Chapter 261 Another New Year's Eve
"More often than not, it's the people's hearts that are in turmoil!" Ye Jin asked, "Does Chief Xu want to choose Changzhou?"
Xuzhou Yun shook his head. He just thought that unification would be better, but it didn’t mean he would support Changzhou.
"If Elder Gu were still alive, we at the Southern Base would be more inclined to his views," Xu Zhouyun said. "No one from the nation's top leadership survived the apocalypse. If Elder Gu were still alive, he'd have the most seniority. This time, we're here to understand the situation at the Capital Base. The factions within the command center are too complicated."
Ye Jin was silent. She always felt that it was unlikely that General Gu would survive, unless he had something that others wanted.
Ye Jin asked, "Are the people from the Northwest Base willing to obey the Capital Base?"
Xu Zhouyun nodded: "It's not just the Northwest Base, other small bases are like this."
For those base commanders, who wants to be bound by constraints when they can be their own masters?
"Captain Ye, I didn't get to meet General Gu this time. We'll have to wait until next time. When you see him, remember to say hello for me."
Ye Jin said, "Okay."
After seeing Xuzhou Yun off, Ye Jin also went to ask Lao Gao, and Lao Gao also said that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
…
Zhang Yue looked at the scorching sun in the sky and sighed, "Alas, there will be no winter in the future?"
The weather has been hot all year long, and it is still hot in February now.
"Boss, Changzhou has been using us and Minister Li's people to snatch tasks from us." The fat man said, "Should we still do it?"
"Just do it as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Don't take it too seriously." Ye Jin lamented that Changzhou's methods were really quick. After the auction, only half a month later, three ministers were removed from the command center. One was for dereliction of duty, and two were assassinated!
"Boss, today is New Year's Day, and Changzhou has sent Yu Ruanruan to distribute supplies. Now Yu Ruanruan is highly praised by the people without special abilities, and they believe her words without a doubt."
Changzhou’s mission for Wen Xinning is to care for the common people in every possible way, giving them whatever they need and brainwashing them at the same time.
"Now everyone at the lower levels is praising Changzhou, and some are even encouraging the election of base chiefs, starting with the outer third line."
"Changzhou's ambitions are clearly undisguised." Ye Jin sneered, "Is there anything else going on?"
Changzhou sounds very famous in the base, and that's all because he can mobilize momentum. The civilians without special abilities in the outer three lines can't make too many decisions. What really matters is the ideas of the people with special abilities in the inner three lines and other small factions. He is still far from reaching the top overnight.
"Yes!" said the fat man, "More people are missing from the outer third line."
Because Ye Jin said that he wanted to observe the dynamics of the underground people in Changzhou, Fatty found that the people in the third outer line were the ones who flattered him the most, so he kept a close eye on them.
"Who are the missing people?" The security of the outer third line is under the jurisdiction of Changzhou.
"Most of them are middle-aged men." The fat man guessed: "Boss, Yang Shuhuai has powerful subordinates in Changzhou. Could they be conducting some experiments again?"
"They do experiments all the time, not just for the time being." As far as Ye Jin knew, not only in Changzhou, but also in several departments of the base, they were doing some research privately, but Changzhou had the most research results.
"Changzhou is really willing to spend money." Research is the most wasteful of money. When the fat man was chatting with his subordinates in Changzhou, he found out that the money that Changzhou's departments spent on research every month was like water. Therefore, other subordinates in Changzhou were also dissatisfied.
Ye Jin sneered, saying that he was just thinking of evil intentions. Since Professor Li was not here, she could not ask anyone to help check the ingredients of X3, but she could feel that the X3 antidote was different from the X2 antidote.
It's New Year's Eve again.
This year the Chinese New Year is celebrated late, with New Year’s Eve not until February of the Gregorian calendar.
After the lively reunion dinner downstairs, Ye Jin looked at the moon outside the window of her room.
The moon above my head was bright and round. The moon in this month had never been so round before. Suddenly, snow began to fall from the sky.
Ye Jin opened the window and reached out to catch it. The scene of Gu Jingzheng saying that he wanted to spend the New Year with her last year flashed through her mind again.
"Liar!" She was here on New Year's Eve this year, but he disappeared!
"Wow! So beautiful!" Zhang Yue ran out in her skirt: "Brother, Sister Yiyi, Sister Xiaoting, it's snowing outside!"
"Oh! Really?" Zhang Yiyi and Shen Yuting, who were still helping Aunt Chen clean the table, came out.
“I thought it wouldn’t snow this year!”
"Yeah, the sun is still so bright during the day!"
"Xiaoyue, come in quickly. I'll help you put on some clothes." Zhang Yiyi said, "Don't catch a cold."
