"Their relationship isn't good?" Kachi's heart skipped a beat. If their relationship wasn't good...
"Kachi?" Ji Yueyao noticed Kachi was lost in thought and leaned over to call her softly.
Kachi snapped out of her daze, the thoughts that were about to flash through her mind vanishing. "What's wrong?"
“I remember Xu Yajun said she was going to do long-term work somewhere?” Ji Yueyao thought for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. “Could it be because of this?”
“I remember that, but didn’t she later say she wasn’t going because the pay wasn’t good?” Kachi frowned, clearly looking troubled.
"Then Kachi, you should still go look for her tomorrow." Ji Yueyao thought for a moment, reached out and patted Xu Lingnan beside her, and pouted, "But I only found out now that you two are siblings. You really kept it a secret."
"Didn't I already say we don't get along?" Xu Lingnan's tone carried a hint of anger, startling Ji Yueyao. Then she suddenly realized that Xu Lingnan might not actually disregard his sister.
"Don't worry, Kachi will find her," Ji Yueyao reassured her.
Xu Lingnan realized that his attitude was not good. He scratched his head and said with great shame, "I'm sorry, Captain, I was indeed a little worried."
The people at the table suddenly fell silent. Lin Xuan looked around at them, then seemed to suddenly realize something and exclaimed. Under the unanimous gazes of everyone, he took out an identity card from his pocket. "Captain, your identity card information has been corrected. You submitted one alien core."
Since Ji Yueyao is now the captain of the search department, his accommodation and social status will change, and his identity card will naturally need to be replaced. The first replacement of the identity card is free, but subsequent replacements will require payment from the alien core.
Ji Yueyao took the identity card and found that the information on it was indeed different. "How many points does one heterocore require?"
"Ten points," Lin Xuan replied.
So expensive?! Ji Yueyao carefully put the ID card into her pocket, suddenly remembering that when Mu Yanxuan dealt with the ant-like strange birds, he seemed to have directly corroded them. Did he also deliberately corrode the strange cores? Wouldn't that be too wasteful?
If she had known that heteronuclei were so expensive, she would have picked up more back then.
“However, Captain,” Yao Lin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up as he looked at the transparent glass in front of him, “the search department still doesn’t seem to have issued any official order to appoint you as captain.”
"It hasn't been issued yet?" Kachi suddenly realized this as well. "This shouldn't be the case. The Yueyao mission was very successful this time. It shouldn't be dragging on any longer."
"Could it be the effect of Qiao Ying's death?" Xu Lingnan brushed the hair that was bothering him aside, looking quite nonchalant.
"Don't overthink it now. It's probably just that the higher-ups haven't noticed." Ji Yueyao shook her head, not really concerned about these things. "Besides, I need to find time to take on a search mission these next few days to earn some points."
Upon hearing that Ji Yueyao was going on a mission, the people at the table were all taken aback. "Captain, don't you have enough points right now?"
"It's not that we don't have enough points, it's just that the points charged by the medical department are too expensive." Ji Yueyao felt that all these messy things piled up at once and she was really fed up. "I don't need to issue some big missions that require the entire staff to be mobilized. Sending one or two people on small missions is enough to keep us quiet for more than a month."
"Captain, are you still paying for Qiao Ying's brother's medical expenses?" Lin Xuan asked, frowning.
Ji Yueyao sighed and nodded slightly. "I've already made one payment, but I've applied for compensation from higher authorities. They should be able to provide points for Qiao Xiong's case."
Will they offer points? Lin Xuan thought that since they didn't care about Wei Kang's situation, wouldn't Qiao Ying's younger brother Qiao Xiong's situation be even more insignificant?
What if we don't offer points? Lin Xuan watched Ji Yueyao rubbing her temples wearily, but ultimately didn't ask the question.
Ji Yueyao was, in the end, just an eighteen-year-old girl. It was only because of her victory in the newcomer competition that she easily became the team leader of the search department... Easy? Perhaps not. The effort she put in may have far exceeded that of all of them.
The men here are all older than Ji Yueyao. After making her shoulder all this burden, can they really put any more pressure on her?
Having said everything that needed to be said, Ji Yueyao told them they could all go back and rest before dragging her heavy steps back to her room.
Stepping into his bathroom, Ji Yueyao casually took off all his clothes and scooped up a spoonful of water to pour over himself from head to toe.
In this era, drinkable water and food are becoming increasingly scarce, but undrinkable water is not lacking. This water is usually transported directly from rivers and seas and generally carries foreign viruses. However, apart from being undrinkable, it is perfectly fine for bathing.
Looking at the girl in the mirror in front of the bathroom, Ji Yueyao stared blankly. She still had the same short hair and the same face, but her body was covered with many scars. Some were from falls, some were from knife cuts, and... Touching the scar on her neck that had almost slit her throat, Ji Yueyao couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
After drying herself off, Ji Yueyao collapsed heavily onto her bed, closed her eyes, and suddenly recalled the scene of her family eating together.
That's right... life was so pleasant back then...
"Mom, I feel like the world around me has distorted."
Ji Yueyao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
She seemed to remember that scene. It was when she was shopping with her mother before. Suddenly, a person was hit by a car and thrown to the ground covered in blood. In her terror, she seemed to realize that her vision had suddenly become blurry, as if... the space around her had been distorted.
Although it was only for a moment.
"Honey, you were just scared." That's all she remembered her mother saying, and fearing it would leave a psychological scar, she quickly took her away from the scene of the car accident.
Why did I suddenly think of this? Ji Yueyao tapped her head wearily and turned off the desk lamp beside her.
Go to sleep, she's really tired.
Kaqi left early the next day, while Ji Yueyao was also all ready to go to the bar in the East District to find Xiao Yaru.
"Captain, you're only just getting up?" Yao Lin asked vaguely as he sat at the dining table reading and eating breakfast, noticing Ji Yueyao looking like she was about to leave.
"Ahem." Ji Yueyao looked at the few people who had all gotten up, feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm going to the East District."
"Hey Captain, I'll go with you." Lin Xuan, who was doing push-ups, quickly jumped up and said to Ji Yueyao.
Ji Yueyao nodded without objecting, but then glanced at Yao Lin and Xu Lingnan and asked, "Are you two going or not?"
