Chapter 092 Chapter 92 Top Three
Soon, vending machines were installed throughout the base.
The base space is limited, and it is impossible to set up a vending machine downstairs in every building, so vending machines are set up one in each area.
When the vending machines were put into use, there were crowds of people in front of each vending machine.
In front of the vending machine in District 13, Xiang Siguo took the lead. When the vending machine was tested, he immediately rushed to the nearest purchase slot and stuffed his point coin card into the card slot.
Xiang Siguo was extremely excited after successfully occupying a position.
The main branch of Happiness Hotel and its four branches are far away from where Xiang Siguo lives and works. In addition, she is not very lucky, so even after the restaurant has been open for so long, she has not been able to eat instant noodles, let alone rice balls and pancakes.
Up to now, I have only eaten the food distributed to everyone at the base.
But there was only one kind of food that day, not to mention that since the mutant beasts approached the base, the base was on full alert, and the distribution of food to everyone in the base was stopped, and it has not been restored until now.
Now the main store no longer sells food, and only the branches are left, so she can't buy food anymore.
Even though she had nutrient solution to fill her stomach during this period, she still felt very uncomfortable. Her mouth kept secreting saliva, and she even drooled uncontrollably when she spoke.
The reason why Xiang Siguo was able to be the first to occupy the purchasing position this time was because her former captain revealed the news to her. Therefore, she had already known that the base was going to install vending machines, and she also knew the specific location in District 13.
Therefore, Xiang Siguo had been waiting here early. She was standing very close, so she naturally occupied a position.
Xiang Siguo browsed the video names and images on the screen and couldn't help swallowing. He felt that everything was delicious and he wanted to try it all.
This time she got a good seat and was able to buy food, but next time she didn’t know when it would be her turn.
Therefore, if you can buy it now, you should buy more and stock up.
Xiang Siguo directly chose a hundred bags of instant noodles, then braised eggs, chicken legs, ham, bread, and milk...
She had enough points in her card, so she spent money without hesitation on purchases.
"Ding - the daily spending limit for a single card is 100 points. Please purchase again." A mechanical prompt sounded at the purchase counter where Xiang Siguo was standing.
Xiang Siguo was stunned, "Huh?"
What's going on? Quota?
The people behind her also heard the limit reminder and originally wanted to buy more food at once, but now it was like a bucket of cold water poured over them, chilling them to the core.
But 100 coins is not a small amount, and can buy a lot of things. It’s better than before.
The people behind him looked at Siguo, who was still stunned and standing at the purchase counter without moving, and urged him, "It's a limit, just buy less. Hurry up!"
Xiang Siguo came back to his senses and deleted the things he had planned to buy with some frustration.
Because he only had 100 points to use, Xiang Siguo sighed and bought ten boiled eggs and ten bags of instant noodles, which used up 50 points and left him with 50 points.
Xiang Siguo browsed for a long time and finally bought five bags of hot and sour noodles for thirty coins and ten bags of potato chips for twenty coins.
This time, Xiang Siguo successfully purchased the goods, and soon her braised egg instant noodles, hot and sour noodles and potato chips were all delivered to the pickup port.
The pickup hatch is open.
When Xiang Siguo saw so much food, the depression in his heart disappeared. He took out his food with shining eyes, took out the coin card and quickly went home.
“Ahhhh… I want to eat instant noodles! I can finally eat instant noodles!!!”
He ran towards Siguo, and the people behind him immediately went over to insert their cards and start choosing products.
The people further back in the queue were thinking about what food they wanted to buy while looking impatiently ahead. When they saw the people in front of them standing at the purchasing entrance struggling for a long time without buying anything, they would rush in and keep shouting to urge them to buy.
For a moment, the entire base was in an uproar.
Although it was noisy, the mental state of everyone in the base was obviously much better than before. They were more rational now. Although they were anxious and noisy, they no longer started fighting over a disagreement.
*
An Qing really didn't expect that the method of expanding the base would be like this.
She had now left the base with Wei Xunyi and the newly appointed guard team, and was standing in the open space between the outer wall of the base and the canyon wall. The people from the Ministry of Construction were planning and scoping.
At this time, Minister Niu of the Ministry of Construction looked at An Qing with great resentment: "Base Director, we have enough materials now. If we had a large enough area, we could at least expand the current base by two or three times."
An Qing: "..."
She looked at the current base and to be honest, it was really attractive to be able to expand it to two or three times its original size.
The base has been expanded, the area has become larger, and the people living in the base can live more comfortably.
She shook her head and said, "Another location is out of the question, at least not right now. It's too dangerous."
Seeing An Qing's stubborn attitude, Niu Liang couldn't help but sigh and looked at the canyon with sadness.
An Qing walked to the edge of the mountain wall and reached out to touch it.
The Daxing Mountains stretch out to a great distance, but this mountain is completely rocky, without a single blade of grass or tree on it, and it is very hard.
In fact, several exits of the base are roads dug out from the mountains.
An Qing pounded on it a few times with her fist, then suddenly said, "Minister Niu, what do you say about us carving out a space in this mountain to build a base?"
Minister Niu was still feeling down, and was somewhat surprised to hear this. He looked at An Qing, then at the Daxing Mountain wall, frowning and saying, "Although the Daxing Mountain range is rocky, it has always been well-maintained. The base has been established here for a hundred years, and there has never been a landslide. But... if we dig a hole through it, I'm worried that the rocky mountain will become unstable and there may be a risk of collapse or landslide."
He looked at An Qing and said, "After all, if we want to build a base, we can't just dig a small path like we do when digging a tunnel. We need to carve out a large space."
