The car behind was driving on the road closely following Xie Pu Rou's car. The middle-aged woman did not make any noise in the car, but just looked out the window quietly.

The female soldier wrapped the bath towel around the middle-aged woman tighter and took out a bottle of water and handed it to her to drink.

Seeing the woman drink the water obediently, he said to the male soldier in the driver's seat: "Don't be so cautious. Just drive carefully and don't rear-end the car."

"How can we not be cautious? We only have two vehicles, and the majority of the troops have returned to base. What if we accidentally get stuck here?"

The female soldier was speechless: "The owner's car is in front, what else is there to worry about?"

"Think about it yourself, as long as the owner is here, has anyone of us ever been hurt?"

"It seems to make sense." The male soldier's sudden realization made the female soldier feel hopeless.

She turned around and would rather communicate with the middle-aged woman unilaterally than talk to him.

"Where are you from?"

"Why are you there?"

"Do you have any family?"

“…”

I asked a series of questions all the way, but still couldn't get the answer until I arrived at the base.

After arriving at the base, Xie Purou stopped her car in front and signaled the people in the car to get out. She said she wanted to take the middle-aged woman back to the B&B.

"She has no relatives at the base, so I brought her back to the B&B. The money she earned is enough for her to live out the rest of her life in the B&B nursing home."

Upon hearing this, the female soldier handed the middle-aged woman over to Xie Pu Rou. There were too many people in the base, and they couldn't take care of them all even if they brought her back.

The store owner's credit is beyond doubt in the entire base, so it's better to send the person over there than to keep him in the base.

Xie Purou disappeared from the base with the middle-aged woman, and then appeared in the B&B, next to Chu En.

"I found it while I was out. Let's arrange a nursing home for her. The points will be deducted from her account. We'll provide her with the best treatment."

Chu En took the middle-aged woman's hand with a confused look on his face. Before he could ask what was going on, Xie Pu Rou disappeared again.

When she appeared in front of Pei Xue and Xiang Yuanhong, they had been waiting for her for a long time.

There were only a few of them present, along with a recorder who was responsible for taking minutes of the meeting.

Pei Xue made a gesture of invitation, and the recorder pulled out a chair for her. She sat down and got straight to the point.

"There's another beast tide at the north gate of the First Base?"

Pei Xue: "Yes, the beast tide has been coming for several hours."

Xiang Yuanhong: "We will notify you as soon as there is a beast tide as you said. Right now, the two sides are just balancing each other and haven't really started fighting yet."

"Are you sure it's the beast from the last batch of beasts?" Xie Pu Rou frowned.

"Yes! The last time the beast tide came, I saw a small red fox. I wanted to find an opportunity to see if I could catch it, but when the acid rain came, they all suddenly disappeared." Xiang Yuanhong looked eager to try.

"You have no idea how surrounded that little red fox is by those beasts. To be honest, if I were to go up there, I'm not sure I could catch it."

Xie Purou nodded, her eyes firm: "I'll go take a look."

Pei Xue called out to Xie Purou, who was about to leave, "Shopkeeper!"

Then Xie Purou moved so quickly that she disappeared in a flash. He doubted she even heard anyone calling her.

Xie Purou had been to the North Gate once, and now she no longer needed anyone to guide her.

However, the central base took back several survivors from the base and moved them into their base. Bases everywhere were packed with people, and there were obviously a lot more people.

Fortunately, the base was expanded in advance, otherwise the roads would be crowded.

To avoid disrupting the daily lives of the people and to prepare for the return of the mutant beasts, the north gate was extended considerably. Xie Purou wasn't quite where she'd been before; she still had to go a little further.

Walking through the crowded street, Xie Pu Rou noticed that the end of the street was heavily guarded.

Sandbags and other heavy objects were placed on the ground to keep out any residents who wanted to approach the area.

When they saw someone coming alone, they opened their mouths to curse, but when they saw that it was a Qingli girl, they quickly swallowed their words.

"Shopkeeper."

"Yeah." Xie Pu Rou replied indifferently.

After she had passed, the gatekeeper continued to guard the gate with a stern face and did his duty diligently.

One of them patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I'm slow to speak!"

"Come on, we're following base orders. No civilians are allowed near this area."

Generally speaking, if they just shout at people to leave with a stern face, ordinary people will not confront them.

"The owner isn't the stingy person you say he is. It's okay even if you're quick-witted."

Xie Purou passed the defended position, walked a little further away, and looked back.

Lively and deserted, just a few steps away, but with such a huge difference.

As expected, if there is a war, ordinary people will not be told. They will just live well under the protection of the base.

Take the end of the world for example. If the country cannot protect their safety, it will be difficult for ordinary people to save themselves.

The sound of dragons and tigers fighting came from the front, and the calls of animals resounded through the sky.

This sound made the animal's mood sound more unstable than the last time Xie Pu Rou came here.

He quickened his pace and finally arrived at the place where the mutant beasts and humans were fighting. Fortunately, there was no smell of blood this time.

This time, some of the animals were located within the base, so she flew over directly and let M80 find the location of the little red fox in the sky, and landed steadily beside it.

Just as the little red fox felt a familiar breath approaching, he turned around and someone grabbed his fate by the neck.

It looked at the elders of the tribe in panic, and they actually lowered their heads!

Looking at the aunt and uncle who used to dote on it, they also lowered their heads, and even the voices that had just warned humans were much weaker.

The little red fox turned its head with difficulty and annoyance, and met Xie Pu Rou's eyes. Its fox eyes were stunned.

She...why is she here? !

Xie Pu Rou lifted its fur by the neck and easily brought the whole thing together to face her.

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

The little red fox's eyes were dull.

"Don't act stupid! Didn't I tell you not to bother humans?"

These words were not only spoken to the little red fox, but were raised in volume as a soul-searching question to all animals.

No animal answered, and there was silence for a long moment.

They knew that Xie Purou could understand them, so they didn't dare to communicate with her.

The little red fox was still young and not as wary as them. It just felt that they were clearly doing good things, but they were still treated like this by humans!

Its claws scratched the air a few times, its fox ears drooped, its eyes watery, and it cried out in grievance, "We were obviously saving you!"

"Woo woo~ woo woo~ We are here to save humanity, why don't you leave?"
