The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

The room features a simple and original style of decoration, with the walls and ceiling retaining their original cement color.

She circled around the corner of the room, craning her neck to observe the space above, and then, using a coffee table as a stepping stone, leaped onto a wardrobe on one side.

There was a square metal window. She peeked inside, then deftly jumped down.

"I've got a solution. These underground fortifications usually have excellent ventilation systems with ventilation ducts on top, so we should be able to get out."

"Do you have anything to wrap the body in? Wrap the body up first. Tonight, after these people are asleep, I will check the ventilation ducts."

Ye Xiao nodded; this was the only option for now.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sudden knocking at the door startled the people inside.

Ye Xiao frowned. "Who?"

Sister Lin's voice came from outside, "Brother Ye Xiao, dinner is ready."

"it is good!"

Ye Xiao turned to look at Lan Ling, "Have you eaten?"

Lan Ling nodded. "We've eaten. Let's hide the body first."

Ye Xiao helped Lan Ling drag the corpse on the ground into the wardrobe. He knew that Lan Ling was stopping him and then killing the "master of slacking off" by her own hand, which was actually a way of protecting him.

After all, it's not good that he has people directly involved in murder.

Feeling a pang of gratitude towards Lan Ling, he whispered to her as she approached, "Thank you."

Lan Ling smiled but didn't reply. Instead, she found a blind spot near the door and sat down, indicating that Ye Xiao and the others could leave.

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai took several deep breaths before they could completely calm down their lingering emotions.

The three of them opened the door and went out.

The bowls and chopsticks were already set out in the living room, because open flames couldn't be used inside, so they could only be cooked in an electric cooker.

I heard that Chen Ge and his group borrowed this electric cooker from other adventurers.

The people in the living room all stared at the three who came out, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.

Chen Ge silently sized up the three of them, then tentatively asked, "Did the three of you have a fight?"

Ok?

Ye Xiao was taken aback, but immediately realized that they must have heard the shouts of the "master of slacking off" from the room.

A-Zhao awkwardly tried to calm things down, gesturing towards the empty sofa to the side, "Brother Xiao, calm down. We're all brothers, don't ruin our relationship."

Zhou Qirui reacted quickly, immediately raising his hand to scratch his head and taking over the conversation.

"Hey, it's nothing. I was being silly and had a few words with Brother Xiao. I was just being stupid. I've already talked it out with Brother Xiao and it's all over now."

Ye Xiao immediately chimed in, "Heh, it was just a small disagreement. We talked it out and it's all over now!"

Ye Xiao patted Zhou Qirui on the back with a smile, and everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone sat down on the sofa.

Ye Xiao picked up his bowl and chatted with Chen Ge and the others while eating.

Chen Ge said, "It's been raining heavily these past few days, so we can't go out. It's not safe outside either, so we guess we'll have to stay underground."

Ye Xiao nodded, "Then we should eat the food sparingly, since we don't know how long the rain will last."

"By the way, have you assigned the rooms yet?"

Chen Ge and the others nodded. "It's all arranged. Lin Meizi and the child will have to make room in the small room. Lao Han and Da Hei will sleep on the sofa in the living room, and A Zhao and I will sleep in another room."

Ye Xiao hummed in agreement, showing no interest in their actual assignments, and simply said, "By the way, don't come into our room unless it's absolutely necessary."

Chen Ge and the others nodded in agreement.

After finishing his meal, seeing that it was getting late, Chen Ge said:

"Everyone should rest. The lights and electricity will be turned off at 8 p.m., so you might as well go to sleep early."

Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to rest. Ye Xiao carried a backpack that was in the living room into his room.

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai followed closely inside and closed the door.

Ye Xiao took out a rainproof cloth from his backpack and had Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai move the body out of the wardrobe.

At this point, Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai seemed to have become desensitized to the corpse, no longer experiencing their initial fear and resistance.

After all, the mental fortitude of the two had been forced to improve significantly after these past few days.

The two dragged the body out and placed it on a tarpaulin. Lan Ling then wrapped the body in the tarpaulin and tied it tightly with paracord.

Ye Xiao sat on the bed, watching Lan Ling's skillful movements, and couldn't help but tease her.

"Your technique is quite professional!"

Lan Ling glanced at Ye Xiao and smiled coldly, "For those of us in this line of work, packing up corpses and cleaning up traces are basic skills."

Lan Ling's words made Liang Kai tremble. It seemed that the memory of her snapping someone's neck without hesitation had not yet been erased from Liang Kai's mind.

Even though Lan Ling is a beautiful woman, Liang Kai and Zhou Qirui showed no enthusiasm whatsoever, and even stood a little distance away.

Watching Lan Ling put the packaged body back into the wardrobe, Ye Xiao asked a question.

"Are all these trolls with unfamiliar IDs appearing in my live stream your people?"

Lan Ling clapped her hands, turned around and sat down on the carpet to the side with a smile, nodding.

"Yeah, but I didn't expect to only get one spot. Your system really knows how to pick people."

Ye Xiao glanced at the other person's calves, thighs, and waist, which were all strapped with various weapons, and there was also a chest pouch on his chest. He couldn't help but twitch his eye.

"Are you here to be our bodyguard?"

Lan Ling rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, "You're dreaming, but I can take advantage of the situation too!"

Ye Xiao knew that Lan Ling was joking with him, meaning that protecting them was one of the tasks, but Lan Ling definitely had other tasks in mind.

"Hey, now that you have an extra mouth to feed, you might not have enough food, right? Why don't you go work at the base?"

Lan Ling winked at Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao immediately understood the implication in Lan Ling's words.

"Oh? What kind of job would you recommend?"

"Isn't Liang Kai knowledgeable about machinery? Why don't you and Liang Kai go and ask him, and then ask if there are any other jobs available."

Although Lan Ling didn't say it explicitly, Ye Xiao and the other two understood the implication in her words.

It seems that the higher-ups are quite interested in the seed kernels here.

Ye Xiao continued Lan Ling's words, saying, "Okay, then I'll go ask at the nuclear gun factory, and I can also inquire whether the power generation room needs any people."

Ye Xiao's reply earned him an approving glance from Lan Ling on the other side.

They greatly admired Ye Xiao for understanding this so quickly.

Zhou Qirui, being a shrewd salesman, naturally knew what Ye Xiao and Lan Ling were talking about.

He immediately replied, "The work in the power generation room is probably not easy to handle. The staff are usually fixed and won't be easily added or changed."

"Work in the factory is definitely restricted to a fixed area. If you want to move around more, the only option is to be a guard."

He looked at Ye Xiao and said, "When I went to Zone 2 today, I observed that all the guards inside were asymptomatic. They definitely don't allow mutants to enter."

"Brother Xiao, you're physically strong, you could try applying for a guard job. I think those guys today are all quite old, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to apply."
