"Damn it! Isn't anyone looking at her?!" Chen Xiaolian's face turned pale.

Hakiki's face was full of guilt and whispered: "I went into the training room for training for a while. I thought she would stay in her room... She hadn't walked around these days, so..."

Chen Xiaolian glanced at Hakiki, let out a sigh, and patted her on the shoulder: "Sorry, I'm a little too anxious. I can't blame you for this matter, and I didn't let you look at her specifically."

Hakiki whispered: "The two seniors, tires and spare tires, are not in the base. I, I should watch Xiuxiu more."

Chen Xiaolian took a look at the time and frowned and said, "Where is Xiao Lei?"

However, Hashiki was silent on this question.

Chen Xiaolian felt a little moved and sighed inwardly - obviously, the relationship between Hakishi and Xiao Lei was a little strange. Since the return of the copy of Jerusalem, the relationship has been very subtle and sensitive.

"Base central control! Call out the surveillance monitor! I want to know when Xiuxiu went out!" Chen Xiaolian shouted loudly.

Soon the base's central control GM answered: "Team member Xiuxiu, the time to leave is now about 119 minutes."

“Where did you go?”

"From the southwest of the island, where you know, the base does not cover too much surveillance around it. When she left the island for more than a certain distance, I couldn't monitor it. However, according to the location coordinates of the shuttle she was riding, she landed on the north side of Highway XX."

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "Where does that road lead to?"

"To the south is Jinling City. To the north, there are too many exits to analyze."

"Jinling City." Chen Xiaolian frowned and said, "She must have gone to the city."

A few seconds later, the base central control suddenly prompted: "The coordinates of the shuttle boat began to move. According to the surveillance on the boat, the passenger is a team member Xiuxiu, and the driving target is the base island. It can be confirmed that the member Xiuxiu is returning."

Chen Xiaolian was stunned: "Are you back?"

"Yes, I received a return signal from the shuttle boat 18 seconds ago."

Chen Xiaolian then sat down quietly, looked at Hatsuki next to him, and said warmly: "Okay, Hatsuki, go and do your business. I was in a bad mood just now and shouldn't have lost my temper with you. This matter is not your responsibility."

"Yes, leader." Hakiki looked down.

"Also, don't work too hard to train. Improvement of strength cannot be accomplished overnight." Chen Xiaolian glanced at the silent girl, but knew that such a thing might not play too much role.

Hakiki left silently, but still walked towards the training room.

Chen Xiaolian sighed.

A few minutes later, Xiuxiu returned to the base, and Chen Xiaolian waited in the hall. Seeing the entrance door open, Xiuxiu walked in from outside.

Xiuxiu's face was very calm, she looked at Chen Xiaolian head-on and said slowly: "Oba, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, can we talk?" Chen Xiaolian walked over and reached out to touch Xiuxiu's hair.

"What are you talking about?" Xiuxiu raised her head and faced Chen Xiaolian's eyes: "Do you talk about your sister's death?"

"..." Chen Xiaolian was speechless.

"I have accepted this fact in my heart." Xiuxiu shook her head: "So, there is no need to give me any more comfort. Besides, didn't Oppa say that my sister could be resurrected?"

Xiuxiu's words were so calm that she felt worried.

Chen Xiaolian squatted down and looked straight into Xiuxiu's eyes: "Who is the one who is talking to me now? Are you the usual you or..."

"Oba already has the answer in his heart, right? If it were me, I should be in the arms of Oppa now, so sad and painful, right?" Xiuxiu stared at Chen Xiaolian with her big eyes. However, the little girl's gaze was faintly heavy that Chen Xiaolian could not bear!

"So, does Oppa hope that I will disappear now and return to the usual me?" Xiuxiu continued: "Opa also likes the usual 'me' in his heart, right?"

"..." Chen Xiaolian couldn't speak anymore. He took a deep breath: "No matter what state you are, you are Xiuxiu, and I care the same. But... your current state is really not, no, will it cause any health damage to you?"

"At least I'm not heartbroken, hiding in the corner and crying." Xiuxiu said lightly, but reached out her hand. She had a plastic bag in her hand: "Here, I went out to buy some food."

“Eat?”

Chen Xiaolian took the plastic bag and found some dessert cakes that looked very good.

"Chocolate muffins, and tiramisu." Xiuxiu said slowly: "Eating sweets will make people feel more happy and relaxed. Although the food in the base is very nutritious, it tastes too bad. After all, I am a little girl, and children like sweets, right?"

Chen Xiaolian was a little dull.

But Xiuxiu took out a piece of tiramisu from the bag and handed it to Chen Xiaolian: "Opa should eat some too, this snack is delicious."

After saying that, Xiuxiu passed by Chen Xiaolian and walked towards her room.

After walking two steps, Xiuxiu suddenly stopped and looked back at Chen Xiaolian who was stunned: "Oba cares about me very much, and I am very happy. Also, you must eat snacks."

Xiuxiu pointed at her heart, and a very calm smile appeared on her face.

Then, she slowly walked back to her room.

Seeing Xiuxiu disappearing into the door, Chen Xiaolian lowered his head, looked at the tiramisu in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and took a breath.

Indeed, it's quite sweet.

...

Chen Xiaolian sat alone in the central rest area and sat for half an hour.

"This can't continue. The morale of the team is very bad. The negative impact of the copy of Jerusalem on the team is far more than Qiao Qiao's sacrifice. If you don't find a way to solve these hidden dangers, it will have great hidden dangers to the safety of the team in the future." Chen Xiaolian had already eaten all the tiramisu and sat there thinking hard.

