Chapter 14 Official Rescue Team
Bai Zhi quietly sat in the co-pilot seat, looking up through the windshield at the figure emerging from the tall military truck cab window.
It was a soldier with dark skin, wearing camouflage uniform, shaved head, tall and strong, and somewhat serious.
"The military rescue team is on a mission, what do you want?"
Before Li Chengyi could ask, the soldier sitting in the driver's seat spoke directly.
Li Chengyi: "We are residents of this city and plan to go to the official resettlement site. We would like to ask about the specific address of the resettlement site and the official situation."
The soldier: "The official resettlement site is at the Olympic Sports Center in the north of the city. The gymnasium, swimming pool, and Olympic Sports Park have all been requisitioned. Our team's mission today is to rescue the college students from C University and bring them back to the resettlement site. If you are not in a hurry, you can follow our car back."
Although the soldier's tone was cold, the information and suggestions he provided were very sincere.
Li Chengyi: "Would it be convenient for me to ask about the situation at the resettlement site and the official plan?"
The soldier lowered his head to check the time and communicator before answering Li Chengyi's question.
"There are tens of thousands of people in the resettlement site now. They are all survivors who have been transferred from various schools, hospitals and other places, or citizens who have gone there on their own. Near the resettlement site, the authorities have now cleared a street area of about three kilometers and resettled some people in nearby empty houses.
"Supplies are not very abundant now. Each person will be given about one bottle of water and three loaves of bread a day. If you want more supplies, you need to follow the military team to clean the streets, or do other work, and the distribution is based on work. "
Are you people with special abilities? People with special abilities can be assigned to independent teams according to their special abilities, and there will be separate distribution of supplies."
Li Chengyi: "I am a water-based special ability user, and my sister is an ordinary person."
Li Chengyi and Bai Zhi had discussed it before they set out, and would not expose Bai Zhi's special abilities to the outside world.
Soldier: "A water-based mutant?!"
After Li Chengyi revealed his identity as a mutant, the soldier
's attitude became more enthusiastic. Soldier: "The military is short of water now, and water-based mutants are treated very well. Even if your sister is an ordinary person and does nothing, the living supplies for the two of you are not a problem for you alone."
"Thank you." Li Chengyi took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to the soldier who replied through the car window.
Soldier: "No need. Inform the survivors of the official resettlement site. This is also our mission."
The soldier pushed the bottle of water back to Li Chengyi outside the window.
Li Chengyi looked at his dry and flaky lips without saying a word, threw the bottle of water into his arms, turned around and left, and returned to the off-road vehicle.
Soldier: "Hey!"
Seeing him leave without looking back, the soldier thought that he was a water-based supernatural being and might not lack water. After struggling for a while, he finally unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a few sips of water.
He tightened the cap and put the rest in the door storage compartment.
Bai Zhi was in the car and heard their conversation through the knuckle-wide window slit.
When Li Chengyi returned to the car, he saw her excited and impatient expression.
He felt a little amused, "Do you want to go to the resettlement site at the Olympic Sports Center now, or wait until they finish their mission and go together?"
Bai Zhi had already considered it, "Well... although we have a navigation system, I just checked that it's fourteen kilometers to the Olympic Sports Center. The situation along the way is unclear. Wouldn't it be safer to follow the rescue team? Anyway, we're not in a hurry to do anything when we get there."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Chengyi had no objection to Bai Zhi's decision.
It was already noon, and Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi decided to have an afternoon lunch with bread and milk in the car.
Bai Zhi was chewing on a piece of bread with meat floss filling, and suddenly thought of something. He
chewed a few bites quickly and swallowed it, "Why did you say I was your sister just now? Are we going to say that to others in the future?"
Li Chengyi paused for a moment when drinking water, and then took a sip naturally. He screwed the bottle cap on, put it on his lap, and then answered Bai Zhi in a calm tone.
"Neither of us has a family to look for, and we will probably be traveling together for a long time in the future. In this case, for convenience, we need an external relationship that is different from temporary teammates. If it is not brother and sister, then there can only be couples or husband and wife. Whatever you want to choose, I am fine with it."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi thought the previous words made sense, but was choked by the last two sentences.
Indeed, in the end times, compared to the identity of a helpless girl, having an adult male family member with good fighting ability will be much more convenient in many times and many occasions.
Compared to couples and husband and wife, which are easy to reveal their true colors due to age, and are more awkward relationships, brother and sister are indeed the best choice.
Bai Zhi: "But, we have different last names. And what if we meet someone we know?"
Bai Zhi thought, she probably didn't have any acquaintances, but Li Chengyi might.
Would she have to change her name to Li Baizhi in the future?
Li Chengyi: "Cousins."
Li Chengyi also considered another problem, "But there is an inconvenience in a sibling relationship. If we go to a resettlement site or base, the accommodation conditions will not be good enough, and men and women will need to be separated. It is convenient for a couple to live together, but for a sibling relationship, we may have to live separately. Can you live alone?"
Bai Zhi: "Ah?..."
Bai Zhi felt that she couldn't.
She had gotten used to being with Li Chengyi during this period of time.
Especially after leaving the community and going outside, she felt insecure without Li Chengyi.
With her three-legged cat kung fu and this blank paper ability, her fighting ability is just rubbish except for hiding herself to protect herself.
What if after they separate, an unknown inferior male supporting role or a vicious female supporting role hurts her or becomes cannon fodder?
No.
She cannot be separated from her life-saving thigh and life-saving intelligent brain.
Bai Zhi: "I don't want to live alone, can I live with you?"
Bai Zhi nervously grasped Li Chengyi's sleeve.
"Then we will tell others that we are a couple." Li Chengyi paused, "If we settle down in the future and you meet someone you like, we will tell others that we broke up peacefully and remain friends. This will not affect the relationship of the team or your emotional life."
Bai Zhi thought that Li Chengyi's consideration was very appropriate.
Bai Zhi: "You too, if you meet a girl you like, we will break up and be teammates, and I will help you explain it to her then."
Bai Zhi felt that Li Chengyi was such a good person, he must deserve to meet a beautiful love.
Li Chengyi looked at Bai Zhi's sincere and frank smile, and nodded calmly in agreement without any expression on his face.
But in his heart, he only wanted to protect her, watch her grow up, and watch her meet the one her heart desires.
If that person is lucky enough to be him, everyone will be happy.
If not, he will always be her friend and family, and stay by her side to protect her.
As for himself, he never had the idea of loving someone before.
Now, except for her, he has never considered anyone else.
