Amin's smile froze slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and said:
"In order to maintain the normal operation of the base, Boss Chen sometimes has to take some extreme measures. When encountering survivors who are unwilling to obey his management, Boss Chen will not be merciful and will directly expel them from the base. As you know, being expelled is basically equivalent to handing your life over to the zombies."
Lu Jingcheng looked solemn, his eyes locked on A-Ming, and asked:
"Besides this, are there any other special circumstances in the base?"
Amin subconsciously looked around cautiously and saw that no one around was paying attention to their conversation.
However, he should not have revealed the secrets of the base so easily. It was just that at this moment, Li Luo had silently used his psychic powers. Strands of invisible mental fluctuations wrapped around Amin's consciousness like silk threads, slightly affecting his will.
Under the influence of this subtle force, Amin answered every question as if he was possessed. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"You just need to know about this, but don't spread it. I heard that some of the basements in our base are holding some infected survivors. Boss Chen has been trying to find a way to fight the zombie virus from them, and has conducted a lot of experiments for this purpose. But most of those experiments ended in failure, and those poor people who were infected eventually died in endless pain."
As soon as he said this, Amin actually had a hint of doubt in his mind. He didn't understand why he would tell such a confidential matter to a few strangers he had just met.
But before he could think about it carefully, Li Luo's subtle mental influence quietly took effect again, making his thoughts chaotic.
Although Amin vaguely felt that he had said something he shouldn't have, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"But no matter what, in this end times, having such a relatively safe place for everyone to survive is already a luxury. Therefore, everyone is still full of awe and gratitude towards Boss Chen."
After listening to Amin's story, everyone exchanged glances with different expressions. Their understanding of this base in their hearts became more and more complicated, like tangled silk threads.
Lu Jingcheng knew clearly that they were only staying here for one night, and if he intervened too much in the affairs of the base, he would probably cause trouble for no reason.
Subconsciously, he glanced sideways at Li Luo, and their eyes met. In an instant, without words, they understood each other's thoughts.
Li Luo blinked lightly. This subtle movement was like a secret signal, as if saying "be careful and don't stay too long".
Understanding Li Luo's meaning, Lu Jingcheng suppressed the urge to continue asking questions.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Amin casually, and then changed the subject naturally:
"By the way, Amin, we want to find a place to stay, do you have any good suggestions?"
Amin's face immediately bloomed with that enthusiastic smile again, like a flower tenaciously blooming in the end times, and was not affected by the solemn atmosphere just now.
He said enthusiastically:
"Of course there is. There is a hotel not far ahead. Although the conditions are not comparable to those before the apocalypse, it is well-known for being clean and safe in our base. The price is also very reasonable. You can exchange some practical supplies for a place to stay."
So everyone followed Amin and moved forward.
There were quite a few people in the group, and their steps were neat but alert, making them particularly eye-catching on the streets of the base.
Wherever they passed, people around them cast inquiring glances at them, those glances were mixed with curiosity, doubt, and the vigilance unique to the end of the world.
After all, in this crisis-ridden world, any unfamiliar group may bring unknown variables.
Amin didn't seem to care about the looks at all. He was like a fish swimming in familiar waters, comfortable and enthusiastic.
