In order to prevent Li Xue from being too embarrassed, Xiangdong changed the subject.

"The base received intelligence that a zombie riot occurred in W City, but we didn't find a single zombie along the way. You have been stranded here for such a long time, what happened these days?"

Seeing that Xiangdong no longer asked those questions that made her not know how to answer, Li Xue felt the heat on her face subside a little, and then she turned around and said, "There was indeed a zombie riot. On the day we arrived in W City, when we collected supplies and prepared to return, the base commander's nephew Wang Tianlin went crazy and ran to W City, attracting zombies from all over the city."

"Wang Tianlin is here?" Xiangdong was a little surprised. The base commander was almost going crazy these days because of his good nephew. However, Wang Tianlin's life or death has nothing to do with him: "Then, what about those zombies?"

"We destroyed them all!" Li Xueyun said calmly.

"What? So many zombies were destroyed by you? Are you guys kidding me?" Monkey shouted, looking at Hu Zi in disbelief, and refused to believe him. All the zombies in W City, what kind of concept is that!

Jian Hui scratched her ears: "I didn't tell you, but you insisted on asking. I told you, but you didn't believe it. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people!"

Monkey looked at the other members of the convoy doubtfully.

The other people in the convoy have also woken up, because they are going to set off back to the base today, and everyone is very excited. Hearing Jian Hui's words, they all raised their heads and chests and nodded wildly at Monkey. After this battle, it would be hard for these people not to be famous.

"Is it true?" Monkey felt that his perception of the world was about to change. Hundreds of thousands of zombies faced this convoy of less than 200 people, and they were killed without a single piece of armor left. It was just like listening to a myth.

"Do you have any candy if I lie to you?" Jian Hui looked up at the sky, looking like she couldn't stand it.

"So many zombies, how did you kill them?" Monkey was extremely curious, and he still didn't quite believe the news.

"Hu Zi, you tell him." Seeing that Monkey still didn't want to believe it, Jian Hui didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Monkey turned his head again and looked at Hu Zi eagerly.

Hu Zi had to take over the conversation: "That day Xiaoxue brought us and all the team members..." It took more than ten minutes to tell the general story.

The monkey was stunned, and his mouth was wide open, big enough to fit an egg.

In the carriage, Xiangdong was also shocked after listening to Li Xue's explanation.

"But what about the corpses? How did you deal with so many zombies?" Apart from the corpses from the food factory, he did not find any other corpses.

"Burn them. Otherwise, will they grow maggots? With so many corpses, who knows what harm they will cause to humans after they rot? Burying them would be a huge project, so it's better to just burn them." Li Xue still looked calm. "By the way, each of our teams has been allocated more than 100,000 crystal cores. There are also many crystal cores of supernatural zombies."

Xiangdong didn't know what to say. The zombie riot that made the whole base turn into a zombie was actually solved by such a fleet.

"By the way, will it be troublesome if we accept those crystal cores?" Li Xue asked this question. Although according to the usual practice, the crystal cores they received when they were on a mission belonged to them, but this time the quantity was too large, and she couldn't help but worry that the senior leaders in the base would be jealous.

"Don't worry, the base won't be embarrassed to ask you to hand it over." Xiangdong's face darkened.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Xue heard something.

"During the zombie riot in W City, the base did not take any rescue action. It is obvious that they have given up on you. How dare they ask you for these crystal cores?" Xiangdong said calmly.

Li Xue raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised by the base's actions. After all, the number of zombies was huge, and the base's actions were also to preserve its strength. I am afraid that they were abandoned by the base as soon as the news reached the base. Everyone thought that they were doomed to die, and there was no need to take such a big risk to save people.

Xiangdong was a little surprised to see that Li Xue didn't look surprised or dissatisfied: "You don't seem surprised?"

"What's so surprising about this? It's expected. There's nothing wrong with the base doing this. It's not worth sacrificing other people for a few people whose lives and deaths are unknown. If it were me, I would make the same decision." Li Xue said sarcastically.

Xiangdong didn't know what to say after hearing this. Indeed, although the base's approach was unfair to Li Xue and the others, it was the fairest to others. There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world! There will always be some people who will sacrifice for the so-called fairness.

"By the way, since the base has given up on us, why did you come?" Li Xue just thought of this.

"I came here by myself. I was worried about you, so I came. It's great to see that you are safe and sound." Xiangdong answered evasively.

"No, the base has given up on us. How could the military let you take this risk? The old general didn't agree to you at all, right? You ran out like this, which is considered a violation of military orders!" Li Xue was anxious. Violating military orders is a serious matter.

She wanted to find out what was going on, but Xiangdong didn't answer her directly. No, she had to find Monkey to find out. She stood up and walked towards the car door.

Xiangdong grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. Li Xue struggled gently. He stroked her hair gently: "Seeing you worry about me, I'm really happy."

Li Xue pushed him away, her eyes wide open: "What time is it? You still have the mind to joke? You know better than anyone what the consequences of disobeying military orders are."

Xiangdong pulled her over again, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "I'm not joking, really. If something unexpected happens to you, what's the point of giving me more power and a higher position? Li Xue, I don't I want to lose you again."

Li Xue felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her. She lowered her head and said softly, "Xiangdong, I am not worthy of you doing this, I..."

Xiangdong interrupted her, "No, you are worthy. Xiaoxue, don't deny yourself anymore, and don't reject me anymore. I don't ask you to accept me right away, but please give me a chance."

Li Xue looked into Xiangdong's eyes, which contained burning tenderness and sincerity, and she couldn't say the words of rejection.

"Xiaoxue, believe me, I will try my best to make you fall in love with me. We will definitely be happy. Promise me, okay?" Xiangdong said to Li Xue cautiously, fearing that she would reject him again. He felt that he had so many things to say to Li Xue and confess his love to her, but in the end, all he could say was this.
