Chapter 266 Going Out 4
Jiang Li looked around; there were too many people around, so it wasn't a good idea to ask Battalion Commander Zhou this question.
She decided to ask when no one was around to avoid attracting attention.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Battalion Commander Zhou then led everyone to the weapons and equipment depot.
The soldiers guarding the gate took the credentials brought by Battalion Commander Zhou before stepping forward to open the warehouse door.
The three walls were covered with standard-issue weapons.
Looking at the wall full of weapons, Jiang Li's eyes were filled with excitement, and she wished she could put all the weapons hanging on the wall into her spatial storage.
Everyone stared intently at the weapons on the wall. With these, who would ever suffer from a lack of firepower?
They should walk down the road with their heads held high, chests out, and heads held high.
Just kidding, just kidding.
When you're out in the open, you should play it safe and be the last one standing; survival is the most important thing.
Having a weapon gives you more confidence. If you encounter a ferocious beast, at least you can shoot to protect yourself, instead of throwing a dagger at a rock.
"Each person is assigned a pistol, a dagger, and five grenades. Wang Hao and Ye Jingmo, as the captain and vice-captain, can take an additional submachine gun."
Upon hearing Battalion Commander Zhou's assignment, Yang Yile stood up and said somewhat displeased:
"We all face the same risks when we go out, so why should they, as the captain, get an extra submachine gun?"
Yang Yile's face was grim, his single-eyelid eyes slanted up, and he glared fiercely at Battalion Commander Zhou.
He's already been given the medication. Since the base wants him to leave, they have to pay a price.
Seeing Yang Yile's behavior, Wang Hao's eyes darkened slightly. He secretly became more vigilant and decided to be wary of this kid in future actions.
Yang Yile is not someone who follows orders; he has his own ulterior motives.
If it's just a little bit of greed, that's one thing; people always think about themselves. But if that greed leads to harming others, that's a different story.
"The number of submachine guns is limited, and bullets are scarce these days. We can't give them all away without reservation. The base also needs weapons for defense."
The submachine gun has strong recoil, so it would be more suitable for Wang Hao and Ye Jingmo. If you also want to use it, just ask the captain, and they will consider the actual situation to see if you are eligible.
Wang Tang sat between Yang Yile and Battalion Commander Zhou, acting as a peacemaker with a smile.
“Battalion Commander Zhou, we understand the difficulties the base is facing. Brother Yang is just hoping to have more weapons so he can be safer while out there and bring back the vanilla flowers more smoothly.”
"We are on the same side, and we should understand each other. There's no need to argue over trivial matters. Let's all calm down."
Jiang Li's lips curled into a mocking smile. She hadn't expected Yang Yile to expose his true nature so quickly. However, she hadn't realized that Wang Tang was so shrewd and articulate.
It seems that those who make it into the team are all extraordinary.
"I'm sorry, Battalion Commander Zhou, I got too excited."
Yang Yile realized that turning against Battalion Commander Zhou here was not a good choice, so he took the opportunity provided by Wang Tang and bowed to apologize to Battalion Commander Zhou.
The main focus is on being able to bend and stretch.
“It’s alright. Just like Wang Tang said, you’re worried about encountering danger outside, which is only natural and I understand.”
Battalion Commander Zhou waved his hand, a slight smile curving his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The soldiers standing to the side handed each person a pistol, fifty bullets, and five grenades.
Liang Zi stroked the silver-white pistol in his hand with delight. He hadn't touched a gun since he was discharged from the army, and he never expected to touch one here again.
Everything is arranged by fate.
Everyone touched the pistols in their hands with delight, as if they were precious treasures, afraid they would melt if they held them in their mouths or break if they held them in their hands.
"You should learn shooting skills from Wang Hao and the others, since they come from the military and have more opportunities to use guns than you do."
Battalion Commander Zhou gave instructions in the direction of Wang Tang.
Then, the soldiers handed Wang Hao and Ye Jingmo a submachine gun and a hundred rounds of ammunition each.
"Wang Hao, Ye Jingmo, these two submachine guns are your weapons. I hope you can make good use of them to protect the team members, bring back the vanilla flowers, and successfully complete the mission."
Battalion Commander Zhou patted Wang Hao and Ye Jingmo on the shoulder, his words full of encouragement.
