Luo Xiaole leaned on her sore knees, having just climbed to the dormitory stairwell.
She heard Zhou Xiaojun's loud voice shouting.
"Mo Chen! You can't move yet! What are you trying to get out of bed for again? Why is this child so disobedient!" He was practically exhausted from worrying about Mo Chen.
"Don't move!" Luo Xiaole's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
Mo Chen froze. Hearing this voice, he finally stopped struggling.
A flicker of unease crossed his eyes. She had been gone for quite a while.
But Luo Xiaole was completely unaware of his worries.
She had only been back in the dormitory for a short time, not even settled down yet.
She had actually called Luo Shu out again, and the two said they were going to get some supplies.
Mo Chen thumped the bedboard, tilted his head back, and lay straight on the bed like a mummy.
"I won't move again," he thought. "My injury needs to heal quickly. If I can't move, Little Sprout will have to turn the world upside down on her own!"
...
"Xiao Le, you're finally back. While you were gone, Mo Chen almost rushed out several times! Fortunately, I stopped him, hehehe."
"Well done!" Luo Xiaole gave him a thumbs up.
"By the way, the food in our backpacks, we almost finished it on the first night, right?" Luo Xiaole confirmed with Luo Shu.
"Yeah... if we don't find anything today, there'll really be nothing to eat."
As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, Luo Xiaole began to observe intently. Only she could see the green protective shield.
This time, she found a weak spot in the protective shield at the window on the other side of the corridor.
"Here!" Luo Xiaole beckoned.
Luo Shu's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed.
"It's here! Use your ability quickly!" Luo Xiaole stared at the gap, even holding her breath.
Luo Shu adjusted his position as instructed.
This time, they managed to get a lot of food, as well as medicine and antibiotics that Mo Chen needed.
It was all packed into a small backpack they had prepared beforehand.
"Wait! I want to get two more of those oat bars I saw last time! They're delicious!" Luo Shu leaped about like a monkey.
But in the next second, his ability failed again.
"Hmm... it seems like it's not possible today." Luo Xiaole spread her hands and shrugged. The weak spot had slipped away again.
"By the way, give me these few types of food."
After Luo Xiaole finished speaking, she picked out a few small snacks from his backpack. She then froze in place.
"..." Luo Shu was shocked. Had the little captain become so excited by food that she was stiffening up now!
At this moment, another Luo Xiaole had appeared in the space, standing in front of a food stall.
She was excitedly stuffing food into the window at the entrance.
"Detected that host has collected 10 new types of food. Please continue your efforts."
Luo Xiaole felt that the broadcast in her ear sounded much more pleasant.
So, as long as she accumulated about 90,000 mall coins and collected 12 more types of food.
The food stall, which would have an unlimited food source, could be activated!
...
Luo Xiaole's steps as she led Luo Shu back to the dormitory were much more cheerful.
Before they even approached the dormitory door.
She heard what sounded like a commotion at the entrance.
"Stop wasting your breath, hand over your supplies!" Several soldiers stood there aggressively, guns pointed at Luo Shu and the others.
"Scared, aren't you!" the soldier shouted, a smug expression on his face.
He hadn't expected the young man who always had a cold expression to remain unresponsive. But Luo Shu and Zhou Xiaojun, who were blocking the doorway with their bodies, showed no reaction even when faced with the gun muzzle.
The two exchanged glances and, with perfect coordination, pulled out sunglasses, hats, and masks from their pockets, wrapping themselves up completely.
What... what were they doing?
They weren't afraid of guns? They were quite brave!
The two stood with their hands in their pockets, nonchalantly.
Joking aside, they had personally witnessed Luo Xiaole feigning death with her clothes on and emerging completely unharmed.
How could bullets harm them?
"What's going on here?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded from beside them.
Luo Xiaole also poked her head forward, her round eyes wide.
"Do you know someone died downstairs last night? Fell right downstairs! Don't play dumb, you killed one of our men, you have to pay a price!" the soldier said with ill intent.
"Oh? Falling down doesn't necessarily mean it was our floor. Why are you so sure it was us? Did you perhaps send people to attack us last night?" Seeing their foolishness, Luo Xiaole decided to counter-question.
"Pfft! Admitting it indirectly, aren't they idiots!" Zhou Xiaojun couldn't help but laugh beside them, mocking them endlessly.
"..." How dare they play tricks on them!
The soldier spat, thinking they were looking down on him. If that was the case, he wouldn't be blamed for shooting them!
He immediately loaded his gun and instinctively pulled the trigger towards Luo Shu and the others!
"Swish!" Unexpectedly, several sharp gusts of wind flashed by.
Then, the leader soldier's gun was disarmed by someone.
Several inconspicuous men wearing sunglasses rushed forward and engaged them in a fight. Soon, the soldiers were sporting injuries.
One of the fallen soldiers, reaching for a gun on the ground, was enraged and fired several shots at Luo Xiaole.
Indeed, a few bullets were fired.
But Little Sprout was still standing perfectly fine!
He was furious. Did this gun have no accuracy? They missed even at this range?
These few men were associates of Brother Cheng, and they hadn't received military training, so their fighting skills were originally poor, relying entirely on Brother Cheng's firearms.
But these men in sunglasses were much more skilled, as if they had undergone professional training.
"Damn it!" They cursed a few times, then touched their bruised and swollen faces and ran away.
"Young Madam, are you alright?" After beating up the men, the sunglasses-wearing men approached Lin Xia.
"Yes, you did well." Lin Xia carried herself with great authority.
"Wow, Lin Xia, you're so imposing!" Luo Xiaole exclaimed involuntarily.
She hadn't encountered such a heroic and capable girl in a long time.
Everyone saw Luo Shu's bulging backpack.
"Thanks to Xiao Le, we have delicious food again today!" Luo Shu winked at the people inside the room, his eyes full of joy.
...
Everyone was sensible. Even with the supplies, they didn't eat excessively.
Each person still received a basic portion.
The rest would be eaten slowly later.
After briefly filling their stomachs, everyone sat in a circle.
They planned to discuss their next course of action.
"There are too many soldiers with firearms at the entrance. We don't need to confront them head-on," Luo Shu said first.
This base was not a good place, but leaving it was not simple either.
Furthermore, everyone's abilities had mysteriously disappeared, so it was not a good time to engage in a head-on confrontation.
"We'll investigate the reason for the disappearance of our abilities for the next two days, and then observe the surrounding guards to see if there are any breakthroughs."
Everyone agreed.
Then, they began chatting in small groups.
"Xiao Le, where did you learn your combat skills?" Lin Xia suddenly looked at Luo Xiaole and asked playfully.
