Xu Lin had just finished cooking lunch when Zhou Pin returned.
"How is it?" Xu Lin asked.
"It's all taken care of," Zhou Pin said while washing his hands.
"Is it the head of that private base?"
"right."
"Is there any further action?" Xu Lin handed Zhou Pin a glass of water.
“These people are just his vanguard. He’s expanding his territory now, and he’s raised a lot of young men. He’ll continue to send people to plunder later,” Zhou Pin said, drinking the water Xu Lin handed him.
“We can’t just sit here and wait to die, why don’t we find someone to cooperate with?” Xu Lin said.
"That's what I think too. Let's discuss who should take the lead."
Minister Sun clearly no longer wants to manage the base's affairs. If he were asked to contact the base now, the base would likely keep him on the grounds of a manpower shortage.
"Find Xie Yao!" Xu Lin suddenly had a bright idea.
“I remember there was a leader at the base whose surname was Yao,” Zhou Pin said.
"It should be as you think. I'll go see her this afternoon," Xu Lin said.
"Let's eat first, it's getting cold," said Grandma Wu, seeing that the two had finished their discussion.
After lunch, Zhou Pin continued to take precautions in the yard, while Xu Lin went out to find Xie Yao with her bag on her back.
Xie Yao had previously given Xu Lin her home address, saying that she could contact her if she had any difficulties. Since she said that, it proved that her family was quite well-off.
Xie Yao didn't live in the villa area, but in a large compound in the base's administrative area. Xu Lin could tell at a glance that this place was unusual, with high walls, strict guards at the gate, and the people patrolling the gate were obviously soldiers.
Xu Lin was stopped before she could get close. She took a square box out of her bag and handed it to the guard at the door.
“Hello, I’m looking for Xie Yao. This is what she gave me,” Xu Lin said.
"Hold on."
The person who stopped Xu Lin walked to the door of the duty room, picked up the phone, made a few words, hung up, and turned back to Xu Lin, saying, "Wait a moment, Miss Xie will be out in a moment."
Xu Lin waited outside the compound. It was still very cold. Luckily, Zhou Pin had told her to wear more clothes before she left.
During this time, two cars drove in from different directions and entered the gate. There were no cars to be seen at the base at the moment, so the sudden appearance of two cars made Xu Lin very curious.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xie Yao came out and was very excited to see Xu Lin.
"Sister Xu Lin, what brings you here? Come on, let's have some tea at my house!" Xie Yao pulled Xu Lin into the courtyard.
Xie Yao's family lived in a three-story building. It looked very ordinary. The two cars that Xu Lin had seen at the gate were parked in front of the house. It turned out that they were coming to Xie Yao's house.
"My dad has guests, let's go to my room to talk." Xie Yao pulled Xu Lin to her room on the second floor.
"I wouldn't come here without a reason, I have important business to discuss with you today." Xu Lin said bluntly as they entered Xie Yao's room.
"Sister Xu Lin, please speak." Xie Yao immediately sat up straight.
"Someone robbed the villa area today..." Xu Lin recounted the robbery that happened that morning, especially mentioning that the female homeowner was dragged away, which made Xie Yao indignant.
“Even though it’s the apocalypse now, has the base lost all discipline? This is outrageous! You wait here, I’m going to find my dad. This matter must be dealt with seriously.” Xie Yao turned and left the room for the third floor.
Xu Lin sat in Xie Yao's room. Although the room was simply decorated, it revealed the family's affection for Xie Yao in every way, such as the piano and easel placed in the corner.
Xu Lin was looking at the unfinished painting in the corner when Xie Yao returned and said he would take her to the third floor.
Arriving on the third floor, this should be the office area.
