under the tower

Yan Yi breathed quietly, and after a long time, he replied: "Sorry, I can't at the moment, I have some other things to deal with."

"...Okay." Ji Xi took a long few seconds to accept the answer. He was extremely disappointed, and his heart was not as calm as he seemed on the surface, "Then I will miss you."

"Yeah." Yan Yi said, "Me too."

It doesn't matter, Ji Xi comforted himself like this - when the Shencheng base is recovered and everything is settled, he should not be too busy, and he will also fly a helicopter, from Shencheng to Beicheng, whether it is close or far , the plane will arrive in a few hours, it's nothing.

I can come and see him anytime.

The days passed smoothly.

Ji Xi couldn't get in touch with Wu Qianshu after he left the base after he left the base. After all, there was no signal tower outside.

Soon, they ushered in the second recruit assessment at the end of the month.With the experience of last time, Ji Xi seemed much more comfortable this time. Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda worked carefully, and the assessment ended smoothly.

In the end, after two rounds of screening, a total of 41 recruits remained among the [-] recruits, and Yan Yi was undoubtedly ranked first with a perfect score in the second assessment.

After the recruit training stage, all recruits who pass the assessment will be awarded the rank of non-commissioned officer, and then they will form a formally organized company and enter the system database, numbered β7x, and the central army will use the company as a unit to assign tasks to them.

On the same day that the assessment was completed and reported to the system, the company received a task.

The task itself is not technically difficult, and the rating is only C-. The content is simple and rough, that is, city defense patrols, reporting safety hazards in a timely manner, and at the same time solving some trivial disputes for the base residents on a part-time basis.

On this day, Ji Xi personally led a team of ten people, and they took to the streets in mighty fashion.

All were uniformly dressed in a pure black military uniform, with a pistol and a silver badge for identification on their chest.

The patrol route starts from the Jumen District, passes through three major districts in turn: Yinquan District, Changshi District and Chengqiao District, and finally turns back at Dongchengmen.

Most of the permanent residents in these three districts are ordinary residents, and the first reaction to seeing the army was to retreat three feet, which made Ji Xi's team go all the way unimpeded.

The most tiring part of this task may be that you can't take a car, and you have to walk on two legs for such a long distance.

Yan Yi was arranged by Ji Xi as one of the ten people, and he followed silently. This man stood out from the crowd wherever he went, and with that extremely handsome face, if it wasn't for his cold complexion, he wouldn't look so good. It was so close, those nympho girls hiding on the side of the road might throw flowers at him directly.

Ji Xi glanced at those dark-hued residents hiding in the corner watching the excitement, and frowned slightly.

They set off on time at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was past eleven o'clock when they arrived at the East City Gate. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, Ji Xi was sweating a little, and his uniform stuck to his body, making him uncomfortable.

Usually, they would go to the checkpoint at the east gate to check in, and the work in the morning would be considered complete.

When Ji Xi led the troops there, two officers were still standing in front of the city gate, one on the left and the other on the right, one of them had snake eyebrows, and was staring at him with a surprised and vicious look , Ji Xi recalled it, and felt that this person seemed a little familiar.

Then he suddenly realized that this person was the one who scolded Yan Yi as a poor man when he and Yan Yi returned to the city earlier because he thought Yan Yi gave too little "tip".

"Stop." The man stopped Ji Xi with a sinister voice. He remembered this face clearly. Last time, this kid made him suffer a lot, and he lost such a big face. He hated it so much, " Who are you guys? Don’t you know that you’re going to be shot if you wander around the city gate?”

Ji Xi didn't bother to pay attention to his making things difficult, and directly took out his military officer certificate: "Lu Xi, the general headquarters, is on a city defense mission."

"Yo." The man snorted coldly, his eyebrows raised, "why did I think, such a big battle, it turned out to be a mere vice-company."

Ji Xi's face turned cold, and for just a moment, a chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to calm.

Stupid and unaware, this kind of person really doesn't need to talk too much.

Ji Xi didn't pay much attention to him, and walked to the computer of the monitoring point system on his own, and entered the city defense mission and the number of their company.

"Let's go." The system showed that the task in the morning was clocked in, and Ji Xi said to the subordinates behind him calmly, "Sir, I invite you to dinner."

The man spat behind Ji Xi's back, but he also knew that the other party's rank was higher than his own, so he had no choice but to become more and more annoyed.

Ji Xi glanced at him one last time, and walked away expressionlessly.

Passing the bulletin board of the city gate, he saw that there were reward announcements displayed on it. Some of the announcements marked with A-B+ levels even offered rewards as high as [-] points. Such a large amount of money can definitely make a fortune overnight for ordinary people. Degree.

