Chapter 171 Unprecedented Turmoil
In the end, the angry Wang Youde punished himself by stopping talking and becoming a silent gas pot.
When Xu Siming came out after dissecting the first zombie, he saw Zhou Kai and Ji Wanwan trying to hold back their laughter, and Wang Youde smoking.
In the next few days, everyone was busy investigating.
Not surprisingly, this time, nothing was found.
Some unusual sounds have begun to appear in the base.
Rumors like, the lord is too young and lacks experience; he only looks at appearances and doesn't care about ability; that Xia Li doesn't look normal and is said to be half-infected, etc...
Along with these rumors, Lord Ji Wanwan became visibly irritable, and people often saw her lecturing her subordinates in public.
Due to the pressure from the lord, these subordinates inevitably acted in an extreme manner, causing dissatisfaction among many people in the base.
In the extremely cold weather, people's hearts are already unstable. Coupled with the pressure from the core personnel, the atmosphere in the base is extremely tense, and the hostility between people is particularly strong. Fights often break out over a disagreement.
But before one problem is solved, another one arises. New zombies appear in the base, which is already full of complaints.
This time, it is the villa area.
There lived a family of seven in Villa No. 09, and without exception, all of them had mutated.
They were discovered by the survivors from Villa No. 08 next door.
They were shoveling snow in the yard in the morning when they heard a loud bang coming from Villa No. 09 next door. Turning back through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, they saw zombies staring at them in the house.
Fortunately, the glass in the villa is double-layer tempered glass that is soundproof and heat-insulating, and is not so easy to break.
Although there were fewer people in the villa area, the news of the appearance of new zombies spread like wildfire, causing huge waves in the already precarious base.
After such a long time, whether it is the previous disappearance of personnel or the current sudden mutation, the base has never given an explanation. How can we live in peace in such a base?
Many survivors began to strike to express their dissatisfaction with the base.
After Ji Wanwan, the lord, arrived at the scene, he was very angry at Wu Xun and Xia Li, and implicitly accused them of poor performance and allowing zombies to infiltrate the base again.
In order to calm people's hearts, she also ordered the base personnel to go to the central square to prepare for a brainwashing speech.
But when the time came, less than half of the people showed up.
Everyone had the same reason: the weather was too cold, the snow was too deep, and their bodies couldn't handle it, so they decided not to come.
Ji Wanwan was so angry that she stormed out, leaving the central square crowded with people, and she and the other core members looked at each other in bewilderment.
On that day, the base fell into unprecedented turmoil, the strike further expanded, and the entire base fell into a semi-paralyzed state.
Late at night, the top floor of the center building is brightly lit.
Ji Wanwan was half leaning on the chair with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she heard a slight open of the office door and immediately opened her eyes to look over.
Seeing the familiar figures of her younger brother and her parents, Ji Wanwan's sharp eyes softened.
Mom was the most sentimental, with uncontrollable heartache in her eyes: "Wanwan, it's so late and you haven't returned to the manor. Your dad and I are worried, so we came to check on you."
Ji Wanwan rubbed her brows, hiding the fatigue in her eyes, and smiled heartlessly: "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how to solve the problems at the base. You know, I'm the lord, so naturally I have to think more. It's really okay, don't worry."
Mother Ji sighed.
A lot of things happened in the base during this period. She saw it all and knew how difficult it was.
Mother Ji felt very distressed when she thought that her daughter had to bear all these things alone.
She rubbed her hands and asked tentatively: "Wanwan, is there anything you need mom's help with? If so, just ask, mom will definitely do her best!"
Ji Wanwan laughed: "Mom, you and Dad taking care of yourselves is the biggest help to me!"
She glanced at Ji Xing and frowned in reproach: "You are really something. It's so cold and so late, why did you bring your parents here?"
Ji Xing had a lot of grievances to express, so he chose to keep quiet.
Mother Ji quickly waved her hands: "We forced him to do it. Don't blame him. Seeing you doing well, your father and I are relieved."
She pushed Ji Xing in front of Ji Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, since you're okay, your dad and I will go back first. Your dad and I haven't walked on the street together for a long time. We will just leave in a while, and Xingxing will stay here to help you."
Ji Wanwan frowned in disapproval: "It's windy and snowy outside..."
Before she could finish, Father Ji, who had been silent the whole time, looked at her and said, "Wanwan, your mother and I are both Awakened. This little snowstorm won't be enough to trap us. Xingxing will stay and help you. Your mother and I will go back now."
Ji Wanwan sighed helplessly, "Then be careful. Let me know on the intercom when you get to the manor."
After mom and dad leave.
Ji Xing had just dropped his usual obedient demeanor and sat down on Ji Wanwan's desk with a cynical look on his face. "You didn't tell your parents about our plan?"
Ji Wanwan curled her lips noncommittally: "The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Ji Xing raised his eyebrows, jumped down from the desk, walked to the sofa and lay down, closing his eyes and resting: "Okay, just don't get too excited."
Not long after Ji Xing lay down, the door of Ji Wanwan's office rang again.
Qi Hao, Zhou Kai, Xu Siming, Ming Jing, Xia Li and others were standing outside the door, blocking it tightly.
Ji Wanwan didn't seem surprised: "Why are you all standing there? Now that you're here, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Ji Xing, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at them and scratched his head in confusion.
Several people entered the house and found a place to sit down, but no one spoke first. Instead, you looked at me and I looked at you, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
The first one who couldn't help himself was Qi Hao: "Wanwan, it's not..."
Before he could finish his words, the door rang again.
This time, the people who came were Wen Yuheng, Wu Xun and Wang Youde.
The three of them entered the house and were all stunned to see that it was already full of people.
Ji Xing, who arrived first, was even more confused, his bright dog eyes filled with clear stupidity.
Everyone had a strange expression, except Ji Wanwan who was curled up in a chair.
She looked calm and understood everything, and her eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces: "Tell me, why did you come to see me so late?"
All?
interesting…
Ji Xing's eyes flashed, and he immediately sat up straighter.
Qi Hao, who had just been interrupted, immediately spoke up after being asked this question: "Wanwan, weren't we supposed to have the manufacturing crew disappear? How did they become mutants? And the time has also been advanced by several days. Now the emotions of the survivors are a little out of control!"
