Chapter 42 Returning Home

The plaza in front of the superbuilding is large, with four standard lanes for the largest construction vehicles on the ground floor. Even though the whole city has been under martial law these days, and there are many more patrols on the outdoor roads, at about 8 o'clock in the morning, there is still a constant flow of traffic outside the building, on one side are vehicles transporting all kinds of food, medicines, parts and other consumables and goods specially ordered by individual people, waiting in a long line to enter the building, and on the other side, huge trucks that have unloaded goods and a few vehicles transporting garbage are slowly driving out of it.

Geng Jiangyue has only seen this kind of scene twice since he was a child.

The first time was when he moved after graduating from high school, and that time he intuitively understood for the first time that the tens of thousands of people in the super building needed to consume so many supplies.

And today, he saw something different from the last time.

More than 20 special escort vehicles with extremely thick armor drove out of the building, escorted by a security guard who was more exaggerated than the patrol team, and slowly headed in the direction of the power supply center of the tenth district.

"What kind of car is that?" the commuter car slowly stopped on the side of the road in the square in front of the No. 91 Super Building, and Geng Jiangyue couldn't help but ask Mengmeng.

Mengmeng looked a little surprised, and asked rhetorically, "You don't know?"

Geng Jiangyue shook his head.

Mengmeng explained: "That's the escort car of the power center!"

Geng Jiangyue was still confused.

Wang Yaojing added: "Transporting batteries!"

Geng Jiangyue probably understood a little, then raised his hand to look at the time, and hurriedly said: "Wait for me for twenty minutes, come back immediately, and continue to talk when I come back." As he spoke, he picked up the food box, opened the car door and jumped in.

The chassis of the commuter car is very high, about half a meter above the ground.

It is said to be designed to prevent some phantom creatures that are good at burrowing into the ground or attacking from underground, but Geng Jiangyue felt that this design was very unconvincing.

After getting out of the car, Geng Jiangyue ran towards the front door of the building.

As he approached the gate quickly, the volume of those trucks also seemed intuitive.

It is estimated that they can be five or six meters high, and the cargo capacity is beyond his imagination.

So these cars don't actually come every day.

Sometimes once every three to five days, and if the interval is long, there are ten days and half a month.

It depends on whether there is a shortage of materials in the building, or if it is a trading day for the building management committee and certain factories.

It's always a lot of fun, but it's definitely not every day.

It can only be said that Geng Jiangyue is very lucky, he can always catch up with the excitement, open his eyes, and gain a long insight.

After trotting for a distance, Geng Jiangyue slowed down slightly when he was still about ten steps away from the gate.

The old man downstairs wearing the security uniform of the building, saw Geng Jiangyue, who was wearing a military uniform and carrying the rank of corporal on his shoulder, and his eyes almost popped out. The old man is a former colleague of Lao Geng, and it can be said that he grew up watching Geng Jiangyue in the early years. Later, after Lao Geng's accident, Geng Jiangyue never went down to the second floor, and the number of times he met the old man was not much, only occasionally when the school was not in class, he would meet in the cafeteria. So the two of them are quite familiar.

Recently, the old man has watched Geng Jiangyue go in and out of the building many times.

After moving, Geng Jiangyue came back four times, each time he was fast in and out, burned incense for his father, quarreled with his mother, and hurried back to Building 31. The most recent, of course, was the night before yesterday.

At that time, this old man was still a little worried that Geng Jiangyue would die on the road......

But right now, who would have thought that Geng Jiangyue was not only still alive, but also put on a military uniform!

Fake, right?

This thought flashed through the old man's mind, but immediately, he rejected it.

Who would dare to pretend to be a soldier so ostentatious?

Even if you are so poor that you want to eat in prison, you won't do such a thing.

Citizens below the first level wear military uniforms indiscriminately, but they will be directly deprived of their household registration!

Without a household registration, even the treatment of prisoners does not exist......

"That...... Xiao Yue!" The old man was bold and shouted to Geng Jiangyue, who was walking in front of him.

Geng Jiangyue smiled faintly, turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"

The old janitor unconsciously showed an extremely flattering smile, and asked excitedly: "...... are you?"

"Oh, I made a meritorious service and was specially recruited into the army. Geng Jiangyue said casually, and walked straight in without looking back.

The old man looked at Geng Jiangyue's distant back, and watched Geng Jiangyue walk to the staircase far away, before he sighed: "Old Geng has accumulated yin virtue, his son and wife, now he is going to enjoy happiness......

With the pleasure of pretending to be forced in his heart, Geng Jiangyue walked up to the second floor. Building No. 2 at 8 o'clock is the morning rush hour, and the building is noisy and unusual, only the staircase seems empty.

Geng Jiangyue, who was wearing a military uniform, walked into the crowd and did not look abrupt today. Because Building 91, like Building 36, has also been arranged with a lot of city guards on duty, in the eyes of ordinary people, Geng Jiangyue must also be here to be on an errand.

Geng Jiangyue looked around relaxedly as if he wanted to go home, and then, without delay, walked straight to the small window of McCann's grocery store not far from the staircase as usual.

