Hicks replied respectfully, "The subordinates are all done, thank you for agreeing to the subordinates to make an exception." ”

"Based on your description of him, I am of course relieved that you have saved your child again. I believe that he will be a pillar of talent, and with the support of his peers, his path will go more smoothly. ”

"The adults can understand the thoughts of their subordinates, and the subordinates are very moved." This is where Hicks is most grateful. The Lord who strictly formulated the rules and created five prosperous bases could understand his great unconventional move of helping Wu Qi integrate all his companions into Noah City, and to be honest, it was beyond his expectations.

The city lord pulled a strand of hair and said with emotion: "It's nothing, I was able to survive the situation of exhaustion and gain a firm foothold in the occupied area, isn't it because of you?" Companions who are willing to intertwine each other's futures are the hardest to find, both for us and for those children. ”

The city lord's emotion touched Hicks's memories, reminding him of the hard times of entrepreneurship a few years ago. Today, they can develop a great cause in the fallen area where mankind has become extinct, which is the result of their wholehearted efforts and the joint action of God's favor. Either way, it would be impossible to erect five human survival bases in the Occupied Zone.

Although the time was difficult, facing endless difficulties and troubles that he had never experienced in the first half of his life, Hicks felt that that time was happy even now. This path was originally chosen by him by giving up the seemingly bright and smooth future, because being able to follow adults is what he hopes to do the most, and it is his original dream to become an adult's right-hand man, companion or even "rely on".

Hicks realized that he was thinking a little too much, what a holy person an adult was, and how could he talk about the word "dependent" with his strength. He bowed his head slightly, ready to retreat: "My lord, my subordinates have nothing else to do, so I won't bother you." ”

"Wait a minute." The city lord said suddenly. She took out a hand-held silver equipment box engraved with sky blue coats of arms on all four sides from under the desk, placed the silver equipment box on the table, and motioned for Hicks to take it.

"What is this?" Hicks stepped forward and picked up the silver gear box and asked suspiciously.

"Scientific research institutes and military factories have newly baked equipment 'Silver Star'. This is a single soldier equipment for war, and the strength is strong enough to match the continuous combat of the school officer on the battlefield, you can give this equipment to Wu Qi and them. ”

Hicks was surprised: "My lord, this precious new equipment should be equipped with elite escorts, how can you ......?"

"It's just one piece. Aren't you worried that Wu Qi and the others will encounter great danger in the future if they insist on choosing the investigation team outside the wall? Favored by our General Hicks, the future pillars of Noah City certainly need to be experienced and strengthened, but proper protection is also indispensable. The city lord smiled. She made a lot of sense, and she took into account everything Hicks hadn't taken into account.

Hicks's heart was slightly tingle. He thought to himself that the help provided by the adults was no longer limited to the level of trusting him, and the adults seemed to value Wu Qi as well.

But that's right. Without Wu Qi's words, the three immortal bones he led would not have been able to transport them back.

Hicks lifted the silver equipment box and told the lord to retreat, turned around and stepped over the purple carpet, and disappeared into the doorway of the office.

The mahogany-painted mechanical door closes. The castle lord leaned lightly on the back of the chair that could be turned at will, and the index finger and thumb of his left hand, which were as white as jade, gently twisted a few strands of silky hair. She pressed a button with her right hand to activate the electronic projection operation board on the desk and the electronic projection screen in the air; The palm of his hand waved on the electronic projection operation board, and the monitoring on the fifth floor was called up on the electronic projection screen.

The city lord rewinds the time of monitoring to just enough to see Hicks and Wu Qi standing in the elevator on the fifth floor, she enlarged the surveillance image, and the image that has become larger but has not become blurred is Wu Qi's face after magnifying without a trace of detail.

Those obsidian-like eyes, even through the electronic projection screen, are still so beautiful and moving. The city lord's gaze focused on Wu Qi's face, and there seemed to be waves in the depths of his beautiful eyes.

The strands of hair that rubbed between the index finger and thumb of the left hand suddenly fell, and the two pink fingertips continued to rub, as if the hair on the fingertips had not fallen.

In the middle of the night, the city lord turned off the electronic projection screen. She suddenly half-stood up, moved a few centimeters away from the office chair, hesitated for a moment and sat back down.

"Next time, see him next time." The city lord muttered to himself.

......

Night is coming, the silver moon hangs high above the dark night sky, dotted with stars dotted with slightly dark sky, and the clouds beside the bright moon are the only clouds in the night sky with the refraction of moonlight.

The purchase project that had been working overtime in the afternoon was finally over. Guo Baibai's assertiveness and command ability in choosing furniture and buying furniture will always be at a super-first-class level in this team that is all men except her.

Wu Qi's identity card has a large amount of task bonuses, which are too wasteful to buy an apartment or suite. So Guo Baibai used the money to buy the right to use a two-story villa on the artificial lake in the east of Noah City. The villa is spacious enough for all members of the team to live comfortably, and there is a lot of private space; The living resources such as electrical appliances and pure water in the villa are readily available, and the model household items such as beds and quilts have all been replaced by Guo Baibai, and as for other decorations and furniture, it is not too late to leave them for the next day and then arrange them.

Guo Baibai has a plan, she thinks about which corner of the pure wooden balcony with a view of the wide turquoise artificial lake and the island in the middle of the lake will be placed in potted plants. Gao Yuan mentioned "Why didn't I see you so powerful when I was in the dungeon of the Dawn Base", the corners of Guo Baibai's mouth rose, and he shot back with a sentence "Don't underestimate a woman's imagination that changes with the environment".

The clock hanging in the bedroom showed the time at half past eleven, at this time, Gao Yuan, Gu Changzai, and Krees, who had been running all day, were tired, and they threw themselves into the bed in their room and fell asleep, and the little red fox did not show any energy, and had fallen asleep in the warm fox nest.

Wu Qi moved a chair and sat on the pure wooden balcony, from which he could just enjoy the artificial lake sparkling by the silver moonlight and undulating with the evening breeze, as well as the buildings of Noah's City that surrounded the artificial lake.

Noah fell asleep punctually, and as far as the eye could see, there was not a single window on the edge of the lake that shone brightly. The same is true of their villas, where the only source of light is the bright moon in the sky.

A new home, the evening breeze, the scenery by the lake, the sky that can be seen anytime and anywhere. Wu Qi closed his eyes and felt everything around him, and there seemed to be a liquid flowing through his heart.

"What are you doing sitting here with a happy face?"

At this time, Guo Baibai's voice came from behind.
