Pei Xiqing had just finished the call when the door of the store was pushed open by a man.
He was holding a fat rabbit in his hand. Pei Xiqing's eyes lit up when she saw it. She asked, "Where did you get it from?"
The clerk was astonished. "Fat rabbits like these can only be found in the largest supply store in the base. They're so valuable! No one in the base can afford them. Even the chickens, ducks, fish, and meat in that supply store are beyond the reach of most people."
"Is there another supply store in the base?"
The clerk nodded and said, "Of course not. I own one of the stores on the base, and the other is owned by the military, called the Supply Store. Ordinary people can't go there, so this is the place ordinary people can afford to go."
Duan Xiaolin came over and held the rabbit in his hand. "Do you want to raise one?"
"Raise it." Pei Xiqing held her cheek with her hand and looked at him with a smile: "Raise it, wait for it to have a litter of little rabbits."
"Fatten them up before eating them?"
Pei Xiqing couldn't help laughing: "Let it give birth to a litter first."
"Maybe by the time you give birth, it might not be born yet."
"I'm just a little rabbit, I don't have a mate, it would be difficult to give birth out of thin air."
Seeing this, the clerk smiled and went back to tidy up the shelves.
Duan Xiaolin asked, "Are you done talking?"
Pei Xiqing: "How do you know?"
"It's not hard to guess." Duan Xiaolin's eyes flashed with helplessness.
Pei Xiqing sighed, "Who told you not to tell me? You've been hiding it. I can only ask other people. But besides asking the questions I wanted to ask, I've also gained something else."
"What's the catch?"
"Xia Jingyu, Miss Xia is still alive."
Duan Xiaolin raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Pei Xiqing immediately caught the subtle expression on his face, moved closer, and asked directly, "Brother Duan, do you know something? Miss Xia was dug out from the zombie pile by Brother Qiu Chao. It's been so long, with the base's carpet search capabilities, how could they not find her? Is her disappearance for so long related to you?"
Before the man could speak, Pei Xiqing pinched his face and said, "Don't lie to me. Tell the truth."
The more she thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
At first I thought Xia Jingyu’s disappearance was just a coincidence and an accident.
Now it was Qiu Chao who found her, and he brought her back from the pile of zombies... It is really hard not to suspect that there is someone behind this who is deliberately controlling Xia Jingyu, so that even if she can be found, she can be ignored by the machine.
Duan Xiaolin didn't intend to keep it a secret any longer, so he told her roughly what had happened before.
"You mean... Miss Xia knows about my physical condition?" She widened her eyes slightly.
I thought of many possibilities, but I really didn't expect it to be because of this incident.
For her, who was at the base at the time, if she leaked even a little bit of this information, she would be doomed.
If people in the base knew that she was actually a zombie, then one of the swollen corpses in the laboratory would be hers.
Pei Xiqing shuddered.
No wonder I never saw Xia Jingyu again.
"Of course Qiu Chao bears the primary responsibility for this incident." His face was expressionless. "I've already punished him. As for Xia Jingyu, I must take some measures."
"I can understand..." If the perspectives were reversed, she would do the same as Duan Xiaolin.
After saying that, she stared at him again without blinking.
Duan Xiaolin: "What are you looking at? Going home?"
Pei Xiqing said after a while: "I was just wondering, when did Brother Duan start leaning towards me?"
The Chief Judge of Farranlon, the main villain in the plot, will not let go of anyone around him who is at risk of infection.
His style of doing things is more likely to kill someone by mistake than let him go.
I didn't expect that he would attack Xia Jingyu for covering up the truth about her identity.
"I don't know." The man smiled faintly: "Maybe it was a long time ago."
Pei Xiqing was half-believing and half-doubting.
