa was still submerged in the water. At this moment, a rubber boat came by the roadside with two people on board.
Bai Jiu waved to the man, who looked over warily.
Bai Shuang took out a pound of rice and handed it over, saying, "I want to ask you about something."
The two men's faces lit up with excitement when they saw the grain. They quickly took it, opened it, glanced at it, and stuffed it into their clothes.
"Go ahead and tell us what you want to know. We promise to tell you everything we know."
Bai Chang: "Do you know how many public buildings nearby are on relatively high ground? The kind that weren't completely submerged when the water level was at its highest, and where people can still live."
To prevent any mistakes, Bai Shuang and her team asked someone twice more, and the results were not much different from what the first person had said.
Therefore, Bai Shuang selected the five office buildings closest to Lijing Villa.
Bai Jiu: "It'll be faster if we split up."
But Bai Shuang remembered the snow leopard biting her clothes that morning, so she decided it was best to be cautious.
"No, let's not split up. Let's search building by building together. Be careful, don't act rashly."
Bai Shuang's emotions directly affected Bai Jiu and the other person.
Seeing their young mistress's caution, they unconsciously became serious as well.
Next, they arrived at the office building closest to the Lijing Villa area. After observing for a while, they found a rather clever person, and Bai Shuang brought him a pound of grain, asking, "How long have you been living here?"
"I've lived here ever since the natural disaster."
After mentioning Zhao Lin's name and characteristics, I was surprised to find that the person actually knew Zhao Lin.
According to that person, Zhao Lin and her family of four, including a son and a daughter, had been living in this office building for several months.
Later, an old man came, and they went with him, never to return.
Bai Shuang thought that the old man must be Sun Zheng.
The three people and the dog continued searching for the second office building, but Zhao Lin was not found in either the second or third building.
Of the buildings circled earlier, only two remain. I wonder if we can find them?
Bai Shuang and her team continued searching the third office building they had previously identified.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lin was in the third office building.
The snow leopard was too conspicuous, so Bai Shuang put it into her spatial storage first. The three of them quietly entered Zhao Lin's house from both sides.
But when they opened the door, no one was inside. The bed was neatly made and all the pots, pans, and dishes were there. There was also a lot of grain in one place, so they were living quite well.
Following the principle of not wasting food, Bai Shuang collected the grain and was about to leave when Bai Jiu suddenly said, "The cup is still warm."
Bai Shuang touched it and found that it was indeed there, indicating that the person had just left.
They released the snow leopard, let it sniff the house, and then the group followed the snow leopard forward.
The snow leopard walked towards another office building connected to the previous one, with the two buildings linked by a skybridge.
The snow leopard suddenly became alert; its fur stood on end, and it stopped going any further.
