Chapter 203 No Overtime Today
The next day, Lin Xi quietly surveyed the research institute and noticed that over 60% of the staff at White Shield Research Institute had forward head posture and hunchbacks...
It's inevitable that staff members would be working with their heads down for long periods of time.
More than half of them had a "dowager's hump".
In short, there are quite a few people.
Lin Xi left work on time after finishing her tasks today, which surprised Zhao Jing and the others.
The person who was usually most dedicated to scientific research and had truly inherited Song Heng's skills actually left work on time. However, the atmosphere in their lab was somber. Everyone respected Lin Xi, but they didn't talk to her much about things outside of work.
Lin Xi even changed into casual clothes in the locker room, attracting some attention as she passed by the main road of the research institute.
The person named Luo Jun, who enjoyed interacting with people from the Dawn Research Institute outside of work, asked upon seeing this, "Leaving get off work so early? Where are you going?"
Lin Xi: "Let's go on a date."
Luo Jun glanced outside the research institute and, sure enough, saw Major General Lu who had come to pick her up.
He nodded quietly—Zhou Yiheng was right after all.
Lin Xi had been at the White Shield Base for a month, and apart from once going to the supermarket in the upstairs commercial area with Xiang Xin to buy a change of clothes, she hadn't been there again. This was the first time she had actually entered the commercial area.
The commercial area has restaurants, various shops, and entertainment venues, including KTVs, cinemas, high-end clubs, and even beauty salons, which shows how well the White Shield Base has developed.
Lu Wei whispered, "Don't look at me so obviously."
"..." Lin Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression. "That's how I used to shop. I would look around and glance at things. That's more natural."
"Yeah."
Lin Xi didn't feel any burden. Before the apocalypse, she and her work partners would go shopping as long as they had enough energy, visiting every store that caught their eye and lingering there for a while.
This also gave Lu Weiduo more time to observe whether there were any informants who had previously infiltrated the White Shield base.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Xi felt that his "girlfriend cover" had really helped him a lot.
Unfortunately, there weren't many people shopping in this upscale commercial area. They visited almost every store, but Lu Wei still didn't find a single informant.
Lin Xi: "Maybe they're not going shopping today. We'll just have to come back a few more times."
They found a restaurant to eat at. There were several restaurants on this floor, offering a variety of cuisines besides hot pot.
Lin Xi felt a long-lost sense of novelty and was finally able to relax a bit from her "work".
They carried quite a few shopping bags. Lin Xi didn't have much desire to shop anymore, but Lu Wei was probably the kind of person who felt embarrassed to leave an empty-handed after staying in a store for a while, so they made a purchase.
It's okay, they are all high-paid workers.

The hot spring resort was quite busy, and Lu Wei even ran into an acquaintance.
The group of people who were walking together greeted him first: "Hey? Isn't this Major General Lu? What brings you here?"
Another person glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Can't you tell? He's here with that legendary girlfriend."
"Oh, oh... that's it..." The man deliberately hesitated, winking and making faces.
They seemed to be just there to make their presence known, not genuinely traveling together. They said hello and prepared to leave: "We won't disturb the Major General's good time. You guys have fun. Hey... it's just that our club is rather formal."
Lu ignored them.
Lin Xi, however, seemed to sense something and leaned closer, asking somewhat shyly, "When they say 'the legendary girlfriend,' is it because of 'little blue pills'?"
“…Hmm.” Lu Wei gave a soft hum.
"Okay. Looks like I've had a bad influence on you." Lin Xi shrugged.
It's easy to imagine that Fan Yuchao, who doesn't get along with Lu Wei, must have spread this story far and wide.
"Cheer up, we need to get to work."
The two went into the changing room separately.
Lin Xi hummed a little tune as she went about her tasks, while secretly glancing at other people's shoulders for any distinctive features.
Once you step out of the changing room and into the hot spring resort, you'll find everyone wearing bathrobes, with their necks and collarbones almost completely visible.
Lin Xi and Lu Wei walked side by side, seemingly searching for the hot spring room they were looking for, each observing its features, but unfortunately they found nothing.
This is just one method; finding it truly requires luck and coincidence.
