"The villa area is currently occupied by the base's high-level staff, and there are still ten empty buildings left. These will be distributed according to contribution."

"Like I said about Dr. Lei, he will probably be assigned a permanent position, because vaccine research is not a short-term thing."

"You can also get a share using the method you provided, but it might be short-term, depending on your contribution. You should be able to get a share for three months, and you can renew it after three months."

"According to the current situation, handing in ten level 2 crystal cores will extend your life for a month, but those who possess crystal cores are all people with special abilities. In order to live in villas, they are reluctant to give them up and would rather live in a high-rise apartment."

"Ordinary people are temporarily living in wooden houses, and some are living in container houses."

"The worst situation is living in a greenhouse. There isn't enough room, so this is the temporary arrangement."

Xu Jinyi nodded to show that she understood. In that case, why not just follow the little brother and win without any effort?

Ye Lingshuang began to take the crystal core and absorb the energy inside. Xu Jinyi also closed his eyes to rest, leaving Ye Lingtian driving hard.

An hour later.

“Gurgle gurgle…”

Xu Jinyi opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Lingshuang who was blushing beside him. Seeing that the crystal core in her hand had turned into powder, he nodded affirmatively.

This is a pretty good speed. For those with poor physical fitness and comprehension, it may take two hours or more to absorb the crystal core for the first time.

"Xiao Jin, I did it. Look, it's not as fast as yours, but it's still much faster than eating the powder."

“Gurgle gurgle…”

Xu Jinyi: "Are you sure you don't want to take care of your stomach first?"

Ye Lingshuang was embarrassed!

"I don't know what happened, but stepping into this city was like seeing a ghost. We went to many supermarkets, convenience stores, and small shops, but we couldn't find a single grain of rice."

"It's like they were raided by Japanese invaders, just like that gas station just now. Not even a single instant noodle was left. I don't know who was so powerful."

Xu Jinyi touched his nose, reached into the trunk and took out a sausage and a loaf of bread for her.

Ye Lingshuang's eyes widened, and she excitedly turned over and knelt down to look at the trunk.

He looked at Xu Jinyi in surprise: "So you were the one who emptied it?"

Xu Jinyi had just filled the trunk while giving them a thorough cleaning.

Xu Jinyi looked innocent: "You didn't say you wanted to eat."

Ye Lingshuang: So angry! Couldn't she just ask them if they were hungry?

He gave Xu Jinyi a flattering smile: "Xiao Jin, why don't you support me."

Xu Jinyi looked at her warily: "I only like men!"

Ye Lingshuang drooped her lips. "Alas... the little cabbages are lying in the field, nobody wants them, no one loves them. How pitiful..."

Xu Jinyi: "If you don't want to eat it, give it back to me."

"eat!"

Ye Lingshuang shut up instantly, but still felt embarrassed: "Isn't this bad? You saved us and helped us so much, and now food is so precious, why are you giving it to us?"

Xu Jinyi looked over and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

"Eat, of course I eat. Since I got this ability, I think I can participate in the eating contest."

The fragrant grilled sausages were very tempting, and Ye Lingshuang ate them with great relish.

But she didn't forget that her elder brother was also hungry, so she handed one to him.

Xu Jinyi took a bag of tomato-flavored potato chips and started eating them with a crunch.

When they approached their destination, Xu Jinyi frowned slightly and stopped Ye Lingtian.

"What's wrong? We're almost there."

"The CDC building has fallen and is surrounded by a huge zombie army. If we go over there, I'm afraid we'll be overwhelmed by zombies."

Their pupils shrank. "How could this happen? The security of the CDC building's research institute is comparable to a bank vault. How could it have been breached?"

Xu Jinyi glanced at the people from the Flame Base opposite the CDC building, and his eyes turned cold.

What a good trick to divert the trouble. He really would do anything to save his life.

No wonder the little brother followed them in his previous life. It turned out that it was not voluntary, but he was forced to do so.

Now, several parts of the CDC building have been exploited by zombies, and some researchers have died, but most of them are still survivors.

After all, a place like the CDC has many security gates.

But being stuck in there like this, food might be a problem.

Xu Jinyi glanced at the group of researchers whose lips were peeling and faces were pale from hunger and shook his head.

If they continue like this, they will need the nearest rescue for another day. By then, the people from the Flame Base will have achieved their goal and taken all their machines, data, and manpower.

Of course they can't fight against zombies, but they will definitely do so to lure them away.

Especially with the ruthless methods of their leader, he would definitely send a few people to make a big noise to divert the enemy, and then they would go to rescue them in a disgusting way.

Looking at the leading man, a murderous look flashed across Xu Jinyi's eyes.

"You guys drive away and find a place to hide. I'll contact you when the situation stabilizes."

The brother and sister both disagreed: "Where are you going? How can we leave you behind with so many zombies?"

Xu Jinyi looked at the two of them with a hint of disdain: "Why are you following me? Are you just making things worse?"

Both of them looked embarrassed.

"There's food and guns in this car. Find a place to hide. I'm leaving."

With that, Xu Jinyi got out of the car wearing her red high heels.

Jiang Nan wanted to divert the blame and harm her younger brother, but it was not that easy.

Although she is a zombie and will not be attacked if she wanders among them, her zombie identity will be easily exposed.

So Xu Jinyi was already wearing a light shield to cover himself.

In the basement laboratory of the CDC building, several assistants in white coats looked anxious and frustrated.

"What should we do? The doctor fainted from hunger. What should we do if the zombies outside don't leave?"

The assistants' faces turned pale, and as Lei Haoyu fell, they panicked as if they had lost their backbone.

"Are we really going to agree to the people at the Blazing Base? But how are their conditions any different from those of bandits? Why should we let them allocate our experimental machines?"

"We even have to submit all experimental data to them daily. What's the difference between them and bandits?"

"The doctor won't agree. These are the results of his hard work. We can't make the decision."

Another life assistant, Xiao Chen, was anxious: "But the doctor has fainted now. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

"I'm going to go out and see if the zombies have left, and then contact the people from other bases to see if they've arrived."

Another researcher, Jiang Ci, used facial recognition to open the door, walked to the isolation area, and then walked to the monitoring area outside.

Apart from the lack of food and water, they are relatively safe here for the time being.

Even if there are zombies everywhere outside, they can't get in. The security door can only be opened from the inside, and no one from the outside can get in.

Arriving at the surveillance and communication room, Jiang Ci immediately spotted a distinctive figure among the crowd of zombies outside.
