290 Jinjiang Exclusive
Qin Fei's appearance made Ye Zhizhi feel the joy of reuniting with an old friend.
She really didn't expect to see Qin Fei at this moment. Since Qin Fei returned to the army, he almost disappeared. They only sent messages to each other once or twice in a year or two, and the messages were very delayed. They had no immediate contact.
Besides that, there were the occasional express parcels, most of which were food from all over the place. Ye Zhizhi, who was always happy to receive food, wanted to send some local specialties back, but she didn't know Qin Fei's exact whereabouts, and even Senior Sister Liang didn't know.
Ye Zhizhi guessed that he might have spent most of his time carrying out some secret mission.
She had no choice but to give up, and she understood it very well. They all had careers to strive for, which was good, even though the opportunities to meet were few and far between.
So when Ye Zhizhi suddenly saw Qin Fei at this moment, he was very surprised.
From the first day he met Qin Fei, he had always been very good to her. He even gave her guidance and helped her a lot when she was confused. Ye Zhizhi had a good impression of Qin Fei.
It can be said that among all human beings, apart from her family and Qian Duoduo, Qin Fei is one of her favorite people.
Although Ye Zhizhi's aesthetic sense has been distorted a little, she can now slowly distinguish the beauty and ugliness of humans. Generally speaking, Qin Fei is the most powerful human she has ever met. His appearance and temperament are also among the best.
Now that he was wearing this suit, his aura was more condensed and he looked much better than before, which she found surprising.
Ye Zhizhi looked him up and down carelessly, which made Qin Fei, who was already straight, straighten his back even more. While Ye Zhizhi was observing him, he was also staring at her, his eyes scanning her face inch by inch.
She was living well in the jungle, full of energy, bright eyes, and vigorous appearance... just like when I first saw her in the jungle, full of vitality.
Qin Fei felt relieved and then looked away.
Ye Zhizhi jumped onto the boat in two or three steps and sat down, asking curiously: "How many days of vacation do you want? How long will you stay at the base?" She thought that Qin Fei appeared here at this moment because he was taking a rare vacation. The rainy season was about to come, and the flights were probably suspended. Could he stay until the beginning of next spring?
Ye Zhizhi felt that there shouldn’t be such a long vacation. Could it be that he was recuperating from his injuries?
She sniffed and smelled no harm.
Qin Fei rowed away. The wind on the river was strong. His voice was gentle and carried by the wind into Ye Zhizhi's ears. "Uncle Li has been transferred out of the base. After careful consideration, the higher-ups have ordered me to be stationed here."
Only then did Ye Zhizhi know about the transfer order. Although she was quite familiar with the troops stationed at the base and would occasionally go there for training, such transfer orders were generally not transmitted to the research institute in advance. The two parties belonged to the same base and were actually under the jurisdiction of each other, but there was also a relationship of protector and protected.
Ye Zhizhi guessed that it might be related to the fact that the base had been constantly spied on and attacked in recent years, and that more and more people had been sneaking into the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi produces several results every year, many of which are coveted around the world.
Uncle Li had fended off many malicious intruders over the years, keeping the base impenetrable. Those with ulterior motives initially plotted to break in from the inside, but Ye Zhizhi, with her keen sense of human perception, could spot anyone with ulterior motives, and she uncovered many spies. Now that internal scrutiny was becoming increasingly stringent, it was even safer.
Since they were unable to make a breakthrough from within, more people attempted to harass from the outside.
Uncle Li's ability is unquestionable, but he has been here for many years and is getting old. He is no longer suitable for front-line missions. With his merits, he will naturally be promoted and transferred to other places.
Ye Zhizhi had never expected that the person who would succeed Uncle Li would be Qin Fei. Qin Fei had reached this position at this age, which was extremely impressive.
She gave a thumbs up.
Qin Fei couldn't help laughing. Despite the strong wind, he rowed the boat with ease and continued to care for Ye Zhizhi. "The jungle in the next area is getting more and more chaotic. Are you in any danger?"
Qin Fei came back this time with a position, which also gave him authority, and he had a deeper understanding of the surrounding jungle and neighboring areas.
The Ninth District has mercenaries composed of retired soldiers and base troops patrolling from time to time. Compared with other districts, it is relatively peaceful. I don’t know if they want to cause trouble for them. The control of the borders in other districts is much looser, and many illegal people sneak into the Ninth District.
There is a time difference between Ye Zhizhi's entry and exit of the jungle and human activities. Moreover, she will avoid humans. As long as she does not show up actively, humans will not be able to find her. She does not pay much attention to whether other areas are in chaos or not. Anyway, as long as it does not endanger the jungle, she does not care.
