#307 - Chapter 307 Final Meeting
Branch Base.
Standing not far from the entrance, Li Cai waited quietly.
However, her appearance seemed calm, but her heart was surging with excitement.
Wait a little longer.
She would be able to see Brother Li, A Zhen, Xiao Cong, and other companions who had fought side by side with her last year!
Brother Liu had already gone to call people, and while she was waiting here bored, she took the opportunity to observe this Green Source Base.
Not far in front of her, some people were repairing the walls.
They stood on high scaffolding, constantly passing various building materials, and seemed to be used to this kind of work.
In the distance, she could still see some figures occasionally entering and exiting some buildings, busy with something.
The only thing they had in common was that there was no trace of fear or worry on their faces.
Unlike the survivors outside, even if they stayed in their own homes, they could not guarantee enough security.
As time went by, many survivors began to know about the existence of mutated zombies.
Cement and steel buildings may not be able to defend against them.
At this time, on the wide and high walls of the branch base, several哨岗-like buildings for duty had been built, and several armed personnel were walking back and forth patrolling the walls.
In the more distant哨岗, some cold and gleaming weapons were also set up, which looked like they were not easy to mess with!
Full of security!
“The survivors living here are really enviable! No wonder Brother Liu said that people outside all want to come in.”
Li Cai sighed sincerely to herself.
Who could refuse such a safe place?
It was said that the survivors working here also had two meals provided, and could also get extra food subsidies every week, which was simply too enviable!
Just as Li Cai was looking around and sighing at everything in the branch base, a few people ran over from a distance!
“—A Cai! —Sister Cai!”
Several excited shouts broke her thoughts, and when she turned her eyes over there, her face finally couldn't help but fluctuate along with her mood!
It was them!!
Without hesitation, she strode towards them!
She opened her arms and hugged A Zhen, who was running at the front, tightly!
“Wuwuwu! Sister Cai! I miss you so much!”
A Zhen couldn't control herself, and tears fell on the spot with her cries.
Although Li Cai didn't shed tears, her red eyes betrayed her.
They finally met!!
Li Shenglin and other team members also watched all this with red eyes. It had been a full half a year, and they finally met again.
Thousands of words.
At this moment, they all turned into laughter and sobs, floating in this corner of the branch base.
For a long time.
After venting their longing, they could finally calm down a little and chat.
“Sister Cai, come back to Residence Area 1 with us tonight. Let's have a good chat at night. We have so many things we want to tell you!”
A Zhen wiped her tears with her hand and said happily, holding Li Cai's hand.
“Yeah! I also want to know how you have been doing since I left.”
A group of people gathered around at this time, greeting Li Cai enthusiastically.
“Hello, A Cai, do you still remember me? Look at me, am I different? I am now a strong man, Cong!”
Xiao Cong came over to say hello, and also struck a Mr. Universe pose, showing off his not-so-obvious muscles.
“Bah! Sister Cai, listen to me, Xiao Cong was unlucky some time ago! He even had diarrhea......”
“Hey hey hey!!! What are you talking about!? If you say that again, I'm not done with you!!”
Xiao Cong, who was still showing off his muscles, heard A Zhen trying to expose his past, how could he allow that?
He immediately ran over and pretended to pat A Zhen's head, but how could A Zhen let him succeed? She quickly ran away to avoid the clutches.
For a while, the two of them chased and fought noisily again.
The people on the field all watched this scene amusingly.
Especially Li Cai, looking at this familiar scene, her heart completely recalled it.
This was the feeling.
The people who fought side by side with everyone last year, shared weal and woe together, and worked hard to survive together.
The beautiful smile had not disappeared since they met.
This was the reason why she wanted to come back.
This group of people was too good.
“Okay, A Cai, let's ignore them. It's almost time for the branch base to get off work. Come back to Residence Area 1 with us later. Let's talk about what happened during this time!”
“We still have some stored grain there, which was obtained from working for the Green Source Base every week. It's enough for us to eat for a long time, so you don't have to worry about starving at all! It's really good here!”
Li Shenglin was excited in his heart, but said relatively calmly to the girl in front of him.
His eyes could no longer leave Li Cai after seeing her.
They met again!
It was so good!
“Yeah!”
Li Cai nodded heavily.
It was so good to be back with this team and meet them today.
******
Leader's Office.
Qin Jin had just approved some documents. Recently, the base had been relatively stable, and there were fewer things to do than before.
At this time, what he was holding in his hand was a Level 4 personnel assessment list for the branch base!
On it were listed several names, all of whom were Level 3 personnel who had performed outstandingly recently and had been nominated by base cadres.
Today, he officially asked Qin Jin to make the final confirmation.
“That's it! They will be the first batch of people to obtain Level 4 personnel qualifications! Notify everyone tomorrow so that everyone knows that as long as they work hard, they will be able to eat their fill sooner or later, and at the very least, they won't have the risk of starving to death!”
In front of Qin Jin's desk, Wang Yang and Tang Jinming stood by, responding in agreement.
This personnel grading system had been in place for almost two months, and it was finally producing the first batch of Level 4 personnel, which was extremely rare.
The reason why it was rare was naturally because it was necessary to create a sense of scarcity and mobilize the subjective initiative of these Level 3 personnel.
Otherwise, if you could advance by just slacking off, what value would there be?
“By the way, President Qin, two people on the list have expressed their willingness to exchange the opportunity to be promoted to Level 4 for their team companions to enter the branch base and become Level 3 personnel. Do you approve?”
Wang Yang stepped forward and pointed to the names of Li Shenglin and Liang Defa on the list and said.
“This team is quite interesting, they......”
Immediately, Wang Yang took the initiative to introduce some simple facts about Li Ge and his group to President Qin.
“Oh!?”
“There are such groups in the apocalypse? It's really rare!”
Qin Jin couldn't help but be slightly surprised after listening.
He had seen countless black-hearted survivors, but he had never heard of anyone who was willing to give up opportunities and send them to other companions.
You must know that they were not close family members, but strangers who were almost unknown half a year ago.
“Approved! These people are really rare. If the inspection is okay, you can give their companions the qualifications to enter the branch base.”
Qin Jin still welcomed this kind of survivor. This kind of person could often become a good partner who relied on each other.
Much better than those who betrayed their own people.
“Understood, President Qin, I will notify them tomorrow.”
“By the way.”
“Today, Team Leader Liu returned from transporting coal from Shantou City and brought back a person from the coal shelter. I heard that he used to be a companion of this Li Shenglin team. Today, we arranged for them to live in Residence Area 1.”
Wang Yang, who was about to leave, suddenly mentioned this sentence.
