Chapter 104 Colonel Rank Earthquake
Lying in the living room was a three-meter-tall calico cat, mostly white with a few yellow and black spots, with nine long snow-white tails flying in the air.
Qiao Qiao: "I make a wish that my parents and I can get advanced cards to deal with the next round of natural disasters when we draw cards next time."
[Nine-tailed Cat Skill: Nine-tailed Prayer
Each tail condenses a large amount of energy, which can be consumed to realize wishes. The difficulty of the wish can be adjusted according to the wish.
One of the tails separated from the body, floated in the air and turned into starlight and disappeared.
Qiao Qiao didn't draw the card immediately. He stroked the base of Xiao Qiao's tail first, "Does it hurt?"
Xiao Qiao shook his head. The tail was not a real tail, but just an energy body. It would continue to grow as long as it took some time.
Qiao Qiao was relieved then. He looked at his parents and clicked the card draw button.
[Congratulations on getting the R-level card Mutant Repellent*1]*5
[Congratulations on getting R-level card cold-proof paint * 100KG] * 3
[Congratulations on getting the R-level card small protective shield] *2
Qiao Qiao sucked in a breath of cold air, ten card draws, ten R-level cards, this probability is outrageous!
[Congratulations on getting the R-level card Mutant Repellent*1]*5
[Congratulations on getting R-level card cold-proof paint * 100KG] * 3
【Congratulations on receiving a small protective cover*1】*3
The same was true for Qiao Huizhou. All eleven card draw opportunities were R-level cards.
Although Qiao Xinghe only had six chances, he pulled out a miracle with a single draw, as all six cards were R-level cards.
[Congratulations on getting the R-level card Mutant Repellent*1]*2
[Congratulations on getting R-level card cold-proof paint*100KG]*2
【Congratulations on getting a small protective cover*1】2
A total of 12 mutant repellent cards are obtained, which can be used 36 times in total, covering the entire inner city, mid-city and a small part of the outer city, although the validity period is only 30 days.
[Mutant Creature Repellent: After use, it can repel all mutant creatures below the complete stage within a five-mile radius. Limited to 30 days, 3/3]
8 R-level cards of anti-cold paint, totaling 800KG, can be used for 8,000 square meters.
[Cold-proof paint: 0.1KG per square meter, valid for 60 days, after use, the lowest temperature can be kept above minus 20 degrees Celsius]
7 small protective shields, which can protect the entire Midtown area after use.
Qiao Huizhou looked at the cards and said, "We are almost at the limit of what we can get from the Federation. It will be very troublesome to get more. Since you have a military rank, why don't you try the military?"
Qiao Xinghe nodded. "Although the military is affiliated with the Federation, it has great power. Rather than a superior-subordinate relationship, it is more like a peer relationship."
Qiao Qiao agreed. She was only a major now, which was a neither high nor low position. With more than twenty cards in hand, it should not be a problem to get promoted a few more levels.
Qiao Huizhou kept two of each card type for the No. 2 Research Institute and gave the rest to Qiao Qiao.
Before going to bed, Qiao Qiao thought about the current problems.
The appearance of the beast tide caught everyone off guard. Most of the mutant creatures have a strong sense of territory, and those like Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man are a minority among the minority.
I have only seen one or two mutant creatures at the same time before, and this is the first time I have heard of a large number of mutant creatures gathering together.
As to why such a large-scale phenomenon did not occur in the first year, it might be because there was continuous fog and heavy rain at that time, and most animals died.
Those who survived until now were almost all mutants with huge appetites. When food was insufficient, they could only search by smell. The Northwest District was home to almost all the people in the country, and in their eyes, it was like a delicious little cake.
Cards can only protect a small number of people. If we want to truly return to our normal lives, we still have to rely on science and technology. I don’t know to what extent the research on cards has progressed, but we can go to the three research institutes to explore it carefully.
Although I have been to Institute No. 2, I only stayed briefly on the third floor and have no idea about other places; I have only heard of Institutes No. 1 and No. 3.
In any case, people finally got five days of respite.
Tomorrow's mission is simple: first go to the military to conduct transactions, and then visit various research institutes.
The 467th day of the end of the world, October 11th.
Thinking about something, Qiao Qiao woke up naturally at six in the morning, washed up, and went to the first floor.
Yueying sat on the sofa, with a calico cat curled up beside him, sleeping soundly. His legs were naturally folded together, with the spine of a book on top. The red sunlight of the early morning shone on him, softening his cold face.
Qiao Qiao stopped on the stairs, unwilling to break such a beautiful view.
Instead, Yueying noticed her, looked up and smiled, "Good morning."
Qiao Qiao was dazzled by his beauty for a moment, and subconsciously walked over, put her hand on his neck and kissed him.
…
Half an hour later, Qiao Qiao's cheeks blushed slightly. She took her hand out of the other person's clothes and adjusted her own clothes.
Abruptly change the subject.
"Where are my parents?"
Yueying's fair face flushed, and her usually cold voice became a little hoarse. She combed the messy hair of the person in front of her and said, "They left at five o'clock. It seems that the research institute has made a new discovery."
"It's so early." Qiao Qiao stood up and walked to the refrigerator. She took out a box of pork and sauerkraut dumplings that had been wrapped and frozen in advance, turned on the fire to boil water and put the dumplings in.
"Let me do it." Yueying took a long time to recover, took the plate and took out all the dumplings, and put the soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil and sesame oil on the table.
Qiao Qiao sat on a chair and lived a life of "everything is provided for him", so he invited him to sit down and eat with him.
"I've already talked to Cheng Yu. She will come to pick us up to go to the military headquarters later. After that, we'll go to the research institute."
"Okay." Yueying never had any objection to Qiao Qiao's decisions.
