The two people had obvious whip wounds on their bodies, their clothes were dyed red with blood, and their clothes were in tatters from the whips.
When the man was dragged over, the two of them slowly raised their heads to look at the man, which also allowed Lu Xinyi to see their appearance.
It's Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo!
Both of them looked pale and weak. Su Mo's long hair was messy and fell down, covering her pale face.
There was anger in Lu Xinyi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by calmness.
"Stop looking!" the guard leading the way urged impatiently, "Hurry up and take you to the place, I have to go back to work!"
Lu Xinyi looked back and followed the guard slowly with Qin Xian's support, secretly thinking about how to save Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo.
She originally thought that after they were captured and brought to the Cheetah Base, they would be locked up.
Unexpectedly, the two men were tied to a cross and displayed in public.
Soon, the guards took them to their destination.
"This is where you live. From tomorrow on, you all have to work, do you understand?"
"I know, I know, thank you big brother."
The guard glanced at the two of them and walked away arrogantly.
"Let's go inside first." Lu Xinyi said, stepping forward and pushing open the shaky wooden door of the shack.
Perhaps because the population of the base has grown too fast, these shacks are all temporary structures, so they are not strong and there is a risk of collapse at any time.
Fortunately, it is winter now and there is no strong wind or rain. H City is a southern city and rarely snows in winter. These simple shacks are still barely safe.
The inside of the shed is so narrow that you can see it all at a glance.
Apart from a simple wooden bed with an old thin quilt placed on it, there were only two wooden benches left.
"Xin Yi, sit down and have a rest." Qin Xian helped her into the house, let her sit on the wooden bed, turned around and closed the door.
After sitting down, Lu Xinyi couldn't help but sigh.
It’s really not easy to be a pregnant woman. It’s really tiring to have a big belly.
"Did you just see it?" Lu Xinyi lowered his voice and whispered.
Qin Xian nodded silently.
"Except for the two of them, everyone else in the Rising Sun Base is scattered throughout the base." She continued in a low voice, "In addition to saving Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo, we also need to take away as many people from the Rising Sun Base as possible. "
"Of course, if they don't want to leave, there's nothing we can do."
As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at Qin Xian, "After the work is assigned tomorrow, you and I will inevitably separate. Then we will separately inquire about the news. But remember, safety comes first."
"I understand." Qin Xian said, looking at her worriedly and then at her big belly, "Xin Yi, you must be careful when you are alone."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
…
Night falls.
A slightly bulky figure carefully avoided the patrols and quickly shuttled through the shanty town.
Lu Xinyi hid in the dark, observing the patrol's route and patterns.
After observing for ten minutes, she took advantage of the patrol to go elsewhere and quickly rushed towards the square like an afterimage.
"Ji Yunzhe."
"who?"
Ji Yunzhe heard someone calling him in his daze. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a strange woman standing in front of him.
"It's me, Lu Xinyi."
"land--"
Ji Yunzhe's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at her in surprise.
Is the pregnant woman in front of me with rough and dull skin, ordinary facial features, and a big belly really the Lu Xinyi with skin as white as snow and beauty as beautiful as a flower?
"No doubt, it's me."
This voice was indeed Lu Xinyi's.
Ji Yunzhe was so frightened that he quickly looked around, fearing that someone would discover them.
"Go quickly, don't get discovered!" He reminded in a low voice.
Lu Xinyi also glanced around, always paying attention to the patrol's movements, and said quickly: "I need you to cooperate with me."
Ji Yunzhe answered firmly without any hesitation: "Okay!"
…
The next day.
Around seven in the morning.
Lu Xinyi had just put on disguise lipstick for herself and Qin Zhi, and had simply eaten something, when a high-pitched voice came from outside the door.
"It's time to get to work! Come out and get to work!"
Starting work so early?
Is this Cheetah Base a survivor base or a prison?
With the support of Qin Xian, the two of them went out together and saw a man with a big body, round waist, fat head and big ears, walking through the shantytown with a loudspeaker.
Many people came out of the shack one after another. Everyone's expression was empty and pale, and they looked lifeless.
But yes, anyone who has to go to work at seven o'clock in the morning in the middle of winter will look lifeless and listless.
After the fat man walked around the shantytown, he came to Lu Xinyi and the two of them.
"Are you the couple who just came yesterday?"
"yes."
The fat man looked at the two of them, pointed at Lu Xinyi and said: "The base sees that you are a pregnant woman and has not arranged heavy work for you. Your job is to wash clothes in the laundry room of the villa area."
"This big brother -" Qin Xian was about to speak when he saw Lu Xinyi gently tugging on his sleeve, and he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips.
The fat man glanced at him dissatisfied and said angrily: "What? Isn't it good to dislike this job? Do you know how many people want to work in the villa area but can't do it? If it weren't for the fact that she is a pregnant woman, the base would not give her preferential treatment. "
"Brother, you have misunderstood." Lu Xinyi explained in a flattering manner, "Your arrangement is very good, I will definitely work hard!"
"It's good to know!" the fat man said, and arranged Qin's job again, "Your job is to follow the logging team to cut down trees and build a shack."
"This big brother." Lu Xinyi asked, "Don't we have earth-type superpowers in our base? Why don't we let earth-type superpowers build houses?"
"It would be nice to have a shack for you to live in, but you want someone with earth powers to build you a house with earth walls?" the fat man said in disgust.
"Then we are also superpowers." Lu Xinyi said with a look of dissatisfaction, "I am a pregnant woman, and I have no complaints if I am asked to do rough work, but my husband is a fire superpower, shouldn't he deserve it?" Reuse it?”
"Hey, so what about the fire-type superpowers?" The fat man looked Qin Geng up and down and said disdainfully, "Do you know how many superpowers there are in our base? There are thousands of people in our base now, and just the superpowers alone are There are two to three hundred! Why should the base reuse you, a newly arrived fire attribute user?"
Lu Xinyi's eyes flashed with confusion, and he asked: "Do all these superpowers live in the villa area?"
"Of course, they are superpowers." The fat man said, "If you want to be reused and live in a villa area, then you have to work hard to contribute to the base. Go to work quickly!"
"...Yes." Lu Xinyi said, looked at Qin Xian, and followed the others to the villa area.
