In the afternoon, someone knocked on Lin Zhenzhen's dormitory door.
She immediately recognized him as Gu Bosheng's personal adjutant.
He handed her an oval-shaped black medicine box.
"This is from General Gu."
Lin Zhenzhen took the medicine box and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"A drug that can help you suppress the alien form."
"There's such a thing?"
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes widened as she compared this thing to what Gu Bosheng had said that morning.
She opened the medicine box and found it contained a box of blue powder.
Lin Zhenzhen picked up a little bit and smelled it.
It doesn't taste like much.
"This medicine only needs to be inhaled into your lungs to take effect."
So amazing, Lin Zhenzhen leaned right up to the lid and took a deep sniff.
Hmm, it seems like nothing has changed.
The adjutant couldn't help but add, "This medicine is extremely precious."
Well, they think she's being too extravagant.
Lin Zhenzhen closed the lid: "Okay... I understand."
The adjutant swallowed back the words he was about to say and instead placed a sturdy black briefcase on the table.
"Is this also for me?"
The adjutant nodded solemnly and carefully pressed the unlock button on the briefcase.
The box popped open with a "click".
Lin Zhenzhen couldn't help but take a step back. After she saw what was inside the box, she couldn't help but show a "Huh? That's all?" expression.
The adjutant took out a stack of drawing paper and colorful paintbrushes, and neatly arranged them on the table.
"Why did General Gu give me this?"
The young adjutant paused for a moment, then relayed Gu Bosheng's exact words to her.
"General Gu said he hoped you could make these things play their proper role."
"oh."
Presumably, Gu Bosheng was satisfied with her painting skills, so he gave her these painting tools he had.
However, while these things are indeed rare in the apocalypse, transporting them in a safe seems a bit excessive.
"Please thank General Gu for me." Lin Zhenzhen accepted the gifts.
Seeing her nonchalant and indifferent expression, the adjutant's eyes held a complex look for a moment.
After Lin Zhenzhen finished tidying up, she saw him still standing there and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Looking into her bright and beautiful eyes, the adjutant hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
"You should find an opportunity to thank the general in person."
The adjutant left, leaving the briefcase behind.
Lin Zhenzhen then noticed the special totem printed on the lower right corner of the box.
Fan Dandan, who had returned from outside, also saw it and couldn't help but shout out.
"This is the headquarters head's seal! I've seen it in the live stream. Where did you get this?"
Really? This little thing has something to do with headquarters?
Lin Zhenzhen quickly and quietly put the things away: "I found them."
Fan Dandan wanted to ask where she found it, but she was cut off by her words: "Hurry up and go, it's time to eat."
When the two arrived at the cafeteria, a long line had already formed in front of the window where they could collect energy biscuits.
I saw people coming and going in the kitchen, carrying fresh green vegetables in their hands.
Fan Dandan said, "There should be guests at your residence tonight, I think it will be some important person."
Lin Zhenzhen looked over when she heard this, but she quickly looked away without interest.
Fan Dandan swallowed hard and wailed, "I really want to try the taste of vegetables too!"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and said, "There will be opportunities."
It was their turn in the line. Fan Dandan took the hard, unyielding energy biscuit and resigned herself to her fate.
"Forget it, stop thinking about it. It's good enough to be alive. For people like us, eating those things is a waste."
"How could you think that?" Lin Zhenzhen frowned and said, "There is no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly among people."
She spoke quite loudly, and everyone around her could hear her.
They all looked at her as if she were a monster.
Lin Zhenzhen didn't care about other people's opinions. After getting the energy biscuits, she turned around and left decisively.
Since the zombie attack, the kitchen staff has changed, and the aunt who used to give herself an extra portion of food is no longer there.
Even so, Lin Zhenzhen still broke her cookie in half and gave it to Fan Dandan.
"There's only so much left, I can't take it! Mmm, sob sob."
Lin Zhenzhen shoved the cookie directly into her mouth: "Stop talking nonsense to me."
Fan Dandan threw her unopened cookies into Lin Zhenzhen's arms and then ran out.
"If you don't eat my food today, I'm breaking off all ties with you!"
Fan Dandan was so focused on running forward that she didn't notice the figure that suddenly darted out from around the corner and bumped into it.
The cookie that Fan Dandan was chewing fell out of her mouth and bumped into the person's skirt, instantly covering it with dark yellow food residue.
Looking at the expensive material of the clothes, Fan Dandan knew she had made a huge mistake.
She almost knelt down before the person in front of her, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir."
The man reached out and held her arm, saying softly, "It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose."
Fan Dandan looked up and saw a beautiful face with a serene and elegant demeanor.
Lin Zhenzhen arrived at this moment, helped Fan Dandan up, and asked, "What happened?"
"It was just a minor accident," Xing Mengman explained. "It's nothing serious."
Lin Zhenzhen understood. She told Fan Dandan to stand up straight, then squatted down and carefully wiped the filth with her sleeve.
Xing Mengman frowned and said, "No need to wipe it off, I'll just change into a dress later."
Hearing her say that, Lin Zhenzhen didn't insist anymore. She withdrew her hand and apologized again, "I'm really sorry."
Upon seeing her face clearly, Xing Mengman's smile gradually froze, and disgust slowly surfaced in her eyes.
"How could you be...?"
Lin Zhenzhen quickly interrupted her: "Miss Xing, are you lost? Do you need my help?"
Xing Mengman frowned slightly: "Do you know who I am?"
"certainly."
Based on the person's clothing and appearance, Lin Zhenzhen had already determined her identity.
Fair skin, long, smooth black hair, and a pink lace knee-length dress.
This is the first impression Xing Mengman left on Gu Bosheng, as described in the book.
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and looked at her: "Are you looking for General Gu? I can take you there."
Xing Mengman looked at her with nothing but hostility.
"May I have your name."
Lin Zhenzhen looked into her eyes and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My name is Ling Zhen. I am also from the Western Theater Command. In fact, Miss Xing and I are from the same hometown."
"Really?" Xing Mengman's face was devoid of a smile. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
