Chapter 365 Something Happened as Soon as I Came Back
"Yena, it's really you. I thought I was seeing things." A soldier said excitedly.
"Come on, it's just what you saw in the sniper scope." Another soldier nudged with his elbow and laughed jokingly.
Ye Nai smiled stiffly and nodded, she really didn't know what to say. She didn't even notice that she was seen through the sniper scope. She was really careless. She could only remind herself secretly in her heart that no matter where she went in the future, she must always use spores to be alert to the surroundings, and not be lazy and careless just because this was a relatively familiar territory.
"Long time no see, long time no see, come and have a smoke."
Ye Na hurriedly took out two packs of new cigarettes and stuffed them into the hands of the two people in front of her. Before she could react, her arms were tightened, and then she was pulled out of the human wall by the enthusiastic soldiers and quickly stuffed into an off-road vehicle.
The car sped towards the military fort.
When she came to her senses, Ye Nai was already standing in front of the deputy leader He Zan.
Looking around and judging by the size of the room, it seemed to be the office of the former commander of the fort.
She had done some research here, so she had a rough idea of the room size and window orientation.
"Hahahaha, Xiaoye is back. I haven't seen you for more than a month. Look at you. You're all tanned. Come, sit down, have some water. You've worked hard on this trip."
He Zan laughed and walked over with his hand extended, and Ye Nai quickly shook hands with him.
"It's okay, I also gained a lot."
He Zan's eyes narrowed with laughter. For someone of his status, it was rare for him to be so happy.
"Relax, don't be tense. You're home now. No need to be nervous anymore."
Yenne moved her shoulders subconsciously, "Do I look nervous?"
"Very stiff, have you never looked in the mirror? Your face has changed, it was not like this when you first came here. Your face is most often seen on people who go on dangerous missions alone, the kind who are always in dangerous environments and cannot relax at all. Otherwise, we advocate teamwork, not only to have familiar people around to chat, but also to prevent people from going to extremes in a high-pressure environment for a long time. But it doesn't matter, Dai Kyoto is ready, the psychiatrist and psychologist are waiting for you."
Yenna rubbed her face.
"I just looked at the face in the mirror and it didn't look right, so I wanted to come back quickly to absorb some popularity and take a break."
"Hahahaha, there are so many people in Daijing waiting for you to go back, you can smoke as much as you want."
"Dai Jing doesn't know where I am, so why are you getting ready so early?"
"Of course not. I specifically told you that if you show up, I'll call a helicopter to take you to the Tongjiang Provincial Headquarters."
"That helicopter..."
"Well, we had already called while you were still in the car. We will be there in more than two hours. It's just in time for us to have lunch before leaving, and then have dinner after landing."
"No, He Tuan, you are too efficient."
"I have to. I have to ensure your safety. I get anxious if you stay here any longer. I can't wait for you to get on the plane and leave. I'll feel at ease when you leave. I'm getting anxious waiting for you here every day."
"No, no, no."
"Very much so." He Zan chuckled and lowered his voice, "We have captured all five bunkers. Great job. Really, our helicopter saw the national flag flying in the enemy bunkers from the sky, it was so exciting. And not just one, but five. Wow."
He Zan gave Ye Na two thumbs up.
"Originally, civilian awakeners who complete the border killing task and reach bronze level will receive a routine reward, a civilian guardian medal. You have done an outstanding job, and this medal is not enough. Dai Jing doesn't know how to reward you yet. Even if you want to retire now, your second half of life will be stable."
"Haha~" Ye Nai was happy to hear that there was a reward from Dai Jing. After returning and completing the mission, he would definitely reach the bronze level. He wondered how many points he could get with other spoils, and how far he was from the silver level.
Picking up the cup of water at hand and taking a sip, Ye Nai put the cup down and glanced at He Zan with a smile.
"He Tuan, you only got the military fort?"
"...Is there anything else?" He Zan straightened his back suddenly.
"Have you ever seen those natives chopping down trees with a chain saw that emits black smoke?"
"I have seen you. Do you have any clues about oil?" He Zan suddenly became alert. The shortage of mineral resources has been plaguing production at all levels.
"You have captured the military bunker, but have you not found the crude oil?"
He Zan took a breath of cold air.
Ye Na understood instantly.
"Aren't all five military forts in your hands?"
He Zan's mouth twitched. "How can we, Zhenlonggou, take all the five military forts? We don't even have enough manpower. Don't we want Zhenlonggou anymore?"
"Oh, then let's ask who took that bunker. It's not ventilated at all. They don't treat you as brothers. The oil warehouse is in that bunker, and the ground is marinated by the leaked oil."
"Which fort?"
"We are the fifth one. Push forward, the second one."
Hardly had he finished speaking when He Zan jumped up and slammed a bunch of Three Character Classic towards the ceiling.
Ye Na lowered her head to drink water, pretending she heard nothing.
He Zan was not satisfied after scolding, so he rushed out of the door and went to complain to someone unknown.
Ye Na was left alone in the office. After waiting for a while and seeing that He Zan didn't come back, she took out her handheld game console to entertain herself.
Just after playing two games, a young soldier knocked on the door and said that the deputy commander sent him to call Ye Na to the cafeteria for dinner.
There was abundant food in the cafeteria, but those who came to eat were their own soldiers. The natives had their own cafeteria, and the two sides did not eat together.
While eating, Ye Na chatted with the soldiers at the same table and reminded them of the risks.
Even if there are elderly people among the indigenous people, they were all born after the war started. The elderly before the war had long died. They grew up under the enemy's education and have lost their mother tongue and history. You have to be careful when dealing with them, and beware of them stabbing you in the back.
The soldiers all said that they have been on guard all the time. Historically, this place was the territory of a neighboring country, and now these indigenous people are still regarded as foreigners. Currently, they are treated humanitarianally and mainly for maintaining stability, and what happens in the future will be discussed later.
At this point, Ye Na had nothing more to say and concentrated on eating. The people above could see more clearly than she did and had all kinds of contingency plans.
After dinner, Ye Na didn't leave. She stayed in the cafeteria, playing handheld games to pass the time.
After everyone in the cafeteria had finished their meal and it was time to clean up, she sat at the cafeteria door playing games with a long table in front of her.
Selling cigarettes.
Boxes of cigarettes are opened and placed on the table for self-service purchase.
The troops came and took over the military bunker, the engineers pulled water, electricity and communication pipelines, and when the soldiers asked her if she had any cigarettes on her, she knew that she could open her small business.
