Let's break up.
Shi Caixia looked at Zhong Ziming calmly.
Those of them who study law live very calmly; acting on emotions is not a suitable criterion for them.
Therefore, once the gap in perspectives and understanding between each other widens, breaking up is the best way to cut your losses.
Zhong Ziming's angry expression froze, and he looked at Shi Caixia in surprise.
Did you hear that right? Shi Caixia, who always admired him, treated him with all her heart, and always regarded him as her role model and goal.
She actually wants to break up with him?
Zhong Ziming found it hard to believe.
He had no idea why Shi Caixia was doing this. Realizing what was happening, he stretched out his long arms and pulled Shi Caixia into his embrace.
"I disagree. I was just too anxious and got agitated by the gunfight scene. I didn't mean to yell at you."
“I know that this current stance has confused and shaken our relationship. We haven’t positioned ourselves correctly and haven’t truly separated public and private matters.”
"This is just a small difficulty in our relationship, there won't be any problems. We are both very calm, and we can correct our mistakes right now."
"Here's what we'll do: you resign. I'll arrange a new position for you with Commander Ma, and that way, there won't be any adversarial relationship between us."
Shi Caixia listened calmly to Zhong Ziming's words, pursed her lips, and pulled away from Zhong Ziming's embrace.
"I really enjoy my current job. In fact, I only recently realized how significant my job is."
She thought she couldn't explain to Zhong Ziming that some things had transcended the realm of money, material possessions, and power, filling Shi Caixia's heart completely.
Being with Zhong Ziming no longer allows him to lead her forward; instead, it lowers her standards.
She still chose to break up, but Zhong Ziming refused to agree.
The two argued and remained silent, staring at each other.
When refined people argue, it's always a silent battle.
Zhou Cheng, who had just finished counting the wounded, sat in a tent some distance away and cried out in pain.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! Someone help me!"
A small garrison in the tent hurriedly came over.
Zhou Cheng glared at him, and he shrank back, then ran out of the tent, seemingly refusing to help.
Zhou Cheng continued shouting from inside the tent.
"I'm wounded, I've been shot, I'm dying, and nobody's helping me!"
Shi Caixia couldn't take it anymore, turned around and went into the tent, asking coldly,
How can I help you?
Seriously, she's breaking up with her boyfriend, what's Zhou Cheng yelling about at this time?
Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand, trembling, weak and powerless, as if he were about to meet the King of Hell at any moment.
"Help me, I need to go to the supply depot. I can still fight."
Shi Caixia took a deep breath, but still helped the trembling Zhou Cheng up, and stepped through the thick snow, heading towards the supply depot.
If it were Zhong Ziming, neither she nor he would speak, stubbornly remaining in a stalemate, stubbornly engaging in a cold war.
In the open space at the entrance of the supply warehouse, Hua Mi had finished examining the bodies of the assassins. Turning her head, she saw Zhou Cheng being helped by Shi Caixia, walking over with unsteady steps.
She glanced at the gunshot wound on Zhou Cheng's shoulder.
"These bodies must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very dangerous to leave them outside."
Hua Mi told Zhou Cheng that although she did not find any scratches or bite marks on these corpses.
But you can't be too careful, and nobody can say for sure. If you encounter a corpse, you should deal with it quickly to prevent it from turning into a zombie if left unattended.
Zhou Cheng had no objection to this and ordered his garrison to move the corpses on the ground to a secluded place, waiting for Hua Mi to "cremate" them.
Supported by Shi Caixia, he walked into the supply warehouse with Hua Mi.
The huge supply warehouse had a strange smell inside, like a mixture of excrement and urine.
The garrison has already cleared it out; they've unearthed a pile of bones.
Looking at the pile of bones still covered in clothes and flesh, Shi Caixia turned around and couldn't help but vomit.
Even Zhou Cheng was having some trouble adapting.
"Are these people in here really eating each other?"
That's insane. If they openly surrender and raise a white flag, wouldn't the garrison consider it?
Those who deserve to be executed will be executed, but those whose crimes do not warrant death will not be killed by the garrison even if the other side has already surrendered.
Why must things escalate to the point of cannibalism?
And it's only been a few days.
Hua Mi looked at the pile of white bones on the ground. She was almost 90% sure that the thing that ran out of the supply depot was no longer human.
Where else can you find a human being who can eat people so cleanly? This shows a complete lack of guilt and an indiscriminate consumption of food.
But we'll only find out exactly what it is after we catch it.
Hua Mi turned around, her back to the pile of bones, and said to Zhou Cheng,
"I'll get you a batch of ethanol, as well as resin gloves, protective suits, and sterile boots. You guys clean this supply warehouse thoroughly from top to bottom."
Just to be on the safe side, we shouldn't use any of the cement in this batch of supplies. Fortunately, the cement that Hua Mi put in was produced in unlimited quantities by the level 18 factory.
Hua Mi doesn't feel bad about sending it back to the medium-sized recycling station for disposal.
Just produce another batch of cement.
Things proceeded step by step according to plan. Hua Mi called Gong Yi and asked him to arrange all the garrison duties.
From today onwards, all garrison personnel must wear protective suits. This is no joke; if they encounter that monster, today's protective suits might just save the lives of a large number of garrison personnel.
Gong Yi agreed and, while searching for the monster on the snowfield, made a phone call to instruct several of his garrison captains.
At the same time, he did not forget Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng didn't ask any further questions.
He listened to Gong Yi very well, doing whatever Gong Yi told him to do, even when Gong Yi said that from today onwards, all the garrison troops must wear protective suits.
Zhou Cheng didn't think anything of it.
Fortunately, Hua Mi had Chi Chuan send enough supplies—more than a dozen large trucks—which were parked on the Xiang C Expressway, not far from the C City supply depot.
While all the garrisoned troops were on high alert protecting themselves, Zhong Ziming, who was isolated and helpless, discovered that Ma Zhixuan had disappeared.
He called Ma Yongchun, who had already arrived on the CD Expressway.
After hearing Zhong Ziming's words, Ma Yongchun raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He frowned at Zhong Ziming.
“I did not order Ma Zhixuan to take bodyguards to rob the C City supply depot. It was all Ma Zhixuan’s own idea.”
In the back seat, Ma Yongchun lowered his head, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked again,
"There was no trace of Ma Zhixuan at the scene, nor was there his body?"
After receiving Zhong Ziming's denial, Ma Yongchun sighed wearily.
"I'm afraid they were taken away by those assassins."
I took my little girl out for a haircut, and oh dear, she's gotten so vain now, she's not so easy to please. She won't let me cut this part, she won't let me cut that part, and she has all sorts of excuses.
