It's like someone offering you a pillow when you're sleepy.

The day after Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao talked, Gu Yanlin dragged his exhausted body and bloodshot eyes back to the tent.

He hadn't had a break in a long time, and now that the rescue mission was over, he could finally get some rest.

Several days had passed the golden rescue period, and continuing to dig would yield no results, so the rescue mission for the earthquake in City C came to an end.

Chu Guodong gave them two days off so they could rest and get back into shape, as there were other tasks waiting for them.

Upon arriving home, Gu Yanlin, without even taking a break, immediately dropped a bombshell on Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao.

Two days later, their team was about to leave City C and head to the capital to carry out a mission.

Gu Yanlin only knew that their destination was the capital, but he did not know the specifics of their mission.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao immediately decided to travel to the capital with Gu Yanlin.

However, the situation in the capital is unclear, so the first priority is to find out about the current situation in the capital from Chu State East.

In Gu Yanzhi's memory, the capital should have already established a base by this time in his previous life. There are certain thresholds and conditions for entering the base, and it is best to understand these in advance.

Furthermore, they needed to understand in advance the preparations for the journey, including whether the two of them could travel with Team 532.

The next day, Gu Yanlin rested at home and took care of Gu Yanzhi, while Song Zhao got up early in the morning to go to the government's temporary work site to resign from her job transporting supplies.

The person in charge was reluctant to part with this outstanding talent who could fight and lead a team. He tried to persuade him to stay for a long time, but finally agreed to his application when he saw that Song Zhao's attitude was really firm.

However, since it was difficult to find a team to take over in a short period of time, Song Zhao continued working for another day before officially leaving.

The supplies were delivered three times a day, and the time in between was all Song Zhao's own.

After finishing his work, Song Zhao didn't even have time to rest before rushing to the 532nd garrison to find Chu Guodong.

"Ah Zhao? What a rare guest! What brings you here? Is there anything I can do for you?" Hearing the soldier on duty say that someone was looking for him, Chu Guodong came out and saw that it was Song Zhao. Chu Guodong knew in his heart that it was probably about their trip to the capital.

"Here you go," Song Zhao handed the large bag he was carrying to Chu Guodong. Inside were several insulated containers, containing food, dishes, and drinks that Gu Yanzhi had prepared for them.

We also prepared some frostbite medicine and bruise medicine.

Knowing that these people, like Gu Yanlin, had been having trouble eating and sleeping lately and had also suffered many injuries, I specially prepared some for them.

When Gu Yanlin came back yesterday, he looked incredibly thin. His hands, face, and ears were covered in frostbite marks, and his thighs and arms were also covered in bruises. Gu Yanzhi was heartbroken.

Chu Guodong, carrying a thermos, led Song Zhao to the tent of Squad 532.

There are only a limited number of tents available, so six young men are crammed into a small tent with only three blankets. Two men share one blanket, and they are all fast asleep.

Song Zhao was the first to crawl inside, only to find that there wasn't even room to put his feet down.

"Get up!" Chu Guodong kicked each of the remaining five people awake.

"Hmm, what's up? Are we about to start a mission?"

"Attention! Line up!"

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Chu Guodong immediately adopted his usual training tone and started shouting slogans.

Now the group was completely sober, and they instinctively stood up and lined up in a row.

"Reporting numbers"

“1”

“2”

“3”

“4”

“5”

"Reporting, Captain, Squad 532, 6 men expected, 6 men present. Please give instructions." Lin Cheng stood at the front of the team, saluted Chu Guodong, and waited for Chu Guodong's next instructions.

The tent wasn't tall enough, so when several people stood in a row, they couldn't straighten their backs at all. The sight of them standing hunched over in military posture was absolutely hilarious.

"Here," Chu Guodong handed the bag in his hand to Lin Cheng, who subconsciously reached out and took it.

"Take this and eat it, your brother Zhao brought it." Chu Guodong's lips twitched as he spoke, unable to help but laugh at the funny scene before him.

"Oh, thank you, Captain! Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

Don't forget to leave some for me.

Watching a group of boys carrying bags and cheering as they found a corner and excitedly opened the insulated boxes inside, Chu Guodong loudly gave them a word of advice.

"Dongzi, Yanlin said you're going to the capital?" Chu Guodong and Song Zhao huddled in another corner of the tent, where a table was placed, which served as Chu Guodong's place to handle official business.

"Yes, I received orders from my superiors to leave no later than the day after tomorrow." Chu Guodong didn't mince words. He couldn't say the specific mission, but he could still say the departure time and destination.

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Guodong asked directly, "What are your plans? Can Yan Lin come along?"

Logically, Gu Yanlin is already a registered soldier and cannot leave the unit before being discharged. However, in the post-apocalyptic world, much information is not circulating and the internet is down, so there is still room for maneuver.

Having spent time together and been through thick and thin with each other, Chu Guodong decided to follow Gu Yanlin's decision. It would be best if he could go with them, but if not, he would try his best to either get Gu Yanlin discharged from the army or transfer him to another unit.

Although he was reluctant to part with this outstanding team member, both from a moral and practical standpoint, he was also reluctant.

"Yan Lin doesn't want to leave the army. I came here to ask if Zhi Zhi and I can go together?"

Upon hearing Chu Guodong's inquiry, Song Zhao had a guess in his mind. In the worst-case scenario, Yan Lin should also be able to leave the army and leave City C with them, and that would be enough.

If the rest of us can go to the capital together, that would be wonderful.

"Of course, but our final destination this time is the capital, although we may stop at other bases for a period of time along the way."

Chu Guodong readily agreed, saying it was a small matter; it was just traveling together, not revealing the mission to them.

The following day, Song Zhao made two more trips during his spare time while transporting supplies, and finalized the specific action plan with Chu Guodong.

They also learned about the entry requirements for the capital base and other bases, just like Chu Guodong.

Fortunately, they didn't rush directly to the capital base. The capital base is now saturated with people. Over the past two years, people from nearby cities have flocked to the capital, causing it to become overcrowded and no longer accepting outsiders.

However, as the captain of the special forces team, Chu Guodong was returning to the capital base to carry out a special mission. In addition, his family had some influence in the capital, so bringing two people in was not a problem.
