Even though there wasn't much emotion in his gray pupils, the boy's grievance was still visible to the naked eye, and the dog's tail grass above his head was wilting.

Yun Qian ruffled Mu Li's gray hair, and a few tufts of gray hair stood up unruly, revealing some arrogance.

"I went to work today. The place I went to was a bit far away. I didn't mean to come back so late."

Muli made some vague noises from his throat, like the grunting of a puppy when it was dissatisfied.

Mu Li held Yun Qian's hand and exerted a little force. Yun Qian fell down on the sofa. He found a comfortable position and continued to cling to Yun Qian.

Yun Qian reluctantly let him hold her. Mu Li put his head on Yun Qian's shoulder and pointed at Yun Qian's usual cup on the table.

The cup was filled with water. Yun Qian leaned over and picked up the cup with the human-shaped pendant on her body. The water inside was still hot.

The temperature of the hot water stained the rim of the cup, and the temperature was just right when he drank it. Yun Qian drank a whole cup of water in one breath.

Sometimes the escort team worked outside all night for many days, eating only portable and ready-to-eat food and barely drinking hot water. This led to Yun Qian not liking to drink hot water.

But now after drinking this cup of hot water, Yun Qian felt that the fatigue of the day had been relieved, and she sighed comfortably.

After Yun Qian drank the water, she suddenly remembered that she was still wearing a dirty combat uniform. She quickly pushed Mu Li away from her body, and Mu Li was pushed to the side of his head.

"I'll take a shower first."

Without saying a word, Yun Qian rushed into the bathroom, forgetting to take her pajamas.

Mu Li tilted his head for a few seconds, then raised his ears and listened intently to what was going on in the bathroom.

Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, a hesitant voice came from the bathroom.

"Muli, can you... get me some pajamas? It's on the bed in my room."

Yun Qian turned off the shower. A few seconds after she finished shouting, she heard footsteps coming from the living room to a certain bedroom.

She was actually a little worried that Muli wouldn't understand what she meant, but after observing it over the past few days, Muli's understanding ability was much better than she thought, and it was improving every day, and he had an amazing learning ability.

Yun Qian was lost in thought until a gentle knock on the door woke her up.

She opened the door a crack, stretched out her hand to fumble for her pajamas, and was grabbed by Muli's hand. The two held their hands briefly for a few seconds.

Because Yun Qian had just taken a shower, the temperature of her palms was very high. In comparison, the temperature of Mu Li's palms seemed very low.

Mu Li held Yun Qian's hand, put the nightgown he got into Yun Qian's hand, and patted Yun Qian's wrist.

Yun Qian retracted his hand and quickly closed the door. Mu Li took all the clothes and had everything he needed.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door was opened, and Yun Qian walked out, her cheeks a little red, maybe from the heat or something.

Muli was still sitting cross-legged on the corner of the sofa, hugging the pillow and dazing. He liked to sit on the sofa and daze. Yun Qian even wondered if Muli had spent the whole day here without her.

She waved to Muli: "Have you taken a shower?"

Mu Li nodded confusedly.

"Then let's go to bed."

Due to urgent tasks, taking Mu Li to the headquarters for inspection was delayed.

It was a rare day for the escort team to have a day off, so Yun Qian put this matter on the agenda.

The headquarters has specialized research institutes and inspection institutions. The inspection institutions are different from traditional hospitals, because the disease mutations in the apocalypse are no longer something ordinary hospitals can solve.

The inspection agency can do not only examination and treatment, but also some special healing methods, which are managed by the institute.

Yun Qian swiped her pass card and took Mu Li to the inspection agency. She followed the instructions on the huge electronic screen map on the first floor to the inspection department.

There were two people sitting in the office of the examination department, one was the director of the examination department, and the other was the heroine Liu Qian.

Yun Qian knocked on the door and entered, and the two people inside stopped what they were talking about.

Liu Qian remembered Yun Qian and nodded to express greetings when she saw her. The director beside her was also very familiar with Yun Qian.

Everyone in the escort team must have a comprehensive examination every three months. They are the ones who have the most contact with zombies outside, and the headquarters must check whether anyone is infected with the virus.

When the director saw Yun Qian, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why are you here? Didn't you just have an examination last month?"

Yun Qian smiled slightly: "It's not me, I brought someone to check."

"Oh?" The director's eyes moved to the tall, thin and delicate young man behind Yun Qian, with gray hair and gray eyes, as if God did not use too many colors when creating him.

Therefore, the colorful graffiti on the boy's clothes and the green dogtail grass on his head are particularly conspicuous.

"Are you free now?" Yun Qian glanced at Liu Qian next to the director.

The director took a blank checklist from the table, signed his name with the pen hanging on the chest pocket of his white coat, and then handed the checklist to Yun Qian.

"I can't leave here for now. You go down with the list first. I'll prepare the electronic version here. You can just keep the paper version after checking it. You are familiar with the inspection process, so you don't need to bring it with me. Alright?"

Yun Qian waved her hand, "No, I can complete the inspection process with my eyes closed, so I won't disturb you for now."

Then Yun Qian took Mu Li and left the office.

The director started preparing an electronic version of the checklist on the light-screen computer, and Liu Qian looked away from Mu Li.

She asked: "Is that boy from the escort team?"

The director took some time off from the computer and looked up, "The escort team hasn't recruited new people recently. It shouldn't be the case. It's just a new face."

Liu Qian nodded thoughtfully.

The first step in the examination was to draw blood. Muli sat on the chair and waited obediently for the blood draw. The blood vessels and veins were clearly visible on his pale arms.

The doctor responsible for drawing blood came over with a tray containing alcohol syringes and cotton.

Yun Qian was worried that Mu Li would be scared, so she whispered, "You can close your eyes if you're afraid."

Mu Li smiled obediently at Yun Qian, and then the child watched with big gray puppy eyes as the needle pierced his arm.

Yun Qian: "..."

Okay, no need to worry.

No matter what Mu Li is asked to do, he should look like this silly and sweet.

Yun Qian noticed that the color of the blood drawn by the needle was not like the color of normal people's blood. Normal people's blood was darker, but Muli's blood was lighter, even a little pink.

She stood next to Mu Li and stared at Mu Li with lowered eyes. Mu Li watched curiously as the needle went in and was pulled out. The doctor quickly blocked the needle opening with a ball of cotton and motioned to Mu Li to hold it.

Mu Li didn't understand, so he tilted his head and looked at Yun Qian. Yun Qian directly helped Mu Li hold down the cotton ball.

After drawing the blood, he should have sat down and rested for a while, but Muli, the tiger boy, stood up immediately and even wanted to draw another tube of blood with great interest.

Yun Qian held her forehead and dragged her to the rest area to sit down and wait for the next project.

After all the items were completed, everything seemed new to Muli. Only a few items for which the results would be available soon were filled in on the paper version of the inspection form. The complete inspection results would not be available until a few days later. Yun Qian First, he took Muli back to the apartment.

Mu Li was still very excited when he returned to the apartment, but Yun Qian was the only one sitting there exhausted.

Sure enough, people of this age simply have endless energy.