Just when everyone thought they could go back, Battalion Commander Zhou took out a satellite phone from behind his back.
"This satellite phone is entrusted to you, Wang Hao, for safekeeping. In case of any unexpected situation, you can call the base."
"Ok."
Wang Hao solemnly accepted the phone and stuffed it into the inside pocket of his clothes.
Once their watches leave the base's range, they lose signal and cannot make long-distance calls. With this satellite phone, they can communicate smoothly with the base.
"We will prepare the necessary supplies for your trip in the vehicle. You will see them when you depart."
We'll meet here at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Please get some rest today and say goodbye to your families.
After Battalion Commander Zhou finished speaking, he escorted everyone back to the second basement level.
Jiang Li deliberately dawdled, and after leaving the room behind everyone else and seeing that they had all disappeared from sight, she returned to the room the way she came.
Liangzi watched Jiang Li's movements and looked at Ye Jingmo, unsure whether he should follow her.
"Ali probably has something to ask Battalion Commander Zhou."
Ye Jingmo followed Jiang Li into the room. Liang Zi hesitated for a moment and did not follow. He went to an inconspicuous corner of the corridor and squatted there to keep watch for Jiang Li and the other person.
Just as Battalion Commander Zhou was about to return to the third basement level, he saw Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo push the door open and enter. He paused in his actions, a hint of confusion on his face.
"Why are you back again? Is something the matter?"
"I wanted to ask, you were planning to send Pudding out, but I see that the team has already recruited ten people, and the potions should have run out, so we wanted Pudding to stay at home."
Pudding, who hasn't been injected with the drug, isn't suitable for going out on missions.
Jiang Li told Battalion Commander Zhou that she would never have let Pudding leave the base without injecting the drug into her.
The thick fog outside is no joke. If anything happens to Pudding, no amount of crying and wailing will help.
Battalion Commander Zhou then remembered that he hadn't told Jiang Li about this yet, and immediately smiled and said:
"The medication is injected according to body weight. Although it is only ten doses, there will still be some left after the injections are given according to body weight."
It's definitely not enough for people, but it's definitely enough for pudding."
"We plan to send a veterinarian over to give Pudding an injection later, since the doctors at the base are there to treat people, not veterinarians."
Jiang Li nodded knowingly. "Alright, you can talk to them again when you come over later. Mo Ge and I will head back now."
When Liangzi saw Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo come out, he quickly followed them, and the three of them separated at the door of their respective rooms.
Lin Panpan was cutting the cured meat that had been dried earlier in the kitchen. She hadn't wanted to eat it before, but thinking that Liangzi was going to leave the base and might not be able to eat a good meal on the way, she gritted her teeth and cut the cured meat.
Hearing the creak of the door opening, Lin Panpan peeked out from the kitchen and smiled when she saw Liangzi return.
Xiao An, who was engrossed in arranging the puzzle, also stood up, ran to Liangzi's feet with small steps, and reached out her little hands to Liangzi, saying, "Daddy, hug me."
Liangzi's strong arms lifted Xiao'an up in one go, letting her ride on his shoulders as they walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiao An, look what Mommy is making!"
Liangzi smiled and said to Xiao An, looking at Lin Panpan with loving eyes.
"We're having stir-fried cured pork today."
Looking at Liangzi and Xiao'an, the two most important people in her world, Lin Panpan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Wow, Mom made something delicious today."
Xiao An happily swung her arms, extremely excited upon hearing the good news.
Liangzi put Xiao'an down, patted her head, and coaxed her softly, "Xiao'an, go play with your puzzle. Daddy will help Mommy cook."
Xiao An opened her bright, sparkling eyes, her little face flushed, and nodded. She grabbed Liang Zi's pants and said in a muffled voice, "After Daddy and Mommy finish cooking dinner, can you play puzzles with Xiao An?"
"Of course, after dinner, Dad will play puzzles with Xiao An."
Upon hearing this, Liangzi squatted down to be at eye level with Xiao An, pinched her cheek, and then agreed to her request.
After Liangzi entered the kitchen and closed the door, he saw Lin Panpan cut a piece of cured pork and felt a little sorry for her. "Why are you cutting so much cured pork? I won't be home later. You can cut a little bit every day and cook it for you and Xiao An."
