Chapter 17: Into the City

In the afternoon, after more than three hours of driving, the convoy was not far from the Chengdu gathering place.

On both sides of the road, scattered buildings have appeared, all of which are two- and three-story houses, which should have been the houses of farmers in the suburbs, but now they are empty, and some have collapsed. And these houses are surrounded by green fields that cover as far as the eye can see.

The convoy drove on the highway at a constant speed, jolting from time to time, making everyone in the car sleepy. Most of the people in the car have been exhausted physically and mentally since the morning, and they are all asleep at the moment, only the driver who is driving is still holding on.

"Wake up, it's coming." Some of the people in the car who woke up saw the green fields and houses on both sides and knew that the convoy had arrived on the outskirts of Chengdu.

First one or two people woke up, and then all the sleepers were woken up. The car, which had been snoring, suddenly became noisy. Everyone is excited at the moment and is finally at their destination. As long as you get to a place protected by the army, security will be guaranteed.

"When I get to the gathering place, I'm going to eat a lot of delicious food." A five-year-old said.

"Okay, Mom will satisfy you!" Mother said with a smile. However, he looked up at the window again, with a sad face, wondering if his husband was still alive?

The convoy continued to move forward.

Ahead, large open-top trucks are neatly parked on the side of the road, loaded with colorful vegetables, and forklifts are delivering boxes of wooden frames full of vegetables to the trucks.

In the fields, many people are harvesting vegetables. Hearing the roar of the chaotic convoy, they looked up curiously, saw that it was only a small convoy, and buried their heads to continue the harvesting work.

The people in the convoy looked at the scene in front of them with excitement and curiosity through the glass, as if everything had returned to the pre-apocalyptic civilized world, and the convoy was like a tour group coming out for a spring outing.

Finally, the convoy arrived at the Chengdu gathering place.

In front of you, there is a three-story concrete fence, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The fence was built against the tall buildings, and soldiers standing guard could be faintly seen in these tall buildings.

The warrior slowly drove into the steel gate and came to a halt under the guidance of a soldier.

"Please have an accident certificate." The soldier said businessfully to Cao Yu and the others who got out of the car.

Cao Yu handed over a small army green notebook and said, "Mission No. 35345."

The soldier first scanned the document with the machine, then picked up the tablet and checked it.

"Hello sir." After a moment, the previously indifferent soldier stood up straight and shouted.

"You take us to the Commander now." Cao Yu ordered.

Luo Chen on the side looked at Cao Yu with some envy, in the army, the subordinates are absolutely obedient to the superiors, this is a wonderful feeling of having power, and Luo Chen likes this feeling very much.

Immediately the warrior drove out into the city.

In the office with the name tag of "Commander of the Military Region", in front of the desk sat an old man in an army green military uniform, his unpretentious face had some wrinkles. At this moment, he looked out the window on his right, and there was a trace of sorrow in his eyes, which he couldn't find if he didn't look carefully.

"Luo Chen, you come in." Cao Yu showed a meaningful smile.

Then, Luo Chen followed Cao Yu into the office a little nervously.

"You are Luo Chen." The old man looked at Luo Chen kindly.

"Well, it's me." Luo Chen pretended to be calm. I didn't expect that the person I saw this time was actually the supreme head of this base. You must know that among the people I have seen, the principal is already the biggest position, and the principal is like an ordinary person in front of him, so you can imagine how nervous Luo Chen is at the moment.

"Young man, don't be nervous, I can't do anything to you." The old man laughed.

Luo Chen smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

"What do you think of the world today?" The old man squinted.

Hearing this question, Luo Chen's nervousness suddenly disappeared, and he looked directly at the chief in front of him and said, "The sky will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds.... I think that this last day is a test given to us by heaven and earth, and as long as we get through it, there will be great surprises waiting for us in the future. ”

After Luo Chen finished speaking excitedly, he looked at the old man in front of him expectantly.

"Good, good, good." The old man said three good words in a row, which shows how excited he is, he is very satisfied with Luo Chen's answer, young people should have enthusiasm.

"Well, I'll appoint you colonel now." General Zhang looked at the young man in front of him with a playful expression, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Huh!?" Luo Chen and Cao Yu shouted in surprise.

"Commander, that's not good!" Cao Yu took the lead and said quickly.

"What's so bad! Luo Chen is a fourth-order ability, and he is also a dual-line, so he is qualified. The old man said undoubtedly. That is, Cao Yu, a security guard who had been with him for several years before the end of the world, dared to talk to himself like this, if he had changed people, he would have been dealt with by military law a long time ago.

"Commander, although several fourth-order supernatural beings in our military are already honorary colonels, Luo Chen can become a colonel as soon as he comes, which will make people gossip!" Cao Yu explained.

"Who dares to doubt my orders! Moreover, I will also appoint Luo Chen as a colonel with real power! Starting tomorrow, you will assist Luo Chen in managing an army. "In the old man's view, in troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy canons.

"Huh!?" Cao Yu and Luo Chen were stunned.

At this moment, Luo Chen looked at the old man in front of him with a resentful expression.

The old man turned his head and looked at Luo Chen with a kind face and said, "You will work hard in the future, don't be afraid, come to me if you have something." ”

"Hmm." Luo Chen could only nod. At this time, if he swept the old man's face, maybe he would be furious! Moreover, Luo Chen also wants to make a career in this last days, he is a man, he has ambitions.

After nothing else, Cao Yu took Luo Chen downstairs.

At this time, the old man sitting in front of the work exhaled deeply, and the trace of sorrow in his eyes disappeared, and he looked out the window with relief. I hope you don't disappoint me! I'm too old to fit in with this era.

Cao Yu first took Luo Chen to receive some daily necessities, and then took him to his dormitory.

"Tonight, you can live with me for a while." After entering the door, Cao Yu said.

"It's okay, just have a place to live." Luo Chen said with a smile.

At this time, Cao Yu suddenly had a serious face, looked at Luo Chen and said, "I hope you don't disappoint the old chief!" Immediately, his eyes stared at Luo Chen.

"No, it won't." Luo Chen replied lightly. In fact, Luo Chen's heart is like fire now, and he swears that he will never let him down. Although I don't know why the chief values himself so much, I will definitely repay the kindness of my knowledge in the future.

Tonight, Luo Chen lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, thinking with a face.
