In the institute.

Jingzhe was taken into an independent room with only one exit: the door.

"Jingzhe," Zhao Li said in a deep voice, "You are still alive because everyone has seen the importance of the evolutionary fluid. So, you must do your best to research the evolutionary fluid as soon as possible, understand?"

"Base Commander, I understand." Jingzhe lowered his head, his tone a little dull, "I will do my best to do research!"

Before this, he thought he was going to die and had already made plans to die as a token of atonement.

But I didn't expect that he could survive.

Although he cannot leave the research institute, and will be expelled from the base after developing the evolutionary fluid.

But it was enough to surprise him.

He felt sorry for the base and for his dead compatriots. All he could do was to try his best to develop a high-concentration evolutionary fluid with low side effects as soon as possible.

The dean came over and said, "Don't worry, Base Director. I will be responsible for watching over Jingzhe and will never let him leave the institute."

"Then it's hard work, Dean."

"This is what I should do." The dean's voice sounded much older.

After Zhao Li left, the dean looked at Jing Zhe in the small room and sighed deeply.

Meeting the dean's complicated gaze, Jingzhe opened his mouth, but ultimately just lowered his head guiltily.

……

There are only about 5,000 people left in Base M.

Although there is much less pressure on material needs, no one will be happy about it.

After all, more than 10,000 lives were lost.

In the cafeteria, Lu Xinyi, Hua Dai and the other three sat together eating breakfast.

Today's breakfast is a small bowl of porridge with a small dish of pickles.

"Today, the base commander convened a meeting of all the field teams." Hua Dai drank a mouthful of porridge and said, "The focus of the base's development in the future will be to take in the survivors. Of course, collecting supplies is also essential."

"Aren't you going out again?" Lu Xinyi asked.

Hua Dai nodded and said, "I want to try to convince Shan Xiong to merge Xiongba Base into M Base, as well as Tan Jiashuo's group."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Hua Dai chuckled: "It's a little difficult, but let's try."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Lu Xinyi and the others and asked, "Miss Lu, are you going together?"

"Xiongba Base?"

"Correct."

Lu Xinyi thought about it and said, "Go ahead."

After finishing the remaining porridge, Lu Xinyi stood up and followed Hua Dai out, saying, "Don't you have any fresh vegetables in your base?"

“There are plantings, but vegetables also need a growing period.”

"There are no wood-type mutants?"

"Yes, but very few." Hua Dai understood what she meant and said, "Wood-type psychics can indeed speed up the growth of plants, but our base already has over ten thousand people, and only a few wood-type psychics can still not supply enough plants."

Lu Xinyi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "I do have some fresh vegetables in my space. The base can exchange them with me for crystal cores."

"Really?" Hua Dai looked at her in surprise, "Change it! Of course I have to change it!"

Who doesn’t want to eat fresh vegetables?

She almost vomited after eating dry food every day.

At that moment, she had no time to go to the Xiongba base, so she took Lu Xinyi to see Zhao Li.

Zhao Li was even more surprised when he learned that he could trade supplies with Lu Xinyi.

"Change, change, change! No matter what price Miss Lu offers, I will change it!"

Lu Xinyi did not ask for a high price. She gave Base M the same price as the original transaction price with Dawn Base and Rising Sun Base.

After learning that the price was not expensive, and even a bit cheap, Zhao Li was grateful again.

Then, he traded five thousand crystal cores without hesitation.

Including staple foods such as rice and flour, fresh vegetables, meat, dry food such as biscuits and instant noodles, and even a batch of daily necessities were exchanged.

After the transaction, Zhao Li couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ms. Lu, how come you have so many supplies?"

She can take out so many supplies so easily. Isn't her space capacity too big?

Lu Xinyi said calmly: "I have my own way."

Hearing the alienation and vigilance in her words, Zhao Li hurriedly said, "Ms. Lu, please don't misunderstand me. I just asked casually and didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I am very grateful that you are willing to trade supplies with our base. How dare I repay kindness with enmity?"

Lu Xinyi smiled but said nothing.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Li was wholeheartedly devoted to Base M, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to offer to trade supplies with him.

"Ms. Lu, you said this is mutant goose meat?" Zhao Li was counting the materials for the transaction. When he saw a pile of cleaned goose meat in front of him, he asked curiously, "Can mutant goose meat be eaten?"

"Of course." Lu Xinyi pointed at the goose meat in front of her and said, "This goose meat is only from one goose."

"How can a goose have so much meat?" Zhao Li asked in surprise, "It must be over a hundred kilograms, right? Can a mutant goose be this big?"

"Otherwise, can it be called a mutant goose?"

Zhao Li laughed: "Miss Lu is right. If mutant goose meat is edible, then in the future, we won't have to limit our collection of supplies to food produced by humans."

What about mutant geese and mutant pigs? As long as they haven’t mutated into zombies, can’t we eat them all?

Thinking of this, Zhao Li felt much happier.

"If you want to hunt mutant animals, you can't go to the city, you have to go to the suburbs and the countryside." Lu Xinyi reminded.

Zhao Li nodded and said, "I will remind the field team to go out to the suburbs and countryside more often."

After leaving Zhao Li's office, Hua Dai came to Lu Xinyi and whispered, "Miss Lu, shall we eat goose meat for lunch today? We can pay for the meal."

"Okay." Lu Xinyi chuckled, "No need to pay for food, I'll treat you guys."

"Oh, that's great!" Hua Dai hugged her excitedly, "Ms. Lu, you two should stay at M Base and don't go back!"

"That won't work." Lu Xinyi refused without hesitation, "We will leave sooner or later."

Hua Dai's excitement instantly subsided, and she sighed, "Then why don't you stay a few more days before leaving?"

"That's possible." Lu Xinyi replied.

Although she was at M Base, she was always aware of the situation at Oasis Base.

Everything is fine at the Oasis Base at the moment, so she doesn't need to rush back.

A group of nine people drove two cars out of Base M.

Although Hua Dai decided to look for Shan Xiong, she did not know the exact location of Xiongba's base. She could only look for it as she walked along the direction Shan Xiong left when they parted that day.

However, before looking for the Xiongba base, the few of them found a place to have lunch first.

"Are we really going to eat mutant goose meat for lunch today?" Yuan Yi almost couldn't help drooling when he heard that he could eat goose meat.

Lu Xinyi didn't say anything and directly took out a large piece of goose meat.

"Ahhh!" Yuan Yi shouted excitedly, "Great! I can eat meat again!"

Goose meat!

This is real goose meat!