"If humans see me, they will be in danger." Ye Zhizhi said confidently. She was not afraid even if humans had weapons in their hands. Of course, if the weapons were particularly powerful and uncontrollable, she would still have to be cautious.
But when it came to the chaos in other areas, Ye Zhizhi frowned. This jungle was so vast that she usually passed through Area 9 whenever she entered or left, rarely going around other areas. When she was in the jungle, she stayed in the central area, where humans couldn't enter. She had no idea what the situation was like outside the other areas.
The one that Qin Fei stamped as messy meant it was really messy. Does she have to spend time cleaning up other areas as well?
Ye Zhizhi always felt that her time was running out and she wished she could learn the art of splitting herself into a hundred or eighty clones. Even her idea of exploring the entire jungle has not been realized so far. She has walked through less than one-third of the jungle.
She has more important things to do now...
Qin Fei seemed to sense Ye Zhizhi's distress and said, "Leave it to me." Although he couldn't go into the jungle and into his own back garden like Ye Zhizhi did, he was still able to help.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhizhi looked at Qin Fei again.
As long as it does not affect her jungle companions and her own research, Ye Zhizhi will also share some less eye-catching things with her human family and friends. Qin Fei has naturally eaten things that he thought were ordinary wild fruits. Moreover, she has also researched something that can enhance human physical fitness.
Qin Fei's physical fitness is among the best in the entire human race. He has also been tempered by several life-and-death crises. His physique has long broken through the limit and undergone a qualitative change. Otherwise, how could he withstand the beatings from her for longer?
Ye Zhizhi nodded secretly. With his ability, he should have no problem protecting himself outside the jungle. Otherwise, why not find a stronger animal group outside and let them protect him to avoid being attacked by animals as much as possible?
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but think of the wolf pack that had walked out to the periphery that year. She had tamed the leader directly, and they had also helped monitor humans. Unfortunately, there were only three orphaned wolves left.
Ye Zhizhi actually doesn't like these animals on the outskirts of the jungle. Their scent is very different from that of the animals in the deep jungle. They are more complex and turbid, and their IQ is not as high, and they are more violent.
Ye Zhizhi guessed that these carnivores outside had eaten humans to some extent, and the taste of humans was memorized in their genes. They had long regarded humans as prey.
When she hunts, she always chooses vegetarian animals, unlike in deeper places where there are no humans, where there are no taboos.
If Ye Zhizhi asked these predators to protect Qin Fei and the others, she was afraid that she would not be able to deter them without them, and they would not be able to control their hunting instincts.
Those predators in the deep jungle have higher IQ and self-control...
Well, although Qin Fei is trustworthy, in order to avoid any accidents, humans cannot be allowed to go too deep. Watching their predators not only has to deter other predators, but also has to limit their range of activities.
Ye Zhizhi frowned. She was thinking about suitable animals, but she didn't want them to come out. This was not a good thing. She should look at the junction next time to see if there were any suitable animals. If she could subdue them, they would help her.
If they hadn't controlled their instincts... I believe Qin Fei and the others would have escaped.
Ye Zhizhi nodded.
Qin Fei had long noticed Ye Zhizhi's rich and changing expressions. He did not interrupt her thoughts, but concentrated on rowing.
On the wide river, a lone boat broke through the thick fog and slowly approached the shore.
As the boat swaying on the river stopped, Ye Zhizhi jumped ashore, looked back at the shadowy primitive jungle on the opposite bank, and then returned to the base with Qin Fei.
Stepping onto the open space in front of the familiar research institute building, Ye Zhizhi had just closed the car door when Qin Fei called him.
Ye Zhizhi turned around, and Qin Fei took out a weapon like a magic trick and handed it to Ye Zhizhi.
"What is this?" Ye Zhizhi took it, pulled out the scabbard, revealing the sharp blade.
"Spoils of war." Qin Fei spoke concisely, with a hint of high spirits between his brows.
"Good knife!" This is a short knife, only half the length of an arm. The quality of the knife is very special and I have never seen it before.
Ye Zhizhi was very surprised.
Ye Zhizhi has a large collection of cold weapons, which has filled up two rooms. Half of them were collected for her by Qin Fei and his family. However, since she came to the base, there is no space for her to store the weapons, so when she came here, she only took a few of the weapons she was most familiar with.
Because of frequent use in the jungle, her dagger was a little blunt, but she didn't replace it because she didn't go back.
Qin Fei looked down at Ye Zhizhi, and seeing her pure joy, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his lips. "It is said that it was tempered with extraterrestrial minerals. In terms of toughness and sharpness, it is unmatched."
Qin Fei was delighted to see the prey. The first time he got the dagger, he thought of Ye Zhizhi. They had the same hobby, and one could imagine how Ye Zhizhi felt at the moment.
