No matter how Qi Yuanyuan resisted, she was eventually dragged away by the people who came later. After Qi Yuanyuan left, Xiao Yi sighed tiredly. Since Qi Yuanyuan's path was blocked, he had to think of other ways now.
Xiao Yi had a very uneasy premonition, because he found from various signs that Lin Jiawen seemed to want to take Ling Mengchen away from the base. Although according to his analysis, it was a bit unrealistic for the other party to leave now, after all, winter had arrived, and now almost all the surviving humans in the surrounding area had gathered in the base. There was no edible food anywhere else, and the other survivors' bases were very far away.
After the apocalypse, the winter is much colder than before. If a superpower is traveling alone, it is possible, but it is impossible to take an ordinary person on the road in this cold winter. Even if they can barely reach the new survivor base, they will definitely get seriously ill with the physique of ordinary people. And with the current medical conditions, it is still unclear whether they can be cured. So not to mention that Lin Jiawen is unlikely to choose to take the risk at this time, even if he really makes this decision, Xiao Yi will definitely stop him regardless.
However, even if the other party does not leave in winter, he does not have much time left, because this means that the other party will leave as soon as the weather warms up, so he must try to think of new ways to keep people in these two or three months.
Xiao Yi walked to the window and looked at the exposed corner of the house from afar, with a dark look in his eyes, as if an unknown storm was brewing.
After Qi Yuanyuan disappeared, life was very peaceful for a while, but Lin Jiawen knew that this peace was an illusion. Based on his understanding of Xiao Yi, he knew that the other party was not someone who would give up so easily. Lin Jiawen always remained vigilant.
While Lin Jiawen was on guard, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and now it was the coldest time of winter. There were even several heavy snowfalls outside, and everything was covered in white.
Sometimes, looking at the pure colors all over the world, it is hard to believe that this is a zombie apocalypse filled with viruses.
Although the snow scene was beautiful, the extremely cold weather also caused some sequelae. After all, humans now no longer have sufficient energy to keep the house warm as in the cold winter. The excessively cold weather made some people in the base sick. What was even more difficult was that this seemed to be an epidemic virus that was contagious, and the base obviously did not have the conditions to develop and produce corresponding drugs. The only thing they could do was to go to the ruins of the city to look for the antibiotics and drugs left behind.
"Boss, according to current statistics, 131 people have fallen ill in the base. They have been gathered in one place for care, and no one else is allowed to approach. The base's cold-resistant supplies have also been distributed. According to the diagnosis and cultivation of the doctors in the base, the type of virus currently spreading in the base has been roughly identified. However, the corresponding anti-disease drugs are in urgent need of replenishment, and the base's reserve medicines also need to be replenished. The doctors suggest going to the First Municipal Hospital and major pharmacies in City Z to search. This is the list of medicines they have drawn up." The shrewd and capable subordinate reported while presenting a long list.
Xiao Yi listened to his subordinates' reports with a serious expression, took the list and read it carefully. This epidemic outbreak was beyond his expectations, but fortunately this was not the first epidemic outbreak in the base. A few years ago, in the winter when the base was just established, an epidemic broke out. That time, due to lack of preparation in a hurry, it caused great losses. But today, a few years later, when the epidemic broke out again, the base was already very experienced, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and the situation was under control in the first time. However, infectious diseases should not be taken lightly.
Xiao Yi pondered and decided that it was imperative to go to City Z to collect medicines. However, the weather outside was so cold that ordinary people were completely useless. Only those with special abilities could go.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's eyes flashed. Although the outbreak of the epidemic virus was an accident, it was a good opportunity beyond his expectation. In this case, he didn't need to find a reason specifically. This was a ready-made reason, enough for him to transfer Lin Jiawen away from the base.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had already enjoyed the sweet fruits of victory in advance.
…
"What? Asking you to go to City Z to collect medicine?" Bai Yichen asked Lin Jiawen in surprise.
