The base's headquarters is located in the former urban finance bureau building.
The wall at the gate looked newly built, more than two meters high, with watchtowers around it and machine guns mounted on it.
This is not only the command center, but also various important materials are stored here.
There is at least one platoon of fixed sentries at the gate.
Even though Li Shenghua's rank was not low, his ID card was still routinely checked when he entered here.
After Lin Qingqing checked and registered, she could only wait in the waiting area in the compound.
She saw dozens of armored vehicles parked in the headquarters compound, like a group of dormant ferocious beasts.
The patrolling soldiers marched in and out of the yard in unison.
There was no laughter or noise here, the atmosphere was very serious. Most of the people coming in and out were men and women in military uniforms, and only a few were in civilian clothes.
Lin Qingqing didn't dare to look around at first, but Li Shenghua had been in there for a long time and hadn't come out yet, so she couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that there was a tea room, she went over to get some water and took the opportunity to take a look around.
This was probably the Finance Bureau's office hall before, and some of the signage hadn't been removed. The power and internet systems were still functioning, though they seemed to be limited, with lights only lit in a few corners. It was so cold, and the air conditioning wasn't on.
Everyone was busy except her drinking tea.
After drinking the water, she filled her own water bottle. Any purchases at the base required points, so every penny saved was a penny earned.
The bathroom was right next to it, so Lin Qingqing simply went to the toilet. After coming out, she took a towel to wash her face and brush her teeth.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
An angry voice sounded behind her. Lin Qingqing looked up at the mirror on the sink and saw that it was the old man cleaning the sink. She ignored him and continued brushing her teeth.
"No manners."
The old man got angry when he saw that she didn't stop and continued, and swept the broom in his hand directly towards Lin Qingqing's feet.
Lin Qingqing seemed to have eyes on her back. She jumped on the spot and the broom fell into the air.
After brushing her teeth, she turned on the tap to wet the towel and was about to wipe her face when her heels started to hurt again.
I can't control my anger. If I talk to her nicely, she will feel guilty, because she is the one who took advantage of public resources.
Do this...
Lin Qingqing raised one foot and took a step back, stepping on the broom head. The old man used too much force this time and couldn't stop, so he pounced on Lin Qingqing!
Lin Qingqing stepped aside indifferently and watched him fall.
The old man let out a painful cry, and the soldiers patrolling the hall immediately ran over!
When they saw the old man falling, they quickly helped him up: "Old Zhou, what happened to you?"
"Oh my God, my waist is about to break!" Old Zhou had to hold on to their arms to stand steadily, and the look he gave Lin Qingqing was murderous.
"It's all her fault." Old Zhou pointed at Lin Qingqing and complained to the soldiers.
He was a section-level cadre, but after the apocalypse, he became a monk sweeping the floor just to have a bite to eat. Now he doesn't like anyone.
Lin Qingqing looked confused, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.
"What's going on?" The squad leader looked at Lin Qingqing and asked her with a frown.
"I was washing my face. I don't know why he fell!" Lin Qingqing said, raising the towel in her hand.
"Who told you to wash your face and brush your teeth here? This is the base command center, is this the place for you to wash your face?" Old Zhou pointed at Lin Qingqing with a dark face and scolded.
He regained some of the feeling of scolding his subordinates before the end of the world, and he no longer felt the pain in his waist and back.
"Can't? I didn't know! You didn't remind me." Lin Qingqing wrung the towel, "Forget it, I won't wash it then."
As she spoke, she wiped her face again with the wrung-out towel, then took a plastic bag from her backpack and put it in.
Then I took out the skin care lotion, applied it to my face, and patted it gently...
A faint fragrance wafted out, and the woman's skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth. The soldiers, who were not very old, were immediately stunned.
Old Zhou, a seasoned warrior, was unmoved by beauty. He trembled with anger, "She... is causing trouble. Get her out."
"I'm not doing anything naughty. You said I can't wash my face, so I didn't wash my face. What? Can't I use skin care products here?" Lin Qingqing looked surprised. To be honest, she really didn't take good care of her skin.
If Li Shenghua didn't come out, she would also like to apply a facial mask.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhou, who was originally busy, was reminded by a colleague and realized that something had happened to her father. She hurried over.
When Old Zhou saw his daughter coming, he seemed to have found support instantly. He pointed at Lin Qingqing and complained to his daughter:
"It was her. She pushed me down on purpose, just because I said she was wasting water!" A hint of malice flashed in Old Zhou's eyes. He hated these sharp-tongued women the most. They could turn black into white. This time, he would leave her speechless.
"Why did you push my dad? He already has bad legs and feet. Do you want to kill him? Our family depends on the two of us to support it." Xiao Zhou became anxious when he heard this.
All six members of her family were alive and arrived at the base safely.
In the end times, this is extremely rare. However, the pressure of survival is also unprecedentedly great!
All the savings before the end of the world have become lost data. They don’t have much supplies and they consume them quickly. The family has never done any physical or technical work.
Even finding a job at the base was difficult. If it weren't for Xiao Zhou's classmate's ability, he wouldn't even have been able to sweep the floor.
The patrol team leader asked, "Why did you push Lao Zhou?"
"There are surveillance cameras, right? You can investigate the surveillance cameras." Lin Qingqing said calmly.
She spoke calmly to the soldiers, packed her things, and prepared to leave.
She was not interested in meeting the base commander, a person from a completely different dimension.
"You can't just leave like this! You have to compensate me for my losses!"
Old Zhou was unwilling to accept that he had fallen in vain, so he pulled Lin Qingqing's clothes!
"Is he trying to scam me?" Lin Qingqing laughed. She had never bumped into this old man from beginning to end.
"There's no surveillance in this area!" The squad leader sided with Xiao Zhou. After all, Xiao Zhou was wearing the base uniform, and Lao Zhou was also a non-staff member.
Lin Qingqing's face suddenly turned cold.
"So?" She glanced coldly at the father and daughter, her eyes fixed on the squad leader's face.
When Lao Zhou heard the squad leader talking to him, he straightened his back immediately and cried out in pain, "You almost broke my waist. You have to compensate me with at least 200 points."
Lin Qingqing sneered and was about to speak.
An orderly trotted up to her, snapped to attention, and saluted: "Ms. Lin, the base commander wants to see you. Please follow me first!"
When Old Zhou, his daughter, and the squad leader saw this, they shrank back and wished they had not said anything.
The base commander has the final say here, and they are just the lowest-level staff.
"But I am a suspect now! This cleaner said I pushed him down, and you soldiers said there is no surveillance in this area!" Lin Qingqing stood there without moving.
"What's going on, Corporal?" the orderly asked the squad leader expressionlessly. This was the headquarters hall, where wasn't there surveillance equipment?
There are also some in the toilet, except for the cubicles.
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding! Right, Lao Zhou?" The squad leader regretted it deeply.
He looked towards Lao Zhou for help, but Lao Zhou just covered his waist and cried out in pain. Xiao Zhou didn't know the truth and only believed what her father said before, so she said: "My dad just said she was wasting water, so she pushed my dad."
"Is there any surveillance?" Lin Qingqing asked the orderly.
