Chapter 72 Returning to the Fifth Base
No matter how painful it was for Zhu Caining, she had to put on a brave face. After all, at this time, how many people hadn't lost their loved ones? After wiping away their tears, they still had to get up strong and keep moving forward.
That evening, when Lin Ze saw the room where Zhu Caining was sleeping, he frowned. He wondered if it was arranged by his mother, but since Uncle Zhu was also there, could it be that Uncle Zhu had given his permission?
But he absolutely couldn't let the girl stay there. He said to Zhu Caining, "You can stay in my room first. After I tidy up tomorrow, I'll stay here."
Zhu Caining paused in making the bed, straightened up, looked at the young man with a furrowed brow, and smiled: "No need, I won't be staying long, I'll be leaving tomorrow."
Lin Ze asked in confusion, "Where to?"
Zhu Caining curled her lips: "The Fifth Base." That's where she wanted to go, mainly because Ye Shang was there.
She always felt lucky to have met such a powerful boss like Ye at the very beginning of her escape, and that she was almost never in danger of losing her life along the way.
Lin Ze looked at the smile on her face and pursed his lips tightly: "I don't know, but I wish you good luck."
Zhu Caining smiled and nodded in agreement.
After Lin Ze finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room, but all he could think about was his older sister, who was just over seventeen years old and had just finished the college entrance examination. It was a pity that she didn't have a university now.
Nowadays, people are struggling to survive; who has time to think about their studies?
A week later.
Zhu Caining has been staying here quite well these past few days, except the bed is a bit small. Today she plans to return to the Fifth Base, and will treat this place as a place to visit relatives from now on. So she got up very early this day, tidied up a bit, and left the room.
After breakfast, Zhu's father instructed, "If you have the chance, remember to come back often."
Zhu Caining thought about the process of returning and decided against it. Before, everyone went to the base chief together to get the order signed, but she didn't have that ability now. Going home from time to time was impossible, but she still smiled and nodded: "I know, Father."
When Zhu's father heard her shout, he was taken aback. Sure enough, his daughter still harbored resentment.
In the past, Zhu Caining would always hold his arm and call out, "Dad... Dad..."
Lin Ze was also watching from the side. They had only just met, so it was impossible for them to be very familiar with each other.
But since we'll all be family from now on, he still said, "There's news from the First Base that they might open up travel routes between several bases later."
He didn't know how to activate it; he was just a simple tasker working in the search team, earning points to exchange for food.
Zhu Caining raised an eyebrow. "Okay, I understand."
She hasn't heard about this yet, but she can ask everyone when she gets back. Brother Xie might have more detailed information.
After going through a series of procedural checks, Zhu Caining returned to the Fifth Base. When she opened the door and entered the house, she saw Chen Zui playing with Zhao Xin and her brother.
She managed to suppress a laugh, mainly because that brat Chen Zui had actually smeared black oil on the faces of the two siblings.
After Zhu Caining returned to her room and put down her luggage, she came downstairs and asked the two little ones to wash up.
Then, looking at Chen Zui, she said, "Your superpower is oil, which is so dangerous. What if it accidentally catches fire and burns down? Two lives would be lost."
She made a bit of a fuss, but she still hoped Chen would remember it; this was no joke.
Chen lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong, Sister Zhu, but I also wiped it on my face."
His face was also completely black.