Now that he really saw this scene, Qin Fei felt a sense of joy, which was even more satisfying than if he had it himself.
"Do you like it?"
Ye Zhizhi nodded without hesitation.
"It's for you."
Ye Zhizhi had no intention of being polite. When she heard that it was a gift for her, she accepted it with a smile.
But there is a give and take, since Qin Fei gave her a gift to welcome her after a long separation, Ye Zhizhi also prepared to give Qin Fei a gift in return.
She rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a handful of fruit.
This was a wild fruit that I had used to satisfy my hunger and quench my thirst in the jungle. It had been stored for a while and looked a bit dry. Qin Fei took it and tasted two without any disdain. "Delicious."
Qin Fei admired Ye Zhizhi very much. No matter how many times he saw him, he could not imagine how free and wonderful Ye Zhizhi's life was in the jungle where no one could survive for long.
"Let's talk later when we have time!" Ye Zhizhi waved her hand. There were a lot of plants in her backpack that needed to be processed. Since Qin Fei would be stationed at the base, it would be convenient to contact him in the future, so there was no rush.
Qin Fei did not try to keep her. He watched her run briskly into the building before looking away.
He still had a few unattractive wild fruits in his hand, which he carefully put into his pocket. Finally, he returned to the car and slowly drove away.
The rainy season arrived on the night after Ye Zhizhi returned. She didn't get to see the human boy who came to visit the base this time, but she saw a lot of videos specially recorded for her.
Qian Duoduo kept chattering and she listened carefully, and made a video call with her human family before the signal was completely lost.
Afterwards, Ye Zhizhi went back into the laboratory and continued his research.
There was a thunderstorm outside, and the strong wind bent the tree trunks as thick as buckets, and all the protective equipment at the base became useless.
In the water mist with visibility less than one meter, countless black shadows approached quietly.
The war broke out unexpectedly.
On the battlefield where hot weapons are affected by the magnetic field, both sides almost always use cold weapons and fight with fists and feet.
The chaos on the ground ended after more than two hours when the attackers withdrew. The research institute deep underground was completely undisturbed until Qin Fei appeared in front of Ye Zhizhi. She sniffed and said, "Here they go again!"
Although Qin Fei had changed into clean clothes, she could still smell the lingering smell of blood in the damp vapor.
"The scale of this year's attacks is different from previous ones. I guess many forces are involved."
Qin Fei was not surprised that Ye Zhizhi noticed that his eyes were cold and serious.
The base is usually heavily guarded and can communicate with the outside world in a timely manner. However, during the rainy and snowy seasons affected by the jungle, the base is isolated and helpless and can only rely on human patrols for defense, which is the best time for a surprise attack.
But no one expected that the attack would happen on the first day. Fortunately, they never relaxed at all, and fortunately, the base had just increased its troops this year.
Ye Zhizhi asked with concern: "Are there any casualties?"
"More than 30 people were injured, but fortunately none of them were in danger of life." Their men were the best of the best, and their physical fitness had been enhanced. Each of them could fight against many enemies at once, but even so, many were still injured.
"That's good." Ye Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Fei came to the underground research institute specifically to re-check and send more people to patrol to make sure that no one had escaped.
He didn't stay long. After telling Ye Zhizhi to be more careful, he left to get busy.
After hearing the news, Ye Zhizhi simply put down what she was doing and walked out. She asked Qian Duoduo to lock the door of the laboratory and emphasized that it should not be opened for anyone except her. Then she went out to check if there was anyone lurking in.
This is what Ye Zhizhi does every time after the base is attacked. The main reason is that the base is too large. No matter how strict the artificial protection is, no one can guarantee that no one will sneak in. Ye Zhizhi, who has the most sensitive five senses, can easily smell whether there is any strange breath.
Ye Zhizhi turned around and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one had broken through the defense, but then he felt heavy again.
This is not a good thing to continue. If she is attacked every year, not only will there be casualties, but her research may also be affected. She has to think of a way to make people afraid and not dare to cause trouble easily.
However, before Ye Zhizhi could come up with any solution, Qin Fei, who occasionally took on the task of patrolling the research institute, appeared in front of her. He seemed to see what she was thinking from her sad face, and told her not to worry and just concentrate on her research.
"You are not alone." Qin Fei looked at her and said seriously, "You still have the elders behind you. We will not let you be bullied."
Ye Zhizhi blinked, looked up at Qin Fei for a moment, suddenly smiled, and nodded heavily.
Yes, the protective head of the family will definitely have a way. She just needs to wait quietly. She doesn't need to care about these troubles. She just needs to focus on research.
Ye Zhizhi felt relieved and quickly put these trivial matters behind her and continued to work on her research. She wanted to race against time to produce results as soon as possible.
