Chapter 217: Preparing to Log In p2
Lin Xiwan was completely at a loss when it came to giving speeches in such serious situations, not to mention that before she came, she was only thinking about casually checking on the camp’s development, and hadn’t thought about speaking at all.
Lin Xiwan secretly swallowed, not knowing where to put her hands, so she simply stuffed them into the pockets of her black sportswear jacket, nervously pinching the threads inside.
It was like a primary school student who hadn’t done their homework and was dozing off when suddenly called onto the stage by the principal, with the whole school watching and applauding.
Confused, helpless.
No, she had to establish a gentle persona like her sister, so that others wouldn’t be afraid of her.
“Um…” Lin Xiwan’s face was tense, and she nodded slightly. “It’s good that you arrived safely. I hope you can all get along.”
Lin Xiwan barely managed to keep her voice from trembling. After saying these words, her mind went blank, and she didn’t know how to continue.
The air was silent for about two seconds.
Because Lin Xiwan’s voice was too indifferent, as if she was talking about something unimportant, it was impossible to understand her meaning.
Wan Zi beside her directly started clapping, smiling and livening up the atmosphere, saying: “Let’s all live well together and build a better tomorrow!”
“Clap, clap, clap—”
Led by Wan Zi, the crowd clapped vigorously, and many even cheered, shouting words of welcome to the survivors standing outside the ash area.
The atmosphere finally wasn’t so serious anymore. Lin Xiwan also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly reached out and patted Wan Zi, saying:
“I’ll leave the arrangements to you, I’m just here to take a look.”
After saying that, Lin Xiwan put her hands in her pockets, lowered her head, followed the path created by the crowd, and quickly walked away.
At this time, among the crowd, there were also some heated discussions among the women and girls.
“She’s so handsome…”
“Strong and handsome, I want to be dragged away by her and…”
“She’s so cool… but what is she thinking with her head down?”
“Silly, she must be thinking about the future development of the camp. Big shots definitely think more than us…”
Obviously, Lin Xiwan’s temperament and appearance not only attracted men, but also had a great impact on women, especially girls.
It seemed that the girls all took Lin Xiwan’s nervousness as “being cool and not talking”.
Just as the women were heatedly discussing Lin Xiwan, who had already left, an old man interrupted their conversation.
“I can tell you’re from the former Panlong. Let me tell you, I saw her carrying her sister one night while I was on patrol…”
The old man originally just wanted to pour cold water on them, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, the girls became even more excited.
“Woo woo woo… Sister Xiwan, please carry me away…”
“Woo, I also want to be…”
Lin Xiwan, who had already walked quite far, with her B-rank body’s powerful hearing, naturally heard the shameless discussions of those girls and knew what her image had become.
Her face was completely red, and now she couldn’t wait to run back, hug her sister, and empty her mind, so that she wouldn’t think about the embarrassing scene tonight.
After getting away from the crowd behind the car, the cool night wind blew on Lin Xiwan’s face, slightly cooling down the redness on her face.
She looked back and saw that the originally single searchlight was now joined by another, both turned on, as if they were holding some kind of welcome ceremony.
Looking at the frolicking crowd in the distance, Lin Xiwan’s heart gradually calmed down.
It was good.
Lin Xiwan smiled faintly, looking at the crowd in the distance.
Before, she couldn’t have imagined such a scene – people living together harmoniously, not fighting over resources, with enough supplies to warmly welcome outsiders.
It was like a hospitable village before the apocalypse.
And all of this was basically inseparable from her sister’s support…
Thinking of her sister turning her face sideways and saying “As long as you like it” with an indifferent but cute look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiwan’s mouth.
She really was the best sister in the world, no refutation accepted.
Lin Xiwan walked aimlessly, and looked up to find herself at the residential area designated by her sister.
It was a hospital and a few high-rise residential areas. This area was surrounded by vines on three sides, and only one side was connected to the ash area.
But compared to the Oasis Area, which was separated by a wall of vines, this place seemed more lively.
Clotheslines were extended outside the buildings, with various clothes for adults and children hanging on them. The first floor of the buildings had also been transformed into convenient facilities such as laundries.
There was also a special area for piling up domestic garbage, waiting for someone to transport it away the next day. Except for the garbage disposal point, other places were very clean.
Those places in the Oasis Area were either covered with vines or hanging with dried corpses, all the same.
