under the tower

The control panel in Beicheng is slightly different from that in Shencheng, but Ji Xi quickly got used to it after operating it for a while. He can communicate with other officers through the intranet of Wanshen District, provided that he can obtain the communication code of the other party. .

Before the apocalypse, human beings have long been extremely dependent on wireless networks. After the base was built, due to the incomplete infrastructure, high costs and complicated procedures, most residents hardly used the network anymore. The sick tree where Ji Xi and Yan Yi lived area is even more impossible.

It was almost noon now, Ji Xi was not in a hurry to buy something first, he changed into his military uniform and left the room, intending to have lunch first.

Building No. 33 has a good location. There is a large military canteen about 500 meters away from it in a straight line, where officers can buy high-quality nutritious food at a cheap and cost-effective price.

Yes, after half a year, Ji Xi was finally able to eat "normal" nutritious food produced by the science and technology laboratory of the base again.

It's meal time now, Ji Xi walked to the elevator entrance, there were two people waiting for the elevator in front, Ji Xi stood silently behind, and didn't have any intention of rushing to get in touch with them.

Two people, a man and a woman, were chatting, and they kept looking at a closed door next to the elevator door.

Ji Xi noticed the numbers 8018 written on the door of that room.

The man said: "Hey, what's the background of that guy? He hasn't shown his face a few times, he's very mysterious. I heard that Commander Bai came here on purpose a few days ago, just to catch him..."

The woman said: "I don't know, but I saw him once, he is so handsome..."

Man: "Hey, how can you still start a nympho. Is he handsome or am I handsome?"

Woman: "Don't put gold on your face, I've never seen such a handsome man, and he has a very good figure..."

Man: "Do you want to sleep with him?"

Woman: "No woman doesn't want to sleep with him! If I can sleep..."

With a sound of "ding", the elevator came, the two of them walked into the elevator after saying this, Ji Xi followed behind.

Ji Xi heard that at the moment when the two turned their heads to meet him, there was the sound of them gasping in the air.

Ji Xi knew what was going on, he had no expression on his face, and he had the air of don't get close to strangers and don't strike up a conversation with me, the woman opened her mouth hesitantly.

"……Hi!"

Ji Xi looked up at them indifferently, nodded slightly, and proudly lifted her beautifully curved chin.

The elevator reached the bottom of the building and opened. Ji Xi walked out, leaving only a tall and beautiful back.

Behind, the woman's exclamation voice floated in the empty corridor.

"Oh my god, did you see that man's face just now? He is so young, but he looks like..."

Using the smart assistant to open the navigation, Ji Xi went to the cafeteria alone.

Near the cafeteria, a two-story circular white building appeared in front of the eyes. A circular corridor surrounded the outer wall. The outer wall was made of natural white stones—even the cafeteria had a sense of design.

There were crowds of people everywhere, officers in twos and threes passed by Ji Xi, Ji Xi walked into the gate, the bright lights of the hall illuminated the entire canteen hall, and rows of operation panels were embedded in the dining table, Ji Xi casually found a Sit down where no one is, and the order light at hand will automatically light up.

The panel interface also has language options. Ji Xi chose Chinese, and then swipe the electronic menu, a variety of gorgeous cuisines appeared in front of him, including baked lobster with cheese, roasted deer tendon, stewed shark's fin, baked sea cucumber with abalone sauce and so on.

Each dish is labeled with specific nutritional ingredients, and the percentage of the human body's daily recommended intake, in grams and milligrams, accurate to one decimal place.

After choosing a meal, the system will automatically pop up suggestions. If the system thinks that the meal is not nutritious enough, it will automatically add a bottle of supplementary liquid nutrition to the shopping cart. If you think it is unnecessary, you can manually select the Nutrients are then removed from the cart.

Of course, although the appearance and taste are different, all the raw materials of these dishes are actually synthetic polymer preparations produced by the same laboratory.

Ji Xi didn't touch those extravagant looking foods.