Lin Jiawen nodded with an unpleasant expression. He knew that Xiao Yi's seemingly legitimate request might have bad intentions. But he could not find a reason and had no position to refuse, because they were still living in the base, and as a high-level psychic, he did enjoy the best material conditions and support in the base, so when necessary, he had to contribute to the base.
And it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Xiao Yi had never assigned him any tasks before. This time was almost the first time that Xiao Yi asked him to contribute to the base, which made it even more irresistible.
In fact, it’s not that Lin Jiawen doesn’t want to go on missions for the base. If there weren’t someone with ulterior motives like Xiao Yi in the base, he would have no problem going on missions at any time. After all, everything he has enjoyed from the base in the past month is a fact.
In the end, Lin Jiawen could only shake his head and put aside these entanglements. After all, it was a fact that an epidemic virus broke out in the base, and it was also a fact that psychics were needed to search for medicines. As long as he wanted to continue staying here, he had to search for medicines for the base. In this coldest season, when no food could be found in the wild, he could not take Bai Yichen away with him, so the only choice he had was to follow the psychics in the base to City Z and leave here for a short time.
The only thing that comforted Lin Jiawen was that Xiao Yi would also go with him on this operation, but this did not mean that he was completely relieved. After all, if Xiao Yi left, would his men be unable to act? In response to this, Lin Jiawen also took countermeasures. When he left, the survivor who came with him to the base would come to protect Bai Yichen.
Although the people in that stronghold joined the survivor base, they always regarded Lin Jiawen as their support, and they did live well in the base relying on Lin Jiawen's strength, so they were very convinced of Lin Jiawen, and naturally they patted their chests and promised to do a good job of the tasks assigned by Lin Jiawen.
Because the team going to City Z this time is all psychics, quite a few psychics were mobilized. Psychics are not uncommon even in such a large survivor base. After withdrawing more than 20 people and retaining the necessary base guard force, there are definitely not many psychics left that Xiao Yi can mobilize. What's more important is that Gu Song is among the psychics who stayed this time. Lin Jiawen still trusts this former leader of the survivor stronghold, a man who is both wise and adaptable. After he leaves, Gu Song will rush to protect Bai Yichen as soon as possible.
But even after making all these preparations, Lin Jiawen didn't know why his brows were still tightly knitted. Bai Yichen couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression and said, "Okay, you guys will only be in Z city for two days. Are you afraid of anything happening in two days? I promise I will stay in the house and not go anywhere. Besides, there are Gusong and the survivors' base here, so there's no need to worry so much."
Lin Jiawen finally relaxed his brows when he heard Bai Yichen's comfort. Yes, Xiao Yi also left with him. There were not many superpowers left in the base, so what was he afraid of? Moreover, he was sure that Xiao Yi was coming for the people. Even if something he didn't want to see happened, the worst thing was that Meng Chen was abducted and hidden by Xiao Yi's people. However, the survivor base was so small, where could Xiao Yi hide the people? Not to mention that he also sent witnesses like Gu Song. At that time, even if he turned the base upside down, he would get the people back.
Thinking this way, Lin Jiawen finally put his mind at ease. However, thinking that there was always a hungry wolf in this base coveting his beloved, Lin Jiawen still felt a little uncomfortable. Taking this opportunity, he simply said to Bai Yichen: "Meng Chen, when I come back, as soon as this winter is over, we will leave here, okay?"
Although Lin Jiawen knew in his heart that this was a decision he had made long ago, and he would take his men away even if Bai Yichen disagreed, but at this moment, he was inexplicably a little nervous about Bai Yichen's answer, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at Bai Yichen.
When Bai Yichen heard this question, he nodded and agreed without much thought, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Lin Jiawen heard Bai Yichen's answer, he couldn't help but feel a little sweet from the bottom of his heart. The smile on his face was full of happiness. He looked at Bai Yichen and promised seriously: "Okay, then I will take you to a larger survivor base, where our life will definitely not be worse than here."
