Chapter 28 Liu Yao Wakes Up
Seeing that they had all left, Yu Miaomiao nodded to Lu An, who then went to stand guard by the tent door to prevent Liu Pei and the others from accidentally coming in and seeing anything.
Yu Miaomiao took out a cup of spring water from her spatial storage and fed it to the little girl little by little.
The little girl kept her eyes closed and frowned. Although she was somewhat resistant, she still obediently drank it all.
Yu Miaomiao knew that taking fever-reducing medicine would be useless at this time, but physical cooling methods were still effective.
She took out fever-reducing patches from her storage space and applied them to the little girl's forehead, both sides of her neck, and under her armpits. Liu Yao seemed to feel comfortable as well, and her brows and eyes were no longer as furrowed as before.
Every hour thereafter, Yu Miaomiao would feed the little girl a few sips of spring water.
The high fever caused her to sweat a lot. Every two hours, Lu An and Yu Miaomiao would wipe Liu Yao's body with warm towels to help her cool down quickly and wipe away the sticky sweat so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Four hours passed in a flash, and the sky outside was beginning to lighten. Yu Miaomiao checked her temperature again and it was around 37 degrees Celsius, indicating that her fever had basically subsided.
Not long after, Liu Yao slowly opened her eyes, looking at Yu Miaomiao with some confusion: "Sister Miaomiao, what are you doing at my house?"
"There's a little silly girl who's sick, so I've come to see her."
"Who is it? Is Daddy sick?"
"Pfft... Hahahaha, it's you, you little idiot."
"I'm not a little fool! Sister Miaomiao is a big bad guy who bullied me!" The little girl puffed out her cheeks in anger and buried her head in the blankets.
"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. Our Yaoyao is the smartest and most obedient. Are there any good babies who want to get up and drink some water now?"
"Yes!" Liu Yao obediently took the cup Yu Miaomiao handed him and gulped it down.
Hearing the noise inside, He Xin couldn't help but knock on the tent and ask if she could come in. Only after receiving an affirmative answer did she push open the tent flap and enter.
When He Xin saw that her daughter was awake, she almost burst into tears of joy.
"Mommy, Mommy, hug me." Although Yao Yao has always acted very sensible, she is still a child after all, and is still at the age where she loves to be spoiled.
Yu Miaomiao and the other woman exchanged glances, quietly left the tent, and told Liu Pei and Grandma Liu that the child was alright, but they didn't know what special ability he had awakened.
The child is still young and may not be able to recognize or control superpowers on his own. He needs their companionship, observation, and guidance. If there are any problems, go to the 17th floor and find the two of them.
Liu Yao's awakening of her supernatural abilities also made them realize that the entire timeline was moving forward.
In the future, more and more people will awaken superpowers, and more people will die during the awakening process.
The conflict between humans will intensify, and mutated plants and animals will gradually appear.
In a brutal apocalypse, survival will become increasingly difficult.
If the mutation awakens earlier than expected, then the next catastrophe won't be far off.
The global mega-earthquake occurred about a month after the first large-scale appearance of superhumans. If everything is happening faster and earlier, then they don't have much time left to decide which base to go to.
This house is absolutely incapable of withstanding a super earthquake.
"We're leaving now. Just knock on the door if you need anything."
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An bid farewell to Liu Pei's family. Grandma Liu held their hands and thanked them profusely. Before leaving, she packed all their food into a basket and stuffed it into Yu Miaomiao's hands. "Grandma Liu, please save the food for Yaoyao. She needs to replenish her nutrition after recovering from a serious illness. We don't need it for the time being."
"No, you saved Yaoyao's life. We don't have anything right now, but we will definitely repay you in the future. You must accept these." Liu Pei forcefully stuffed the things into Yu Miaomiao's hands.
"Alright then." Seeing that it was difficult to refuse, Yu Miaomiao decided to accept it first and make plans later.
Back to the 17th floor.
"An'an, we need to make a decision as soon as possible. I think we should go to the military base."
In the previous life, the military base was more formal than the official one in every aspect, with higher requirements and stricter management. The more chaotic the times, the more stringent the management and control were needed to ensure the safety of the base.
Their goal is to survive and avoid unnecessary conflict, so although the military has high requirements, it better suits their needs.
Although the entry barrier is high, it's not that they can't afford it.
"Yes, I also think it's better to go to the military. On the one hand, there's the security and military strength, and on the other hand, the infrastructure of military bases should be better."
The official Ningcheng base is located inside a mountain at a relatively high altitude in Ningcheng, while military bases are generally built in bunkers before the apocalypse, which are relatively more secure. The question now is which military base to go to.
"I want to go directly to the capital."
Yu Miaomiao had considered going to the military base in the provincial capital, but in her previous life, she had gone to the military base in the provincial capital and encountered that unlucky teammate, who died a violent death.
It wasn't that she didn't want revenge in this life, but rather that she had more things to do and didn't need to go to the provincial capital specifically to find that woman for the sake of revenge.
She wasn't reborn for revenge; on the contrary, she was grateful to have been brought back from the dead for another chance.
"Only the Capital Military Base has a research institute and an agricultural department." Her experience from her previous life should be able to help the Capital Military Base research institute accelerate its research process, and with an agricultural department, there should also be some corresponding agricultural machinery. She wants to get two of them to automate spatial planting.
Then she could lie back and wait for the harvest, imagining the idyllic rural life she was living in comfortably, and Yu Miaomiao couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"Alright, let's go to the capital and give it a try."
A consensus was reached.
We need to start packing and planning our route during this time. The road to the capital is not short, and the ice makes the roads very difficult to travel. Time is also very tight.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Lu, sorry to bother you." The sound of knocking on the iron gate came again from outside.
Grandma Liu grabbed a large bag of supplies and insisted on giving it to them. "We're leaving next week for the official base. We've left behind the supplies we need to get in. The rest is for you. You should decide where you're going soon. We recently contacted a relative who works at the provincial base. He gave us some inside information. Another natural disaster... is coming. This time it might be a super earthquake. This building definitely won't hold up. Go now while there are fewer people going to the base. Later, when there are too many people, they might limit the number of people allowed in."
Grandma Liu was afraid they wouldn't understand the situation, so she said everything she could, considering it her way of repaying them for helping Yaoyao escape the gates of awakening death.
It's truly remarkable that these two young girls are supporting each other in the apocalypse. Their parents aren't around, and their abilities are limited. That's all I have to say. I hope they can both stay safe after they part ways.
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Liu, but we really don't need the things. Please take them back. You need to keep some supplies more than we do. Thank you for the information you provided; it's the most useful information for us. We will consider our next move as soon as possible."
"Sigh, okay... okay, then you should make a decision as soon as possible. If you want to go to the official channels and there are no more spots available, we can help you find a way. That's all we can do."
"Okay, thank you."
