Doomsday magician

Chapter 161 Birthday Present
These words hit Xiao Ba's heart one after another, and finally made him speechless.

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Ba said in a low voice: "Then what should we do?"

Gu Qingwan snorted and said, "What else can I do? Unless I'm really willing to let them freeze to death, I can only find a way to occupy another villa. However, I can't give them weapons. Anyway, now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, Zombies can't get in either. Food is only allowed to be carried with you for two days, and the people who are assigned have to come back every two days. As long as you stick to this point, you won't be afraid of their dissatisfaction!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Ba knew that Gu Qingwan would just solve the matter he picked out, even though he was unwilling, he did not dare to confront Gu Qingwan head-on right now.He nodded angrily, temporarily ending the dispute with his admission.

At the same time, Gu Qingwan's dissatisfaction with Xiao Ba also accumulated to a peak.

When he came from the Sichuan-Tibet base, he discovered that Xiao Ba vaguely wanted to get rid of his control, and thus set up his own family.It's just that Xiao Ba had too few resources at that time, so Gu Qingwan was able to completely suppress him.But with the development of his own strength, Xiao Ba also unknowingly wins over a group of subordinates, who intends to compete with him.

Gu Qingwan, who had already become vigilant, looked at the back of Xiao Ba leaving, and pondered for a long time.

"Captain Xu, I've been working very hard these days, think of me first when you eat food next time!"

"Don't worry, there are people in the team scoring, and they will definitely not die for selfishness."

"Thank you!"

As the vegetables grew, such conversations would be staged in the team every day, which made Xu Bai feel dizzy.

The savior or something, that one is far away, and it's too clichéd.

Perhaps because of the heavy snow, both the zombie animals and the zombie birds settled down.These days, the convoy has never seen any zombies.Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Bai tried his best to familiarize himself with magic.At the same time, I also learned some routines from Leopard and Cen Baobao. Although it was just a temporary crutch, it was better than nothing.

Anyway, Yi Duo is not overwhelmed, and idleness is idleness.

Before I knew it, it was the end of November.

The heavy snow that had been flattened intermittently for more than half a month finally stopped, but the sky did not clear up, and it was always so gloomy.The temperature didn't drop but didn't rise, and it kept hovering at minus seven or eight degrees, which slowed down the melting speed of the heavy snow infinitely.At the same time, the low temperature and lack of sunlight also slow down the growth of vegetables in the plastic greenhouses.

As for how much they can gain in the end, the survivors of the team have a question mark in their hearts.

Fortunately, they planted enough at that time, even if the growth was not good, they could always eat a few meals.

This morning, when Xu Bai got up and walked around the vegetable shed as usual, the leopard suddenly came over.

"You said, is there a better gift for a girl Sheng?"

Leopard's straight-forward question stunned Xu Bai: "To whom? What kind of gift? Is it a courtship?"

Leopard smiled shyly, shook his head and said, "Where is it? I plan to give it to Baby Cen. It will be her birthday in two days. Although our conditions are not good, I think we must give her a surprise. After all, in the last days No one knows how long they can live, one day counts as one!"

"So it's Baby Cen's birthday!"

Xu Bai nodded, but he didn't usually do much research on this.In his opinion, before the end of the world, there were more gifts for girls such as dolls, pillows, beautiful ornaments and handbags.Because he didn't know what Cen Baobao liked, Xu Bai could only give Leopard some advice and let him prepare by himself.

After sending the leopard away, Xu Bai felt that he should also prepare something for Cen Baobao.

However, when he was thinking about the word birthday, he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally remembered that Zhang Yu'er's birthday is coming soon!

That's right, the last day of November!
Thinking of this, Xu Bai felt a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, Leopard accidentally reminded him, otherwise Zhang Yuer would be very disappointed if she forgot Zhang Yuer's birthday.

Before the end of the day, a man who forgot his girlfriend's birthday was obviously incompetent.But the post-apocalyptic situation is different, Xu Bai and Zhang Yuer also have specific backgrounds.The two have only been together for a few months, and they have to deal with zombies and find ways to survive. How can they have so much leisure time to think about romantic affairs?If Zhang Yu'er hadn't accidentally mentioned her own birthday when she was alone with him, Xu Bai probably wouldn't even know what date it is!
Today is the 29th of November, wouldn't it be tomorrow?

Xu Bai suddenly realized that he was in a hurry and had to prepare birthday presents for the two girls.

For ordinary people, surviving in the last days is their greatest wish, and they don't even think about their birthdays.But since Xu Bai has magic, he naturally wants to pursue a better life.So, he looked carefully at the public supplies of the convoy, trying to see if he could find a suitable gift for a girl!

But then again, what does Zhang Yuer like?

At this moment, Xu Bai realized that he was a bit incompetent as a man.Zhang Yu'er never asked for anything, but Xu Bai was embarrassed by this obedient and considerate attitude.

"By the way, I might as well give you a diamond ring."

