339: Huaxia Base

"Captain Xu? Sister Yin Jing?"

Jiang Fei looked at Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing in disbelief.

After more than a year apart, both of them had lost a lot of weight and were tanned.

They were wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, revealing muscular arms and legs.

Scattered scars of various sizes were visible on their skin.

Clearly, the days since they parted had not been easy.

But both of them were as spirited as ever.

Yin Jing rushed over and gave Jiang Fei a bear hug:

"Aren't you happy to see me and the Captain! Isn't this a surprise!"

Jiang Fei nodded heavily: "It's a huge surprise, please sit down quickly."

Su Liuyuan hurriedly poured water and got snacks for Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing.

Ling Zhaorui didn't even bother to shower, plopping down next to Xu Qianyao, eager to understand why they were there.

Seeing Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, Ling Zhaorui, and Xiao Chuxia Surround gathered around him and Yin Jing, Xu Qianyao was both helpless and amused:

"You all are making me feel like a monkey in a zoo."

Su Liuyuan: "Hehe, we're just excited to see you."

"Captain Xu, quickly tell us, how did you and Sister Yin Jing end up in Mos City?"

Xu Qianyao slowly recounted the story.

Only then did Jiang Fei and the others understand.

In the early days of the apocalypse, Huaxia used special materials to transform all urban logistics warehouses.

These warehouses stored books, seeds, medical equipment, precision machinery, building materials, and other products that could continue human civilization.

Logistics warehouses were chosen because they were large enough.

Not to mention fighter jets, even aircraft carriers could fit inside.

The special materials used for the logistics warehouses were not only earthquake-proof, explosion-proof, and waterproof, capable of withstanding various natural disasters, but also protected the supplies from spoilage and decay.

Even after ten or eight years, there would be no problems.

It was even more indestructible than the warehouse in Su Liuyuan's deserted mountain villa back then.

As for whether the base managers would embezzle the goods.

Not to mention that those people wouldn't do such a thing, the logistics warehouses used specially developed anti-theft locks.

Unlocking required a customized key and a digital password.

The digital password was set by the Leader, and only he knew it.

The key was in the hands of the research and development engineer.

To unlock it, both individuals were indispensable.

No one else could open the logistics warehouses except for them.

The country did this solely so that one day, when the apocalypse ended, various cities could recover as quickly as possible and rebuild human civilization.

Previously, this matter was kept confidential, only becoming public last year.

Because while the seawater had not yet completely receded, Huaxia's official and military forces had already selected sites to begin building new homes.

And they released news of the new homes and the logistics warehouses to the public.

Hoping that the survivors could come to Yang City to help transport supplies.

The news spread from person to person, reaching far and wide.

As a result, survivors from various bases traveled to Yang City, uniting to build a new home.

Huaxia enjoys the title of 'Infrastructure Maniac' worldwide and is also the most united country.

It took a full six months to finally build a land-sea integrated base in Yang City.

It was named Huaxia Base.

The officials were responsible for perfecting the base's construction, management, and so on.

The military personnel were divided into countless teams, responsible for searching for compatriots in various countries.

They had a home now, and they couldn't let their children wander outside anymore.

At Director Ning's recommendation, Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing joined the Huaxia Base's military Rescue Team.

They came this time to bring compatriots from Country F home.

Xu Qianyao said to Jiang Fei: "I saw Shao Ziyue at Huaxia Base."

"She knew I was leading a team to Country F and told me about you in Mos City, so I chose to come ashore here."

"Your reputation is quite big. I just casually asked someone in Mos City, and not only did they know you, but they also enthusiastically led me and Yin Jing the way."

"The Black Night Gang guards immediately let us in when they heard we were your friends."

"It was also a coincidence; we ran into Chu Xia just as we entered the Black Night Gang."

Xiao Chuxia said with a smile: "When I first saw you and Sister Yin Jing, I thought I was hallucinating."

"It's not a hallucination, we really came to find you."

Xu Qianyao asked the group: "Do you want to return to the country?"

Jiang Fei answered without hesitation: "Yes."

"I was planning to leave Mos City these days anyway, but I didn't expect you to come tonight."

"It's perfect, we can go back to the country together and take a look."

It was like someone brought a pillow just when she was dozing off.

Lu Yu and the others were also willing to return to the country.

Not just because wherever Jiang Fei was, they would be too.

More importantly, no matter how good a foreign country was, it wasn't as comfortable and safe as their own country.

Worried about her uncle's whereabouts, Jiang Fei asked:

"Captain Xu, Sister Yin Jing, have you seen my uncle and them at Huaxia Base?"

Xu Qianyao nodded: "Jiang Zhengkang, Cao Xiuhong, Jiang Xiaoshi, Niu Er, Yao Jin, and also Crippled Wang and Dao Rong, they are all at Huaxia Base."

"Now Jiang Zhengkang and the others live in the same community as my grandma."

"They told me that they survived entirely thanks to the life jackets, inflatable boats, and bags of supplies they found at sea."

"I don't know where these life-saving supplies came from, but they helped them endure."

"The strangest thing is that many survivors had the same experience as Jiang Zhengkang and his group."

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Fei's eyes.

The supplies she threw into the sea back then were not thrown in vain!

The next second, however, she heard Yin Jing say.

"Director Zheng and Base Leader Kang Ansheng are dead."

"One died saving others, and the other from overwork."

Everyone was stunned.

Ling Zhaorui's eyes instantly reddened, and he muttered: "I thought one day I would show my special hybrid sweet potato seedlings to my teacher and make him proud, how could this be..."

Yin Jing: "Old Kang's health wasn't good to begin with."

"After he cultivated the special potato seeds, he completely collapsed from exhaustion."

Jiang Fei also felt a pang of sadness.

Director Zheng had always managed the Safety Shelter with dedication.

Old Kang had made immense contributions to the Safety Shelter, and he was also her first teacher after the apocalypse.

Why couldn't the lives of bad people be exchanged for theirs?

At this moment, Xiao Chuxia spoke up, asking Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing:

"Have you seen my parents?"

"And Uncle Liu, Gu Yunshan from Changhai, Gray Rat, and the others."

"No, we haven't seen them."

Xu Qianyao comforted Xiao Chuxia:

"Perhaps your parents are somewhere else."

Yin Jing: "When we go back this time, we'll see many survivors who have wandered to other countries. Maybe your parents are in one of those teams."

Xiao Chuxia let out a dejected hum, able only to place her hopes on the group of survivors returning to the country.

Su Liuyuan: "Captain Xu, when are we leaving for home?"

"In three days. I need to compile a list of those willing to return to the country these two days."

Xu Qianyao finished speaking and then looked at Jiang Fei:

"Jiang Fei, can you take me to see the Leader of the Black Night Gang?"

"The Black Night Gang has the most Huaxia people, and if I ask the Leader for help, compiling the list will be faster."

Jiang Fei: "Yes, I happen to be going to deliver something to her."

Picking up the insulated box from the table, Jiang Fei took Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing to the commercial vehicle outside.

Placing the insulated box in the passenger seat, Jiang Fei started the car and drove towards Sister Lu's house.

Xu Qianyao looked at the barren land outside the window and asked curiously:

"The soil has returned to normal, why haven't you planted any plants?"
