Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment; he certainly couldn't waste time here.

But he always felt that there was something not quite right here, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

During the journey, he had noticed that people here weren't carrying weapons, everyone could move about freely, and there was no hierarchy.

It's fantastic~

But in such a post-apocalyptic setting, the better the place seemed, the more Jiang Xiao felt something was off.

You have to know, with all the bases in Shanghai-Hong Kong, people there aren't living as comfortably as they are here.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xiao asked earnestly.

"Uh, can you introduce your isolation zone to me? I think it's very valuable for our organization."

The woman nodded slightly, signaling them to follow her.

She led them through corridors, introducing the basic situation and rules of the isolation zone.

There are self-sustaining living facilities here, including food growing areas, water recycling purification systems, and even small medical research laboratories and gymnasiums.

Shi Shi was extremely curious about all these high-tech facilities, constantly asking the woman questions, wanting to understand every detail better.

"How are these foods grown? How does the water recycling system work?"

Shi Shi's questions were like a barrage of bullets, forcing the woman to answer each one.

Because this is the top hospital in Capital City.

There are already various experimental instruments and tools here, along with giants from the medical field, it just needs slight modifications.

In summary, it's a place with both abundant resources and high-intelligence personnel to transform them.

Niu Jieshi was more cautious, his gaze combing every corner of the isolation zone, seemingly looking for hidden dangers.

"Is this place really safe? Is there any danger we don't know of?" His questions were direct and sharp.

The woman stopped, facing Niu Jieshi seriously.

"This is currently the safest place. We have a comprehensive security system and emergency plans; of course, there is no absolutely safe place in this world, but here, we've made the utmost effort."

Jiang Xiao remained silent, his gaze scanning the isolation zone, noting every detail.

During the tour, he found the layout of the isolation zone very reasonable, with clear functional divisions in each area, and personnel movements orderly.

Plus, most of the facilities are automatic, so there's barely any need for full-time monitoring.

This gives the place an extremely relaxed atmosphere.

Though the productivity of the Shanghai-Hong Kong base far exceeds here, resources there are not only used internally but also allocated externally.

This results in everyone at the Shanghai-Hong Kong base looking very busy.

With the woman's introduction, Jiang Xiao gradually understood the operating mode of the isolation zone, but doubts lingered in his heart.

Where is Bai Liu now?

Why was her message only conveyed to Wang Dayong?

Uh, maybe Bai Liu sent it to everyone she knew, this Jiang Xiao couldn't confirm.

Jiang Xiao's gaze rested on the woman's face for a moment, then shifted to Shi Shi and Niu Jieshi beside him.

There was a kind of restrained anxiety in their eyes, clearly wanting to leave quickly to continue searching for Bai Liu's whereabouts.

Obviously, the information on Bai Liu's side is what's important; since she's not here, they naturally have no reason to linger.

"We are very grateful for your warm hospitality and detailed introduction."

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly, trying to make his tone sound relaxed and natural,

"But our task isn't complete; we need to continue searching for Bai Liu."

The woman listened to his words, her expression didn't change much, but a trace of sharpness flashed in her eyes, barely noticeable.

"I understand your urgency."

The woman remained calm, and her tone was as cold as always.

"But you have seen the outside situation is very dangerous, and this is a safe haven. I suggest you stay here for at least two days, personally experience our life, there might be unexpected gains."

Jiang Xiao, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something, pondered for a while, and eventually nodded.

"Alright, but our time is very precious, we cannot stay here too long."

The woman smiled slightly, seeming pleased with Jiang Xiao's answer.

"Of course, I completely understand; I'll arrange for someone to take you to the guest rooms, where you can rest. If you need anything, let us know at any time."

Following the woman's instructions, a staff member in protective attire led Jiang Xiao and the group through several corridors to the guest room area.

The rooms were simple and comfortable, well-equipped, seemingly to make guests feel at home.

Jiang Xiao and his team were arranged in adjacent rooms.

They rested briefly in their rooms, then gathered to discuss the next action plan.

"We must remain vigilant."

Jiang Xiao whispered.

"Although the isolation zone is safe, some aspects feel off, we need to find more information, especially regarding Bai Liu."

Shi Shi nodded, indicating agreement.

"I think we can act separately." She suggested, "We can experience life here while gathering information, to see if there are any secrets."

Niu Jieshi was frowning, clearly skeptical about the safety of the isolation zone.

Jiang Xiao gently rubbed his chin, his gaze sharp as a knife, knowing that every moment in this post-apocalyptic world was filled with uncertainty and danger. His

words were few, but each strike struck the mark.

"The woman's character is clearly indifferent and unapproachable, you can tell from their mutual communication."

"Logically, such a character would wish for Jiang Xiao and the others to leave as quickly as possible, but she is paradoxically keen on having Jiang Xiao and the team stay..."

There's definitely something odd going on!

Jiang Xiao is confused why she wants them to stay—apart from having three more mouths to feed, what else?

Once you know her purpose, you'll probably know the secret here...

Upon hearing Jiang Xiao's analysis, Shi Shi and Niu Jieshi both gave him thumbs up.

How clever!

"Uh, what about Wang Dayong and Ma Ran?"

Ah, this...

They're still in the cafeteria overhead, not to mention eating, they don't even have a warmer blanket.

"Ahem, well, Jieshi, go to the monitoring hall over there, let them find a ward in that area to make do for a night."

Going hungry for a night is a minor problem; surely, it won't starve them.

"Shi Shi, sleep lightly tonight. I feel this woman is impatient, definitely won't tolerate us 'staying long-term' here."