Lin Panpan glanced at Liang Zi and said irritably, "Now you think of us, mother and son? Don't you realize you're out there risking your life, through gunfire and explosions, while Xiao An and I can just sit at home eating and drinking comfortably? How is that possible?"
Upon hearing this, Liangzi immediately realized something was wrong. He placed his hands on Lin Panpan's shoulders in a fawning manner and massaged her with just the right amount of pressure, humbly saying:
“I know you have grievances in your heart, but you can’t take it out on your and Xiao An’s health. You and Xiao An need to take good care of yourselves at home.”
The base promised us that as long as we can complete the mission and return, we can receive the injection in advance, so we won't be afraid of the various germs in the dense fog.
Then, once the army has cleared away all the birds, we can return to the villa and resume our peaceful life.
Lin Panpan turned her head and glared at Liang Zi, "What do you mean as long as the mission can be completed smoothly? You're setting a flag, you know? Quickly, spit it out, pretend you didn't say that."
Under Lin Panpan's oppressive gaze, Liangzi could only obediently spit out "Pui pui pui".
"I am angry, but it's not directed at you, and I won't blame myself or Xiao An."
I hope you stay safe while you're out. Xiao An and I will be waiting for you at home.
Lin Panpan's voice grew softer and softer, losing its previous high pitch.
Liangzi pulled Lin Panpan into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Okay, okay, I'll be careful."
Don't be too frugal at home. After we leave, the base will deliver the supplies we promised to our homes. Don't go out unless necessary.
If you have any problems, just ask Qin Yue and Qin Yu. Qin Yu is quick-witted; he'll definitely have a solution.
Lin Panpan nodded slightly. She and Liangzi hugged each other tightly, and her silent tears soaked Liangzi's chest.
The two embraced in the kitchen when an untimely child's voice came from the doorway, "Daddy, Mommy, Xiao An is hungry, can we eat now?"
When Lin Panpan saw Xiao An at the door, she hurriedly stepped out of Liangzi's arms and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. "It'll be ready soon, just a few more minutes and we can eat. Xiao An, go wash your hands in the bathroom first."
"it is good".
A clear, childlike voice rang out, and Xiao An, like a bird returning to its nest, happily ran to the bathroom tap to wash her hands.
"I'll cook, you can go and rest."
Liangzi pushed Lin Panpan outside the door, picked up a pot and started cooking.
They still have food, but Liangzi and Lin Panpan are trying to save as much as possible for the future.
Lin Panpan had already prepared the noodles before Liangzi returned. Liangzi simply stir-fried the cured meat and added some dehydrated vegetables to make the topping for the noodles.
Xiao An slurped her noodles, getting noodle juice all over her face, which amused Lin Panpan, who then wiped it off with a tissue.
Liangzi put meat into Lin Panpan's bowl. Looking at the smiles of the two, one big and one small, he felt a surge of happiness in his chest, as if it were overflowing.
I wish I could live like this forever.
Next room.
As soon as Jiang Li entered the door, Pudding wagged its little tail and came to greet her, rubbing its nose against Jiang Li.
The cool touch of her nose on Jiang Li's exposed skin gave her goosebumps.
Jiang Li gently grabbed Pudding's ears and rubbed its face with her palm.
"We've only been gone a short while, why are you acting like we haven't seen each other for days, Pudding?"
Jiang Li said with a smile.
Wang Wang ~
A few hours apart feels like days. I miss you all.
Pudding ran to Jiang Li's legs and rubbed against them, then ran to Ye Jingmo's legs and rubbed against them, happily spinning like a top.
Ye Jingmo bent down and patted Pudding's fluffy head, as a response to the tower.
Before Jiang Li and Pudding could play for a while, there was a knock at the door.
Ye Jingmo opened the door, and there was Battalion Commander Zhou and an unfamiliar man.
The man was dressed simply in gray casual clothes and wore a mask, making it impossible to see his face. However, even when he was standing casually, his posture was upright and straight.
When the man saw Pudding, his eyes shone like they were looking at an absolutely stunning beauty.
"Is this Pudding? It's so cool! Can I touch it? Here's some jerky for you."
The man took a piece of pet jerky out of his pocket and waved it in front of Pudding, seemingly trying to get Pudding's attention.
No? Who are you? Her, the owner of the pudding, is right next to him!
Jiang Li stared blankly at the man's actions.
