Before leading the team up the mountain, Lu Yu suspected that the two-headed mutated giraffe that was killed on the mountain might have been killed by Su Li and Xuan Qing, who had left the base.
So as the convoy drove up the mountain, he kept a close eye on every corner around him.
The mutated weeds growing on the mountain road showed signs of being crushed and burned, and the tire tracks on the mutated plants were still very fresh. Considering the time when Su Li left the base, Lu Yu was basically certain that the person who made a commotion on the mountain was Su Li!
Thanks to video recordings from the automated flight monitor, the team quickly located the carcass of the two-headed mutated giraffe.
Just as he had expected, the crystal cores in the two heads of the mutated giraffe had been dug out!
"It seems there aren't many people attacking the mutated giraffe... maybe only one or two!"
The captain of the third security team was named Chen Guoquan. He was a formal criminal police officer before the apocalypse. He quickly drew a conclusion after only glancing at the messy situation around the two-headed mutated giraffe carcass.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Lu Yu standing to the side: "This person is very powerful. It would be great if he could join the base. If not, he might become a dangerous presence."
Lu Yu listened without speaking. His gaze was fixed on the ground in front of him. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Probably not."
Chen Guoquan was taken aback, then turned to look at Lu Yu. His years of experience as a police officer allowed him to quickly discern the clue in Lu Yu's words: "Do you know who it is?"
Lu Yu was silent for a while, but did not give a 100% answer: "More or less. If it were the one I know, she would definitely not pose any threat to the base, but she would not want to join the base's team either."
"Ah! Captain, you can't be saying..." After hearing Lu Yu's words, Chen Guoquan was still thinking, but Cheng Jie, who was standing to the side, reacted. He looked at Lu Yu and asked, but suddenly shut his mouth the moment he met Lu Yu's gaze.
Chen Guoquan had no idea what kind of cryptic conversation the two were having. He looked at Lu Yu and asked, "So what's your plan next?"
Lu Yu paused for a moment, then straightened up and looked around: "Wait for me at the village entrance. I'll take some men in to check first. If it's my friend, we can call it a day and go back. But if we encounter any danger, I'll give a signal!"
After listening, Chen Guoquan thought about it briefly and then nodded in agreement.
This was not in accordance with the rules; even if it was someone Lu Yu knew, it should be recorded and reported.
However, in this day and age, one should always do others a favor, and besides, he trusted Lu Yu's character.
Lu Yu is the kind of person who, even if someone is his friend now, will not hesitate to personally deal with them if they do anything bad in the future!
Soon after, Chen Guoquan led his team toward the village entrance, while Lu Yu's group headed toward the village itself.
Just as the group turned around, Xuan Qing, who was squatting in the courtyard watching Su Li dig a hole little by little on the ground, suddenly perked up his ears.
The black cat's clear, icy blue eyes gazed out of the courtyard. Its long black tail twitched, and then it suddenly stood up, hurriedly saying to Su Li, "I'm going out for a stroll," before jumping off the stool and leaving the villa's grounds.
Su Li was unaware that the base had sent two teams up the mountain.
Although Xuanqing sensed it as soon as those people came up the mountain, he did not mention it to Su Li.
At this moment, the foundation of Su Li's wall was almost finished. She only looked up at the black cat's disappearing figure before looking away.
Before she knew it, Xuanqing's abilities no longer required her concern.
Now, seeing the increasing number of crystal cores in her space every day, Su Li even has a faint feeling that Xuan Qing is nurturing her.
Unbeknownst to Su Li, Xuan Qing and Lu Yu's group had already met!
Lu Yu looked down at the black cat crouching upright a short distance in front of him, a knowing look in his eyes, but...
He felt that this cat seemed a little different from before!
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that the cat's aura seemed to have become stronger!
The person and the cat walked some distance away from the group and talked about something.
But Lu Yu didn't seem very happy when he left.
On the way back to the city, Cheng Jie looked at his captain's somewhat gloomy face and remained silent for a long time, but still didn't dare to ask.
Lu Yu's wandering thoughts only slowly returned after the car drove into the base gate.
He still couldn't quite accept that he had been frightened by a cat, although, to be precise, it was a cat demon.
Xuan Qing's words, filled with pressure and extreme possessiveness, still echoed in his mind:
"She loves it here, so tell your base not to mess with her... including you!"
Lu Yu suddenly chuckled helplessly. The cat was indeed perceptive, easily seeing the emotions hidden in his subconscious.
He did have feelings for Su Li, but that was all.
But even this goodwill was enough to make the cat demon feel extremely threatened and hostile towards him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu sighed silently, feeling a pang of regret that his unrequited love had already died before he even finished his apprenticeship.
The other party was a legendary spirit, and he didn't have the confidence to gamble with the bright future he had worked so hard to achieve!
So he could only quietly withdraw.
After stopping Lu Yu halfway, Xuan Qing did not go back immediately. Instead, he wandered around the village again, clearing out the zombies and mutated animals that had run into the village that day, and retrieved the crystal core before heading back.
When they returned, Su Li had finally finished digging the foundation; the next step was to start building the walls.
However, Zuli plans to start the bricklaying work tomorrow.
It was already 1 p.m. Although it was still early, digging holes these past few days had been quite tiring, and she hadn't even had lunch yet!
Su Li plans to treat herself well this afternoon, rest for half a day, and fight again tomorrow.
However, she was too lazy to cook anything if she was eating alone, so after thinking about it, she finally decided to have hot pot!
It's delicious, convenient, and easy to eat, but the wait is a bit long because today she's eating the old-fashioned Northeastern sauerkraut hot pot!
The copper pot is lined with prepared seafood ingredients, then layered with sauerkraut, pork bones, sauerkraut, frozen seafood, and then a mixture of boiled pork belly, blood sausage, and frozen tofu. A large plate of beef rolls, lamb rolls, oysters, scallops, and other side dishes is also prepared on the side.
Because she was too lazy to stew it again, Su Li used boiled water instead of hot pot broth. Since it was just for her, she figured the taste wouldn't be much different after stewing the pork bones and seafood in it!
So the hot pot simmered outside the pavilion for about an hour. Su Li took advantage of this time to take a good shower and change her clothes. When she came out, she saw Xuan Qing already squatting impatiently in front of the steaming copper hot pot.
Hearing the noise, he turned his head and looked at her with bright eyes!