Half an hour later, a military green SUV stopped at the door and Qiao Chengyu got out of the car wearing a neat military uniform.
She stood at the door, and her habit of being on guard for a long time made her look around unconsciously. She magically discovered that although the wall of the courtyard was not high, she could not see what the courtyard looked like at all.
The door opened and a young couple walked out, behaving intimately.
Qiao Qiao and Yueying were wearing a set of couple outfits. The upper body was a white long-sleeved shirt, one embroidered with a half-moon, and the other with a jade plate. The lower body was blue jeans.
It looks ordinary, but the fact that he can wear white clothes in the doomsday shows his background.
Qiao Chengyu nodded, "Sister, long time no see." Then she opened the car door and said, "Let's talk while we walk on the road."
Qiao Qiao and Yueying sat in the back seat of the SUV, Cheng Yu sat in the passenger seat, and a familiar face sat in the driver's seat.
"Xiao Wu, long time no see, you look good."
Xiao Wu scratched his head, "You too."
After a few simple pleasantries, Qiao Qiao said seriously, "I have already told Lieutenant General Liu about my purpose in advance. How is the military situation recently?"
Her military rank was higher than his, and she was a person that his superiors had instructed to be treated specially. Cheng Yu did not hide the situation, "It's not very good."
"The situation in the Northwest is complicated now, with various forces interfering. The military is relatively safe, but the top leaders of the Federation, the Special Administration Bureau, and the various districts of the parliament all have different ideas, making it difficult to take action."
"The earthquake detector you gave to my uncle and aunt was very effective and greatly increased the influence of the Northeast Region and the Second Research Institute. I don't know where the Capital Region got a natural disaster prediction card from, but now they have taken the initiative again."
Qiao Qiao was not interested in political struggles, but she still heard the hidden meaning in her words, "You want to take back the initiative."
Cheng Yu's eyes were firm. "Yes, now the philosophies of each district are different. The Capital District and the Southeast District have the most extreme ideas. They only care about people who are useful. They even proposed to build safe houses for protection. Ordinary people are not in their eyes at all.
The Northwest District has been living well just relying on the resettlement resources provided by other districts. Their ordinary people live in the Midtown District without any worries. Now they are completely lying down and do not want to take part in the fight. They are purely neutral.
The concepts of the Northeast and Southwest regions are consistent.
After this migration, I think you have a general impression of the leaders of the Northeast Region. Whether it is the Chief Executive, the Director of the Special Management Bureau, Lieutenant General Liu or General Yu, although they will treat a small number of people specially, they all care about ordinary people. Only when we have the most say can we protect more ordinary people. "
Cheng Yu looked at her expression and said, "In this situation, the right to speak can only be obtained by relying on high-level cards. Everyone knows that you can produce so many R-level cards and even have SR-level cards. You are definitely not an ordinary person. So, I hope you can stand up..."
Qiao Qiao was silent for a while after hearing this. "I have a general understanding of the situation. Don't be too happy yet." She stretched out her hand to interrupt Cheng Yu's words. "I can't possibly come forward to deal with the authorities. It's too troublesome. At most, I will trade with you first when I get the cards next time."
Cheng Yu looked happy, "That's enough, thank you, sister."
While they were talking, Yueying was sitting next to them like a transparent person, playing with Qiao Qiao's hand, pinching and kneading it.
The vehicle passed three inspections and finally stopped in front of a six-story building.
"arrive."
Cheng Yu led the way and they arrived at the sixth floor. Lieutenant General Liu was waiting at the door and there was another round of greetings.
Before Qiao Qiao ran out of patience, Lieutenant General Liu finally let her go and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Xiao Wu and Cheng Yu stood at the door, and only Lieutenant General Liu, his deputy, Qiao Qiao and Yueying entered.
After sitting down, Lieutenant General Liu got straight to the point, "I have received Cheng Yu's reply. Thank you for your support. We will never let you down."
"Don't be so polite. We just take what we need." Qiao Qiao took out the cards and put them on the table.
10 R-level cards of mutant repellent, 6 R-level cards of anti-cold paint, and 5 R-level cards of small protective shields.
"Although the situation is critical, I was promoted to the rank of major last time for just a small protective shield. Now these cards are just right for dealing with the next round of natural disasters. I wonder how valuable they are?"
Even though Lieutenant General Liu and Deputy Wang had some guesses about Qiao Qiao's background, they were still surprised when he took out so many high-level cards in one go.
Lieutenant General Liu thought for a moment and knew that this transaction was the key to whether the follow-up could continue. Now they were the second party, and the cards in the other party's hand would be treated as guests of honor no matter who they traded with.
They had previously prepared the rank of colonel for Qiao Qiao. One has to know that being promoted twice in a row is extremely rare at any time, and the position of senior colonel is special. Although it is at the school level, it has always been a reserve for generals. Anyone who is awarded it will be promoted.
Qiao Qiao didn't say anything and continued to let the other party consider it.
Finally, Lieutenant General Liu took out his colonel badge and explained, "As long as you can make contributions in the beast tide, I promise to recommend you to be promoted to major general. By then, there will be no place in the country that you cannot go."
Qiao Qiao took it and gestured to Lieutenant General Liu, "I will be visiting three research institutes later. How about this permission?"
Seeing that the other party accepted, Lieutenant General Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, the colonel has the authority to review all projects of the institute."
After getting the assurance, Qiao Qiao did not linger any longer and stood up to say goodbye. "Time is tight, so we will leave first. We will have to trouble you again in the next few days before the beast tide and extreme cold arrive."
"It's not a big deal. It's what we should do." Lieutenant General Liu personally opened the door and saw him off. "Should I ask Xiao Wu to see you off?"
Qiao Qiao refused, "No need, we can just go there by ourselves."
"Okay, I look forward to our next cooperation."
