The things I left here last week show no signs of being tampered with.
Lin Li stepped forward to check his watch; the ti was exactly as he estimated. It was 2 PM in Yunguang City, and nearly an hour had passed since he last left, to be precise, close to 56 minutes.
1:180.
He opened a bag. As expected, things involving living entities like seeds weren’t brought over either.
He looked at the system interface.
[5.29.55]
The countdown showed such numbers.
Lin Li frowned slightly.
If he rembered correctly, he calculated last ti that the longest he could stay was only five hours, right?
This ti there’s an extra half-hour? It’s impossible that he calculated wrong by such a large margin, it must have just co up this ti.
Will there be more each ti?
Noting this change and suppressing the doubts that needed more information to validate, Lin Li switched to the title "Breath of the Demon."
He retrieved the communication device he had left in another building and pressed it, dragging all his belongings, including the lovely Ms. Beauty, to the rendezvous point with Ye Jing and the others.
As he approached, he could see the hopeful looks of the three people. Lin Li felt that they hadn’t left at all during that hour.
"Co over and get it yourself." After shouting this at the three of them, Lin Li led a few zombies clad in pink clothes into a nearby building and shook them off.
Ye Jing was, of course, the first to arrive.
"The food you wanted, I couldn’t bring the seeds." Lin Li indicated that she could open it to take a look.
Shi Dongchen and Hu Fei also ca over.
When Ye Jing opened one of the bags, she saw bundle upon bundle of chocolates tightly wrapped in plastic, far exceeding the anticipated hundred pieces, her excitent was visible.
Not to ntion, it wasn’t just one bag.
Shi Dongchen opened his bag, revealing a pile of biscuits, looking dense enough to fill stomachs, with so canned food beside them.
To his surprise, there was a third bag.
The bag Hu Fei opened contained a zombie corpse, stacked with seductive lingerie.
Hu Fei: "?"
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Damn, he hit the jackpot with this hidden item. Hu Fei took a step back, knelt down in front of the charming Ms. Beauty, and banged his head three tis, loudly proclaiming.
Lin Li: "?"
"Who told you to call her sister-in-law?"
"Lin Li, Shi Dongchen is useless, make your little brother!" Hu Fei turned to Lin Li, eyes full of hope.
Shi Dongchen: "..."
"It’s not about being a brother or not; even if I take you as my little brother, she won’t be your sister-in-law." Lin Li said with amusent, unable to get angry with Hu Fei.
"I get it! Lin Li, in the future when the sister-in-law asks, I won’t spill the beans about you and the little sister-in-law." After seriously thinking for a long ti, Hu Fei finally looked up and said solemnly.
"..."
Great thinking, next ti try not to think.
Lin Li laughed relaxedly, waved his hands to give up explaining, and instead looked at Shi Dongchen, repeating:
"Couldn’t bring the seeds."
"Understood, no problem! With these, our imdiate crisis is already solved! Thank you! Lin Li, thank you so much, we’ll go back and break down the rest of the gold pieces to bring to you!"
Shi Dongchen didn’t feel disappointed upon hearing this; the number of food items in front of him frankly exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought it would be ideal if Lin Li’s attitude could fill up one backpack, but he didn’t expect him to drag along two entire snake-skin bags full.
Each of these bags required both of Shi Dongchen’s hands just to lift them briefly.
It seems Lin Li’s heart is far kinder than how he presents himself; perhaps if he approached differently initially, the results might have been better.
Unfortunately, there’s no going back in ti.
"I’m not in a hurry for gold bars; if convenient, just bring so water and cooking and dining utensils." Lin Li waved his hand, speaking nonchalantly.
Back ho, there’s still nearly two million unspent Gold; Lin Li’s only purpose in coming to the apocalypse this ti is to complete mission two and collect the reward.
The current priority is to create an "evening al" environnt to avoid a system judgnt failure for mission completion.
"Okay! Cooking and dining utensils, right? We’ll head back and prepare them right away!"
Shi Dongchen wasn’t afraid of Lin Li making requests; he feared Lin Li having none. Hearing this, he nodded rapidly and agreed.
"Then...shall we take these things and head back now?" he asked testily.
"Yeah."
"Alright, alright, if you need anything, just press the communicator to contact us, and we’ll be here imdiately!" Shi Dongchen said, then looked at Hu Fei: "Hu Fei, take the stuff and let’s go."
Hu Fei remained motionless, still bowing to Ms. Beauty.
"Hu Xiaojing!" Shi Dongchen shouted.
"What?!" Hu Fei replied, head still on the ground.
"Take the bags, we’re heading back to the shelter!" Shi Dongchen said, sowhat frustrated.
"Only my big brother and sister-in-law can order around; you’re no longer my big brother, Shi Dongchen."
"Little Brother Lin, could you..." Shi Dongchen laughed, sounding sorrowful.
Lin Li, on the other hand, found Hu Fei increasingly amusing, so he simply took out an entire bundle of chocolate from the snake-skin bag and placed it beside Hu Fei:
"No matter how your shelter divides it, this bundle is yours. Now, take these things and go back with them."
Only then did Hu Fei stand up, holding onto the chocolate, and cheerfully said to Lin Li: "Big brother, only Lin Li is my big brother!"
"What if Shi Dongchen offers to give you two bundles separately?" Big Brother Lin asked.
