Chapter 8: Garrison, coming from the water
Liu Wanqing saw that the girl in front of her did not seem to be lying.
Considering the behavior of the finless porpoise, she already believed it about 70% to 80%.
However, when facing suspicious elements, she must remain 100% vigilant. After all, behind her are the people of Jiangcheng, and she cannot be careless.
"Then you have to come back with me to the base. I'll have someone check nearby surveillance. If you're not lying, I'll let you go."
Xu Xinxin has no objection to this, but...
“Gurgle gurgle…”
Her stomach growled uncontrollably, and she smiled awkwardly, "Beautiful sister, can you wait for me for a while? I'll go back and get something to eat, okay?"
"Can't".
Liu Wanqing refused mercilessly, but she still took out a bag of compressed biscuits from her pocket, threw it to her, and said, "Eat this, and then follow me after you finish eating."
Half of the raw materials of the compressed biscuits in the disaster world are "grass". They taste like grass and are particularly dry.
But Xu Xinxin was really hungry, so she didn't pick and choose. She just took the compressed biscuit, tore it open and stuffed it into her mouth.
Without water, she almost choked.
After finally finishing the compressed biscuits, she was still hungry and estimated that she would have to wait for a while before she felt full.
Xu Xinxin licked her lips and said, "Thank you, sister. Then should I sit on the parrot with you?"
This time, she looked at the parrot's back and was eager to sit on it.
Seeing her like this, Liu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh: "You wishful thinking, there's no way it can carry the two of us, of course you're waiting for the garrison troops on the ground to come and pick us up."
They were said to be garrison troops on the ground, but in fact they came from the water.
From a distance, Xu Xinxin saw a small yacht on the river, approaching quickly.
It’s amazing that the garrison can even afford a yacht, but it’s a bit old.
Seeing the garrison troops rushing over, the Yangtze River porpoises splashed water with their tails, which froze into ice and then fell onto the yacht.
"Hey, little porpoise, I'm your favorite Li Hao, don't you recognize me?"
The man standing on the yacht blocked the ice with his hands and said timidly, "Stop fighting. I'm here to do my job."
“Puff, puff!”
But no matter how they persuaded, the porpoise refused to let go and protected Xu Xinxin tightly.
Liu Wanqing and Li Hao both felt it was incredible when they saw the performance of the Yangtze finless porpoise.
This finless porpoise is the most mischievous one in the river.
The garrison troops nearby, even those with the best relationship with it, have all been beaten by it.
No one has ever seen it. It is really rare that it can protect a person like this.
In the end, it took Xu Xinxin's persuasion for a long time before the porpoise agreed to let go.
Xu Xinxin followed Li Hao to the garrison location, while Liu Wanqing continued to patrol. However, before she entered the garrison location, all the colleagues nearby knew about it.
"It's really strange that the finless porpoise actually likes that girl so much."
"That girl looks so soft and tender. If I were a finless porpoise, I would like her too."
"It turns out that appearance is also important for Yangtze finless porpoises. If I had known this, I would have done some fine-tuning before the disaster."
Amid the discussion of a group of garrison troops, Xu Xinxin walked into a particularly tall building made of earth and stones.
Adjusting the surveillance now is not as easy as before and it takes a bit of time. Xu Xinxin just sat in the hall and waited obediently.
Finally, the surveillance footage was brought up.
The garrison troops who watched the surveillance video discovered that the girl not only let the porpoise take her swimming, but the porpoise also helped her dry her clothes and even stayed quietly on the shore just to wait for her to dig wild vegetables.
There are so many wild vegetables by the river, but they didn't dig them. Is it because they don't want to, but because the finless porpoises don't want to.
Whenever this porpoise sees you by the river, it will spit ice lumps at you. If it misses, it will just freeze your clothes. It is very naughty.
After watching the surveillance video, the truth was revealed. After Li Hao notified Liu Wanqing, he walked out with an apologetic look on his face and said to Xu Xinxin: "I'm sorry, we didn't expect that the Yangtze River dolphin would be so kind to someone. We misunderstood you."
"It's okay," Xu Xinxin said sincerely, "I know you are all doing this for everyone's safety, so you won't mind."
The more sensible Xu Xinxin becomes, the more guilty Li Hao feels.
He said, "Next time if you pick wild vegetables, don't take them to the city to sell. We can buy them all for you."
When the people around heard this, they immediately joked, "Oh, I think you are just greedy for other people's wild vegetables."
Xu Xinxin immediately responded: "Okay, I'll bring you some next time."
These garrison troops are really pitiful. They live next to wild vegetables, but they have to work overtime every day and don’t even have time to dig them.
From what everyone said, the Yangtze River dolphins were too naughty and that was why no one had time to dig wild vegetables.
In fact, they are too busy.
Otherwise, they could invite a few more people, some to play with the finless porpoises, and the rest to dig wild vegetables. There would be nothing they couldn't find.
“Beep, beep, beep!”
While Xu Xinxin was talking to them, a nearby alarm sounded, and someone immediately notified them: "There is energy abnormality in area 318, team 083, go over immediately to check for abnormalities."
"receive!"
The garrison soldier who had just been talking to Xu Xinxin immediately ran to the next house upon hearing the notice.
In less than half a minute, a three-person team, fully equipped and marching in unison, ran quickly towards the vehicle outside.
Xu Xinxin saw this scene and said in her heart:
Next time, she will pick wild vegetables again, but she won’t charge you and will give them to you for free.
By the time Li Hao sent Xu Xinxin back, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Originally, Xu Xinxin was planning to stir-fry some amaranth today and have it with a bowl of white rice, but that taste...it seems like she won't be able to enjoy it today.
Xu Xinxin groped around in the dark and found a big sweet potato. She washed it with water and ate it with the skin on.
After just one bite, her mouth was filled with saliva and her appetite was whetted.
This evolved sweet potato is really, really delicious. No wonder even the Gu family has to use connections to buy it.
After eating a sweet potato, Xu Xinxin felt full and went to sleep contentedly with her quilt in her arms.
…
The next day.
Six o'clock in the morning.
The broadcast at a nearby intersection sounded on time.
"Today is March 5, 2055. The weather is sunny, the air energy index is 5, and there are no abnormalities near the river."
"Today is already the third year since the disaster. Under the silent protection of the supernatural army, the 560,000 people in Jiangcheng have actively devoted themselves to infrastructure construction..."
“Hehe…”
“Hehe…”
Outside the window, the sound of the radio mixed with the crowing of chickens made Xu Xinxin wake up.
Who would have thought that even though the world was in turmoil, she still had to get up early.
Ahhh, when she has money in the future, she must build a soundproof house, the kind that can’t be woken up even by thunder.
Xu Xinxin got up from bed with an irritable look on her face and suddenly wanted to eat some cold dishes.
