"This morning, Su Zhiquan went to the Population Security Department and reported your disappearance in his and Su Ling's names."
"He also reported that you knew us and Captain Lu. Now the Population Security Department has retrieved your information when you entered the city and has questioned Captain Lu and us."
"Captain Lu admitted that he knew you, but only said that you did not stay in the city. Su Zhiquan did not believe it and even made a scene at the Public Security Department, saying that since we have Captain Lu and you are on good terms, we should take care of him until we find you!"
The voice on the walkie-talkie was muffled, lacking its usual sunny and cheerful quality.
Su Li listened silently to Qi Zhi's words until he finished speaking before asking her question:
Was Su Ling there when Su Zhiquan went?
Qi Zhi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, the static of someone speaking came through the walkie-talkie again:
"She was there, but she didn't say much. Even though she didn't say anything, just holding her stomach was enough to make the staff feel sorry for her. There was nothing they could do; pregnant women were so precious at the base these days!"
Upon hearing this, Su Li couldn't help but sneer.
This father and daughter have a good plan. Su Zhiquan is still dreaming of the kind of government-mandated care for his children to support him in his old age, like in the pre-apocalyptic world.
But she's not an official now, so the authorities can't control her!
"Qi Zhi, tell me where they are living now."
Su Li suddenly pressed the call button and spoke to the other end.
Su Li decided to bring forward the ending of these two people and eliminate these two hidden dangers as soon as possible so that she could live more peacefully in this world.
I won't offend others unless they offend me. There's nothing I can do; they just keep walking into my life whenever we meet after the apocalypse.
Qi Zhi quickly replied and immediately guessed Su Li's intention.
However, Su Li didn't say much, only telling him to communicate with Lu Yu and the others and pretend not to know anything outside.
Su Li said all of this directly to Qi Zhi over the walkie-talkie. She wasn't worried that anyone else might be using a walkie-talkie or that the radio might be playing the same frequency and overhearing their "conspiracy."
Since the day Xuanqing took human form, every time Su Li and Shan Xia talked, the frequency band they used for their conversation would be interfered with by Xuanqing's spell.
According to Xuanqing, he could have used magic to help Suli communicate with the people down the mountain over a long distance, but Suli refused.
Transmitting a message over a long distance always requires more magical power than interfering with frequency bands, and Su Li felt that it was really unnecessary since it was just a phone call.
Although the amount of magic power spent was nothing to Xuan Qing, he could replenish it by eating a single grape.
The temperature has remained around -60 degrees Celsius during the day and -75 degrees Celsius at night for the past two days.
As evening approached, it wasn't completely dark yet, but there was almost no sound of human activity to be heard in the base.
The walls, about to disappear into the darkness, were covered with a visible layer of white frost. The black buildings stood silently within the encirclement of the base's walls, like trapped beasts shivering in the snow, gradually falling asleep as the night deepened.
It's unclear how much time has passed, but in an old-fashioned residential building in a corner of the base, in a three-story apartment with a living room and one bedroom.
The doors and windows of the house were all tightly closed. Thick curtains made of woven grass were hung behind the entrance door and windows. There was even a layer of transparent thick plastic film between the windows and the curtains.
Su Li lowered the straw curtain and opened the bedroom door.
In the bedroom, a bed was placed right next to the radiator. The bed was fully furnished with a mattress and bedding, but the sleeping woman had almost pressed her body against the radiator.
The blanket wrapped the body tightly, and a silver disposable life blanket and a bright red blanket could be vaguely seen peeking out from one corner of the blanket.
Upon seeing the life blanket and the blanket, Su Li, hidden in the darkness, raised her eyebrows slightly.
She had previously learned about the base's general measures to cope with extreme cold from Huang Keke.
In addition to providing full heating and distributing cotton-padded clothes and quilts, the base also gave each family and each person a life blanket.
Although the life blankets are disposable, the base emphasized that they should be reused as much as possible, because the next distribution will not be available for at least half a month.
Pregnant women like Su Ling also have an extra blanket.
This is already very humane!
Xuan Qing had already opened the bedroom door. Without disturbing Su Ling, Su Li walked into the living room.
As soon as I came out, I saw Su Zhiquan in the living room, wrapped up tightly in a blanket and a disposable life-saving blanket.
Compared to Su Ling, Su Zhiquan's sleeping belongings were missing a blanket, making him noticeably colder and causing him to sleep restlessly.
At that moment, the bedroom door opened, and the air between the two rooms began to flow, bringing a slight chill.
But even this extra bit of coldness was enough to make him wake up, unable to bear it.
He looked up toward the bedroom door, wondering if it was closed properly.
In just one glance, he saw two dark figures standing silently by the bedroom door in the darkness, seemingly watching him coldly!
The two figures were clearly looking in his direction, especially one of them who was significantly taller, whose eyes emitted a ghostly green light, like a wild beast hunting for food at night!
In an instant, Su Zhiquan felt as if his scalp was about to explode!
He almost shuddered, and the image of the stiff, ugly zombies he had faced before immediately flashed into his mind!
Just imagining it, he could already feel the stench filling his mouth and nose!
His whole body stiffened, and he opened his mouth to shout, but before the sound could come out, his throat suddenly tightened, as if something was choking him, and he couldn't make a sound at all!
The next instant, the lights in the pitch-black room suddenly came on. Su Zhiquan felt his vision blur, and when he saw the person in front of him again, he froze on the spot!
"Uh... Su... uh...!?"
He tried his best, but still couldn't bring himself to say the name he hated so much.
Zurich! It's Zurich!
Su Zhiquan almost completely ignored the tall, slender male demon with gloomy eyes standing next to Su Li.
His eyes were only for the daughter he had wanted to strangle countless times in his dreams!
He practically jumped out of bed, threw off the covers, and was about to rush towards Su Li.
As soon as he stood up, his whole body suddenly froze, and he was immobilized!
Meanwhile, Su Ling, who hadn't been sleeping soundly due to the cold, finally sensed the movement in the room. Her vigilance, honed during the apocalypse, made her open her eyes immediately upon realizing the unusual noises in the room.
The figure that came into view made her instantly feel guilty and her hair stood on end!
