There was a look of fatigue between Fu Yan's brows, and his hair and beard were untidy. You couldn't tell at all that he was only in his thirties.
Pei Xiqing had never seen the marshal in real life, but he knew him from the plot.
He spent the first half of his life trapped in the battle between the apocalypse and zombies.
Five years after the apocalypse, all his hair had already fallen out. Ten years after the apocalypse, he finally met his capable assistant Xiao Yue. With Xiao Yue's help, he gradually stabilized the apocalypse, and abdicated in time, allowing Xiao Yue to steal the limelight and establish his own apocalypse base.
What follows is the scene where Xiao Yue leads the apocalypse to a higher level.
This marshal, whose hair turned gray in just five years because of the apocalypse, also disappeared without a trace and no one knows where he is anymore.
At first I thought the description of him in the book was a bit exaggerated. How could a man in his early thirties, about the same age as Duan Xiaolin, look so old? But when I saw him today, I felt that the description in the original plot was even worse.
The worries of the end of the world can really make people lose their minds overnight.
Fu Yan saw Duan Xiaolin, his eyes full of anticipation, and immediately stepped forward, "Xiaolin, you're finally here."
Duan Xiaolin: "Marshal."
"You're back now! I thought you really wouldn't come back! It's worth it no matter how long I wait!"
Duan Xiaolin said: "I did delay them on the way. On the way, I met a few blacksmiths in the wild who said they were taking orders from the base."
Fu Yan quickly held his hand and said, "It's nothing. The Chief Judge is fully committed to the base. A delay on the road is nothing. Even if I have to wait a few more days, it's worth it to have you here."
His eyes were filled with relief.
It can be seen that he is really afraid that Duan Xiaolin will really leave the base and resign. Then not only will his hair be chopped off, he may not even be able to keep his hair.
"As for the order you mentioned, I know about it. It was indeed my instruction, but I only authorized five places and asked outsiders to help. It's a mutual benefit. This is a small matter."
"Haven't you been back for a while? Has the base reached the point where it needs outsiders to handle the weapons issue?" the man asked sharply, with a hint of mockery in his voice. "By the end of the fight, you're not planning on sending your men into battle unarmed, are you?"
Fu Yan frowned. "There's nothing we can do about it. We simply don't have enough people in the base. We can only find another way now. We can use crystal cores to create weapons. The power of weapons cannot be underestimated. They can make up for the difference in personnel. I promise you, no matter what the circumstances, we will never let our men die."
Fu Yan added, "Let's go up to the palace to discuss this. There are too many people here and the higher-ups have already made all the necessary arrangements."
"It is better to obey than to be respectful."
Fu Yan was followed by a dozen high-ranking officials from the base, and they were extremely respectful to Duan Xiaolin, but when they looked at the woman behind him, they were a little confused and surprised.
“Who is this…?”
How come there is a woman beside the Chief Judge who has only had Officer Franlon by his side for many years?
Long Yan hurriedly emerged from the crowd.
He moved over and held Pei Xiqing's hand.
"This is the Miss Pei I've been talking about to the Marshal all this time, Pei Xiqing. She was smart and brave in the wild and saved Ling Lang and me several times."
She didn't expect to meet Long Yan again so soon, and she was a little surprised.
"Sister Long Yan."
Long Yan held her hand and said, "There was also the black market before, and Miss Pei's labor."
This puts all the burden on her.
Pei Xiqing almost didn't react.
When did she save anyone? And did she save Long Yan and Ling Lang?
Long Yan winked at her, motioning her to continue.
Pei Xiqing understood immediately.
He looked up and smiled politely at Fu Yan.
"Hello, I'm Pei Xiqing."
"Miss Pei, it turns out to be you. The wilderness is different from the base. You are very smart." Fu Yan smiled. "I heard Ling Lang talk about you too. That guy went out on a mission today. Maybe you can meet again later."
"Thank you, Marshal."
Fu Yan had a polite smile on his face.
Although he seems friendly, he actually has a slight sense of alienation, which makes people feel very distant and it is difficult to discern his true intentions in a short period of time.
Fu Yan understood what she was doing when he saw her standing next to Duan Xiaolin. He didn't ask anyone to go downstairs. He just said, "Then Long Yan, take Miss Pei downstairs to rest. I'm sure you must have been tired after the long journey. We still have things to discuss, so we might have to wait until very late. You can also have something to eat while you take Miss Pei downstairs."
Duan Xiaolin said, "I asked my wife to come along because I wanted her to learn more along the way. I'll make arrangements once we're done. Let's go to the conference room first."
This statement made everyone look surprised.
He was even grinning.
