The new person in charge of the canteen was Li Hui.

She quickly noticed the abnormal atmosphere. When she was walking towards the canteen, lively voices could be heard. It was as if the canteen was filled with joy.

​​

"She really deserves it. She's not a capable person."

"Right? Li Tao is so popular. She's like a famous celebrity. Heck, even celebrities are not as popular as her."

"We are only worthy of eating her leftovers."1

Meanwhile, Li Ran could only glance at Li Ke worriedly.

She nudged her and said, "Why don't you go queue over there? Get your food and eat first. I'll think of a way to get some food from the kitchen."

"Is that really okay?"

"Of course. Trust me."

Li Ran looked at her with a calm face, giving Lin Ke a sense of relief and she compromised.

As Li Ran left the cafeteria, she sighed heavily.

She finally understood what mob mentality was actually like and how people could easily get roped into it, and this was only the beginning.

If Li Ran did not have the mysterious space, she would have died long ago.

Her departure did not dissolve the situation.

There were people who actually followed Li Ran out to see how things would unfold.

Li Hui rushed over with a megaphone in her hand. She looked really tense.

"Those who cause trouble will be kicked out and won't be given any food," she shouted.

When people heard that, they instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Hui with fear in her eyes.

'Who is this child? How old is she? 20?'

Li Hui looked much younger than Cui Chong.

Those who were unconvinced tried to bully Li Hui. They began jeering at her.

"We didn't do anything. I barely ate at noon! If you take away my food, I'll starve to death."

"Yeah, you're torturing us! What's the point of coming to this safety base? How disappointing!"

"Little brat! I dare you to do it! We're not afraid of you!"

"..."

A security guard came and controlled the situation.

Li Hui did not pay any attention to the scene.

Her gaze was fixed at this person called Li Tao.

Just then, their eyes met.

Li Ran smiled at Li Hui to express her gratitude

Then, she left.

Li Hui went after Li Ran and stopped her.

'She does not seem to be wretched like Cui Chong.'

"Are you Li Tao?"

"Yes."

Li Ran responded with a slight smile.

When she smiled, she looked exactly like the woman from the photo!

Li Hui blinked and said, "Wait a moment."

Then, she went to look for a security guard. She wanted the security guard to follow her while she searched for Lin Nan!

'Even if she may not be Li Ran, Lin Nan might be more motivated after he sees her!'

It was a good idea, but Li Ran was leaving.

Li Hui hurriedly asked the security guard to follow her.

Then, she rushed straight to the military district to look for Lin Nan.

...

Li Ran was beginning to feel anxious. The safety base was not big enough. There were people everywhere.

Fortunately, it was dinner time, so there were way less people around.

She needed to take advantage of the current situation to go to the mysterious space and have a splendid meal!

Li Ran left in a hurry and did not realize that someone was following her.

It was Fang Qiu. She carefully tailed Li Ran and sent a message to Cui Chong.

She watched as Li Ran entered an abandoned room.

The corners of Fang Qiu's mouth curled up into a cold smile.

'You didn't expect this, did you, Li Tao?'

After Cui Chong received Fang Qiu's message, he immediately rushed over, bringing along two people whom he trusted!

He did not expect Lin Nan to be at the safety base as well.

Moreover, he seemed to be in a position of power.

If they met, Li Ran would tell him everything that had happened and it would be the end of him.

He needs to prevent that from happening no matter what!

Cui Chong knew that he did not have much time left!

The security guard who was ordered to follow Li Ran could not find her, but what he did find was Fang Qiu being all sneaky.

"What are you doing here?"

Fang Qiu was shocked.

She turned around and exclaimed, "Big brother, you almost scared me to death! I'm waiting for someone here."

This was said sarcastically
