203: Chapter 203 Zhou Heng sets the rules, Han Xue asks about the admission ticket at night.
george patton returned to Cloud Top Palace, and a group of people was blocking the gate of the inner circle.
In the snow, over a dozen survivors who had fled from Zhe City were holding up gray badges, their voices getting louder one after another.
"Why are we only allowed to have gray badges?"
"We fled from Zhe City, do you know how many people died on the way! Doesn't that count as a contribution?"
"Upgrading to a white badge requires thirty contribution points, kill zombies? How would we know how to do that?"
The car stopped.
Captain Han Xue stepped on the brake.
Just as she was about to open the door, someone outside had already made a move.
Zhou Heng led the patrol team over.
He wasn't wearing his old military uniform, but the black combat uniform issued by Tiangong No. 1, with the patrol team armband tied to his sleeve.
When that group saw him, their voices became even louder.
"Captain Zhou! You are also from Zhe City!"
"You must speak up for us and be fair!"
"We are fellow countrymen!"
Zhou Heng stopped in front of the person at the very front.
"Name."
That person was stunned.
"What?"
Zhou Heng looked at the registrar beside him.
The registrar immediately flipped through the register.
"Luo Guoping."
"Refugee from the Zhe City border, arrived at the camp two days ago."
"Received six servings of hot porridge, two packs of compressed biscuits, and one old cotton coat."
Zhou Heng nodded.
"Contribution?"
The registrar lowered his head.
"Zero."
Luo Guoping's face turned red.
"I just arrived! How would I have a chance to contribute?"
Zhou Heng raised his hand.
Two members of the patrol team stepped forward and pinned him down.
Luo Guoping panicked.
"What are you doing? I'm just making a suggestion!"
Zhou Heng's voice was very flat.
"Cloud Top Palace allows suggestions."
He looked at Luo Guoping.
"But it does not allow blocking the gate, inciting others, or obstructing vehicle traffic."
Luo Guoping struggled.
"I am from Zhe City! You can't treat me like this!"
Zhou Heng lifted his foot and kicked him in the back of the knee.
Luo Guoping knelt into the snow.
Zhou Heng squatted down and grabbed his gray badge.
"I am also from Zhe City."
"Click."
The gray badge was ripped off by him forcefully.
"So I am even clearer, without Mr. Lin, you wouldn't even have the chance to kneel here and argue."
The surroundings went quiet.
Those who had just been shouting about being fellow countrymen all shut their mouths.
Zhou Heng threw the gray badge to the registrar.
"Deduct five contribution points."
The registrar whispered a reminder.
"Captain Zhou, he is currently at zero."
Zhou Heng didn't even look.
"Then make it negative five."
Someone in the crowd gasped.
Contribution points can be negative?
Zhou Heng stood up.
"Those with negative contributions must pay their debts before eating."
Luo Guoping's expression changed.
"Why aren't you giving us food!"
Zhou Heng drew his gun.
The muzzle was pressed against his forehead.
"Because you are still alive."
No one argued anymore.
Several people who had originally wanted to stir up trouble silently tucked their gray badges back into their clothes.
Qin Yumo leaned in the passenger seat and glanced outside.
"He is more suitable for the current position than you are."
Captain Han Xue gripped the steering wheel without refuting.
george patton drove into Tiangong No. 1.
The car door opened.
Lin Yuan stepped out, holding the hand of the just-awakened Zhou Niannian.
The little girl rubbed her eyes, her hair a bit messy from sleep.
Su Xiaonuan was already waiting at the entrance with her people.
Wearing a black butler uniform and white gloves, with Zhao Ya and Xia Qingqiu behind her.
She walked up quickly.
"Mr. Lin."
Lin Yuan handed Zhou Niannian to Xia Qingqiu.
Zhou Niannian mumbled, "Teacher Xia."
Xia Qingqiu tucked her coat in for her.
Su Xiaonuan continued her report.
"The takeover list for Nanjiang Water Plant has been sent to Lu Yan."
"Tank and Sister Long have taken teams out to get some air."
"The thirty awakening serum doses promised by the capital have entered the flight path."
"They are expected to be air-dropped to the north side of Cloud Top Palace at ten tonight."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Qin Yumo walked to Su Xiaonuan's side and briefly reported the battle process.
"Five members of the ninja squad."
"Zhou Niannian's Silence Domain is effective and can suppress ninjutsu."
She paused and looked at Captain Han Xue.
"Captain Han Xue was crucial to our success this time."
Captain Han Xue looked up.
Su Xiaonuan finally looked at her.
As if looking at a report that had just been submitted.
"Record a merit."
Su Xiaonuan said to Zhao Ya, "Award one thousand contribution points."
Zhao Ya immediately operated the tablet.
"Captain Han, congratulations."
In the outer circle, this was a huge sum.
One gray crystal core could be exchanged for one contribution point.
One contribution point could be exchanged for a pack of compressed biscuits.
Ten points could be exchanged for a hot pot meal or a well-maintained knife.
