#915 - Chapter 915 There must be hope!
Zhao Ling had recovered significantly by noon and joined in the preparations and work arrangements for tonight's New Year's Eve. With her enhanced body, her recovery ability was naturally not weak.
One by one, delicacies, boxes of fine wine, and barrels of fragrant rice and noodles were continuously produced from the headquarters' kitchen.
Dumplings were naturally indispensable, with portions for personnel of all levels.
As for other dishes, their distribution was limited according to personnel等级.
If you want better treatment, then work hard and strive to improve your level to enjoy higher benefits in the future.
Today, the base is shut down for a day. Everyone is staying in their respective residences cleaning and rehearsing the programs to be performed tonight.
Let it be simple, let it be rustic.
As long as everyone can be happy, can sit together and chat and eat in this cold and desperate era, abandoning the threat of zombies and natural disasters outside, they are willing to accept this new era of entertainment.
Time came to nightfall.
A large building newly built this year in the headquarters sub-base was temporarily cleared out as a grand hall.
After the temperature was raised by heating equipment, the temperature inside reached nearly twenty degrees, making people feel comfortable.
This grand hall was filled with twelve tables of banquets!
Mainly for some of the base's meritorious people and high-level personnel to celebrate the New Year and eat.
Other headquarters personnel also had their own different places arranged for seating.
At this time, many cadres had already taken their seats.
All preparations were basically completed, waiting for the final announcement of the start of the banquet by the base leader, Chief Qin.
"Worker Xu, long time no see! What high-tech stuff have you been busy with recently? You're even more handsome, with a radiant face. Have you found a girlfriend? If not, I'll have my girlfriend introduce you to one!"
In the hall, Zhong Yu, holding his girlfriend Zhang Yunya's hand, was looking for his seat when he greeted someone passing by.
The latter exchanged a few words with him before continuing to walk inside.
"Zizhou, you're here! Call her 'Sister-in-law'! This is my girlfriend Zhang Yunya, who I told you about before! Work hard in the base in the future and don't worry about not being able to marry a wife!"
Continuing to walk, Zhong Yu's eyes lit up as he greeted a somewhat shy young man at one of the tables.
This was naturally his cousin, Xia Zizhou.
"Hello, Sister-in-law!"
"Brother, stop making fun of me. I'm still learning from Teacher Yuan in the planting department. I'll talk about love after I've contributed to the base."
Xia Zizhou, a former college student, politely declined his cousin's suggestion. He was not yet old and it was time to study hard.
Yuan Mu, this big shot of the base, gave him a rare opportunity because of Zhong Yu's sake, and he naturally had to seize it.
Zhong Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Zizhou, the relative he met during the drought, did not disappoint him.
"Senior Brother Wu, I heard that your research is about to have new progress. You must let me study when you have the opportunity."
After seeing his cousin and sister-in-law walk away, Xia Zizhou chatted with a man beside him.
"Okay, as long as there are no confidentiality issues, you can come and see."
This man, who didn't say much, was also an important member of the planting department, Wu Qinuo.
Their table was the location for planting department related personnel.
Today, this hall was only accessible to people who were very important to the base, or who were related to senior personnel.
"Old Xia, you're sitting here! Zimiao, quickly call him 'Uncle'! I'll bring you back something fun the next time I go on a mission."
Zhong Yu walked to another table and greeted the people at the table.
Xia Yan, Zhang Tiankai, Chen Junchi, Liu Wenhao, Wang Yang, Li Xu, Yuan Mu, Dong Hui, Wang Bin, Qin's father and mother, etc., people familiar or unfamiliar within the base were greeted by him one by one.
He didn't stop moving until he found his place and sat down contentedly.
"Old Zhong, you're deliberately showing off your girlfriend! Tsk tsk tsk."
Liu Wenhao, who was at the same table as him, couldn't help but tease, with an expression of having seen through Zhong Yu's trick.
The latter did not deny it.