Perhaps because he stayed in Yan's family for too long, even his sense of taste got used to the simple way of life. He chose a few relatively light dishes - steamed egg with fish plate, stir-fried mustard greens and a bowl of white rice, Nutrients are not required, settle.

A total of 78 points.

The prices in the Eighth Central District are well-deserved. This lunch alone is worth more than what Zeng Jixi and Yan could eat for two days.

Within a few minutes, an automatic food delivery machine resembling a small dining car drove over and stopped in front of Ji Xi. The robotic arm steadily placed three plates of food in front of Ji Xi.

"Enjoy your meal," it said in a cheerful synthesized sound.

Before finishing the meal, Ji Xi's smart assistant received a new message from his department, from company commander Huang Huaiyuan. Sit hot, work has come.

As the deputy company commander, Ji Xi is in charge of more than 100 people. After this round of army expansion, he has recruited a large number of new recruits, and he will immediately be responsible for supervising the training of recruits under his command.

After Ji Xi left the cafeteria, he went straight to the Jumen area. The Jumen area covers a large area, and there are multiple electronic unmanned shuttle bus stations that automatically pick up and drop off officers. Ji Xi swiped the smart assistant to get on the shuttle bus. After deducting 2 points, he is going to the training ground in the south corner of the giant gate area.

The iron-gray road scene is constantly regressing during fast driving. This kind of shuttle bus has a special driving track on the road surface, and the speed is as high as 70km/h.

Soon they arrived at the south corner, and the field of vision was empty at this time. Ji Xi got out of the car, and there was a vast expanse of training ground under his feet.

In the distance, groups of soldiers standing in military posture were as insignificant as little black dots. They were training, and from time to time they shouted out neat orders, and their voices were so loud that they shook the entire field.

According to the instructions received earlier, Ji Xi met with his nominal boss, Huang Huaiyuan, in an office next to the training ground.

Huang Huaiyuan is close to forty years old, his fleshy face is covered with fine lines, his skin is very dark, he wears a military uniform of the largest size, and when he speaks, he reveals a mouthful of rotten teeth that have turned yellow due to excessive smoking.

"Yo." Huang Huaiyuan was still lying in the chair after seeing Ji Xi, and a chair with steel legs was parked beside the desk.He opened his eyes slightly, looked around Ji Xi's body with his scrutinizing gaze, and finally fell on Ji Xi's face faintly.He was silent for a moment, and said in a neutral tone, "Are you the new Lu Xi?"

"Yes." Ji Xi said neither humble nor overbearing, "Hello, company commander."

Huang Huaiyuan waved his hand, and said casually, "You don't need to call me company commander, just call me Lao Huang." He stared at Ji Xi with a little cloudy eyes, "The boy's surname is Lu Ha?"

Asking knowingly, Ji Xi watched him silently, like a log, didn't move or speak, purely lazy.

Wide-eyed and small-eyed, the atmosphere in the office was awkward for a moment because of Ji Xi's silence, and then Huang Huaiyuan hummed and smiled, with a hint of contempt in his tone: "Not bad, not bad, kid from the Lu family, do your best."

Ji Xi moved his proud neck, and nodded casually to show that he heard it.

He played his role quite faithfully and faithfully - a relationship doorman who got in through the big tree of Lu's house.

Probably seeing that Ji Xi really had no intention of chatting or getting close, Huang Huaiyuan felt lifeless after saying a few words, he yawned, with a half-smoked cigar in his mouth, he waved his hand: "OK Now, you go to the training ground with Xiao Chen, you came late, the 110 people in our company arrived at the beginning of the month, there are 3 recruits, and they are all training in H[-], you manage them well, don't miss out on missions in the future The chain is enough, the rest is fine."

Ji Xi was slightly surprised: "Sixty?"

Why are there so many?As far as he knows, although the army has expanded its recruitment in name, it has only recruited a hundred people in total, and there are sixty of them here alone, which means that at least half of the new recruits are in their company.

"Hmm." Huang Huaiyuan blew out a smoke ring, Ji Xi frowned in distaste, Huang Huaiyuan looked at Ji Xi with informative eyes, and said, "Isn't it that Mr. Chang has taken a fancy to you?" The Lu family knew that Xiao Lu was coming, so they specially entrusted this 'heavy task' to our company."

