o a zombie. You two stay here for now, I'm across the street. If anything happens, I'll find you."Thank you, Lian Yi Jie!Sun Wang immediately replied, and then the two siblings went into the room.Ripp...The man's face contorted, his expression a mixture of confusion and disgust as he struggled to swallow the words. "What do you mean" he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.

"Aren't you guys the ones who issued a notice about mutated rats carrying viruses"

“It’s carrying the virus! Can you still be fooled by this That’s why the government has to replace them uniformly and process them in a centralized manner. After high-temperature sterilization, it can be made into edible meat patties. You can eat the processed meat with confidence. If there were any problems, I wouldn’t dare give it to you.”

The staff member explained nonchalantly.

Then the man swallowed the mouthful of meat and spoke truthfully:

"It doesn't have much strange taste, it's quite chewy, not bad!"

"It's good enough to have something to eat, why be so picky! What's the matter with you these days!"

"Hey buddy, could you pick up my relief rations for me Can you exchange them all for these meat patties Meat keeps hunger at bay!" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

A slender man behind him immediately stepped forward and said loudly.

"This time it's not possible, the first batch produced wasn't much, so it was distributed with food. There should be no problem next month."

The staff patiently explained.

"Alright, please get it for me."

The man took out his household registration book and ID card, then received this week's relief rations. The mutated rat meat patties in his hand, he immediately ate them all, and after finishing, he licked his lips.

Finally, I got to eat meat!

Because of the appearance of mutated rat meat, the survivors in Chimu City got some relief.

Subsequently, the base issued an announcement to recruit personnel from the survivors. After the stagnant water in the city evaporated, they began processing the entire city's garbage. The highest rewards were given to the corpse disposal team and security patrol officers, with a monthly allowance of fifteen kilograms of food and mutated rat meat patties. Many people applied, but only a few were accepted.

As for the corpse collection team, I won't even mention them; it's a high-risk profession. Dealing with corpses, if you're not careful, you could be infected yourself. So what they need are young people with good physical strength and immunity. However, after half a year of continuous natural disasters, how many strong people can there possibly be They can only pick the best among the mediocre.

As for the security patrol team, that requires some skills. Otherwise, before you can apprehend those who disrupt order, you might end up being beaten yourself. How can you maintain law and order then

Before the security patrol team was fully assembled, some military and police personnel were temporarily dispatched to fill in, including the Vanguard Squad. However, since they had higher combat strength and were equipped with thermal weapons, the nine of them were divided into two groups, still staying with their familiar comrades. Ripple couldn't shirk her duty and was forced to join Cyclone on duty.

However, due to the sustained extreme heat, even at midday when it was hottest and barely a soul was visible, they could still rest. They would generally only patrol the city, which looked like a ruin, after 5 PM when the temperature dropped slightly. However, their main focus was on areas where survivors had gathered.

After fully equipping herself, Lian Yi walked at the end of the line wearing cool sunglasses. She looked like she was just here to goof off because Yuan Chongming and his group seemed much tougher than her.

For some unkind gazes, ripples just ignored them all, there was nothing they could do to her anyway.

This day, the patrol team was halfway through their patrol and preparing to find a place to rest when they were met by a group of people whose target was Ripple.

Ripple pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at the man at the front, waiting for them to speak first.

"Hello, is this Miss Yu Lianyi"

The man speaking was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black slacks. He had glasses perched on his nose, fair skin, and clearly didn't look like someone who worked outdoors for a living.

"Are you there Is anything the matter"

"That's right, I'm a researcher at the research institute. There's a favor to ask."

The man spoke in an official tone.

Then just don't speak.

The ripples spoke directly.

"

The man was choked and could only awkwardly push his glasses up before speaking.

"Concerning the survival of mankind"

Don't sugarcoat it, just get to the point. Spit it out!

Liàn Yī doesn't buy it and says directly, arms crossed.

"Cough, your mutated cat."

The man was pushed to the brink. He could only get straight to the point.

"No need to talk."

Her lips curled down into a cold sneer.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, how come Ms. Yu just refused"

The man said in disbelief.

"The genetically modified mice you're researching were brought back by me. Now you're eyeing my Storm as well. Do you think I'd sacrifice my companion for your dissection"

"Meow!" the whirlwind exclaimed, then glared at the man with ill intent, even baring its teeth.

'Humph! There's always some bad guy who wants to harm it! Still, the cat master is powerful!'

"No, you misunderstand. We won't hurt it, we just want to borrow it for a while to collect some data."

The man, forcing down his anger, patiently explained as best he could.

"Are you taking me for a fool You borrow How do you collect data It must be during whirlwind attacks and battles, drawing some blood, plucking some hair, that's all child's play. What other methods are there Clicking Making it fight with the mutant rat"

Ripples said, her face cold.

"Not either"

The man wanted to explain, but he was interrupted again after just three words.

"I refuse, please leave!"

"You're being utterly unreasonable. For the sake of those who survive, some sacrifices are inevitable."

The man's voice rose several octaves, attracting a lot of attention.

"Then why don't you sacrifice yourself It's because the board didn't fall on you. Go away! I made my meaning very clear, don't bother me anymore."

The ripples waved their hand.

The man was very unwilling, and directly beckoned to the person behind him, as if he was going to forcefully take away the whirlwind.

Now not only is the whirlwind furious, but even Ripples' face has darkened. Does she want to fight She dares not make a move against her!

"Whirlwind!"

Ripple greeted directly.

The whirlwind "Meow"ed and leapt directly from its master's shoulder, aiming for the man at the front. This guy had been chattering away for ages, all he wanted was to grab it and dissect it, determined to get his hands on it.

The man behind him rushed over, but before he could even make a move, he was bound by the ripple's deadly silk. He writhed on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.

"Oh! Get away! Get away! Help!"

The ferocious whirlwind had already knocked the man to the ground. Its claws, gleaming with cold light, struck his face, leaving bloody prints. He was wailing in pain and begging for mercy.

Yuan Chongming then stepped forward and said to the few people writhing on the ground:

Tell your leader that our vanguard squad is not to be trifled with. This time, you were just carrying out a mission, and I won't make things difficult for you, but I hope there won't be a next time!

My teammate expressed their meaning very clearly, letting them find a different research subject.

"We know!"

The bound person is also helpless, who told them to be sent by their superiors to protect this fool, and they still want to morally kidnap others, but in the end, others don't buy it.

"Wind, come back!"

Ripples watched the whirlwind run out of steam and called out directly.

"Meow!" What a loser! cleared the table, washing and drying all the dishes before placing them back in the cupboard. She then rejoined her family in the main room."Ripples, about being a maidservant for Miss Dong's dowry....
