The continuous rain finally stopped on a cold night.
Song Zhi was wearing a sweater and sitting lazily in the supermarket reading a book.
The air conditioning in the supermarket is turned on very high, and there is an air-raid shelter at the base, which can control the temperature intelligently, so it is not cold even if the air conditioning is on alone.
Luo Xi came in from outside wearing a scarf.
"Doctor Luo, how come you have time to come here?" Song Zhi sat on the chair and looked up lazily.
Luo Xi raised her hand to loosen her scarf a little and said, "Calculating the days, it's almost Chinese New Year."
Song Zhi was a little surprised when he heard this: "So fast."
She looked up at the perpetual calendar on the wall. Today was December 29th, and New Year's Day was in two days.
After New Year’s Day, it’s not long before the Chinese New Year.
"Well, if you think about it carefully, this is the eleventh year since the apocalypse. I didn't expect that I'd still be alive, and the recent days haven't been much different from before the apocalypse."
Luo Xi felt very comfortable during his time living in the apocalyptic base.
Even made some friends.
What made him feel most special were Song Ci and the others because they could play cards with him.
"Yeah, time flies." Song Zhi also sighed.
Time flies so fast. Half a year has passed since she came into this world.
During this period, she was busy and happy. Overall, the time she spent in this world was quite meaningful.
"Boss Song, I have a request." Seeing that Song Zhi was in a very good mood, Luo Xi continued to speak.
Song Zhi smiled and said, "What request? If you need anything, just tell me directly."
We are all friends, and it would be too awkward to make a request between friends.
Luo Xi nodded, "Okay, then I'll be frank."
"I want to take advantage of this New Year's Day to go back to Beiyuan Base. I have a few friends there and I want to go back to see them."
Both his parents are dead and he has no relatives in the world, so friends are the most important things to him.
Although he had a good life every day in Songzhi, he also missed his friends at Beiyuan Base.
It has been two months since he came here, and he wants to go back to Beiyuan Base to take a look.
"Okay." Song Zhi nodded in agreement.
"Then on the way back, do you want to find a few people to accompany you? The road is not safe."
Luo Xi: "No need. There have been people from Beiyuan Base coming to buy supplies these days. I have already made an agreement with them. When they come tomorrow, I will go back with them."
Song Zhi understood what he said and said no more.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"Um."
-
The situation at the Beiyuan base has been very unclear recently.
A large number of survivors from the Southern Base joined the Beiyuan Base, and some of them had ulterior motives.
This led to constant internal strife in the Beiyuan base.
Si Qing went out on a mission some time ago. When he came back, he learned this news. He immediately found Qi Huo to discuss a solution.
But Qihuo didn't care at all and simply ignored Si Qing's suggestions and requests.
He felt.
"Those who come here are all capable survivors. Having them join the base will help it do better. Capable people are naturally arrogant, so temporary problems are inevitable. The situation in the south has been very chaotic, and now is a good time for our northern base to rise."
Si Qing retorted.
"They've already caused such chaos right after they arrived. So, once they settle down here, are you sure you can still control them, Commander?"
Qi Huo didn't care and interrupted Si Qing irritably.
"Alright, you just got back, and you don't know the situation at the base yet. Go down and get some rest. I'm the head of the base, and I have the final say on how the base will develop in the future."
Qi Huo didn't want to say more to Si Qing at all. In addition, the recent chaos had indeed caused him a lot of anxiety, causing his temper to become even worse.
Si Qing left, but did not give up.
He couldn't bear to see Beiyuan Base destroyed in Qihuo's hands.
Luo Xi returned to the base with a team and found that huge changes had taken place in the Beiyuan base.
Qi Huo is dead, and now the head of Beiyuan Base is Si Qing.
Qi'er was seriously injured and is still recuperating in the hospital. Most of the important positions in the base have been replaced by Si Qing's own people.
"Chief Qi died just like that?"
Luo Xi sat in Si Qing's office and widened his eyes in shock when he heard about the changes that had taken place in the base in the past two months.
However, Si Qing was very calm and nodded.
"Um."
Luo Xi: "Then... did you kill that person?"
Luo Xi and Si Qing have a very good relationship and trust each other, so he can ask this question so directly.
Upon hearing this, Si Qing raised his eyes to look at Luo Xi, as if to confirm whether he was serious about what he said, but after realizing that Luo Xi looked serious, he spoke in a speechless manner.
"What are you thinking? Although I don't approve of some of Chief Qi's actions, I wouldn't kill him to take over. He was on a mission outside and died on the way."
Luo Xi didn't believe it, "Really?"
Si Qing: "Of course it's true. Why would I kill him for no reason? The base is in urgent need of manpower right now. But I have to say, this saved me some trouble."
Si Qing's last sentence came from the heart.
In order to take control of the base's discourse power, he would need to put in a lot of effort as long as Qihuo was still alive. He would need to win over the people and gradually reduce Qihuo's prestige in the hearts of the people in the base.
At his previous speed, it would probably take another three months to accomplish what he wanted.
But Qihuo went out and died unexpectedly. He added a little bit of fuel to the fire and it only took a month.
