Chapter 60: Flogging

Any realist, or someone with the slightest sense of crisis about the future, will be happy with 405's new location. It's private, spacious, and there's fresh air that you can't find indoors. But Niu Niu is not one of the above.

Niuniu's age and personality made her a dreamer, even if she was almost killed by Ah Ming, she didn't feel that her dream was wrong, but that the world was wrong.

Although Niuniu has been under house arrest, she was still in the city after all, and here, the nearest rest stop is also a twenty-minute drive away, and although the 405 fortress is very large, she doesn't have much place to wander, plus although Irina built this fortress in the shortest time, many details of the equipment are not yet in place, such as washing and sanitation equipment, water, electricity is not complete, the night everyone just moved in, Niuniu lost her temper with the simple toilet.

On the contrary, Niuniu's mother, Mrs. Feng, is almost perfect except for the shortcoming of doting on Niuniu. On the second day of moving in, Mrs. Feng found Ke Junxia and Irina and asked to undertake the work of improving and decorating the fortress, and came up with her own preliminary plan and quotation, Ke Junxia didn't know much about this set, but Irina seemed to be a jack of all trades, and immediately took Mrs. Feng to walk around the inside and outside of the fortress twice, and another day later, Mrs. Feng came up with a more accurate plan and quotation.

Although Mrs. Feng and Irina both said that the current price is almost equal to giving it away for nothing, it is also a huge number in Ke Junxia's eyes, fortunately, there are more lice and no itching and debts are not worried, and it is also out of trust in Irina that Ke Junxia signed the supply list without saying a word, and paid a small deposit for hard currency.

Mrs. Feng happily went out and brought back six workers and two machines that afternoon. An excavator and a loader.

When Ke Junxia was renovating the office of the Special Investigation Bureau, he experienced the painful experience of difficult to find workers and high prices, and later thanks to Mr. Feng's help, it was successfully completed, but this time it was thanks to Mrs. Feng, this couple is really a perfect match.

However, Ke Junxia still wanted to ask about labor, and after taking the question, he learned that these six workers did not want to be paid, and only hoped to get a hot drink and a hot meal during the construction period; Of course, these were not formal conditions, which were to establish a temporary shelter one hundred and fifty meters from the fort, and to allow them and their families to take refuge in the fort in case of emergency.

In order to ensure the last one, they asked for a list and a room to be used in the event of refuge.

Ke Junxia then remembered that the location of their fortress was one of the several locations on the higher ground of the metropolis, and if the metropolis really had the potential to become a flooded country, this was one of the few "islands" that could be exposed to sleep, and could be protected by arms, this asking price was actually not cheap.

Ke Junxia almost agreed to their conditions, not because he was greedy, but because he was a human weakness, he always liked to help others, and if others didn't put it forward, he generally couldn't bear to refuse.

Just when he was about to make this mistake, Irina appeared in time, she first gave the six people a psychological evaluation, learned about their family situation, and finally customized mutual aid terms, some of which were quite harsh, such as: the construction of a house must be in accordance with the construction standard of 405; Those who live for a long time must defend the fortress with guns and guns, and must also participate in the battle unconditionally in case of emergency evacuation; Ke Junxia felt that these were a bit excessive, people were originally here to seek refuge, but now they want to surround the fortress, how can this be justified?

Ke Junxia wanted to pull Irina out to talk about it, but before he could negotiate with Irina, the six workers all agreed and happily signed the contract.

Sending the workers away, before Ke Junxia could speak, Irina told him first, telling him: In the case of a catastrophe, the most important thing for people is to help each other, and the formation of sustainable rescue can save more people, and blindly helping others without asking for anything in return will quickly exhaust their own resources, and finally everyone is finished.

Ke Junxia felt that what Irina said was reasonable, but he always felt that he couldn't get over it, so he simply begged Irina to be responsible for this kind of thing in the future.

