The investigation was completed quite quickly, but there was nothing unusual found nearby.

After the professionals arrived, the 3A team was free to leave, though they were still a bit concerned.

Chen Xiaofei glanced at the police cars behind them, their red and blue lights flashing continuously, and couldn’t help but say, “It’s really scary. We don’t know what did it. If it’s a monster, I’m not afraid; we can handle it. But if it’s one of our own from the base… that’s what’s truly terrifying. People’s hearts are unpredictable.”

This was indeed a valid point.

Wang Weihua’s expression was also serious. “From now on, everyone needs to be careful when going out. Don’t wander off alone.”

Whether it was due to unstable people or strange creatures appearing at the base, it was unsafe.

Qin Luo nodded and said, “Yeah, we’ll all watch out for each other and stay safe.”

While saying this, he kept an eye on Xu Duoduo, worried for her safety.

Xu Duoduo was clutching his sleeve, still looking back at the crowd, as the onlookers had been dispersed.

Qin Luo pulled her into his arms, saying, “Don’t look anymore. Let’s go back and rest. We’ll get the official report soon.”

If she wanted to know the result, the official forum would have the information. This whole incident had left everyone feeling uneasy.

They returned to the supernatural being district, where the mutants had already cleared the snow, and the area looked comfortable. They took the elevator to the 19th floor.

Xu Duoduo entered her room, and Qin Luo silently followed her in. Chen Xiaofei and the others also came in. Everyone quietly sat down on the carpet.

Shi Shi looked back and saw them, but didn’t ask them to leave.

She was used to it.

When 3A wasn’t on duty, they seemed to always enjoy huddling together.

Xu Duoduo took out a lot of snacks and placed them on the coffee table, along with drinks. She even got some beer for Wang Weihua, thinking that if everyone was in a bad mood, eating snacks and drinking their favorite drinks would help.

Wang Weihua felt a bit overwhelmed and said, “Thank you, Squad Leader.”

Chen Xiaofei wasn’t shy about it and shouted out for octopus balls, saying, “Squad Leader, I want some too!”

Xu Duoduo smiled and placed two or three boxes down, which made Chen Xiaofei beam, repeatedly thanking her, “Squad Leader, you’re the best! Ah, in these times when food is getting scarce, we’re still able to eat like this. It’s really a blessing!”

After all, they had risked their lives to collect the food, so eating it felt less stressful.

Xu Duoduo encouraged them to eat.

Bai Shu raised his hand to request squid strips and beef jerky, saying that chewing on them would help relieve stress, “So, beautiful and generous Squad Leader, may I have them?”

Xu Duoduo quickly took them out and placed them on the table, earning his thanks.

Qin Luo sat obediently on the carpet, watching the three of them shamelessly begging for food, and couldn’t help but say, “Hey, hey, hey! When did you all get so sweet-talking? Are you trying to spoil my wife? How am I supposed to perform with you two around?”

The big dog Qin was upset.

When Xu Duoduo went to change, she gently patted Qin Luo’s head, comforting him.

At first, Qin Luo was quite happy. His wife was patting his head.

Until Chen Xiaofei, while eating octopus balls, laughed out loud, “Look, Squad Leader patted Qin Ge’s head like she’s patting a dog, and Qin Ge is still so happy about it.”

Bai Shu, while opening a packet of squid strips, also laughed, and concluded, “Love-struck brain, no saving him, just bury him.”

Qin Luo blushed and didn’t say anything, but he yelled at the two of them, “You can call me a dog? I’m a wolf! A wolf! I think you two are the dogs!”

Two single dogs!

Chen Xiaofei nodded, “Yes, yes, only Squad Leader can call you Big Dog~”

Bai Shu adjusted his glasses and said, “Yeah, only Squad Leader can say it~”

The two of them laughed, their heads bent.

Qin Luo couldn’t take it anymore and directly pulled one of them over and started hitting them!!

The three of them fought like children.

Rolling into a ball.

Pulling faces, kicking legs, using scissor kicks.

So childish.

Wang Weihua couldn’t watch anymore. He didn’t know anything about it, just happily eating peanuts with his beer. It was great! But he didn’t dare to smoke near the Squad Leader.

Otherwise, he’d light another one—life was good!

When Xu Duoduo came out after changing, she saw the three of them sitting on the carpet, their hair messy, surrounded by the coffee table, talking seriously.

Shi Shi: ????

Xu Duoduo sat down beside Qin Luo, and Qin Luo immediately leaned against her, his tall frame still whining like a puppy, rubbing his head against her shoulder, “Wife, they’re bullying me!! They don’t respect me as the team leader!”

Team Leader Qin was offline, and now Qin Big Dog Qin was being pampered.

Xu Duoduo asked him, “Did you fight?”

Qin Luo quickly said, “No!”

Xu Duoduo gave him a suspicious look, glancing at his messy hair, then at Chen Xiaofei’s red face and Bai Shu’s broken glasses, and finally concluded, “You did fight, you big baby.”

Qin Luo felt a little embarrassed and muttered, “They were making fun of me first.”

Chen Xiaofei and Bai Shu both turned to look at their team leader, this guy really had no shame just to pamper Squad Leader!

Disgusting!

But they still needed to check the forum. It was study time.

They browsed the latest posts in the “Information Section” on the forum, reading about newly discovered mutated creatures and plants, along with their weaknesses.

Qin Luo read a post from M City, “There are a lot of mutated rabbits in the grasslands. How did they become so widespread? I heard they’ve attacked the M City base several times.”

Chen Xiaofei saw it too, munching on a cookie, “Hmm, mutant rabbits the size of little kids. They look so scary. At least the rabbits in our base are cute, it’s really true what they say—people look like their hearts!”

Xu Duoduo felt sick after seeing the mutated rabbits, which were as tall as adults, with grotesquely twisted faces.

They were definitely not cute.

Their two long rabbit teeth seemed like they could pierce through a person. Terrifying.

Wang Weihua also saw the post, “The weak spots of the mutated rabbits in the grasslands are their neck, chest, and abdomen. Their back fur is very tough, so the weak spot is on the abdomen.”

Bai Shu was more focused on the lizardmen, since these creatures had caused so many deaths among supernatural beings. He specialized in researching them, “The weak spot of the lizardmen is at the base of their tails. Cutting off their tails reduces their attack power by half because their tails are their main weapon. They’re cold-blooded, have strong night vision, and prefer to be active at night.”

They also liked to live in groups.

Xu Duoduo noticed another issue—most of the mutated creatures were deformed and unattractive, including the lizardmen, who looked eerily human, which made her feel uneasy.

It was a strange and terrifying sensation.
