In the Kyoto City base in the dark night, the lights-out time is 7pm every night. But there are three areas where the lights are on for 2 hours.
One is Lin Xiaoxuan's conference room building, the other is the warning lights at the border around the base, and the other is an area on the south side of the base that has a much larger security force than the base gate.
Lin Xiaoxuan told Su Mi that it was the Zhou family's territory.
Even Lin Xiaoxuan used to have to go through layers of inspections and reports before entering.
This was the second time Lin Xiaoxuan entered the Zhou family's area after the apocalypse, but unlike the last time, this time she didn't have the pride of the past. She seemed to be a different person, accepting Zhou's family quietly and without any complaints. The home guard soldiers inspected and then waited patiently.
At this moment, the Zhou family was urgently summoned to the conference hall in their own area. Zhou Jin was sitting in the highest seat, looking at the group of people around him with a very unhappy expression.
The Zhou family suffered almost no major casualties after the apocalypse, but Mr. Zhou was infected with a very serious unknown disease.
At first I thought it was just a skin disease, but after taking the right medicine, I discovered that the skin started to show bruises and spots and slowly started to fester. Instead of getting better, the condition got worse.
Mr. Zhou knew that this was the result of radiation damaging the immune tissue of the body's skin, so he asked the medical team to start treating him for nuclear disease.
Although the treatment plan was effective, it only controlled her condition. The ulcerated skin did not spread, but it also did not heal. During such long-term treatment, his body became increasingly thin.
At the beginning, there was malnutrition due to the food crisis.
But at least his life was saved.
The terrible thing is that half of his life was hanging on him like this, sometimes with fever, sometimes coma, and sometimes short-term respiratory arrest.
All the best doctors in Kyoto City stayed at Zhou's house to take care of the old man's health.
But the illness came like a mountain, and coupled with the sudden polar night and another heavy rain, his condition became more serious, almost to the point where there was no cure.
Zhou Jin looked at the other Zhou family members at the conference table with a sullen face.
"Everyone, Lin Xiaoxuan probably heard some rumors and came here to ask to see grandpa. Now I need everyone to give me a affirmative voice."
"Master Zhou, there is only one Lin Xiaoxuan in the Lin family now. I think we can give it a try."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, if she takes a tough stance today, she must see the old man. I think we can."
"Oh, why are you so secretive? The Lin family is no longer the Lin family before. What if we turn against you? Can we just detain Lin Xiaoxuan later?"
Zhou Jin tapped the table with his fingers forcefully and rhythmically, making regular sounds.
"I'm not worried that our Zhou family can't beat the Lin family. But, when Lin Xiaoxuan comes to the Zhou family today, other families in the base will definitely be watching. If she is detained by us today, will the other families be worried because they have to strike a balance? Throw the base into chaos."
"Young Master Zhou, I will take people to several other families to surround them now!"
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, "No."
"Master Zhou?"
"Master Zhou?"
"Lin Xiaoxuan probably came here well prepared today. Grandpa's current body cannot withstand any disturbance. Although our Zhou family is not afraid of other families, I have to take care of grandpa's health. Also, she must have received some rumors when she came today. You can stay at Zhou's house tonight to discuss my marriage with Zhou Lan, but you must not die in my Zhou's house or..."
Before Zhou Jin finished speaking, everyone at the conference table suddenly realized.
"Wonderful, Mr. Zhou! You are worthy of being the heir of my Zhou family! With your grandson like you, your grandfather will continue to prosper even in the future."
Zhou Jin shook his head bitterly.
"I'm afraid grandpa's illness won't last long, and our Zhou family must be prepared. After today, if Lin Xiaoxuan learns about grandpa, or if the news about my Zhou family's detention of Lin Xiaoxuan spreads, grandpa's affairs may not be hidden anymore. .”
At this time, Lin Xiaoxuan was still waiting alone at the gate of the Zhou family to be summoned: Whether as the former only female general in China or the current leader of the Kyoto base, she, Lin Xiaoxuan, had never been treated like this in her life.
This was the second time that the Zhou family had trampled her dignity to the ground.
But she is very clear about her position in the heart of her master.
Her status may not be as good as those two unknown little warriors, Zhang Dingding and Zhang Yanni.
She has a strong desire to live, but she can no longer control her own life and death.
If the tasks assigned by the master are not handled well, it will only make the master feel that his remaining value is gone.
The master wants to win over the Zhou family and let the Zhou family control the base to achieve cooperation with the Linjiang City base.
She went this time to hand over her life to the Zhou family.
If she is lucky, she can die later. If she is not lucky, she will die in the hands of the Zhou family and the master will not care about her.
Thinking about it now, her life from glory to sorrow did not actually start from her confrontation with Wang Hexing and others after the end of the world.
Perhaps her tough decision to marry Huang Huiyao back then had destined her today's outcome.
Lin Xiaoxuan here is full of pessimism about his life and is waiting to die. Su Mi on the other side leads Jiu and Qin Hao around every corner of the Kyoto base...
Pull up trees, weeds, and flowers!
Catching ducks, chickens and pigs!
Anything closely related to her space was taken back by her.
Lin Xiaoxuan used his authority to shut down all surveillance in the base, so Su Mi had no burden at this time.
Even if he met a group of patrolling soldiers on the way, he was quickly knocked down and knocked unconscious by the three of them, and then quickly thrown into the space by Su Mi.
Although the population of the Kyoto City base is much larger than that of Linjiang City, without the biological materials in her space, it is very likely that it will fall into a food crisis again.
But what does this have to do with her?
If the Zhou family wants to take over the management of this base in the future, that is what they should think about. It has nothing to do with her, Su Mi.
Moreover, the Linjiang City base is rich in food resources. If a cooperation can be reached, she would be happy for the Zhou family to exchange some energy resources with them for food resources.
In short, things in space must not be lost to the Kyoto City base.
In the banker's residential area, there is also a group of bankers who are urgently discussing countermeasures.
"Dad, we can't delay it any longer. The Zhou family said that Lin Xiaoxuan went to discuss their marriage with them. This is obviously a cover-up!"
"The Lin family and the Zhou family have an engagement, and the marriage between Lin Lan and Zhou Jin, the only child of the Zhou family, is confirmed. Don't you have any thoughts about Lin Lan?"
Zhuang Minfeng thought for a while, "I don't agree with your liking for Huo Xiaoyi before. But if Lin Lan... my banker's strength is not weak, and if we marry with the Lin family, we won't be afraid of the Zhou family. What do you think?"
Zhuang Ruian was anxious. Originally, he didn't plan to talk about that matter until he was qualified to manage the granary.
But now, Lin Xiaoxuan's actions caught him by surprise.
"Dad! That's not what I meant! It's impossible for Lin Xiaoxuan to go to the Zhou family today to discuss marriage!"
"ah?"
"Oh, I don't know why that old woman acted like she was trying to die, but Lin Lan died two weeks ago!
If we don't take action tonight, the base will have to change its surname to Zhou! "