Just as they passed by, Ji Xi saw a person walking in front of him, and then accepted an A-level arrest warrant with a reward of 45000 points, and then quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Ji Xi noticed that although this person's face did not look outstanding, his muscles were knotted under his clothes, and a lump bulged out of his pocket, which should be some kind of weapon. ——This man is quite a professional killer.

Looking at the back of that person, Ji Xi felt a little doubt in his heart.

He made a stop gesture to his subordinates, turned around and turned into the information area next to him, and then put down his military ID card at the scanning place of the machine.

Generally speaking, after logging in with a military officer card, his information access authority will be much greater.

The progress of the screen rotated for a while in the "loading" screen, and it bounced to a page with several buttons on it, which said "accept reward", "publish reward", and "information check".

Ji Xi looked up the information and called up the past reward information. The latest item showed:

No. 3127

Reward Level A

Status: Bounty accepted.

There is no more information beyond that.

Ji Xi then closed the page and left the information area.

They returned to the nearest Chengqiao District for a meal.The most prosperous area in the center of Chengqiao District is crowded with people, and there are various buildings and facilities. A movie theater was opened some time ago. The entrance is crowded and the business is very hot.

No matter which era, after meeting the basic material needs, people will always be willing to spend more energy on satisfying their own spiritual entertainment.

Ji Xi led the people into a relatively spacious restaurant. The waiter saw that they were dressed as military officers, and immediately greeted them warmly. Ji Xi raised his hand and asked for a private room.

At the round table of ten people, Ji Xi asked his subordinates to advance, and those non-commissioned officers who were big and small, didn't push back, and took their seats one after another. Ji Xi sat with Yan Yi logically.

Ji Xi took the menu and handed it to Yan Yi seemingly unintentionally: "You guys order, pick whatever you want?"

When Ji Xi was an officer, everyone loved him. Everyone wanted to get close to him, and there was no other reason—Ji Xi, as a boss, was trouble-free and generous, and these two things were enough to be the biggest advantages.

Everyone was huddled together picking dishes, and the discussion was in full swing. Ji Xi moved his butt slightly, his thigh touched Yan Yi's under the table, his legs were close to each other, and Ji Xi's shoulder was also pressed against him. Tilting his head, he leaned gently on Yan Yi, pretending to discuss with everyone, but in fact he just wanted to get closer to Yan Yi.

Yan Yi asked in a low voice: "Tired?"

"Fortunately, it's just a little hot." Ji Xi said softly, because he was worried that his subordinates who were close at hand would find out at any time, Ji Xi's heart beat a lot faster.

There was something wonderfully exciting and intimate about whispering in public, as if the two of them were secretly doing something bad together.

"You used to..." Ji Xi said in a very low voice, "...have you accepted those rewards?"

"no, what happened?"

"Oh, it's okay..." Ji Xi said, "I was just thinking, what happened to cause the army to hate so much, and they have to spend so much money to hunt down and kill a person?"

Yan Yi was silent for a long time, and only said: "The Chang family has always ruled the base with iron and blood methods, and it is not uncommon to kill traitors in the street."

After the lunch break, they continued to patrol all the way from Chengqiao District, and finally returned to Wanshen District.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when we reached the junction of Chengqiao District and Changshi District, a scream suddenly came through the air.

This place is a large-scale commercial area, with many shops and buildings, and the flow of people is very large. If a riot occurs, it is very dangerous.

Ji Xi immediately rushed to find the sound, and several subordinates quickly opened the way: "Everyone, give way! Don't squeeze!"

Ji Xi peeled away the crowd, and saw a middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road. He was wearing a simple sky blue polo shirt, the main artery in his throat was cut, and blood spurted out. The splash was everywhere, almost staining his shirt. He fell face up on the ground with a terrified expression on his face. A middle-aged woman of about the same age threw herself on him madly. The sound just now She was the one who screamed. Beside the woman stood two children about five or six years old, a boy and a girl. They were well dressed and looked like the children of this couple. The two children were completely stunned.

Ji Xi stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

The woman was still howling: "Qihao...husband...you wake up."

Ji Xi knew it was hopeless just by looking at the man's wound. The person who did it was very neat and professional. His neck artery was completely cut open. With such a large amount of blood transfusion, even if he rushed to the treatment center right now, it would be too late.

The woman was devastated, her eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, and her miserable screams echoed throughout the road.

Ji Xi felt a bit of stomach discomfort instinctively from the heartbroken sadness of that woman, but the bustling crowd around him seemed to be familiar with it. They stood around with indifferent expressions, pointing and discussing.

Ji Xi frowned tightly, and was about to ask again, when Yan Yi pulled him into his arms, and the two of them rolled on the ground, Yan Yi's voice sounded in Ji Xi's ear with an unusually solemn voice: "Be careful!" !"
