Chapter 386 A Lifelong Event
The two entered the meeting room, where their teammates were already present.
Before April, the weather was as hot as midsummer.
Everyone took off their combat uniforms, put on short sleeves, and sat around the conference table, heads down, browsing the forum.
Apart from Qi Ling, everyone else was too busy to look up and say hello.
Yun Zhao casually found an empty seat and sat down; Tao Haohao was to his left.
"Haha, this person is so funny."
Tao Haohao laughed so hard he pounded the table, then leaned over to share with her, "He said that the first time he entered the contaminated area for a mission, he actually fired a signal flare as a lighting flare, which attracted a large swarm of mutated flying insects, and the whole team was busy fighting off the insects."
"Hahaha, what kind of idiot from which base would do something so stupid?" Duan Xi laughed along, doubled over with laughter.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao also opened his communicator to check.
Song Liang looked up and said, "Judging from the profile picture, which features a red-crowned crane and indicates that they are on a mission in a contaminated area, they should be from our base's operations department."
Duan Xi: "..."
"Could it be He Xun from the second team?"
Rabbit leaned over and gossiped, "I remember when the second team came back from their first mission, He Xun was punished by Minister Duan."
"It's more interesting to watch other people make fools of themselves."
Duan Xi refreshed the forum and quickly found something new to amuse himself: "Hahaha, someone actually posted a marriage proposal, requiring anyone to be a guide, regardless of gender!"
"Let me see!" the rabbit exclaimed, perking up.
Qi Ling saw that his teammates were all overjoyed and really didn't understand their excitement.
After all, in his time, forums were a very outdated internet phenomenon.
The base's forum was originally intended for information exchange, allowing everyone to easily share experiences and improve their skills.
As a result, the sentries' morale was worrying.
It went astray on its very first day of launch.
Xie Tu walked over and gently tapped the table. "Everyone, focus and get ready for the meeting."
He finished speaking.
Minister Duan appeared at the door, carrying a stack of documents as he entered the conference room.
The entire team quickly packed up their equipment and sat down.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Qi Ling silently took out her account book.
Yesterday, Captain Xie bought 15 jin of meat at the inner city shopping center. He bought the most expensive and best pork shoulder and tenderloin, which cost 100 points per jin.
19860 plus 1500...
He owes Captain Xie a total of 21,360, and he doesn't know if the reward can make up for the debt.
Minister Duan has already taken his seat at the head of the table.
Song Liang's mission report was submitted this morning.
The mission did not achieve the expected results.
But for the operations department, the safe return of all personnel is a victory.
"I have already read the mission report."
Minister Duan opened the documents and began to summarize the mission: "This mission targeting Contaminated Zone 111 has encountered a new type of apocalypse, a knowledge gap that the Operations Department has never encountered before."
"I've already asked the intelligence team to compile the relevant information and upload it to the internal system later."
Minister Duan then gave Qi Ling an approving look, "Qi Ling played a significant role in this mission, successfully bringing out a large amount of supplies and providing knowledge and science popularization to the team during the mission."
Qi Ling felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.
Minister Duan continued, "Although we did not fully achieve our expected goals, we made breakthroughs in ecological research and material reserves in the polluted area..."
Yun Zhao sat between Tao Haohao and Xie Luzhong, seemingly listening attentively, but his thoughts had already wandered far away.
It's obvious.
This report is written from Song Liang's perspective.
There are too many suspicious points in the report.
Yun Zhao pondered how she should answer if Minister Duan asked.
To everyone's surprise, Minister Duan didn't ask any questions.
After summarizing the tasks, we began to discuss the next task.
"The Dawn Base has submitted a joint mission application. If you have no objections, the base will approve it directly after verification. The mission is scheduled for half a month from now," Minister Duan said.
Xie Tu nodded: "No objection."
Minister Duan nodded, and then immediately began distributing the task rewards.
The settlement sheet, signed by the base commander, was distributed to everyone.
Team Zero's first mission of the new year failed. Contaminated Zone 111 did not collapse, and the points reward this time was entirely due to the batch of supplies they brought out.
The supplies were not food at all.
There were also ammunition, small machinery and equipment, and daily necessities.
The reward points for non-technical items are not high.
There are still seven people to share it.
However, since food is currently a necessity, the base has increased the bonuses for this part in order to incentivize the combat teams.
That translates to over 14,000 points per person.
It was higher than Yun Zhao had expected, making it a very generous bonus.
The teammates seemed to think the same way.
"The base is impressive! It's taller than I expected."
"Let's go! Old Song, let's go to the shopping center to buy some things for your niece."
"I want to go too! I need to buy two new outfits."
Qi Ling looked at the settlement statement in her hand and realized that she couldn't make up the debt, which made her feel extremely distressed.
After receiving this reward, he still owed the team leader nearly 7,000 points.
But he needs to eat every day before entering the next contaminated area, and he'll probably incur a huge debt again.
He has also discovered that his teammates usually take turns treating each other to meals when they get together.
He is now one of them.
We can't keep eating for free.
The teammates had already taken their points settlement sheets, stood up, and walked out.
Yun Zhao was just about to leave.
"Yun Zhao, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Minister Duan called her over.
Yun Zhaoxin trembled, thinking that Minister Duan would ask her about the clues in the contaminated area.
She subconsciously looked at Xie Tu.
Xie Tu awkwardly glanced away. "I'll wait for you outside."
Yun Zhao: "?"
She quickly found out what Minister Duan wanted to say to her.
Minister Duan wore a kind smile and tried to make his tone gentle: "What do you think of your captain's character?"
"The captain is an outstanding person. He is not only highly capable, but also cares deeply about each and every one of us."
Yun Zhao answered almost instinctively, then paused, "They also take special care of me."
Minister Duan nodded. "I have already reviewed your matching report."
The tone shifted, becoming somewhat tactful, "Do you... have any plans to settle down and get married?"
Minister Duan treated the two men in completely different ways.
Fearing that bringing it up abruptly would make things awkward between the two on the same team, he could only probe her thoughts in this subtle way.
Yun Zhao was clearly taken aback.
A life-long commitment?
Marriage?
No wonder Fire Phoenix knew this word.
Personal matters were brought up so abruptly, especially in this setting.
Yun Zhao's heart was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
She hadn't thought that far ahead.
There are still many things left undone.
To understand one's own identity and find the whereabouts of one's father.
There's also Pollution Zone No. 6, like a boulder blocking her path in life.
Thinking of her eight uncles, she felt uneasy if she didn't bring them home every day.
When Minister Duan saw that she was silent, he seemed to have already made up his mind.
"It's nothing, I was just asking. Your teammates are still waiting for you outside, go shopping with them."
Minister Duan stopped there, his words filled with understanding and respect.
Yun Zhao snapped out of her reverie, pursed her lips, and said, "Minister, I'll be going now."
"Go."
