Except for a few excited boys like Qi Rui, everyone else had fallen asleep early. Although fifteen people were squeezed into two cars, they all slept soundly under the warm air of the air conditioning. The next morning, they were awakened by the sound of knocking on the car door.
“You guys are really sound sleepers. If we hadn’t knocked, we were about to break the car.” Two young soldiers outside the car smiled and said to Xiao Wen as he opened the car door.
Xiao Wen smiled, “After being jostled for so long, we finally found a safe place. Everyone relaxed.”
The two soldiers nodded in understanding.
“Your car is really warm. It’s cold outside, so you guys don’t need to get out. I’ll go up and check the number of people.” One of the soldiers said.
Xiao Wen made room for them to get on the car, and the other soldier walked towards the other car.
Checking the number of people was just a routine. That night, the cars in the quarantine zone were monitored by more than ten people at all times. If there were any mutations, their teammates would have noticed it long ago. However, the procedure still had to be followed.
After verifying the number of people and confirming that no one had mutated, the young soldier made a hand gesture towards the inner wall, and soon a car drove out.
“Follow him, he will take you to register and arrange accommodation.” The young soldier said to Xiao Wen after greeting the driver of the car that came.
“After saying ‘thank you’, Xiao Wen closed the car door and the two cars followed the lead car into the actual rescue station.
The inside of the station was different from the outskirts where they had spent the night. Upon entering the gate, they saw many soldiers entering and leaving various warehouse-like buildings, probably on patrol.
Although almost all of the survivors who had survived the first wave of mutations were immune and would not turn into zombies due to the virus in the air, caution was still necessary. If someone did happen to mutate, biting others one after another, the situation would not be easily controlled.
After passing two rows of warehouses, the car arrived at a six-story building, which was probably where they were headed.
Sure enough, the leading car parked under a building on the right-hand side.
“Everyone get out, I’ll take you in for registration,” said a man in military uniform who got out of the lead car. Unlike the other soldiers wearing camouflage, this officer was dressed in formal military attire and clearly stood out from the rest of the soldiers.
“Hello,” Han Ya jumped out of the car and extended his hand, which the officer shook in return.
“Welcome to the X City Military Region,” the officer said, and seeing that Xiao Wen and the others had also gotten out of their car, he led them into the building.
The officer took them to the third floor and knocked on the door at the outermost part of the floor. After hearing the echo from inside, he opened the door and walked in. The others followed suit.
“Hello, welcome to the X City Military Region,” two young men in military uniforms stood up from behind a desk.
“Hello.” Han Ya walked up and shook hands with each of the young men. “May I ask what we need to do?”
The young man on the left smiled. “Just register one by one later. Did you submit gasoline to us before?”
Han Ya nodded and took out the previous card from his pocket and handed it over.
The young man checked it and looked up after confirming that it was issued by the rescue station.
“Are you all together?”
“Yes. Fifteen people including children.”
The young man hesitated.
“Is there any problem?” Han Ya asked.
The two young men looked at each other before explaining, “Here, submitting special items can allow you to live in the dormitory building. However, generally one card only provides one dormitory, and if there are less than eight people, other people will be arranged in the dormitory. Your group is too big for one dormitory.”
Han Ya understood. He had been wondering before how it was possible to arrange all the people in the dormitory by just submitting a special item.
“We won’t make it difficult for you. Before we came in, we didn’t understand the rules here. Do you think it’s still possible to submit some more items now?” Han Ya weighed his words and whispered.
The two young men, including the officer who led the way earlier, all brightened up.
“Young Master Xiao, you register them first, and this one…” the officer said to one of the young men before turning and crouching down to the side.
Han Ya followed him and walked to the other side.
“My surname is Han, Han Ya.”
“My surname is Liu, Liu Yikun. Mr. Han, are you saying that you still have special items?” Liu Yikun also went straight to the point.
“Yes, initially we only turned in a part of them,” Han Ya said.
“What do you have?” Liu Yikun couldn’t tell for sure. Since they were driving a military vehicle, it was normal for them to have some firearms.
Nowadays, unlike in peacetime, the government army no longer imposes weapon control on survivors. However, the army currently has no shortage of firearms, but it’s different for other items.
“Medicines. Because we have elderly people and children, we have been collecting medicine along the way for emergency needs,” Han Ya said without beating around the bush.
Liu Yikun’s eyes widened instantly. Medicines were what they needed most.
Since the food and firearms were in the hands of the army, the government officials were eager to hoard the items turned in by the survivors.
In the two days before the snow disaster, the army was busy rescuing people and had no chance to collect supplies.
Moreover, they didn’t expect the government officials to immediately try to gain control over the aid stations as soon as they were safe.
This place was originally a military district, and the military personnel accounted for a large part of it.
As a result, the military and politics seemed close on the surface, but secretly they hated each other and would draw swords against each other if necessary.
They did have food and firearms, but soldiers were human beings too and got sick.
The medical resources of the military medical department were insufficient, and many medicines were damaged when the comatose patients were sent there in the beginning.
Later, when the zombies broke out, the medical department was directly wiped out, and many of the soldiers were now lying in their dormitories, suffering from illness and pain.
“We don’t need you to hand over everything, just keep what you need and try to hand over as much as possible. We really need medical resources now,” Liu Yikun quickly said. He had the straightforwardness of a soldier and wouldn’t be like the government officials who would ask for a lion’s share if they needed dormitories.
Han Ya nodded, “Okay, but I want to ask you privately about someone.”
Liu Yikun immediately understood and promised, “Don’t worry, if I know, I will definitely tell you. Even if I don’t know, I won’t remember who you asked about later.”
