The man covered his abdomen with his hands, and sticky, warm blood seemed to be constantly flowing out of the wound.

Gu Tongwan still maintained the same posture, leaning slightly closer, sneering, "A three-edged military bayonet. When pulled out, the wound is square. The blade has grooves for bleeding. I got it outside the base with great difficulty. Recently, I also said that this knife was a little dull. Now it is better. It just happens that your blood can moisten it."

The face in the flowered shirt looked hopelessly pale under the light, his mouth trembling as it moved up and down. He stared blankly at the trace of surging madness in the depths of the other's clear eyes.

The sudden growl drew everyone's attention to the two beasts, one black and one white, that were marching out of the shadows with powerful steps.

It looks like a giant wolf, with a back more than one meter high and a body length of up to two meters. The fangs exposed at the corners of its mouth gleam in the moonlight, and its eyes have strange dark blue waves rolling around. The closer you get to it, the creepier it becomes.

One black and one white, they were like guard dogs from hell, staring straight at the group of people in flowered shirts.

Xiaoli's body was trembling, and she leaned on the proprietress. The chef in the kitchen also put down the spatula in his hand instantly, frowned, and quietly stepped back several steps, as if this could get a little further away from the two giant wolves.

Everyone saw the two giant wolves walk to the side of the woman and then remain motionless, but their eyes are still fierce, as if they would pounce on her and tear her into pieces if she made the slightest move.

Gu Tongwan was still holding the handle of the three-edged bayonet in his hand, and his palm was wet with the man's blood.

The man in the flowered shirt dared not move at all. The pain in his abdomen was now infinitely amplified. He felt that he could faint at any time, but his mind still retained a last bit of clarity. This feeling of being worse than death continued to torture him.

It's not like he hasn't seen ruthless people before, but for some reason, he sensed a different kind of madness in this woman.

There are many crazy people in the apocalypse, but crazy people with rationality are chilling.

"Are you still sane? Isn't it painful enough?" A sneer sounded softly in front of him.

"Pfft!"

Before the man could come to his senses, he felt a heat in his abdomen and blood gushed out from his fingertips.

The man's pupils suddenly contracted, and what came into his eyes was the woman's still cold, brown pupils.

Gu Tongwan shook off the blood in his hand and looked at the proprietress who was frowning with a look of horror.

"Aunt Man, what does it mean to kill someone in the base?"

Aunt Man was initially surprised that Gu Tongwan asked such a question, but then she looked at the people lying on the ground, and suddenly a chill came over her heart.

But he had seen a lot of storms, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to open this guesthouse in the base. After calming down a little, he frowned and said, "Whether it's manslaughter or intentional homicide, they will be expelled according to the base's regulations, but..." His eyes fell coldly on the people on the ground, and he continued coldly, "Intentional injury will only be investigated. If the injury is caused by legitimate defense, it will not be investigated. Instead, the troublemaker will be punished. Normally, the troublemaker needs to pay a huge fine, but the Self-Defense Force will take away those who have no money. However, there are not so many places in the prison, so they will basically be arranged by the base to carry out underground city projects, which can be as light as one month, or as heavy as three months to half a year."

The so-called "underground city" is the last Noah's Ark left by the base for mankind. It is to build another "apocalyptic city" under the base, covering an area almost equal to two-thirds of the current base area.

This project started half a year ago. More than 5,000 people have been involved in the project. However, there is still a shortage of heavy manual workers. This is mainly because the air is suffocating and there are certain risks in working in the underground city. There are mutated insects hidden underground. Several accidents that broke out before were caused by mutated black scorpions lurking underground.

Secondly, working in the dungeon is the cheapest type of job, with an average daily salary of only ten points, but the working hours are as long as twelve hours. Therefore, in the early days many people only worked for a few days before running back.

If life didn't force them to find a more suitable job in the base, a normal person would definitely not want to go down to the dungeon.

According to the current rules of the base mentioned by Aunt Man, basically all serious criminals will be escorted to the underground city to perform compulsory labor. This can not only alleviate the shortage of personnel, but also help these prisoners eliminate their desire to commit crimes.

Gu Tongwan nodded, and quickly made a decision in her mind, and said to the boss lady, "Auntie Man, can you please find someone to go to the Security Bureau to call the police?"

