Luo Xiaole stepped into the dormitory.
She heard a loud "crackling" sound.
It was as if someone had dropped all the glass cups in the dormitory onto the floor.
Luo Xiaole looked up, and the dormitory door was ajar.
Lin Xia would not get angry without a special reason, and that mother and son usually seemed very kind.
The only one likely to throw a tantrum was Zuo Ran.
If it weren't for that soldier playing around in the dark last night and insisting on this arrangement, and if they only planned to stay for one night.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to share a room with Zuo Ran.
As expected, when Luo Xiaole pushed the door open, she was met with several sharp shards of glass.
"What are you doing? Throwing a tantrum for no reason?" Luo Xiaole was also rude to Zuo Ran.
Zuo Ran was still stroking her stomach, leaning against the head of the bed with difficulty, her lips pale, looking weak.
She had not yet recovered from her serious injury.
It seemed that smashing the glass cups had used up all her strength.
"She was crying and begging for water just now, and the soldier couldn't stand it anymore, so he brought her a cup. As soon as she finished drinking, she started throwing a tantrum..." The mother also looked speechless.
She quickly told Luo Xiaole what had happened.
With a hateful look, she held a piece of glass that had splashed onto the bed and pointed it menacingly at Luo Xiaole.
"If it weren't for you, Mo Chen would have come to protect me then. He promised me! I wouldn't have been injured this badly by Li Xiaotian."
Luo Xiaole let out a soft laugh, as if she had heard a huge joke.
"Oh, you also remember that Li Xiaotian injured you? Then let me ask you, why did he target you? Wasn't it because you did something improper to him, and he came to seek revenge? Haven't you heard the saying 'reaping what you sow'?"
Luo Xiaole had run out of patience with her.
She had been rushing all the way, hovering on the brink of death, and hadn't even had time to fully digest the information.
How could she bother with these self-incapacitating "idle people" in the team?
She had almost forgotten about Zuo Ran's existence.
But now that someone was asking for trouble, she wouldn't be polite!
This was the first time Zuo Ran had heard Luo Xiaole genuinely mock her.
She was shocked, how could this seemingly easy-to-bully softie, who usually kept quiet, hit her where it hurt the most when she did speak?
Her eyes flickered for a moment, then she resumed her venomous expression.
"I... I just didn't save him, I didn't do anything! How dare you accuse me?"
Luo Xiaole grinned and smiled.
Then she suddenly leaned close to Zuo Ran, too lazy to play guessing games with her.
"I'll ask you one more time, what exactly did you do, and what did Li Xiaotian go through, for him to become like that?" Her tone deepened.
Zuo Ran felt a cold glint flash by.
Immediately, a cold object was pressed against her neck. It was extremely sharp, and a slight proximity drew a very fine bloodstain on her neck.
She glanced down and saw that Luo Xiaole was holding a small dagger and had it pressed against her throat.
Zuo Ran was instantly panicked but dared not move, biting her lip tightly.
This Luo Xiaole, who usually seemed so delicate, how could she be so terrifying when she became fierce!
"I... I'll tell you..." Her voice trembled slightly.
"The next day, on the second floor of the airport, we encountered a zombie. That zombie had a very strange appearance, with something like a tentacle growing from its head. The tentacle could spray a black liquid. Li Xiaotian had an injured stomach at the time, and when he was sprayed by that liquid, he..." She was also very flustered, and her memory was very chaotic.
Luo Xiaole knew without thinking that Zuo Ran and Xu Lingyan were present at the time. The two of them must have suddenly fled in the middle, abandoning their defensive positions, leaving Li Xiaotian to fight alone. That's how he got sprayed by the liquid and became infected...
It seemed she needed to be wary of zombies with horns on their heads. She hoped they wouldn't encounter them soon.
After considering everything, Luo Xiaole put away the dagger.
"Hoo... hoo..." Zuo Ran then clutched her neck and began to pant heavily.
"You just wait!" She muttered indignantly.
"What am I waiting for you for?" To her surprise, Luo Xiaole heard her words, "After today, we go our separate ways."
"Luo Xiaole, what do you mean!" Zuo Ran's inner panic reached its peak.
She had been building a good image within the team just to cling to these people and have them protect her.
How dare this little sprout try to drive her away?
"Do you think you can represent the entire team? What a joke!" Zuo Ran struggled to support herself, threw off her tattered quilt, and stumbled off the bed.
She headed straight for the dormitory of Big Back Hair and Mo Chen.
"Mo Chen, Mo Chen! You tell me, Luo Xiaole is too much, she threatened me just now and held a knife to my throat! We've been through so much together, does she have to be like this..." Zuo Ran, as if her face had changed, burst into tears.
Big Back Hair heard the commotion and came out.
Nie Yuan and the others also peeked out when they heard the noise.
"What's all the noise about!" A nearby soldier said impatiently, picking his ear.
"It's... it's nothing, just a little friction between our teammates..." Zuo Ran flinched a little at his fierce look.
"Is she your teammate?" The soldier looked at Luo Shu and the others with confusion.
To his surprise, Luo Shu, Zhou Xiaojun, and Nie Yuan, as if by tacit agreement, all shook their heads.
Mo Chen even turned over on his bed, too lazy to bother with the matters at the door, finding it all just noisy.
"You... you guys!" Zuo Ran was shocked. They had never considered her a teammate?
"Enough! Don't cause trouble here. You all have to leave today anyway. The base can only be stayed in for one day. You, go to the assembly point downstairs immediately. All of you from this batch have to go!" The soldier pushed and shoved her towards the downstairs.
"Zuo Ran..." Big Back Hair looked at Zuo Ran's retreating figure, glared at Nie Yuan, and then, with the remaining two brothers, chased after her.
"Oh my, did I miss a good show." Luo Xiaole then stretched, rubbed her tired eyes, and sauntered over as if nothing had happened.
While Zuo Ran was out causing trouble, Luo Xiaole hadn't been idle.
She had reinforced everything she could find in the dormitory, even the old wooden chair.
In special times, for the sake of transactions, she had to make do with what she had.
People in the adjacent dormitories seemed to have gone downstairs for assembly as well, so she quickly mobilized her mental power and reinforced them again.
[32 weapons have been reinforced, costing 6400 store coins, with a balance of 36150 store coins.]
She had rapidly consumed her mental power in a short period, and now she felt extremely fatigued.
However, the good news was that they now had a map to Luocheng Base, and they had parted ways with Zuo Ran and the others.
They could finally act as a small, independent group.
At this moment, someone hurried down from upstairs, clutching a very familiar-looking desk lamp.
Luo Xiaole felt that the object was very familiar and didn't look like something from this place...
She suddenly had a jolt, and memories flooded back.
This wasn't the desk lamp she had found and reinforced in her own warehouse bedroom in the residential area at the time?
Had people from the residential area also come to this base?
She was somewhat delighted.
Suddenly, an announcement blared from the speakers.
"The base is about to be locked down. Please do not move."
