Chapter 129: Candidates

The mist evaporates, dissipating the dampness and cold characteristic of the southern winter.

Everyone chatted while eating, in the past few days since Zhuang Yichen left, under Lin Xiao's deliberate closeness, his Huya mercenary group and the origin have become closer and closer. Lao Wang Lianghe and the others took everyone to cooperate with Lin Xiao and completed several tasks together. The furniture and carpets that surprised Zhuang Yichen as soon as he entered the door were also private goods that he had brought with him in these missions.

Similarly, everyone's overall strength has also grown a lot, Chen Tianjie successfully entered the fourth order, and Lao Wang also condensed the magic crystallization and became a one-star mage. Liang He, Han Yu, and Zheng Xiaoyu, the two sisters, they have also reached the peak of the third order, and it is only a matter of time before they break through the fourth order.

The powerful individual combat power of the origin and the dense heavy firepower of Huya just form a perfect complement, and after several missions, the cooperation between the two sides has become more and more tacit.

Throwing off his arms and burying his head in eating for a while, Zhuang Yichen finally filled his empty stomach, he picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to Liang He, and then poured a big sip.

The cold beer poured into the mouth, and the original spicy and fiery excitement instantly turned into a bone-chilling coolness. The stimulation of the two heavens of ice and fire made Zhuang Yichen shudder, hot pot and cold beer are really a pair of good friends.

After pouring the cold beer, he scooped up two more chopsticks of wide powder, looked down at it casually, and found that there was something wrong with the stove cooking the hot pot.

"Oh, when did the camp become so generous, we can all use induction cookers?"

Lao Wang put down the wine glass in his hand and explained with a smile, "Haha, take a good look at it, it is the latest achievement of the Military Research Institute, the Magic Energy Furnace." ”

Zhuang Yichen took a closer look when he heard this, and the thing was a black metal disc, which looked like an induction cooker, but the thing that provided it with energy had become a magic crystal.

"This little thing, put a piece of Sinking Demon Crystal, and it can last for a whole day to release a high temperature of five hundred degrees. Now the whole camp depends on this for cooking, heating. Lao Wang continued.

Zhuang Yichen was stunned for a moment, he had heard that the military had been conducting similar research before, but he didn't expect it to be popularized so soon. In this way, the Sinking Demon Crystal has completely become a practical new energy source. And the Sinking Demon Camp, which was surrounded by layers of the military, has also completely turned into a magic crystal mine. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Tsk, I didn't expect the military's black technology to come out so soon!" ”

Liang He picked up a beef ball, and said while blowing: "That is, listening to Lin Xiao, during this time, many studies in the camp's scientific research institute have made breakthroughs. This magic furnace is only the most mature and first popularized fruit. ”

"In fact, it's not just the Dawn camp, now that the situation has basically stabilized, all the base cities in the country have almost come to a wave of small outbreaks of technology."

Zhuang Yichen nodded again and again when he heard it, along with the catastrophe of the end times, there were countless new energy and new materials. These will also promote the development of human technology. Like the mining site he saw in the wilderness, the lava behemoth's magma pool, in the hands of humans, turned into an inexhaustible treasure.

Just when this hot pot was in full swing, there was also an old man eating at another table.

Since he is an old man, eating naturally will not be as exciting as that of young people. On the army-green tin table, there was just a plate of braised pork, a large bowl of white rice, and a few green vegetables on top of the rice.

Such a meal is, of course, a luxury in these last days. It's just that if you compare it with the identity of this old man who is dining, you can't even talk about luxury.

The old man looked very wild when eating, sandwiching a piece of braised pork and pulling a few large mouthfuls of rice. After chewing a few times, before the mouth was swallowed, I took another bite of the green vegetables and chewed them with a click. The voice was crisp and clean, it was obviously just a meal, but it felt like a war.

With the crisp sound of chewing vegetables, the old man's thick voice also came out.

"Xiao Zhang, haven't you decided on your candidate yet?"

The one called Xiao Zhang is actually middle-aged, and the rank of major general on his shoulders is shining. But these still did not prevent the old man from calling him Xiao Zhang.

Because this old man is the commander-in-chief of the Jinling Military Region, one of the few generals in the Republic who holds real power.

"Report to the chief, I am the only one who meets the criteria of the seventh team, and now I can only consider candidates from outside the army."

The old man pursed his lips and poured the last bits of braised gravy on the plate. "Candidates outside the army, well, I read all the files you gave me yesterday. According to you, you just want that young man, right? ”

"Yes, Chief! I did the assessment of his strength myself. In terms of the strength of his mental power, he is completely competent. ”

"I know there are a lot of people who can do it. But what about loyalty? This is the Prime Minister's Guard, protecting the safety of the Prime Minister! The old man waved his hand, tossed the rice and gravy in the bowl, and continued to eat.

"But you've seen his files, too. The foundation is so innocent, and the things he did in Jiangcheng Prison before entering the Dawn Camp are enough to prove it. ”

The old man finished shaving the rice in the bowl in a few bites, took a paper towel, and wiped his mouth meticulously. "Of course I know that, but don't forget, he also refused to join Team Seven."

At this time, the person beside Major General Zhang, who had not spoken all along, opened his mouth. If Zhuang Yichen was present, he would immediately recognize this person as Lin Xue's grandfather, and that Major General Zhang was the military magician he saw when he first entered the Dawn Camp and evaluated his strength.

"The chief, at least for now, is loyal to the motherland and to the people. As for political consciousness, young people nowadays, we can't ask too much. ”

The old man put down the tissue, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Well, Chief Engineer Lin, this monster riot in Jiangcheng was also saved by him. You've met him too, tell me what you think of this young man. ”

"Calm, but very immature."

"Okay." The old man thought for a while, maybe it was Chief Engineer Lin's personal opinion that finally moved him, he nodded without hesitation, and then said, "Then you can contact him first." Ask him what he means. After all, no matter how much we talk here, it's also a shaved head, and it's hot! ”

Chief Engineer Lin nodded, and then smiled and continued, "Yes." Now is not our era, when every task assigned by the party represents supreme glory. Today's young people don't think so! ”

"I first invited him to his house for a light meal in the name of gratitude, and mentioned this matter to him by the way to see what he meant."

The old man nodded, and said no more. As soon as I had eaten my meal, a feeling of fatigue came over me. Although his body is still strong, the increasingly loose skin and age spots on his face quietly show the signs of age. He waved his hand at the two of them, closed his eyes, and rested back in his chair.
