Chapter 200: Staying Overnight
The soldier has a straight posture, a straight nose, a wide mouth, thick hair and eyebrows, and looks righteous.
He looked at the magnificent city wall before him.
I was amazed that someone could build such a strong and hundred-meter-high city wall in the end times.
Chen Li then saluted towards the base to show his respect and gratitude.
"Excuse me, I'm Chen Li from the 113th Unit. I'm currently escorting Academician Ying back to the National Core Base. It's getting late, and the zombies are disturbing us out in the wild. I'd like to stay here for the night."
Hearing Chen Li's name, Xiao Qu also used the telescope set up on the city wall to observe.
Xiao Qu looked at the square face.
Although in his twenties and in the prime of his life, Chen Li's face is full of vicissitudes of life.
On the dark, dry and cracked skin are wounds of varying degrees.
"Chen Li, one of China's top 100 soldiers, has guarded the border for decades, apprehended over 300 border-crossing criminals, and recovered over 10 million yuan in lost property."
Su Yu listened to Xiao Qu's story.
Chen Li is truly a soldier who upholds justice and serves the country and the people.
However, Su Yu did not want to be alone because of Chen Li's glorious deeds.
So they let the entire team stay at the base.
After all, everyone in the base enjoys the base resources for free because they contribute their labor.
However, Su Yu didn't want to disappoint those who had contributed to the country and the people.
Probably because he noticed Su Yu's embarrassment.
As the city lord, Su's father also thought so.
Therefore, he thought of a compromise and said:
"The steel frame remains intact, allowing them to rest between the steel frame wall and the base wall."
"There's a gate embedded in the steel frame wall, and the gaps in the frame are narrow enough to withstand the zombies' attacks."
"This way, they won't be able to see what's going on inside our company, but they'll still get our help. We can also use this opportunity to get closer to Mr. Ying. Maybe he'll be willing to stay."
Chen Li, who was outside the base, had not heard any response.
In the last days, we must be on guard against others.
It is normal that the base is unwilling to take them in, but Academician Ying Hanshan is weak and cannot stay in the wild to guard against zombie attacks at any time.
The national zombie virus research urgently needs such people.
They must bring Academician Ying Hanshan back safely.
Chen Li opened the military backpack on his back. Although it looked bulging, it contained no valuable supplies.
He spread out the supplies he had on the ground.
Su Yu looked around.
They were all military field marching meals, more than ten compressed biscuits, and more than ten bottles of mineral water.
Chen Li patted the dust off the supplies and dry food.
"If you're willing to let us stay overnight, I can leave my own rations with you. Please."
When saying this, Chen Li felt a little unsure.
He looked at the date printed on the packaging bag and saw that it had expired several months ago.
The national core base is well-staffed and has strong construction and recovery capabilities.
But due to his level, he was not able to enjoy the latest production materials.
Only these expired dry foods can be consumed.
On the city wall, Dad Su had already used a rope to quickly slide down the wall.
Shao Cenzhi and Li Ze, who received the information, rushed over from another part of the base.
"City Lord."
"City Lord Su."
The two stood in front of Su's father.
More than a dozen service department staff members stood behind Li Ze.
They were holding dozens of folded tents, hundreds of sheets, and dozens of portable, fully-charged fans.
Behind Shao Cenzhi were fully armed members of the Security Department.
"The old man who will be arriving at the base to stay overnight holds a very high position in China and is engaged in scientific research. He can provide assistance to the base's zombie virus research. If possible, we will try to keep him here.
In addition, there are hundreds of people in military uniform, many of whom have made important contributions to the country, so we should do our best to help."
Dad Su explained the reason for calling them together.
"No problem, as long as they're not deliberately trying to get something for free, we're willing to help soldiers."
Li Ze spoke first.
They originally did not have a close acquaintance or relationship with the soldiers, but the security department led by Shao Cenzhi made the base members feel truly safe and secure.
Therefore, they will inevitably improve their favorability towards soldiers.
Su Yu teleported over and shook the space jade pendant.
Dozens of bite-proof suits and gas masks appeared in front of everyone.
"There may be zombie viruses or other pathogens lurking in their bodies. Everyone, dress well and be careful."
"yes."
Everyone responded and quickly put on their clothes.
The gates of the base wall correspond to the gates of the reinforced frame wall, so there is no need to worry about exposing the internal facilities by opening the gates.
The city wall is a hundred meters high.
A building that is 100 meters high usually has about 25 floors.
Currently, the tallest building built in the base is 18 stories high and will not be exposed.
Everyone was ready and the base gate opened.
"Our city lord agrees to let you stay overnight, but only within this area."
Li Ze put down the supplies in his hand and said to Chen Li who was ten meters away.
Seeing this, Chen Li quickly put his hands together and began to express his gratitude.
"Chen Li?"
Suddenly, a voice was heard.
Shao Cenzhi, who was fully armed, looked at Chen Li's face full of wounds and didn't even dare to recognize him.
"Captain Shao?!"
Chen Li looked up, his tone excited, as if he had seen a relative.
The two are old acquaintances.
When the all-round soldier was fighting on the border, he had a close relationship with Chen Li's team.
Shao Cenzhi once went to the border area to find Chen Li and others.
However, their entire team had already been transferred away by the country.
Chen Li looked Shao Cenzhi up and down, wanting to ask about his situation.
After choking for a while, he finally said, "You haven't changed."
Compared to Chen Li's vicissitudes of life.
With the nourishment of the base, Shao Cenzhi is indeed more energetic.
Moreover, Shao Cenzhi's appearance is different from the image of a soldier in the public's mind. His sharp edges make him look more like a young hero in a martial arts drama.
"Thank you. I'll go back and report."
Having said that, Chen Li headed towards the team.
It was still a few kilometers away from where Mr. Ying Hanshan arrived at the Miracle Base.
Li Ze and Shao Cenzhi led everyone to set up tents.
The tent was also thoughtfully furnished with sheets, making it look clean and tidy.
The thickened bottom of the tent can also prevent people from feeling nauseated by the grass.
Su Yu also helped with the arrangements in the team.
She thought, since she wanted to keep Mr. Ying Hanshan, she had to show the attitude of keeping someone.
But considering that he has national army escort.
It is obviously an order from a superior, and it may not necessarily lead to successful persuasion.
Therefore, Su Yu also agreed with Su Dad's idea.
Let them stay temporarily between the reinforced frame wall and the base wall.
It is now the end of July.
Although the temperature at night is not as torturous as in extremely hot weather, it is still very hot and stuffy.
Su Yu simply took out a few more ice cubes from the space and placed them around the tent to cool down.
"Boss Su, the people are here."