An Qing was a little surprised. Could a rocky mountain actually have a landslide?
She had never known about this situation before, so she really didn't understand. Upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "I understand."
Minister Niu's frown gradually relaxed, and his originally tense heart settled back into his chest.
An Qing looked at the mountain wall with some regret. In fact, she thought that digging a cave on the mountain wall to build a base was the best option and would be safer.
But if it is easy to cause the collapse of the three bodies, I really don’t believe it.
It would be great if the mountain could be reinforced.
What a pity, it would have been better if one of her or Tang Ming had awakened the earth-related ability.
"Minister Niu, how long will it take to expand the base?" An Qing asked. The base expansion had started for several days, but the Ministry of Construction was still measuring and calculating, and had not yet actually started construction.
Minister Niu: "The calculations took some time, but once the location is confirmed it will be quick, and it can be completed in about two or three days."
An Qing was truly surprised. Although she knew the speed at which the people in the base were expanding, she had never expected the entire base to be expanded so quickly. She subconsciously questioned, "So fast?"
Minister Niu nodded and said proudly, "Preparations for expansion were made when the base was first established, so the outer walls of the base are spliced together. When expanding, we can open the joints inside and expand the walls outwards."
An Qing: "..."
"So, we need to prepare the walls for the expansion area in advance, and we need to calculate carefully, without any error." Minister Niu was very proud: "We have almost finished the calculations, and we should be able to start construction tomorrow."
An Qing also admired him very much.
After learning about the situation of the expansion base, An Qing took his men back.
She first went back to the office to process the documents. She was already very familiar with them, so she scanned the documents at a glance. If there were no problems, she would sign her name below.
The documents that came to her were basically reports submitted by various departments. She only needed to take a look and understand them. An Qing could read these documents relatively quickly.
As for those documents related to applying for something, An Qing read them more slowly. She needed to read them carefully to understand what the other party meant and what was needed.
After the documents were processed, it was already dark. The processed documents were handed over to Wei Xunyi, and An Qing left with her guards with light steps.
After a few days of observation, An Qing found that Li Yu was really stable, serious and responsible.
Everyone else has their own personality, but because they are in this world, the differences in everyone's personality are not very big, but you can still see the differences if you observe carefully.
Perhaps because of the brainwashing education they received in the base since childhood, after these ten people were selected as her guards, they became loyal to her without any hypocrisy.
An Qing observed carefully and found that these people were very simple in a sense, even simpler than her, who came from a peaceful world. She could tell what they were thinking at a glance.
In front of her, they were like a blank piece of paper, just like she was in front of people like Song Minguo and Wei Xunyi. She could tell what was written on it at a glance.
However, this is a good thing for An Qing. She doesn't have to spend time thinking about how to cultivate their loyalty.
An Qing did not take anyone back to Building No. 1, but instead went to the training base.
As her guard team, Li Yu and her team also have a training room of their own.
Li Yu watched An Qing walk towards the training base and was a little confused: "Base Commander, what are we doing here?"
The training base is naturally used for training, but Li Yu feels that if it is just for training, there is no need for An Qing to come with them.
An Qing walked to the door of their training room and raised her chin: "Open the door."
Li Yu walked over and opened the door of the training room.
An Qing walked in first and turned on the lights in the training room.
Although the others were also confused, they followed him in.
The door to the training room closed. An Qing said, "Line up."
Li Yu and others immediately lined up in a row, standing straight, waiting for An Qing to speak.
An Qing glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "You have behaved very well during this period."
Li Yu's face suddenly turned red. Although she was praised and felt happy, she actually felt that this group of people had been idle around An Qing these days, doing nothing and even reducing their training time.
On the contrary, because they were with An Qing, their food quality improved greatly and they could eat a lot of delicious food every day, which made Li Yu feel that they were incompetent.
Hearing An Qing's arrival, Li Yu hurriedly said, "Thank you for the compliment, Base Commander. We haven't done anything these past few days."
An Qing smiled: "You are my guard team. It is your duty to protect my safety diligently. You just need to provide good protection and prevent emergencies."
"You didn't have the chance to attack me, which means I'm safe and sound. That's a good thing."
"Of course, I also hope that you won't be careless just because I'm not in danger right now. You need to stay alert at all times and react immediately to resolve any danger I might face."
"Yes!" Li Yu and others immediately became serious and answered seriously.
An Qing nodded in satisfaction: "I brought you to the training room today to let you compete with each other and decide the winner."
Huang Jian scratched his head, eager to try. "Base Captain, can the winner be the captain?"
An Qing looked at him, rubbing his hands excitedly, and was speechless for a moment. After a while, she said, "Captain Li is doing very well so far. I have no plans to change the captain for the time being."
Huang Jian suddenly felt a little dispirited.
An Qing: "In this competition, the top three people will each receive a bottle of Body Tempering Spirit Liquid."
Hearing this, Zhong Yiji's eyebrows moved and he looked at An Qing: "Base Commander, what is the Body Tempering Spirit Liquid?"
An Qing: "Drinking this Body Tempering Spiritual Fluid will remove impurities from your body, strengthen your flesh, blood, bones, and tendons, and increase your physical fitness and strength by 2-3 times its original value."
As she finished speaking, she could clearly feel the gazes of the ten people looking at her become extremely hot.
They have been learning body-building techniques since they were young, and they participate in large and small competitions in the training camp every year. They all have a desire to become stronger. How could they not be excited when they heard her words?
Even though Li Yu, who has always been stable in all aspects and even more stable in character, is now looking at An Qing with burning eyes, and is so excited that she wants to compete with her teammates immediately.
