Chapter 705: The Great Tang Dynasty. Right to Action
Perhaps because they heard their conversation, the door of 904 opened with a click, and a woman in a long floral nightgown came out. Although her figure was not graceful, she looked good. Like most people in the last days, she had rough skin and a yellow and black complexion. She must have not lived in the inner city for long.
"Mom, didn't I tell you not to come up here casually? If the building manager finds out, you'll be fined points. Your second son's job is not easy." The woman said with an unhappy look on her face.
The old lady was even more embarrassed, but she still smiled and said, "I just wanted to return the points to you two as soon as possible, so I came up in a hurry."
The woman's eyes lit up, "Mom, you have points, how much are they?"
"Not much, 3 points."
"It's just 3 points." The woman sighed as she picked up her phone. "Okay, it's better to have some than nothing. Mom, don't blame us for being stingy. Your second grandson is still a grandson. We are trying to collect points to send him to school as soon as possible. This is also a serious matter, isn't it?"
The old lady nodded, "It's business, it's business."
While he was talking, 3 points had already been transferred.
"What grade of medicine did you buy for the old lady's children?" asked the woman.
"Hey, I bought third-class medicine, but Xiaofeng inhaled less, so he should be able to wake up."
"Third-class medicine is also worth 30 points, which is good enough. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate." The woman showed a trace of worry at this time, "I don't know when this poisonous fog will disappear."
But don’t go beyond the 4th floor, otherwise the remaining children and the old men and women in the old family will have to live in their house.
After giving the points, the old lady went back immediately and was extra careful when closing the door.
Chu An and the others had returned to the house a long time ago, but Gu Ye walked around and came out to look for Chu An. Plus, he had good ears, so he heard most of what happened.
He went into Chu An's room and told her what he had heard. If nothing else, the fog antidote here is divided into three grades, which is a bit confusing.
Chu An thought about it and didn’t say much. There were so many weird things happening in the base.
She took out three people's spare clothes, bedding and toiletries from the space and asked Gu Ye to send a set to Lao Chu.
The conditions of the apartments here are much better than those in the outer city. They are a bit like the ordinary chain hotels in the past. Bedding and toiletries are very complete, but they all need to be purchased downstairs using points. She just bought a bar of soap and refused the others.
The quality of the goods is really not satisfactory, and there is no intention to promote consumption in the inner city.
"Go to bed early tonight and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Chu An said.
"Okay, then I'll send it to Uncle Chu first."
Dangdangdang——
Before the two of them finished talking, Lao Chu came over by himself and Gu Ye opened the door for him.
"Girl, I'm hungry." Old Chu touched his deflated stomach.
Chu An held her forehead with her hand. She was not hungry and had even forgotten about dinner!
As the three of them were in her room, they moved the only desk in the room to the middle.
She took out the dishes she had ordered from the restaurant, including salted shrimp, spicy spareribs, stir-fried mushrooms, sea cucumber soup, side dish platter, beans, bacon and rice, and the shrimp and crab marinated by Wang Ce. Gu Ye and Lao Chu were both willing to eat them, but Chu An thought they were better if steamed.
While eating, she reminded, "There is water and electricity in the room, use it when you need it, don't save it, but come to me for drinking water."
"Didn't Xiao Ci contact you?" asked Lao Chu.
"not yet."
As soon as Mou Ci came back, he seemed to have disappeared, but Chu An knew that he was really busy, so he could only leave a message.
After eating and drinking, Chu An took out some fruits for dinner, including strawberries, peaches, cherries and grapes, all in disposable fruit plates with lids, and asked them to take them back to eat.
"Don't throw away the seeds and cores, put them in the fruit bowl for me."
She had to be careful when she went out, as there might be people rummaging through the trash cans. She also noticed that there were more surveillance cameras in the inner city. Although there were none in the house, there were quite a few in the corridors.
"Then I'll apply to exchange for an apple so I can eat them all." After saying that, Lao Chu returned the peaches and cherries to Chu An.
Chu An, "..."
After seeing Lao Chu and Gu Ye off, she washed up again and it was already half past nine.
Just as she was about to lie down to rest, the phone rang. It was Zhuona calling, and she hurriedly pressed the answer button.
Zhuona's voice was very excited. She first expressed her longing for him, and then started gossiping about the recent news in City C.
Baili Lu and Zhong Hua were locked up, or at least sent to mining. Gao Chong and Li Mei were expelled from the base, and many other people were also expelled.
Chu An knew that he would definitely receive a call regarding the follow-up, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Director Wang was still the decisive and efficient old fox.
Moreover, they let Zhuona play, just as a chat between close friends, without involving any relationships, and it would not be considered as leaking base secrets.
She had never met Baili Lu. Zhong Hua, Gao Chong, and Li Mei were all related persons in the incident of buying a mobile phone in City C, so they deserved it.
