Chapter 090 Chapter 90 Welcome Base Commander
Geng Nannan worked the night shift last night and yawned loudly when she walked out of the neonatal development center early this morning.
All the newborns born in the breeding center recently were concentrated in these few days. Everyone in the breeding center was exhausted. At this moment, Geng Nannan's eyelids were drooping. She felt that she could fall asleep on the spot if she closed her eyes.
After changing clothes, Geng Nannan washed her face with cold water to clear her mind.
After a tiring night, she was already starving, but she had a whole day to rest after working the night shift, so it would be a shame not to go to the restaurant to eat something delicious, so she didn't drink the nutrient solution.
Her stomach rumbling, Geng Nannan hurried towards the restaurant branch.
The Happiness Hotel is currently producing food like dried meat, so it is not open for business. If you want to eat there, you can only go to the branch.
At first, the branch only had instant noodles, but later they added self-heating rice, self-heating hot pot, hot and sour noodles, snail noodles and other foods, so the choices became more diverse.
After eating too much instant noodles, Geng Nannan felt a little sick of it. She felt that it was not as delicious as when she first tried it. She had also eaten self-heating hot pot several times. She was amazed at the beginning, but after a few times, it felt just so-so.
The same goes for self-heating rice, although there are many flavors...how should I put it.
Geng Nannan sighed. If she didn't eat it, she would miss it, but when she put it in her mouth, she felt like something was missing.
As she walked towards the nearest branch, she was thinking about what she would eat.
At first, she also thought that snail noodles were very smelly, and the smell was like that of biological weapons, which was unpleasant. But many people like to eat snail noodles, and gradually she got used to the smell and it didn't feel that bad anymore.
However, she had never eaten snail noodles before. After hesitating for a while, Geng Nannan decided not to eat it for now and try it later when she really had nothing else to eat.
Let’s have hot and sour noodles today.
When Geng Nannan arrived at the branch, as expected, she saw a long queue outside the branch.
Since the opening of the Happiness Hotel branch, it is normal to have a long queue at the door, and it is abnormal to have no one.
Just a while ago, when mutant beasts were heading towards the base and the entire base was on alert, there were few people outside the branch. During this period, the mutant beasts outside were controlled, and after the danger to the base was lifted, more people came to the restaurant to eat.
Geng Nannan walked over quickly and stood at the back of the line. As soon as she stood still, there were a few more people behind her.
Standing in the queue, Geng Nannan walked forward with the team. Not long after, she felt something was wrong.
Isn't the speed of moving forward quite fast?
You know, when people lined up in the past, the queue moved very slowly and it took a long time to move one position.
Geng Nannan leaned forward to look, but because there were too many people in front of her, she couldn't see what was going on.
The woman behind Geng Nannan also leaned forward to look: "Hey, what's going on today? The people in front are eating very fast."
Geng Nannan glanced back at the person behind her. She didn't recognize him, but she nodded in agreement. "I thought we'd have to wait in line for more than two hours, but at this rate, it seems we won't have to."
The man in front of Geng Nannan said, "It's not that the people in front eat faster, it's that they can just go and get their food, pay for it, and take it home to eat."
Geng Nannan was stunned. The women behind her were also surprised and looked at the man: "Take it back to eat?"
The man nodded. "I just came from the restaurant entrance and saw a lot of metal boxes there, about the same size as the self-heating rice boxes. Someone filled the boxes with rice and vegetables, then covered them and put them aside. We lined up, took a box, and then went to the other side to pay with some coins."
Geng Nannan: "I was wondering why it was so fast. So that's how it is... Actually, I think instant noodles and other things can be sold like this. More people can buy them, and they won't have to wait so long..."
The woman behind her nodded. "I think so too. It's totally fine to eat it at home. You'll know how to make instant noodles after watching it once. It's also easier and faster to make it yourself."
The man in front smiled and said, "Soon you'll be able to buy some and make your own."
Geng Nannan and the others looked at the man in confusion.
The man smiled and said, "I'm going to the laboratory warehouse to help load the truck. Can you guess what I'm going to load?"
"What is it?" the woman behind Geng Nannan asked curiously.
As the three of them talked, many people came over and listened attentively.
Man: "Vending machine."
Geng Nannan was surprised: "Vending machine? Is it a machine that can automatically sell things without people?"
"Ah, I know about this. I heard that before the apocalypse, people had a lot of convenience in shopping. Besides supermarkets and convenience stores, there were also vending machines."
"So there will be vending machines in the base as well?"
The man nodded. "Yes, I heard that the senior leader ordered the research institute to do it so that everyone can buy food. I heard from the people in the institute that a lot of vending machines have been made, and when the time comes, they will set up vending machines at regular intervals throughout the base..."
Hearing this, Geng Nannan reminded: "It's the base commander. The leader said that we should call her the base commander from now on."
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Ah, I'm used to calling you that, and I can't change it in a short time."
