"This..." Sister Li hesitated, because in her opinion, the things Nan Muran took out were too precious.
"Try it, it tastes pretty good." Nan Muran knew what the other party was curious about, but she did not explain at all that she had space.
Sister Li and Xiao He, a vulnerable mother and daughter, were chosen to be the secret agents of the West City Security Base, so they are certainly not fools.
After understanding Nan Muran's avoidance, she silently took the coffee from Nan Muran's hand.
Sister Li couldn't help laughing after taking a sip. Before the apocalypse, she didn't like bitterness, and always felt that life was too hard. After the apocalypse, the bitterness was full of sweetness. It was the first time that she felt coffee was so delicious.
Sister Li, who had relaxed, sighed and slowly recounted her own experience. Her tone was gentle and calm, and her emotions were stable, but her eyes were full of unwillingness and tenacity: "Speaking of which, Xiaohe and I have lived in this place for almost half a year..."
Through Sister Li’s narration, Nan Muran and Si Ye also had a general understanding of the situation of the mother and daughter.
Before the end of the world, Xiaohe's father was a battalion commander of the WJ Corps, and happened to be in Lin Weicheng's team.
Two years before the end of the world, he died heroically while trying to save his comrades in the process of capturing terrorists. Therefore, they, mother and daughter, are the survivors.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, because they were cautious and not afraid of the trouble of running back and forth, they stockpiled a lot of necessities. In addition, they lived in the family compound of the WJ detachment, so everyone was united and someone stepped forward to coordinate. Therefore, even after experiencing the apocalypse, they lived well.
The real problems started three months after the end of the world.
The weather was good that day, but the zombies everywhere made everyone panic. Just when everyone began to doubt whether the government had rescue forces, a group of supernatural people came to the WJ family compound where they lived.
Those supernatural beings said they were here to rescue everyone and take them to the safe base in Xishi. Because they were all military dependents, they were given preferential treatment. Before they set off, they gave everyone bread and yogurt.
In this situation, no one would refuse their rescue, so everyone who survived in the entire family compound quickly got on the bus.
It’s a pity that the happier everyone was at the beginning, the more disappointing the situation became later.
The special ability team that rescued the entire family compound was not from the official security base, but from the special ability team in the underground city. The reason why these people were brought here with great effort was to use these family members to threaten their relatives in the WJ team.
In order to avoid any unexpected situations, these people followed the principle of "better more rather than less" and brought all the survivors in the family compound into the underground city, including the martyrs' relatives like them, whose relatives had already died.
After entering the underground city, those whose families were still in the detachment were arranged to stay in the inner city. Although the living conditions were relatively better, they also lost their freedom.
Those who had no one to rely on and no value to use were left in the ghost markets around the inner city. To put it bluntly, they were the slums of the underground city.
Hearing this, Si Ye's mood dropped significantly. He had always thought that Lin Weicheng's entire team had betrayed the authorities. At that time, he wanted to kill all of them, but it turned out that they were all threatened by the underground city.
Lin Wei only cared about his own interests and dragged everyone into this. He really deserves to die.
"When we came..." Nan Muran suddenly spoke, but did not finish her words.
In her opinion, it is possible that Chen Jianguo, Chang Li and others were unaware of Sister Li's situation, so why did they mention the artillery fire covering the entire underground city?
Si Ye knew what Nan Muran was thinking and advised her with a smile: "Don't worry, they won't."
Although both sides spoke in an obscure way, they understood each other. Nan Muran understood Si Ye's meaning. Whether it was Chen Jianguo or Chang Li, they would never ignore Sister Li and the others.
It seems that they have other plans for the operation in the dungeon.
"Have you ever tried to escape from here?" Si Ye looked at Sister Li with a calm tone and sincere eyes, without any discomfort.
“When we were first assigned here, we knew we could get out from the end of the cave, so we wanted to run.
Unfortunately, after going out several times, they found that they could not get out of the dense forest. A few days later, the base injected a toxin into everyone.
Now, everyone in this town has to rely on antidotes every month to survive. Naturally, they can no longer leave." Speaking of this, Sister Li burst into tears, feeling sorry for Xiaohe and even more sad for everyone here.
Nan Muran looked at her, sighed slightly, and felt a little heavy.
Si Ye was also feeling suffocated by the pressure in his heart, and the air pressure in the whole room was several times lower because of him. Even though he was no longer a soldier, he couldn't stand seeing the family members of his comrades being treated like this, and he felt like he was going crazy.
“I know my physical condition and I don’t have much time left.
But even if I died, I couldn't let Xiaohe live in this place, being controlled by others for the rest of her life. So, when the people from the security base came, I took the initiative to agree to help them.
It's a pity that my body is not strong enough, so Xiaohe has to do a lot of things. Don't look at her young age, she is very smart and has never made any mistakes. "Sister Li looked at Nan Muran with helplessness in her tone, and then she was proud of her daughter.
Nan Muran said with certainty: "She is indeed very smart. Does she only work in the bun shop every day now?"
After knowing what she wanted to know, Nan Muran changed the subject to avoid upsetting Sister Li.
"Well, after she finishes working at the bun shop, she will go to the inner city of the dungeon to find some odd jobs. But since you are here today, she probably won't go." Sister Li wiped away her tears and smiled gently.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the wooden door was opened.
Xiao He walked in breathlessly and looked at Si Ye and Nan Muran: "Aunt Nan, Uncle Si, something happened."
"Don't be in a hurry, tell me slowly, what happened?" Nan Muran looked at Xiaohe with a gentle tone.
"I just went to the inner city and heard that a team of supernatural beings who entered the underground city last night was captured. They were three men, and the underground city guards said that their supernatural powers were very strong.
The supernatural team in the dungeon is now conducting a comprehensive search to see if there are any other supernatural people entering the dungeon." Xiao He looked at Nan Muran and the others, and was also very nervous.
Sister Li stood up: "Then tonight, we..."
"We can't go. The news has been sent back. Let Aunt Nan, Uncle Si and others stay here and wait for news." Xiao He said hurriedly.
"If the underground city is searched thoroughly, we will definitely be discovered if we hide here." Nan Muran looked towards the river.
Xiao He was silent at first, and finally looked at his mother: "Mom, why don't we let uncle and aunt hide in our secret room first."
