Father Wen naturally knew that Wen Yubai and her sister were the ones who walked to Base No. 5 with the survivors of the 123rd Legion.
After hearing what Wen Yubai said, his expression returned to normal. He walked over and shook hands with Captain Pei: "Thank you for protecting my daughter and niece."
"I don't deserve it. In fact, we relied more on Xiaowen's help along the way. She saved my life." Captain Pei said a little embarrassedly.
"Saving me is an exaggeration. We are comrades-in-arms and should help each other. With your ability, you will be fine even if I don't help." Wen Yubai didn't dare to accept this life-saving favor.
In his previous life, Captain Pei lost one hand and had no superpowers, but he still managed to reach Base No. 5 alive. Not to mention that his abilities in this life are so powerful that he doesn't need her to save him at all.
"Yesterday in the mission hall, I heard the clerks discussing Colonel Fu. They said he was the commander of Base No. 5. Is that true?" Wen Yubai asked. This was the truth. She did hear the gossip.
"Yes, my uncle officially took office yesterday." Captain Pei admitted.
This was the first time he took office as soon as he arrived at the base. However, it was also true that Colonel Fu was the son of the Chief of the Hua Kingdom, and he was well qualified for the position in terms of both ability and character. If others wanted to fight for power, it would be difficult for them to compete with him right away.
"So we can say that we have found a golden thigh." Wen Yubai said with a smile.
"My uncle also said that he was very lucky to have a general like you in the base, which made his work easier." Captain Pei also smiled.
"Captain Pei, you are the number one general under Colonel Fu." Wen Yubai replied.
While the two were talking about business to each other, Wen Yubai's stepmother Zhang Xiying also came out, and Captain Pei stood up again and greeted her politely.
Wen Yubai did not specifically introduce this as her stepmother to Captain Pei. She believed that her superiors had already checked her family background.
"Didn't you say you had a mission? Let's go into the study and talk." Wen Yubai decided to take his men to another location. The living room was really not suitable for discussing things.
On the first floor, the original owner arranged a very comfortable study room. Wen Jinsong and his friends did not touch anything inside, so it is very suitable for discussing things.
Captain Pei certainly had no objection. After the two of them entered the study and sat opposite the desk, Zhang Xiying poured them two cups of boiled water. Only then did Wen Yubai remember that she had forgotten these basic etiquette.
After thanking him politely, Captain Pei took the water cup and drank a few sips before putting it down. He said to Wen Yubai, "Another cold wave will hit in about ten days. This time the temperature will be lower and the duration will be longer than the last time. There will be at least half a month of snow accumulation. But the food in the base is not enough to support a month, so we must get a batch of food before the cold wave arrives."
Wen Yubai did not say anything, but just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. In the previous life, there was indeed a famine at Base No. 5 in the winter.
Captain Pei continued, "The base commander is currently incorporating the personnel from each legion into the base army. It will take at least two or three days to complete the integration, and then we can go out on missions. There are still some supplies in the nearby cities, but it is not enough to feed two or three million people for a month. The base commander plans to pick some psychics with better skills and prepare to set off for Nanyan City tomorrow. The reserve supplies there have not been taken away. If we can get them, we won't have to worry about food for at least half a year."
Wen Yubai thought about the information about Nanyan City. Nanyan City is about four or five days away from here. That city not only has reserve supplies, but is also a military material transfer center, so there are a large number of supplies inside and outside the city.
In his previous life, Wen Yubai knew that there were a lot of supplies in Nanyan City, not to mention the well-informed base leaders. However, even though they knew there were treasures in the mountains, no one dared to take them because Nanyan City was too dangerous.
There are two villages near Nanyan City. No one knew what kind of resources they had before the end of the world. In recent years, many families in those two villages have been raising snakes for a living, so they suffered a tragedy after the end of the world.
Nanyan City has become a snake den. Both survivors and zombies in the city have been almost wiped out by the mutated snakes.
In the previous life, continuous cold waves caused famine in many bases, so many bases sent people to Nanyan City, but naturally, they all died in the snake's belly.
Wen Yubai now thinks that in his previous life, many masters died in Nanyan City, which greatly weakened the strength of many bases.
In the previous life, Base No. 5 sent people to take the risk in Nanyan City more than half a month later when the food in the base was almost exhausted.
In his previous life, Wen Yubai was injured while searching for supplies and was recovering from his injuries, so he was not on the shortlist.
In her impression, although Su Yongquan was the leader of the Nanyan City group, it was said that the person who finally killed the mutant snake leader was Jiang Tianyan.
In this operation, except for Jiang Tianyan's team, Base No. 5 suffered heavy losses. Although they got the expected food, only two out of ten psychics who participated in this mission survived, and most of them were elites in the army of Base No. 5.
It was also because of this incident that Jiang Tianyan, who joined the base army, became the number one person under Base Commander Fu.
Wen Yubai pursed her lips. With her and Captain Pei together in this life, they would definitely not let so many masters die again.
So, can Jiang Tianyan still be in the spotlight? Will he join the base army?
"Xiao Liu, the number of people who will participate in this mission is decided by you, but they must all be level one or above psychics. As far as we know, Nanyan City is very dangerous and there may be many mutant snakes." Captain Pei said.
"Mutated snake! Do you know what the highest level is? I am most afraid of this kind of slimy, weak and boneless thing." Wen Yubai said with a look of disgust.
"It is said that there are three groups, and the mutant snake leaders at the head of each group should be above the second level."
No wonder so many psychics died there in the previous life. At this time, there were only a few level 2 psychics in the entire Flower Kingdom, not to mention they had a large number of level 1 minions.
After the conversation, Captain Pei suddenly took out a lot of things out of thin air: "My uncle has decided to stop providing free food in three days and adopt the policy of purchasing with points. These supplies are given to you by my uncle in private, you can keep them."
When Wen Yubai saw Captain Pei take something out of thin air, he immediately understood.
The jade pendant forged by the system that she had given them before was recognized as the owner by Colonel Fu to Captain Pei.
This has to be said to be a very correct decision. As the base commander of Base No. 5, Colonel Fu must stay in the base for a long time.
As for Captain Pei, who has super strong military power and is the most trusted by Colonel Fu, he must often go out to do missions and collect supplies. With such a portable space device, Captain Pei can receive some precious supplies without making a fuss.
However, faced with such a treasure, Colonel Fu was able to act rationally. It must be said that he was a very wise man.
