Hard survival wouldn't get anyone any credits, even if they made it through.

So, even though what Lu Xiaoyao said made everyone uneasy, they still had to go out on patrol.

"A team of five."

Because they were afraid of something happening if they were alone, and also afraid that there wouldn't be enough people if something did happen, they finally divided into two groups, one team going forward and the other going backward.

Finally, when the two teams met, they confirmed that nothing had happened and returned to the security room together.

After dividing like this, Lu Xiaoyao, Julian, Bai Xiao, Yuan Fang, and Zhen Po were in one group, and Lu Gui, Mu Chen, Wang Wenfei, Madison, and Zhen Hu were in the other.

It wasn't until they had been walking for a while that Wang Wenfei couldn't help but frown and mutter, "Is there really no problem with their group?"

"What problem?" Lu Gui looked back at Wang Wenfei, not knowing what she was talking about.

"They all seem pretty impulsive. If something happens, I'm afraid no one will be able to control the situation."

Now that Lu Xiaoyao wasn't here, Wang Wenfei didn't have to worry about being broadcast when she talked about things, so she said, "Not to mention Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po, Bai Xiao's temper is much more impulsive today. After all, the initial setting of this story makes her very unhappy.

You should know that the Bai family promoted the reform of the Imperial Marriage Law in the early years because of Bai Xiao's great-aunt, who was Bai Xiao's grandfather's younger sister, and her tragic marriage.

The man's appearance and family background were comparable to the Bai family. When they got married, everyone said they were a match made in heaven.

It's just that their marriage ended miserably in less than ten years, and Bai Xiao's great-aunt paid the price of two lives.

The man only symbolically compensated a large sum of money, and even his extramarital affair ended with a perfunctory apology letter."

"Can money really buy lives?"

Among these people, Zhen Hu's family was just ordinary civilians. If they really encountered this kind of thing, most of them would just be compensated with money.

However, with the advanced medical technology of the interstellar era, the possibility of someone not dying a natural death was very rare.

Either they had an incurable genetic disease, or they encountered the Zerg. Otherwise—this kind of thing where two lives were lost was simply unimaginable. What exactly did the person experience to end up like this?

"Of course not. The Bai family's idea at the time was to pay with a life for a life, but the code at the time did not define the harm caused to the other party by extramarital affairs as very serious. Therefore, within the 50-year statute of limitations, the Bai family finally promoted the reform of the Imperial Marriage Law. The protection of the innocent party in marriage from marriage to divorce has reached the extreme, and there is even a clause that even the Federation at the time found incredible."

After Wang Wenfei finished speaking, Madison widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Is that clause real?"

Madison knew about this clause when he was in junior high school. The couple next door seemed to have a case where the woman had an affair and wanted the man to leave with nothing. The lawsuit caused a great stir and made the headlines on their star.

After all, the man was a popular singer on their planet and was very popular.

However, even though the man won the lawsuit in the end, the scandal had long become the talk of the town, which had a significant impact on the celebrity's image and later development.

At that time, a reporter interviewed him. He was exasperated and somewhat reckless, saying that his ex-wife was born in the Federation. Otherwise, in the Empire, he would have gouged out one of her eyes that was so good at deceiving people's hearts.

His speech happened to touch on the radical marriage law promoted by the Empire, which caused a lot of discussion in the Federation.

Julian also remembered this. It was true.

There was a clause in the Imperial Marriage Law stating that if the at-fault party's actions during the marriage caused serious trauma to the innocent party, whether psychological or physical, the innocent party had the right to pursue the at-fault party to pay for the crime with equal harm.

The specific meaning of "equal harm" was also proposed by the innocent party.

"Yes, the former husband of that Bai family great-aunt was once again sued by the Bai family after more than 40 years and was asked by the Bai family to...have his reproductive organs cut off and not be allowed to recover through medical means for ten years. And his current wife was sentenced to prison for the crime of being an accomplice to the injury."

"Hiss—"

The male members present felt a sudden chill down there.

Even if medical technology had developed to the point of "precise chicken reconnection," it was still terrifying!

"Therefore, the education that the Bai family receives from childhood, regardless of gender, is loyalty and consideration for marriage and partners. If there are no feelings, they also pay attention to parting peacefully, proper compensation, and negotiation, and they cannot do anything to betray their partners during the marriage."

After Wang Wenfei finished speaking, everyone had a better understanding of Bai Xiao's reaction today.

"Well, let's hurry up and patrol. The sooner we finish patrolling, the sooner we can meet Lu Xiaoyao and the others. Even if they're irrational, aren't we here to keep things under control?"

Because this topic had a significant impact on the boys present, everyone felt a chill when the cold night wind blew gently. Therefore, Madison took the lead and asked everyone to continue patrolling quickly.

However, what horrified them was that they patrolled around the villa and never managed to meet Lu Xiaoyao and the others!

…

"Don't turn on the flashlight randomly. Save it."

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was shining the flashlight into the dark bushes for the nth time, Julian finally couldn't help but say, "We agreed to take turns turning on the flashlight. It's not your turn yet."

"I, I'm just seeing that it's dark all around, and what if something is hiding in the darkness and the person with the flashlight in front doesn't notice it?"

Zhen Po, who was honestly using the flashlight to explore the road, was also implicated.

"My reconnaissance class is in the top three in the class."

Lu Xiaoyao: "Okay, turn off the flashlight, turn it off!"

Even her good brother was undermining her, so Lu Xiaoyao had to pretend to be strong and not afraid, and turn off her flashlight.

And the moment she turned off the flashlight, her livestream exploded!

[Holy crap! Was that just now in the view my eyes playing tricks on me? There's a shadow in the bushes!]

[Ahhh, I saw it too, a round shadow that's half a person tall!]

[What is that?]

[Help! I'm so scared! Someone spoil it for me, quick!]

[High energy warning, high energy warning! Someone give a warning!]

…

Just as Mingmei had just found Lu Xiaoyao and the others, she was attracted by the high energy that the barrage was talking about.

However, what they saw seemed to be themselves =.=?

"Who's there?!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from in front of Mingmei, and a dazzling light made Mingmei couldn't help but raise her hand to block the strong light that was shining on her.

Then, she heard a group of people screaming in fright and the sound of chaotic footsteps.

"Ahhhhh! A moving bear! Ugh! A teddy bear!"

"Ahhhhh, holy crap, this fake bear can move!"

"Run, run!"

The chaotic footsteps gradually faded away in Mingmei's ears. Mingmei lowered her thick, round palm and sighed helplessly as she looked at the people who had disappeared from sight.

Helpless, annoyed, and amused!

[Is it that bad? I just have a few more stitches, and my eyeballs are about to fall out... Please, my eyeballs are also made of plastic. They don't bleed. Is that scary? Are they serious?]

Mingmei stood in the bright moonlight, infinitely stretching her round teddy bear body, and stared at the part of the shadow that had disappeared into the night. Mingmei was still complaining about others when suddenly, her heart skipped a beat—

Why did the signals of five players suddenly disappear on her electronic map?
