The total area of the base is very large. After entering the urban area, the buildings and pedestrians are obviously more abundant than in the suburbs.
If it weren't for the lingering fatigue and fear on people's faces, and the patrolling troops everywhere, at first glance it would look no different from an ordinary city before the apocalypse.
Compared with other survivor bases, it is really well organized and life is rich.
This scene was very new to Jiang Chuyi. As soon as he entered the main urban area, he leaned against the window and stared outside without blinking.
The car stopped at the gate of a residential complex. Lian Riqing said, "Captain, call me if there is a mission." Then he got out of the car.
Jiang Chuyi watched her slender and hot figure walk into the residential complex, attracting the attention of everyone around her. He asked, "Is this her home?"
"Yes." He Sizhao replied.
"Lian Jie and I have no parents, but she has a younger brother," Wu Yi interjected. "It's said he's not her biological child, but that she picked him up after the apocalypse. I don't know if that's true, and I've never heard Lian Jie talk about her family before."
"It's true. The child was only twelve years old. His parents had turned into zombies. He survived by locking himself in the bathroom and drinking raw water. Ah Qing brought him back to this place," Su Mo said. "I was there that day. We were ordered to rescue the survivors in that building."
Jiang Chuyi nodded in understanding.
In the original plot, the author did not describe this cold and beautiful female assassin in much detail. Most of the descriptions he did give focused on her figure and appearance, while her family background was simply skipped.
But she remembered seeing a sentence that the reason Lian Riqing followed Lu Qianzhi was because he promised her to protect someone.
This person never appeared again afterwards. I don’t know if this role was not important or the author forgot about it.
It seems that person is this half-brother.
Jiang Chuyi turned to the back seat and looked at Wu Yi, who looked carefree. "Don't you have parents either?"
Noticing that she used the word "also", everyone in the car knew that the other person she included was herself.
Wuyi shook her head. "Sister Lian and I are both 'seedlings' selected by the military from orphanages since childhood. We have been raised in the army. The country is our parent."
Jiang Chuyi's eyes flashed, and his tone turned cold: "Don't you feel unwilling? You have been imprisoned in one place since childhood, eating the food they demand and doing the things they dictate. It's like it doesn't matter whether you have your own consciousness or not, as long as your body can satisfy their demands."
"Xiaoyi." He Sizhao immediately realized the emotion in her words and reached out to hold her hand.
Jiang Chuyi ignored him and just looked at Wuyi.
"I'm not willing to give up... no." Wuyi scratched his head. "Before I was taken away, the military asked for our personal opinions. Although I was still young at the time, as long as I could leave the orphanage, I didn't mind going anywhere else."
He smiled carefreely again: "Anyway, they provide me with food and drink. Since I have received benefits, I should do something in return. Otherwise, it would be useless to eat and drink for free."
Jiang Chuyi couldn't help but clench her hands on her knees. The past that she thought she had forgotten and gotten rid of gradually enveloped her again.
Wu Yi had a choice, but she didn't.
She was sent to that place when she was born, and when the explosion happened when she was eighteen, she was brought to this world by the system. For eighteen years, she hated those people every day.
To provide her with food and drink? Did she ask them to?
Even if she was thrown out and forced to linger like a stray dog, or even survive by picking up garbage, she would not stay there for a single minute.
The light in Jiang Chuyi's eyes gradually disappeared, and his pupils became pitch black, like the deep sea before a storm, gloomy and dangerous, full of despair without a ray of light.
A dry and warm hand suddenly pried open her tightly clenched fist and intertwined her fingers.
"It's all over, Xiaoyi, it's all over."
He Sizhao held her in his arms and kissed the top of her head gently.
He closed his eyes, hiding the almost cruel light in them, and leaving his most gentle side to the girl in his arms.
"I will avenge you."
Jiang Chuyi was stunned, and then a shivering little snake was stuffed into her arms.
Su Mo's deliberately relaxed voice sounded: "Play with the donuts for a while, as for the others, we will take care of them."
Jiang Chuyi lowered his eyes and met the little snake's trembling gaze.
Seeing that its eyes were filled with the words "Don't kill me, don't eat me, I'm weak, young and pitiful", the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated a little.
They said they wanted to avenge her, but they didn't know that her enemies were buried in the previous world. Even if they could survive, they were beyond the reach of people here.
But this was the first time someone wanted to "avenge" her, and it felt good.
Jiang Chuyi didn't get up from He Sizhao's arms. She lifted the little snake's tail and started swinging with it.
This series of events fell into the eyes of the special forces soldier who was driving, and the expression on his face changed again and again.
He didn't understand anything else, but he realized that this little girl was the apple of He Sizhao and Su Mo's eyes, their precious darling.
He had never seen He Sizhao treat his beast with such cherishing and treasuring attitude, and Su Mo had never let anyone else touch his beast. Now it had become a toy in the hands of this little girl, and the beast did not resist at all, obviously it was under Su Mo's order.
