"Phone?" Zhou Zhengping's face showed a look of surprise. "The call went through?!"
"It's a call from the commander of the Flame Base." The young soldier handed the phone to Zhou Zhengping.
Yue Xiwen stopped, said something to Xie Purou and turned back.
There was no need to be polite with his uncle, so he just snatched the phone away.
"Hello? I'm Yue Xiwen."
Yue Tonghai's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wenwen! Are you okay?"
As soon as I heard my daughter's voice, my heart finally settled down.
"I'm fine. The shop owner saved us." Yue Xiwen asked confidently, "You were the one who told her where I was, right?"
Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that Grape happened to come here to set up a stall when they were in danger.
Yue Tonghai was silent for a moment, then frankly said, "Yes... She asked several times if the base had contacted you."
Yue Xiwen's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected the shop owner to actually come over for her. The situation was dire. If she hadn't come, she might have died there.
The father and daughter exchanged a few words, and she handed the phone to her uncle.
Yue Xiwen walked to Xie Purou, with different emotions flashing in her eyes.
Two girls were walking down the road, holding each other's arms like little girls.
Xie Purou followed Yue Xiwen, who was a head taller than her, and always felt that the other person was hiding something.
She cleared her throat and said weakly, "Well, I'm not into lesbianism."
"What?" Yue Xiwen was stunned. She didn't expect her thoughts to be at high speed.
"I have a normal sexual orientation." Xie Purou spoke softer and softer, until her voice turned into a mosquito-like hum.
Yue Xiwen was so exhausted she almost choked on her own saliva. She coughed a few times, and when she felt a little better, she gritted her teeth and said, "My sexual orientation is also normal!"
"Then why were you looking at me with that weird look?" Xie Purou's mouth twitched. "You were even glancing at me the whole way, as if you were about to say something but hesitated."
Yue Xiwen deliberately wanted to tease her, so he suppressed his smile and looked at her with feigned affection, saying slowly, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, except to repay you with my own body."
Xie Purou held her chest, looking heartbroken: "Okay, okay, I saved you, but you repay me with evil."
The two men laughed out loud, as loud as drums.
They played and joked all the way, and soon they arrived at the nearest subway station to their current location.
Zhou Zhengping was very fast. When they entered the subway station, they saw that several entrances and exits were guarded by the base staff.
The staff guarding the subway entrance wear a badge similar to a work badge around their necks. Their work is simple and boring. From time to time, they will shake their heads and stick their heads inside to see what is inside the subway station.
"This job is so great, I'm so happy!"
"If I could work here forever, I would even be willing to live in a new building, eat fried chicken and drink beer!"
"I hope they won't replace me in the future. I love this place!"
Their job is to guard the entrances and exits. The base is not one to make things difficult for others, so since there is air conditioning inside, they let them stand inside the subway entrance and work in a place with air conditioning.
When I saw them coming, I was afraid of making them unhappy, so I stood straight and saluted them.
As soon as Yue Xiwen entered the subway station, she was overjoyed by a familiar cool breeze.
Indeed, air conditioning gives us life in the summer, while air conditioning in extreme heat costs us our lives.
Xie Pu Rou didn't feel anything. She had a protective cover on her body, and the temperature was constant at all times, so she was not interested in air conditioning.
She spent a huge amount of money to install air conditioners in the subway station. If there were no air conditioners in the underground, it would definitely be difficult for so many people to breathe, so this money could not be saved.
The interior of the subway is decorated in simple and bright gray and white tones, not much different from real subway stations. The only difference may be that it is larger.
Continue walking inside. There is no security check, but there is still a one-way door.
You need to buy a ticket to pass through the single-entry gate. The LCD screen on the single-entry gate shows that 1,000 points are required to pass once.
The round-trip price of ten crystal cores to another base is not expensive, but it is not as cost-effective as a real subway.
Xie Pu Rou was quite satisfied with the price. This way, there wouldn't be any idlers running around every day. Of course, if there was a lot of money to burn, she would also be the beneficiary.
Before Yue Xiwen paid, she waived her fare.
"Miss, the first customer is free~" Yue Xiwen came with her, so she didn't feel comfortable accepting other people's points.
"Thank you, boss~ You are so generous~" Yue Xiwen was always extra playful in front of her. In front of her, she no longer had the sharp and steady aura of the 'female general' that she had when they first met.
Someone else might be scared in the empty and bright waiting hall, but the two of them were calm and relaxed, chatting and laughing.
Yue Xiwen also praised her snowflake crisps: "Did you make this?"
"Yes, it's delicious, right?" Xie Purou smiled sweetly, revealing two small canine teeth, with a hint of arrogance in her tone.
Don’t litter. Yue Xiwen put the wrapping paper in her pocket.
"It's delicious. There are candies, cakes, and dried fruits. I've never eaten them before."
"It's sold in the B&B. If you like it, I can give you some more." When she talked about her craftsmanship in making snowflake crisps, she was absolutely proud.
I think she relied on this skill back then... Never mind, a hero never brags about his past achievements.
The subway currently has only one floor, with only trains going to and from the B&B. When they enter the subway, there is no one else but them.
Looking at the display screen above their heads, they got on the car heading directly to the B&B.
The subway continued to run normally after the doors closed. The two stopped chatting and silently estimated the travel time.
[Ding-ding-ding-ding, we've arrived at the Grape B&B station.]
Xie Pu Rou frowned her untrimmed eyebrows. The electronic voice of the report was not pleasant and she didn't like it.
She asked the system: "Can it be changed?"
【able.】
M80 took the initiative to change her voice to another one that did not require any points. It was the gentle female voice that you can hear on the subway during your commute.
"Can I change it?" When she heard this voice, she remembered her previous miserable life of punching in and out at get off work.
[Yes, but you have to pay extra.]
Another clear and gentle female voice rang out from the subway. Xie Purou said, "It suddenly sounds pleasing to my ears."
Free is the best!
There are six subway station entrances and exits near the B&B, and she picked one at random.
Before I even reached the subway exit, I heard rustling sounds coming from outside.
"Is the owner building a new building?"
"It looks like a subway entrance."
"Dude, look up, don't you see the three big words 'Subway Station' written on it?!"
"Oh, I was wondering why it looked so familiar. It turns out to be a subway station."