Irina agreed, but then said: "I can be responsible for evaluating the negotiation process, but the final resolution still needs your signature, the harsher the situation, the more you need an authoritative leader, I think you are the most suitable now." ”

In fact, Ke Junxia felt a little pimple in his heart about this matter, but Mrs. Feng said in front of him intentionally or unintentionally: "Your Excellency the forensic doctor is really dedicated to cultivating you." ”

This sentence woke Ke Junxia up at once, so he threw away all the dark thoughts in his heart.

On the third day, the construction team entered the site, and for a while the machine roared, waking Niuniu up from the bed, and angrily called Mom, but it was useless to shout, Mrs. Feng was wearing work clothes and a group of workers were in full swing.

However, by noon, the workers were not satisfied, because the contract was written in black and white, and the fort was to provide a hot meal, but although there were many women in the whole fort, none of them could cook. Mrs. Feng is too busy, Niuniu is pampered, and she can only make the so-called love breakfast; The rest of the huntress were all female men, and Ke Junxia was the one who could barely cook, but Irina wouldn't let him do it, saying, "You shouldn't do this." ”

I had no choice but to follow the original method, send someone to the nearest restaurant to order food, and when the meal came back, the hot meal became a cold meal, so that the workers complained for a good meal, and when the construction began again, the noise seemed to become louder.

At this time, Hao Qiying came back with his family, as well as coconuts and drifting snow.

Ke Junxia was like a savior he saw, and said to Mrs. Hao: "Sister-in-law, can you cook for a dozen people every meal?" I'm going to build a canteen, and you're going to be the canteen manager. ”

Mrs. Hao was stunned, and before she could talk, Hao Qiying rushed to say: "She can do it there, and the dishes she makes can poison people." ”

Ke Junxia's heart sank, but he heard Mrs. Hao say: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I am a person who has won the silver medal in the housewife cooking competition, and I have also challenged professional chefs." But if you want to hire me, I'm going to pay in hard currency. ”

Hao Qiying said: "What nonsense are you talking about, where is there so much hard currency now." ”

Ke Junxia said: "That's it, half of the hard currency, half of the physical good?" Let's talk to our director, Sister Lin Quan, specifically. ”

"Okay. I'm a master bargainer. Mrs. Hao said, happily stuffed the baby into Hao Qiying's arms and said, "You hold it for a while." Then he happily went to find Lin Quan.

When Ke Junxia begged Mrs. Hao to be the canteen manager just now, Coconut was always beside her, and she didn't get in a few times when she wanted to talk, and when Ke Junxia turned to her, she snorted and turned her head and left, which made Ke Junxia very embarrassed, so she had to smile at Hao Qiying and say, "Men are not good to do." The latter smiled awkwardly in agreement.

Coconut has been ignoring Ke Junxia, but directly found Mrs. Feng, saying that she didn't want to live in a suite with a monkey, and didn't want to negotiate with Ke Junxia to change rooms, so she asked Mrs. Feng to close the door in the middle of the suite when she was decorating, and then open an outward door to make the bathroom separately.

Mrs. Feng said that the change of decoration also had to be signed by Ke Junxia. Coconut had no choice, so he had to fill out an application form and go to Ke Junxia angrily, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Irina and Lin Quan were there.

Irina smiled, "You're here just in time, I'm planning to gather a few of our core members for a meeting." ”

Coconut said angrily: "When did I become a core member?" ”

Ke Junxia said: "Don't say that, you have always been an important member of 405." ”

Coconut slapped the application form in front of Ke Junxia and said, "Then you signed this!" ”

"What." Irina wanted to reach out for it, but Ke Junxia covered it with one hand and said, "This is for me." Then he took a general look at the contents, glanced at Irina again, said nothing, picked up the pen and signed, and then gave the coconut back.

The coconut originally had a belly of anger, but just like that, not only was the anger gone, but he actually had the heart to glance at Irina with provocative eyes.

