Pei Dong had been so busy these days that he hadn't slept a wink. When he couldn't bear it any longer, he told his adjutant some precautions and hurried back to Taoyang to take a shower.
When I went out to the canteen for a midnight snack, I suddenly found that there was an extra public room. When I went in and took a look, I was stunned.
The dazzling array of toiletries and feminine products left her stunned.
She thought of the female soldiers in her team, who had to make do with cotton cloth every time they had their period, and it was common for them to get it all over their pants during training.
When taking a bath, more than 20 girls use a bar of soap together, rubbing it carefully and calculating in their minds how many times it can be used.
Two years ago, the pioneer army brought a batch of shampoo and soap from outside. Pei Dong didn't care about his face at all and went to Shi Zijin's team to ask for it, and only then was he given a box.
That day was like Chinese New Year. Everyone took a clean shower and their hair, which had been tangled for years, was finally smoothed out.
Pei Dong's eyes suddenly became hot. She couldn't wait any longer and knocked on Su Tao's door.
Su Tao was quite surprised to see Pei Dong outside the door: "Sister Pei, you're back? I haven't seen you for a few days."
Pei Dong hummed coldly and quickly got to the point:
"I want to buy a batch of toiletries and sanitary napkins from you, enough for 20 people to use for a year. You name the price."
Su Tao blinked, thought for two seconds and said, "Then come with me to the grocery store."
Then Su Tao asked Pei Dong to buy while she replenished the stock.
Pei Dong was even more shocked when he saw the continuous supply of goods coming in without any interruption due to her large purchases.
"That's all for today. You can't take any more with you. Next time, come in the middle of the night and hire a truck to quietly take it out without anyone seeing."
Pei Dong nodded, and when he paid the bill, he found out that three large bags of sanitary napkins only cost about 10,000 federal coins.
She felt that it was ridiculously cheap and couldn't help asking Su Tao:
“Do you do charity?”
Su Tao asked her back: "You are the one, right? You bought so many for yourself, you must have paid for them out of your own pocket for the girls in your team, right?"
Pei Dong lowered his voice: "I thank you on their behalf. They would have had a very hard time without these things."
Su Tao shook her head: "They should thank you. Without you thinking about them, they wouldn't be able to use my things. You are the same type of person as Major General Shi."
Pei Dong was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"If you need anything in Dongyang, just let me know. I can still have a say in most of the city's affairs."
After saying this, he picked up three large bags of sanitary napkins and walked away proudly.
Su Tao chuckled.
The next day, Pei Dong took three large bags of sanitary napkins to various teams for distribution.
The girls in the team were shocked and happy, and asked:
"Sister Pei, where did you get this? Are you trying to stop Major General Shi again? I haven't heard of the pioneer army bringing back supplies recently."
Pei Dong said coldly, "Just use it, no need to talk so much."
Everyone knew that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and they all smiled and said thank you Sister Pei.
Some people did guess: "Sister Pei got it from Taoyang, right? Taoyang has been rumored to be a paradise lately. Does Sister Pei really have so many supplies?"
"Needless to say, look at what our Sister Pei got? Where else can we get these things besides the Pioneer Army's inventory?"
"Sister Pei, you live there, so tell us what Taoyang is like. I heard that the landlady surnamed Su is cruel and ruthless, is that true?"
Pei Dong's mind flashed with Su Tao's harmless face and small body with only a few pounds of flesh. He said with a dark face:
"Don't believe the rumors. She's a very good person. Without her approval, you wouldn't be able to use these things."
The girls believed Pei Dong's words without a doubt. They thought that someone must be unable to live there and was spreading rumors to slander Taoyang!
In the future, if they meet someone who speaks ill of them, the female city defense soldiers will be the first to disagree.
——
In the next week, the armaments at Dongyang Base will become increasingly strict.
Although Su Tao did not leave Taoyang, she could tell from the itinerary of Pei Dongku, the deputy commander of the city defense army who lived with her.
Pei Dong's workload doubled, and he didn't even have time to call a truck to transport the goods as promised.
Shi Zijin said that she stood on the sentry post day and night looking for traces of mutant zombies, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Su Tao wondered: "Can she still see every street and alley in Dongyang clearly?"
Shi Zijin raised an eyebrow. "Who says that's not possible? Her special ability is 'Sky Eye', also known as 'Eagle Eye'. As long as her field of vision is wide enough, she can observe every corner within her field of vision."
Su Tao exclaimed in her heart: "This ability is perfect for her, it's amazing."
Shi Zijin nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:
"Last time, Xing Shuyu asked if you had the electric fence now?"
The reason why zombies were able to sneak into the Dongyang base was largely because the outer defense was not well done. There was no ironclad electric grid like the one in Taoyang, so as long as something was triggered, they would receive a notification.
It would be fine if she didn't mention it, but once she did, Su Tao's face turned bitter: "No."
She also wanted other defensive items, but the hidden store and hidden mission could never be triggered.
She had no idea what to do and could only look at the gray objects with envy.
Shi Zijin understood her expression. It was useless to urge her, as she seemed to have no other options.
"I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow to look for some building materials or manufacturing machines. If that doesn't work, I'll have to go to other bases to buy them. Dongyang can't wait."
This gave Su Tao a bad feeling: "Dongyang is so anxious to build the city wall. It can't be because of the mutant zombie, right? What else is it because of?"
Really sensitive.
Shi Zijin didn't hide it. "There will probably be a large-scale zombie evolution in the next two to three years. The evolved zombies will be extremely lethal. If there is no protection from the city walls, they are likely to attack the base. By then, Dongyang will become a hell on earth."
Su Tao's hairs stood on end.
She had grown up for eighteen years and had practically watched Dongyang mature and develop step by step. Although it was not perfect and some parts were still chaotic and dark, it at least kept the people living there away from zombies, which was a ray of hope for mankind in this apocalypse.
Su Tao couldn't imagine it becoming a zombie paradise.
What exactly is this hidden mission?
She scratched her head and asked:
"So if you guys go out and find building materials this time, how long will it take to build the high wall and electric fence?"
Shi Zijin shook his head: "I'm not sure. It could take as little as one year, or as long as four or five years. It depends on whether we can find enough workers and engineers."
The loss of population and talent in the last days is completely inevitable.
Su Tao thought it was more convenient for her to come here, and there was no need for so many people.
You just need to move the finished wall pieces over, put them in the appropriate position, and weld them in place.
Even if Dongyang belonged to her territory, just like Taoyang, she could accomplish this task with just a snap of her fingers.
In her field, she is almost omnipotent.
