The man they saw being beaten by the patrol when they came yesterday was still tied to the cross in the square.

Lu Xinyi saw the sneaky figure running towards the man.

I think it must be the woman I saw yesterday who tried to dissuade the man.

Judging from their ages, they should be a couple.

The woman carefully avoided the patrol team and came to the man. She said something to the man, took out a potato from her arms and hurriedly stuffed the potato into the man's mouth.

However, at this moment, a sharp rebuke sounded.

The woman was discovered by the patrol.

There was no shelter on all sides of the square, so it was inevitable that the women would be discovered.

A member of the patrol team rushed over quickly, kicked the woman to the ground, and punched the man hard in the face, causing the man to spit out the potatoes he had just eaten along with blood.

The man had been beaten yesterday and was already very weak and dying.

Besides, it was winter now and it was very cold. He had been exposed to the cold wind for a day and a night, and now he had been punched, making him even weaker.

Seeing that her man was almost breathing, the woman ignored her own pain, and hurriedly got up to stand in front of the man, begging the patrol team for mercy in pain.

Instead, the patrol team beat the couple even more severely.

The patrol stopped beating the woman only after both of them were beaten black and blue. They dragged the woman to the shantytown, threw her away, and left.

The woman lay on the ground for a long time before she slowly got up, glanced at the man in the square, turned around and staggered towards her shack.

Lu Xinyi closed the door quietly.

The couple are both from the Rising Sun Base.

But that man violated the rules of the Cheetah Base. Even if Ji Yunzhe could continue to be in charge of the Rising Sun Base, he probably wouldn't be able to save him.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Xinyi and the other person still followed the main group to work.

As she passed the square, she saw two men taking down a man from the cross.

But the man had no consciousness and his limbs were stiff.

Obviously, the man was dead.

The two men carried the man away from the square.

Lu Xinyi looked at them calmly and found that the two men were carrying the man to the place where the zombies were imprisoned.

Are you planning to use this man's body to feed the zombies?

She withdrew her gaze and searched for the figure of the woman from last night.

After searching for a while, she saw the woman in another team.

The woman's face was covered in bruises. Her eyes were empty and numb as she stared in the direction where the man was being carried away. Her face was so calm that no emotion could be seen.

The whole person seemed like a mindless walking corpse.

Although the person is still alive, his heart is dead.

She stopped looking at the woman and followed the group into the villa area.

As soon as she arrived at the villa area, she saw Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo walking towards her from the opposite direction.

Ji Yunzhe noticed her, but just glanced at her casually and then looked away as if nothing had happened, without staying on her for even a second.

Lu Xinyi seemed not to see him and continued walking forward.

After walking a few steps, she noticed two people following Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo.

I guess the three base commanders must not fully trust him and are still observing him.

It’s right not to trust them. If these three base commanders believed Ji Yunzhe easily, they would be fools.

"you!"

A voice suddenly came, pulling Lu Xinyi back to her senses.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sui Changfeng coming from a fork in the road, raising his hand and pointing at her.

"It's you, the one with the big belly, come here!"

Lu Xinyi walked up to him, raised a flattering smile, and said, "Brother Sui, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Your name……"

"Xia Yunzhu."

"Where's your man?"

Lu Xinyi became a little alert, but she remained calm and said, "My man is in the logging team, he's out cutting trees."

"I remember your man's name is..."

"Lu Jiu."

"Yes, Lu Jiu, is he a fire-type mutant?"

"Brother Sui has a really good memory."

"I have a mission the day after tomorrow. Let him come with me. I want to see how strong he is."

Lu Xinyi immediately raised a surprised smile and said, "Really? Thank you, Brother Sui! My man will definitely perform well and will not let Brother Sui down!"

She thought to herself that the task proposed by Sui Changfeng must be to attack her logistics distribution center.

But she didn't expect that Sui Changfeng would actually let Qin Ju go with him.

But it’s also good, so that Qin Ju and Ji Yunzhe can take care of them when the time comes.

When she returned to the shed at night, she told Qin Jue about this.

"Why would Sui Changfeng let me go with him?" Qin Ju asked worriedly, "Is he suspicious of us?"

Lu Xinyi shook her head. "In the past two days since we came here, apart from chatting with others and secretly inquiring about the base, we have not taken any other actions, let alone contacting anyone from the Rising Sun Base. We should not be suspected."

"Why is that?" Qin Ju frowned, looking puzzled.

"Maybe he just saw me and suddenly remembered that you are a fire-type mutant, so he decided to let you go with him."

Qin Ju thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he stopped worrying about it.

He touched his stomach, looked at Lu Xinyi shyly, and whispered, "Xinyi, I'm hungry."

At his own base, he has rice every day, and he can eat chicken, duck, fish and meat whenever he wants. His taste has long been developed.

During the past two days at the Cheetah Base, no breakfast was provided in the morning, and at noon there was only a bowl of watery white porridge and a potato slightly larger than an egg.

The same is true at night.

If Xinyi hadn't given him a snack at night, he would have been starving to death and become a useless man who couldn't even lift a finger.

Lu Xinyi knew that he would lose strength when hungry, so when she heard that he was hungry, she quickly took out a box lunch and handed it to him.

"Eat it. I still have a lot. If you don't have enough, add more."

"That's enough. One box is enough."

Qin Jue said as he opened the lid of the box. Inside were plump, crystal-clear rice grains, fried small river fish that were golden on both sides, soft and glutinous braised pork trotters, and juicy green vegetables with garlic flavor.

"The food in our base is still the best." He sighed and started eating happily.

Lu Xinyi couldn't help but smile and took out a box lunch.

She really couldn't stand the food at the Cheetah Base and had to have extra meals.

The two of them finished their lunch boxes gracefully but not slowly.

Just as she put away the empty lunch box, Lu Xinyi keenly heard some unusual noises outside.

"How--"

"Shh." She made a gesture to Qin Jue to keep quiet, and her face suddenly became serious.

Turning her head, she looked towards the door, with a hint of sharpness in her eyes.

Because she heard the sound of dragging, stiff footsteps outside the door, and a slight hoarse sound coming from the throat.
