She skillfully took out the registration book and greeted, "Are you new faces? Register first, then line up one by one."
The squad in front of us looks quite strong; if they joined the Northern Base, they should be a great asset.
"Name?"
"Ye Nianzhen".
"age?"
As the woman asked her question, she looked up and sized up the young girl in front of her.
He looked to be in his early twenties, and there was nothing particularly outstanding about him, but he was clearly the leader of the team.
Perhaps they possess hidden strength or special abilities.
She suddenly remembered the group that had come to register a few days earlier—it was also led by a woman.
The woman was beautiful and influential in the group, always getting along well with everyone.
It left a deep impression on her.
According to several of her colleagues, or rather, they complained that the woman was not only arrogant and domineering within the team, but also maintained the same behavior at the base.
They frequently complain about the food and accommodations, and a few days ago, they even made outrageous demands on the staff.
It seems like... I want to eat a refreshing dessert on a hot summer day?
Is it naiveté or wishful thinking?
Shaking her head to banish the bad memories from her mind, she wrote down the information of the person in front of her in the register.
"What is the purpose of coming to the Northern Base?"
Ye Nianzhen remained true to her original aspiration: "To form an alliance with your base."
"..."
Before the woman at the registration desk could voice her doubts, Ye Nianzhen took the initiative and said, "Please report this to your superiors."
She winked slyly at the other person and put a finger to her lips.
"We are carrying a major secret that needs to be communicated as soon as possible."
*
Ye Nianzhen's attitude was mysterious, yet carried an inexplicable sense of credibility.
Although the woman had her doubts, she still went into the office area behind her and explained the matter to her superiors.
After a while, she came out and told Ye Nianzhen and the others to go to the conference room.
Ye Nianzhen nodded and led her entire family in single file.
The conference room was simply and elegantly decorated, with a round table placed in the center.
The round table was cut from a huge tree after the apocalypse, and the layers of annual rings are clearly visible.
Several composed middle-aged men and women sat around a round table, all looking at Ye Nianzhen and the others.
Even in the harsh environment of the apocalypse, they remained well-dressed and maintained the most basic dignity.
Many of them were wearing glasses, the lenses reflecting the cold light of the conference room.
A scrutinizing gaze upon you can be incredibly stressful.
Despite the formidable situation, Ye Nianzhen remained calm and composed.
She placed her hands firmly on the edge of the round table, leaned slightly forward, and wore a polite smile.
Good afternoon, everyone.
She noticed that the top leader of the Northern Base was not among the crowd, so she kept the secret and brought up the alliance first.
"We hope to establish a stable and long-term friendly relationship with your base."
"And for a period of time, you will be able to shelter the members of our small base."
"In exchange, my squad will remain here during this time, at your service."
At the round table, a middle-aged woman asked, "What's the name of your base?"
Yeh Nianzhen turned to her: "'Budding' means hope."
Middle-aged woman: "Where is it located?"
Yeh Nien-jen: "It hasn't been established yet."
The middle-aged woman was speechless for a moment: "This..."
Another middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses interrupted their conversation with some impatience.
"Which base did this little girl come from? She's not even grown wings yet, and she already wants to protect someone?"
Ye Nianzhen's attitude remained unchanged: "Sir, I do not yet have that kind of strength, which is why I need to cooperate with your base."
The middle-aged man was somewhat unhappy.
This young girl, who seemed so immature to him, seemed to be saying that she didn't want to come to him unless absolutely necessary.
They're so arrogant, what do they think of the prestigious Northern Base?
This is not a place for little girls to play house.
So he emphasized again, "Which base did you come from?"
He wanted to hear what kind of base had produced such a "prodigy".
Ye Nianzhen felt somewhat troubled.
She turned her head and quietly asked Mingyuan, who was closest to her, for help: "...What's the name of our base again?"
Mingyuan: "..."
It's really not fair to blame Ye Nianzhen for having a bad memory, although she does sometimes have a bad memory.
She had reincarnated five times, so she didn't have a deep impression of the small base where she initially lived.
In addition, people rarely mention the name of their base.
As a result, she never even thought about this question once when she woke up this time—what was the name of the base that Hongxiao established?
Mingyuan mimicked her, tilting his head and whispering in her ear, "You forgot? Her name is 'Huoyuan'."
Ye Nianzhen felt an itch in her ear and subtly moved aside.
At the same time, he thought to himself: Heh, the taste of red saltpeter is as bad as ever!
*
Meanwhile, at the same northern base, Hongxiao suddenly sneezed.
The tall man standing opposite him, seeing this, moved away with a hint of disdain.
But the man was clearly humble and polite, and didn't show his disdain on his face.
He even asked, seemingly with concern, "What's wrong? Can people with superpowers catch a cold?"
Hongxiao wiped her nose, shaking off the inexplicable chill that had risen to her body, and glanced at the man speechlessly.
"It's been so many years, why are you still acting like such a fussy old woman?"
