Chapter 45: Factions
Even though he issued a declaration of communication, Du Wuyan's attitude remained the same, and he continued to talk to Xia Xiyue with a cheeky face, raising his voice and trying to be coquettish.
Because Xia Xiyue didn't care, Yun Qi and the others were embarrassed to speak--it should be said that just one Xia Xiyue would make her die of shame at the dinner table, how could she have the strength to pay attention to Du Wuyan?
What's more, I don't know how many layers that face has, Du Wuyan pretended not to hear Yuwen He's muttering scolding, didn't see Lin Xinrui's white eyes, didn't pay attention to Yun Qi's irritability, just showed favor to Xia Xiyue, even if Xia Xiyue kept touching soft nails, he wouldn't give up. If the object of Du Wuyan's harassment was not Xia Xiyue, Yun Qi actually admired her, but now Yun Qi just wanted to throw her out.
The meal ended in this strange situation, and after putting down the chopsticks, Yun Qi suddenly felt that the food was not very good.
The dishes are delicious, but the atmosphere during the meal is so bad, how can you be in the mood to enjoy it?

After eating, Xia Xiyue could no longer find an excuse to stop Yuwenhe from taking people away, and besides, Commander Lin was not a person who could refuse.
Du Wuyan also mentioned that General Du wanted to see Xia Xiyue again, so Du Wufeng got a car to pick up people, and Lin Xinrui also asked the Du family to find a doctor and equipment to help Xia Xiyue do a brain examination.
By the way, Xia Xiyue not only caused a large bruise on her left hand to rip off the drip without authorization, but Lin Xinrui also lost her temper when she found out, and severely reprimanded Xia Xiyue, asking her to kneel until the night to reflect.
If it weren't for Du Wuyan suddenly coming over with someone from the military, Xia Xiyue would still be thinking about it.
Coming to the headquarters again, Yu Wenhe led Yun Qi to meet Commander Lin, and Du Wuyan took Xia Xiyue to find General Du.
Although Yun Qi didn't really want Xia Xiyue to go alone, and Xia Xiyue didn't want to be separated from Yun Qi, whether it was Commander Lin or General Du, they only asked to see one person, and it would be rude to follow without permission; Both sides are big guys who can't be offended, and there is no reason to ask for someone to accompany them, Yun Qi and Xia Xiyue had to settle down, and they entered the room with the leader to talk.
Yun Qi walked into the office, and after Yuwen and saluted, he exited the room and guarded the door, leaving only Yun Qi and Commander Lin inside.
Commander Lin sat at his desk and signed several documents in a row before raising his head to greet Yun Qi.
"You're here."
"Hello, Commander." Yun Qi nodded and sat down, and said straight to the point. "Excuse me, what are you looking for today? I gave all the advice I could yesterday. ”
"Something's true." Picking up a report, Commander Lin put on reading glasses and said. "One of the staff officers thought that your plan for a tall building was not feasible, but agreed with the idea of renovating the existing buildings, and he proposed another plan, which was to build buildings at several street junctions, connect them with each other, and use the whole row of houses as city walls. What do you think? ”
"The first impression is not bad." After thinking about it for a few minutes, Yun Qi slowly spoke. "This can enclose a large area of land to grow crops, and you don't have to worry about the lack of water and food, but whether the house is a house, a large number of zombies can push through the doors and windows to enter, and the defense is debatable; In addition, the buildings are unevenly high, and it is difficult to defend against the walls, so I think it is better to build a strong wall than this. ”
"Which is better, this project or your project?"
"I don't know, each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Yun Qi said very simply. "There are many aspects to consider in the execution of both projects, and I don't have enough information to analyze who is better or whether they can actually be executed."
"Hmm." Commander Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't see that he was dissatisfied with Yun Qi's answer. "You studied management at university?"
"Yes, the Department of Business Administration."
"Good grades?"
"Well, it's not bad, most of them are in the top three of the school grade, but my school is only in the middle and upper grades."
"Interested in doing something for the military?"
"Huh?" Yun Qi was a little surprised, could it be that this was the real reason why Commander Lin called him?
"This time the corpse epidemic has caused casualties in the military, and I have vacated a lot of positions under my men." Commander Lin rubbed his face after taking off his glasses and said solemnly. "In particular, some young officers with low rank, but who are focused on training, died in the retreat, although they can make up for these positions by relying on familiar old officers, but the old people are old people after all, and the innovation and vitality of young people are missing."
"So you want to pull a group of young forces?"
"You have this potential, I will arrange for you to enter the logistics department, so that you are also qualified to retreat with the army, but--" Commander Lin suddenly showed a hesitant expression, "Your friend doesn't seem to fit in that place." ”
"Do you mean Xiao Xi?" Yun Qi paused for a moment, immediately reacted, and also fell into deep thought. "She's not suitable for logistics, but you're not going to want her to be a girl and kill the enemy, are you?"
