Chapter 371 Joining the Resistance (2) - Training Begins
Ning Shu didn't expect that the base, which looked dilapidated from the outside, would become so different as she went further inside that it finally looked like a human settlement.
She felt that the rebels' living environment was similar to that of rats in the city, both preferring to develop underground.
The first time I met Li Dong, the current leader of the resistance, was in a basement.
Now, joining them means living in an environment almost like a basement.
Xiang Yun led her to a place that resembled a dormitory building, and stopped in front of the third room on the right: "This is your dormitory. There are four people living in it. Go in."
Once inside, Ning Shu found two girls. Xiang Yun introduced them to each other and gave them a word of advice before leaving:
"I'll tell the dorm manager to bring you some supplies later. You can rest now, and you'll start training with them tomorrow."
After learning more, Ning Shu found out that her roommates were named Qingqing and Li You. There were only two of them at the moment, because another person had recently passed away, and no one was currently occupying her bed.
When the roommates recounted the incident, one was filled with grief, while the other had a numb expression.
Ning Shu didn't dare ask how he sacrificed himself, nor was there any need to ask. Perhaps one day in the near future, she would become one of them.
In the evening, the dormitory manager finally delivered the living supplies Ning Shu needed, which were things like bedding, a mouthwash cup, and a toothbrush.
Of course, there are also some regular uniforms and training uniforms.
After Ning Shu made up her bed, she suddenly asked Qing Qing, "Do you all have personal computers?"
Qingqing shook her head: "If the quantum computer isn't good enough, it's not very private and it's easy for people to track you. Almost no one in our base uses it."
It will only be used after they eventually leave the base, become logistics personnel, and return to being ordinary citizens.
It turns out the logistics personnel were going to leave the base!
"What do logistics personnel usually do?"
Although Xiang Yun gave a brief explanation, it wasn't very detailed, and Ning Shu still wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Qingqing explained: "Usually, it's just finding a job, being an ordinary person, receiving some financial support each month, and being responsible for things like delivering messages. Anyway, it's all pretty simple work."
Those are very peripheral personnel, with almost no opportunity to get involved in core tasks.
Ning Shu didn't care much about this. To her, whatever she did was a fight for humanity.
Everyone has their own role to play. If you're not going to be the vanguard, there's no point in going to your death.
Even if she dies, she should die with value, not mindlessly throw her life away.
At dinner time, Ning Shu went to the cafeteria with her roommate. The food in the cafeteria wasn't particularly delicious, but it was at least a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.
In Chongzheng Building of Youcheng, Si Zhong glared at Si Chen, who was sitting behind the table: "Brother, didn't you say I would see A Ning when I came back from the mission? Where is she?"
After Ning Shu was knocked unconscious by the electric shock, Si Zhong stayed by her bedside, but suddenly received a mission notification that he had to leave for a while.
Fearing that he would be distracted while on his mission, Si Chen promised him that he would not touch Ning Shu and would deal with it after he returned.
As a soldier, Si Zhong had to carry out his mission.
He asked Xia to come and help take care of Ning Shu, but when he returned, Ning Shu was nowhere to be found.
Xia also told herself that she had never seen Ning Shu before, and that Ning Shu had disappeared when she arrived.
Si Zhong understood everything. His brother said one thing and did another, something he would never have done before.
Si Chen snorted coldly: "She insisted on leaving Youcheng, saying she had to go out on business. How could I refuse?"
What if she really dies here? Won't you blame me? She promised me she would come back before I let her go.
I even asked Xiaolan to follow her and protect her safety, but she ran away on her own. You can ask Xiaolan if you don't believe me.
Xiaolan brought back all the surveillance footage from the supermarket, but unfortunately, the cameras had already been damaged.
I think her claim of going to run errands was a pretense; she was really planning her escape.
At this point, Si Chen glanced at Si Zhong meaningfully: "Are you sure she really loves you?"
If she loves you, why can she leave you so without hesitation?
She probably has no relatives here, where could she go?
Si Zhong was stabbed by Si Chen's first words, and then stabbed by his last words.
Whether she loves herself or not is not important; she will fall in love with herself sooner or later.
She longed to find her parents, but they were no longer with her. Where could she go?
Being in an unfamiliar place, will she be deceived or bullied?
What if she's really being bullied? If I'm not there for her, who can help her?
"I'm going to find her. If you have any missions, have someone notify me and I'll be back as soon as possible."
Si Zhong couldn't bear to imagine Ning Shu being bullied.
Si Chen knew that Si Zhong wouldn't give up until he tried, so he didn't intend to stop him from going to find someone. He only gave him a word of advice:
"Blue Star is not yet Soya's star system. Don't go too far, or you'll be confined for another year. By then, she'll probably be ashes."
Si Zhong, who was originally preparing to conduct a thorough search, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He remembered that Haicheng was the home city of the Luo Yi Star people.
The other party has the same level of control over the area as the Soya aliens do in Youcheng, so it's indeed not advisable to go to great lengths to find them.
Although Luo Yixing needed Soya Xing's help, he had always harbored the sinister intention of surpassing Soya Xing, and he absolutely could not allow the other party to find any fault with him.
"I understand," Si Zhong said sullenly, and then left.
Si Chen watched Si Zhong's figure disappear outside the door, then leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
Although that woman has left, her influence on her younger brother remains. He can only hope that she won't do anything reckless and reappear in front of Si Zhong.
Otherwise, don't blame him for being ruthless.
The next day, Ning Shu went to training with her roommates. The coach was also a woman, about the same age as Xiang Yun, named Yu Feige.
Almost all of her trainees were girls, which puzzled Ning Shu. Weren't there any boys?
Qingqing seemed to know her question and whispered to her, "We train separately for men and women because of differences in physical fitness, so the training intensity is different."
Ning Shu realized that this was similar to the pattern of her era.
Ning Shu was a newcomer and usually stayed at the very back of the team. Coach Yu was just as strict as Coach Ying, and Ning Shu adapted quite quickly.
Because she had been injured and was recovering through rehabilitation training, she could accept the intensity psychologically, but her body could not, and she couldn't keep up with the training.
Finally, Yu Feige couldn't stand it anymore and asked her to come out alone to do basic training first.
During a break, Ning Shu noticed that some people were looking at her unfriendly, while others were directly mocking her.
"They can't even keep up with this much training? They're such a waste."
"I heard she's a gamer, so it's normal for her to be a bit useless. We should understand."
"Understand my ass. I don't know how Team Leader Xiang could agree to take in someone like this."
"I heard it was arranged by higher-ups, so there's probably nothing the team leader can do..."
