Chapter 123 Mountains and Bases
Long Cong'an happened to have his back to the car window and turned his head to follow Gu Zhiyu to report the situation, so he did not see the situation outside the car.
He was stunned when he heard the boss's sudden request.
We were just talking about the benefactor, why did Mr. Gu change his mind so quickly? He suddenly asked him to follow a van...
However, as a senior special assistant, he responded quickly and did as he was told.
Start your car, turn off your lights, and follow the car in front of you at a distance.
Annan planned to sneak into Erkui's brother's base, so he drove a low-profile car today.
Her original habit was to turn on the air conditioner as soon as she got in the car.
But Fugui hadn't been out to breathe fresh air for a long time. As soon as he sat in the passenger seat, he started to pull the car window excitedly, and even the seat belt couldn't stop him.
Annan had no choice but to open the car window.
The dog immediately sniffed happily.
Dogs perceive the outside world through their noses, so many dogs like to feel the fast wind outside the car window when the car is moving.
There are all kinds of smells and information in the wind. For dogs, it is just like watching short videos for people, novel and happy.
Fugui stuck out his tongue and sniffed around excitedly.
After sniffing a few times, it tilted its head in confusion.
Huh? Why do I smell something familiar...
It stuck its head out and took a deep breath of air. As it did so, it couldn't help but wag its tail.
This smell is... handsome brother!
Where is it??
From the car parked at the back, Long could clearly see the dog's head sticking out of the passenger's car.
He couldn't help but frown.
Isn’t this my benefactor’s nymphomaniac puppy?
No wonder Mr. Gu asked him to follow this car, it turned out that the person inside was Miss Annan.
He glanced at his boss's expression in the rearview mirror, unsure of what he meant, and continued to follow the car in front in silence.
But then they saw the dog's head suddenly turned around and stretched towards them.
Long Cong'an's palms were slightly sweaty.
Is a dog's nose so sensitive?
He couldn't help but move a little further away.
Fortunately, there is no electricity now, and the street lights on both sides of the street are not on. The only light source on the street is Miss Annan’s car lights.
Their car successfully disappeared into the darkness.
He couldn't turn on the headlights and didn't dare get too close, so he could only drive forward in the dark, relying on the residual light from the car in front.
I couldn't help but sigh as I drove.
Tracking is also a technical job!
Annan saw that the dog was inexplicably excited, with its entire body almost leaning out. Fearing that it would fall, he quickly pulled it back and rolled up the car window.
"Fugui, I've almost used up all the fresh air. I'll close the window and turn on the air conditioner."
Fugui immediately groaned in dissatisfaction.
Annan ignored it and turned on the air conditioner.
The air in the car quickly cooled down.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the window was open and the car was going fast, the wind blowing in was hot because the temperature was too high.
Seeing that his protest was futile, Gouzi sank down on his seat in frustration.
Annan glanced at its little appearance, smiled and gave it a slap on the head.
"Silly dog! I'm just closing the window, why are you acting like you're heartbroken..."
After driving for two hours, the car finally arrived at Jing'an District.
Jing'an District is located in the southernmost part of Linbei City. It has good greenery and is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, so many villa areas have been built there.
The richest people in Linbei City all live in the villas in the hillside, while other wealthy households are mostly concentrated in Jing'an District.
However, the rich people here are not as lucky as those who live in villas halfway up the mountain.
Their home was completely submerged by the flood in just a few days, and they had no choice but to abandon it and seek refuge in another high-rise property.
My current situation is probably no different from that of other residents in the high-rise residential area.
Although everything in these vacant villas has been abandoned, there are still people willing to clean them up and move in.
For example, the base she was going to.
The base where Erkui's brother is located is in a villa area in Jing'an District.
The view there is wide, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it a perfect place to locate a base.
Annan drove straight to the base.
At this time, two long queues had formed outside the gate of the villa area, one for people and one for cars.
There are four big characters "Mountain and Base" hung on the gate.
There was also a loud speaker that played a message in a loop: "Those who want to join the base must hand in 10 kilograms of food each."
Annan raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Is this base so popular?
She remembered that in her previous life, joining the official base only required five kilograms of food, and many people, including herself at that time, could not afford it.
And this private base requires ten kilograms of food to join, yet there is still a long queue?
But I can understand it.
Joining the base will provide you with an extra guarantee for survival.
Outside, if you can't find supplies, you will starve to death.
However, as long as you enter the base, you can work for the base and receive basic wages and rations. This is equivalent to having a minimum guarantee.
Even if the salary is just a bowl of thin porridge mixed with sand, it can support people to continue living.
Annan took out some basic daily necessities from the space and placed them in the van in advance.
There are many people in the base and it's not like she can use the space freely at home, so she has to prepare all the supplies in advance.
Long Cong'an, who had been following behind, was a little surprised to see Annan's car join the queue.
"Boss Gu, that's the mountain and base I mentioned earlier."
Why is Miss Annan here?
Isn't she already the "king" in her community?
You wouldn't be coming here just for the reputation of the Gu Group, right?
This shouldn't happen...
This matter is becoming more and more confusing.
He turned around and asked, "Mr. Gu, what should we do next?"
"Follow me in."
Long Cong'an was stunned for a moment, his mouth was faster than his brain: "Boss Gu, didn't you say that only fools would go there?"
Gu Zhiyu glanced at him with his eyes slightly squinted.
Long Cong'an reacted immediately and smiled awkwardly.
"The only ones who get fooled are fools. We are in here to investigate. We are very smart!"
Gu Zhiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him and just said, "You don't have to follow me in. Bring some more food over, and then you can go home."
Long Cong'an: "Boss Gu, they asked for 10 kilograms of food, and we have 100 kilograms in the trunk..."
Gu Zhiyu: "More money means more things to do, and being prepared is better than being caught unprepared."
Long Cong'an nodded.
It seems that Mr. Gu will be staying here for a while, so he has to prepare everything.
On the other side, Annan waited in line for a long time before finally getting her turn.
The man in charge of registration had a muscular body and a face full of the resentment of an office worker.
As soon as she rolled down the window, he stretched out his hand impatiently: "Pay the food!"
Annan gave him ten kilograms of miscellaneous grains.
They were all paid from Erkui, and only the dirty and poor quality ones were delivered.
The man weighed it skillfully, then handed her a registration form and asked her to fill in basic information.
The eldest brother looked annoyed and didn't even look at her the whole time: "Fill it out quickly!"
Annan took the registration form and found that it contained very basic information, including name, gender, age, occupation, specialties, etc.
She filled out the form sloppily and handed it back.
