Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 110 - "Okay. But how will you repay me?" (1)
"Little Three," Bei Nuan called out to Little Three in her mind, "What's the punishment for not doing stage 2 of the Holy Mother's radiance task?"
Little Three smoothly answered, "Did you not see the last line in the task description? If you don't do it, your pocket space will be closed off to you for a week."
So cruel! Not having access to her pocket space would be very problematic. Taking care of the team's basic needs would be very inconvenient without it.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Bei Nuan quickly said, "Anyways, I just need to increase my Holy Mother value a little bit in front of him. It doesn't matter how much, right?"
Little Three replied in a pleased tone, "That's right. Don't forget, he also has to praise you for being kind."
Bei Nuan sighed.
The 12-hour period for Song Xiyi was very different from Jiang Fei's. Most of Song Xiyi's 12-hour period would take place at night when they were sleeping. She didn't have many opportunities to increase her Holy Mother value to begin with.
She could only take things one step at a time.
As usual, her first step of action was to be within sight of her target person.
Bei Nuan walked to the door of the small cafeteria and told the guard that she wanted to go downstairs to see Captain Song.
Song Xiyi was just downstairs.
It was almost bedtime, and the college students were taking turns washing up. The people that were waiting to use the bathrooms were gathered in small groups and quietly chatting or playing games.
Song Xiyi wasn't on duty for once and was sitting on his makeshift bed with a guy with glasses. They were both on the defense team and were discussing the rotations for guard duty tonight.
Song Xiyi saw Bei Nuan coming over and happily greeted her.
"Lu Xingchi sent me to ask you guys if you need anything else," Bei Nuan pretended she had orders from the big boss.
Song Xiyi thought it over. "The supplies you guys brought back today will last us for a long time. I don't think we need anything else for now."
The glass-wearing boy pushed up the damaged temples on his glass and suddenly said, "There is one thing. We don't have much commonly used medicine here. We might have a need for more in the future."
"You guys need medicine? That's great!" Bei Nuan was elated.
With the two boys looking at her incredulously, Bei Nuan cleared her throat and changed her phrasing, "What medicine do you guys need? Want to make a list? We might be able to go out to look for them."
"Okay!" The glass-wearing boy stood up. "I'll go survey everyone to see what medicine is needed."

When Lu Xingchi came out of the shower, he instinctively looked around the room and discovered that Bei Nuan was gone again.
Her disappearance was unusual this time. Jiang Fei was still here.
Where had she run off to by herself?
Lu Xingchi looked everywhere in the small cafeteria before going downstairs. As soon as he reached the first floor, he found Bei Nuan even with so many people around.
Bei Nuan was sitting on a mat with a boy. Their heads were almost touching, and they were scribbling on a paper.
The boy was quite handsome. Lu Xingchi vaguely recognized him as the defense team's captain. Song something? He was outstanding among his peers. She was quite good at picking.
Lu Xingchi didn't walk over. He crossed his arms and leaned on the railing of the stairs as he calmly observed them. After waiting there for a while, he finally saw Bei Nuan raising her head, exchanging smiles with that boy, saying a few more words, and getting up.
She hurriedly walked towards the stairs with her head lowered and her eyes never straying from the paper she was holding.
Lu Xingchi calmly took two steps to the side, blocking her path. As he expected, she wasn't paying attention and walked right into him. He smoothly reached out a hand to hold her in place.
Bei Nuan blankly raised her head and put her hand on her knocked forehead in a daze. When she saw who she had bumped into, she beamed at him. "Lu Xingchi, I was just looking for you!"
"What's up?" Lu Xingchi asked. He didn't let go of her.
Bei Nuan didn't seem to notice at all that he was holding her against his chest. She held up the paper to show him.
"Song Xiyi said they need a little more of the commonly used medicine. I had them make a list-"
"Song Xiyi?" Lu Xingchi interrupted her. He didn't look at the paper.
"Yeah, Captain Song, the captain of their defense team."
Bei Nuan turned her head with a bit of difficulty and found Song Xiyi, who was looking over here. She smiled and waved at him.
Lu Xingchi freed up one hand and turned her face towards his. He lightly asked, "What medicine?"
Bei Nuan offered the paper that was jam-packed with the names of various drugs. "Just these. It's not much, right? Can we go out to help them get these?"
It was already dark outside and she wanted to go out to help Song Xiyi find medicine.
Lu Xingchi was suddenly not so accommodating. "It's too late today. I want to go to sleep. How about tomorrow?"
Bei Nuan didn't expect him to refuse. She merely mentioned wanting a hair dryer during the day, and he had made a special trip to the downtown area to get it for her. But now, for a serious matter like medicine, he refused?
She couldn't afford to wait till tomorrow.
The second stage of the Holy Mother's radiance task was speedily ticking down from 12 hours. If she waited until they woke up tomorrow, it might be too late.
If she failed to do the task and was locked out from her pocket space, it would be a huge problem.
Bei Nuan clutched his clothes. She looked up at him and softly crooned, "Lu Xingchi, let's go take a trip. Go to sleep later, okay?" Her eyes were full of pleading.
Lu Xingchi lowered his head to look at her. It was rare to see her acting so sincerely spoiled in a cutesy manner, but it was for someone else's sake.
Lu Xingchi held her chin and raised it up. "Want me to go out to look for medicine? Okay. But how will you repay me?"
