In the Sunshine Era, Xiaoyi was only in the second grade of middle school, and her parents were official workers, so she was always well protected. She had never suffered much since she was a child, so naturally she had no scheming intentions.
In the early days of the Weird Era, they were almost kept at home, and were as carefully protected as greenhouse flowers. Therefore, Xiaoyi's character is charming and simple, and she is the kind of person who will clearly show her worries on her face.
Naturally, she couldn't hide anything in her heart. It is also difficult to understand Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang’s good intentions.
She also counted on her parents to intercede with Jiang Yue on her behalf and bring her with them.
But Jiang Yue understood what Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang were thinking. They were hesitant to protect their daughter at home and send her to the Operations Bureau for special training.
It can be seen that they are not confident about their daughter's ability to be independent.
Let's go to the Western Frontier Region. Not to mention the mission itself, the journey alone makes Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang feel guilty. With Xiaoyi's petite temperament, she has hardly left her parents since she was a child. Although she has a lot of experience in studying in the Action Bureau, She has made progress, but compared with others, her daughter is still a little young after all, and her temperament is still not strong enough to cope with such difficult and complicated tasks.
Therefore, as Jiang Yue guessed, Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang really did not want Xiaoyi to participate in this mission.
Jiang Yue had said so, and Uncle Ye also took the opportunity to persuade: "Girl, the quota for your brother Xiao Yue has been finalized and submitted to the official for review. Even if you want to go now, Xiao Yue can't give you the green light. .”
Xiaoyi pouted her little mouth with an unhappy look on her face: "Dad, did you do something wrong before and deliberately prevented Brother Xiaoyue from choosing me?"
Uncle Ye smiled bitterly: "Look at this girl, you still rely on your father."
Jiang Yue smiled and persuaded: "Xiao Yi, I have been busy with the list. I really haven't seen your dad before. It doesn't matter if you didn't participate in this mission in the West Frontier Region. Crescent Harbor also has missions. Look, this This time I took away a group of elites from the base. The safety of Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang will be left to you, Xiaoyi, to protect them. Don't you think this mission is more glorious than going to the Western Region?"
When Xiaoyi heard this, she was slightly startled, and the emotion on her face relaxed a little.
"Brother Xiaoyue, you mean, you want me to stay at home to protect my parents?"
"You learned your skills in the Operations Bureau, why don't you take on this responsibility? At the same time, let Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang see your abilities, so that they can feel more at ease. In the future, I will feel more confident about letting you go out to perform tasks."
These words made Xiaoyi feel a little better.
"Brother Xiao Yue, although I know you are coaxing me, you have passed the test! Humph, don't think I don't know, you just think my awakening strength is not strong enough." Xiao Yue had an expression on his face that said he understood everything.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "You have been studying in the Operation Bureau for the shortest time, but you have great potential. In the future, maybe Crescent Harbor Base will be proud of you. Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang have a beautiful face because they have you as their daughter. If you have light, you will be held up wherever you go."
Xiaoyi's eyes immediately shone.
The prospects described by Jiang Yue made Xiaoyi feel very motivated to realize them.
It is said that it is the responsibility of boys to honor their ancestors, but deep down in Xiaoyi's heart, she still hopes that she can also become the pride in the eyes of her parents, bring glory to their faces, and make everyone envious of them.
Xiaoyi nodded seriously: "Brother Xiaoyue, I will definitely become very strong, stronger than Dong Lan and Dong Qing. Just wait and see! When the time comes, I'll see how you exclude me."
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "If there is still such a chance, I will recruit you first. Then Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang will definitely feel free to let you go on the expedition."
Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang both nodded: "Yes, Xiaoyi, you have to work hard to learn your skills. When the time comes, your parents will definitely support you in carrying out tasks with Xiaoyue."
Finally, the turmoil on Xiaoyi's side has been settled.
That night, Jiang Yue stayed at Crescent Harbor Base to rest.
With those agents being killed last time, the entire area around the Crescent Harbor Base is now calm.
Even the monster Xie Sui seemed to be afraid of this place and did not dare to come and cause trouble.
Vaguely, Crescent Harbor actually has the atmosphere of returning to the sunshine era.
Early the next morning, the team assembled at the designated location. All the people, horses and equipment showed up at the airport on time.
Except for the flight crew, all members of the twenty-man team were present and fully armed.
