"Not bad," she asked, "they didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
Duan Xiaolin asked back, "Did someone give you a hard time?"
"A few angry people came over just now, but it wasn't a big deal. They left quickly. What about you? They know we're from headquarters, so they might be a little resistant."
"Not yet," he said. "They don't dare. Some cases require approval from headquarters before they can take action."
"for example?"
"Weapons, technology, and the maintenance systems of the base below all need to be connected to headquarters. Otherwise, this base will collapse in no time due to lack of technological means."
"If you put it that way, does that mean the other party actually wants something from you?"
"Yes."
Pei Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, I thought you were going to be bullied."
After finishing her meal, she sat on the chair for a while, and her eyelids started to droop.
I felt drowsy after leaning on it for a while.
I don’t know what time it is underground. If there is no fire, it will be pitch black.
Looking at the man's watch, it already showed morning.
But she hadn't slept all night and had gone through too much trouble afterwards. Now that she was finally relaxing, she felt exhausted all over.
The room Zhang Tian arranged for them was a double-story duplex built with waterproof and moisture-proof materials.
From the outside, it is arc-shaped, and the structure inside is no different from that of an ordinary house. The furniture is quite complete, but there is no electricity and most of the furniture is turned off.
The underground space is limited and the rooms are not as spacious as those on land. It is more than enough for two people, but it will be crowded if there are more people.
Pei Xiqing had just taken a shower, but the room was a little chilly. She soaked her feet before going to bed, climbed onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and couldn't help shivering.
She looked at the man expectantly.
Duan Xiaolin was still looking at the blueprints he had taken back from the people at the base, his expression indifferent and his eyes calm.
Pei Xiqing asked: "Are you tired?"
Without waiting for the man to answer, she said, "You must be tired. Let's take a rest."
Duan Xiaolin couldn't help but smile and shook the documents in his hand. "You go to sleep first. I have to talk to the person in charge later."
"Is your body made of iron?"
"Come back soon."
Pei Xiqing lay in bed, "Then you should make a quick decision and come back early. I'll wait for you."
Duan Xiaolin's eyes were narrowed: "Hey, you should take a rest first."
It's still a little cold under the quilt.
The arc-shaped house can become transparent, so that you cannot see what is inside from the outside, and you can only see the outside from the inside.
She turned off the transparency mode, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep.
Too many things had happened, her body was exhausted, and her mind was filled with so much chaos that it piled up and kept irritating her nerves.
There was one thing she never seemed to understand clearly... She really didn't have the energy to think about it anymore. It was a mess. She wanted to sort out the forgotten feelings in her mind, but it became more and more confusing. She was really exhausted and her brain gradually stopped working.
Within ten seconds, she fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the door, Duan Xiaolin took the documents and went to the person in charge's office.
The office is like a snail, living underground, but it's quite safe.
As soon as he came over, the person in charge who was drinking tea at the door immediately patted his trousers and stood up, shouting respectfully, "You are here!"
Duan Xiaolin sat down, chatted with him for a few words, and took a sip of tea.
Seeing a few traces of blood on the rim of the cup, he calmly wiped it off with his thumb.