Aunt Man then revealed a slight smile, but her gaze towards the people in flowered shirts remained cold.

"I've just been notified that a waiter has come over here, and he should be here soon."

Gu Tongwan was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Aunt Man lower her head and straighten the corner of her clothes, he understood. He didn't expect that Aunt Man had deliberately quarreled with the other party just to divert the other party's attention, and even winked at Xiaoli just to show it to the other party.

Suddenly there was a loud sound of footsteps outside. The Self-Defense Force came very quickly, and it just so happened that the waiter met the patrol team when he turned a corner after going out.

There were a total of eight patrolling Self-Defense Force members. After entering the yard, they were stunned when they saw several people lying on the ground wailing.

Not only that, there were two dogs lying on the ground in the yard licking their paws.

Before the man in the flowered shirt and the others could speak, the lady boss shouted, "You finally came. These guys on the ground came to rob us. We are just fighting back in self-defense."

He opened his mouth on the ground, but after stammering for a long time, he had difficulty breathing due to the pain from the wound. The man in the flowered shirt could only stare with tears in his eyes at the women in front of him who were blaming him.

The person who was covering his ears nearby was furious and shocked when he heard this. He just cried out, "Comrade Soldier, this is not the case. This is a scam, a scam!"

As soon as the man finished yelling, he noticed a pair of short boots appear in front of him. He looked up and saw a soldier of the Self-Defense Force with a look of understanding on his face.

"Tsk, it's you again, kid? Wasn't someone reporting you for bullying a girl a few days ago?" As the words fell, the Self-Defense Forces pressed their sticks against the man's neck and shouted, "Don't move. If you move again, I'll kill you on the spot, little bastard. Be quiet!"

Most of the people in the Self-Defense Force were soldiers in the army before the end of the world. They have always hated such criminals. So they immediately asked the proprietress about the details, and from time to time they looked at Gu Tongwan who was petting the dog on the side.

Gu Tongwan had washed the blood stains on his hands with water, but he still felt a faint smell of blood on his palms. Xiaoli at the side considerately handed him a small piece of soapberry, which was about the size of a baby's fist.

"Wash with this."

Gu Tongwan saw a faint glimmer in Xiaoli's eyes, which was unclear whether it was admiration or longing.

"Thank you." Gu Tongwan said with a smile.

Even though this is just a small piece of soapberry, it can be sold for at least 30 points at the supply and marketing cooperative. The current production volume of daily chemical products is small, so they are always snapped up as soon as the supply and marketing cooperative restocks them. Xiaoli bought this small half piece with the snacks she saved for a week.

Gu Tongwan also made a brief confession on the spot about what happened tonight, but no case was filed for investigation. In the end, they were arrested on the grounds of criminal activities of this group of hooligans who were disturbing public order. According to the team leader, these people may be sentenced to two months of transformation in the underground city.

After this incident, Gu Tongwan took a yellow crystal core from the house the next day and went to find the proprietress. After what happened last night, she learned that the proprietress was harassed by the group of people because she was guarding the car for her. In addition, she also revealed her skills yesterday, so she thought about it and decided that this was the most suitable thing she could give as a gift.

The lady boss was startled when she saw the yellow crystal core. She immediately pulled Gu Tongwan into the cashier counter and threw the crystal core directly into the drawer. After looking around and finding no one around, she whispered, "You can't just take this thing out casually. It will attract attention."

Gu Tongwan was about to speak when Xiaoli, who had just returned from shopping, wiped her sweat and happened to see the screen on the TV in the hall. Her eyes lit up and she raised her chin and said, "Aunt Man, your favorite little fresh meat hunter is here!"

Aunt Man glared at her niece who didn't know how to read the atmosphere, then turned around to continue talking to Gu Tongwan, only to find that she was looking up at this moment, and there was suddenly a hint of sneer in her cold eyes.

The host on TV was questioning one of the hunters at an outdoor competition.

"Zhang Heng, you know that you are now the most famous rising star in the base. Are you ready for the hunting competition next week?"

Gu Tongwan squinted her eyes, looking at the handsome and gentle man on the screen, but she was thinking in her heart: The world is so small, I can still meet my ex, and he is not dead yet?
