Chapter 6868
The mission location this time is Jiading Island, an island.
When Xue Ling regained consciousness, the mission had already been completed and everyone felt relaxed.
A group of people who had nothing to do at the moment were looking for food on the reefs and the beach, carrying buckets and broken fishing nets.
After a period of resource shortage in the end times, people are very enthusiastic about edible food.
Wen Jiu appeared with Xue Ling without attracting any attention.
They were all used to seeing these two people inseparable, and they knew they were not dangerous. Of course, it was best not to get too close to them when there was nothing to do.
For the sake of his own safety and also to avoid irritating Xue Ling.
When Xue Ling was brought out by Wen Jiuze, she carefully observed the faces of these people, trying to see if there was anyone she knew.
Sadly, they knew her, but she was a stranger to everyone.
Wen Jiuze led Xue Ling to find a beach far away from the crowd, where the water quality was better.
"Ahhhhh!" Xue Ling released the depressed breath in his body towards the setting sea.
The surging tide gave people the urge to "go with the flow". Xue Ling ran towards the sea, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Then a wave came and knocked her into the sea.
Wen Jiuze, who was following behind, was not prepared for her to suddenly run out, and didn't have time to catch her: "..."
He quickly went over and pulled the stunned Xue Ling out of the sea.
The other end of the empty handcuffs on his hand was handcuffed to Xue Ling's hand.
Xue Ling: “…”
Wen Jiuze took out his tablet and said, "In case you are washed away, if you are washed into the sea, I will have to go and start a salvage boat..."
Xue Ling didn't argue with him. She ignored the handcuffs on her wrists and directly grabbed his hands, preventing him from finishing writing.
Then it rushed towards the small waves with a roar.
Wen Jiuze was like a pillar, firmly rooted to the ground. Xue Ling held him, and although he was tossed around by the knee-high water, he would not fall down.
Whenever Xue Ling felt unsteady and was about to fall, Wen Jiuze would pick her up.
On the coast, a group of soldiers were making a fire and eating seafood. Xue Ling finally came out of the water, walked to the beach, picked up a small branch and scratched it.
"Like a dream, a year has passed in the blink of an eye."
Wen Jiuze poked at his tablet and quickly said something bland: "Get up, don't sit on the beach like a fried chicken leg covered in breadcrumbs."
Xue Ling: “…”
I want to talk to you about my emotional thoughts. What are you talking about?
She stood up and angrily brushed the sand off her body.
Reopening the topic: "How was your year?"
Wen Jiuze: "I live a very fulfilling life. I work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without a single day off."
Xue Ling: “…” Even for a corpse, this job is a bit like hell.
Wen Jiuze: "You are also very easy to take care of. If I don't take you out for a day, you will smash things and be more aggressive than other zombies. If I take you out, you will attack people and I can't stop you."
Xue Ling: “…” This description sounds like déjà vu.
Wen Jiuze: "Although you live in a small building on the base that is not soundproof, you always howl in the middle of the night and often receive complaints from neighbors, but after seeing you, they dare not come to argue with you in person."
Xue Ling: “…” That’s terrible. I meant neighbors.
Wen Jiuze: "I took you on a mission without handcuffing you, and you quickly got mixed up with a group of zombies and wandered around with them. I circled the entire street and searched for a long time before I found you."
"Okay, stop talking."
Xue Ling snatched Wen Jiuze's tablet and was shocked by his super fast typing speed.
His face became thinner, but his movements became faster.
"It's my fault. I apologize to you."
"I'm sorry I've caused you trouble."
Wen Jiuze picked up the small branch she dropped and scratched it on the ground: "It's not a problem, it's just that no one quarrels with me, and every day is boring."
Because I'm bored, I can only work hard on the tasks.
"...You really don't think I'm a problem?" As soon as Xue Ling heard his classic description of making a big thing small and a small thing nothing, she knew the actual situation must be much worse than he said.
For more than a year, she felt like she was dreaming and it didn't feel real yet. But Wen Jiuze had to get through it day by day, and he must have encountered many things while taking her with him.
Xue Ling felt suffocated just thinking about it.
"I must have caused you a lot of trouble..." Xue Ling lowered her head.
Wen Jiuze lifted her pointed chin with his thumb and thumb and showed her the tablet: "You call the daily events that happen during meals a trouble?"
Xue Ling: “…”
What a comforting “Wen Jiuze” style.
To be honest, when I think about how often it happens, I really can't help but feel sorry.
"What about Wen Yi, what about Laboratory 8027, and what about the research on the zombie virus vaccine?" Xue Ling asked.
Wen Jiuze: "Let's continue to talk about the trouble you've caused me."
Xue Ling: "Didn't you say it's not a problem anymore?"
Wen Jiuze: "You took me seriously when I was being polite to you. Listen carefully and thank me afterwards."
Xue Ling: "Thank you, if you have the guts, just throw me into the trash can!"
Wen Jiuze suddenly fell silent, and Xue Ling began to reflect on whether he had said that before. In fact, there was nothing wrong with just saying thank you.
"That's the feeling of quarreling. It's great." Wen Jiuze said this after a moment of silence, and raised his thumb to signal her to continue.
Xue Ling: “…” You’re really sick!
It's getting dark.
Xue Ling's plan to have a good talk with Wen Jiuze and understand the current situation was not accomplished when she stepped out of the room. Instead, she exchanged a bunch of nonsense using a tablet and writing on the beach.
"Don't lead me astray again!" Xue Ling reminded. This stretch of beach had already been messed up by their writing.
"It's dark now, I can't see clearly what to write." Wen Jiuzhe wrote.
