In her desperation, Fu Haixin disregarded everything else: "I didn't say you wouldn't be given freedom, but freedom isn't absolute, it's relative. You're unwilling to make even the smallest contribution, you don't care about our base at all. Yes, you did participate in labor, but if it weren't for Brother Li and the others, you would have been dead long ago. What right do you have to participate in labor?"

“I’m trying to talk to you nicely, but you won’t listen. So don’t blame me for being rude. The base follows the same rules. If you don’t follow the base’s rules, you’ll be going outside after daybreak. Don’t blame me for not warning you, the daytime temperature outside can reach 60 degrees Celsius. A person can only survive for 15 minutes at most outside. That’s equivalent to being roasted at medium temperature. You’ll only die.”

Li Zhenzhen sneered: "I'll leave then. I'd rather die than be enslaved."

She is very clear-headed. At first, she said she was free, but now she needs to sell her body. I'm afraid that in a few more days, she will become like a pig or a dog.

Rather than being domesticated like a frog being slowly boiled in water, it's better to just die.

Immediately, many people waved their hands and shouted in agreement.

Seeing such a commotion, Fu Haixin felt a little flustered.

At this moment, Sister Mei spoke up. Compared to Li Zhenzhen's strength, she was undoubtedly much gentler:

“We’re from the same base, we’ve been through thick and thin together, there’s no need to make things so tense. We’ve been working hard these past few days, and while we can’t say how much we’ve done, we’ve still made a contribution. If the base can’t accommodate us, why not part ways amicably? We don’t want anything, and we’ll leave the base immediately tomorrow night.”

Having found a way to back down, Fu Haixin could only awkwardly step down: "What you said makes sense. I'll help you report this to your superiors later. It's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you, but in a base, someone always needs to do certain tasks. Otherwise, if you're unwilling to do this and he's unwilling to do that, wouldn't the base be in chaos?"

Mei Jie and Li Zhenzhen both sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

Can you put "selling yourself" and "working" together?

At first glance, Fu Haixin seemed to have a straightforward personality, but now she's acting more like a madam than a madam herself.

Fu Haixin walked away with a gloomy face, growing angrier the more she thought about it. But as time passed, her anger gradually turned into fear.

She failed to handle the tasks assigned to her by her superiors, and she will likely be held accountable later.

At that time, her position will be insecure, and she will become someone that everyone can bully.

How can I maintain my position?

Fu Haixin narrowed her eyes, quickly made a move, and immediately turned to go to the women's area.

Upon reaching the women's section, she coughed into the megaphone to attract everyone's attention and then announced, "We need a group of young and quick-witted girls to help with some work. Now, those whose names are called, come over here."

She read out the names of six girls.

As Mei Jie and Li Zhenzhen listened to Fu Haixin recite the name, their expressions grew increasingly grim.

These girls are all beautiful.

Fu Haixin's calling these six girls was definitely not for good.

Li Zhenzhen stood up abruptly: "Fu Haixin, what kind of job requires a beauty pageant?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Fu Haixin snapped before explaining herself amidst everyone's skeptical gazes.

“We unearthed some vegetables from the cold storage last night, and the leaders said we needed to celebrate, so the meal was quite lavish. Since we had such good food, we naturally had to ask someone with a presentable appearance to help with plating and serving. Even ordinary restaurants would choose good-looking waiters when entertaining important guests, right? What's wrong with what I did?”

Those who support Fu Haixin chimed in, saying, "That's right, that's always been the case. What's Li Zhenzhen complaining about?"

"Li Zhenzhen is such a troublemaker, she's everywhere, it's so annoying!"

Fu Haixin's words were indeed reasonable, and since everyone was free at the moment, neither Mei Jie nor Li Zhenzhen could think of a way to refuse.

Upon seeing this, Fu Haixin sneered inwardly, but her face became even more gentle and amiable: "Since everyone has no objections, please come with us. Everyone will have a meal of vegetable porridge today, as a celebration."

Zhao Jinxin could only be described as pretty, while Zhao Jinyue had a beautiful face.

So this time, Zhao Jinyue was selected.

Zhao Jinxin was reluctant to let her go; she felt that Zhao Jinyue's journey would be very dangerous, so she held Zhao Jinyue's hand and said, "Jinyue, don't go—"

"I don't want to go either..." Zhao Jinyue was also very scared, but she couldn't refuse, so she stood up with a pale face.

Seeing that six beautiful young girls were about to be taken away, Sister Mei looked at Fu Haixin with sharp eyes: "Haixin, heaven is watching what people do. I hope that what you do is something you can live with your conscience."

"Of course." Fu Haixin nodded with a smile and left with Zhao Jinyue and the others.

After walking a distance, she muttered a curse under her breath.

Heaven is watching what people do. Things have come to this point, who still believes in this?

All she knew was that if she pleased Brother Li and the others, she would gain a great deal of autonomy, making her arguably the most powerful woman in the entire base.

If the outside world truly becomes like the chaotic times in history, and Li Ge and his people win the struggle for the Central Plains and the conquest of the world, she will definitely be granted a marquisate when rewards are distributed.

She wouldn't have any conscience if it meant getting a title and becoming a founding hero.

Zhao Jinxin couldn't sleep anymore. She anxiously waited for her best friend Zhao Jinyue to return, but she waited and waited, and Zhao Jinyue didn't come back.

Just as she couldn't resist going to look for it, she and Sister Mei heard a scream.

Then came the man's angry and murderous voice: "You bitch, how dare you?"

Then came the sounds of punches and kicks, and a woman's muffled groans.

"It's Jin Yue's voice, it's her voice..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinxin disregarded everything else and immediately rushed over.

Mei-jie couldn't stop them and immediately followed.

As the two were about to reach the central area marked off by the subway station, they saw two men carrying a woman whose limbs were hanging limply at her sides.

The woman's chest rose and fell only slightly, her beautiful face was deathly pale, her large eyes stared listlessly at the sky, and blood kept trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jinxin was terrified and rushed over, crying out, "Jinyue, Jinyue—"

Mei Jie's expression also changed drastically. When she saw Zhao Jinxin go over, she hurried over as well, and at the same time reached out to touch Zhao Jinyue's nose.

Only a tiny trace of life remained.

Given the current medical environment, it's basically hopeless to save him.

At this moment, the so-called Brother Li came out from inside. There was a little blood flowing from his chest. Fu Haixin and several women treated his wound like a baby. He did not feel any discomfort or discomfort. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

Brother Li spoke quickly: "I risked my life to fight for you all so you could live, yet some of you harbored malicious intentions and attempted to assassinate me. Unforgivable! From this day forward, I will no longer tolerate you. Men, take these two bastards and those who disobey to the upper level."

At his command, two tall, burly men stepped forward menacingly and grabbed Zhao Jinxin, who was crying, and Mei Jie, who was frowning.