One hundred points were enough for an ordinary laborer to risk their life for a month.
Yet Captain Han Xue felt the contribution points were very light.
She lived in Tiangong No. 1.
Yet she was still using currency to exchange for things.
Whatever Su Xiaonuan wanted, she just requisitioned it from the warehouse.
If Qin Yumo wanted a weapon, she just asked.
Even when Tang Qiqi said "I want something sweet," the kitchen could dig out chocolate from before the apocalypse.
Only her.
Was still being awarded contribution points.
Like an employee with good performance.
After dinner.
The living room lights were on.
Su Muxue stood in front of Lin Yuan with a report.
"There is residual resonance between Absolute Zero and your Mirror Doppelganger."
"If we continue testing, we might be able to extend the duration of the doppelganger."
Lin Yuan raised his eyes.
"Come to the master bedroom tonight."
Su Muxue pushed up her glasses.
The tips of her ears were a little red.
"I am doing this for the experiment."
Tang Qiqi, who was lying on the sofa, immediately raised her hand.
"I can testify, Dr. Su never engages in personal feelings, it's all for the sake of scientific research."
Su Muxue glanced at her.
Tang Qiqi immediately shut her mouth and turned to hug her small cake.
The cake was given by Lin Yuan.
The reason was very simple.
The clothes Tang Qiqi designed were quite good-looking.
"Qiqi."
Lin Yuan spoke.
Tang Qiqi looked up.
"The serum arrives tomorrow night, the Zombie Girl commando unit needs to expand."
"I need a plan for the new combat uniforms tonight."
Tang Qiqi hugged her cake, instantly fully energized.
"Received! I guarantee to make the Zombie Girls both tough and beautiful!"
Liu Qing's voice drifted out from the broadcast.
"Please pay attention to your wording."
Tang Qiqi hummed.
"Mechanical girls have no right to speak on aesthetics."
A few low chuckles echoed in the living room.
Captain Han Xue stood at the door, watching all of this.
She felt that the contribution points in her hand were blinding.
Not because there were few.
But because it reminded her that she was still outside the door.
Captain Han Xue returned to her room.
Lay down.
Closed her eyes.
Opened her eyes.
Closed them again.
Her mind was full of Lin Yuan's back as he got off the car.
And that sentence from Qin Yumo.
What is the entry ticket?
Late at night.
The training room lights were still on.
Qin Yumo was practicing with her blades.
Two straight blades sliced through the air, the sound clean.
Captain Han Xue stood at the door.
Qin Yumo stopped.
"Something up?"
Captain Han Xue walked in.
She was wearing her combat uniform, the rabbit tail fixed behind her.
That thing used to make her feel ashamed.
Now it felt like a key.
She gritted her teeth.
"How... can I gain stronger power?"
The training room was quiet for two seconds.
Qin Yumo didn't laugh.
She put the blade back on the rack and took a towel to wipe off sweat.
"You were quite dashing today."
Captain Han Xue was stunned.
Qin Yumo said, "You reminded me of myself when I was a soldier."
She walked in front of Captain Han Xue.
"But asking me is useless."
"I only know how to kill."
Captain Han Xue said in a low voice, "Then who should I ask?"
Qin Yumo thought for a moment.
"If you want to understand a man's heart, go ask the master of lip service."
Captain Han Xue frowned.
"Who?"
Qin Yumo raised her hand and pointed underground.
"B3, Tang Qiqi."
"She might not be able to fight."
"But she knows best how to get herself into the master's eyes."
Ten minutes later.
Level B3.
As soon as the door opened, Captain Han Xue saw a room full of fabrics, leather, metal buckles, and bulletproof fibers.
A dozen semi-finished combat suits hung on the wall.
Some were for the Zombie Girl commando unit.
Others were clearly not suitable for the battlefield.
Tang Qiqi sat in front of the sewing machine, a lollipop in her mouth.
Seeing Qin Yumo and Captain Han Xue, her eyes lit up.
"Yo."
"The Valkyrie brought the police officer to my door."
"Are we going to unlock a hidden plot?"
Tang Qiqi put down the needle and thread and circled around Captain Han Xue.
Captain Han Xue felt her shoulders and back tense up from being watched.
Tang Qiqi suddenly spoke.
"Sister Han Xue, you want to get into the Great Demon King's bed."
Captain Han Xue's expression changed.
"I'm not—"
Tang Qiqi raised her hand.
"Don't rush."
Tang Qiqi sat back in her chair and swung her legs.
"But since you've come to ask me so sincerely."
"Then I will show mercy and tell you."
Tang Qiqi held up a finger.
"I have a shortcut."
"It can get you an experience ticket tonight."
Captain Han Xue's voice was hoarse.
"What?"
Tang Qiqi pointed at the rabbit tail behind her.
"Go wearing the tail."
Captain Han Xue was stunned.
"I'm wearing it right now."
Tang Qiqi shook her finger.
"No, no, no."
"What I mean is—"
"Go wearing *only* the tail."