During this call, Zhuona did not mention Liu Shuang at all. She must have let go of the grudge between them. In the past, no matter what Zhuona said, it would always end up being about Liu Shuang.
She actually wanted to ask how Liu Shuang was doing, but since Zhuona no longer cared, why should she bring it up?
When you become strong enough, those obstacles that you couldn't overcome and the people that you couldn't face in the past are no longer a problem.
"By the way, Xiao An, I have started to take apprentices now, hehe..."
Not only did Zhuona take on an apprentice, her own scavenging team had already made it into the top 20 in the scavenging team rankings.
In City C, as long as the scavenging team ranks in the top 50, they will receive the minimum food and clothing subsidy, which is also a symbol of strength.
Niu Li has turned the Fire Phoenix into an organization similar to a scavenger union, which will seek justice for some bullied scavenger teams.
I chatted with Huo Sisi a few days ago. They are trying to get the qualification to hold a competition, just like the competition held by the C City Base before. They can set rewards and give honors. If they succeed, it will prove that the Fire Phoenix is an officially recognized organization, and its status will rise rapidly.
Chu An is really happy for them!!!
…
That night, the three of them thought they could all have a good sleep, but the next day they all had panda eyes. No one should laugh at each other.
Old Chu was thinking about Feng Zhuoyi, Gu Ye was thinking about the Sun family, and Chu An was happy for Zhuona. After the excitement wore off, he felt the bed was uncomfortable again. He finally found a comfortable position, but it was almost dawn.
The three of them understood each other tacitly and had a simple breakfast in Chu An's room. Today's schedule was to go find Feng Zhuoyi.
Chu An took out the little bee backpack, which was big enough to serve as a cover when taking things out of the space.
When they went out, they saw Zhou Zhou waiting in the lobby.
Zhou Zhou stood up hurriedly, "The captain has urgent matters to deal with, so he asked me to accompany you to familiarize yourself with the inner city environment for a day."
Chu An knew that they were all very busy, so he told him to go back, saying that no matter how big the inner city was, he would not get lost. Zhou Zhou refused to leave, so Chu An called Mou Ci again, but he didn't expect that he answered the phone, and that's when he convinced Zhou Zhou.
However, after hanging up the phone, she felt that something was wrong with Mou Ci's environment, as if he was in a hospital.
She was afraid that Mou Ci was injured and didn't tell her, so she called him again.
"It's not me who's injured, it's my old leader who's in bad condition. Don't worry, Shengtang Hospital is fully equipped, and the doctors were transferred from Beijing."
Although he said this, he had no confidence at all. From yesterday to now, three critical illness notices have been issued.
"Mou Ci, the commander wants to see you." Commander Zhuo searched for a long time before finding him at the stairs.
"Yes, I'll be there right away." Mou Ci put down the phone and sent another text message to Chu An: Go out less recently.
Before it was sent out, it was changed to: Be safe when going out.
After thinking about it, I finally changed it to: Recently, the Blue Gold Association will not be quiet, and you can kill them directly when you encounter them. After posting it, I felt that this was in line with the purpose of letting Xiao An come once.
He returned to the corridor and Zhuo Hao patted him on the shoulder. It had been difficult for everyone during this period and everything was self-explanatory.
Mou Ci came to the bedside of Commander Tang. Mrs. Tang had already been helped down to rest. Only Chief of Staff Jiang and Minister of Armed Forces Han Dagu were by the bed.
"Xiao Ci is here, Old Tang, open your eyes and take a look." Chief of Staff Jiang gently shook Tang Zhen's shoulder.
Tang Zhen first exhaled heavily, then slowly raised his eyelids, and the first thing he asked was, "Has the reserve been delegated?"
"Hey, Old Tang, don't worry about those things for now. You want to see Xiao Ci, right? The person is already here." Chief of Staff Jiang beckoned Mou Ci to come closer.
Tang Zhen turned his head with difficulty. Mou Ci was half squatting beside the bed, holding his slightly raised hand, "Old Chief, I am Mou Ci, I am here."
"Okay... I feel relieved that you are in the inner city."
Three days ago, reliable information was sent back from the military secret line that the remnants of the Blue Gold Society were organizing a large-scale riot, which could not be stopped by the Public Security Bureau and the action team.
After Tang Zhen learned the news, he immediately told the base commander and asked him for the right to act.
The troops were external defense forces and normally did not participate in maintaining stability in the inner city. Before, Mou Ci had no military position and few members, so crossing the line was crossing the line. However, in order to suppress the riot, the base commander had to be authorized to move a large force into the city.
They were very cautious and were most afraid that Tang Zhen would take advantage of the opportunity to seize power and refuse to give in. Finally, after mediation by the capital, they demanded that the military produce strong evidence of the riot before considering the right to act. That's why Mou quit his job and went to the outer city to investigate.
As a result, within two days after Mou resigned and left for the outer city, Tang Zhen suddenly fell ill and the doctor issued three critical illness notices.
