#506 - Chapter 506: The Girl from Green Source
Slurp!
Slurp!
On the second floor of the driving school, the sound of slurping noodles rose and fell.
The members of the Green Source combat unit were all hungry.
Moreover.
Damn!
Tonight's dinner was so damn delicious!
Not to mention the external collaborators from the branch base, even the core members of the main base hadn't had such well-made food in a long time.
This northern-style cuisine was something most people would enjoy.
After driving all day, the tired combat unit members didn't stand on ceremony, piously consuming the delicious meal.
Everyone had always known that the leader of the base was extremely generous to the combat unit, especially during each external mission, the food was guaranteed not to disappoint.
Today's meal proved that the rumors were true.
Many of the external collaborators were participating in this kind of external mission for the first time, and it was their first time witnessing the generosity of the base leader.
"So delicious~~~!"
Among the people eating noodles, a young girl let out a satisfied sigh.
She was none other than Lin Jiafu, the survivor who survived the Tian Hong Group incident!
Without knowing when, she had actually joined the branch base's external collaboration combat unit!
More than a month ago, after the Tian Hong incident, she did ask Zhao Ling to join the external collaboration combat unit, and somehow she really got in!
Don't be fooled by her short stature, she was actually 15 years old...
The base wouldn't reject someone just because they were too young, as long as they had good physical and mental qualities, and most importantly, enough discipline, there was indeed a chance to join.
In addition to Zhao Ling's recommendation, Jiafu finally met the standards after nearly a month of training and became a branch base external collaborator!
She even caught up with the upcoming mission to Xiang Province.
In the post-apocalyptic world, no one cared whether you were an adult or not, as long as you were able-bodied, you could work.
"嗝."
After finishing a whole bowl of noodles in a few bites, Jiafu let out a comfortable burp.
Feeling the warmth and satisfaction in her stomach, she wished this state could last forever.
Although that was impossible.
Even after joining the external collaboration unit, she couldn't eat her fill every meal. After training and doing some work within her capabilities at the branch base, she could only eat about 50-70% full.
Even that was extremely good.
At this time, the air conditioner that they brought was on in the second floor, the relatively comfortable temperature in the room allowed everyone to completely relax. After running around all day, their bodies had long been shaken to pieces by the car.
The road conditions in the post-apocalyptic world were truly touching.
Their journey during the day couldn't be called smooth. Perhaps because there weren't many survivors traveling across provinces before, and their vehicles were relatively large, they encountered many obstacles blocking their way.
The convoy often had to stop to clear them before restarting, coupled with the bumpy roads and the scorching sun outside, the journey was truly tormenting.
"Everyone, hurry up and rest after you're full. Group One is on night duty, and Group Two will take over at 10 o'clock."
Zhong Yu had just finished eating as well. He put down his chopsticks and told everyone to rest.
Most of the members nodded in response, without saying much, each found a place in the large room to lie down and rest with their clothes on.
There were more than forty people on this mission. Except for some members on night duty, the others were basically resting here with the air conditioning on.
They had brought a dedicated battery pack, coupled with the abundant solar energy during the day, two air conditioners could last the whole night without any problem.
In addition, there was also an airship sent by Qin Jin to deal with emergencies, which could provide support at any time.
Jiafu silently walked to a corner of the room, curled up and sat down to rest.
In fact, women were relatively few in the entire Green Source, accounting for only 1/3-1/4 of the total number of people.
This included the main base.
There was no way around it.
In terms of survival, women were indeed too weak.
There were even fewer who could survive and come to the Green Source area, have the professional skills needed by the base, and pass the assessment to join the external collaboration unit.
There were only five or six female personnel on this external mission today.
"Hey girl, what's your name? I don't think I've seen you before. Aren't you afraid to join a place like this at such a young age?"
Jiafu, who was sitting and resting, waiting for the food in her stomach to digest, suddenly heard a question beside her ear.
She turned her head and saw a good-looking woman bending over and staring at her. Without a doubt, she was the one who asked the question.
Looking at the Green Source badge full of leaves on her arm, Jiafu knew that this was a core member of the base.
She replied in a slightly restrained voice:
"Hello sister, my name is Lin Jiafu, I just joined the external collaboration unit."
"I'm not afraid."
After answering, Jiafu stopped talking and fell silent.
Just as she said, compared to following her teammates on missions now, there were many things in this world that scared her even more.
For example, the death of loved ones.
"Lei Lei, don't you remember? This is the one we rescued from Tian Hong Group last time."
Zhou Xin whispered to remind Yao Lei beside her.
The latter suddenly realized.
"Oh oh oh! It's you! I didn't recognize you, you've changed so much!"
Yao Lei looked at Jiafu exaggeratedly, as if trying to see the previous shadow from her. The Tian Hong incident had spread throughout the base, and everyone knew that the base went to destroy Tian Hong to avenge a mother and daughter from outside the Green Source area.
But many people hadn't seen the person involved in person.
They had only heard that it was a woman and a teenage girl.
Yao Lei had naturally seen Jiafu before, but after this period of training, change of hairstyle, and the combat uniform and sunglasses she was wearing, she really didn't recognize her at first.
The last time she saw Jiafu was when she followed the captain to find her mother. At that time, Jiafu was covered in dirt, her face was dirty, and she was completely different from the clean and energetic girl who had even had her hair trimmed!
Apart from the similar height, there was no way to associate the two.
It was Zhou Xin who had carefully observed Jiafu's appearance before that she recognized her just now.
"Sister! Thank you, I recognize you! You were the ones who rescued my mother back then!"
Jiafu also reacted, and the two female members beside her were the two who performed the rescue after her mother was rescued!
Immediately, she excitedly thanked the two of them.
After departing in the morning, everyone got into their own cars, all wearing bulletproof vests, helmets, and sunglasses, it was really hard to tell who was who.
Before long, the three women chatted away.
They spoke in very low voices, so as not to disturb the other members. In the dim light of the room, they chatted so enthusiastically that they didn't feel sleepy for a while.
"Jiafu, why did you choose to join the external collaboration unit? This is not easy for girls, you have to go through many tests, and even if you join, you may encounter life-threatening situations at any time."
After becoming familiar with Jiafu, Yao Lei asked this question again.
The main reason was that Jiafu was too young.
Moreover, with her own qualifications as a Level 3 personnel, she could also engage in other easier jobs at the branch base. Although she still wouldn't be able to eat her fill, there would be no danger to her life.
