Chapter 32 : C32
“It’s true to say that. The affairs to be studied and managed by the headquarters are indeed very complicated. However, the supplies and food here are the most abundant of all A-level safety zones. If the surplus supplies are not sent out, it would be too wasteful.”
‘I see……’
Chi Ying stared at the car thoughtfully, ‘I feel that the truck should be good to use…’
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that she hadn’t recovered for a long time, Gu Chi asked.
“Oh…” Chi Ying shook her head, “It’s nothing. Where are we going later? To the highest place?”
She looked through the glass in front of the car, and the huge hemispherical building in the distance was clearly in front of her eyes, but she didn’t feel that she was approaching it even after driving for a long time.
“Yes,” Lu Yunfei replied.
After entering the headquarters, he was visibly relaxed, holding the steering wheel with one hand, not at all as cautious as usual.
He leaned on the back of the car seat, and said in a comfortable tone, “The ball-like place you saw in the base is where we usually stay when we come back.”
“Doesn’t it seem quite close? In fact, there is still a long way to go. The base is much larger than you imagine. All around the base are high-end greenhouses planted with various rare plants.”
He remembered something and said excitedly, “Hey, you haven’t seen the place where the captain lives, have you?”
Chi Ying shook her head.
She turned her head to look at Gu Chi, not understanding why Lu Yunfei mentioned that.
Lu Yunfei exaggerated, “There is a greenhouse next to the captain’s house that grows all kinds of rare and exotic plants. I saw it once before I was kicked out by him. It could only be described as spectacular.”
The corners of Gu Chi’s lips curled down a little, as if he didn’t agree. He explained to Chi Ying, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. The place is allocated by the headquarters. I was just awarded it as a senior commander at that time, so it is considered a privilege at first.”
“At first? Isn’t it now?”
“Well, because of Professor Yu’s research project, and the most advanced equipment in the greenhouse, which just met his needs, I lent him that place to grow some herbs.”
“Oh~”
“However, there are actually some things that I grew myself… I have grown a little bit of all kinds of fruits and vegetables that are hard to see in the apocalypse.”
Chi Ying raised her eyes and said, “Oh.”
Was he showing off?
It took a long time to hear Gu Chi speak again, just when Chi Ying thought the topic was over, he looked out of the car window as if nothing had happened, and suddenly said, “I remember, there just happened to be a lemon tree growing in it.”
“… Oh!” Chi Ying stared at him in a daze.
What did he mean? Did he want her to taste it?
“Huh? Captain, what kind of lemon…” Lu Yunfei turned into a curious baby.
“……Nothing.”
“Ha! Captain, why are you hiding it from me?! I also want lemons, to make some lemonade. After the doomsday, I got a serious deficiency of vitamins!”
Gu Chi rolled his eyes and said coldly, “You heard wrong, there are no lemons.”
“Tsk, Captain, you are so narrow-minded… Why didn’t I find out that you are so stingy before?”
Hearing what they were saying, Chi Ying suddenly got a little awkward.
She cautiously glanced at Gu Chi who was sullen, and the strange emotion became stronger.
In fact, when she was asked to say her “last wish” before, she said she wanted to drink lemon tea.
But when Gu Chi lied, it seemed as if he deliberately didn’t want others to know about it… She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Realizing that Chi Ying was staring at him, Gu Chi turned his gaze and looked out the window again. The sight behind him was still hard to ignore.
He realized what he had just said, pursed his lips, and felt a little blocked in his heart, which was so weird and unpleasant.
Sure enough, he was led astray by the girl, or why did he make a mistake? It was just a few lemons, why was he lying?
…
On getting out of the car, there were already more than a dozen people standing at the entrance outside the base, including several wearing lab coats.
The leading man stepped forward first and greeted Gu Chi, “Commander Gu, welcome back.”
Gu Chi nodded.
The man obviously didn’t just come to greet him. After exchanging pleasantries, he cut straight to the point, “The zombie leader you told the headquarters about… Have you brought him?”
“Well, the body is stored in Mu Yu’s space. I put some ice cubes inside to prevent its body from rotting.”
He said to Mu Yu, “Mu Yu, take out Zhang Bin’s body, and they will take care of it.”
The man nodded to the two people wearing lab coats beside him, and they immediately walked toward Mu Yu with their racks up.
