There were obvious whip marks on the two men's bodies, and their clothes were stained with blood, and their clothes were torn to shreds by the whip.

When the man was dragged over, the two of them slowly raised their heads and looked at him, which also allowed Lu Xinyi to see their appearance.

It’s Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo!

Both of them looked pale and weak. Su Mo's long hair was scattered messily, covering her pale face.

Anger flashed across Lu Xinyi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by calmness.

"Stop looking!" the guard leading the way urged impatiently, "Hurry up, I've got you guys to the place, I still have to get back to work!"

Lu Xinyi withdrew her gaze and followed the guard slowly with the support of Qin Ju, secretly thinking about how to save Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo.

She originally thought that they would be locked up after being captured and brought to the Cheetah Base.

But unexpectedly, the two were tied to the cross and displayed to the public.

Soon, the guards brought them to their destination.

"This is where you live. From tomorrow on, you all have to work. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know. Thank you, big brother."

The guard glanced at the two of them, then walked away with his head held high and haughty.

“Come in first.” Lu Xinyi said, and pushed open the shaky wooden door of the shed.

Perhaps because the population of the base has grown too quickly, these huts are all built temporarily and are therefore not solidly built, with the risk of collapse at any time.

Fortunately, it is winter now and there are no strong winds or heavy rains. H City is a southern city and it rarely snows in winter, so these simple shacks are still barely safe.

The interior of the shed is narrow and you can see it all at a glance.

Apart from a simple wooden bed with a worn thin quilt on it, there were only two wooden benches.

"Xinyi, come and sit down and rest for a while." Qin Ju helped her into the house, let her sit on the wooden bed, turned around and closed the door.

After sitting down, Lu Xinyi couldn't help but sigh.

Being a pregnant woman is not that easy. It's really tiring to carry a big belly.

"Did you just see it?" Lu Xinyi asked in a low voice.

Qin Ju nodded silently.

"Except for the two of them, everyone else in the Rising Sun Base is scattered throughout the base." She continued in a low voice, "In addition to rescuing Ji Yunzhe and Su Mo, we also need to take away as many people from the Rising Sun Base as possible."

"Of course, if they don't want to leave, there's nothing we can do."

As she spoke, she looked up at Qin Ju, "After the work is assigned tomorrow, you and I will definitely be separated. Then we can separately inquire about the news. But remember, safety is the most important thing."

"I understand." Qin Ju said, looking at her worriedly, then at her big belly, "Xinyi, you must be careful when you are alone."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

……

Night falls.

A slightly clumsy figure carefully avoided the patrol team and quickly shuttled through the shantytown.

Lu Xinyi hid in the dark, observing the patrol team's routes and patterns.

After observing for ten minutes, she took advantage of the patrol going somewhere else and rushed to the square as fast as a shadow.

"Ji Yunzhe."

"Who?"

Ji Yunzhe heard someone calling him in his daze. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a strange woman standing in front of him.

"It's me, Lu Xinyi."

"land--"

Ji Yunzhe's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at her in surprise.

Is this pregnant woman in front of me with rough and dark skin, ordinary facial features and a big belly really the Lu Xinyi with skin as white as snow and beauty as a flower?

"Don't doubt it, it's me."

This voice was indeed Lu Xinyi's voice.

Ji Yunzhe was so scared that he quickly looked around, fearing that someone would discover them.

"Hurry up and don't get discovered!" he reminded in a low voice.

Lu Xinyi also glanced around, keeping an eye on the patrol team's movements, and said quickly: "I need you to cooperate with me."

Ji Yunzhe did not hesitate at all and answered firmly: "Okay!"

……

The next day.

Around seven in the morning.

Lu Xinyi had just applied disguised lipstick on herself and Qin Jue and had a simple meal when a loud and clear voice came from outside the door.

"It's time to go to work! Come out and get to work!"

Starting work so early?

Is this Cheetah Base a survivor base or a prison?

With Qin Ju's support, the two went out together and saw a big-bodied, fat-headed and big-eared man walking around the shantytown with a loudspeaker.

Many people came out of the sheds one after another. Everyone had a blank and pale look on their face, looking lifeless.

But it's true, anyone who has to go to work at seven in the morning in the middle of winter will look dull and listless.

After walking around the shantytown, the fat man came in front of Lu Xinyi and the others.

"Are you the couple who came here yesterday?"

"Yes."

The fat man looked at the two of them, pointed at Lu Xinyi and said, "The base didn't assign you any heavy work because you're pregnant. Your job is to wash clothes in the laundry room in the villa area."

"Big brother..." Qin Ju just wanted to speak, but he saw Lu Xinyi gently tugging at his sleeve, so he had to swallow back the words.

The fat man glanced at him in dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "Why? Do you think this job is bad? Do you know how many people want to work in the villa area but can't? If she wasn't pregnant, the base wouldn't give her preferential treatment."

"Big brother, you misunderstood." Lu Xinyi put on a flattering look and explained, "Your arrangement is very good. I will definitely work hard!"

"That's good to know!" the fat man said, and arranged Qin Ju's work, "Your job is to follow the logging team to cut down trees and build huts."

"Big brother," Lu Xinyi asked, "don't we have earth-type psychics in our base? Why don't we allow earth-type psychics to build houses?"

"It's good enough that you have a shed to live in. Do you want an earth-type mutant to build you an earth-walled house?" the fat man said with disdain.

"Then we are also superpowers." Lu Xinyi said with a dissatisfied look, "I am a pregnant woman, I have no complaints about doing rough work, but my husband is a fire superpower, shouldn't he be given more important responsibilities?"

"Tsk, so what if you're a fire-type mutant?" The fat man looked Qin Ju up and down and said disdainfully, "Do you know how many mutants we have in our base? We now have over a thousand people in our base, and there are two to three hundred mutants alone! Why would the base use a new fire-type mutant like you?"

Lu Xinyi's eyes flashed with understanding, and he asked, "Do all these superpowers live in the villa area?"

"Of course, they are superpowers." The fat man said, "If you want to be valued and live in the villa area, you have to work hard to contribute to the base. Hurry and get to work!"

"...Yes." Lu Xinyi said, looked at Qin Ju, and followed the others to the villa area.
