Just when Wang Xiaoxiao was about to show his determination to leave with a tougher attitude, the system prompt suddenly appeared.
[Ding dong! Short-term task: Have a conversation with Wang Yang and Kong Qiulian within 24 hours to understand the forces behind each other. Task reward: +1 self-service vending machine purchase quota. Task penalty: take back the original self-service vending machine! 】
What Wang Xiaoxiao was about to blurt out was interrupted by a sudden system prompt. Then she changed the subject and said with a smile: "I suddenly feel that you are right. I really don't need to leave so soon. It would be nice to stay for a while." .”
As soon as she finished speaking, the expression on Wang Xiaoxiao's face, which had been fiercely looked at, relaxed a lot, and several people even gave her a stiff smile.
Ma Xing was relieved when she heard that Wang Xiaoxiao was not leaving for the time being. From the bottom of her heart, she was unwilling to do anything to Wang Xiaoxiao. One was a woman, and she knew clearly how difficult it was for women to survive in the apocalypse. Difficult, the other is that the protective shield that appeared around Wang Xiaoxiao before made her very afraid of Wang Xiaoxiao. If they really wanted to fight, they might not be her opponents, and she didn't want to take risks.
Thinking about the new mission, Wang Xiaoxiao asked Ma Xing directly while eating, "Brother Xing, didn't you say before that the former base director of Peacock Base and his wife were arrested by you? I can see you. See them?"
Ma Xing stopped chewing the food and looked at Wang Xiaoxiao warily, "What did you see them doing?"
Wang Xiaoxiao said casually: "I'm just curious. I want to see what it would be like for the base commander who was so high above the ground to be reduced to a prisoner."
"There's nothing to see. The place is very messy. You won't like it."
Wang Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "I spent some time at the Hongshan Base before. There is a branch of a family there who also joined forces with the base director of the Hongshan Base to conduct human experiments. His surname is Kong."
"Surnamed Kong?" Ma Xing had a thoughtful look on his face.
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Wang Yang's wife is also named Kong. I guess the two of them may be from the same family. If that is the case, the power behind her may be beyond our imagination. If she disappears for a long time, do you think , will the family behind her guess that there is a problem with the Peacock Base?"
The look on Ma Xing's face gradually became solemn. Most of her attention before was on Wang Yang, and Kong Qiulian was used more as a bargaining chip to contain Wang Yang.
"I asked Wang Yang to contact the senior management several times before, but Kong Qiulian..."
Wang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Didn't she herself mention anyone she wanted to contact?"
Ma Xing's face looked ugly, "No."
She had already realized at this time that Kong Qiulian deliberately did not mention contacting her family in order to make the other party aware that there was a problem at the Peacock Base.
If Wang Xiaoxiao hadn't reminded her, she might have been kept in the dark. In the end, when the Kong family and senior officials sent someone, they might not even know what went wrong when the disaster was imminent.
Feeling anxious, Ma Xing no longer thought about eating. He stood up suddenly and went to find Kong Qiulian to ask for details.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoxiao also stood up.
Ma Xing glanced at Wang Xiaoxiao, who was following her step by step, but did not say anything to stop her.
Wang Xiaoxiao is more familiar with the Kong family than she is, so she might be able to ask some more questions.
Follow Ma Xing all the way to the deepest part of the underground city. There is a separate compartment here, separated by an iron fence. There are few survivors approaching here. There are still a few advanced people guarding the door. These people see After Ma Xing brought Wang Xiaoxiao over, they all looked at her with unkind eyes.
"Open the door!" Ma Xing's voice was a little low.
Walking into the cubicle, the place fell into darkness with the sound of the iron fence closing.
Before Ma Xing was about to light the torch, Wang Xiaoxiao took out the solar flashlight from his backpack, and the bright light illuminated the compartment.
Only then did Wang Xiaoxiao clearly see the layout inside. The compartments were divided into a dozen smaller rooms, each about three or four square meters, separated by iron doors. The layout was somewhat similar to that of a prison, but these compartments were The rooms are empty.
Ma Xing led Wang Xiaoxiao all the way inside. When he reached the innermost place, Ma Xing stopped. Wang Xiaoxiao used the light of the flashlight to see the two people huddled inside the iron gate.
A man and a woman were locked in adjacent iron doors and exposed to strong light, making them obviously uncomfortable.
A hoarse female voice sounded, "Is the food delivery person here? I don't want to eat multi-grain steamed buns, give me white flour ones instead!"
"Ahem..."
Coughs and a woman's dissatisfied sounds filled his ears.
After a long time, the woman who didn't get a response slowly got up from the ground and straightened her messy hair. When she looked at Ma Xing, Wang Xiaoxiao noticed that her pupils shrank suddenly, and a shocking expression broke out in her eyes. There is also a trace of unknown emotion in his hatred.
"Hey, the new base chief of our Peacock Base is here."
Accompanied by the woman's strange voice, Wang Yang, who had been huddled in the corner, slowly got up from the ground. After tidying up his dirty clothes, he said with a reserved expression on his face, "Is there news from above again? Open the door. .”
…
The person outside the door didn't move for a long time. Wang Yang couldn't keep the expression on his face and couldn't help but show doubts.
Since Ma Xing entered this place, her eyes had not fallen on Wang Yang, but had been staring at Kong Qiulian. At this time, she finally spoke, but she did not want to take Wang Yang out, but said to Kong Qiulian, "You don't want to Contact your family?"
When she heard the word 'family', Kong Qiulian was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, she looked around Ma Xing, and finally her eyes paused briefly on Wang Xiaoxiao.
Kong Qiulian lowered her eyes and concealed the emotion in her eyes, "I don't understand what you want to do? If you want to ridicule us, just say so. There is no need to mention anything else."
The corners of Wang Xiaoxiao's lips raised, "I just asked about your family, why did you react so strongly?"
Kong Qiulian was speechless for a moment and just said: "You lowly people like to ridicule others the most. How do I know why you suddenly mentioned my family?"
Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Kong Qiulian without speaking for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Who are you, Kong Yulin?"
The question was asked suddenly, and Kong Qiulian reflexively looked up at Wang Xiaoxiao.
"Oh? It seems that we know each other. Is he your brother or brother?"
From Kong Qiulian's reaction, Wang Xiaoxiao concluded that Kong Qiulian and Kong Yulin must be related.
Kong Qiulian's eyes narrowed, and her dirty hand stretched out the iron door and fluttered in Wang Xiaoxiao's direction, "Do you know Kong Yulin? Who are you?"