Someone nearby noticed the topic had veered off topic and hurriedly asked, "Hey, hey, hey, let's talk about the vending machines first. Is this true? There really are vending machines at the base?"
The man nodded. "Indeed. They will be loaded onto trucks and shipped to various locations around the base this afternoon. The locations for the vending machines are already prepared."
"Ahhh, that's great. This way I can eat delicious food every day?"
“I really hope the vending machines can be installed right away!”
While a group of people were chattering, the team had already walked forward a long distance, and it would soon be Geng Nannan and the others' turn.
Sure enough, someone in front was constantly putting rice and green and white vegetables into a metal box.
The people who served the rice and packed the dishes were very fast. There were many packed metal boxes piled on the table. Whoever's turn it was could just take a box and leave.
The man in front of Geng Nannan took the box and went to pay the bill. Geng Nannan also took a box of food and couldn't help but look at the big bucket of vegetables over there.
"Excuse me, what kind of dish is this?"
The person in charge of the main course looked at Geng Nannan and knocked the large spoon on the edge of the bucket, making two bangs. "This is stir-fried cabbage. Take your lunch box and go over there to pay. Don't block up here."
Geng Nannan said "oh".
She walked quickly towards the bill payment area.
The complicated person who collected the money swiped Geng Nannan's card. When returning the card, he reminded her, "A plate of rice and a plate of stir-fried cabbage aren't expensive. The reason they're so high this time is mainly because of this lunch box. Remember to wash and put the lunch box away after you finish eating. Next time you come to get your meal, bring your own lunch box, and I won't charge you for the extra lunch box."
Geng Nannan listened carefully and nodded after listening: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
After walking a little further with her lunch box, Geng Nannan looked at the metal box in her hand and asked, "Is this stir-fried cabbage?"
Geng Nannan swallowed her saliva. The area where the food was served was filled with the aroma of fried cabbage and the rich fragrance of rice.
She stood aside and opened the lid of the lunch box. Half of it was rice and the other half was fried cabbage.
The rice was pressed into a very firm square shape, and the cabbage on the other side was juicy and oily, which looked very appetizing.
The rice and cabbage were still hot. Geng Nannan quickly covered the lunch box and ran towards home.
When she got home, Geng Nannan's roommates had not returned yet. She quickly opened the lid of the lunch box, picked up the spoon and started eating.
Fresh rice is very fragrant and delicious, much better than self-heating rice.
The same goes for stir-fried cabbage.
She had eaten self-heating rice with stir-fried cabbage and meat before. How should I put it, the stir-fried cabbage and meat in the self-heating rice was really hard to describe.
The cabbage was soft and had no texture, and the meat in the stir-fried cabbage with meat was not in chunks, but it looked like some meat sauce was squeezed into the cabbage.
Of course, the taste is still good, but it will be greasy if you eat too much.
Geng Nannan squinted her eyes and enjoyed the fragrant rice and the crispy, tender and juicy cabbage.
Delicious, really delicious!
After a while, Geng Nannan had eaten up the whole box of food. Her stomach was full of food. She felt very satisfied and lay lazily on her bed, not wanting to move.
After a while, Geng Nannan got up, washed the lunch box and saved it for next time.
After washing the lunch box, Geng Nannan moved around for a while to help digest the food before falling onto the bed and falling into a deep sleep.
She seemed to have had a good dream. She had a smile on her face and her lips were smacking unconsciously.

With the help of Song Minguo and Wei Xunyi, An Qing gradually understood and mastered this base.
Now she has the ability to protect herself, especially after awakening her superpowers. Her physical fitness has increased several times after taking the body-tempering spiritual liquid. It can be said that no one can hurt her now, let alone take her life.
Therefore, the Fire Team no longer needs to protect her and can do what they should do.
Muchen's mental problems have eased a lot now, his indicators have been declining, and now he has returned to the safety line, so under An Qing's arrangement, he returned to the outbound team.
Tang Ming also led the Fire Team and other special teams to take turns going outside the base to deal with the mutant animals that followed one after another.
The field team, the special team, and the security department are the only three armed forces of the base. Even if An Qing is stupid, she knows that she needs to control these three armed forces in her own hands.
So she hoped that Mu Chen and Tang Ming could be appointed as the chief instructors of the field team and the special team respectively.
At the same time, An Qing also planned to train a team by herself.
At this time, An Qing was followed by Zhou Jing, and the two of them came to the training camp together.
The chief instructor of the training camp was informed of An Qing's arrival, and he brought people to wait at the entrance of the training camp early.
The chief instructor stood in front, followed by the deputy chief instructor, and behind him was a neatly arranged team of instructors.
As soon as An Qing arrived, the chief instructor walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Base Commander, welcome to our training camp for inspection. Please come in."
"Hello, Base Commander, welcome." The deputy chief instructor said with a smile.
The instructors also shouted in unison: "Hello, Base Commander, welcome, Base Commander!"