Since she was pampered to this extent, it was understandable that she was asked to give her fruits, vegetables, flowers, pots and bowls before.
The team member driving the car thought he had figured out the truth.
The main base is designed in a radial circular shape. The outermost area is an open suburb, which serves as the outer defense, while the middle layer is where most of the survivors live. After the car passes through the most prosperous area, the flow of people suddenly decreases and the surrounding environment becomes noticeably quieter.
Jiang Chuyi had seen in the original plot that the real big shots in the base all lived in this central area. Whether in terms of environment or resources, it was incomparable to the periphery.
"Are we coming back to live here this time?" Wuxin exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah." He Sizhao responded. Seeing Jiang Chuyi raise his eyes to ask, he explained, "I have an apartment outside. I usually live there, but it's safer inside."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the first level.
There were layers of guards here. He Sizhao took out a badge and threw it in front of the windshield like a small toy.
When the guard saw the badge, his face suddenly changed. He immediately stood at attention, saluted them, and watched them leave.
"What is this?" Jiang Chuyi ordered, "Bring it here and let me see it."
He Sizhao reached out his hand for her to touch, letting her play with it, and casually said, "Admiral's badge."
As soon as these words were spoken, the car suddenly became quiet for a second.
Wuyi immediately started yelling and asked Jiang Chuyi's question: "Boss, boss, when did you become a general?! I've never heard of this!"
"It was just given before I left this time." He Sizhao said in a tone as if he was saying, "We're having potatoes for dinner tonight." "What's the essential difference between Major General and General now? It's just an empty title."
Wu Yi and the driving team member looked at him in shock and admiration, but he looked at them indifferently. After Jiang Chuyi returned it to him indifferently, he casually threw the badge in front of the windshield with a crisp bang.
Wuyi gasped in distress when he heard this: "Boss, this is an admiral's badge! There are only a few admirals left in the country, and you treat it like this!"
"Theoretically speaking, there are no national boundaries anymore. There's only a difference between humans and zombies." Su Mo corrected him.
Wuyi snorted: "Anyway, I just don't want to cooperate with those people."
Jiang Chuyi didn't say anything. Even if she lacked common sense, she knew that in human society, it took a lot of military merit to become a general, and it was definitely not something that could be obtained easily.
A twenty-one-year-old general.
She suddenly remembered the new and old scars on He Sizhao's body that she saw after he took off his clothes, and she felt a little unhappy for some reason.
Noticing that her face had darkened again, He Sizhao touched her hair: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Chuyi shook his head and then nodded.
He Sizhao suddenly became nervous. He straightened his body and was about to believe and ask, but was suddenly thrown into the arms of a warm and soft beauty.
Jiang Chuyi threw herself into his arms like a boneless person and bit a piece of clothes on his chest.
He Sizhao was slightly shocked and was very surprised.
Jiang Chuyi's vague voice came from below. He hesitated, lowered his head slightly, and listened attentively.
"It's so annoying. I'm not the one injured, so why should I feel uncomfortable? I've used so many injuries to exchange for military merits, so why wouldn't it be painful for you to die..."
He Sizhao's eyes flickered, and a joy leaked out from his eyes. He held his breath, with intense ecstasy and vague uneasiness, wanting to listen to a few more words.
However, Jiang Chuyi remained silent.
These few words intrigued He Sizhao, as if a kitten's paw had patted his chest. He was anxious to hear a few more words, but the other party refused to speak.
He waited for a few seconds, sighed in his heart, and resignedly hugged the soft thing in his arms.
He looked forward, and when no one noticed, a glimmer of crystal light silently passed between his eyes.
Everyone remembers his glorious career and brilliant military achievements.
Only this little girl who knew nothing only remembered the scars on his body.
He held the girl in his arms as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.
Unlike others, she knew how he gained his military exploits, but she didn't care. Just like that terrifying ability that made people fear him like a monster was just an ordinary talent to her, not even as important as cooking delicious food.
She knew everything, but she looked at him as an ordinary person and remembered his scars.
There is a piece of land in He Shizhao's heart that is always burning and has become as scorched as ruins.
And now, a cool white moonlight pours in, refreshing and nourishing the land.
There was no conversation along the way. The admiral badge was very useful and everything went smoothly.
When they arrived in front of a courtyard house with a separate entrance and building, several people got out of the car. He Sizhao put Jiang Chuyi down and looked at Su Mo.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital first?"
"It's not ready over there yet." Su Mo said.
"You know what I'm talking about."
Su Mo's smile faded: "Anyway, he never wanted to have me as his son, so I won't try to gain a sense of existence in front of him."
He Sizhao nodded, said no more, kissed Jiang Chuyi's forehead again, and turned around to leave.
When He Sizhao knocked on General Zhou's door, Lu Qianzhi also entered Wen Changchuan's office.
The author has something to say:
