Du Zhiyuan was calculating so hard that the abacus beads were practically bouncing off Lu Zheng's face.
Now things are really messed up. Originally, only the people who had just gone on the mission knew, but now the entire base knows that Lu Jin'an flew a fighter jet and brought back someone who is suspected to be his girlfriend.
One of the more quick-witted individuals immediately and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"We were wrong, Deputy Base Commander. We won't do it again next time."
Others quickly echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, we were wrong."
Du Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction, looking pleased.
"Well, it's good that you know you're wrong. You're the base chief's people, so I can't say anything. I'm only doing this for the better development of the base. Just don't blame me for meddling."
Du Zhiyuan has always liked to pretend to be a good person.
However, all of them were completely loyal to Lu Zheng, and listening to Du Zhiyuan's pretentious words, they only felt he had the air of a scheming old man.
At a table in the corner of the cafeteria, several girls dressed in green camouflage uniforms had short, neat hair that reached their ears.
Among the group, a long-haired woman in a white coat stood out.
She looks gentle and intellectual, giving people the feeling of a kind older sister.
At this moment, she was very sad and heartbroken, her eyes filled with tears, on the verge of sobbing, yet she seemed to be suppressing her emotions and pretending to be strong.
Lu Yu looked over with concern and called out softly, "Sister Wanling."
Yu Wanling took a deep breath, tilted her head back, and tried to hold back her tears.
"I'm fine."
Even though she spoke very decisively, tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably, and the flow became increasingly heavy.
The others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
They all knew that Dr. Yu had always liked Captain Lu, and they all considered them a couple. Who would have thought that Captain Lu would...
Lu Yu's round, doe-like eyes widened in anger. She grabbed a hat from the stool beside her, making a move to stand up.
"I'm going to find my brother and see what's going on! If he really dares to bring a woman back, I'll be the first to make him pay!"
How could he possibly let Wanling down!
Yu Wanling frantically reached out and grabbed Lu Yu, her voice tinged with pleading.
"Xiaoyu, no, you shouldn't go. It will make him misunderstand."
She wiped her eyes again and whispered:
"It's always been one-sided on my part; I'm not good enough for him."
Yu Wanling's tone was humble, and her eyes, which were already red from crying, looked very pitiful, which made Lu Yu feel heartbroken.
She cursed her clueless older brother in her heart. Sister Wanling is so good, how come he just doesn't get it!
It's infuriating! Just like Lan Mingxuan!
Lu Yu still didn't sit down. She comforted Yu Wanling, saying:
"Don't worry, Sister Wanling, I'll ask him. My brother won't misunderstand you."
As she spoke, she patted Yu Wanling on the shoulder.
"Besides, my brother is coming back, what's wrong with me, as his sister, going back to see him?"
At this point, several other girls joined in, chiming in.
"Yes, Sister Wanling, let Xiaoyu go back for a while."
"Maybe the person Captain Lu brought back has nothing to do with him. We should clear up any misunderstandings as soon as possible."
Yu Wanling nodded and released Lu Yu's arm.
"Then Xiaoyu, you can go back now. But don't mention my matter again."
"knew."
Lu Yu waved her hand dismissively. How could she not mention it? She had to have a serious talk with her older brother.
Sister Wanling has waited for him for so long with all her heart; she can't be a scumbag.
After Lu Yu finished speaking, she picked up the unfinished lunchbox on the table and left.
Wasting food at the base is severely punished, even if she is a member of the Lu family.
She didn't see Yu Wanling behind her, who seemed depressed and had her head down. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and malice, and even the hand that was in the pocket of her white coat was clenched so tightly that the nails were digging into the palm and causing it to bleed.
Lu Jin'an belongs to her, and can only belong to her.
"System, I need information on the woman who came back with Lu Jin'an."
The only response to her thoughts was a completely emotionless, mechanical male voice.
"Querying non-task objectives will deduct 100 points."
Yu Wanling maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but inwardly she was screaming.
"Lu Jin'an, yes! She could very well affect my mission!"
The system remained completely unmoved.
"Non-mission objective".
Yu Wanling felt like she was about to faint from anger.
She obtained this so-called strategy system by accident when she went out on a mission with her team some time ago.
She was captured by zombies and was infected with the zombie virus; she was on the verge of death.
This thing suddenly appeared in her head, telling her that as long as she agreed to the binding, she could survive and gain various benefits by completing tasks, including the superpower she had always wanted.
In order to survive, she agreed without hesitation.
She has more than one person she wants to win over, and Lu Jin'an, whom she has always liked, is one of them.
The remaining people at the table, seeing that Yu Wanling kept her head down and seemed worried about her, cautiously offered words of comfort.
"Sister Wanling, don't listen to their nonsense, this is definitely false."
"That's right. With someone as outstanding as Sister Wanling before him, how could any of those other women catch his eye?"
"Xiaoyu has gone back. I believe she will soon find out the truth. That person may just be part of Captain Lu's mission."
The group kept talking, one after another, making it impossible for Yu Wanling to communicate quietly with the system in her mind. Annoyance flashed in her eyes.
Yu Wanling pretended to wipe away her tears, then raised her head with a forced smile.
"I'm really fine, you don't need to do this."
Seeing her like this, the group sighed inwardly.
Oh, Sister Wanling is really putting on a brave face; look how heartbroken she is.
The sister they sympathized with, Wanling, was inwardly shouting at the system:
"100 points it is! Investigate! I want to see which little bitch is behind this!"
"100 points deducted successfully. You now have 320 points remaining. Please complete the task as soon as possible to increase the favorability of the task target."
The system's series of procedural pronouncements irritated Yu Wanling once again.
"Okay! I want to do the mission too!"
Currently, the system has confirmed two mission targets in the base: one is Lu Jin'an's brother, and the other is the object of Lu Yu's affections.
She knew Lu Jin'an was a difficult person to deal with. If she were to openly get involved with these two, it would be even more impossible for her to get involved with Lu Jin'an.
This also prevented her from acting freely, forcing her to keep the two of them on her toes. She couldn't earn many points, and aside from occasionally exchanging them for food to cook for them secretly, she managed to exchange them for a healing ability.
Unfortunately, Yi couldn't choose; it was random. Otherwise, she would definitely have chosen someone with more combat power.
Just thinking about the pain of awakening superpowers made Yu Wanling feel her soul tremble. It was so damn painful!
Now she just hopes to win over Lu Jin'an as soon as possible, then the other two will be much easier.
With more points, she can exchange them for high-level weapons in the system shop, allowing her to roam freely in the apocalypse even without combat abilities.
