Chapter 144 A New Roommate Arrives
Wang Xiaoer has been learning pinyin and Chinese characters with Hu Zi during this period. Not only has his speech become much more fluent, he can even hold a pen and write some simple words.
Hu Zi couldn't help but praise it with tears in his eyes: "Finally, it's at the level of first grade...it's not in vain."
That day, Wang Xiaoer was called to Gu Qinyuan's office.
Gu Qinyuan hadn't taken the initiative to look for it for a long time, so Wang Xiaoer was particularly excited: "Wang, is there something important?"
"Well, it's important. Come with me."
Gu Qinyuan took it to the data room next door, took out the key and opened the door.
The dark wooden door was pushed open, and Wang Xiaoer saw three zombies sitting together playing Landlord in the open space of the information room.
The third-level zombie threw out the last two cards in his hand and laughed wildly: "Royal bomb! I win, hahahaha!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the second-level zombie on the opposite side quickly poked it and gestured over there with nervous eyes.
"What's going on? Can't afford to lose?"
The third-level zombie followed its line of sight and saw Gu Qinyuan's speechless expression.
Its pupils shrank, and it stood up quickly: "...King."
Gu Qinyuan walked up to them and his eyes fell on the playing cards on the ground: "Who gave these to you?"
The third-level zombie confessed without hesitation and answered honestly: "Yan Chu gave it to me."
A level 2 zombie beside him added in a low voice: "She also taught me how to play Landlord."
Gu Qinyuan: “…”
...Indeed, who else could it be but her.
Gu Qinyuan rubbed his brows and said, "I will be leaving the base for a while. During this time, you are not allowed to step out of the data room. Wang Xiaoer, you will be responsible for supervising them. If there are any problems, report to my mind."
Wang Xiaoer's eyes lit up and he immediately felt his back straighten.
It was worth it that it had made the firm choice to follow the Zombie King early on. Now, it has become the king’s right-hand man!
The third-level zombie frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard this: "This guy is a second-level zombie, why should I listen to him!"
Wang Xiaoer boasted proudly, "Don't look at me as just a level two zombie. I have a name given by the king himself!"
The third-level zombie was surprised: "Name? What name?"
"Wang, Xiao, Er!"
Wang Xiaoer emphasized each word loudly.
Level 3 zombie: “…”
If the king's naming is at this level... forget it, it doesn't really want it.
After Yan Chu handed over all the work to Wu Yingzhou, she and Gu Qinyuan left Jiangcheng Base early the next morning and drove towards Mingri Base.
At this time in the Jiangcheng base——
After those troublemakers and fickle fence-sitters left, the remaining people were easy to manage. Wu Yingzhou quickly assigned them to various positions in the base that were short of staff.
As for Su Shu's new roommate Yue Xueer, since she has no special abilities and knows nothing about construction machinery, she has to be assigned to work in the cafeteria.
Su Su was very happy to hear this: "Great, I'm in the cafeteria too, we can cheer each other on together from now on!"
Yue Xueer curled her lips: "But I don't want to work in the cafeteria."
Su Su blinked in confusion: "But the base stipulates that everyone must work. If you don't go to the cafeteria..."
She counted on her fingers, "The planting area needs knowledge of farm work, the engineering department needs technical skills, and the patrol team requires special abilities..."
"Before the apocalypse, I was the human resources director of a listed company," Yue Xueer said proudly, "so it's almost appropriate for me to be in charge of the base's personnel scheduling."
Su Shu: “…”
That's unlikely.
Yan Chu personally made decisions on all matters, big or small, at the base. Even the nominal deputy commander, Wu Yingzhou, was actually just executing Yan Chu's orders.
Yue Xue'er keenly noticed Su Shu's hesitation. She suddenly took a step closer and asked in a low voice, "By the way, are you familiar with Commander Yan?"
Su Su was stunned, nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head.
She wanted to say that she and Yan Chu had a good relationship, but then she thought again, there seemed to be an indescribable distance between them.
But apart from Yan Chu, she couldn't find anyone else in the base who could be called a friend. Chen Qianxing, who was originally quite familiar with her, did not follow Yan Chu to this new base.
Looking at Su Su's reaction, Yue Xue'er raised the corners of her mouth in understanding.
"I saw her from afar today. She's such a young girl, and yet everyone is so confident in leaving the base to her? Aren't they afraid something might go wrong?"
Su Su tried to defend herself: "But Yan Chu has always managed the base very well..."
Moreover, there are not as many people in their base as in other bases, and the food reserves are sufficient, so almost everyone can have enough to eat.
Just having enough to eat is a rare achievement.
Yue Xue'er lazily played with her long hair hanging on her shoulders, her voice rising slightly with a hint of doubt:
"So, do you think Yan Chu really became the commander based on his own strength?"
Su Su nodded vigorously immediately: "It's true, she is really amazing, super, super amazing."
Yue Xueer's eyes turned: "How powerful is it? Tell me about it?"
Su Su immediately vividly described to Yue Xueer the heroic feat of Yan Chu clearing out 100,000 zombies alone.
When she was talking happily, Yue Xueer interrupted her: "Have you seen these things with your own eyes?"
Su Su was stunned and shook her head.
"Pfft," Yue Xue'er laughed out loud, her red lips curved into a mocking arc, "You actually took hearsay seriously? If you were really that powerful, you would have been famous by now, right?"
Su Su pursed her lips: "But everyone said so. They all saw that scene at the time. It's not just me..."
Yue Xueer waved her hand nonchalantly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to take a shower first."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the bathroom humming a song, leaving Su Su standing there, holding back all the words of defense in her heart.
As there are more people in the base, the cafeteria is now much busier than usual. New survivors line up in long queues, and noisy conversations are intertwined with the sound of plates colliding.
Yue Xue'er stood bored behind the food window, mechanically repeating the action of scooping food.
Suddenly, she stopped moving.
Through the dense crowd, a tall man was walking through the center of the cafeteria.
His cold, pale face glowed white under the light, and the shadow cast by his brows concealed a pair of bottomless eyes.
That handsome profile is particularly eye-catching in the cafeteria.
Yue Xueer's eyes were instantly glued to the other person, and the cooking spoon in her hand was suspended in the air, and she forgot to move.
"Hey, do you want to fight again?" The people in line at the window knocked on their plates impatiently.
Yue Xueer threw down the spoon and said, "No more fighting!"
People in the queue: ???
