Chapter 368 The Snowstorm Has Passed, Returning to the Base
All members of the Lingxu Gang were scheduled to leave between 10 and 12 in the morning, except Xia Xiaoman, who was scheduled to leave at 3 in the afternoon. After a little thought, I knew that this arrangement was wrong.
"Let's go find the staff and ask them clearly. If it doesn't work, I'll exchange number plates with you." After saying that, Li Yu'e took Xia Xiaoman to find the staff.
"We all came here together, and our room numbers were consecutive, so why do we have to separate when we leave? Even if we happened to form a group here, she would normally be in the next group, so why was she scheduled to leave in the afternoon?"
In response to Li Yu'e's question, the staff patiently explained: "The order of departure is based on the column numbers of your residences. There is absolutely no targeting. If you don't believe it, you can compare the number plates with other people. They all leave in the order of column numbers."
"Why are we assigned seats in consecutive numbers when we come in, but have to leave in order of columns when we leave?" Xia Xiaoman asked puzzledly.
The staff member said: "This is to prevent people from stealing supplies from other people's homes in groups."
When we suddenly arrive in an unfamiliar environment, we are allowed to stay together, which can reduce some unnecessary troubles. But if we stay together when leaving, we are worried that someone will take advantage of the small number of security guards in the station to steal other people's property and endanger other people's lives.
This arrangement was quite reasonable. Li Yu'e wondered if she was being overly suspicious. After thinking about it, she was still a little worried and asked, "Can I exchange my number plate with her?"
The staff shook his head and said, "No, these number plates have already been registered. When you leave, you need to hand in your number plate and ID card for verification. You can only leave after verification."
This is to prevent someone from deliberately mixing up the number plates and hiding in the dungeon during the chaos. So every number plate is registered, and they only need to check the system to know who has not left the dungeon.
Seeing that it was hopeless to change the number plate, Li Yu'e changed her mind and said, "Brother, if the number plate cannot be changed, can we change the time? Can you change me and my sister to leave in the same group?"
"No, that won't work. I've already said that these number plates are registered. If you can just change the time and name at will, then why register them?"
The staff member sighed impatiently, "I say, can't you just leave according to the order of your number plates? It's not a day's difference, it's just a noon difference. You go back to the base first, and your sister will be back in a few hours. Why are you making so much trouble!"
After hearing this, Li Yu'e wanted to continue to fight for it shamelessly, but Xia Xiaoman stopped her, pulled her back and said, "Sister Yu'e, forget it, they won't agree to change the time."
Li Yu'e frowned, "Xiao Man, Lu Qingshan said before that as long as the man surnamed Yang doesn't give up on returning to the capital, he will find a way to snatch the eggs away. It's too dangerous for you to stay here alone."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's okay. I will take Maodan back safely, don't worry."
If the number plate incident was really caused by Yang Weihan, it would be useless even if she changed the number plate or changed the time to leave the underground city. Yang Weihan would definitely have another trick up his sleeve. In that case, she might as well stop bothering and wait patiently for Yang Weihan to reveal his true colors.
Li Yu'e and the others left one after another. Lu Qingshan, who was packing his luggage, saw Xia Xiaoman still leisurely playing with her hairy eggs and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
"I was scheduled to leave at 3 p.m."
"Afternoon? Are you alone?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Yeah, it's just me, I don't know anyone else."
Lu Qingshan frowned when he heard this, but didn't say anything. After packing his luggage, he left for a while, and when he came back again, he had an extra number plate in his hand.
"Look, is this the time to leave?"
Xia Xiaoman glanced at the time on the number plate and said in surprise: "Why did you change your departure time?"
Lu Qingshan smiled pretentiously and said, "I have a clever plan. Come and help me pack my luggage, or I will leave before three o'clock."
Xia Xiaoman did not delve into how he changed the time of the number plate. Although they had only been together for half a month, she could feel that Lu Qingshan had no ill will towards her.
After packing their luggage and waiting for more than half an hour, the staff came to take them out of the room.
When she reached the entrance of the underground city, a gust of cold air hit her in the face. Xia Xiaoman pulled her coat closer and squinted her eyes to look outside. The huge rocks blocking the outside were covered with frost, and the ground was covered with thick snow.
The staff arranged each survivor to sit on a snowmobile according to the number plate order. When it was Xia Xiaoman's turn, the staff said with embarrassment: "Miss Xia, you may need to put your pet on another snowmobile, otherwise it will be difficult to take it away."
Xia Xiaoman refused, "No, I can just hold it."
The staff frowned and said, "That won't do. Your pet is a living wolf. It needs to be caged. Otherwise, it might bite the driver while driving, and the driver's life might be in danger."
Xia Xiaoman said unhappily: "My Maodan understands human nature. He won't bite anyone without my order."
"That won't work either. Wolves are very wild and we must protect the driver's safety." The staff insisted on putting Maodan in a cage.
Xia Xiaoman's face darkened. Maodan was her family member. Want to put Maodan in a cage? Don't even think about it!
"In that case, I won't take the snowmobile. I'll go back on foot by myself." As she said that, she took Maodan and pulled the luggage and walked out.
The staff panicked when they saw this and blocked Xia Xiaoman's way. "You, you can't leave. Each group of people sent back to the base is numbered, and someone will receive and arrange for them. If you leave, the higher-ups will investigate. Will the responsibility be on you or on us?"
"That's your problem. It has nothing to do with me." Xia Xiaoman walked around the staff and tried to leave.
The staff had obviously been told not to let Xia Xiaoman leave alone, and they kept stopping her from leaving. The two of them were in a stalemate, neither of them willing to give in.
At this moment, the others who were waiting to leave became impatient and said, "Are you going to leave or not? It's freezing. If you don't want to leave, just say so. Let's go back to the dungeon and warm up first!"
"That's right, it's just a wolf. If all else fails, just tie the wolf to the back of the car and drag it away. You must be crazy to waste so much time on a beast!"
Xia Xiaoman heard the words and looked at the speaker fiercely. The other party was frightened by Xia Xiaoman's eyes and shut up.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan walked over and said, "Would you like to listen to me?"
Neither the staff nor Xia Xiaoman spoke, so Lv Qingshan spoke up, "Actually, you don't have to put the wolf in a cage. If you're really worried about it biting people, you can put a helmet on it. If you put the helmet on, the wolf won't be able to bite people even if it wants to."