You can clearly see that you just want to go against me! Xue Ling decided not to talk anymore and went back to take a shower.
My body had been soaked in sea water and was covered in sand, so it felt wet and heavy, and I felt mentally uncomfortable.
The small temporary room they lived in had access to water and a small bathtub.
Xue Ling locked the door, sat in the bathtub, rubbed her body, and quietly measured her body data.
Wen Jiuze didn't say how she suddenly became sober again after a year.
The locked bathroom door was suddenly opened with a click, and Wen Jiu walked in naturally and put some things next to the bathtub.
"Use this shower gel and shampoo. The original ones here are expired. Also, put your pajamas and slippers here. Do you want a bath towel?"
Xue Ling was still measuring her neck and hadn't had time to put her hand down. Wen Jiu glanced at the tape measure on her neck and pointed at his tablet to remind her seriously, "Don't hang yourself in the bathroom."
Who hanged himself in the bathroom? Are you blind?!
Xue Ling splashed water on him.
Wen Jiuze put his things down and walked out. When he stood at the door, he stopped again and tapped his tablet. He said, "No need to measure secretly. Your data is recorded every week. You can use the tablet to check it if you want."
After the show, he closed the door.
Xue Ling: “…” He held his breath and fell into the bathtub, the shark rolling.
After rolling around, he climbed up and lay down beside the bathtub, taking the shower gel that Wen Jiuze had brought him and taking a look at it.
Wow, this is actually what was produced in the Northern Base this year. It looks like the production of daily chemical products has been restored, and the world outside is getting better.
It was not just the small daily necessities that were restored. They had to leave here the next day. Xue Ling found that they were actually taking the train back to the northern base.
"Don't be so surprised. Only a small part of the high-speed rail and trains have been reopened. They are used to connect several important large bases and some special cities. Ordinary people cannot ride them yet. Only specific people can use them to perform tasks." Wen Jiuze explained and pushed her onto the platform.
There was actually a manual ticket check. The lady who checked the tickets smiled and took the two cards from Wen Jiuze with her gloved hands, checked them on a machine, and returned them to him:
"Thank you very much. If you have any questions on the train, you can go to the first carriage to find the crew. I wish you two a pleasant journey and a safe trip."
There were only a few carriages in total. In the carriage that Xue Ling was in, most of the seats had been removed, leaving only two seats in the front row. The empty space in the back was used to transport cargo.
In fact, the main function of this small number of trains and high-speed railways that have been reopened is not to carry people, but to provide transportation.
Other soldiers also boarded the train, but they were in another compartment.
Wen Jiuze took Xue Ling to a separate carriage, which was his habit. The carriage they were in was a cargo carriage, and two seats were specially reserved for them.
Xue Ling sat down at her seat and reached out to Wen Jiuze, wanting to see the card he had just taken out.
"What card is that?"
“It’s a new ID.”
"New ID? Let me see it. I have an ID too."
Xue Ling saw her name, date of birth, and registered place of residence on the card.
There is also a special mark that his identity is a member of the special operations team of Beizheng Base, and his number is S0.
Next to the words is a photo. It's not a zombie's skinny face, but a screenshot of her when she was a human.
She still remembered it was from a Polaroid photo.
Wen Jiuze's ID card was the same as hers, only the number was different. His was S9, and the photo was taken from the same Polaroid photo as hers.
She stared at the two ID cards, and Wen Jiuze told her: "The number does not represent the number of people in the team. The two of us are a separate team."
General Hao assigned them a separate organization, and the numbers were specially and concisely made using the homophones of their names.
Xue Ling looked over the two simple identity cards for a long time before handing them to Wen Jiuze.
Wen Jiuze: "Put away your self?"
Xue Ling shook her head and put the two ID cards together: "I'll give them to you for safekeeping."
The train ran for a day and a night. Although it was still much slower than before the apocalypse, it was much faster than driving by yourself.
The train basically did not stop along the way and did not pass through any major stations.
Wen Jiuze told her that there were too many zombies in the big stations, and many of them were piled on the tracks, blocking them. There were not enough staff to clear each station one by one, so they had to bypass them for the time being.
Xue Ling knew that she had been to a high-speed rail station when she was lost before. She climbed up to the platform along the tracks and looked for a map in the high-speed rail station before she figured out where she was lost.
"It has recovered very quickly. In a few years, it may be fully recovered." Xue Ling expressed his opinion optimistically.
Wen Jiuze did not respond to her words, as if he did not hear them.
After getting off the train, they still had to drive for half a day to get back to Beizheng Base.
Returning to the secret research base, it was just like the first time they came here. Xue Ling was sitting in Wen Jiuze's co-pilot seat and saw a row of serious soldiers standing guard at the door.
But this time, she knew several of the soldiers there.
So she opened the window and waved to them.
When several people saw her actions, their eyes widened and they could no longer maintain their serious expressions.
Ha ha!
The car moved forward and could no longer be seen, so Xue Ling retracted his head.
She saw Wen Yi again, who had not changed much from more than a year ago, talking to her junior sister Xu Zhihua downstairs.
Turning around, Wen Yi saw Xue Ling holding Wen Jiuze and waving vigorously. She stopped talking and stood there waiting for them to come over.
Then she took two steps forward and gave Xue Ling a brief hug.
Then she said coldly, "It just so happens that you should take care of Wen Jiuzhai. He kicked and broke seven tables in the conference room and also damaged several instruments in my laboratory."
Xue Ling: “…”
Without even a word of greeting, the next thing that came out was the victim filing a lawsuit against Wen Jiuzhai.
