"Alright, then the first meeting of this squad is officially concluded. Everyone follow Wu Mengyao to get your height and bust-waist-hip measurements. She can start working on them tomorrow."
Lin Yuan stood up and announced the disbandment.
Then a group of people lined up around Wu Mengyao, vying to have her make them clothes to their liking.
How could Wu Mengyao agree? If she made them individually, it would take too long. They could just use the clothes on Lin Yuan and Wu Tian as templates, and they would be fully functional.
Watching the bustling sentry post cabin, Lin Yuan and Wu Tian stood to the side, whispering to each other.
"How does it feel to be captain for the first time?" Wu Tian winked and asked with a smile.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, "How should I put it? It's completely different from the positions I held in college. The burden on my shoulders is much heavier. Because we saved them, they chose to trust us. Before, I was only responsible for your and Wu Mengyao's safety. Now, I also have to be responsible for them, and we might encounter all sorts of things in the future. This burden is unexpectedly difficult to bear."
Wu Tian looked at this man who was two years younger than her, possessed exceptional martial arts talent, and had matured considerably in just ten days of the apocalypse. Although he might still be a bit green, he was already quite good.
She tightly clasped Lin Yuan's hand and said, "No matter what the final outcome is, I will always stand firmly by your side."
Lin Yuan also gripped her hand slightly. The bond forged between them through life and death was pure. Although they didn't know what the future held, they still had to walk the path forward with determination.
"Don't worry, I will definitely lead you and them to the safe zone," reaching the safe zone built by the state was almost every survivor's wish.
"We definitely will!" Wu Tian also responded seriously.
After saying this, she quickly kissed Lin Yuan on the cheek and then pretended as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yuan turned his head, touched his still slightly wet cheek, and smiled unreservedly, "Hehehe, did our Miss Wu forget something?"
Wu Tian naturally knew what this rascal was referring to, the words they exchanged when they first met. She immediately feigned ignorance, "What? I don't know anything."
"Hehehe, you'll know soon," he said, then slung Wu Tian over his shoulder with one arm and walked off humming a little tune.
"Lin Yuan, let me go! You're too much!"
Wu Tian's voice grew fainter, and the people in the sentry post cabin finally turned their gaze back.
"Captain and Sister Wu Tian are so loving!" Zhou Ping's eyes sparkled with the light of shipping couples. In her eyes, these two people who had saved them from the zombies were a match made in heaven!
"Yeah, but why did Captain carry Sister Wu Tian down?" asked a pure junior from the martial arts school.
"Right, right, big brother, what's Captain going to do? He even carried someone. But speaking of which, Captain's strength is really no joke, he carried Sister Wu Tian without any effort at all," chimed in a delinquent girl, agreeing.
Then, a slap landed. Zhao Meng Nan rubbed his sister's hair, "What are you children asking so many questions about? Go let Sister Meng Yao measure your size."
However, Lin Yuan and Wu Tian didn't do anything they shouldn't have. Instead, they came back with three realistic replica guns.
Upon seeing the guns, the three SWAT officers instinctively tightened their grip on their own weapons. Seeing that it was Lin Yuan holding the guns, they finally suppressed their vigilance.
"Captain, what is this?" Wang Zhihai, who had finished measuring, walked over. He still had to ask, after all, these things were absolute contraband. Handguns were one thing, but how did he get long guns?
Although he wasn't accusing them, he was still a bit nervous and needed clarification.
Lin Yuan naturally saw the nervous expression on Wang Zhihai's face, but he didn't mind. It would be abnormal if Wang Zhihai wasn't nervous. He couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Wang, it seems these guns are very realistic, they even fooled you."
Lin Yuan handed the replica gun over horizontally, allowing Wang Zhihai to examine it.
Indeed, the moment Wang Zhihai held the gun, he knew it was fake. The weight was wrong, and upon closer inspection, he noticed issues with the barrel and magazine.
He was relieved, narrowly avoiding a scare.
"These guns are truly lifelike."
