Chapter 103 Potato Meal
"It's come to this, and I'm not telling you this to complain."
Jiang Chuhe put his legs down and cleared his throat. "I am different from Xie Yan. He disregards human lives, while I have been committed to saving people. However, as more and more people are rescued, the burden on the base is getting heavier. This time, so many manpower and resources have been mobilized to save you. You know what I mean."
As expected, there is no free lunch in the world. Ye Xuan understood what Jiang Chuhe meant. It was nothing more than letting them work.
"As long as it doesn't harm anyone, of course you can."
Jiang Chuhe originally wanted to spend some time talking, but he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily. He couldn't help but praise Ye Xuan: "That's right."
"You should report to the army tomorrow. There is a shortage of dormitories, so you should live with your lover."
Xia Chenxi glanced at Ye Xuan secretly and said to Jiang Chuhe, "This is not appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate? Are you not in love?"
"Let's put things one way and one way. There is only one bed in the dormitory and we two are squeezed on it..." Xia Chenxi glanced at Ye Xuan's reaction.
"If you can't squeeze in, you have to sleep on the floor. Most people have to share three people in one room. I've been very polite to people with special abilities." Jiang Chuhe's golden eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he used both kindness and force. "You helped Xie Yan with things, and I didn't drive you away. I took you in. If you keep complaining, I won't be polite to you."
The pupils glowed again.
The person in front of him is of unfathomable strength and he is also the chief. If you mess with him, you will suffer the consequences.
"Okay, got it." Ye Xuan agreed and asked Jiang Chuhe, "If you want us to do something for you, you should at least tell us what the task is."
Jiang Chuhe suppressed his supernatural power and smiled warmly, "The mission is very simple. Xie Yan has escaped. You just need to wipe out the remaining zombies and help maintain order in the city."
Ye Xuan pondered and felt something was wrong, "You mean you want to recruit us."
"Yes." Jiang Chuhe smiled sincerely this time. He had let down his guard after the previous two tests.
"You are young but quite smart. People with special abilities are rare and can greatly increase the combat capability of the army. I saw that you are promising talents, so I thought of recruiting you into the team."
Ye Xuan complained in his heart that Jiang Chuhe was the real fox and he should just say no.
"Chu He." A figure stood at the door. Ye Xuan looked in the direction of the voice. The man was very tall, with a sturdy build, and a deep face. He didn't look like a local, but with his good looks, he would be popular in any country.
Jiang Chuhe stood up and walked towards the man. The man naturally stretched out his hand to Jiang Chuhe. Jiang Chuhe held his hand and smiled at him: "Chu Lin, why are you here?"
"Chu Lin!" Ye Xuan shouted in disbelief.
Is this the Chu Lin he was thinking of?
Chu Lin glanced at Ye Xuan, then turned his gaze back to Jiang Chuhe. All his subordinates were respectful to him, except Jiang Chuhe, who was being addressed by a young boy who had just reached adulthood. He was a little dissatisfied, "Just rescued? A potential four-dimensional space-based supernatural being?"
"Well. Don't bother with the kids. They probably have seen the fakes made by Xie Yan, so they are surprised to see you. That's normal." Jiang Chuhe hooked Chu Lin's palm, telling him not to bother with Ye Xuan. He had just coaxed the two of them to help Chu Lin.
Chu Lin's dissatisfied expression faded a little, and he said, "I have already had people prepare what you asked me to do."
Jiang Chuhe turned around and smiled at the two of them: "Let's go and have a meal together."
Ye Xuan and Xia Chenxi looked at each other and saw suspicion in their eyes that they were invited to dinner as soon as they arrived.
The Hongmen Banquet?
When Ye Xuan and Xia Chenxi ate potato dishes such as steamed potatoes, baked potatoes and mashed potato rice, they realized that it was not a Hongmen Banquet at all, but just an ordinary dinner.
"I originally wanted to ask your friend to come, but he stood guard at the door of Nan Yunzhou's ward every day, and no matter how much I persuaded him, it was useless, so I gave up the idea." Jiang Chuhe asked Ye Xuan with a smile, "Are you used to the food?"
It's a bit hard to swallow, but potatoes can never be unpalatable no matter how they are cooked.
Compared with the previous "Fuxing" base, this potato dish seems to be far from impressive.
It can only be described as filling.
"It's like this here. Unlike Xie Yan, who was used to being exploited, he used capital to enrich resources for a small group of people to use and enslaved ordinary people. Here, if you want to get resources, you have to make money yourself. Men who can't find a job can choose to join the army. Women who can't find a job can go to take care of children in welfare homes to get paid. It's equivalent to ordinary people also being able to obtain resources. But also because everyone can obtain resources, the resources allocated to each person are limited. You can no longer have as much food and fish as Xie Yan's base." Jiang Chuhe calmly put a chopstick of rice into his mouth. He had long been accustomed to such a life.
The city needs to keep operating. Zombies are being cleared everywhere and everything needs to be rebuilt. Now is the time when manpower and material resources are needed. As the chief, he needs to lead by example.
He was also afraid that Ye Xuan and Xia Chenxi would bring Xie Yan's style here and make Chu Lin unhappy, and Chu Lin would be displeased and drive them away.
One is a potential user with four-dimensional space abilities and the other is a user with dual abilities, both are talents.
There were only a few people with super powers in their entire city. Because they were unable to take care of themselves in the early days, many people with super powers were scattered all over the place and were killed by zombies before they even understood their abilities.
Later they met in this city and rebuilt their armed forces. He developed biological bombs that effectively restrained zombies, allowing them to have a corner of pure land. It was because of this pure land that the number of people bitten decreased a lot, and people with special powers became even more scarce.
Ye Xuan understood what Jiang Chuhe meant. He was telling them that if they wanted to stay here, they would have to endure hardships, and even those with special abilities were no exception.
Ye Xuan is good at enduring hardships. He suffered a lot when he was a member of the reserve team. He was beaten like a pig.
"Don't worry, Chief Jiang. It is also our wish to contribute to the city and the revival of civilization."
"Okay." Jiang Chuhe raised his glass, "It's settled."
The glasses clinked together and several people drank the water in one gulp, drinking with the spirit of wine.
After the dinner, Xia Chenxi took Ye Xuan to see his unconscious parents.
Ye Xuan stroked their faces. They closed their eyes and their heartbeats were steady, as if they were asleep.
Fortunately, he was still alive, and fortunately Chen Cheng protected his parents for him.
After visiting Ye Xuan's parents, Xia Chenxi brought Ye Xuan to the cemetery. It was called a cemetery, but it was actually a garden. It became deserted after the zombie outbreak. In order to commemorate their deceased relatives, people carved their relatives' names on stones and pressed them into the soil, which was considered a monument.
When Ye Xuan saw the familiar name, he knew it was Xia Chenxi who helped him carve it.
Xia Chenxi said to Ye Xuan: "Everyone from Team B is here."
Ye Xuan stood straight and saluted the small monument in front of him.
After paying his respects, he walked to Luo Feng’s tombstone in the front and buried the short blade that Luo Feng had given him in the soil.
There is sunlight here, and Brother Feng will find this place and bring back the deceased team members.
They are not wandering ghosts, they are Ye Xuan's teammates and his family.
Their B team never gives up.
