Gan Wei bit her lower lip and remained silent.
Bai Feiming continued, "Your cousin said you're a spoiled girl by your family elders, and you do whatever you want. I didn't expect that even after so long since the apocalypse, your self-centered personality hasn't changed much."
"Alright, since Brother Wu has entrusted you with such an important position, I won't say anything more. Just take your team and take good care of the base. Is that alright?"
Gan Wei nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, my team and I will definitely protect the base."
Bai Feiming glanced at Gan Wei and smiled slightly.
He then suddenly appeared in front of Gan Wei, grabbed her neck with his right hand, and lifted her up on the spot.
This scene left Nangong Wenyao, who was standing next to her, completely dumbfounded.
She wanted to speak up for her friend and roommate, but Wang Xi immediately stopped her with a look.
Gan Wei gripped Bai Feiming's right wrist tightly with both hands, trying to break free, but found that she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
No matter how hard he tried, Bai Feiming's right hand remained motionless, as if it were an iron clamp.
Gan Wei was in despair; she didn't understand why Bai Feiming was treating her this way.
As time passed, Gan Wei felt Bai Feiming's fair and delicate right hand completely gripping her throat.
Every breath felt like struggling in a swamp, heavy and difficult, increasingly suffocating.
Gan Wei struggled in agony until she felt she was about to be swallowed by death.
The hand finally let go.
Gan Wei collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, gasping for breath.
Her fair, jade-like oval face was now flushed red with a hint of purple from holding her breath.
Bai Feiming said coldly, "Gan Wei, do you really think the base needs you to protect it? Do you think you're so great? The most important requirement the base has for you leaders is your loyalty!"
"If it weren't for Brother Wu saving you, do you know what would have happened to you now? Death might have been the best outcome!"
"Brother Wu not only saved you, but also gave you such an important position! And now, when it comes to dealing with people who violated the base's rules, you don't even dare to take them all down?!"
Then, Bai Feiming squatted down and said calmly, "Gan Wei, do you understand what I mean? If you still don't understand, I will suggest to Brother Wu that you be given a job where you can just coast along and do nothing."
After saying this, Bai Feiming left the office with Wang Xi.
The office was now empty except for Nangong Wenyao and Gan Wei, who was panting heavily.
Only then did Nangong Wenyao dare to walk over to her roommate and friend, gently patting Gan Wei's back and softly asking, "Sister Wei, are you alright?"
Gan Wei slowly stood up and, with Nangong Wenyao's help, sat down on the sofa next to her. Her once bright and intelligent eyes were now filled with confusion.
After a long while, she smiled bitterly and said, "Wen Yao, am I really useless?"
Nangong Wenyao pursed her lips and said softly, "Sister Wei, I think Miss Bai makes a lot of sense..."
Gan Wei sighed and said, "I know, but dealing with those bad guys is one thing, but what if the persecuted people want to move to another base? Are we supposed to arrest and kill them too? Our base is good, I'm sure of that, but not everyone thinks like us. Some people will always think about siding with bigger powers..."
Nangong Wenyao had been listening attentively, but then suddenly interrupted, saying, "Then just kill those people."
Gan Wei was stunned, staring blankly at Nangong Wenyao.
Nangong Wenyao said softly, "In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. Moreover, every survivor who joins the base has been told that once they join, they cannot leave, or they will die. They all agreed to this. Now that a large base with tens of thousands of people has appeared, they think of going there to join? They deserve to die."
Gan Wei lowered her head, her short, ear-length hair falling down and obscuring her eyes. She fell silent.
Nangong Wenyao continued, "Sister Wei, don't you think the leader is someone worth following? Perhaps our base doesn't have many people right now, but it's safe enough, there aren't so many problems here, and we women receive enough respect..."
The two stayed in Bai Feiming's office for a long time.
When Gan Wei found Bai Feiming again, she said with a firm look in her eyes, "Miss Bai, I understand your intentions, and I will not let you down."
Bai Feiming smiled slightly and said calmly, "Talk is cheap. Take your team and be on good alert."
"yes!"
After Gan Wei left, Bai Feiming looked at Nangong Wenyao and smiled, "Wenyao, don't let Wu Ge's usual carefree attitude fool you. When it comes to relationships, he's very passive and timid. When he comes back, I'll create opportunities for you. Just take the initiative."
Nangong Wenyao blushed and whispered, "Sister Feiming, are you really not jealous?"
Bai Feiming smiled and said, "I was rescued from a pile of zombies by Brother Wu, and I also enjoyed his most sincere love. Why would I be jealous? I just hope that he will stop suppressing his desires."
After a pause, Bai Feiming looked at Nangong Wenyao meaningfully and said, "Also, once you truly become Brother Wu's woman, you will understand that Brother Wu cannot belong to one person alone."
Nangong Wenyao listened with a sense of understanding but not quite.
Just then, Jiang Yanyan ran over with a notebook in her hand, smiling broadly, and said, "Mom Bai, I can do a system of two linear equations now!"
Bai Feiming picked up Jiang Yanyan and said with a smile, "As expected of my daughter, let's find a place and I'll test you."
“Okay! Mom, I definitely won’t let you down.”
......
Construction of the base is still ongoing.
but.
Wherever there are people, there is scheming.
As night falls, people become restless.
A secluded corner.
“You are all my trusted confidants, which is why I called you here. According to reliable sources, there is a large gathering of tens of thousands of people on the north bank of Donghu Lake, more than 200 kilometers away from here.”
"Holy crap, is this for real? Tens of thousands of people? Can so many people really gather in the apocalypse?"
"With government officials and soldiers around, what's a few tens of thousands of people? I reckon there will be even more in the future."
"Should we just go and join them? This damn base is infuriating! We don't even have the right to find women here!"
"However, when I joined the base, there was a rule that once you joined, you could not leave, and if you were caught, you would be shot."
"Now that the main force has gone out to find steel bars and cement, if they want to run away when they go to build the wall tomorrow, they will definitely find a chance to escape. After all, it's such a big place with so many people, and those female security guards can't manage it all."
"But there are more than 200 kilometers in between. What if we encounter zombies along the way?"
"So we need to get a few cars. We need to plan this carefully and hopefully get a few more people involved so we can work together."
"Okay! I know a few people who are also dissatisfied with the base."
"I know two people too! It's disgusting that the base doesn't allow men in the logistics department to see women!"