Zhang Yunya, whom Zhong Yu had met by chance in the Yangcheng base and brought back, was dressed extremely beautifully today. She had already established a relationship with him some time ago and became a partner living together.
It was just rare for everyone to sit together like today, which made him unable to resist holding Zhang Yunya's hand and showing off.
"Stop dragging me around~~~ It's so embarrassing~~~"
Zhang Yunya pinched Zhong Yu's thigh hard under the table, a few blushes flashed across her face, feeling slightly embarrassed for her previous behavior.
Her skin was relatively thin, unlike Old Zhong's thick skin.
Zhong Yu, who had been strengthened several times by D-serum, was naturally not afraid of mere "attacks". He "popped" Zhang Yunya in front of everyone and continued to chat with his companions with a smile.
Zhang Yunya was greatly embarrassed, but did not resist too much.
She was able to join Green Source, whether Zhong Yu took a fancy to her person or because of their previous relationship, she was considered to be climbing high at this time. After Zhong Yu's sincere treatment during this period, she had long been captured by this Green Source captain.
Admiration for the strong is human nature, and Zhong Yu definitely deserves the title of strong.
"Shhh!! Chief Qin is coming! Everyone be quiet!"
During the idle waiting, someone saw the door open and the person walking in, and quickly informed the people around him.
Qin Jin arrived.
He took Zhao Ling's hand and walked straight to the table under the auditorium stage.
Sitting there were the people with the highest status in Green Source.
Uncle Qin Guoqiang, father Qin Guosheng, mother Zhang Li, Wang Yang, Li Xu, Yuan Mu, Zhou Qihang, Dong Hui, Wang Bin, the four captains, etc.
Zhao Ling took her seat first, but Qin Jin walked to the podium in the middle where the microphone had been placed.
The original chatting sounds in the hall quickly diminished and became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this Green Source controller.
There was live broadcast equipment in the hall, which was recording the scene on the stage in real time and transmitting it to other places with projectors or large screens for Green Source personnel of all levels to watch.
The leader is going to speak!
Not only in this hall, but also the personnel waiting for the banquet in other places in Green Source headquarters, and the personnel who were originally chatting in the large and small residential areas outside, everyone quieted down to carefully see what the Green Source base looked like!
The vast majority of people were seeing Chief Qin, the leader of the Green Source base, for the first time!
Before they could exclaim, they were suppressed back into their mouths by Qin Jin's opening speech.
"Can everyone hear me?"
"This is the first time I've played with this live broadcast equipment. This thing that was temporarily prepared these few days hasn't been tested too much. If someone can't hear it, it's none of my business. Please go to the equipment department for trouble~~~"
Hahaha.
The somewhat serious atmosphere in the hall was immediately broken, and many well-intentioned laughter sounded.
Li Xu, the head of the research and development department, scratched his head embarrassedly, because this set of live broadcast equipment was their department's responsibility.
The live broadcast equipment transmitted the images and sounds in real time to all areas controlled by Green Source!
In the cold night sky.
Throughout Guangnan Province, countless buildings directly or indirectly controlled by Green Source were filled with astonishment!
Is this the leader of Green Source!?
It doesn't seem as brutal and cold-blooded as the rumors say!
And the voice sounds very young!
It is such a man who controls the lifeline of countless survivors in Guangnan Province!
A kind of guidance in the dark, at this moment, many places in Guangnan Province with lights on are listening to the voice from the leader of the Green Source base in Mentang Town, Guangyuan City.
"Originally, according to my style, I would directly start the banquet and let everyone eat a delicious New Year's Eve dinner, without doing so many fancy things."
"But today there are some things I want to take this opportunity to say to everyone, so I will take up a little of your time!"
"Very simple."
"At the end of last year, when the apocalypse had just descended, someone asked me if there was still hope in this world? Is there still hope for mankind? Is there still hope for the future? At that time, I was not able to answer her positively!"
"But now I want to tell her, and tell everyone present who can hear my voice!"
"There will definitely be hope in the future!"
