Ji Xian: "No wonder they asked us to go to the trading floor. This is just a rough draft."

Gu Qi: "At least they gave us three beds..."

Luo Xingyou: "Although the rate of mutation is extremely fast after being bitten by zombies...but this Mu family base doesn't even do the most basic wound inspection at the entrance. The management is too lax."

Lu Nange: "After killing us 'sucker's', they are anxious to get the crystal core, so they naturally relax."

Luo Xingyou: "No wonder... I was saying there was a testing room right at the door, but they didn't do any testing on us. It seems like they're just greedy for money..."

Ji Xian: "Brother Yan, Nan Nan, what are your plans next?"

Chi Yanzhou: "The management is chaotic and disorganized... It seems we can only rely on ourselves to find people."

Lu Nange: "Well, then, in the next seven days, we'll search all three areas, C, D, and E. If we still can't find anyone, we'll go find Wang Xi and try to move into Area B or Area A."

Chi Yanzhou stood up and asked, "Shall we go to Area E first?"

Shi Xu: "Not many people are at home in Area C right now... I guess the survivors who worked away from home won't start arriving until evening."

The group walked out of the gate of Area C again.

The guard who had taken their crystal cores before glanced at them and suddenly said, "Wait."

He turned to the guardhouse nearby, pulled out a stamp, and stamped the armband they had received when they entered the base. "With this stamp, you can enter and exit Area C freely."

Lu Xici nodded: "Thank you."

Everyone followed what Yangyang had said before and headed towards Area E.

The closer you get to Area E, the more desolate and dilapidated the surrounding scene becomes.

Low tin sheds are stacked one on top of the other, their rusty exteriors covered in stains and graffiti...

The narrow passage was filled with discarded debris and garbage on both sides, and the air was filled with a faint smell of mold and sewage.

Occasionally, a few skinny children with pale faces would run between the huts. Their clothes were so dirty and worn that you couldn't tell their original colors, and they were covered in crooked patches...

The faint sounds of quarrels and children crying around added to the chaos and anxiety.

Lu Nange and his group walked in silence, each step being on the bumpy ground.

The living conditions here are in stark contrast to the neatness and orderliness of Area C.

Lu Beiye suddenly stopped and stared at something not far away for a few seconds...

Lu Nange bent down: "Aye, what's wrong?"

Lu Beiye: "Sister, they are eating insects..."

Everyone stopped when they heard this and followed Lu Beiye's gaze to the side of the road - a few skinny children were squatting there, holding something unclear in their hands and mechanically stuffing it into their mouths.

Wen Qing, Luo Xingyou and Gu Wan opened their mouths but said nothing.

They all thought of Tiantian who had bitten Gu Wan, and remembered that this was not Yanxin, but the Mu family base...

Lu Beiye's voice was so soft that only Lu Nange could hear it: "This kind of insect... tastes the worst, bitter and astringent."

Lu Nange rubbed his hair and said, "Aye, do whatever you want."

Lu Beiye was stunned, as if he hadn't remembered his weak and helpless self for a long time...

He raised his head, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes: "Is it okay?"

Lu Nange opened her backpack, revealing a bag full of bread, and said softly, "Of course. Sister will always be with Ah Ye. Ah Ye can do whatever she wants."