"Of course not, I once mentioned arranging her to be a coach, her techniques are much simpler than the Du family's martial arts, and her identity is more suitable for ordinary people." Commander Lin shook his head and said. "Although young girls will be questioned about their ability to be coaches, they have more tricks and envelopment effects, and besides, both the military and the Du family are in a dilemma of insufficient manpower, and it is one more person to help."
"So, just do what you want? I have no opinion, Xiao Xi will also convince her. Yun Qi did not refuse, this can be regarded as a transaction.
In yesterday's meeting, it had been decided to withdraw some of the forces, and since Yun Qi had mentioned this plan, Commander Lin had already understood what she wanted.
As long as Yun Qi and Xia Xiyue obey the arrangement, the two who are not military elites will still be included in the list.
Yun Qi didn't think that staying here would die, but she really couldn't stand being besieged by zombies again, it was not pleasant to be surrounded by zombie moans and the stench of corpses rotting, compared to her, she would rather go to the wilderness.
"But there's a couple of troubles to deal with." Commander Lin changed the subject. "Why did you let Yuwen protect you, you know?"
"Of course, of course I don't know."
"Aside from the infected, the military is not united at the moment." A trace of resentment flashed in Commander Lin's eyes, "Some pests only want to protect their own interests, and even take this opportunity to gain more rights, completely forgetting the responsibilities of the people's soldiers." For this kind of person, I am an obstacle, and my people will naturally be suppressed. ”
"Excuse me?" Yun Qi suddenly had a bad premonition. "You can't mean the Du family, right?"
"Rest assured, although Lao Du is short-sighted, reckless in his work, and always uses his brain, he is still a general for the country and the people. Even if the Du family acts in an extreme way, the main direction is still to fight for humanity. ”
"That's good"
Although Commander Lin scolded Yun Qi a little embarrassed, Xia Xiyue seemed to be a little interested in the Du family's martial arts, and now she was talking privately with that General Du.
If you don't get it right, you either have to oppose Xia Xiyue, or you offend the two great gods of Commander Lin and General Du at the same time, no matter what kind of Yun Qi will die of a headache.
"I should remember that when we had a meeting last night, there was an old guy who had been opposing your opinion, right?"
"You mean, Admiral Lee?"
"That's him." Commander Lin sighed, looking very old. "Previously, in order to reduce consumption, Lao Du kept some old and sick people who refused to assist the military defense in the city center, and only provided a small amount of food for them to fend for themselves. General Li took the opportunity to send his subordinates to forcibly loot food from people's homes, cut off rations and accelerate the famine, prevent the news from reaching me, and at the same time release rumors to incite the army to rein in his subordinates. ”
"The epidemic is so strict, and there is still infighting?"
"It is precisely because of Yan zhòng that he can rely on infighting to rise to the top, otherwise how can there be a chance in peacetime?"
"So, I ruined his plan to make him hold a grudge?" The corners of Yun Qi's mouth trembled slightly, "I'm a general, I should be very broad-minded, right?" ”
"Admiral Lee is notoriously retributive and lustful."
"So old and? He has seventy! ”
"Girl, technology has advanced to the point where you can make up for some things with drugs."
"Will he do anything to Xiao Xi?"
"You actually worried about her at this time?" Commander Lin looked very interested. "Student Xia at least has the power of vigilance and self-preservation, as the biggest goal, you should first think about whether your life can be saved."
"Didn't you send someone to protect me?"
"Probably not enough."
"Well, even if I mess up the plan, he probably won't pay too much attention to it? After all, I'm just a young woman," Yun Qi suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and after a few seconds of silence, her eyes suddenly widened, "You won't be using me as bait, will you?" ”
"Smart, I'll give you next week's meeting time, you know what to do." Commander Lin smiled, "As long as he makes a move, the two crimes of attacking civilians and internal friction are enough to destroy the centripetal force of his faction, and the next thing is much simpler." ”
"Is my safety guaranteed?" Hearing that he was being used as bait, Yun Qi's face was very ugly. "Or, do I have the right to refuse?"
"Honestly, no. But the use of thermal weapons has been greatly limited, relying only on cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat, if Captain Yuwen and classmate Xia cooperate, no one will hurt you. ”
"I'll be honest, it's difficult." Yun Qi rolled his eyes helplessly, "You don't know how fierce the two of them quarreled just now"
"Noisy?" Commander Lin frowned slightly, then he shrugged his shoulders and continued to look at Wen Jiàn. "Then you try to mediate, logistics is very demanding on interpersonal relationships, if you can't suppress this kind of small fights, then there is no need to cultivate."
"Uh, that's not the case"
"I still have a lot of things to do, and for the rest, you go to Yuwen to discuss."
Although Yun Qi still wanted to defend and protest, after Commander Lin gave the order to evict the guests, he lowered his head and concentrated on reading the text, making it clear that she didn't want to help, so she had to get up and leave first.
