Chu Xiang was summoned to the palace while he was standing guard outside a cave. He was flattered and hurriedly went to report back.
Since the last battle of Yujing City, after he joined the "Frost Society", he has been constantly being ordered around.
For urgent and arduous tasks such as unclogging toilets, repairing faucets, and unblocking sewers, there's often no time to wait for a "worker" to come over.
Newcomers like Chu Xiang are often called upon to do chores.
In addition, there are some things that "workers" are not qualified to do, such as patrolling, standing guard, and running errands at the entrance of the residence of high-ranking apostles, which Chu Xiang cannot avoid.
These are the real grueling tasks, similar to keeping an eagle awake all night long.
If you're lucky, you can stand all night and then get a day's rest.
If he's unlucky, when his senior wants to slack off, he has to work several nights in a row.
Chu Xiang hadn't expected things to be so difficult after joining the "Frost Society," but in order to survive, he had no choice but to endure it. He dared not offend his seniors and could only suffer through it all...
He knew that being summoned by Shen Qingshan was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that preparation was key to success. He hurriedly inquired with the apostle who had sent the messenger:
"Brother, what happened this time?"
As Chu Xiang spoke, he slipped a cigarette into the apostle's hand. You should know that "cigarettes" and "chocolate" are "hard currency" in the Ice Age, with a value equivalent to gold.
He had searched for this cigarette several times during his nightly patrols before finally finding it, and it came in handy this time.
The man put away his cigarette and whispered in his ear:
"I heard it might be a mission."
Chu Xiang was completely relieved. Everyone knew that only by going on missions could one have the opportunity to make a name for oneself; staying at the base every day would mean never getting ahead.
Especially for missions outside the office, it's rare for newcomers to be assigned to them, so this opportunity is truly rare!
He rushed to Shen Qingshan's residence and met another man at the door. He recognized this man; he had joined the association in the same batch as Shen Qingshan.
They exchanged brief greetings and went inside together...
This was Chu Xiang's second time meeting Shen Qingshan. He was very nervous and knelt down, not daring to raise his head.
He had heard that Pan Xin had dumped Shen Qingshan and switched allegiance to the leader, and that Shen Qingshan was furious. If he were to be blamed for this, he would be finished.
In fact, Chu Xiang's concerns were unnecessary; Shen Qingshan had long forgotten who he was.
Shen Qingshan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and said coldly:
"This mission is to investigate the unfinished buildings in the southern suburbs. The equipment will be prepared for you in advance. You are only responsible for verifying whether there are a large amount of supplies in the area and whether the owner is a woman."
"Furthermore, the operation must be carried out in secret. If anyone dares to leak the information, the consequences will be unbearable..."
Chu Xiang retreated, drenched in sweat, without having a chance to speak the entire time.
Having relied on women for the first half of his life, he now has to rely on himself, and suddenly he feels a little nervous about tomorrow's task.
He looked at the man next to him: "My name is Chu Xiang, what's your name?"
The man was still standing there, probably quite frightened, when he finally came to his senses and replied, "Cao Gui".
Cao Gui suddenly came to his senses and asked:
What is our task for tomorrow?
Chu Xiang was speechless for a moment, and said with slight displeasure, "Secretly investigate an unfinished building to see if there are any supplies or women inside."
Cao Gui asked, puzzled, "If there are supplies and women, should we rob them?"
This question stumped Xiao Liu. He really hadn't thought about how to handle it. It turned out that Cao Gui wasn't stupid after all.
Chu Xiang thought for a moment and replied, "We'll see. If it's easy to grab some, we'll grab some; if not, we'll come back and report."
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that! I'll listen to you from now on, Brother Xiang!"
Chu Xiang was pleased to hear him call him "Brother Xiang," and he nodded.
"Let's go get our equipment."
...
Xu Neng had arrived at Hu Tianhao's ward. He looked at the person who was still unconscious on the bed and frowned.
Now that Shen Qingshan has secured Xiao Liu's protection, he won't let go easily, making it almost impossible to capture Xiao Liu again.
Therefore, the only option now is to take a risk and wake Hu Tianhao up ahead of time. Once he wakes up, all the problems will be solved...
Xu Neng looked at Hu Tianhao lying there as if he were dead and reached out to check his breathing.
"He's not dead, he's still unconscious." The doctor came in, holding a packet of medicine, replacing the empty one.
Xu Neng asked the doctor, "How is the leader's health recovering? How long will it take for him to wake up?"
"One kidney was removed, and the wound is healing quite well. As for when he will wake up, we don't know. Logically speaking, he should wake up by now, but perhaps it's because of his age."
Xu Neng clenched his fists. At this critical moment, he feared that before he even woke up, Xiao Liu's "bomb" would have already exploded.
He looked at the doctor and then asked:
"Is there any way to wake the leader up earlier?"
The doctor shook his head: "It's difficult. However, there seem to be cases where strong stimulation might cause premature awakening, but it could also lead to arrhythmia and worsen the condition..."
The commotion outside the door interrupted their conversation, and Xu Neng could vaguely hear a woman's voice.
"Right now, the only people who really want Hu Tianhao dead are probably Shen Qingshan and Xiao Liu. Who's outside the door right now?"
Thinking of this, Xu Neng got up and went out. At the door, he saw her, Xu Hui's former woman—Pan Xin.
How did she end up here? She was clearly captured by Shen Qingshan after the last battle of Yujing City.
Most importantly, she was able to walk out of Shen Qingshan's residence alive and move around freely.
The women in the base weren't allowed to move around freely... unless... she became Hu Tianhao's woman?
