On the first day of the new year, several teams that were sent out found that two people were missing when they returned. The military then sent people out to look for them, but found that there was no trace of these missing people. It was as if they were still in the team carrying supplies in the previous second, and they were nowhere to be found in the next second.
In the next two days, Cao Wei sent more people to search for supplies and also specially arranged for people with special abilities to go in, but there were still fewer people from time to time.
Cao Wei in the office frowned slightly and looked at Shang Nuan, "Nuan, how many people have disappeared since the first few people appeared?"
"Basically, there are one or two fewer people every time we go out, and a total of 12 people are missing." Shang Nuan replied from the side.
"It seems that someone did this on purpose, but what was that person's purpose?" Cao Wei was puzzled.
"Commander, I think this matter may be a little troublesome. We need the help of Chen Wan and others." Shang Nuan reminded from the side.
Cao Wei also nodded and said, "I'll go with you. Oh, and buy some gifts for the baby. We can also consider it a visit."
"Okay." Shang Nuan hurried to prepare after receiving the order, while Cao Wei changed into casual clothes. After all, it was not appropriate to wear a military uniform when visiting someone's home during the New Year.
Shang Nuan used her points to buy a big bag of snacks for the little guy, and also bought a lot of plush toys. When she went back to report, she saw Cao Wei, who was wearing casual clothes, sitting at the desk looking at documents, and she was stunned for a moment.
After the end of the world, Cao Wei basically wore military uniforms on all occasions. The fact that she was wearing casual clothes at this moment really caught Shang Nuan's attention.
Cao Wei wore an off-white sweater with a V-neckline, which accentuated her fair complexion and refined temperament. She also wore black wide-leg jeans and a pair of Martin boots. Seeing Shang Nuan standing there blankly, she coughed softly and reminded him, "What are you doing standing there? Do you want to be my door god instead of my adjutant?"
Shang Nuan's ears turned red as she hurried in with her things. She pursed her lips and glanced at Cao Wei again, unable to hold back from saying something unrelated to business, "You look pretty good in this."
Cao Wei didn't expect Shang Nuan to say that. She coughed lightly and said unnaturally, "Who asked you to look at me? Have you bought everything?"
"I've bought everything. They're all things kids like." Shang Nuan said with a smile.
"Well, go change your clothes and come with me." Cao Wei looked at the military uniform on Shang Nuan.
Said.
"Okay, I'll go back and change right away." Shang Nuan was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. At that time, she and Cao Wei were not wearing military uniforms. Could she talk to Cao Wei as a friend?
She went back and changed into a black turtleneck sweater, a camel coat on the outside, white thick fleece jeans and a pair of casual Martin boots. Shang Nuan looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied with the clothes she was wearing.
After changing clothes, Shang Nuan got up and went to pick up Cao Wei to go to Chen Wan and the others. Cao Wei was wearing a black coat, which was very different from her usual look in military uniform. She looked a lot gentler and her aura was not as strong as when she was in military uniform.
Shang Nuan was holding something to give to Zizi in her hand, but her eyes were secretly looking at Cao Wei.
There were always people peeking at her, so Cao Wei couldn't help but notice. She coughed lightly and looked at Shang Nuan, reminding her in a somewhat unnatural tone, "Can you please look where you're going? I'm not an Omega, why are you always staring at me?"
"Can't I watch it just because I'm not an Omega? Besides, we're outside now, and we're not wearing military uniforms. Isn't it normal for us to get along as friends?" Shang Nuan smiled and even moved closer to Cao Wei.
Cao Wei glared at Shang Nuan and reached out to push her: "Friends don't have to get so close to me, it's weird."
"It's not surprising, other friends get along with each other like this." Shang Nuan dared to disobey her superior's wishes at this time and moved closer to Cao Wei without any obedience.
Cao Wei had to be careful of the slippery road along the way, and she also had to be on guard against Shang Nuan getting close to her. By the time she arrived at where Chen Wan and the others lived, her forehead was sweating.
Cao Wei knocked on the door a few times without noticing Shang Nuan beside her. Shang Nuan had already taken out a tissue to help Cao Wei wipe the sweat from her forehead. As she wiped, she smiled and said, "Why are you sweating in such a cold day? Let me wipe it for you. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"I can do it myself. You don't need to help me." Cao Wei was about to reach out to grab Shang Nuan's hand when the door of 301 was opened by Chen Wan. Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Wan felt that he seemed to have opened the door at the wrong time.
Seeing Chen Wan looking at her and Shang Nuan, Cao Wei's ears turned slightly red. She pushed Shang Nuan's hand to indicate that she didn't need to wipe it. She coughed lightly and said to Chen Wan with a smile, "We two came to visit without saying hello. Can you please not disturb us?"
"Don't disturb me, please come in." Chen Wan said with a smile.
The little one also ran out with her short legs, wanting to see who was coming home. She saw two people she didn't like.
The little guy hugged Chen Wan's thighs with his little fleshy hands and acted coquettishly and shyly when he got to know the beautiful aunt.
Chen Wan looked at her leg pendant with amusement and chuckled, "Little rascal, come and say hello to the aunties. What's wrong, Baoer? Why are you still shy?"
