Just as Li Xin'er had expected, Lu Chen and Lu Jin'an, who had left earlier, were walking down the street and discussing Qin Siye's affairs.
"The person inside is from the base's transportation department. Could he be the one who handled that batch of supplies before...?"
Lu Jin'an had also guessed this, and he tentatively said it out loud.
Lu Chen said calmly, "It's not clear yet. Based on the patrol and the security guards' reports that night, I think the probability is low."
Li Xin'er's space can fit three RVs, and it's highly likely she can also store supplies. Regardless of whether it was true last time, this person in the transport team is probably connected.
Lu Jin'an thought Lu Chen's words made sense and responded accordingly.
“You’re right. And I heard Commander Qi mention that the protective suit that person was wearing was limited in number. Only the first people recruited had it, and the later recruits all switched to a blue one.”
What he meant was that Li Xin'er had been at the base for some time, and that person was not a newcomer either.
Previously, they had specifically investigated and found that apart from her agent, she had not had any close contact with anyone else at the base, and there was almost no contact at all.
After such a long period of inactivity, the fact that they gathered together for a meal after completing the transaction is enough to make people wonder.
Lu Chen nodded, clearly having considered these issues and agreeing with what he said.
Just then, the two arrived at the office building entrance. Lu Chen stopped and gestured to Lu Jin'an, who was following behind at a distance, to move closer.
Upon seeing this, Lu Jin'an quickly moved closer, waiting for Lu Chen's next instructions and arrangements.
Lu Chen lowered his voice, controlling it to be neither too loud nor too soft, and said:
"Go check the Ministry of Transport's detailed information about that person, and remember that he found out."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Lu Jin'an responded, he turned and left, while Lu Chen went straight into the office building. He still needed to confirm with Qi Hongshen and the others about the supplies and the announcement to the base tomorrow.
When Lu Jin'an went to find the transport team, he arrived right after Qin Siye and the other two.
After learning that it was the three of them, Lu Jin'an did not show up. He only secretly learned their purpose and told the transportation department manager to do as Qin Siye and the others suggested.
Therefore, Qin Siye's 'resignation' went quite smoothly.
In Lu Jin'an's view, Li Xin'er was so eager to bring Qin Siye under her command on the surface in order to avoid their investigation and protect Qin Siye.
This further confirmed their previous suspicions...
Lu Jin'an learned a lot about Qin Siye from the transportation department. He knew that Qin Siye used to be a race car driver and that he had a close companion who had gone on a mission and had not returned.
With the new information in hand, Lu Jin'an went back to report to Lu Chen.
Upon hearing that Qin Siye and his colleagues had just resigned, accompanied by two people from Zhanyi Group, Lu Chen, sitting at his desk, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"It seems she still doesn't trust us."
Sitting opposite Lu Jin'an, her hands were clenched into fists and placed on her knees. She sat as upright as if she were standing.
"I've already informed them over there, and they'll let me know when Qian Leduo comes back."
Lu Chen nodded, "If this person doesn't leave with Qin Siye, then start with him and learn more about Qin Siye. If..."
He paused thoughtfully at this point before continuing:
"If he also goes to Li Xin'er's place with Qin Siye, we'll have to be careful."
Lu Jin'an pursed her lips slightly, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
"I'll keep an eye on the situation over there."
If two people in a row are Li Xin'er's people, then are there more people in the base who are her moles?
They haven't figured out Li Xin'er's background yet. She's powerful and mysterious. If she were just a simple businesswoman, they could accept it.
But what if that's not the case?
Did she have ulterior motives for going to such lengths to hide her secret agents and maneuver around the base?
While the two of them were working overtime and brainstorming late into the night, making things more and more complicated, Li Xin'er and the others were relaxed and seemingly detached from the situation, already snuggled into their warm beds.
The base and safe zone were unusually active on the second day.
In the morning, the base posted notices in several prominent locations.
Li Xin'er even took a look, and there was quite a lot of content, each one more shocking than the last to an ordinary person.
First, the existence of people with superpowers was announced, but it was only stated that they have special abilities, without specifying the types of superpowers.
They also called on survivors with special abilities to join the base's official team, promising them excellent conditions.
Second, the zombies are about to upgrade and become more powerful than before, as described in the description of level 1 zombies.
Third, a level 1 zombie will have a level 1 crystal core inside its head.
Fourth, a sudden and severe blizzard is expected in the next few days. Everyone should prepare for the cold, and the base will also make corresponding preparations. These are words of reassurance.
Fifth, the base will gradually phase out the points system and replace the currency with crystal cores to encourage everyone to clear zombies and find crystal cores.
Sixth, the base will first open the mission hall within the safe zone. All survivors, whether ordinary people or those with superpowers, can go to the hall to accept missions within their capabilities. There are many types of missions, including solo and team missions, which can be selected according to one's own situation.
"My God, these zombies can get stronger! How are humans supposed to survive?!"
When Sister Xia returned after reading the announcement, she was pacing anxiously, her face full of worry and concern.
As for the older Mr. Sun, needless to say, although he didn't express it, the way he sat silently with his head down showed his current worries.