More than half of a company is full of new recruits who don't know anything. This is not a heavy responsibility, and it is clear that they are wearing shoes for him overtly and covertly.Ji Xi grew up among human beings, and immediately understood the truth when he heard it.

The relationship between the Chang family and the Lu family was even worse than he had imagined, and it had reached the point where they were almost incompatible.

Ji Xi was clear in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said instead: "So that's how it is."

There is a high probability that Huang Huaiyuan is from the Chang family, Ji Xi thought, he already knew Huang Huaiyuan's background in advance, it is said that he is a grassroots, retired veteran, and was responsible for exterminating a large number of abnormal people many times during his service , Accidentally fell off a cliff during a mission and unfortunately broke a leg.

Because of his reputation and outstanding military achievements, he was later named a captain and became a nominal company commander in the general headquarters, not taking much care of things.

Lu Mingxiu chose this position for Ji Xi on purpose. It is not too big or small, so it is not easy to be caught by the eye. Moreover, because Huang Huaiyuan's leg is broken, he can't take care of it. Many field tasks are also led by Ji Xi himself, so in fact the whole All the real power of Lian is in Ji Xi's hands, which makes it convenient for him to do many things.

Huang Huaiyuan also seemed to be very clear about his position, he briefly explained the situation to Ji Xi, and then asked Ji Xi to take charge of the recruit training, obviously intending to be a hand-off shopkeeper to the end.

The recruits had already reported all the reports at the beginning of the month, and now the drills are in full swing. Ji Xi, as the deputy company, naturally does not need to participate in these trainings. In order to reflect the preferential treatment given to the Lu family by the central government, he was specially approved to officially enter the job half a month later than the recruits. , so Ji Xi came the latest among all the people.

The platoon leader is a young man named Chen Guangda, 25 or [-] years old, with dark skin, white teeth, and a strong figure. The little Chen Huang Huaiyuan said is him, and Ji Xi is his direct leader. When he talked to Lao Huang just now, he Just waiting at the door of the office, the military posture is standard.

"Hello, welcome, Deputy Lu." Chen Guangda greeted respectfully, showing a polite smile, with a friendly but not flattering attitude, "Come with me, let's go to our company's training ground first, Today is mainly to arrange for you to meet with them, to see if they are familiar, there is nothing else, you can ask me anytime if you have any questions."

Ji Xi nodded, straightened his tie, and followed behind him.

Huang Huaiyuan smoked a cigarette, squinting his eyes to look at Ji Xi's leaving back.

His back was naturally straight, his shoulders stretched straight, and his walking posture was more standard and elegant than that of Chen Guangda, a non-commissioned officer who had practiced military posture for more than ten years.

H3 training area.

It is the time when the sun is at its most poisonous in the afternoon, but fortunately, the spring is not too hot.

Probably Chen Guangda informed in advance that the deputy company commander would come to inspect today. When Ji Xi arrived, there were a group of people standing squarely on the flat and wide concrete floor of the training ground. There, they lined up neatly, each at the same distance from the others, and it looked quite pleasing to the eye.

There is a high platform directly in front of the training area, which is convenient for leaders to speak.

Chen Guangda invited Ji Xi to the high platform. Ji Xi wore a royal blue tie, a dark gray military uniform, and a silver breastplate symbolizing the deputy company commander on his chest. His fair skin seemed transparent under the sun. He looked coldly. Standing on the stage, looking down at the dark people below, like expensive porcelain.

His eyes swept over everyone in the team carelessly, and he was not in a hurry to speak. The recruits stood motionless and straight, like the most loyal robots, waiting for the commander's order before they would act.

At this moment, Ji Xi's pupils shrank uncontrollably when they caught sight of one of them.

The figure of that person stood out from the crowd like a chicken, with a shaved hairstyle, a high nose and eyebrows...

Ji Xi couldn't believe her eyes, that person... was actually Yan Yi!