As the population continued to increase, more areas would definitely be opened up later… She didn’t know what it would be like then.
Could the entire city become like it was before the apocalypse?
Lin Xiwan looked forward to this day.
Lin Xiwan leaped lightly, jumped a few times along the vines, arrived at the top of the tall building, sat on the edge of the roof, looked down at the ash area and Oasis Area below, and just quietly watched.
She kept thinking about random things, but basically every few seconds, her sister’s face would flash before her eyes.
It wasn’t until a little green bug somehow flew to the roof and landed on the tip of her nose that she slowly stopped her random thoughts.
No, her sister addiction was acting up, she had to go back and hug her.
Lin Xiwan removed the green bug from the tip of her nose and flicked it away. Then she ran and jumped down from the roof, quickly running and jumping among the steel jungle and building-trees.
At the same time, Lin Jiayao, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly raised her hand and covered her forehead, shaking her head.
“Phew… my sister really is…”
Lin Jiayao had just been controlling the little green bug and finally found her sister. Just as she stopped on the tip of her nose and was about to control more little green bugs to talk to her sister, the little green bug she controlled was flicked away.
This caused Lin Jiayao to fail to switch perspectives in time and directly experience a spiral ascent along with the green bug’s perspective, almost making her vomit.
It seemed that her sister was fine… but why was it so noisy in the ash area?
Lin Jiayao controlled the green bug to take a look and found that the ash area seemed to be celebrating something. The “natives” and the emaciated newcomers were mixed together, seemingly without much of a gap between them.
Had the people from Wangxi arrived? It seemed that the integration was going well. Judging from her sister’s direction, she should be on her way back.
Looking at the people who had already lit a bonfire at the edge of the ash area, far from the farmland, Lin Jiayao thought for a moment and controlled some green bugs to fly to a large supermarket in the Oasis Area.
Various supplies in Kun City were still very complete, after all, this place was occupied by building-trees shortly after the apocalypse.
She picked some wine that was still in boxes, controlled some white bone spur insects to line up and carry these wines, flying them to the ash area.
Since her sister and she didn’t drink, they might as well use these supplies to win people’s hearts. This was something Lin Jiayao and her sister learned while fleeing.
Soon, amidst the puzzled and surprised expressions of the crowd and the newcomers, Lin Jiayao controlled the white bugs to place the boxes of wine by the bonfire one by one, and then let the white bugs leave and continue to stand by.
After a while, through the white bugs’ Bone Spike Lurker, she felt the cheers erupting from the crowd. They waved towards the Oasis Area, expressing their gratitude for the generosity of the Oasis Area people.
Of course, they definitely attributed this kindness of the wine to Lin Xiwan, who had just come. Lin Jiayao didn’t care about these things.
Anyway, her sister’s things were hers, and hers were also her sister’s.
She believed that after tonight, the “newcomers” from Wangxi, whose spirits had been fully released, and the “old timers” of the ash area would get along better.
Just as Lin Jiayao was about to reset the white bugs, she heard a heavy landing sound from the courtyard outside.
Not long after, the vine curtains next to her were suddenly lifted, and her smiling sister appeared by the window.
“Shh…” Lin Jiayao put her index finger to her lips, then pointed at Huayibai in her arms, who had finished drinking the happy water and closed her eyes again, signaling her sister not to be too loud.
“Mmm…” Her sister nodded repeatedly and carefully moved to Lin Jiayao’s side, sitting on the bed gently.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Jiayao asked softly. Her sister seemed to have something to say.
“Nothing,” Lin Xiwan shook her head, and was about to reach out and hug her sister, but didn’t want to disturb Huayibai in her sister’s arms, so she just leaned over slightly, kissed her sister on the cheek, and said with a smile, “I just missed you.”
If any outsider saw this scene, they would definitely feel a strong sense of deja vu.
“Sister, I’m going to sleep for a while later, I’ll probably see you tomorrow morning.” Lin Jiayao whispered to her sister.
“What are you talking about?” Lin Xiwan rubbed her sister’s head and smiled, “Don’t you sleep at night? Aren’t you going to take a bath?”
“It’s cold, I’ll do it during the day.”
“Okay, I’ll take a bath and come back.”
“Good night.”
“Night~”
After her sister left, Lin Jiayao slowly moved her body, lay down, put Huayibai on the side, and slowly closed her eyes.
