If you just stubbornly survive, even if you manage to get through the game, you won't get any credits in the end.
So even though Lu Xiaoyao's words made everyone's hearts skip a beat, they still had to go out on patrol.
"A team of five people."
Because they were worried about getting into trouble if they were alone, and also worried that there wouldn't be enough people if something happened, they ended up splitting into two groups: one group went out and headed forward, and the other group went out and headed backward.
When the two teams finally met and confirmed that nothing had happened, they all returned to the security room together.
After the groups were divided up, Lu Xiaoyao, Julian, Bai Xiao, Yuan Fang, and Zhen Po formed one group, while Lu Gui, Mu Chen, Wang Wenfei, Madison, and Zhen Hu formed another group.
It wasn't until they had walked for a while that Wang Wenfei couldn't help but frown and mutter to herself, "Is their group really okay?"
"What's the problem?" Lu Gui turned to look at Wang Wenfei, wondering what she was talking about.
"They seem to be quite impulsive. If something happens, I'm afraid there won't be anyone to control the situation."
Now that Lu Xiaoyao isn't here, Wang Wenfei doesn't have to worry about her talking about things being broadcast live, so she said, "Leaving aside Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po, Bai Xiao's temper has been much worse today. After all, the initial setup of this story already made her very unhappy."
It's important to know that the reform of the Empire's marriage law was initially driven by the Bai family, because of the tragic marriage of Bai Xiao's great-aunt, who was also Bai Xiao's grandfather's sister.
The groom was on par with the Bai family in both looks and family background; everyone who saw them at the wedding couldn't help but say they were a perfect match.
However, their marriage lasted less than ten years before ending tragically, and Bai Xiao's great-aunt paid the price with the death of both her and her unborn child.
The man only offered a token sum of money in compensation, and even went so far as to issue a perfunctory apology letter regarding his infidelity, considering the matter closed.
Can money really buy life?
Among these people, Zhen Hu's family were just ordinary commoners. If they really encountered something like this, they would usually only lose money.
However, with advanced medical technology in the interstellar era, the possibility of someone dying prematurely is very small.
They either contracted an incurable genetic disease, or they encountered the Zerg. As for the others—like this case of losing both mother and child—it's unimaginable what the other person must have gone through to cause such a tragedy.
"Of course not. The Bai family's idea at the time was to pay with their lives, but the law at the time defined the harm caused to the other party by marital infidelity as very serious. Therefore, within the 50-year statute of limitations, the Bai family finally pushed for the reform of the Empire's marriage law, which brought the protection of the innocent party in the marriage from marriage to divorce to the extreme, and even created a law that the Federation found unbelievable at the time."
After Wang Wenfei finished speaking, Madison's eyes widened in surprise, "Holy crap! That law is real?"
Madison learned about this law when he was in junior high school. It seems that the couple next door had a big lawsuit because the wife cheated on him and wanted the husband to leave with nothing. It even made the headlines on their planet.
After all, the man is a popular singer on their planet and receives a lot of attention.
However, even if the man wins the lawsuit in the end, this scandalous news about their family has already become a topic of conversation for everyone in their stardom, which has had a significant impact on the star's image and future career.
When a reporter interviewed him at the time, he was so angry that he spoke recklessly, saying that his ex-wife was born in the Federation, otherwise in the Empire, he would definitely have ripped out one of the reporter's deceitful eyes.
His speech at the time touched on the radical marriage law promoted by the Empire, which sparked a considerable discussion within the Federation.
Julian then recalled that such a thing had indeed happened.
The Imperial Marriage Law contains a provision stating that if the wrongful party's actions during the marriage cause serious trauma to the innocent party, whether psychological or physical, the innocent party has the right to sue the wrongful party for equivalent harm.
The specific definition of "equivalent harm" is also proposed by the party who is not at fault.
"Yes, the ex-husband of that Bai family aunt was sued by the Bai family again after more than 40 years, and the Bai family demanded that he have his genitals removed and that he not be allowed to have them restored through medical means for ten years. His current wife was also sentenced to prison for assault as an accomplice."
"hiss--"
The men present suddenly felt a chill on their testicles.
Even if medical technology has advanced to the point of "precision chicken delivery," it's still terrifying! (Biquge)
"Therefore, both men and women in the Bai family are taught from a young age to be loyal and considerate to their spouses in marriage. If there is no love, they believe in parting amicably, making proper compensation and negotiating, and not doing anything to betray their spouse during the marriage."
After Wang Wenfei finished speaking, everyone had a better understanding of Bai Xiao's reaction today.
"Well, let's hurry up and patrol. The sooner we finish patrolling, the sooner we'll run into Lu Xiaoyao and the others. Even if they're being irrational, we still have them, so we're pretty confident, right?"
Because this topic had a significant impact on the boys present, and everyone felt a chill run through them as the night wind blew gently, Madison spoke first, urging everyone to continue their patrol.
However, to their utter horror, they patrolled the villa but never encountered Lu Xiaoyao and the others!
...
"Don't turn on the flashlight unnecessarily; use it sparingly."
Just as Lu Xiaoyao was shining her flashlight into the dark flower bushes for the nth time, Julian finally couldn't help but speak up, "We agreed to take turns using the flashlight, and it's not your turn yet."
