Fang Zhou, how did they see me?

Although there is not much food.

But Alina was quite fair in arranging food rations for everyone. There was no question of who got more or less; everyone got the same.

Alina sighed silently.

She walked up to a few people, bent down slightly, and spoke in a calm and gentle voice, which made people feel very comfortable.

"I know, and I understand, but there's only so much food right now. The environment we live in makes it difficult for us to get more. I promise, I will definitely try my best to find a way to make sure everyone has enough to eat."

"However, during this period, please be patient for a moment, okay?"

Alina's gentle voice seemed to have some special magic in it, which calmed down the angry people around her, including those who tried to steal food.

They looked at each other.

The thin man in the lead looked around, looked at the others with efforts in their eyes, and then glanced at the burly shield guard. He seemed to understand, gave in, and nodded.

"I know I was wrong. I was just too hungry for a moment and got possessed by a ghost..."

Someone takes the lead.

Others also bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

Alina said with a smile.

"I understand."

"You guys go back~"

"We promise that we will definitely work hard to find a way to make everyone's life better so that everyone can live a peaceful life."

Alina's words calmed down many of the infected compatriots who were gathered around and had other emotions.

Their lives are hard.

But there is hope in the suffering.

There is someone who truly thinks of everyone.

Everyone has a lot of motivation even if they are hungry.

The theft was resolved with Alina's assurance.

Everyone dispersed and went back to their own places to rest.

These people who tried to steal food were not punished at all and they returned to their homes together.

however.

When there is no one around.

The apologetic expressions on the four people's faces gradually disappeared, and only strong dissatisfaction and unhappiness remained.

"Oh shit!!"

"And he's trying hard to give us a good life!"

"When will we finally have a good day?! I'm always on edge here, worried about the infected patrols, hungry, and cold. I'm such a big target, I won't be able to run away if I'm discovered."

"Just some nice words..."

"From what I see, I estimate that a lot of the food has been eaten by those people at the top or by those shield guards. Those shield guards are tall and strong, and they are responsible for protecting us. They look so impressive. They must be eating extra food just to see it!"

The thin infected person with shifty eyes among the group said angrily.

But after he finished speaking, he looked around cautiously, fearing that other people might have heard him.

"that is!"

Some people around him also echoed him.

"The last time I was moving things, I happened to see this group of shield guards secretly barbecuing in the distance. Wow! What a big fat beast, sizzling with oil. They were eating it with such relish. But what about us? We can't even be full after eating this all day!"

"Damn, that's not fair!!!"

"That's right!!"

"I've thought it all out!"

The shifty-eyed infected person said, "Let's get out of here! I heard there's another infected gathering place dozens of kilometers away from us, but their lives there are much more comfortable than here, and they can eat their fill every day."

"Should we go over there?!"

The others' eyes lit up.

"Can!!"

But another person asked cautiously: "But... we have already joined the Reunion Movement. Does this count as defection?"

"Look at you, be careful."

"Does this Reunion Movement look like a legitimate organization?"

"Several of them ran away not long ago, and no one chased them. I guess they don't care at all."

"it is good!!"

"let's go!!"

Done.

Several people immediately set off and prepared to escape.

And at this time.

In the center of the village.

Alina thought for a moment and said, "Xiaota, I'm going to go to a village farther away this afternoon to exchange some food. We really don't have much food right now. If we keep going like this, we'll run out sooner or later."

When Tallulah heard this, she immediately shook her head.

"This is too dangerous, Alina."

"Now is the time when the infected patrol teams appear..."

"No~"

Alina smiled and shook her head.

"Do not worry."

"This isn't my first time, and I already have my own set of experience. Besides, if I act alone, my target will be smaller, and the risk of being exposed is also smaller. What do you think?"

Seeing that Tallulah was unwilling to agree.

Alina placed her hand on Tallulah's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Xiaota, please trust me, okay?"

After thinking for several minutes.

Tallulah then reluctantly nodded.

"Alina, be careful..."

"Ok!"

"Do not worry!!"

Subsequently.

Alina got up early.

In the remote village of Ursus, due to productivity issues, there is no free trade market, and it is very normal for many people to barter in order to make a living.

and so.

Alina could go to different villages to exchange food without arousing anyone's suspicion.

And after Alina left the Integration Movement.

Another group of four people who attempted to steal food also quietly left the Integration Movement's base.

As soon as he left, he ran for two or three kilometers before stopping, fearing that the people from the Integration Movement would catch up with him.

"Finally ran out!"

"This way!"

“I remember hearing it was right here.”

The other three also started grinning.

In their view, escaping from the Integration Movement was like escaping from a devil's den, which made them feel relieved.

As for what the other party said about another infected base with abundant resources, I believed it completely.

The four of them walked cautiously on the snowfield.

Instead of taking the main road where there is no snow, take the remote areas and avoid any danger as much as possible.

Lucky.

along the way.

The four of them did not encounter any danger and continued walking like this for two or three hours.

The four of them were getting further and further away from the Integration Movement's base.

Faintly.

The four of them could already see the outline of a small settlement in the distance.

“It’s right in front!!”

The thin man said excitedly.

The three people around him were equally excited.

And just when they were about to arrive at the base.

suddenly.

A group of people appeared from both sides and blocked the way for the four of them.

The sudden appearance of a group of people scared the four people.

When they looked closely at their clothes, they were even more frightened.

Because that is the uniform of the infected patrol.

"who!"

The person who seemed to be the captain in the lead immediately shouted harshly.

"us!!"

They had never expected that they would actually run into the infected patrol team on the way. They were so scared that they were trembling all over and their minds were blank.

For a moment, I couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Infected person?"

The captain of the infected patrol team saw the trembling and fear of these people at a glance. In addition, these people were dressed in rags, had dark complexions, and were obviously malnourished, so he didn't even need to think about it.

"we are not!"

"We are not infected!! We are just ordinary villagers from the nearby village!!"

The infected person with shifty eyes defended himself.

However, to the ears of the infected patrol, these excuses sounded no different from the chirping of poultry, and were of no use other than being annoying.

"You villagers, you are obviously infected, otherwise how could you find yourself here? It's because we deliberately spread the news, hahahaha!"

"It just so happens that our detachment is still a little short of completing this month's mission. Capture them and send them all to the mines!!"

"We are not!! We really are not!!"

I heard I was going to be sent to the mine.

The group of people immediately became anxious.

"My dear soldiers, we are really not infected. Please let us go. We know where the infected are. There are a lot of infected people lurking there quietly, enough for you to complete your mission. Please let us go..."

The captain of the infected patrol team's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing interest and cruelty: "Oh? Take us there."

"If that's true, I might actually consider sparing your lives."
