It was obvious that Jiang Xue had been tricked by these people who came to make the deal. Seeing that Jiang Xue had come alone, they had ulterior motives and planned to buy zombie virus inhibitors for free.
However, they clearly underestimated Jiang Xue's fighting ability.
A bunch of fools who didn't know their own mortality actually set a trap to ambush her. Jiang Xue dodged the sneak attack from the people guarding the bottom of the pit with a quick movement, and smashed a heavy punch into one of them on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Jiang Xue continued to kick the other two men in the chest, rendering them unable to fight and knocking them unconscious.
"Hey beautiful! What you're doing is so inhumane! You know, we've all risked our lives to survive against zombies, and all we're doing is stealing some medicine from you? You're going way too far!"
One of them, his face streaked with tears, begged Jiang Xue for mercy in a disgruntled tone, looking utterly irritating. Jiang Xue snorted coldly, turned her head to the side, and ignored the man.
"I...I...we really only need a little bit of zombie virus inhibitor. I can pay you for as much food as you want!"
Seeing that Jiang Xue completely ignored him, the man was extremely anxious and afraid of angering her. All he could do now was continue to plead.
Jiang Xue frowned, turned to look at the man, and asked, "What's your name?"
The man was overjoyed upon hearing this; he hadn't expected Jiang Xue to be willing to talk to him. He quickly replied, "My name is Zhang Qiang! My name is Zhang Qiang!"
"Zhang Qiang?" Jiang Xue murmured the man's name, seemingly searching for some information.
"Who sent you?" Jiang Xue stared at Zhang Qiang and asked coldly.
Seeing that Jiang Xue was not easily fooled, Zhang Qiang spilled all their secrets, revealing everything about them.
"It's...it's our boss. He...he saw you were alone and a woman...I mean, he saw you were a girl...he wanted us to kill you, and then commit murder and robbery."
Jiang Xue sneered, "So, you deliberately set up this clumsy trap to frame me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang trembled with fear. He knew he had met his match, and that this matter was unlikely to end well.
"Beautiful lady... beautiful lady! We... we really didn't mean to hurt you, we were forced into it! Please, please let us go! If we don't do it, our boss won't let us off..."
Zhang Qiang cried and complained, but Jiang Xue was too lazy to waste words with him. She kicked Zhang Qiang away and turned to look at the other three people around her, her eyes growing colder.
"For the sake of being fellow human beings, I'll spare your lives this time! But if I encounter you again, I will definitely not let you off so easily!"
After saying this, Jiang Xue lost interest in continuing the transaction, turned around and left, heading back the way she came.
When she returned to the base, she was still somewhat shaken.
She never imagined that she would be betrayed by the very person she had once protected.
What's even more unexpected is that human life is so cheap in the apocalypse. Driven by greed, they even dared to buy zombie virus inhibitors from survivor bases for free.
Upon returning to the base, she went straight to the base director's office and told him about her harvest and what she had encountered on the way.
Seeing that Jiang Xue was alright, the base commander obviously had no intention of pursuing the matter. They were just vagrants and thugs; if it weren't for the survivor base occasionally clearing out the zombies in the vicinity, it's questionable whether they would have survived to this day.
"By the way, what was Dr. Chen's attitude like?"
The base commander still remembered Yu Ling, this rare talent.
But Jiang Xue's man was still in the other party's hands. At the same time, she also felt that Yu Ling and the others were doing well in the laboratory, so that they wouldn't cause any trouble because they were not used to being at the base.
"Dr. Chen still prefers to do her research on her own. She is currently taking a break. She said that if the base is in trouble, she will definitely come to help without hesitation, but she will not stay at the base."
Jiang Xue replied in this way.
"As long as you stay close to the base, it doesn't matter where you live. Jiang Xue, the task of winning over Dr. Chen is entrusted to you!"
The base commander patted Jiang Xue on the shoulder as if entrusting her with an important task, and said,
"Alright, your mission is complete. You've worked hard these past few days. Once things settle down at the base, I'll arrange a long vacation for you so you can get some rest."
"For the future of humanity, a little hardship is nothing. Thank you in advance, Base Commander!"
Jiang Xue's echo was powerful and resonant.
"Alright, you can leave now!"
The base commander waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Jiang Xue then left the office and returned to her residence at the base to wash up and rest.
She hadn't had such a peaceful time in a long time. Lying in bed, she soon drifted off to sleep.
Jiang Xue woke up early the next morning.
She quickly washed up and left with a bottle of nutrient solution produced by Yuling.
The reason she carried this was because most of her pockets were filled with medicine and weapons, leaving very little room for food.
Although nutrient solution can't be eaten as food, Jiang Xue felt it was acceptable for the sake of fighting zombies. After all, in the apocalypse, as long as you can eat your fill and not starve to death, nothing else matters.
She took the item to the base's market, intending to buy some necessities and drinking water to bring to Yu Ling and Chu Shuo.
She was very fast and arrived at the market in just a few minutes. However, when she stepped into the market, she was surrounded by some people passing by.