There were more than a dozen people queuing up in front of the small window, Geng Jiangyue honestly lined up at the back of the line, moving forward little by little, and when the person in front of him finished buying things and walked away, McCann saw Geng Jiangyue's face clearly, and suddenly shouted like a ghost: "You, you, you...... What's the matter with you?!"

"Don't leave you, bring me a bundle of the best incense, two candles, weigh two catties of fruit candy, put any flavor in it, oh, by the way, take two catties of beef jerky, two catties of pork jerky, two catties of grilled fish fillet, and then take another ...... Get a cake! Birthday cake!"

Geng Jiangyue reported a bunch of things in one breath.

McCann stared at him, blinked, and said weakly: "Xiao Yue, you must have committed some crime, you want to run back and cheat something from me to give your mother, and then you will be gone, right? Your clothes are not your own, right?"

"Damn, are you stupid? Where am I going to get this?" Geng Jiangyue casually took out his non-commissioned officer card from his chest pocket, raised it in front of McCann, and said, "See?

McCann sneaked a glance at Geng Jiangyue's wrist, still disbelieving: "You don't have that watch for the army......"

"What watch?" Geng Jiangyue looked confused.

McCann suddenly looked like this.

Just as he was about to say something, Wang Yaojing and Mengmeng suddenly appeared behind Geng Jiangyue, and said with a smile: "Master Yue, I think it's better to come over and explain the situation to your mother in person, so that she won't believe you and make her scared." ”

Mengmeng continued: "Yes, if Auntie thinks too much and kills her relatives and calls the police or something, it will be troublesome to explain." We also have to give you an identity certificate and cooperate with the police system to make a record. On the police system, things are very slow, some shameless, maybe they will take the opportunity to blackmail us, don't say more, if you want to beat those little ghosts, one or two thousand yuan is always indispensable. ”

"I'm so shameless?!" Geng Jiangyue was shocked, but in his heart he was thinking about the [Resentful Heart] he had sold.

Dog's day, the internal system extorts to the level of 1,000 yuan, if that [Resentful Heart] is just needed, maybe I was a little more shameless at that time, maybe 5,000 alliance coins can be obtained, right?

This thought crossed his mind, and Geng Jiangyue couldn't help but feel a little painful.

On the one hand, he didn't want his mother to know how awesome he was now, and on the other hand, he felt that Wang Yaojing and Mengmeng were reasonable, so he hesitated for a moment, so he had to say to Wang Yaojing and Mengmeng: "That's okay, but don't tell her the details, let's be vague." ”

"Don't worry! I know it in my heart! I guarantee that you will have face in front of your mother and will not cause trouble!" Wang Yaojing put his arm around Geng Jiangyue's shoulder. At this time, a private-class soldier walked by on the side, who happened to meet Wang Yaojing's eyes, and hurriedly saluted: "Hello sir!"

"Eh, hello!" Wang Yaojing grinned and nodded in a good mood.

Geng Jiangyue asked, "You know each other?"

Wang Yaojing shook his head: "I don't know, but this is the rule." Ensign and above are the chiefs, and you will definitely be better than me in the future. ”

Geng Jiangyue sighed, and then suddenly remembered what he was here for, and said to McCann in a hurry: "What are you doing! Take something! I'm still in a hurry to do business!"

McCann carefully looked at Wang Yaojing and Mengmeng, feeling that Geng Jiangyue would never be able to find three such clothes, so he organized a group to come to his commissary to defraud, and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, ...... right away What did you just say you wanted?"

Geng Jiangyue rolled his eyes impatiently, and then reported what he had just asked for again.

McCann listened to Geng Jiangyue and quickly weighed the goods in the grocery store.

The paper bags were quickly wrapped, and at the same time, listening to the outside of the window, Geng Jiangyue asked Wang Yaojing: "Brother Goblin, what is that watch for?"

"This one...... The enhanced version of the citizen card, it's not very useful, it's a little more functional, and you don't need to take the citizen card on your body when you wear this watch in the future, and we'll go to the logistics center to get one later. Wang Yaojing explained inappropriately.

Geng Jiangyue sighed.

A few minutes later, Geng Jiangyue put the citizen card on McCann's card machine, and with a drip, he paid for it neatly.

The remaining 60 yuan in the card was spent ninety percent at once, almost not enough.

Under the gaze of McCann who had earned a large ticket but was still in doubt, Geng Jiangyue and the three of them carried large bags and small bags, walked directly up the stairs and towards the third floor. Mengmeng helped Geng Jiangyue carry the cake and asked curiously, "Is it your mother's birthday or your own birthday?"

"Neither. Geng Jiangyue said casually, "It's just that my mother doesn't seem to have eaten this, anyway, there is no shortage of money now, buy something good first for her to taste, and make her happy." ”

When Mengmeng heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then she was silent.

The kind of birthday cake in her hand is basically not eaten in Nancheng. The sugar content is too high, the sweetness is greasy, and the general storage time has passed for a long time, and it is neither tasty, nor fresh, nor is it a good thing......

It turns out that the little Venerable lived like this before......

Looking at Geng Jiangyue's happy appearance, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
