358: Go ahead, young man

The door to 101 opened.

Seeing the cardboard box in Jiang Fei's arms, Old Mrs. Xu exclaimed.

"You child, you've come, but why bring more things?"

"I went out today to exchange for supplies and got a lot of dried nuts and fruits.

We can't finish them all, so I brought half to you, Grandma."

Jiang Fei said as she walked in, placing the cardboard box on the dining table in the living room: "Is Captain Xu not home?"

"Lao Ning sent someone to call him away tonight, I don't know what he went to do."

Old Mrs. Xu pulled Jiang Fei to sit on the sofa, holding her hand: "Qian Yao told me about the mission to transport supplies."

"Lao Ning told him that you agreed to participate in this mission."

"Although I am not your biological grandma, I don't want you to take risks."

"But I also understand the responsibility you carry.

Grandma only has one thing to tell you: protect yourself."

"Our reunion was not easy."

"I remember, Grandma."

Jiang Fei, mimicking Xiao Chuxia's way of acting spoiled with her, leaned her head on Old Mrs. Xu's shoulder, feeling the warmth from her family at that moment.

After chatting with Old Mrs. Xu for a while, Jiang Fei went home and brought Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan into the Supermarket.

Taking advantage of the free time, the three planted new crops in the rice paddies, wheat fields, plantations, and orchards.

Jiang Fei went to the mutant animal breeding area to check the cow's health.

Big White still had four or five months until she could give birth.

After adding Big White's nutritious meal to the trough in the cowshed, Jiang Fei released Big Black, as well as Big Moon and Little Moon from the sheepfold, and Old One and Old Three from the chicken and goose pens, letting the young ones out for some fresh air.

Lu Yu also released Little Black and Big Yellow from the pet room.

Then, he, Jiang Fei, and Su Liuyuan went to sit in the garden pavilion.

"Woof woof woof!"

Little Black, who was originally rolling on the ground, suddenly got up and ran towards the ram that wanted to go into the wheat field, barking and chasing it back into the flock.

No one would be allowed to destroy the fierce woman's hard work!

Su Liuyuan watched with great interest: "I didn't expect Little Black to have a talent for being a sheepdog."

Jiang Fei teased Big Yellow, who was lying in her arms: "Aren't you going to help Little Black?"

"Be a sheep cat."

Big Yellow lazily rolled over, exposing her belly.

She wasn't going to do that.

Running around was exhausting; only a stupid dog would like that.

At this moment, Lu Yu raised his hand and rubbed Big Yellow's soft belly:

"Big Yellow has been on a diet for more than half a year, how come she hasn't lost any weight?"

"She doesn't exercise either, maybe we should reduce her food a bit more recently."

Big Yellow: "?!"

Master, are you a devil?!

Afraid that Lu Yu might actually do it, Big Yellow quickly jumped out of Jiang Fei's arms and went to chase animals with Little Black.

Fearing that Lu Yu wouldn't see her exercising, Big Yellow spread her thick legs and ran hard.

Unbeknownst to her, Lu Yu in the pavilion put his arm around Jiang Fei's shoulder and chuckled softly:

"Look, she's gone to be a sheep cat."

Jiang Fei: "..."

Lu Yu still had more tricks up his sleeve.

Across from them, Su Liuyuan cracked sunflower seeds, his lips uncontrollably curving upwards.

It was so satisfying to watch a couple up close!

It was a pity that Zhao Rui had to work tomorrow and couldn't come.

He would enjoy it for his brother a bit longer!

—

Time flew by, and it was noon a week later.

Xu Qianyao came to 102 to find Jiang Fei.

"The Chairman and Director Ning asked me to pick you up."

"If Lu Yu and Liu Yuan are participating in the Rebirth Project, they also have to go."

"Then I'll go call Liu Yuan."

Lu Yu went upstairs to call him down.

The three took Xu Qianyao's car to the Administration Bureau in the Central District.

As Jiang Fei walked into the office, she saw two men standing by the table.

The taller man was in his twenties, burly, with a shiny bald head, wearing only an old man's vest and shorts, his exposed large muscles making him look formidable.

However, his appearance was very honest, and upon noticing someone enter, he immediately grinned.

His dark red skin made his teeth appear exceptionally white and bright.

The shorter man next to him was also in his early twenties, with a buzz cut, delicate features, a stern expression, and an air of arrogance between his brows.

The Leader and Director Ning stood on the inner side of the table.

Seeing Jiang Fei and the others approach, Director Ning introduced them.

"Little Jiang, this is Yan Tianjie, the Leader of the military's Night Eagle Sniper Team, and also the youngest marksman."

"The one smiling at you is Zhu Xiaowu, the captain of Rescue Team Three, who used to work at the Research Institute."

"Not only is he skilled, but he also understands medicine."

"Qian Yao, I won't introduce him much to you; you know his capabilities."

"These three are the team members that the Chairman and I have arranged for you."

Director Ning then introduced Yan Tianjie and Zhu Xiaowu:

"Tian Jie, Xiao Wu, she is your Captain, Jiang Fei."

"That's Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan, also members of the same team."

"Hello, Captain!"

