Chapter Summary
This was actually a very foolish act, as she knew that angering these soldiers at this moment would not end well for her, but Leng Wuxue simply couldn't hold back. If you don't go, I can invoke wartime regulations to have you shot." The officer grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slapped the protein block out of Leng Wuxue's hand.

Leng Wuxue was inherently very resilient and rarely admitted defeat. Seeing the officer's attitude, Leng Wuxue ate her egg white while giving him a disdainful look. This was actually a very foolish act, as she knew that angering these soldiers at this moment would not end well for her, but Leng Wuxue simply couldn't hold back.
The officer was furious, feeling utterly powerless. He had just declared his rights in front of everyone, only to be looked down upon by a mere girl. Moreover, this girl had openly despised him. How could he possibly maintain any authority here after this?
"Get out of here, you damn bastard, you're just asking for trouble. From now on, you're going to join the labor force over there and transport things up the city wall every day. If you don't go, I can invoke wartime regulations to have you shot."
The officer grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slapped the protein block out of Leng Wuxue's hand. He then pointed at the people working not far away and said, "Now you don't even have this to eat. Let's see what you have to brag about next."
Leng Wuxue was usually quite popular in the research institute, with many tall and strong researchers confessing their feelings to him. But now, these people seemed not to hear him. Nobody was stupid; at this moment, everyone was looking out for themselves. So-called love was shattered countless times in this instant.
Moreover, judging from the officer's actions, if they dared to stand up and stop him, he would definitely not let them eat. If that happened, they wouldn't even have the strength to escape. At this point, everyone knew that their heads were not in danger. The most important thing was their physical strength. Once the city wall was breached, if you didn't have any strength, you could only wait to die. If you had a little strength, there was still hope of escaping. Therefore, the protein block had to be preserved.
"Join me if you want, and see what you can do to me then?"
Leng Wuxue said proudly, "This girl never admits defeat, and even at this moment she must maintain her dignity."
Enraged, the officer raised the butt of his rifle. Even if you're beautiful, it's useless at this moment. Besides, there are several other female scientists, and they're not necessarily any less capable than you. To maintain his authority, he has to use you as a scapegoat, to show everyone what happens when you resist. In this hall, my words are law.
"Which of you is Leng Wuxue?"
Just then, the gate was opened. The officer turned around in annoyance, ready to curse, but he saw his superior officer and several other soldiers. Judging from their uniforms, they were not from this city. Could they have come from somewhere else?
“I am Leng Wuxue. What else do you want to do? I’m not eating anything anymore. Are you going to drag me out and shoot me now? Is this what you so-called soldiers should do? It disgusts me.”
Leng Wuxue was confused about what was going on with these people. They started cursing right away. Liu Ning and Jinzi exchanged glances, both bewildered. Did they know each other before? But they had never had any interaction with this girl before. Why were they acting like this from the start?
The officer next to him looked embarrassed, unsure how to explain the situation. Although Liu Ning had spoken impressively, the officer could sense that Liu Ning was a powerful figure.
“I don’t know why you’re treating us like this, but please leave with us immediately. This is an order from the Central Base City. The army is already assembling outside the city. You have special knowledge of this city, so we hope you can lead the way and save everyone here.”
With so many people watching Liu Ning, he couldn't reveal the real reason, so he could only make up a lie. Leng Wuxue looked somewhat surprised. What research did she have on this city? She had been researching laser cannons. However, seeing Liu Ning blink, Leng Wuxue didn't say anything.
“I no longer trust your army, especially this gentleman next to me.”
The officer's heart skipped a beat. What was bound to happen had finally happened. He had originally thought that Leng Wuxue wouldn't hold it against him and that the matter would be over. Who knew that this girl was still holding a grudge? Saying that was clearly not giving him any way out.
Liu Ning and Jinzi noticed the officer beside them, who slowly placed his hand on his holster. If anything happened, he would not hesitate to shoot. This was the apocalypse, and there were no laws to restrain them. The soldiers around them were not to be trifled with; they were all loyal followers of this officer. Seeing the officer's actions, they silently raised their guns as well. If a conflict broke out, Liu Ning and his group would not come out on top.
Are you sure you had an unpleasant encounter with this officer?
Liu Ning took a step forward and looked at Leng Wuxue beside him.
These men were all loaded with bullets. If Leng Wuxue said anything detrimental to the officers, they would definitely open fire. Liu Ning was also a little nervous at this moment. Although Liu Ning was not afraid of these men, he had to ensure that Leng Wuxue was unharmed.
Leng Wuxue glanced at her colleagues, shook her head, and then walked towards the main entrance first. Leng Wuxue's choice was very wise; she did not escalate the situation. If the situation had escalated, none of them would have fared well, especially the scientists, who might have been killed by stray bullets.
The people around were also puzzled; they were all Leng Wuxue's colleagues.
I've never heard of this girl having any knowledge of cities before, so why was she chosen as our guide? Some people couldn't figure this out, so they simply stopped thinking about it. After all, their bodies were too weak, and they didn't even have enough food, so what was the point of thinking about this?
But some people quickly realized that they were all decoys. What the higher-ups really needed was Leng Wuxue, but they didn't dare to say it. They knew that the soldiers wouldn't let them leave alive. If they dared to speak, they probably wouldn't even have a few days left. They should just stay put and wait.
Leng Wuxue and Liu Ning left the hall one after the other.