Ke Junxia said: "Then let's have a meeting, Your Excellency Irina will talk about the current situation first." ”

Irina told Emperor Jian about the recent situation, but the details were not missing at all. After finishing speaking, Coconut said angrily: "So the boss of 405 is now His Excellency the Forensic Medical Officer?" ”

Irina said, "No, I'm just the creditor of Chief Ke, who is still the absolute leader of 405. ”

Coconut said: "Then I don't care, I came here just after watching Xiao Ke, as long as I think Xiao Ke can't be the master, I'll take my people away, and the action team leader will find another one." ”

Irina said: Regarding the fact that Director Ke is the absolute leader of 405, everyone can rest assured that I know what position I am suitable for.

Coconut smiled disdainfully, and then said, "Anyway, the days are still long, you can see it." Is that all for today? It's okay, I'm going to take a shower and get some more sleep. I haven't been able to close my eyes for the past few days. ”

"There's one more thing, and that's discipline," Irina said. ”

The coconut had already turned around to leave, but now he turned back and said, "What should I do, don't worry, my people will be fine." ”

Irina said: "But your people are not equal to all the people of 405, our people will increase in the future, and the composition will become more and more complex, so we must set the rules, otherwise Director Ke will really become an empty shelf." ”

Coconut said: "It's okay to set the rules, but according to the current situation, the punishment must not be ordinary." ”

Irina said, "Of course, troubled times use heavy codes. However, even if the sentence is enforced, there are procedures and rules. ”

At this time, Lin Quan interjected and said, "The disciplinary regulations were formulated by Her Excellency Irina and me, and we also tried to take into account the balance between humanitarianism and humanitarianism. Only one type of corporal punishment was instituted - whipping, in groups of five lashes, up to a maximum of twenty. ”

Before the coconut could speak, Ke Junxia stood up, his eyebrows twisted into a ball and said, "No!" Flesh punishment is the ugliest thing in earthly classicism, and it cannot be revived here. ”

Irina smiled and said, "We are not here to restore bad habits, but for order and the well-being of the majority. Besides, when you handle cases, you sometimes use some extraordinary means. ”

Ke Junxia said: "Then how can it be the same, the object is different." ”

Lin Quan said: "It's no different, they all use cruel means to deal with the same kind. ”

Ke Junxia looked at Lin Quan, and for the first time felt that this face really looked like a monkey, so he said, "Don't give me logic." Since you think I'm the absolute leader of 405, did you have my authorization when you made this regulation? And you, Your Excellency. ”

He said, turning to Irina: "I've always respected you and always felt that you were training me to be a better person, but today your advice has made me reacquaint myself with you. Actually, I don't care about the leader or something, if I really wanted to go back to the barbarism of Earth classicism, I would have moved to the Blackwater city-state a long time ago. ”

Lin Quan also wanted to persuade Ke Junxia, but was stopped by Irina with a look, and then she said: "Please forgive me, I really didn't think about this matter and didn't seek your opinion in advance." Since you are unwilling to do so, I can withdraw the proposal, but I would like to remind you that now is the best time to enact this regulation. ”

Ke Junxia said a little impatiently: "Withdrawal is the best, don't say anything else." At most, let you be the leader here, and I'll just go back and be a normal hunter. I can't afford to pay off my debts anyway. ”

Irina smiled bitterly, shook her head, turned around to leave, and Lin Quan was about to follow, when suddenly Coconut said, "Wait a minute, I approve of this proposal." ”

Ke Junxia felt a little surprised, but still said angrily: "It's useless for you to approve, when I am the leader, I have already vetoed it." ”

Coconut didn't talk to Ke Junxia directly, but said to Irina and Lin Quan: "You two avoid it, I need to talk to Xiao Ke alone." ”

Irina usually taboos coconut and Ke Junxia to be alone, but this time she was very generous, and even smiled at the coconut before going out, Lin Quan hesitated, but was pulled out of the door by Irina.

"It's useless for you to persuade me." Ke Junxia said to Coconut: "I will not agree to such a barbaric thing. ”

Coconut still didn't talk to Ke Junxia directly, but walked quickly to Ke Junxia, held his face, and began to kiss him affectionately.
