Chapter 50 - 50

Chapter 50 Night OperationSu Xiaoyu thought Gu Lingxiao was a really responsible older brother, even thinking about finding her a wife!He wanted to show that he was a girl, but when someone called him upstairs, he swallowed back what he was about to say.Back inside, he saw Li Xiuxiu tidying up the kitchen. He walked up behind her and hugged her tightly."I 've talked to Jin Jun, and he likes you too. Just wait for him to pursue you!"Lin Xiuxiu's eyes widened in surprise. The man actually liked her too. Her face involuntarily turned red, even her ears turned red."Xiaoyu, you didn't pressure him, did you?""Why force him? You're so outstanding and adorable, he'd have a hard time finding a wife like you. If he dares to treat you badly, see how I deal with him!"" Brother Jun is a nice guy, and most importantly, he's good-looking.""Your hormones are raging, but you can't let them cloud your judgment. You need to see how you get along before deciding whether you want to be together for life."The main problem is that resources are limited right now, so you two need to be careful! Don't let a baby get into the picture!"How could that be?" Lin Xiuxiu stamped her feet anxiously. "Even if he wanted to, I couldn't let him! We're not married, I would never do anything with him."Su Xiaoyu loosened her grip; some things were best left unsaid."It's good that you're aware of this. I won't tell you anything more. I'm going out tonight. If I don't come back in the morning, please cover for me and say I went for a run."Lin Xiuxiu became anxious, "What are you going out for? It's so cold outside, there's hardly anyone on the streets, and most importantly, it's pitch black. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone!"Su Xiaoyu casually flicked her forehead."I have some things to take care of, and it's not convenient during the day, so don't tell them anything, including Jin Jun."Lin Xiuxiu pouted; she was unhappy."Okay, Xiu, I'll definitely come back. This is my home. Where else would I go if I didn't come back?" Su Xiaoyu could only resort to coaxing.In the end, Lin Xiuxiu had no choice but to compromise and keep her secret.Su Xiaoyu, dressed in dark black, used a rope to descend the stairs. Since there was no elevator, going downstairs would take a long time, so using a rope was much more convenient.After landing, he stretched the rope and asked Xiuer to pull it back.She stood at the window, looking reluctant to leave.Su Xiaoyu waved to her before turning away with a heavy heart.The outside temperature feels like it's close to -10 degrees Celsius, so the water is frozen solid. It's so hard that it probably won't melt even if the sun comes out tomorrow.This made it convenient for her to travel. She took out a car from her spatial storage, and she was initially drawn to the car because of its anti-skid tires.We drove for one or two hours at a relatively slow speed, mainly because the ice was of varying thickness, with some areas being particularly thin. Fortunately, the headlights were quite bright, and we didn't encounter any major incidents along the way.The car stopped in front of Orphanage, and then she climbed through the gate.It was a two-story building, and she didn't know where the aunt who protected the children lived.I found a mask and put it on, and also put on a hat, otherwise my silver hair would be too obvious.I had just stepped downstairs with a flashlight when I heard the sound of a window opening.Looking up and meeting eyes, one could tell from the woman's appearance and clothing that she was Orphanage's aunt.I remember Xiuer saying that her name wasWang Yalan, and she was the first orphan adopted by Orphanage. After graduating from school, she didn't get married but stayed at Orphanage to take care of the children.He usually wears black-rimmed glasses, and despite being in his thirties, he makes himself look like he's in his forties or fifties.Wang Yalan was startled to see a stranger in the yard and quickly dressed and went downstairs. Holding a small knife for self-defense, and unsure who the stranger was, she kept a distance of about three meters from her once outside.Who are you? What do you want?Are you heading to the newly built base?"Are you from the base?" Wang Yalan frowned.Several groups of people have come to the base recently, implying that they should bring their children to the base so that their lives can be guaranteed.Orphanage actually has some food reserves, but the weather is too cold, and they don't have many warm clothes and blankets, but they can still manage to live.There's no need to go to the base; she doesn't know what it's like there. Most importantly, the Orphanage children are all under 18, some only a few years old, a time when they desperately need companionship.Su Xiaoyu said bluntly, "Don't take children to the base. The Base Commanders there have special fetishes, and children will not have a good ending if they fall into their hands."Wang Yalan's heart skipped a beat; just as she had expected. Natural disasters can cause anything. If there's nothing to eat, people might resort to cannibalism, let alone these orphaned children."I don't want to go, but I have no choice! There are so many of them, and I'm the only adult. If I try to avoid it, I can't escape it."Su Xiaoyu took off her backpack, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to the woman. Although the woman instinctively took a few steps back, she still caught it steadily."There are six bottles of medicine here. After taking one pill, symptoms will appear two hours later, such as bumps, large patches of red skin, or a foul odor."Next time you feel they're about to arrive, you can have the children take the medication beforehand and say they seem to have contracted an infectious disease and can't go to the base.Also, tell them to stay away and never come here again, to look as pitiful as possible.Wang Yalan hadn't expected such a medicine to exist, "but what if it's harmful to the child!"Su Xiaoyu: " There aren't many people living around Orphanage, so the base doesn't need to make things difficult for you. As long as you don't go out unnecessarily..."Another thing is to ask them for things, whatever you need. You can even kneel down and beg them with your children. Do this a few times and they won't dare to come back.Wang Yalan couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was a man or a woman from the voice, but she figured that the person was tall and thin and should be a boy."Thank you, young man, but how do I relieve the symptoms?"Su Xiaoyu said, "Take one more pill, and it will be gone in 7 days. The symptoms won't cause too much discomfort, at most a little itching."You must tell the children not to tell anyone about this. Also, make sure they're all covered in dirt, so no one will remember them!Wang Yalan nodded solemnly. She felt she could trust the boy in front of her and perhaps help them out of their predicament." Where is Orphanage's warehouse?" Su Xiaoyuasked.Wang Yalan: "Go forward to the fourth room. There's not much left inside. There have been a lot of natural disasters lately. If it weren't for the high altitude here, this place might have been flooded during the heavy rain."
