Chapter 437: The top leaders of the base are all looking forward to the arrival of the mysterious letter
Day after day, the large army from the Pingshi base walked on the ruins.
At the beginning, everyone still had the energy to speak, but gradually, the team fell silent.
They just kept moving forward like zombies, and no one had the energy to speak.
Ten days later, Gu Luan and Jiang Xian took advantage of the rest time to quietly move away from the main force.
At the moment of leaving, they happened to see Wang Chu and Li Mengru in the crowd.
There were a few people they knew around them.
"Are they still alive?"
Gu Luan was surprised and delighted.
Jiang Xian curled his lips slightly, "Yes, he's still alive."
Seeing that the people they knew were alive and well made them feel much better.
"Let's go, it's time to do our job."
"Well, let's go!"
The two men moved away from the main force, took out the off-road vehicle when no one was watching, and drove away quickly.
"Did you hear the car?"
"What car sound? There is no car sound. Are you hallucinating because you are tired?"
“Maybe!”
Duan Lin walked past the crowd and headed towards the car where Gu Luan and Jiang Xian were.
He knocked on the window, but was told by the driver that they had gotten out.
Duan Lin looked around but didn't see Jiang Xian and the others.
"Where did you go?"
Duan Lin murmured to himself, "We are about to set off, why hasn't he come back yet?"
A high-level resting area for the large troops.
The base commander stood in front of the tent, looking into the distance in silence.
The secretary stood quietly behind him, not saying a word.
Several senior executives came over.
"Base Commander, our food won't last two days."
A senior manager said with a heavy heart.
The food could have lasted for half a month, but they left a small amount of food in the underground city when they left.
Because there are still more than 10,000 people in the underground city and it is impossible to migrate for a long time.
"Is that person lying to us? There is still no food."
"Yes, if we don't see any food today, we will run out of food tomorrow."
The senior executives all looked worried.
Although they complained about the mysterious man, they had no other extra thoughts.
They were mentally prepared for him not to provide them with food.
They are also in contact with Q Province. If there is a real food shortage, they can only ask for emergency food supplies from there and then think of other solutions.
"Wait a little longer."
The base commander frowned. In a short period of time, he seemed to have aged a lot, with white hair all around his ears.
It's not just him, many other senior executives are like this.
Food shortages cannot be solved by simply thinking of ways to solve them.
There was no food to pick around to alleviate the shortage.
With each passing day, they would consume much of the base's remaining supplies.
This time, the solar storm almost pushed them into a dead end.
"Hey, is it getting dark?"
While they were worried, a senior executive noticed something was wrong and looked up.
At some point, the sun disappeared into the dark clouds and the sky became dark.
"It's getting dark. It's finally getting dark."
"Very good!"
There were cheers from the crowd, and loud shouts of excitement.
The polar day has lasted for more than half a month. Everyone is tortured and unable to sleep, and their moods are becoming more irritable and painful day by day.
Today everything finally returned to normal and they could sleep peacefully.
In an off-road vehicle, Gu Luan leaned over and looked into the distance.
“It’s getting dark.”
She whispered, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
Jiang Xian tilted his head to look out the window and smiled.
The car stopped a few hundred meters away from the main force.
Gu Luan took out a few large trucks and drove back and forth with Jiang Xian, deliberately leaving traces of the wheels.
This is to avoid exposing flaws and allowing others to discover the strange appearance of these materials.
Although they were not afraid of anything, they decided to keep out of trouble.
Of course, I don’t know how many times the flaws have been exposed, such as the volcanic eruption.
Who cares? Less trouble, less trouble!
"Are they still resting?"
"Well, I don't mean to leave."
I guess they wanted to let the people have more rest before it gets dark. After all, everyone has been working hard over the past ten days.
Night fell completely, and lights were faintly on in the large army.
More than 100,000 people fell asleep either sitting or lying down, leaving only a few thousand soldiers on guard.
Although the mutated animals in Province D became extinct long ago after the solar storm, we are still afraid that other accidents may occur.
None of the dozens of senior executives took a break, as if they were all waiting for something.
Duan Lin sat on the ground, staring into the distance in a daze.
He had just woken up and was not sleepy for the time being.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian seemed to have disappeared. He went to look for them again but still couldn't find them.
Where on earth did they go?
"Duan Lin, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Yin came over with a bottle of water and handed it to him.
Duan Lin took it and drank a few sips carefully, "Thinking of Jiang Xian and Gu Luan."
"They haven't returned to the team yet? Could something have happened?"
Shen Yin also knew something and was a little worried.
Duan Lin shook his head firmly, "No!"
No matter who gets into trouble, nothing will happen to them.
As for why he didn't return to the team, he didn't know.
Could it be that they have something to do and temporarily left the team?
But there are ruins everywhere. What can they do by walking on their own legs?
"Hey, are there two people there?"
Chen Yin looked at the distance in surprise. There seemed to be two figures in the darkness.
No one knew what was wrong with her eyes. She had been able to see more clearly than ordinary people in the dark since she was a child, so she could see clearly where there was someone.
Because the distance was too far, she wasn't sure if there was really someone there.
Duan Lin looked over, but saw only darkness and nothing else.
"Are they Jiang Xian and his wife?"
Duan Lin asked subconsciously.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise coming from the higher-ups.
It seemed that someone shot a letter with a crossbow into the ranks of soldiers.
Duan Linchenyin felt strange and stood up and walked over there.
"The direction of the arrow seems to be where the two people were standing just now."
Shen Yin said in a low voice.
Duan Lin was stunned, but said nothing.
A soldier ran up to the base commander with an envelope.
Dozens of senior executives had been waiting for news, and when they saw the envelope, they showed excited expressions.
Duan Lin stood not far away, not understanding what they were so excited about. Was there some good news?
This news was not leaked, not even Duan Lin's high-ranking relative told him.
Because this matter is so weird, no one dares to talk nonsense.
The base commander took the envelope, his hands trembling slightly.
He didn't know whether he was looking forward to something or not, he just knew that he was feeling very excited.
If I don't receive this letter today, maybe this matter is false.
Now that they have waited for it, there is a high possibility that it is true.
That person must be in their team, observing them, otherwise he wouldn't know so much.
But who is he (she)?
The base commander carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it carefully.
Under the dim light, the base commander's expression changed from forbearance to excitement, and finally he could no longer control himself.
"Base Commander, is this true?"
"Where are the supplies?"
Dozens of senior executives asked impatiently, all with nervous anticipation on their faces.
"Really? The supplies are just a few hundred meters away. Send someone to look for them immediately."
"Hundreds of meters away? How did they transport it here? How come we didn't notice it at all?"
"Why are you talking so much? The most important thing is to bring back the supplies."
Dozens of senior executives left excitedly.
The base commander quickly arranged for someone to drive there, and he did not stay behind, ready to go and take a look together.