Zhu Xiaowu smiled good-naturedly.

Yan Tianjie merely nodded at Jiang Fei and the other two as a greeting.

The Leader: "For this mission, your team is responsible for installing locators in logistics warehouses in various places, providing accurate locations and information to the team transporting supplies."

"Before installing the locators, Jiang Fei, you need to enter the logistics warehouse alone to check if the supplies inside are intact."

"If there are no problems, then you can notify Tian Jie and the others to install the locators, to avoid the Comrades responsible for transport making a wasted trip."

The so-called inspection was merely an excuse for Jiang Fei, allowing her to secretly put the supplies into her warehouse.

Jiang Fei knew this well and nodded in agreement.

The Leader looked at everyone: "The Rebirth Project carries the hope of the entire Huaxia Base.

Yan Tianjie, Zhu Xiaowu, Xu Qianyao, Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, you must resolutely obey Jiang Fei's orders."

"You must ensure her safe return."

"Because she holds the only key to the logistics warehouses."

Unable to disclose the matter of the space, the Leader used the key as a cover.

The five, Lu Yu, and the others, saluted in unison, saying in one voice:

"Yes, Chairman!"

"Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, you will gather at the entrance of the Administration Bureau, ready to depart.

You don't need to bring luggage; we will prepare everything for you."

"Everyone go back and rest."

The Leader called out to Jiang Fei:

"You stay."

After Xu Qianyao and the others left the office, Director Ning also went out.

Only the Leader and Jiang Fei remained in the office.

The Leader took out a small redwood box from the inner pocket of his jacket.

Inside was a key shaped like a twisted rope.

"This is the key that can open the doors of all logistics warehouses."

"There is only one.

Yatou, you must keep it safe."

"The digital password for the logistics warehouses is 19491001."

"A day that no Huaxia person will ever forget."

Jiang Fei solemnly took the redwood box with both hands and put it into the Supermarket warehouse: "I will absolutely bring the supplies back safely."

"Not just the supplies, the Rebirth Project team must also return safely."

The Leader lightly patted her shoulder:

"Go on, young people."

Jiang Fei walked out of the office.

Yan Tianjie and Zhu Xiaowu had already left.

Director Ning, Xu Qianyao, Lu Yu, and Su Liuyuan were waiting for her at the stairwell.

"Director Ning, would you like to have dinner together tonight?"

Director Ning declined Jiang Fei's invitation: "I need to prepare the things you'll need for tomorrow, so I don't have time."

"When you return, I'll treat you."

Understanding that this was a promise, Jiang Fei smiled and said: "Okay, then Director Ning, remember to cook a lot of food; we can all eat a lot."

Director Ning: "No problem, I guarantee I'll make sure each of you eats so much you'll have to lean on the wall to walk."

"Oh, and Director, you don't need to prepare supplies for my, Lu Yu's, and Liu Yuan's cars; I have them."

Every bit saved for the base was a good bit.

Bidding farewell to Director Ning, Jiang Fei and the other two took Xu Qianyao's car home.

They set dinner for eight o'clock at 102.

Jiang Fei didn't know when they would return from this mission, so she wanted to gather with everyone again before leaving.

Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan went to notify Wu Xiaowei, Crippled Wang, Jiang Zhengkang, and others, while Jiang Fei stayed home to prepare ingredients.

With many people, cooking was troublesome, so Jiang Fei chose to have hot pot.

She took out yam, lotus root slices, sweet potato noodles, Garland chrysanthemum, frozen beef, lamb, raw chicken, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other ingredients, as well as hot pot base and dipping sauces.

Jiang Fei began washing the ingredients.

In the afternoon, Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan returned and helped Jiang Fei with the preparations.

"Captain, 102 can't fit that many people, should we move all the tables downstairs and eat outside?"

"There's an open space behind the building that can fit five or six large tables."

"Okay, then I'll go set up the tables, and you guys arrange the ingredients on plates."

Jiang Fei arrived at the back of Building 2.

Confirming that no one was nearby and Grandma Xu wasn't at the window, she took out four large round tables, placed outdoor gas stoves, disposable bowls and chopsticks, and trash cans on them.

She then took out a truck nearby.

After filling it with various supplies, she went upstairs to put the ingredients and hot pot cookware into the Supermarket warehouse and brought them down to the tables.

At 19:30, Xu Qianyao helped Old Mrs. Xu downstairs.

Almost at the same time, Cao Xiuhong arrived, pushing Jiang Zhengkang in a wheelchair.

Behind them followed Jiang Xiaoshi, Yao Jin, Han Yang, Crippled Wang holding Wang Xingyun, Dao Rong, the Wu Brothers, and Mo Yanan.

You Chengyu had taken Mother You to accompany You Yuxi for surgery, so they couldn't come.

Ling Zhaorui had also left work early and returned.

Xiao Chuxia was still on her way.

Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan had told them about the mission when they notified them for dinner earlier that day.

So everyone brought something.

Some brought portable compressed biscuits, bread, and other food, while others brought firearms and ammunition for self-defense.

When Jiang Fei saw Jiang Xiaoshi's black bag wiggling, she asked curiously:

"Xiao Shi, what's in your bag?"
