Ji Chenning stood up without looking back.

"Then do you know why you and I killed your brother? Because he was already dead at the time. He had no human life characteristics. He was a dead thing controlled by the zombie virus. He had completely lost his self-awareness and could no longer be called a 'human'."

"But, he is my brother after all..."

"Brother? What do you think they would do if I didn't kill him and brought him back to the Sky Eye Base? Those who saw zombies eating their loved ones to a bloody pulp, can they accept zombies being in the same space with them? Or do we have to use some strong means to make them accept it?"

Xi Xu didn't say anything, just stared at her.

Ji Chenning turned to see her still struggling in grief, and said, "In fact, you still haven't accepted his death. You think that even though he has become a zombie, he is still a human being. So you can't accept the base's large-scale elimination of zombies. But now is the end of the world, and you have to understand that 'humans' will not actively attack and eat their own kind."

Seeing that Xi Xu remained silent, Ji Chenning knew that he could not ask anything more. He raised his foot and was about to leave, but was stopped by her next words.

"Captain Ji, can the people you protect understand the efforts you have made for this base?"

"Does it matter? The actions taken by the base are far more than what is shown on the surface, and some people do not understand or agree with them either."

Ji Chenning smiled, as if mocking himself, "It's the same everywhere. How can there be a perfect Garden of Eden in the world? The current Sky Eye Base can be as stable as before the end of the world, and it is also constantly improving and rectifying. There are many people like you who don't understand the base's practices, but this can't affect or change anything. Most people in the Sky Eye Base are grateful. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand. Captain Ji, I, I'm sorry..." Xi Xu smiled faintly. It's not that she didn't understand, but she just didn't want to accept this cruel fact. "But I'm different from them. No matter before or now, I'm very grateful. Thank you for everything you've done."

She has also experienced the hardships of the defense team's operations, and every member of the defense team is doing her best to save every survivor.

Before this, Ji Chenning and his team had carried out countless rescue operations. The peaceful and stable life in the Sky Eye Base now was exchanged for the blood and sacrifice of the defense team.

How could she not cherish it? How could she not be grateful?

Now we are in the end times, there is no place that is absolutely peaceful and safe, and everything depends on their desperate protection.

Xi Xu looked at Ji Chenning. She was still as determined as before and had never changed her mind.

Perhaps this is the difference between her and Ji Chenning. She has never thought about other people's opinions and only sticks to her own direction.

Maybe Ji Chenning has been confused before, but her direction and determination to protect the Sky Eye Base have never changed.

"Your words are enough."

Ji Chenning nodded at her to show his understanding.

Xi Xu raised his head and looked at her. "In fact, Captain Ji, you already know the answer. You just want a definite answer, right? When Yin Zi came to me, I kept some of the medicine for the experiment. I hope it can be helpful to you."

As she spoke, she handed the remaining reagent that she had been carrying with her to Rong Yunluo, who had remained silent. Xi Xu knew that if Ji Chenning did not trust him 100%, she would never have kept him in this box.

Although he had not spoken a word, her intuition told her that this person was Dr. Rong, the big shot who had come to the base some time ago.

"Thanks for your trust."

Rong Yunqi took it and nodded slightly.
