Chapter 143: Operation Thunder
The man pressed the document under his hand, and the words "Second Base Grain Depot Reserve Report (Secret)" were written impressively.
"Chief."
His hands trembled. He had prepared the report himself, and he knew best why men were angry.
In the past two months, the grain depot reserves of the second base have been increasing, and on the surface, everything is in good condition.
As everyone knows, in fact, the grain depot at the base is almost empty. But because the person in charge of the grain depot at the base wrote a good report on it, it was only two months before it was hidden.
Now that it has been investigated by a suspicious man, a bloody purge is inevitable.
"After the punishment is over, tell me now how long you can eat the rest of the food." The man asked, staring at his men.
"It's enough to eat the whole base for seven days at most, or when everyone is tightening their belts." The subordinates lowered their heads, "Otherwise, chief, let's stop giving relief food to those ordinary people every day, they can't fight zombies, it's useless." The base keeps them, but they always scold us for being bad......"
"Enough!"
The man scolded, and his subordinates trembled in shock: "I don't care what others say, and I don't care what other bases do." From the first day of the establishment of the second base, it was built by the state to protect the people, and this will never change. If I hear that kind of thing just now, if I hear it again, you won't wear this military uniform! ”
The subordinate quickly straightened up and shouted "yes". But he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the chief protected these survivors too well. Other bases force survivors to go out in search of supplies, but they don't.
Someone has proposed a plan called "Thunder Operation" before, which is probably to organize special abilities in the base, with the second base as the center, while expanding the scope to clear zombies, while collecting supplies. As a result, he was severely scolded by the chief and dismissed. Since then, no one has dared to mention it.
The anger on his face faded, and the man showed a rare trace of exhaustion.
After a long time, he waved his hand: "You go and inform the lower side, the 'Thunder Operation' proposed before has been passed, and it will be implemented." ”
The hand was stunned.
Operation Thunder!
God, the chief actually figured it out!
He was excited: "W-When will it start?" ”
"Tomorrow."
"Yes!"
After his men left, the man leaned back in his chair, was silent for a while, and suddenly opened the drawer, and at the bottom of the pile of papers, took out a locked iron box, and took out a key from his bosom.
This iron box is really an ordinary iron box, but the key to the iron box is hidden by the man in the inner lining of the left chest of the military uniform.
The man carefully opened the box and took out a picture frame from inside.
The photo on the frame is the same as the photo in the crazy man's pendant.
The man gently touched the little boy in the photo, as if he had fallen into some long-term memory, and after a long time, he put the picture frame back as it was.

After getting the exact whereabouts of Empress Yin and Yajieyu, Xia Qingyang's heart fell to the ground slightly.
The two mothers are really capable. The trick of exchanging medicine for food seems to be something that Yajieyu can think of.
When listening to Vera talk about this, Xia Qingyang still had a sense of pride that my family had a girl who had just grown up.
The next plan is not complicated.
Xia Qingyang planned to go to the Tempest Base first to find the two queens, and the four of them would go back to the second base together. Then find a way to win the trust of the leader of the second base, and with the help of the power of the second base, investigate the first base and find a breakthrough in the side quest.
As for how to gain the trust of the leader of the second base. Originally, Xia Qingyang imagined that after picking up the two queens, he would connect with Zhang Xu's friend and slowly figure them out.
But the opportunity came much sooner than she had imagined.
The next morning, all the survivors who had registered for the rare ability gathered in the base square. I've heard that it's a 'Thunder Operation' that's about to begin.
Xia Qingyang and the others, who had not had time to set off, were naturally brought to the square.
Concubine An Guifei was hit on the shoulder twice by the dense crowd, resisted the urge to beat people, and frowned unhappily: "What is this called, don't you already know the whereabouts of the queen." Let's sneak away, don't participate in their 'Operation Thunder'. ”
Xia Qingyang pulled An Guifei's sleeve, brought her to a slightly looser position, and made a shushing motion: "Listen." ”
There are thousands of rare abilities in the second base.
Thousands of people crowded into this square, and it was impossible not to shout.
But if you listen carefully, you can still hear that at the front of the square, there is a person holding a megaphone and talking about the specific content of Operation Thunder:
“…… For every team of twenty people, each team must have at least one or two spatial abilities. At that time, the base will arrange a truck for each team, and each team will explore according to their own route, exterminate the zombies, and bring back supplies......"
Xia Qingyang blinked and looked at An Guifei: "The Tempest Base is more than two hundred kilometers away from here, you don't want to go on foot, right?" ”
An Guifei was stunned.
It turns out that it can still be like this.
Hitchhike!
An Guifei thought of a question: "The team is randomly assigned." How can you guarantee that we'll be assigned to the Tempest base? ”
Xia Qingyang raised his eyebrows and showed a bright smile: "Because I heard it, the person in charge in front of me, he said that his name is Luo Ziping." ”
Who is Luo Ziping.
Concubine An felt that this name was a little familiar, and just as she was about to ask, she found that Xia Qingyang took out the letter of recommendation that Zhang Xu gave them.
Oh, she remembered that Luo Ziping was the captain of the Second Base Material Brigade and the friend in Zhang Xu's mouth.
"Are you going to ask Luo Ziping to put us in the team that goes to the Tempest base?"
"That's right. And there was something else I wanted him to help with. ”
"What."
"I covet the megaphone in his hand."
“……”
Xia Qingyang pulled Concubine An Guifei, squeezed through the flow of people, and it took a long time before finally squeezing to the front.
At this time, Luo Ziping just finished speaking, handed the megaphone to the person next to him who was responsible for dividing the team, and stepped back to rest.
Xia Qingyang was not hindered, and came directly to him: "Hello Captain Luo, my name is Xia Qingyang." ”
"Hello?" Luo Ziping looked at this delicate-looking girl with some confusion and found that he didn't know her.
"That's right, Captain Luo, my friend and I are here from the Tianhuo base. This is the temporary leader of the Tianhuo Base, Zhang Xu, asked me to hand it over to you, and he said that you can understand it if you read it. ”
Xia Qingyang handed the letter to Luo Ziping, Luo Ziping opened it and looked at it, and his eyebrows immediately stretched: "It turned out to be Ah Xu's friend." I have a general understanding of the situation, you want to find someone at the second base, right? ”
