Chapter 514 She needs to speak with her superiors.
The newcomer was Wen Ni, her face was cold and her gaze was authoritative!
Ma Weiwei and Mu Yang followed behind Wen Ni, stunned by her aura. The admiration that welled up in their hearts was indescribable... She was just too cool!
The students were stunned, and no one shouted anymore.
After Instructor Chen Rong nodded, the soldiers put away their guns and stood ramrod straight, their curious eyes following Wen Ni's figure.
"Wen Ni".
"Lieutenant Chen Rong."
Wen Ni stood at the front, facing Chen Rong across the iron gate. Her eyes were calm, devoid of any extra emotion, and her voice was even colder: "I request to speak with Colonel Hu Huai Ren."
"You're looking for... Colonel Hu?" Chen Rong repeated, unsure of her meaning.
The students around him looked completely bewildered.
"What is she saying? Is she crazy?"
"She said she needed to speak with her superior in the military?"
"This is a bit too absurd, too ridiculous... How could the military officers possibly pay attention to us students? Talking to them is less effective than just causing trouble!"
The students started discussing it again.
At this moment, a man got off the military vehicle and stood next to Instructor Chen Rong.
Looking at the rank alone, the man's rank is higher than Chen Rong's, belonging to the captain level!
"What's going on? Who wants to see Colonel Hu?"
"Sir." Chen Rong bowed slightly.
"Me," Wen Ni said curtly.
"You?" The captain looked him up and down, then shook his head dismissively. "Young man, stay in school and don't cause trouble or say such ridiculous things. We're on a mission and don't have time to play with you!"
“I wasn’t joking with you, having Hu Huai-ren talk to me.” Wen Ni addressed him by his full name.
"Young lady, don't go too far!"
"If you can't get in touch with Hu Huai-ren, then please help me contact Dean Feng Tao of the Gangcheng Military Region Hospital branch and tell him that I want to participate in the virus research for this epidemic." Wen Ni continued, and every word she said shocked them so much that their eyes widened!
"Hey kid, are you alright?" The captain pointed to his head, staring at Wen Ni with a half-smile. "Did you get a virus and not realize it, and ended up burning your head out?"
"Captain, watch your words." Wen Ni didn't waste any more words with him, and handed a thin green document between two fingers over the fence. "If Dean Feng can't confirm my identity, have him contact Dean Cheng Gong of the Beijing General Hospital, or Commander Qin of the Military Region, and have them communicate with him!"
The cover of the document was printed with the words "Chinese People's Liberation Army Marine Corps" in large characters, and when she accurately recited the names of one military region officer after another, it didn't seem like a fake at all!
Even someone with a damaged brain couldn't possibly know so much.
"Active duty officer's ID!?"
Of all the classmates, only Ma Weiwei understood the situation. She was stunned. "Wen Ni...you're still serving in the military? You're still a soldier? How could...how could the military allow you to take leave to complete your studies while serving in the military?! Unless you've made a great contribution, or...could it be that you're an officer?"
"Major?"
The captain answered Ma Weiwei's question.
But more questions followed.
"76482... Logistics Support Unit? A major from the Logistics Support Unit!?"
Is this fake?
"Sir," Chen Rong interrupted the captain's continued questioning, "I'll contact Colonel Hu right now!"
After saying that, he turned and ran to the military vehicle.
"No... this?" The captain was completely bewildered. After thinking it over, he turned around and ran towards the military vehicle.
Inside the military vehicle, Chen Rong had already turned on the vehicle's signal and located the army's single-line contact number.
"Chen Rong! You really want to contact Colonel Hu? She thinks it's nonsense, and you actually believe it?" The captain came over and grabbed Chen Rong's hand. "I've never heard of a major being produced in the logistics support unit! Especially such a young officer!"
“Just because you haven’t heard of her doesn’t mean she doesn’t exist.” Chen Rong pushed away the captain’s hand that was trying to stop him. “Besides, Colonel Hu knows her.”
"What!?"
The captain was stunned.
The call has been connected.
Chen Rong briefly explained the situation to Colonel Hu over the phone. Colonel Hu said he needed to verify it and called them back after a while.
"Chen Rong".
"Colonel Hu!"
The phone was played aloud so that even the captain could hear it.
“I contacted Dean Feng, who said he did not know Wen Ni.”
"What did I tell you?" The captain scoffed under his breath after hearing this. "Although I don't know how she knew the military personnel's positions, it's all made up. They don't even know her!"
"..."
Chen Rong remained silent, waiting for Colonel Hu to continue.
"but."
Sure enough, Hu Huai-ren didn't finish his sentence.
"I called Commander Qin of the Beijing area, and also called Dean Cheng Gong of the General Hospital of the Military Region, and confirmed with them..." Hu Huai-ren paused, then continued, "Wen Ni is indeed a member of the 76482 unit. In addition, she is Dean Cheng's apprentice. It was because of her experimental research on the gamma virus that a specific drug was developed in time, preventing the epidemic from spreading on a larger scale!"
"So that's how it is."
Although Chen Rong was surprised, it was largely within his expectations.
The captain, who was just chirping away, suddenly became dejected.
But he still couldn't understand how there could be such a young major!? Aren't there time limits and military merit requirements for this rank!?
"The higher-ups have approved Wen Ni's participation in this research. She will be in charge of coordinating with Dean Feng for the next steps. I have some important matters to attend to here, so I'll leave the rest to you!"
"Yes, Colonel Hu."
Everything has been confirmed.
Chen Rong drove the car to the school gate and handed the communicator over the fence to Wen Ni.
"Your participation in the research has been approved by higher authorities, and Dean Feng of the branch institute requests a dialogue with you."
"Holy crap..."
The background noise consisted of the students' shocked gasps.
"Hello, Dean Feng."
"Hello, you are Wen Ni, the one Dean Cheng mentioned on the phone. You are his student." The voice on the phone was deep and mature.
"yes."
“I’ve heard about your previous work on cracking the gamma virus. But I must remind you, this situation is much more serious than the gamma virus. So many people at the military hospital have been working day and night to solve it, and it’s not something you can do alone.” Dean Feng’s tone was somewhat arrogant.
“When did I say I was going to rely on myself alone? Dean Feng is being a bit too sensitive. I’m not the kind of person who idolizes individual heroism.” Wen Ni’s tone was calm and composed. “I just feel that more people mean more strength, don’t you think? What if I can provide you with different research directions? After all, our goal is the same, which is to control the spread of the epidemic.”
"Hmm..." Dean Feng paused for a moment, "When do you plan to come to the research lab?"
"I can come anytime."
"Why can she leave the school!" A voice rang out from the crowd of students. The person who stood up was Liu Nan from the Finance Class 1. "What if she's just using research as an excuse to leave? What difference does it make whether we're left here or waiting to die? Besides, aren't you afraid she might be carrying the virus? Aren't you afraid she'll infect others?"
"Yes...that makes sense!" The students nodded in agreement.