"Yes, that's why I plan to use these replica guns along with your guns to conduct firearms training. Although the quantity is still insufficient, we can take turns. When we're not training with the long guns, we'll switch to handguns. Brother Wang, you can unload the bullets from the magazines when the time comes, so we can practice safely."
"Alright, Meng Nan and I, along with Qing Tian, will definitely complete the mission." He then gave a military salute.
This made Lin Yuan somewhat flattered, but he didn't act coy. He returned a salute in kind. He was now the temporary captain of the three SWAT officers, and before they could be safely escorted to the safe zone, he deserved this salute.
"I'm counting on you, Brother Wang."
As he was about to approach Wu Mengyao to inquire about the progress, Zhou Ping sidled up, "Captain, come here for a moment, there's something." She then pulled him a couple of steps away, cautiously glancing at the others. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered, "Captain, are you, perhaps, not capable?"
"Not capable of what?" Lin Yuan, seeing the little nurse being so secretive, thought it was something important, but was left speechless by her question.
Not capable of what?
Seeing Lin Yuan's lack of reaction, Zhou Ping continued, "When I was cleaning with Sister Wu Tian today, I saw a box of Sildenafil."
"Sildenafil? What's that for?" Lin Yuan was still confused.
"It's that little blue pill, it can increase firepower! I really know where to get it. I'll bring it to you later when I get the blankets."
"Little blue... Oh!!" Lin Yuan finally understood. This girl was indirectly saying he was slow.
He laughed and scolded, "Get out of here! Why would I need that? Just now, your Sister Wu Tian and I went down to get those replica guns. What did you think we were doing?"
"Ah?!" Zhou Ping looked incredulously shocked. Damn it, she miscalculated this time, and lost face!
She quickly said, "Sorry, Captain," and then hurried over to hide behind Lin Qing Yan.
Wu Tian saw Lin Yuan return with a smiling expression and thought he had encountered something good, "What did that girl Zhou Ping say to you? You're so happy? It wouldn't be that she wants to repay your life-saving grace by marrying you, would it? She looks quite cute, why don't you just go for it."
This woman's words had a hidden meaning.
Wiping a non-existent bead of cold sweat from his forehead, he quickly explained, "There's no such good thing! She thought I was incapable, and wanted to give me a box of Sildenafil, you know, the little blue pills. I just found it funny. You don't know, the moment she heard that we hadn't done the 'thing,' the light in her eyes dimmed so much, hahaha."
Wu Tian also let out a snort of laughter, and then couldn't stop. Holding her stomach, she laughed uncontrollably.
"Hahahaha, Lin Yuan, you're too pathetic! They even misunderstood you as being incapable."
Lin Yuan said expressionlessly, "Wait until it's quiet at night, and you'll know if I'm capable or not."
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, after all. Words are useless.
"Cough, cough, hmph, I'm not leaving the door open for you tonight."
"As if you ever did."
"Well, Meng Yao is here."
Tsk, these words had a hidden meaning.
Before he could ponder further, he saw Wang Zhihai walk over and say, "Captain, the team members have all had their measurements taken. We're going to pick out the blankets now. The girls knew where they were when they were cleaning the rooms today."
"Alright, then let Wu Tian take you. I'll go tidy up the rooms for you. After tidying up, get some good rest, and we'll start training tomorrow."
"Oh, right!" Lin Yuan called out to Wang Zhihai, instructing him, "Hold your guns firmly, just in case any night fiends sneak up."
"Understood! Captain." Wang Zhihai knew he meant two things but didn't point it out. He followed Wu Tian downstairs.
Wu Mengyao had long since disappeared, taking Zhao An Jing to the room where the cats were kept to play with them. Wu Mengyao said Zhao An Jing would sleep with her, and Wu Tian had no objections. Wu Mengyao's bed was a double-decker, more than enough for Zhao An Jing.
Lin Yuan thought that he hadn't petted Peiqi for a day, and quickly followed them.
The rooftop suddenly became empty. No one saw that on the other side of the diagonally opposite building, a faint light was on. Inside, a person was hunched over the ground, sewing something by the moonlight.