The baby finally poked his head out from behind Chen Wan and greeted shyly, "Hello, aunties, and Happy New Year."
"Hey, Yangyang, hello, happy new year. Come here and let your auntie hug you." Cao Wei took off her coat and handed it to Shang Nuan who was standing beside her.
The little guy was eager to try, but after hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his little fleshy hand towards Cao Wei.
Cao Wei smiled and picked up the baby, "You are so cute."
When Zaizai was praised by Cao Wei, he embarrassedly buried his little face in Cao Wei's arms and acted coquettishly.
Cao Wei chuckled and said, "She's also shy, how funny."
"Come in and sit down. We are going to have hotpot for lunch. Commander Cao, why don't you stay and have lunch with us?" Chen Wan said with a smile.
"Okay, sorry to bother you then. But you don't have to be so serious in private. Just call me by my name." She then went to play with the baby in her arms, "Yangyang, look, auntie also brought you some toys and snacks. Do you like them?"
"I like it." Zizi responded obediently.
Seeing that someone had come to his house, Qin Ke went out with Shen Mingyan and used his points to exchange for some mutant fat beef.
Cao Wei held the little guy for a while and then handed him to Shang Nuan. The little guy was also very curious about Shang Nuan, but she liked all the pretty aunts. The little guy would rub his little face against Shang Nuan from time to time to act coquettishly.
Shang Nuan was so happy holding the soft little guy. The base had finally settled down. She hoped that babies like Zizi would be born in the base in the future, which would require more efforts from the soldiers.
Cao Wei smiled at Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin, then said after a moment's hesitation, "Actually, I came here today because I need to trouble you. It's Chinese New Year, so I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. Since we live in District One, it's our duty to do something for District One." Chen Wan replied with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be frank. In recent days, people have been missing from the teams sent out on missions from District One. It's not that there are large-scale casualties, but there are always one or two people missing every time they go out. I think it's likely that someone is targeting us, but I haven't figured out what the other party is thinking for the time being." Cao Wei told Chen Wan and the others what she knew.
"At least one or two people at a time? It's like a cat and mouse game, or
They're playing psychological warfare with us." Chen Wan said as he pondered.
"Yes, I sent people out to investigate, but found nothing, so I think your team can go along next time the base goes on a mission. Of course, the military will give you double the points." Cao Wei said.
"No problem, we will go even if we don't get double points." Chen Wan said with a smile.
After discussing things, Jiang Yanxin took out two rice cookers. Since there were many of them, they had to eat at two tables every time.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, but the baby was still clinging to Shang Nuan's arms, Chen Wan chuckled and said, "Yangyang, mommy is holding you. It's already dinner time, and you're still letting your aunt hold you. Aren't you ashamed?"
The baby shyly rubbed Shang Nuan and acted coquettishly. Shang Nuan chuckled and excused the baby: "Yangyang is cute, isn't he?"
The baby nodded his little head to show his agreement. Chen Wan chuckled and brought the baby over to eat.
She picked up the meat and vegetables from the tomato pot for her baby, and the little guy ate them with relish.
Cao Wei and Shang Nuan also relaxed and ate hot pot with Chen Wan and the others.
"It's really hard to survive a New Year's celebration as lively as your team's. In the apocalypse, the team members are like family." Cao Wei couldn't help but sigh as she saw how close Chen Wan and the others were.
"You and Shang Nuan are the same." Chen Wan said with a smile. Thinking of the scene he saw when he opened the door just now, Chen Wan added: "I mean, you and Shang Nuan are like family."
Cao Wei smiled and nodded. "Yes, I've known Shang Nuan for eight years now. Thinking back on the past is quite interesting. Don't look at Shang Nuan as cool now. When she first joined the army, she was only 18 years old, just an adult. I was the instructor of her class of recruits. When I went back to the dormitory to rest at night, I heard crying in the corridor safety passage. I walked over and found out it was Shang Nuan crying, like a little cat. I tried to comfort her, but she would show her claws and scratch me. So many years have passed in a flash."
Shang Nuan's ears flushed as she tugged at the hem of Cao Wei's sweater, muttering softly, "Stop talking! Give me some face."
"How dare you save face in front of me?" Cao Wei joked with her with a smile.
After a pleasant meal, Cao Wei and Chen Wan decided on the time to go outside the base to investigate missing persons tomorrow, and then said goodbye to Shang Nuan.
On the way back, snowflakes began to fall again. Shang Nuan remembered what Cao Wei said at the dinner table, and felt itchy inside. She leaned over and asked, "Do you still remember what happened so many years ago?"
Cao Wei glanced at her, chuckled, and said, "I'll never forget this. You're the crybaby of all the recruits I've ever led, and you're an alpha."
"Hey, don't be like this. I don't cry anymore." Shang Nuan's ears were red. She picked up a handful of clean snow from the ground and threw it at Cao Wei.
Cao Wei fought back, unwilling to be outdone. It was only because the snow was heavy and there were few people around, and it wouldn't be good if they could see her, that she and Shang Nuan could play so recklessly in the snow. Once the snow stopped, she would be back to being the calm and composed Commander Cao who prioritized District One above all else.
