The room fell silent for a moment. Li Minghao patted Li Shixian and said, "Why are you saying such depressing words? We have experienced many disasters in the past. No matter what disasters come in the future, we will get through them safely."

Li Minghao stood up and clapped his hands. "Alright, except for those who need to keep watch, everyone else should go and rest. Don't stand here."

Everyone nodded silently and went into the room to rest. Li Shixian touched his head which was hurt by the beating and said nothing.

Father Li pulled Li Shixian to sit down and said, "Shixian, as a core member of a team, others can be frustrated, but you can't, because there are other people standing behind you. If you don't have confidence, how can you lead this team well?"

Li Shixian lowered his head, his face blank, "Dad, I don't have confidence."

Looking at his son's confused and helpless look, to be honest, everyone is like this, but he can't show it in front of anyone, including his son Li Shixian.

Patting Li Shixian on the shoulder, he said, "It's okay. If you don't have confidence, go find it. Dad is old now, and I have to rely on you in the future."

Li Minghao didn't say anything else after he finished speaking. It would be bad to say too much. Let him think about it himself. He believed that he could figure it out.

Li Shixian sat there for a long time. He knew that what his father said was right, but he was really unsure.

He didn’t know what kind of disaster would come in the future. If he had believed the post Yun Yao pushed to him and bought supplies in advance, he and his father would have no idea what kind of life they would be living now.

Forget it, things have already come to this. As long as he can be with his father and these uncles, he will hold on no matter how difficult it is.

After Li Shixian figured it out, he stood in front of the window, looking at the moon in the sky that was emitting full moonlight. From time to time, he could hear the curses and fighting sounds of the survivors. Slowly, he calmed down his guilty conscience.

The situation at the base is relatively good today. We were just caught off guard by the mutated insects last night. By the time the base reacted, there were not enough people and equipment. We had no choice but to wait until dawn when the insects retreated before making plans.

The Chaoyang base also suffered heavy casualties, which means that every single person is extremely precious and cannot be easily injured at this critical juncture.

The research laboratory at the base also gathered people overnight to research items to repel the mutated insects.

……

At the mountaintop villa, Yun Yao and the others spent the night safely. When daybreak came, the yard was littered with the corpses of mutated insects and rats.

So when it was almost dawn, everyone swept up all the insects in the yard, piled them together, and then burned them.

Smelling the barbecue smell in the air, Ah San twitched his nose, "You know what, this smells quite nice, it smells like barbecue."

Everyone smelled it, but this meat is inedible.

Sang Ning suggested: "How about you go in and chat and then have a meal together?"

Ah San shook his head firmly: "No, I still value my life very much. Being alive is such a wonderful thing!"

The survivors who had been fighting wits and courage with the insects all night now smelled the burnt aroma of barbecue. Many of them had green lights in their eyes, but when they saw the direction of the black smoke, they forced themselves to suppress the desire in their hearts.

However, there are still people who are eager to go up and see what it smells like and why it is so fragrant.

Those with quick brains already knew where the meat aroma came from, and they completely suppressed the desire in their hearts. This was fatal, as it was not worth it just for a bite of meat.

There were also people who were so hungry that they were dizzy. After being attacked by mutant insects, their minds were no longer clear and they were staggering towards the villa on the top of the mountain.

In the villa on the top of the mountain, everyone sat in the living room. After cooking breakfast and eating it, they had to wait for the fire to be completely extinguished before going back to rest.

Ten minutes later, several survivors with flushed faces appeared at the door.

Everyone is tanned, so why can you see their faces are red? It’s probably because their faces are black with a hint of red, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Yun Yao saw that the exposed parts of their bodies, hands and feet had marks of being bitten by mutant insects. In addition, these people walked erratically, their brains seemed to be not very clear, and their eyes were a little cloudy.

"Asan, do you think there's something wrong with these people?" Yun Yao asked Asan who came out with her.

Ah San observed carefully for a moment and nodded seriously: "Sister-in-law, these people are indeed not right, they must be infected."

Yun Yao: "Well, it is very likely that it was attracted by the scent of the insects we burned."

"Then should we kill them? If they are really infected with some virus, it will be bad."

"Okay, go call them out and leave them in the empty villa downstairs. If they wake up, they will leave on their own. If they don't, we don't have to deal with them."

Yun Yao looked at the few people wandering unconsciously at the gate and had no intention of rescuing them. Besides, it was still unclear whether they could be rescued.

"Okay." Asan walked into the villa. After a while, four men came out with ropes, gloves and other things.

Sang Ning also followed them. Yun Yao briefly spoke to them and then opened the door. They quickly went out because several survivors who heard the door opening were rushing into the villa quickly.

However, Lu Jinan and his group were quick. They tied up the men in a minute. They knocked them out directly to avoid physical contact with them.

Lu Jinan's face darkened slightly: "These people seem to be moving faster. I wonder if it's because of the infection."

These survivors had sallow faces, sunken cheeks, and thin bodies. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to have such strong explosive power.

The others also saw the speed of these people and their faces darkened. This was especially strange when they were still unconscious.

Mo Jun: "Take the person away first."

The four of them carried one person each and went downstairs, while Yun Yao and Sang Ning stayed in the villa.

Lu Jinan and his team found a relatively intact villa about 1 kilometer away from them and locked the people in the basement.

These people had developed abnormally high fevers, and Lu Jinan and the others had sensed it. After throwing them to the ground, they left the villa.

Close the doors and windows of the villa. These people are very conscious and will come out on their own. If they die, that's their fate.

A few people returned to the villa on the top of the mountain, leaving Wang Lei and Sang Ning on duty while the others went to rest. The fire in the yard was almost out, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Since they lived here, Wang Lei and Sang Ning packed up the pile of ashes to prevent it from being blown everywhere.