Everyone’s equipment requirements were 100% met.
It can be said that the official has given enough face this time.
The ruler and Director Luo Teng saw him off in person. Of course, out of confidentiality, the two elders did not bring many people with them, only some absolute confidants followed.
It is natural for a person in power to say something powerful.
This is what Han Yiyang is best at. After some words of encouragement and praise, many people actually do this, feeling quite proud, and the blood in their bones seems to be surging.
After all, he is in charge!
A high-ranking official who would have been impossible to meet in the Sunshine Era was talking to everyone so kindly at this moment. This feeling must be said to be very strange.
Luo Teng didn't say anything, but patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder: "Xiao Jiang, take care, safety first."
Without too many words, the two already have an incomparable tacit understanding.
The plane took off under the watchful eyes of the leader and others, quickly climbed into the sky, and flew towards the Western Region.
In the strange era, that is, in broad daylight, transport planes dare to fly in the cloud sky. In the middle of the night, even airplanes would not be able to guarantee flight safety.
The flight time is about three hours, which is a relatively long period of time.
Most people here have never experienced this kind of thing, and the excitement is still very high. Originally, Jiang Yue reminded everyone to close their eyes and rest in their seats, but the effect of this reminder was not good.
These awakened ones are all in high spirits, and they don’t look like they need to close their eyes to rest.
Tong Feifei and Mao Doudou were sitting together, whispering from time to time, and occasionally casting glances at Han Jingjing and Lin Yifei.
Obviously he wanted to see if these two girls would fight on the plane.
To their disappointment, the two girls deliberately kept a certain distance, one at the front of the plane and the other at the tail, and did not sit together at all.
When they got on the plane, the two of them looked at each other with the same arrogance and ignored each other, as if the other party was air.
Although this situation is a bit awkward, it is already a more reasonable way to get along.
On the left of the three dogs is Dong Lan, and on the right is Dong Qing, looking like a boss.
"Dong Qing, why are you shaking? Aren't you just trying to make a plane? I think you're nervous." Sangou said in a lecturing tone.
Dong Qing looked innocent: "Brother Dog, I'm not shaking, and I'm not nervous either."
"Look, you still don't admit it, how are your thighs shaking?"
Dong Qing said with a bitter face: "Brother Dog, I really didn't tremble. You were the one who trembled, okay?"
Sangou said fiercely: "Nonsense, I am such a calm person, how can my legs shake when I fly? Dong Qing, you have never flown on a plane before, have you?"
"Brother Dog, my dad used to take us out for fun every year, and I have flown on the plane seven or eight times."
"..."
"Brother Dog, is this your first time flying?" Dong Lan, who had been smiling and silent, suddenly asked.
Sangou was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig his toes into the ground.
Dong Qing explained simply and seriously: "Brother Dog, don't worry. I heard from my dad that the probability of a plane crash is actually very low. It is much safer than driving on the road. In fact, the first time I took a plane, I I'm also a little scared. Brother Dog, you..."
"Shut up! Do you believe I will beat you if you talk again?" Sangou said with a dark face.
Dong Qing was confused and had no idea why his kindness aroused so much hostility from Brother Dog.
Dong Lan smiled and said nothing, silently looking at the two living treasures.
From time to time, I glanced at Jiang Yue and felt that this scene was extremely warm.
Dong Lan was very happy to have to fight side by side with brother Jiang Yue again. I am also full of expectations for this journey.
About three hours later, the plane landed at the designated location almost on time.
This is the gathering place agreed upon with other teams in the Central and South Region.
However, after the plane landed, the airport reported that other teams from the Central and South Region had not arrived.
In other words, Star City is the earliest team to come to the Central and South Region.
Of course, the place where they gathered was not the airport, but a hotel near Airport Road.
Sunshine Times was a hotel, and now it is an official settlement base.
There are many hotels on Airport Road. This hotel was originally a four-star hotel. It is not the highest standard, but it is not bad either.
It's just that after entering the strange era, the hotel was not in operation, and the maintenance was naturally not that thoughtful.
After the team entered the hotel, it was more or less not as convenient as in the Sunshine Era.
Of course, the West Frontier Region has obviously specially arranged manpower to try to entertain the reinforcements from all parties.
This hotel is specially placed for the Central and South Region.
The hotel could fully accommodate the team of 200 people from the Central South Region.
