Luo Fanchen shouted anxiously, tears streaming down her cheeks. She suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the captain tightly:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I'll go with you."

But the man surnamed Li did not stop, but directly pushed Luo Fanchen away:

"Get out of the way. I'll deal with you after I beat him up. You shameless bastards."

Tang Zhou was beaten so hard that he spat out blood on the snow.

Even so, the man surnamed Li still did not stop, as if he was determined to beat Tang Zhou to death.

Luo Fanchen was extremely anxious. Seeing that Tang Zhou was injured, another person was already waving a stick.

She gritted her teeth and rushed forward, then pressed her whole body hard on Tang Zhou, using her back to block the attack for Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou did not resist at first, but when he saw Luo Fanchen was injured, he immediately turned over and pressed Luo Fanchen under him.

He Xiaobei thought, this might be love.

It is because love is hard to obtain that people sing praises to it and appreciate its beauty.

The crowd around was watching the fun, but when they started fighting they retreated far away.

No one dared to step forward to help. Even the other four men in Tang Zhou's team stood far away and watched their captain being beaten.

There was anxiety and worry on their faces, but they still didn't dare to stop it.

He Xiaobei looked at their expressions and felt that this matter seemed to be more complicated than it actually was.

She recalled the look on Luo Fanyu's face when he gave her dumplings in the morning, and the chicken legs in the bowl of chicken bones and potatoes stewed with them.

Then she sighed inwardly:

A gambling father, a sick mother, a cute, handsome, clean and sunny brother, and a sensible girl. If I don’t help her, who will?

But for He Xiaobei, saving people does not necessarily mean fighting and killing.

Picking up a sword and slashing in anger is a common scene for the protagonist in novels, and she is not the protagonist.

So she chose to "bump into someone" in a way that would not be too embarrassing for anyone.

Thinking of this, she pretended to stumble and rushed towards the crowd.

He Xiaobei's pounce directly knocked the captain surnamed Li far away.

The man steadied himself and turned around. Just as he was about to start cursing, he saw He Xiaobei's aggrieved face sitting on the ground, so he quickly stopped.

He Xiaobei sat on the ground feeling extremely aggrieved, staring at Captain Li with his big eyes.

She also raised her right hand which had no scars at all:

"Wuwuwuwuwu, what are you doing? You knocked me down. It hurts. My hand seems to be injured. Wuwuwuwuwuwu."

The captain surnamed Li was speechless for a moment, and walked back and forth on the ground for several steps with his hands on his waist.

Finally, he snorted coldly, but his tone did not contain any fear:

"What's the matter? Miss He, was it me who bumped into you or you who bumped into me? Are you trying to stand up for them?"

"What do you mean by standing out? I was walking along the road peacefully, but I was bumped into by a bunch of you. You have to give me an explanation today."

"Explanation? What explanation does Miss He want? You're used to being a tyrant in the base, and you dare to mess with anyone?"

After saying this, he waved to the people in the team, and suddenly restrained his hostility, then smiled and said to her:

"Miss He, see you later."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the other four people.

He Xiaobei became more alert. This person spoke in a strange way, and seemed to be trying hard to hide something.

After a few people left, Luo Fanchen and Tang Zhou's team members hurried forward and helped the person up.

He Xiaobei also stood up from the ground and patted his body with his hands to shake off the snowflakes and dust.

Tang Zhou was seriously injured, and a group of people checked him out.

It's not just a skin injury. The vomiting of blood just now must have damaged the internal organs. It will probably take some time to recover.

Luo Fanchen looked at He Xiaobei gratefully and bowed directly to her:

"Ms. He, thank you, thank you. If you hadn't intervened, Tang Zhou and I would have been finished today. Wuwuwuwu."

He Xiaobei waved his hands helplessly at her:

"Don't be so quick to thank me. Let's just settle your issues. I don't think they're going to give up. Who did you offend?"

Luo Fanchen gritted his teeth:

"They asked me to accompany someone, saying it was a big shot."

"Big shot? Is that why the patrol came to arrest you?"

He Xiaobei couldn't believe it. This was an official base, not a private base.

What big shot actually dares to use the patrol team to do such a thing? The patrol team at the base are all soldiers!

"Anyway, thank you, Miss He. We'll figure out the rest."

Although Luo Fanchen knew the seriousness of the matter, she didn't want to involve other people after all.

And she thought Miss He was a really nice person, so she didn't mention it anymore.

Several people were chatting as they walked towards home.

"That guy surnamed Li is really powerful? I see you're all patrol captains, why are you afraid of him?"

Tang Zhou was supported by someone and shook his head in pain.

"He was suddenly assigned here a few months ago. He's not an active-duty soldier, and we don't know why. He's not the only one, and several other captains are like this. Before and after their arrival, they only appeared to abide by the rules, but they've done a lot of unethical things behind the scenes. Some people have questioned him, but in the end, nothing was done. We can't do anything about it. He has connections above him, and we really don't dare to mess with him."

No one would feel good if something like this happened during the Chinese New Year.

He Xiaobei had done what he could, and he was in a good mood at the moment.

After arriving home, He Xiaobei took a bath and started cooking.

The rabbit did not have any adverse reaction after eating the dumplings. She ate the dumplings that Luo Fanyu sent her as lunch, and they tasted very good.

Chicken, fish, pig's trotters and cabbage are all indispensable, and there are also a lot of dumplings stuffed with beef and onions.

Eat a little at night and have another meal in the middle of the night, so you won’t be hungry when you stay up all night.

At 6:30 in the evening, He Xiaobei and Lightning started to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, because after the dinner she wanted to go to the square of the base to watch the fireworks.

People are suffering in the last days, but they still have to enjoy themselves.

It not only makes people relax, but also gives them a glimmer of hope.

Fireworks are a product from before the apocalypse. Set them off in small amounts, and the base won't waste resources making them anymore.

Therefore, the base will not release too much information, but people's enthusiasm is still very high.

It was already dark outside. He Xiaobei had just finished cleaning up the dishes and the table when he heard crackling sounds at the foot of the mountain.

She paused and looked at the time. Wasn't it said to be released at 8 o'clock? Why was it so early?

But then she was startled because the sound was not right. It was not the sound of firecrackers at all, but the sound of gunfire.
