After lunch, because the snow that fell last night was more than a meter high, the residents of the base spontaneously started clearing it early this morning.
Now that it was afternoon, only some remote areas remained to be cleared. Xia Yixin naturally teamed up with Lu Yan. As soon as she went out, she deliberately avoided the people who were busy clearing the snow and dragged him to a place that had been almost completely cleared.
Seeing that no one was around, she angrily shoved him and glared at him accusingly for not sitting properly.
Lu Yan's eyes were full of smiles as he reminded her again, "Madam, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. We've already explored so many planes, haven't we?"
"Hey!" Xia Yixin hurriedly called out to him, and looked around nervously.
It snowed all night, and everyone was busy clearing the snow, so no one noticed that there was no one else on this path. Lu Yan looked at the blushing little woman and always found her particularly amusing. In every world, except when she had amnesia, she was always this shy and bashful when this topic came up, and the more she acted this way, the more he wanted to tease her.
So the black panther's tail wrapped around her wrist.
She shook him off.
He pestered him again.
She snorted, but didn't shake off his tail.
Just as the two were enjoying their time together, a noisy commotion suddenly came from a group of children not far away.
There were seven or eight boys and girls of similar age, around ten years old, all wearing thick winter clothes.
It was obvious that a little boy was being attacked by others. His face was red as he shouted, "I did nothing wrong! I did nothing wrong! He just doesn't deserve Sister Yixin, he just doesn't deserve her!"
His words drew the ire of the other children, who surrounded him and started chattering amongst themselves.
“How can Commander Lu not be a good match? He has metal-type abilities, and my father only reached the fourth level with his help.”
"That's right, he's so capable, and he's good to Sister Yixin too, you're not allowed to say anything bad about him!"
The boy being besieged defiantly shoved aside the closest person, put his hands on his hips, and said, "But my mom said he might look like a black panther for the rest of his life. How can a person marry a panther? Besides, he can't even sit at the dinner table! He..."
The little boy wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Xia Yixin walking out of the alley with a sullen face, and he choked up.
The other children sensed something was wrong and, seeing that it was the person they were talking about, immediately scattered in fright, including the little boy who was being attacked.
Even though everyone had run away, Xia Yixin couldn't suppress the anger in her chest. Although they were just a group of children, sometimes children's words were more hurtful because they often reflected the thoughts of adults.
She was angry and sad, and even more worried that Lu Yan might feel uncomfortable.
She was turning around to say something when suddenly Hongfeng's hurried voice came from behind them.
"Captain Xia, something's happened! There's been an accident!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The first heavy snowfall of that winter was a test for K Base.
Especially in District 3, there are still thousands of third-class citizens who survive in a filthy and chaotic environment by resorting to robbery and other means.
Last night, heavy snow fell and the temperature dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius, freezing many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the third district to death. In the middle of the night, a gunshot was heard, followed by the smell of blood.
This was already commonplace for the people at Base K.
K Base has indeed improved somewhat in the past two weeks thanks to the supplies brought by Guo Wei and his team, but this only applies to the first-class citizen area. Fortunately, heating is still available this winter, so apart from the third area, the first and second areas are relatively peaceful.
Guo Miaomiao's condition is very bad.
For some reason, the heating in her apartment suddenly stopped, and she knew it was probably done on purpose by that bitch Guo Ruier.
Even before the apocalypse, she knew that Guo Ruier was no pushover. When Guo Ruier was only eleven years old, she had kissed her ex-boyfriend, and Guo Ruier had taken the opportunity to teach her a lesson. Now she was getting revenge on her.
She searched through all the quilts in the villa and even dismantled the wooden chairs in the house to light the fireplace before things felt a little better. As she curled up on the sofa, Guo Miaomiao looked at the heavy snow outside and felt that the whole villa was like a tomb.
She knew what Guo Ruier was thinking because she was just like her. The reason Bai Jingkong wasn't killing her was because, in the eyes of outsiders, she, the "Holy Maiden," still had some value. But now that the "Healing Water" was gone, she would be dead when the seven major bases came to demand it back!
No, she has to leave.
But she has no special abilities now, and with heavy snow outside, she can't get out of the area. Guo Miaomiao looked at the guards on duty outside the house. Was this the only way for her to take this last step? But Bai Jingkong probably already guessed that she might try to seduce him. Every day, he strictly stipulated that the guards were not allowed to talk to her except when the three meals were delivered.
Is she just supposed to wait here to die?
No, she was not willing to accept it!
It was completely dark outside, and the only light in the villa came from the fireplace. The temperature was barely around zero degrees Celsius. The guards hurriedly left their dinner and left. It was much warmer at their guard post outside. Guo Miaomiao didn't even have time to say what she had prepared in her charming manner.
She could only bury her head in her dinner and prepare to think of another solution.
Just then, a series of urgent knocks came from the window.
At first, Guo Miaomiao thought she was hallucinating, but the sound of knocking on the glass outside became more and more urgent. She got up from the sofa and saw a person through the French windows.
It was Xia Ru!
Xia Ru was truly starving. A few months ago, Xia Yixin threw her into District 3. Fortunately, it was chaotic at the time, and she was not killed by the mob in District 3. Later, she thought she could return to District 1, but who knew that Bai Jingkong would throw her back to District 3. If it weren't for her own superpowers, she wouldn't have survived until now.
What she couldn't understand even more was that her own daughter, whom she had raised with her own hands, was no longer caring about her. When she learned that her scumbag ex-husband, Guo Wei, had also come to the base and completely replaced her previous position, she was furious and determined to come back and confront Guo Miaomiao.
So she used the few gold and silver jewelry she had left to bribe a base squad, and then, under the cover of darkness and heavy snow, she climbed in from the lowest point of the second district's wall.
The outside temperature was already tens of degrees below zero. She was wearing a down jacket that had been taken from a dead body. Her hands and feet were frozen blue. When she entered the house and saw the canned food in front of Guo Miaomiao, she pounced on it and began to wolf it down. She didn't sit down and pant heavily until she had finished eating everything.
Guo Miaomiao stared in shock at Xia Ru, whose hair was disheveled and covered in filth, whose down jacket was so dirty that its original color was unrecognizable, who was so thin that she was barely recognizable, and who reeked of a foul stench. She was sitting on the ground, panting heavily.
Guo Miaomiao knew that Xia Ru had been exiled to District 3. She didn't expect that Xia Ru was still alive, and how she suddenly ended up in District 1.
Before Guo Miaomiao could finish asking, "Mom, what's wrong?" she was slapped across the face.
Snap!
Guo Miaomiao covered her swollen left cheek and looked at Xia Ru in disbelief.
