Since the first snow arrived, the temperature kept dropping rapidly. Unlike the Lin’an City Base, the Green Lake Base didn’t collect enough zombie corpses to last until the end of the winter.
With the limited time to make preparations, there were not many places with central heating systems. Besides the cafeteria and public hall, only the residential areas in the central rings had central heating systems.
Because of the lack of heaters and coal, the survivors could only go to the public hall to take refuge.
As for the cafeteria, it was guarded by more than 200 guards, so no one could stay there. To avoid overcrowding, they weren’t even allowed to stay there for more than 30 minutes after they bought their food.
At this moment, another conflict arose in the public hall.
Following the Lin’an City Base’s rules, the Green Lake Base was also locked down. With no one able to leave or enter the base, the ability-users, especially the mercenary teams, were having too much free time and fewer supplies.
Because of this, they clashed with each other over supplies. Some of them even targeted ordinary people and forced them to send supplies once every few days as a protection fee. Those who refused would be beaten until they were half dead.
When Xie Zhou received this report, he was furious.
He slammed the folder on his desk and roared, "When facing an unknown disaster, those bastards not only didn’t unite, they even dared to behave like local lords! If we don’t teach them a lesson, they might think they are the emperor!"
Luo Bingxing stood to the side and let him vent. She looked at him with a hint of pity in her eyes. It wasn’t easy for him either.
He hadn’t slept or eaten properly for so long. It was normal for him to feel irritated and angry when facing so many problems every day.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Xie Zhou suddenly said, "Let’s go. I will throw all of those troublemakers into the dungeon personally!"
Hearing this, Luo Bingxing returned to her senses and said, "Commander, there is no need for you to go personally. I will send the guards to arrest them."
"Those bastards think they are powerful just because they are mercenaries and think that they can go against the rules. I must go and teach them a lesson," Xie Zhou waved his hand and left the office in large strides.
Seeing this, Luo Bingxing could only follow after him while contacting the Security Department’s Chief to send elite guards over.
Soon after they left the central management building, several groups of elite guards were also on their way to the public hall.
At the same time, Pei Yixie and Fu Guai were on their way back from the cafeteria. The two of them wore thick winter clothes, and with their energy protecting them, they didn’t feel cold at all, even while walking under the heavy snowfall.
Since most people were in the public hall, the roads were deserted. At this moment, besides the two of them, there was only a group of people blocking their way.
"Get out of the way," Pei Yixie said.
Her voice was muffled because of the thick scarf wrapped around her face and neck. Even so, the group was still able to hear her.
When they saw her eyes, one of them finally said, "Boss, we are lucky today. This chick has beautiful eyes. She must be a beauty!"
"I wonder if her body under those clothes is also beautiful," another one added, eyeing her covetously.
"Boss, having a beauty to warm your bed in this cold weather is the best. When you are done playing with her, don’t forget us. We also want to have a taste and warm up ourselves," a man with a sharp chin and small eyes added while licking his chapped lips.
Pei Yixie was furious when she heard their lustful thoughts and blatant words. She clenched her fists and was ready to beat the shit out of these bastards.
But before she could make a move, a shadow flashed past her. The next moment, she only heard the sound of bones breaking, accompanied by screams and groans.
Duagh! CRACK!
The man who had just been looking at her lustfully was thrown to the ground a few steps away from her. Judging from the sound, he must have broken several ribs.
Pei Yixie looked at the man covering his eyes with his hands and noticed blood flowing from them, staining the snow crimson.
Seeing this, she was taken aback. When she raised her head, she saw Fu Guai wiping his blood-covered hands on the face of one of the men.
Although his body had slowly recovered, his vocal cords were still damaged, and he could only make some hoarse sounds. So, he still has not uttered a single word. Despite his inability to talk, his mind was very active.
At this moment, Pei Yixie heard his voice clearly, cursing at the group, echoing in her mind. The words he used were too dirty and harsh for a young lady like her.
She couldn’t continue listening to his curses anymore and walked over. Reaching out, she pulled at the hood of his winter coat lightly and said, "Brother Fu, it’s enough. I’m hungry and cold. Let’s go back."
Hearing this, Fu Guai finally stopped cursing at them and stood up. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to give the man another kick in the crotch.
"Dare to covet her? I will cripple your precious brother!" Fu Guai thought ruthlessly.
Crack!
"AKHHH!!!"
As soon as Pei Yixie heard his thoughts, she heard something break and a scream. Looking down, she saw that the man with a sharp chin and small eyes had fainted.
His eyes rolled back, and foam gathered at the corners of his mouth, but his hands were still covering his crotch. Under his body, the snow slowly turned red.
Noticing her staring at the monkey-faced man, Fu Guai grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
"Stop Looking! You will dirty your eyes."
