Chapter 590 Reminiscing

E Ze said to Xia Yan, "If you have nothing to do next, I'll take you around the city."

The last time he went to the Shangjing base for a meeting, he met General Chu by chance, and the two talked about the holiday hotel during their casual chat.

E Zecai realized that the holiday hotel had been left long before the construction of Chuntai Island, and disappeared afterwards. It seemed that it had not seen the current planning and development.

He wanted to take her to see the base full of modern facilities. If he could make her decide to stay and do business in his base, their base's ability to resist risks would be further improved.

Faced with his fiery and expectant eyes, Xia Yan thought about it again and again and nodded in agreement.

Mainly, she also wanted to see what other bases were like.

Following the crowd of people going home to get the crystal core into the base, the most eye-catching thing is the portal standing on the side of the road.

A round transparent protective cover with a portal inside.

It looks exactly like the portal at Chuntai Base.

Seeing Xia Yan stop, E Ze followed her gaze and said with a smile, "You may not know yet, but the Chuntai base has been fully built. There is not a single zombie on the island. There are high-rise buildings everywhere. Electricity and water conservancy projects have been rebuilt. Major factories have started production, and schools have begun recruiting students..."

Xia Yan could no longer hear what he said next.

Her gaze fell on a French window, where a handsome young man sat, smiling and chatting with his colleagues.

The sunlight shone through the glass onto his face, casting a small shadow on his bulging cheek, like a speck of dust that had accidentally stained it.

It was as if he was hiding in the tire at the beginning, with a tense and determined expression, finding the right moment in the pounding heartbeat, rushing out and killing the zombie with one blow.

His mother was standing behind the glass, tears in her eyes. Seeing him return safely, she wiped the dust off his face with a mixture of pride and guilt.

Since then, the boy has grown up.

Xia Yan forgot E Ze, but she still remembered the smart and cautious Ye Qizhen.

He had a number plate on his chest, and on the wall next to the floor-to-ceiling window were the words "Police Station."

Ye Qizhen's special ability is forced communication, and this job is very suitable for him.

Someone called him from inside the house, and Ye Qi was getting up and walking in.

Xia Yan passed by the police station like this.

E Ze didn't notice her abnormality and continued to introduce the various constructions within the base, as well as its connections with Chuntai Base and other bases.

At this point, a portal on the side of the road suddenly lit up, and five or six young men walked out. The two soldiers guarding the door asked:

"ID card, which base is it from?"

"Shangyang Base."

"That's right, let's go."

The team cheered and walked along the street out of the city very familiarly, as if they had been here many times.

E Ze looked at their backs and said, "The zombies around some bases have been cleared out. In order to improve their ability levels, they can only run to other bases and only need to pay a certain fee."

"Very convenient." Xia Yan sighed.

Humanity is rebuilding civilization as quickly as it is destroying it.

E pointed to the long line across from her and said to her, "Ever since the body-modifying vaccine was invented, all ordinary people have received it. As the base commander, I no longer have to worry about the death rate exceeding the standard, haha."

E Ze is very happy when talking about this.

If she had not provided those scientists with sufficient water and electricity, ensured their personal safety, and even contributed precious experimental subjects, how could ordinary people go out as they please?

You know, if ordinary people have a hard time, his life will be miserable too!

Ever since he learned the truth, he has been thinking about when he could meet Xia Yan, and it would be best if he could thank her in person.

Without her support, I'd probably still be struggling with the everyday life of an ordinary person. Getting scolded in every meeting is unbearable for anyone!

"Boss Xia, that—" E Ze cleared his throat.

Xia Yan looked over with clear eyes, "What's wrong?"

"-Oh, haha, nothing, you still remember Su Mei, right? I heard from General Chu that you know her!" When E Ze was looked at by those eyes, he suddenly couldn't say those words, and changed the subject.

"I know her. What did she do?"

E Ze covered his mouth with his hands, looking like an old lady at the village entrance.

"Guess what Su Mei is doing now."

“…”

"Well, let me tell you, she applied to General Chu for permission to build a girls' school and became the principal!"

"...ah?"

"Shocking, right? That girl is so straightforward and stubborn, yet she actually has such ambitions. You can't judge a person by their appearance. They should be busy recruiting students at various bases with her group of sisters right now!"

Xia Yan’s mind flashed with the scene of Su Mei being a teacher and standing on the podium. Emmm, maybe it really works?

She didn't know whether Team Sumei was influenced by the container of stationery, or whether it was thanks to the little girl that they had accumulated a lot of wealth and wanted to help all young women?

For Su Mei, this kind of thinking is normal.

The two walked along the street and saw a school ahead. E Ze explained, "It's unrealistic to have only one school. Children can't gather in the same place at the same time. For now, as long as the base has the need to build a school, they can apply for it."

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, the same principle applies here.

E Ze also wanted to invite her to visit other bases, but Xia Yan declined on the grounds that she was a little tired.

As the base commander, how could she have so much time to wander around? Xia Yan didn't want to owe anyone a favor, and she was not interested in other bases.

After the two said goodbye to each other, Xia Yan returned to the hotel lobby.

As soon as my feet touched the floor, the noisy sound exploded like a bomb.

Xia Yan, who was used to quietness, frowned suddenly.

The lobby was full of guests who were very interested in the vending machines and clothing stores. The queues were so long that they could circle the hotel three times.

Xiongxiong and Xiaowan were buried in the crowd, and Xia Yan couldn't tell which voice belonged to them from the noisy voices.

"Um..." Someone poked her on the back, "If you want to buy something, please line up in the back."

The people queuing behind him looked at her with condemnation, very dissatisfied with her behavior of cutting in line.

Xia Yan stepped aside to make room, "Sorry, excuse me."

Anyway, Xiongxiong and Xiaowan are in the hall, so it doesn’t matter whether the boss is there or not.

She returned to the courtyard and lay comfortably on the sofa, with one person under her head and one in her arms, her fingers sliding across the pages of the Food City.

The balance in the account has many zeros. He eats and drinks lavishly here, and earns money there.

It can never be spent.

She had already decided to stay here for two days and then continue her travels.