Seeing that Liu Yikun was trustworthy, Han Ya said, “I have a friend in the X Military Region, his surname is Bai, Bai Yang.”
Liu Yikun was stunned.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not hesitate to tell Han Ya if they knew him, after all, this was similar to a trade – he provides information, they provide medicine. But…
“Don’t worry, we just want to confirm his safety. If it’s not convenient, we can write a letter and ask you to deliver it. He will contact us naturally after seeing it,” Han Ya understood Liu Yikun’s thoughts at a glance.
Liu Yikun hesitated for a moment and asked, “How do you know Bai…Bai Yang?”
Xiao Wang, who was guarding outside, had said that they came from City A and hadn’t heard of Boss Bai having any friends from City A.
“His daughter’s name is Bai Yun,” Han Ya said Bai Yun’s name only when he saw that Liu Yikun was only wary and trusted him. At least his performance proved that he was protecting Bai Yun’s father.
“Do you know Bai Yun? Boss Bai has been worried about her!” Liu Yikun couldn’t help but blurt out. “Is Bai Yun still okay now? Why didn’t she come with you? Did something happen? Boss Bai only has one daughter!”
Han Ya was speechless. Were all soldiers this naive? He had only just started probing and this guy had already spilled all the beans?! If he had to face these soldiers every day, he might as well cut his throat!
Seeing Han Ya speechless, Liu Yikun finally realized his mistake and wanted to slap himself.
“Come over here, Bai Yun,” Han Ya ignored him and called out to Bai Yun in a loud voice.
Liu Yikun saw Bai Yun, although he had never seen Boss Bai’s daughter in person, they had seen the photos that Boss Bai frequently showed them since the outbreak. He didn’t pay attention earlier, but when Bai Yun walked over, Liu Yikun looked carefully and could tell that she was the ten-year-old girl in the photo.
Bai Yun walked over, not understanding what was happening. She vaguely felt that it might be related to her father, but before she could confirm it, the silly officer who had been staring at her rushed out like a gust of wind.
“Brother Han, what’s going on?” Bai Yun was dumbfounded.
“He’s your father’s subordinate, probably gone to inform your father,” Han Ya shrugged.
When the guess became a reality, and her father was still alive and well, Bai Yun bit her lip to keep from crying.
Han Yifeng had been watching Bai Yun walk over the whole time, and coupled with Han Ya not lowering his voice, he naturally knew that she had found her father so quickly. He took a few steps forward and hugged Bai Yun’s shoulder.
“So fast?” Wen Le was happy for Bai Yun, but also surprised that things had gone so smoothly. If they hadn’t stayed for the New Year, could they have turned around and left already?
The two young men who had been registering them didn’t quite understand what was going on and continued to register them in an orderly manner.
“That’s enough, everything’s been registered. Let the girl come over. She’s the only one left.”
Han Yifeng walked with Bai Yun to the desk.
“Name.”
“Bai Yun”
The young man who was questioning her was taken aback, and together with the young man who was recording, they stared at Bai Yun. Just as Han Yifeng was itching to slap these two women who were staring at him like he was a hooligan, the young man who had been called Blackie continued the questioning.
“Place of origin.”
“B city.”
…
“Age?”
“19.”
…
“School?”
“Q University.”
…
“Major?”
“Meteorology.”
…
“Your father…” Blackie asked tremblingly.
“Her father is me!” A rough voice rang out at the door.
Everyone looked at the man walking in from the doorway. Compared to the panting Liu Yikun, the man who came in breathed lightly, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He was sweating even in the freezing cold winter, showing how anxious he was.
“Dad!” Bai Yun rushed into the man’s arms.
It should have been a touching scene, but everyone present, including the three soldiers of the Bai Yang and the calmest Xiao Wen, couldn’t be moved.
Everyone wanted to cry out: D*mn! How could such a rough and powerful man give birth to such a delicate daughter?! Is she not his biological child?!
Liu Yikun patted the nearby Zhou Quan with understanding.
“Calm down! We all had doubts back then, but once you see Sister-in-law Bai, you’ll know that Bai Yun looks exactly like a beautiful woman from the south. She didn’t inherit anything from Boss Bai.”
Of course, if Bai Yun had inherited her father’s appearance… Ugh, just thinking about a female version of Bai Yang made everyone shudder deeply.
“Um, I wanted to ask, what kind of personality does Bai Yun’s mother have?” Qi Rui and Zhao Ziyan leaned in next to Liu Yikun and asked weakly.
Wen Le chuckled. After so many days, they had naturally witnessed Bai Yun’s bold personality, but he didn’t expect Qi Rui and Zhao Ziyan, the two jokers, to ask directly. It showed how persistent they were about Bai Yun’s character.
Liu Yikun was a bit puzzled, but still told them, “Sister-in-law Bai is a typical southern beauty, with a very gentle personality.”
…
“Well, Bai Yun didn’t completely inherit her father’s traits. Just based on Uncle Bai’s first words when he came in, I swear that if Bai Yun didn’t inherit her father’s personality, I would immediately cut myself and feed the zombies!” Qi Rui gritted his teeth.
Liu Yikun’s mouth twitched.
“Boss Bai has always told us that Bai Yun looks like him… Ahem, we’ve already overlooked that. Her personality was inherited from her mother, very gentle and well-behaved.”
Qi Rui and Zhao Ziyan clenched their fists. If it weren’t for Bai Yang’s intimidating physique, they would have wanted to spew out two words to this shameless uncle: shameless!!
D*mn it! He’s lying through his teeth!
Thanks for the update!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the chapter!
