Chapter 392 Should Dad provide the food alone?
Sheng Fei raised his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
He thought that the deputy base commander he had casually promised was a sinecure.
Moreover, it was a false promise made casually to appease the other party because they were on someone else's territory and coveted the space-time exchange.
But unexpectedly, he handed over the cleared city to him?
In fact, when the other party knew that all the players in City A had united with him, they were still able to walk in without any precautions, which already showed their sincerity.
No base is completely innocent.
Some people are greedy.
There are also relationships.
But as long as you are in a position of sufficient influence, you can make those villains helpless...
He reached out and decisively shook the hand that was extended to him, "Thank you for your trust, it's a pleasure to work with you."
…
Night falls.
This villa in the city center sparkles brightly in the pitch-black night, stubbornly fighting against the darkness with its faint light.
Laughter and joyful chatter wafted out of the villa, mixed with the aroma of hot pot.
During the past half month of fierce fighting, everyone has been eating dry food every day.
After plundering the remaining food in the city, they actually lived better than other people in the apocalypse.
But even so, in front of hot pot.
There's no comparison!
"Where's the meat? Where's my meat? Damn it, you guys can't be so cruel! I went over to get a dish, and you didn't even leave me a piece of meat!"
"Little Fatty, you just lost weight successfully, control your diet!"
"What the hell is control? Do you think I'm worthy of this name now?"
"Hahahahahahaha, then I'll call you Xiaoshou from now on?"
"You guys are here to steal the bamboo shoots!"
“…”
Compared to the group of rough men fighting over the meat next to them, the table where Sheng Fei and his family sat was much more polite.
A little girl of eight or nine years old sat there quietly.
Wearing a small birthday crown on her head.
The little girl was fair and pretty, and there wasn't much evidence of the effects of the apocalypse on her.
It’s just that pair of beautiful big eyes, with a maturity that doesn’t match her age.
She ate the food in the bowl quietly and listened to the conversations of people around her. At a certain moment, she couldn't help but turn around and quietly ask the woman next to her.
"Mom, is it really my birthday today? Are we all celebrating together?" She said in a worried voice.
The woman smiled and whispered, "Yes, but it's also because everyone drove out the zombies and restored peace to the city."
The little girl seemed relieved, but couldn't help but ask, "So, should Daddy provide the food alone?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, thinking about how to explain to her.
They did not tell their daughter about Sheng Fei's opportunity, fearing that she was too young to understand and might be tricked by someone with ulterior motives.
"Is it the same as before? Only if we give them food can they protect us?"
These uncles were very nice to her during this period.
She thought that they were different from the people in the previous base.
They don't need to pay several times the amount of food.
But today's carnival of this group of people refreshed her understanding of this period of time.
If that's really the case...
"I've been practicing martial arts to improve my physical strength and arm strength. I'll be able to hold a real gun soon! Can't we live alone like before? I can protect Mom, we don't need anyone else to protect us!"
She spoke in a serious tone, but tried to keep it low, for fear of disturbing others.
But after all, she is the birthday girl, so everyone at the table will pay special attention to her, especially the base commander, whose special ability makes his hearing particularly sharp.
He looked over and saw the little girl in a trance, as if he was looking through her to see another person.
After a few seconds, he spoke softly, "Your name is Yuanyuan, right?"
Yuanyuan turned her head and met the base commander's gentle eyes. She nodded stiffly, "Yes, uncle."
The base commander asked again, "You said you can use a gun?"
Yuanyuan realized that her whispered words had been heard, and her face turned pale for a moment.
She turned nervously and looked at Sheng Fei.
Sheng Fei smiled at her gently and nodded encouragingly.
She felt a little relieved and replied, "I can't use a real gun yet, but I practice shooting every day. I'll be able to try once my arm strength is strong enough. I won't hold the base back!"
"Good boy."
The base commander took off his service pistol and said, "I came here in a hurry, so I didn't prepare a birthday present for you. I'll give you this pistol first."
As soon as the words fell, everyone at the table fell silent.
The neighboring tables were quiet.
The Central Base Commander's sidearm?
The gun that accompanied him throughout his career, from the heyday to the end, represented his identity...
Just give it to a little girl like this?
Sheng Fei was also shocked, "Commander Lu, this is inappropriate."
"This gun has the emblem of the Central Base on it. Every base recognizes it. It's not a powerful weapon, but it can be a good amulet."
“…”
Sheng Fei's mind moved slightly and he shut up.
When it comes to his family's safety, he has never been afraid of worrying about favors or pressure.
He turned his head and nodded silently at Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan stood up and walked over, politely taking it with both hands, "Thank you, uncle, I will use it to protect you in the future!"
Captain Lu Ji rubbed her head, and his serious face melted away. "Okay, uncle will wait for the day when you pick it up."
After a brief interlude, Sheng Fei took out a few small cakes.
Simply put together.
I lit the candles I found at the cake shop and sang birthday songs to my daughter, completing the final ritual...
The melodious birthday song came from the villa, as if melting the boundless darkness.
At the edge of the city, a group of people wearing the uniforms of the Central Base ran around the edge of the city for most of the time, as if they had encountered a ghost wall.
They were a few steps behind the base and came to take over the city, but when they reached a certain point, they could not move forward.
Blocked by an invisible force.
After fighting against the force for a while and finding it was futile, they chose to take a detour.
But that force followed them like a shadow, and they circled most of the city's edge but still couldn't find a breakthrough.
"Is there a ghost in this City A?!"
"Be optimistic. I don't think it's a ghost, but a big guy! This barrier is so powerful in stopping us, so it must be invincible in stopping zombies!"
"Don't be too optimistic. We are the only ones standing in the way now, not zombies."
…
In the villa.
After eating and drinking, everyone reluctantly went back to rest.
The director of the road base just arrived today and just promised the distribution rights, so he naturally will not interfere in urban management.
But his non-intervention does not mean he has no sense of crisis.
Seeing that everyone had returned to their rooms, and those who had not returned were lying directly on the sofa in the living room, he frowned and called Sheng Fei and Captain Feng.
"Although the city has been cleared of zombies, we still need to prevent invading zombies. Do we need to arrange patrols?"
Captain Feng said nothing and turned to look at Sheng Fei.
Sheng Fei replied, "No, I will explain the details to you tomorrow."
Captain Lu Ji was skeptical, but finally said silently, "Well, all of you should get some rest. The people who will take over the city should be arriving soon, so we can put them on patrol."
Sheng Fei looked at him with a subtle expression, "You mean, someone from headquarters will come tonight?"
Just now when he blew out the candles, he felt a group of sneaky forces attacking the energy barrier.
Not a single spot was opened, and the attack continued in circles of 360 degrees.
So those are all people from headquarters?
Captain Lu Ji nodded and looked at his watch. "It should be time. If you're not in a hurry, I'll introduce you and then go to rest."
Sheng Fei was silent for a moment, "They shouldn't arrive that soon."
Captain Lu Ji, "???"