Of course, Jiang Yue and the others were the first to arrive and settled in first, but they did not encounter too much trouble.
Although there are few service staff in the hotel, there are only twenty people, which is still easy to digest.
Soon, more than a dozen rooms were opened.
The reason why there are more than a dozen rooms is because some people want a single room and some people want a standard room with a double bed.
Of course, in this case, it is normally difficult to arrange them on the same floor. But now is a strange era, so naturally these things do not have to be done according to the rules of the Sunshine Era, it is just a matter of moving the bed.
Jiang Yue naturally wanted a private room, he was used to being alone.
He needs this kind of alone time and space to keep his thoughts in a clear state.
Mao Doudou and Tong Feifei actually wanted to share a room with their female companions, but in the end, Mao Doudou and Tong Feifei roomed together, while Xiao Zhong roomed with Axia.
For others, if they have a double room, they can naturally choose their own combination.
After settling in, Jiang Yue went around the rooms to make sure everyone was safe, and then made some arrangements around the floor.
It's not that I'm worried about the hotel, but when I'm out and thousands of miles away from Star City, it's never a bad thing to be careful.
Han Jingjing is responsible for arranging duty. Two people work in teams, and each team works for two hours. It must be ensured that there is someone on duty at all times around the clock, and no one is on duty is allowed.
Safety issues are no small matter. Everyone knows that they are not in Star City, not in the base, not in the Operations Bureau. No one here can guarantee their absolute safety. They can only rely on themselves.
After settling in, the group went downstairs to prepare for lunch.
Naturally, the hotel has prepared meals.
Jiang Yue has already set the rules. All actions must be taken together and no action is allowed alone.
Everyone knows that this rule is not to restrict anyone, but to protect everyone.
When in a foreign place, even the most unruly people know how to act and follow orders. Leaving the team means getting closer to danger.
This lunch was obviously not up to the level of reception in the Sunshine Era, but for now, it was pretty good.
Although the Western Frontier Region is in a crisis situation, it is still not bad in terms of resources. It has few people, a vast land, and relatively rich products, so its supply capacity is not bad.
The person in charge of reception at the hotel was obviously not the original operator of the hotel, but the official receptionist arranged by the Xiqiao District.
The leader among them was actually a regional leader of the West Frontier Region. Of course, he was not the main senior official of the region, but the deputy director of the lower level of the region.
If we were in the Sunshine Era, this would be a mid- to senior-level leader.
However, in this strange era, this leader named Zhou Yuanhang could only show his face to engage in these receptions.
Of course, this hotel itself is in contact with the Central South Region team.
Although Zhou Yuanhang's level is not low, he is not wronged by being connected with the Central and South Region.
It's just that the main team from the Central and South Region has not arrived, but a team from Star City has come, which makes Zhou Yuanhang a little disappointed.
The Central and South Region was the closest, so the teams actually didn't come together, but dispersed.
Is this Star City team a bit unorganized? Moreover, he observed that two young people were actually leading the team, which made Zhou Yuanhang even more disappointed. I feel that Star City’s action was too perfunctory. Don’t you even have a more senior leader?
Where is the sincerity?
If other teams are so perfunctory, then who else can the West Region Region count on?
Zhou Yuanhang was even considering whether he should go to his superiors to cry and complain, or even condemn Xingcheng's perfunctory behavior.
Zhou Yuanhang felt that the standard of the Star City team was not high enough and the attention was not paid enough, so he naturally did not come out to receive them in person. Instead, he sent one of his division chiefs to greet them.
The director was tactful, and didn't show anything on the surface. He received him as he should, asked about the situation of the team, and inquired about the status of the team.
Director Liao was also quite surprised to learn that Jiang Yue was the captain of this trip.
He thought that the two older people, Zuo Wujiang and Ba Ye Yu Renying, should be the ones talking about the matter, but he didn't expect that it was really the two young men who had the final say.
Looking at Jiang Yue's face, which was not yet twenty years old, Liao Chu couldn't stand the official formula for a while.
"Liao Chu, if you want to know anything, just ask. There's no need to hesitate." Jiang Yue could tell that the other party was holding something back.
Liao Chu held it in for a long time and said with a wry smile: "Captain Jiang is young and promising, which shocked me. It seems that in Star City, there is an obvious trend of younger talents?"
