The dormitory was unusually lively today, as many people had moved in, mostly tall and burly ordinary people.
Li Qian explained, “I have arranged for key personnel to be housed in the dormitory; among them is a doctor, and I have also brought back a few medical students.”
Lu Chen had no objections, and Su Mo nodded in agreement; this was the fairest way, as those doing the hardest work could not be left to live in the worst cells.
Zhao Xiwen, supported by crutches, was flanked by two burly men as she walked.
With Mo Yan gone and without his protection, Chu Mengyao was exceptionally obedient and quietly followed behind.
The group arrived at the cells where a small platform had been set up with a chair placed on it.
The pungent, sour stench made both women cover their noses at the same time.
Li Qian stopped in front of the platform and said gently to them, “From today, you will need to take turns here and at the dormitory collecting water; the cells must have water for daily use.”

“Me?
Well…” Su Mo feigned a sigh and said to her, “The food you eat from now on will certainly owe some credit to me.”
“Miss Su Mo will join us in

“Where did Mo Yan and the others go to find supplies today?” Su Mo took a seat on a chair.
“Pingshui County, it’s in a different direction from Black City,” Li Qian replied.
“It’s not far, and they should be back by tonight unless something unexpected happens.”
“If the resources there are abundant, we might also take a trip tomorrow,” Su Mo nodded and turned to Lu Chen, “What do you think?”

She still had injuries, and going out at this time…
