After buying milk powder and meat from the supply and marketing cooperative, the two returned to their unit.
As soon as he got home, a young soldier came to Qin Yushen's door, saying that something had happened at the recruit camp and that he should go and take a look.
Qin Yushen didn't delay and let Lin Xiaoxiao rest at home.
He then left with the young soldiers.
Being home alone, Lin Xiaoxiao found something to do. She entered her spatial dimension and tidied up the messy supplies inside.
Most of them are items from the squads during the apocalypse.
Space ability users serve as supply depots within field teams, containing food, water, weapons, medicine, crystals obtained from killing zombies, and more.
While searching for survivors in a zombie-infested city, she collected supplies from three large supermarkets, all of which were items with long shelf lives.
She separated the medicines, weapons, and crystals from the pile of things and put them in a separate place.
Looking at the large pile of crystals, she thought that she could use them to upgrade her superpower.
However, we should use it sparingly.
Once it's used up, it's truly gone.
The types and quantities of weapons are not many: guns, cannons, grenades, bullets, daggers, and other common firearms in the apocalypse.
Any one of them is more advanced than anything we've ever seen in this era.
She didn't intend to take these things out; doing so would only arouse suspicion and surveillance, offering no other benefit.
If she had detailed blueprints for these weapons, she would definitely hand them over to the state without hesitation.
But she didn't.
Naturally, I wouldn't go looking for trouble.
drug......
Lin Xiaoxiao rummaged through the box, found a box of meatballs, took one out and popped it into her mouth without hesitation, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
This is good stuff.
Her teammate, who possessed the innate Pharmacist's Body, could only refine one pill each time he exhausted all his supernatural power, which shows how difficult it was to make.
This way, everything benefits me.
Lin Xiaoxiao stayed at home, unaware that a huge uproar about her had already taken place in the family compound.
The incident began when Ge Hong, the wife of Xu Chaoying, the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of the first regiment, finally got permission after pestering her husband for more than half a year. She happily went out early in the morning to buy a bicycle and rode it back home.
He rode around the family compound several times, looking quite smug.
Everyone who saw it was incredibly envious.
They wanted bicycles too.
But the family only has a small salary, and they need to eat, drink, and live on every day, as well as raise children. They have to spend money everywhere, and even if they can afford it, they dare not buy it.
In the entire family compound, only the families of the regimental commanders and the political commissars of the regiments had bicycles, or the family of the second battalion commander of the third regiment, who had married a woman from a good family in the city, had one.
This shows the scarcity of bicycles in the residential compound.
Now even the deputy battalion commander's family has bought bicycles, which has made many people envious.
Someone couldn't stand Ge Hong's smug look and couldn't help but retort, "What are you showing off for? Battalion Commander Qin's family also bought a bicycle today. He's a higher-ranking officer than your husband, but he's not as smug as you."
"Battalion Commander Qin's family didn't ride out to show off either; they're much more low-key than you."
Upon hearing this, Ge Hong was alarmed.
At that moment, a conflict arose with the woman who was speaking. If the woman hadn't intervened, the two would have been fighting.
Ge Hong thought for a moment and realized that the Qin battalion commander's family must have done it on purpose.
She announced two or three days ago that she was going to buy a bicycle today.
Knowing full well that she's buying today, he deliberately chose the same day as her. Isn't that just deliberately going against her?
I was strolling by and happened to pass by the Qin family's house. The gate was closed and I couldn't see anything.
She didn't give up, and joined the crowd to start gossiping.
Who knows how cunning Lin Xiaoxiao is, she might have somehow managed to hook up with Battalion Commander Qin.
The shop is closed in broad daylight; there must be something shady going on.
Another foul-mouthed guy.
After hearing what Sister Wang said, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately rolled up her sleeves, looking eager to try.
That's great, daring to spread rumors about her in the family compound. Now I have something to do.
Holding the receipt for the bicycle, he swaggered off with Sister Wang toward the small square in the family compound.
The small square is located in the middle of the residential compound. When they have nothing to do, the women like to chat under the big trees by the square and watch their children play there.
By now, the rumors have already started to spread.
Many of Lin Xiaoxiao's sisters-in-law who had never met her were swayed by Ge Hong's words.
Those who had met her but had no connection with Lin Xiaoxiao didn't help clarify things for her. Anyway, there was going to be some excitement, so why not watch?
Those who had interacted with Lin Xiaoxiao exchanged a few words with her, only to be immediately rebuffed by Ge Hong.
"She's only been here for a day, and you're already speaking up for her? You've probably received some benefits from her."
The person who spoke up for Lin Xiaoxiao was Aunt Lü, who had previously picked up beans at the guesthouse; she also had a fiery temper.
Hearing Ge Hong say this, she slammed down the basket of vegetables, stood up, put her hands on her hips, and started cursing, "Oh, so you know? I thought you were a brainless idiot. They've only been here for a day, and you're already talking bad about them."
"You bought a bicycle but didn't show it off enough, so you took your anger out on other people. You're really something."
"What, you think we'll all kowtow to you just because you bought a bicycle? What are you pretending for? Do you think I don't know your own worth?"
"Once you buy a bicycle, you'll be eating dirt for at least a month. You're the kind of person who tries to save face."
"You want me to envy you? Envy your vanity, or envy you starving with your man and child? Bah!"
Sister-in-law Lü lived next door to Ge Hong. The building wasn't soundproof, and she knew all about Ge Hong's affairs.
