Chapter 112 Fruit Trees
Xie Tu grunted in agreement, glanced at the three people at the door, and went out of the warehouse to make a phone call.
The three men received a signal from their captain and, not daring to slack off, quickly went into the warehouse to work.
Everyone moved very quickly.
Tao Haohao easily lifted the entire shelf and placed it in the position pointed out by Yun Zhao.
The rabbit helped organize the household items area.
Duan Xi then searched for the condiment cans in the pile of supplies and gathered them in one area.
As more people gathered, the atmosphere became lively.
Everyone chatted while they worked.
The rabbit saw a pile of baby formula and diapers and suddenly remembered something, "Have you heard? Old Song's sister is pregnant."
“I know. I went home with Lao Song this morning and heard about it from his parents,” Duan Xi said.
Senior Sentinels, due to their heightened senses, are unable to live with their families.
Most of them live alone in soundproof houses provided by the base.
But it's not far from home, and when I'm not on duty, I often go back to visit my family and have a meal with them.
A small number of sentinels will live with their partners after finding one.
It would be even better if your partner was a guide.
The bond between sentry and guide is for life.
When the two are deeply integrated, their mental frequencies gradually match, establishing a profound mental connection that can only be broken by death.
There is a 90% chance that offspring will inherit the abilities of one of their parents.
Song Liang's older sister is a B-level guide, and her brother-in-law is an A-level sentinel.
Unsurprisingly, their child will also become a guide or sentry in the future.
Duan Xi pushed a shelf to the corner, placed bottles and jars of seasonings on it, and gossiped with Rabbit: "Brother-in-law Song is still on a mission outside. This morning, Song Liang and I went over, and Uncle and Aunt were talking about it, wanting to bring his sister home to take care of her."
The rabbit asked, "Is his brother-in-law at sentry post number 36?"
"Hmm." Duan Xi shrugged. "I was just transferred there at the beginning of this month, and I won't be back for two months."
"Then go home and live there."
The rabbit was a little envious: "The guide isn't bothered by information and can stay wherever he wants..."
Tao Haohao patted the dust off his hands and said casually, "I'll have Lao Song bring some milk powder and diapers back tonight."
Yun Zhao rarely chimed in, "I heard that pregnant women tend to get hungry in the middle of the night, so you can get some milk and snacks."
"good."
Everyone agreed.
The rabbit specifically dug out several large bags and filled them with some milk powder and diapers.
Apart from snacks, other supplies were divided between the two bases.
The amount of milk powder is not too much. As for the other unused supplies, we'll have to ask the team leader what to do with them.
Yun Zhao spent a long time browsing the snack section, then took more than a dozen bottles of side dishes and stuffed them all into a bag, which he asked Song Liang to take home that evening.
Rabbit and his friends also picked out some snacks and fast food to take home and eat.
Xie Tu never returned.
Even after Song Liang came to call them to eat, they still hadn't seen anyone.
"Is the captain deliberately slacking off and not wanting to do any work?" Duan Xi whispered to them.
Yun Zhao said quietly, "You could actually say that to his face."
Duan Xi bluntly stated, "I wouldn't dare, but do you?"
Tao Haohao shook his head violently. The captain was very vengeful, and he didn't want to be caught doing something wrong and have to spend a whole day shooting at targets on the training field.
"Qi Ling's situation is complicated, and I estimate it can't be explained over the phone in a short time."
The rabbit suggested, "Why don't we go look for someone?"
He had just finished speaking.
Xie Tu slowly walked out from training field number 5 on the side.
"Captain, how's Qi Ling's situation?" Tao Haohao asked in his loud voice.
Xie Tu nodded slightly: "We only talked briefly. Researcher Qi plans to come over in person to do a paternity test."
However, the tone of his voice on the phone was subtle.
After learning about Qi Ling's situation, the researcher Qi did not show the slightest bit of kinship.
The tone was more like that of someone looking at a mutant species of great research value.
He is a scientist who studies polluted areas, with a passion for rare experimental subjects and a desire to explore unknown phenomena.
But we can't draw any conclusions until the person arrives.
Xie Tu did not intend to express his feelings.
He called to his teammates, "Let's eat first."
The group had no idea what he was thinking.
Upon hearing that dinner was served, Tao Haohao rushed back to the warehouse and brought out two large bottles of orange juice. "We'll drink this tonight!"

While Team Zero was having lunch, the bus from the planting area returned to the inner city.
Zhao Yan got off the bus with the other people in the town, thanked the driver repeatedly, and then went home together to the outer city.
In order to save points, everyone chose to walk back instead of taking the bus.
The people of Qingshan Town chatted as they walked.
"The departure times seem to be a bit late lately; today it didn't depart until 7 a.m."
The townspeople dared not urge them on; they could only send people to guard the boarding point while the others continued working in the fields.
"I overheard the people in the car talking. It seems they were sentries from the operations department who brought back a lot of seeds from the contaminated area."
An older woman said, "Those experts are conducting seed cultivation experiments, and they get off work later than usual, so the drivers have to wait for them."
"This is a good thing. The more seeds we can plant, the easier our lives will be in the future."
After being at the base for so many days, the people in the town have learned that private buying and selling of grain is not allowed.
But fruits and vegetables are acceptable.
"How about we ask around another day if they sell any fruit trees? We can collect some points and buy some to plant along the edge of the fields," Yao Qian suddenly suggested.
The fruit grown at the farm is a luxury item and sells for a very high price.
This could be a considerable income in the future.
I agree!
"I agree!"
Everyone thought it was feasible.
They were the only people in the town who owned land at the base, and the planting area on the back mountain was guarded by sentries, so they weren't afraid of their crops being stolen.
"But aren't fruit trees very expensive?"
Sister-in-law He nudged Zhao Yan and hesitated before saying, "Aunt Zhao, why don't we ask Yun Zhao?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Qian interrupted Zhao Yan before she could answer, saying, "No need, Zhao Zhao is quite busy. Why would we need to trouble her to buy a fruit tree?"
"Yes, let Lao Liu go and ask him tomorrow. He's bold and dares to talk to those experts at the research institute."
Aunt Wu turned her head: "Old Liu, don't you think so?"
The man, called Lao Liu, was in his forties, short, and thin with dark skin.
Old Liu was bold; less than two days after arriving at the base, he dared to wander around and strike up conversations with people.
After they acquired the land, they went to work on the back mountain.
When Lao Liu encounters the planters, he will greet them as if nothing is wrong and chat with them for a few minutes.
Unlike the rest of the town.
Seeing those planters, so reserved and focused on their work, not daring to speak to anyone at all.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask when I go there tomorrow," Old Liu said vaguely.
He knows it perfectly well.
The reason people were willing to talk to him was because there was no precedent for the base's planting land being given away to private individuals.
The people of Qingshan Town are seen as special by these public officials at the base.
Everyone assumed they had powerful backers.
Old Liu wanted to get close to those planters and build good relationships with them.
Little did they know, the other party thought the same thing.
