September arrived quickly, and Bai Chang finally agreed to Liu Aiyuan's advances. Bai Shuang, acting as a parent, took Bai Chang to meet Liu Bin and his wife.
They only had this one daughter in their lives, and they wanted to keep her by their side for a few more years. But girls are drawn to the outside world, and the little girl was quickly captivated by Bai Chang's handsome appearance.
They couldn't do anything about it.
There is another reason: Bai Changke is a confidant of their boss and base commander, Bai Shuang.
Marrying Bai Chang is almost equivalent to marrying Bai Shuang.
Moreover, he is highly skilled in martial arts and has extraordinary abilities; many people are eyeing him. The couple couldn't be happier than to have such a son-in-law.
However, they simply cannot say these things aloud.
"It's enough that people are here. Why bring all this stuff? We're short on supplies right now, so we don't care about those things."
“You’re all family, so you should know that Bai Chang and I grew up together, so he’s like a brother to me.”
I acted as his parents and arranged the engagement.
Bai Shuang Space had clothes she used to collect from supermarkets. She found several outfits according to Liu Yuanyuan's size, including single-layer and cotton clothes, sweaters, and skirts.
Little did they expect that the clothes they had hastily bought from the supermarket would end up being used as betrothal gifts.
These things are incredibly precious these days.
In this post-apocalyptic world, everyone is short of clothes, and the girl, who loves beauty, was immediately captivated by the sight of the clothes. Being young, she almost put them on right then and there.
"Put it down and get back to work."
She only stopped after her mother called out to her.
Madam Liu was both amused and exasperated, and glanced helplessly at Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang: "It's alright, we're all on the same side."
Bai Xue also picked out two sets of jewelry with better clarity from her previous pieces.
Given the current living standards in this post-apocalyptic world, it's certainly not appropriate to use something too high-end like emeralds, as that would seem strange.
Bai Shuang had originally wanted to give them some rice, flour, and cooking oil as gifts, but then she thought it was inappropriate.
This is similar to a new marriage alliance, where the engagement ceremony includes receiving food as a form of relief.
So they gave her a few more bottles of face cream, which the little girl loved at first sight.
Having confirmed their relationship, the two plan to officially marry next year, after Liu Aiyuan turns eighteen.
In the apocalypse, not so many rules apply, but Bai Shuang has the means, and she still doesn't want to wrong the young girl.
Next, Lu Yu and Jasser will go to move the weapons.
Bai Shuang wanted to go along, but Lu Yu wouldn't let her go no matter what.
This is his responsibility as a man; he can't rely on Bai Shuang for everything.
She hasn't had her period for over a month and is worried she might be pregnant.
Lu Yu: "Since you can bring it back using ordinary methods, you don't need to worry about it."
Bai Shuang: "Why don't you arrange for someone else to go? Why do you have to go yourself?"
"This batch of weapons is very important, and I don't trust anyone else to handle it."
You know, the temporary base of those three forces when we last acquired oil.
According to the information sent back, after our attack, they did not find the culprit in the surrounding area, and soon after, they stationed troops again.
When we extracted oil last time, we did it discreetly, and they still think the oil is nearby.
Once the enemy realizes this, they will surely launch a joint attack to annihilate our Chinese base.
Therefore, this batch of weapons cannot be lost and must be retrieved as soon as possible.
"Use our submarine cabin; it's sturdier and safer. I'll take out another room to live in."
Lu Yu: "We're comfortable living in our house, you can keep it."
Also, when I'm not around, the entire base, including the military headquarters, will be under your management.
You're in charge of the entire base; all major matters must be reported to you, and everyone must follow your orders completely.
I'll leave Xiao Zhao with you; he'll report directly to you about matters at the military headquarters.
I will hold a meeting then to announce this.
Bai Shuang nodded. She knew that as long as either she or Lu Yu was at the base, they had to maintain control of the base to ensure their absolute leadership position.
This was Lu Yu's first time leaving alone; the new rule had to start from the first time.
Controlling the power base is a guarantee of safety and interests for oneself and one's family. This was one of the original intentions behind the hard work and personal resources invested in building the base.
It protects both one's own family and the Chinese people, which is to say, it protects the country and its people. Here, personal interests and national interests are aligned.
Therefore, it must never fall into the hands of bad people.
In the end, Lu Yu listened to Bai Shuang's advice and used his own submarine house.
In addition to Xiao Yang, Wang Bin, Liu Dong, and Jasser, they also brought an elite force.
Bai Shuang prepared enough food, medicine and weapons for them.
Benson has to stay at the base as a hostage, just in case.
The trip will depart at the end of September and take approximately two to three months round trip.
After Lu Yu left, Bai Shuang invited Wang Ying over, and Bai Jiu brewed tea and served it.
Bai Shuang asked with a smile, "Aunt Wang, you're not young anymore, are you still able to work?"
Wang Ying is now in charge of air force patrols, which is indeed hard work.
"Don't worry, your aunt can manage."
Bai Shuang: "Don't hold back, let the young people do it. You can help me, be my secretary."
The base has a large number of military personnel and a small number of ordinary survivors. Therefore, although the military and government are separate, the military is still needed in many areas of internal affairs.
"Oh, you're taking care of me."
"It's not just about taking care of you because you're old; I also need your help."
While Lu Yu is away, please handle the documents sent by the military region for me.