In addition to Xiuxiu's problem, there seems to be a little bit wrong between the tires and spare tires - well, mainly tires.

And Roddy!

All these problems need to be solved!

Otherwise, the team will already show signs of splitting!

If the members of the team cannot give each other full and unreserved trust, then how can the team members trust and support each other when experiencing danger in the dungeon? How can they hand over their backs to their teammates during battle?

...

At night, the players who went out returned one after another.

The first person to come back was Xia Xiaolei. Xia Xiaolei went out to purchase daily necessities and food, and Chen Xiaolian did not say much to Xia Xiaolei.

Next comes tires and spare tires.

It was already midnight when the two brothers came back, and it could be seen that the tire looked a little tired.

"Are you gaining anything?"

In the central rest area, Chen Xiaolian and the two brothers, Tire spare tire, sat together.

The tire's voice was a little hoarse and he whispered: "The news is not very smooth. I contacted some acquaintances in the circle of awakened people I knew. The news in Zero City was cut off. This situation has begun to be transmitted in the circle of awakened people. Many awakened people who entered Zero City have lost contact and no one has come out."

"No." Chen Xiaolian frowned and said, "When evacuating Zero City, there were some outside awakened people in Zero City. After the battle, some survivors joined the evacuation team. I saw their transport aircraft safely leaving Zero City."

"Then there is only one answer: the awakened people who left are controlled." Tire said slowly: "This speculation is not difficult to conclude: after the team in Zero City left Zero City, according to normal practice, the first thing to do is to find a safe area to arrange strongholds, build a safe area and a temporary camp in this world. At the same time, because the forces of Zero City are in the weakest state, I guess the leaders must have made the order to cut off all communications. The outside awakened people who do not belong to Zero City must have been controlled in their team."

"You are Ruo, under house arrest?"

"Maybe that's the case. If I were the team leader, I would keep the communication off and ensure the safety of the team first. If the news of the fall of Zero City spreads out, let other awakened people in this world know that the men who were originally arrogant and now homeless in Zero City are now homeless. God knows if anyone will make up the problem. And... players are also a dangerous factor, so they are likely to have been hiding."

"Is there any change in public opinion now?"

"Not yet." Tire said slowly: "I have seen a few secret Internet communication platforms for awakened people. Now there are only some sporadic questions and have not yet formed a large-scale voice. After all, Zero City was originally mysterious. It is just that everyone has lost contact with some awakened people who should have left Zero City and returned to the world. This has caused questions from several teams, but it has not attracted attention. In addition, there are two small teams that should be part of the peripheral components of a team in Zero City. They revealed the news that they could not enter Zero City and could not get in touch... This topic has attracted the attention of some people, but the same is true, the momentum is not that big, but my speculation is that in two or three days, the news will probably become more and more intense."

"What else?"

"Also, on several platforms, some strange news appeared. I analyzed that it might be some special password codes." Tire said slowly: "My guess is that it may be some people from Zero City who were stranded in the outside world when the incident happened. Now they cannot return to Zero City and have lost contact, so they can only leave password code words through the awakened person's online platform, looking forward to contacting other members of Zero City. When I saw these messages, there were only a few scattered ones, but it is certain that some people must have contacted each other, but they did not spread the news to the level of ordinary awakened persons. These people acted very cautiously, and they deserved to be people from Zero City. They are very disciplined."

Tire said this and paused: "But no matter how low-key these people are, there will always be some smart people who can see some traces, so in at most two or three days, this news will usher in the first round of explosion."

"And." The spare tire suddenly interrupted: "You know, most of the foreign awakened people who are qualified to enter Zero City are backbones or elites in their respective teams. If, I mean, if, in the past two days, the system suddenly releases a large-scale copy and lets the awakened team enter the dungeon on a large scale...then the fun will be great! Many teams will face the absence of the main backbone members and are seriously uneven in strength, and are forced to be invested in the dungeon, then... the situation will further deteriorate, and perhaps the group of awakened people will usher in huge losses!"

"Yes, if those awakened people who evacuated from Zero City are temporarily placed under house arrest by Zero City's team, then once the system releases the dungeon and they are drawn by the dungeon... Zero City's team will face a dilemma: if you release someone, the news will leak! If you don't release someone... stopping these people from entering the dungeon is equivalent to murder!" Tire sighed.

Chen Xiaolian's face was gloomy.

He thought for a while: "So, how are you inquiring about another thing?"

The tire and the spare tire looked at each other, and the tire said, "Those lunatics in Jerusalem?"

"Yes."

The tire took a deep breath and flames gradually emerged from his eyes - it was the flame of hatred!

"I asked about the group of lunatics in Jerusalem. But many platforms cannot find accurate information about their activities. I asked some old friends who specialize in buying and selling intelligence, but the lunatics in Jerusalem are usually very low-key and rarely communicate with other teams, so they don't have much of their whereabouts. But..."

"But what?"

"I heard that after the last copy, the lunatics in Jerusalem temporarily entered silent mode, and they cut off all contact with the outside world, and these people seemed to be... missing."

"Hide?" Chen Xiaolian sneered.

"It's possible. Some people speculate that maybe they suffered a lot of losses in the last copy, so they hid."

"Is there any other news?"

"There is a valuable news that was obtained on a large Awakening Communication Platform." Tire said slowly: "The news is that it is this group of lunatics."

"oh?"

"To be precise, it was Mene, the leader of the Paladins of Jerusalem, the leader of the madman." Tire said in a deep voice: "He posted a message in his own name, with only one sentence."

"What did he say?"

"He said: I will definitely kill you next time."
