The next day.
The sun rises early in the summer, and at one o'clock in the morning, it is already bright outside.
A thousand civilians and four hundred soldiers were ready to go and gathered outside the wall.
Work has begun on building the wall around Ling County.
The people who came out to work saw that a group of people had just gone out a few days ago, and there was another big movement today. They wondered if a large number of monsters had appeared nearby again.
Before leaving, Wei Xiyin took the time to meet with the Cheng brothers.
There’s not much to say about the trip to Anping. I’ve already seen the result, and I can roughly guess how it went.
Wei Xiyin saw them and had other instructions.
"I don't know how long it will take me to return. You two should select some useful recruits and obey Mr. Qu's orders."
Cookie has just arrived, and the next step is to choose a site and build land. He also needs people to find raw materials for making explosives. He can't do without someone around to use them.
Wei Xiyin thought of the young man who followed Qu Qi around in Zaoqiang, and added, "Tell Mr. Qu that if there are any talented people he can recruit on his own."
Cheng Xiu and Cheng Qing accepted the order and said, "Yes!"
Wei Xiyin didn't waste any time. After leaving a few letters regarding the follow-up matters, he led his men away with Gong Liulang.
The dock is particularly deserted today.
With the large number of people leaving and those who went out to work, there were few people left in the entire dock.
Xie Ruian changed into a women's blouse, combed her hair into the twisted style popular among young ladies nowadays, and then inserted a wooden hairpin she made herself.
After packing up, she mustered up the courage to walk out the door and prepare to go to the institute to be on duty.
The girl is right, there is no need to hide.
So what if she is a woman.
Xie Ruian didn't know why, but the look of horror in Aunt Wang's eyes when he asked her to alter his clothes suddenly flashed through his mind.
They got along well together in the underground palace before, and after moving back to the surface, as the population grew, there were almost several families living in one yard.
Xie Ruian then changed places and continued to be neighbors with Aunt Wang's family.
At first, Aunt Wang didn't understand what was going on and thought she had some special hobby, so she refused to help her no matter what.
Xie Ruian was helpless. "Aunt Wang, why don't you take a closer look and see how I look like a man?"
In the past few days, she no longer spoke in a low voice and walked with her back straight. However, there were some big and strong people around her, so no one noticed anything unusual.
Aunt Wang looked her up and down with a doubtful look in her eyes. She seemed to be shocked and it took her a long time to accept the fact that she was a woman.
Aunt Wang brought the altered clothes last night.
It's been too long since I last wore women's clothes.
Xie Ruian felt uncomfortable all over, and she could only comfort herself in her heart that she would get used to it after wearing it more often.
Walk across the dock suspension bridge.
There was a bustling bustle of activity inside the walls.
The people built houses at a very fast speed. The area in front of the fort changed almost every day. The original fields were replaced by groups of houses, and the ridges of the fields became flat paths ten feet wide.
Many people pushed carts back and forth transporting materials needed for building houses.
When meeting someone he knew from the past, Xie Ruian greeted them calmly.
The man responded subconsciously.
Only after the person had gone far away did he react and belatedly muttered, "Who is that young lady? She looks familiar..."
Xie Ruian came to the institute.
The guard at the door confirmed the identity with a look of surprise, and when he confirmed that the young lady in front of him was indeed the familiar young master Xie, he couldn't help but gasp.
Everyone's mental state was impacted without exception. Xie Ruian stayed in the institute for more than half a month and became familiar with the guards on duty.
The young man who used to be close to him suddenly turned into a beautiful young lady...
I feel terrible!
The only one who remained calm was Chu Yu.
He went to the first floor to check the fat man's research records from last night. He caught a glimpse of Xie Ruian coming in and said calmly, "The girl left a message for you. The letter is in your room. Go and take a look."
Xie Ruian saluted and said, "Thank you for letting me know, sir."
The letters left by Wei Xiyin were all kept in the research institute, and the matters they contained were not important.
One is to let Xie Ruian persuade Chu Yu to transfer Ji Dalang to observe plants.
It just so happens that they are also in need of a recorder for mutant plants.
She had read the research records written by Ji Yao. Even though he was terrified and tormented every day, the fat boy's research reports were still written very well.
Proof that he really did his job well.
I'm just a little timid, often startled by zombies and unable to concentrate. Sometimes my thoughts are scattered and my writing is incoherent, and I need to read word by word to understand the content.
Moreover, they were about to recruit new people, and he was shouting in the institute all day long, which might easily affect others.
Wei Xiyin didn't want to bury such a talent. It took half a month to adapt, which proved that Ji Dalangjun was not suitable for zombie research.
As for why she didn't mention it to Chu Yu in person, the letter didn't say. Xie Ruian said that she didn't know about the girl and Mr. Chu...
Second, leave another test paper.
Let Xie Ruian go to the blacksmith shop and ask Wei Ting to notify the clan to organize all female members to participate in the researcher assessment to screen out those who are suitable for literary careers.
After the assessment is over, those who are useful can be directly recruited into the institute, and the rest will be arranged when she comes back.
The daughter of the Wei family received a noble education since childhood, and reading and writing were the basics.
Just like what she said to Xiao Gu Qiu.
Learning martial arts is not the only way out.
The original intention was just to train everyone, not to force them to go out and kill zombies. The most important thing is to find what suits them.
But time is too tight right now, and Wei Xiyin can't squeeze out time to have a good chat with her cousins.
Originally, Wei Xiyin could have directly informed Mingjingtang to make the arrangements, but the female personnel recruited after the assessment needed someone to guide them to familiarize themselves with the work first.
It is not convenient to hand this matter over to Chu Yu. He is often not in the institute due to his busy schedule. Besides, there are differences between men and women, so it is not convenient to directly instruct the female family members on some matters.
Although Xie Ruian has not yet expressed her choice, as a woman who is familiar with the affairs of the institute, she is the most suitable person to lead the new researcher.
Just be a team leader for the time being, be responsible for the personnel management of the institute, and help Chu Yu share some of the miscellaneous work.
After Xie Ruian read the letter over and over again, she thought about it and went out to find Mr. Chu.
Ji Dalangjun left the research institute with dark circles under his eyes and unsteady steps. Only Chu Yu was in the room where the zombies were imprisoned.
After dawn, the two zombies in the cage looked like Ji Yao who had just walked out. They seemed to have been drained of their energy and vitality, and they were pulling the cage at a slower speed than at night.
Chu Yu sat opposite the two zombies and read the report at a glance.
Xie Ruian came in, thinking about how to start the conversation. It would be bad if he said something wrong and caused a rift between the girl and Mr. Chu.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yu didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "How could I not know what the girl is thinking? Starting tomorrow, Mr. Ji will be transferred to plant research."
