Luo Xiaole shivered inexplicably when she saw the car.
The glass of the car window seemed to have been modified.
She couldn't see what was happening inside the window.
But she always felt a gaze, as if piercing through the car window, like a viper, fixedly staring at the dormitory building.
She quickly rolled up the car window.
"Pop."
The dormitory lights out on schedule.
All the rooms were plunged into darkness.
Zuo Ran lay on the bed, holding the slightly smelly quilt, and felt a wave of nausea.
She had been seriously injured at the airport, and now smelling this odor made her feel even more uncomfortable.
But there was nothing she could do, she could only endure it while cursing inwardly.
Finally, as she was about to fall asleep, she felt Luo Xiaole climb out of bed in a daze.
She quietly opened the door and went out.
She returned less than five minutes later.
As if nothing had happened, she climbed back into bed.
Luo Xiaole had actually gone to find Luo Shu and brought out three fragrant down quilts from his space.
Then she gave one to Lin Xia and the mother.
She naturally kept one for herself.
In the cold room, she rubbed her sore joints, wrapped herself in her warm little quilt, completely isolating herself from the originally smelly bedsheets.
She mentally reviewed the plan for what to do next.
She didn't know Qin Mingyang's specific plan of action yet, nor how far the activation of Qin Mingyang's ring had progressed.
Tomorrow, she would first find Zhou Xiaojun to get some news from their side.
She also needed to ask Luo Shu to take out a portion of the food from his space. Along with what was in her backpack, she would start accumulating 100 types of food, which would completely solve the problem of food supplies in the future.
And she might as well loot some weapons.
Her pace of leveling up couldn't stop.
As she thought about these things, she drifted off to sleep.
...
The next morning, she woke up to Zuo Ran's furious voice.
"Why do the three of you have such good quilts, and I don't!" She had slept poorly last night because of the smelly quilt.
"Oh, these quilts cost money. What, do you have supplies to exchange with us now? If you do, I can certainly get you another one." Luo Xiaole said nonchalantly while getting dressed.
She knew very well that Zuo Ran had nothing on her right now.
She was actually afraid Zuo Ran would suddenly produce something useful, and she didn't want to give her the quilt.
"Right, you haven't paid for the supplies from yesterday either. Please pay up." Luo Xiaole got out of bed and held out her hand towards Zuo Ran.
"You! You're going too far!" Zuo Ran was furious, almost crying.
"Oh, is it going too far for me not to give you supplies for free?" After spending a long time with Luo Shu and Zhou Xiaojun, Luo Xiaole was becoming more and more adept at talking back.
"Wuwuwu..." Zuo Ran quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran out to complain to Big Back Hair and the others.
Unexpectedly, Big Back Hair also ran out in a huff.
He grabbed one of the soldiers and argued, "How can you treat us differently! You gave them such nice new quilts last night, and we have to use those smelly ones?"
Unexpectedly, the soldier directly pointed his gun at his head.
"Don't cause trouble for me here! What new quilts?"
Big Back Hair swallowed in terror, raised his hands to show he would behave.
Then he nervously led the soldier to Luo Shu and the others' dormitory and gestured for the soldier to go in and see for himself.
The soldier opened the door, looked around, and came out with a dark expression.
He kicked Big Back Hair in the butt!
Big Back Hair yelped and was kicked into the room. Looking up, he was stunned. The bed still had the old, yellowish bedding.
Where was the snow-white and plump down quilt he had seen through the gap in the door that morning!
"This... this is impossible... I saw it with my own eyes..." he said incredulously.
"Are you done making a scene? Get back into your room. You can't come out today." The soldier showed no mercy.
Luo Xiaole witnessed the whole process and, like Luo Shu and Zhou Xiaojun beside her, her face broke into a radiant smile.
But when she heard the soldier's words, she was taken aback.
"Young man, wasn't it said that the base only allows overnight stays? Why aren't you letting us leave our rooms?" she asked, a little confused.
"Important personnel have arrived at the base, and there will be a general lockdown and curfew for a few days. You won't be able to leave for now."
Could it be because of Qin Mingyang?
Luo Xiaole frowned again.
She didn't think it was possible. What did it have to do with Qin Mingyang whether others could leave or not.
The base wouldn't go into lockdown like this for just one person.
She felt there had to be another reason.
Since she couldn't leave for the time being, she might as well do the things she needed to do.
She called Zhou Xiaojun out.
"How is Mo Chen's injury?" she was still very worried.
Mo Chen had been in a semi-conscious state for most of these past few days, and she felt very guilty.
"Don't worry, Luo Shu has so many good things, and he's getting replenished. When your vitality is injured, it takes time to recover." Zhou Xiaojun was already aware of Luo Shu's abilities.
He had slept really comfortably on that down quilt last night!
Knowing that Luo Xiaole had put the quilt into her space, he couldn't help but feel that Luo Xiaole and her teammates were much more reliable than the people they had met before.
"Go ahead, what do you want me to eavesdrop on?" Zhou Xiaojun was already quite experienced at eavesdropping.
"Qin Mingyang." Luo Xiaole only said three words this time.
"Hiss... They're here too?" Zhou Xiaojun only paused for a second. "Okay, please wait a moment."
Zhou Xiaojun positioned himself and searched around like an antenna.
He quickly located Qin Mingyang's room, closed his eyes, frowned, and began to listen intently.
"They say they've lost contact with home, but the military base and Luocheng Base have established contact, and someone will be here to escort Qin Mingyang soon."
"Tsk, what kind of power does this Qin family have to be able to mobilize the base's resources in this situation?"
"I'll tell you about this later. Their family's industries and tentacles in all walks of life are beyond our imagination." Zhou Xiaojun said that he often heard rumors and would explain it to Luo Xiaole later.
"Anything else? Listen more?" Luo Xiaole urged.
"Yes, the ring failed to activate again..." Zhou Xiaojun seemed to already know what information Luo Xiaole was concerned about.
As expected, Luo Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Xiaole, if you need anything, you can tell us. We will help you." Zhou Xiaojun also sensed that Luo Xiaole probably had some unfathomable secret.
"Thank you. When the time is right, I will tell you."
With one task completed.
Luo Xiaole clapped her hands and called Luo Shu out again.
The two of them hid in a large rooftop at the corner of the corridor on this floor.
"Quick, hand over all the food. Just take one of each kind." Luo Xiaole said with anticipation.
