"Okay, you are the squad leader, you have the final say."

Thangka mumbled, looking for drugs and heaters.

In the end, they did not leave Zhou Xiuyun and his daughter in the cold storage. The main reason is that the environment there is too bad, the air is extremely smelly and dirty. The two or three-year-old girl continues to stay inside, and maybe she will really get sick tomorrow.

This is the first time in half a month that the little girl has breathed the fresh air outside and can crawl and run freely between the channels of the supermarket. She is so happy, just like a happy puppy, almost shaking her tail and spreading the "giggling" laughter throughout the supermarket.

Although Thangka and Chu Zhiyun both saw many innocent and romantic appearances of imperial children in the dazzling phantom, it felt very different when a "real" and "flesh and blood" child appeared in front of them.

The two of them seemed to have seen a creature that was completely different from themselves, and were extremely curious about this girl named "Little Tiantian".

After Xiao Tiantian drank all the milk powder prepared for her by Chu Zhiyun by "Gudu Gudu", he became more and more intimate with these two "big brothers and sisters", and kept crawling towards Chu Zhiyun's body and arched in her arms.

Chu Zhiyun was like holding something that was extremely easy to break, with an awkward and confused expression, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't crawl, be careful!"

She naturally lowered her voice and coaxed the little guy a little awkwardly.

There was originally a huge children's area in the supermarket, which not only sold a wide range of toys, but also a small ocean ball pool and plastic castle, which became a paradise for Little Tiantian. She threw the colorful ocean balls at the Thangka, and then held a toy apple to Chu Zhiyun in both hands like a credit, and even put a serious matter under her nose and took a deep breath: "Scent, fragrant!"

Thangka and Chu Zhiyun were completely fascinated by this elf.

Zhou Xiuyun kept watching timidly from the side, and this poor woman looked at them at their mercy. She really had no way out.

The two older children and a little girl played for a long time until the sun sets and dusk is approaching. The cruel reality rose from their hearts with the cold air.

"Squad leader, it's time to decide."

After watching Xiao Tiantian who was crazy about playing, hesitated and said, "What should we... do?"

“Tomorrow is the last day of the ‘ultimate test’.”

Chu Zhiyun said upset, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

This is by no means a good answer.

Even self-deception and meaningless practice.

But Thangka understood Chu Zhiyun's state of mind very well, because this was also what he wanted to say.

The longer he gets with Xiao Tiantian, the less he is willing to capture this ignorant little guy like a meat ball into the temple and become... a person like them.

Thangka remembers the people he saw in the glittering phantoms of the Empire, TV series and various promotional videos these days, those who look healthy, strong, refreshing and happy. They either laugh or concentrate, even when they are in pain and sorrow, can roar and cry and vent their emotions without restraint.

They seemed to live more "real" and "significant" than the Holy Alliance. Thangka gradually lost himself in these tempting phantoms, not knowing whether they want to become "purifiers" or desire to be these objects that need to be purified.

"Tonight, you will stay here and try to prepare as much food as possible and water purification chips. Do you understand?"

Chu Zhiyun squatted down, touching Xiao Tiantian's head, and said to Zhou Xiuyun, "Tomorrow, we will decide again tomorrow, what should we do!"

Zhou Xiuyun nodded repeatedly, and the turbid tears flowed out again, and she whispered: "Thank you, thank you, I know, you are all... good people!"

A good person?

Thangka doesn't know.

If they follow the laws of the Holy Alliance, they should be considered evil people who are tempted by the demons and fall into the abyss without knowing themselves, and are seriously sinful?

The two left the supermarket in a complicated mood and returned to the meeting point again.

After six days of "ultimate test", half of the students have been eliminated, and the remaining people are scattered and squat on the side, as if they are extremely reluctant to contact others.

Every student was worried and thoughtful, with a layer of vague fog covering his face and eyes, as if... everyone had a secret.

"In just six days, all the students seemed to have been transformed and turned into newcomers."

Thangka thought secretly, "I don't know what happened to them in their respective purification tasks. Will they also meet their own 'Zhou Xiuyun', but they are unwilling to tell others?"

It is normal for a huge town to occupy ten days and half a month. It is a normal thing to have a few fish that miss the net. Thangka thinks his guess is very reasonable.