Xu Bai suddenly remembered that in the study room of this villa, the survivors once dug out a diamond ring contained in an exquisite jewelry box.The person who found it at the time even teased Xue Ting, saying that it was his uncle who was bothered.Maybe, I can get that and give it to Zhang Yu'er

Well, it's time to propose a marriage...

This thought made Xu Bai secretly nod.

He asked quickly, and finally learned that the diamond ring had fallen into Xue Ting's hands again.After all, this thing in the last days cannot be eaten or drunk, and its value has been greatly reduced, and no one would think of greedy for it.Considering that this villa belonged to Xue Ting's uncle, Xue Ting finally let Xue Ting keep the diamond ring.

Given my relationship with Xue Ting, it should be easy to get that diamond ring.

In fact, it was indeed the case. After being called by Xu Bai, Xue Ting readily agreed as soon as she heard it: "I thought it was something, it's easy to say!"

A few minutes later, the shining diamond ring landed on Xu Bai's palm.The natural k gold ring reveals pure luster, and the classic heart-shaped six-claw setting style further highlights the charm of this diamond ring.With this gift, Zhang Yu'er must be satisfied.

"I heard that before the end of the world, my uncle seemed to intend to divorce. Maybe this diamond ring was bought for my new aunt who has never met. As far as I know, when this diamond ring was found, there was a silver ribbon on the outside of the gift box." It seems that no one has worn it before, so it’s perfect to give it away.” Xue Ting had already guessed what Xu Bai was going to use it for, so she introduced it attentively.

"Very good, thank you."

Before, Xu Bai still had a bit of a grudge in his heart, but after hearing that the ring was brand new, he let go of his last worry.

Next, he had to find a way to prepare a birthday cake.

As soon as the sun came out the next day, Xu Bai got up early.In order to surprise Zhang Yuer, Xu Bai deliberately pretended not to know anything, and didn't say happy birthday to her.Maybe it's because the life in the last days is very different from the past. Yu'er herself seems to have forgotten that today is a special day for her, and she looks no different from usual.

"Well, I will definitely give you a surprise today!"

As the contact time with Zhang Yu'er got longer, Xu Bai fell in love with her more and more.If you are in a dangerous situation now, there are zombies everywhere outside. Since conditions permit, Xu Bai will do his best.

Thinking of this, he spared no effort to prepare a cream cake.However, in the apocalyptic world where all kinds of supplies are scarce, it is more difficult to do this than single-handedly fighting a third-order zombie.After all, it has been a long time since the end of the world, and most of the ready-made bread and cakes have been eaten or broken.It is not easy to find a suitable base for cakes.

In desperation, Xu Bai could only do it by himself.

Flour and sugar are not lacking, they are in the caravan.There are also several bags of yeast. I don’t know who brought them back down the mountain before, and they said they kept them for steaming steamed buns.But the problem is, Xu Bai has never made dough before, and he doesn't know how to bake it either.

After being depressed for a while, Xu Bai could only ask the person in charge of cooking in the team's logistics department.

Seeing Xu Bai go out in person, the older woman who was stewing the rice readily agreed to help: "My man was a chef before the end of the world, and I have learned a lot from him, and I will keep it on me." Fortunately, they chose a Stay temporarily in a luxurious villa, and the kitchen is fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils.Xue Ting's uncle has hardly used it, and now it's all cheaper than Xu Bai.

Soon, a fresh cake came out of the oven steaming, but the shape was very ugly.

"There is no cocoa powder and no eggs, so I can only make do with it. Besides, I haven't made it for a while. How about we try again?" The chef's wife looked at it and tore off another small piece After tasting it, I couldn't help but blushed.If the cake shop before the end of the world is at this level, it must go bankrupt.

Xu Bai nodded. Although he hoped that she would do a good job, he still comforted him: "Just do your best, and you don't have to force it."

"Ok."

The chef's wife nodded, and after three repeated attempts, she finally made a decent cake.

If you want to make a cream cake, you must use cream.Xu Bai didn't need to look around for this one, he dug out a bag of butter that seemed to have been there for a long time from the bottom of the empty refrigerator in the kitchen, it should be left over from the pastry chef hired by the villa before the end of the world.Although the freezer stopped working due to lack of electricity after the snow, the temperature in the villa is not high, so it should not be broken.

"There is a little less cream, but let's make do with it."

After looking at the final cake, which was not that good in appearance, the chef's wife said that she had tried her best.

"That's fine."

Xu Bai looked and looked left and right, feeling a little complacent.Just when he was about to hide the finished cake, Xu Bai suddenly realized that he had forgotten one thing, that happy birthday hadn't been written on the cake yet.

"There's no more cream...or, instead, melted chocolate syrup."

This is also a method, but even though I tried it in other places, the words written on it were still crooked when I finished the work, looking like tadpoles crawling.

"Yu'er, happy birthday."

The signature is Xu Bai who loves you.
