The housekeeper robot replied: "Don't worry, Master, everything is fine at the base. Zhou Yan has properly placed the four newly recruited members and assigned them jobs, so you don't have to worry."
The four people the housekeeper mentioned were Ning Ning's family that they picked up in that small county on the day they first set out.
Ning Ning's superpower is to copy weapons. Regarding this, she told Zhou Yan through the housekeeper when she took in Ning Ning's family that day.
Therefore, Ning Ning's task after entering the base is to copy weapons.
Lu Xinyi hummed softly and asked: "What about the other bases? How are Dawn Base, Rising Sun Base and Water Cube Base doing lately?"
"We have not received any news from these three bases so far." The butler's voice had a mechanical electronic sound. "If there is any important news, I will tell the master immediately."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It is my duty to serve my master."
After finishing the conversation with the butler, Lu Xinyi ate half a bowl of rice before putting down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.
She stood up and left the table, walking slowly in the open space next to her to eat, looking lazily at the surrounding mountains.
April is the time of spring, when the vegetation in the mountains and forests is full of vitality, and the green trees sprout bright green buds, forming a distinct layer with the dark old leaves.
Lu Xinyi casually glanced at the mountains opposite, and suddenly his eyes fell on somewhere in the forest.
The distance was already more than 500 meters, and her mental power could not spread there, so she could only rely on her unusual eyesight to distinguish.
It's a small, slightly reflective light spot, not obvious, but you can still catch it if you look closely.
A bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and she quickly turned around and said to the people behind her: "Stop eating, pack up and leave here quickly."
Hua Dai had just eaten a piece of goose meat, and her lips were still stained with oil. She asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"There is someone in the forest." Lu Xinyi said in a deep voice, "We are being targeted."
"What?" Hua Dai immediately became vigilant and looked around, "Where is it?"
As if to confirm her words, as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of bullets piercing the air suddenly came.
Lu Xinyi turned her head and saw a bullet flying towards her at lightning speed.
Almost without thinking, she immediately released the defensive barrier and blocked the bullets outside the barrier.
"Fuck, someone really attacked!" Yuan Yi dropped the bowl in his hand, stood up, frowned and cursed, "Where is he? I won't kill him until I kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Yu Nan had quickly climbed onto the roof of the car and was lying on the roof with a sniper rifle on his shoulder.
"Miss Lu, please cover me in your defensive barrier, thank you."
Lu Xinyi nodded, and the defensive barrier expanded, covering Yu Nan and the jeep.
Geng Rui and the other three knew that their combat effectiveness was low and they did not dare to hinder everyone. They could only find a place to hide and try not to cause trouble to everyone.
The others found places to hide, and took out their guns and aimed them at the forest on the opposite side.
The situation between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.
Whoosh——
Another bullet flew.
This time, the opponent did not target Lu Xinyi, but shot at Du Heng and Xia Lianqiao who were hiding behind the off-road vehicle.
However, the off-road vehicle's defense was at full level, and the bullets hit the carriage without even leaving a bullet hole before falling to the ground.
"I saw someone." Yu Nan pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Even though he was wearing glasses, it did not affect his vision at all. He looked focused and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom!
The gunfire rang out and shot into the woods opposite.
Immediately afterwards, a faint scream came, and the reflective spot suddenly disappeared.
"Solved." Yu Nan said confidently.
"Just one person?" Hua Dai asked, sticking her head out from behind the jeep and looking seriously into the woods.
"Not sure." Yu Nan looked through the sniper rifle's magnifying glass at the woods opposite. "I only see one person so far, but I don't rule out that there are teammates ambushing elsewhere."
"Then observe again and don't take it lightly." Hua Dai warned.
"Yeah." Yu Nan responded and continued to observe.
With Yunan in charge of the investigation, Lu Xinyi looked away and looked at Qin and the other four people. She felt relieved when she saw that everyone was safe and sound.
But at this moment, another bullet pierced the air.
Only this time, it was from behind everyone.
"ah!"
Yao Yue, who was hiding behind Geng Rui and Jack, bore the brunt of the shot and the bullet hit her left calf.
Due to the inertia, she threw herself forward on Geng Rui and Jack, her face suddenly turned into pain.
"Yao Yue!" Geng Rui hurriedly supported her and asked worriedly, "How are you?"
Although Yao Yue's eldest lady's temper made him a little unhappy, after all, they were companions who had been together for several months, and he couldn't just watch her get hurt.
"Quickly, help her enter Miss Lu's defensive barrier!" Hua Dai waved to the three of them, then turned to let the others enter the defensive barrier.
Fortunately, Lu Xinyi's defensive barrier was spacious enough to accommodate everyone and a jeep.
The man hiding in the dark fired several more shots, but they all hit the defensive barrier.
"Have you found anyone?" Hua Dai looked up at Yu Nan on the roof of the car.
Yu Nan had already changed direction and was observing the woods behind him.
"Saw someone."
After saying this, he adjusted his breathing and shot decisively.
But the opponent's reaction was also very quick, and he quickly hid behind a big rock when he fired.
As a result, Yu Nan's bullet hit the stone.
"We are too passive." Yu Nan said, "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. The other party can see our every move, but we don't even know where the other party is."
"Then let's go?" Hua Dai raised her eyebrows.
"I'm afraid the other party won't let us go easily." Lu Xinyi's voice was a little low, and his sharp eyes looked at the figure walking in the woods opposite.
The other party obviously didn't want to play the hide-and-seek game with them. At this moment, people hiding in the dark moved out one after another, and the woods were full of moving figures.
Hua Dai also noticed the situation on the opposite side and said: "There are at least twenty or thirty people here, right? How can we meet so many people in the wilderness?"
"Not only that, there are people behind us." Lu Xinyi calmed down and said, "This is not a wilderness. According to the map, there is a city about 20 kilometers away from here."
"You know all this?" Hua Dai looked at her in surprise, "Have you memorized all the maps?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Lu Xinyi pointed to the figure in the woods opposite, "They are coming."
Yu Nan's voice also sounded at the right time: "The people on the mountain behind have also come down."
Not long after, a total of fifty or sixty people ran down in the woods in front of and behind the crowd. Each of them was armed with live ammunition, and the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the crowd without hesitation.