Only the deputy squad leader Liao Meng was still the same, as if a mad dog was about to bite people, staring at Thangka fiercely.

After two consecutive emotional out of control, this guy was able to persist until now and never get eliminated. It's really strange.

On the way back to the camp, everyone was particularly silent, including Li Yao, who was dormant in the depths of Thangka's brain.

Until all the lighting lamps in the camp were turned off, Thangka closed his eyes and finally couldn't help calling Li Yao: "Old Yao, are you still here? Why didn't you speak all the way? And I sensed that your soul fluctuations were very violent. You seemed... angry. Is this my illusion?"

"No, it's not an illusion. I'm really angry and have to try my best to control myself so that I can't let the anger erupt out of your 36,000 pores in an instant."

Li Yao paused word by word and said coldly, "So as to avoid razing the entire camp to the ground."

"this"

Thangka was surprised, "Why?"

Although he didn't have much contact with the mysterious "Yao Lao", after six or seven days, Thangka felt that "Yao Lao" had always been a hippie, as if he didn't care about the sky falling down, and he could make up for it as long as he sneeze.

“Because, four o’clock.”

Deep in Li Yao's soul, a sharp teeth grinding sound came, "First, for five days, I didn't sense anyone in the cold storage in the supermarket. Although I was attached to you and my five senses were weakened to the limit, this woman who called herself Zhou Xiuyun was not a cultivator who could control her breathing and heartbeat as she wished. As an ordinary person, her heartbeat, even through the thick walls and doors of the cold storage, I should be able to hear it.

"So, one might be that my perception has been really weakened too much, but the other might be that she just hid in the day before."

"this"

Thangka's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid, "What do you mean? There was no one in the cold storage. She, did she hide in yesterday?"

"second"

Li Yao ignored Thangka and analyzed, "Have you noticed that the first thing Xiao Tiantian drank after coming out was the milk powder made by your squad leader for her? I don't know if you Saint Alliance members can understand the subtle feelings between mother and daughter. In short, no matter in the empire or... anywhere else, as long as you are a real mother, in this case, you will definitely not pretend to be someone else's hand and will make food for your daughter by yourself.

"Third, there is another very strange thing. Do you still remember what you were doing when Zhou Xiuyun first knocked over the shelves? At that time, you and the squad leader were walking around the supermarket in colorful clothes of the Imperial people, without carrying out the so-called "purification".

"Thinking from the perspective of others, if you were 'Zhou Xiuyun', an ordinary woman who had been hiding in a cold storage for half a month and was frightened, you couldn't help but sneak out to find hot water and medicine for your child. As a result, you accidentally saw two older children dressed like imperial people, what would you think?

"Do you think these two children are civilians hiding in supermarkets like themselves, or guessing that the Empire will have a "ultimate test" here, and these two children have a sudden idea and want to learn by themselves and become a "lurker"?

"Don't forget, according to the self-introduction setting of this woman who claims to be 'Zhou Xiuyun', she is a family member of the Houtu Garage Army. Then she must have received relevant breeding training and would never know nothing about the Holy Alliance. She knows what a typical Holy Alliance looks like, and will never be what you are!

"But what was the first thing she said when she saw you? 'Don't kill me, please', in other words, even if you are not wearing the Holy Alliance-style epidemic prevention suit and have a clear mood, she knows that you are not civilians in the Empire, why?"

Thangka's heart first freezes, then shatters, and is finally sucked into a bottomless black hole.

"What does this mean?"

The boy was about to cry, "This, this is just your guess. You have no evidence. What if she was too nervous at that time?"

"The fourth, the most important truth"

Li Yao sighed and said, "The map she took out, the so-called 'special shelter for the family of the army, was a false phantom. It was a place that did not exist, and was deliberately deceived you into being deceived."

"How do you know?"

Thangka blurted out, "How do you know, the map is fake?"

"Because I have the coordinates of all military refuges on the real Black Fort Star."

Li Yao said lightly, "This refuge mentioned by 'Zhou Xiuyun' is not within the scope of my knowledge."

Behind Li Yao, there is the entire real human empire. Whether through General Lei Chenghu, Empress Dowager Li Linghai, or the little emperor himself, it is not difficult to get the military base of Black Fort Star, a list of refuges and detailed information introduction—
