Chapter 20 A particularly familiar scene
"Is this the Meicheng base?" Xiaoyi leaned on the car window and looked out, her eyes were round and bright, "What a high wall."
"We're here, let's get off." Tang Yichao was the driver, he parked the minibus and then walked in front to lead the way.
Xiaoyi followed the adults out of the car, her steps quickened a little, her heart was full of anticipation and nervousness.
"Mom! She's a monster!"
In the queue, a fat child pointed at Xiaoyi's face and screamed, "She's so scary."
"I..." Xiaoyi lowered her head, touched the scar on her face and hid behind Cui Xiuyun.
The excitement in her heart was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water.
Ji Heng had just walked out of the team that was testing mental strength. When he heard what the little fat boy said, his face darkened: "Try to say it again?"
The little fat boy saw that the adults in front of him were missing limbs, and he cried out: "Wuwuwu, Mom, they... they are so scary!"
The little fat boy's mother looked numb, but when she heard the child crying, she immediately turned around and picked up the little fat boy, frowned, and scolded: "Who are you? You scared my child! Apologize!"
"It was your child who spoke rudely first." Cui Zhan said what happened just now.
However, the woman insisted: "You are monsters! Did my child say something wrong?"
"I don't care, you just have to apologize!"
"You are so ugly and come out to scare people, it's your fault!"
The woman's voice was very loud, and the eyes of the people around looked over.
Cui Zhan was not good at quarreling. He was so anxious that his face turned red. He even pulled Ji Heng who wanted to beat someone up.
Cui Xiuyun squatted down to comfort Xiaoyi. Hearing this, she stood up, put her hands on her waist, and glared at the woman: "If your child can't speak, just shut up! If you say another word of bullshit, I will tear his mouth apart!"
"Bitch, you..." Seeing that the other party had more people and more power, the woman pulled her husband in front of her and shouted, "Your wife and son are being bullied like this and you don't say anything?!"
The man slapped the woman impatiently, pointed his finger at the woman's nose, and said coldly: "If you cause trouble for me again, I will be the first to throw you away!" The
woman covered her face and dared not speak immediately.
Seeing this, Cui Xiuyun rolled her eyes and took Xiaoyi to the end of the line.
It was almost evening when they arrived.
But there were still survivors coming from outside. They were at the end of the team but now they were in the middle of the long line.
"Aren't you going to help them?" Gu Bingchen and his companions were not in a hurry to enter the base and happened to witness the scene just now.
Long Yilan looked calm. When she heard Gu Bingchen's question, she shook her head and said, "I have arranged everything that needs to be said and done. The rest of the way is not my business. What happens in the future is their own business."
Gu Bingchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."
It's a pity that they are Jiang Yunqi's people, otherwise they would have dug them out.
"Where is Xiao Wanyue?" Long Yilan didn't see Chu Wanyue and couldn't help but feel curious.
Chu Wanyue has been avoiding her since the straightforward confession that night.
This broke Long Yilan's heart.
"Nothing, she went back to collect debts first." Gu Bingchen obviously remembered what happened that night, his eyes were unnatural, he touched his nose and made up an excuse.
Jiang Yunqi's eyes flashed a faint smile.
"Let's go, I'll tell them about the situation at the base." Tang Yichao ran back from the long line, his curly hair was messy and long, which made Long Yilan itchy.
She slapped his hair and rubbed it.
"You! What are you doing?!" Tang Yichao's eyes widened, covering his head and taking a few steps back to avoid Long Yilan's claws, "Don't you like girls?!"
Long Yilan tilted her head: "No, who told you that I like girls?"
Tang Yichao: "Ah???"
Didn't you just confess to his sister Wanyue? How come you fell in love with him in just two days!
Bah! Bad girl! She changes her heart so quickly!
Tang Yichao glared at Long Yilan as if he was looking at a ungrateful man.
"Why is he glaring at me?" Long Yilan looked back and asked Jiang Yunqi.
Jiang Yunqi knew his friend's temper. It was true that he liked Chu Wanyue, but that didn't mean she liked girls. She just liked pretty and cute things.
"It's different here. You should be more restrained." Jiang Yunqi could only say so much.
Long Yilan blinked and sighed: "Okay."
Gu Bingchen coughed twice: "Let's go, I'll take you to test your mental strength."
It was such a coincidence that the staff this time was the same staff as last time.
He glanced at Gu Bingchen and Jiang Yunqi, took the data sheet, and asked in a businesslike manner: "Name?"
"Long Yilan."
"Age."
Long Yilan blurted out: "If I'm not wrong, I should be 45 this year."
"45...how? 45?"
The staff member paused, feeling that this scene was so familiar.
"Oh, no, I miscalculated." Long Yilan slapped her head and turned to ask Jiang Yunqi, "Boss, how much did you fill in?"
She remembered that the boss seemed to be four or five years older than her.
"You can fill in 25." "
Okay, I'm 25 this year." Long Yilan directly reported a number according to what Jiang Yunqi said.
Gu Bingchen looked up at the sky in silence, and the staff member's mouth twitched twice.
You can still report your age like this.
Forget it, it's just a formality anyway.
"Well, come with me." The staff opened the all-white secret room and took out a helmet from the cabinet.
Jiang Yunqi took a look and said, "It seems different."
The staff said, "It's a brand new one."
He burst into tears when he said this. At that time, the damage report was submitted several times and was rejected because no one believed it was really broken.
It was not until someone came up to check that they found that it was really damaged, so they replaced it with a brand new upgraded one.
Long Yixing took the helmet, touched it curiously, and was amazed that the technology of Blue Star was not as backward as she imagined.
According to the instructions of the staff, she put on the helmet.
The display screen connected to the helmet showed a number that kept climbing up.
"Damn, it won't break again..." After the last shock, the staff seemed to be used to it, and he just silently prayed that the upgraded instrument would not break again.
As if his prayers were heard, the number that was about to explode leveled off and finally stayed at the value of A.
"Oh, there's another A-level here at the base." The staff member breathed a sigh of relief and filled out the form according to the facts, muttering, "An A-level also came to the base a few days ago, but I wasn't on duty that day."
Gu Bingchen and his brother put their arms around the staff member's shoulders and asked curiously, "Who is that person?"
The staff member frowned and paused for a long time before vaguely remembering the name on the form: "It seems to be Zhu, but I didn't see it clearly."
Last name Zhu, A-level.
Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen looked at each other, and both had a guess in their hearts.
According to the process, the staff member handed Long Yilan a purple nameplate and briefly explained the use of the nameplate and points. He
even thought of introducing the house.
"No need, she's with us." Gu Bingchen interrupted the staff member. If he
didn't hold back, Long Yilan would be tempted. Once she left, Jiang Yunqi would definitely follow.
That wouldn't do. He had finally brought them back. Even if they were not his team members, he couldn't let go of these two strong people with similar ideas.
"Your boss lives with me, why don't you live with me too." Still using the same excuse, Gu Bingchen lied again, "You don't have many crystal cores left, right? The rent at the base is very expensive..."
Before he finished speaking, Long Yilan nodded in agreement.
In her words, she would be wherever the boss was, and Chu Wanyue was also in the villa.
Plus the rent was cheap, so she was the winner no matter how you looked at it.
Gu Bingchen: "..."
Although, Wanyue, the boss might have brought back someone you don't want to see right now.
He felt a little guilty in his heart.
In the villa, Chu Wanyue had just finished collecting debts. Yes, it was the debt from Ningcheng University.
Yang Zian tried to evade the debt, but she beat him up and collected the money before the patrol team came.
Before she could sit down and drink some water, she saw Long Yilan running towards her, with the joy in her eyes about to overflow.
Chu Wanyue was caught off guard and was hugged by Long Yilan.
She squinted her beautiful almond eyes and rolled her eyes at Gu Bingchen unhappily.
Gu Bingchen: "..."
"You...let me go first." Chu Wanyue pushed Long Yilan away, said with a stern face, "Miss Long, I've said it before, I don't like girls, and I don't like you either. Please don't hug me without my permission like you did today. It's very rude."
Long Yilan was very tall. In front of Chu Wanyue, who was only 1.65 meters tall, she lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Okay, I'm sorry."
It seemed a bit too fierce?
Chu Wanyue lowered her voice: "I'm not scolding you..."
"I know, I was reckless." Long Yilan smiled brightly, "It's my love that has brought you inconvenience, I won't do it next time."
"But can I really not pursue you?" She looked at Chu Wanyue expectantly and nervously.
"No!" Chu Wanyue suddenly blushed and her heart beat fast. After leaving a bag of crystal cores, she went straight upstairs.
It looked like he was running away.
"Alan." Jiang Yunqi wanted to say something but stopped, and finally just sighed helplessly.
Long Yilan blinked, a little confused.
What's wrong? If you like someone, you have to say it.
The dark night was quiet and gloomy. The wind outside howled coldly, as if telling some unknown story. The leaves were rustling in the wind. At midnight, a black shadow flashed past the window like lightning and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In a villa in the center of the base, an old man with gray hair lay quietly on the bed, as if he had no breath and heartbeat.
A sound of footsteps came from far away, and the steps sounded unhurried.
The handsome boy was locked in the basement. He raised his head and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
"The old man really raised a good dog that can bite people. Even I was fooled."
"Master, your mouth is still as sharp as before."
A young man wearing black-framed glasses walked out of the darkness.
