Early the next morning, the Qin family and the others set off early and flew straight back to the Tianshui base.
After bidding them farewell, Lang Hua stood on the city wall and remained silent for a long time. According to the agreement, the Qin family's Tianshui base and Langya City will establish an exclusive communication channel to achieve a considerable degree of intelligence sharing and information exchange. The two places are 1,400 kilometers apart. It only takes about 4 hours for a new generation of armed helicopters to fly according to the route. They will send a message immediately after they land safely.
It has to be said that after removing the weight, Wuzhi's transit range has greatly increased, and the main and auxiliary fuel tanks can ensure that they do not need to drop off during the entire journey. Moreover, the lethality of those airborne weapons cannot be underestimated. In fact, there is no need for Lang Hua to worry about their safety.
Thinking of this, Lang Hua shook his head. He was standing on the wall at the moment, and the hem of his clothes rustled in the gust of wind, and bulges appeared from time to time. Chen Xinyan couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw it.
She walked closer, poked Lang Hua in the ribs with her elbow, and teased: "What? It's weird to think that the little lady is gone? If you want to keep her, just go after her."
Lang Hua took a step away, turned around and said without any sign of weakness: "You don't care what I do. I feel that you are in a good mood after Mr. Qin left."
"Really? Did I show it so obviously?" Chen Xinyan immediately covered her mouth and looked around with her eyes, her long eyelashes like a pair of butterfly wings.
"Yes, very much." Lang Hua said firmly, "My eyebrows are about to fly to the sky."
As soon as the other party heard this, he immediately covered his eyebrows with his hands and said awkwardly: "No, what's wrong with your eyes..."
No? How could there not be...
This made Lang Hua a little distracted. If there is anyone in the world who knows her best except Chen Xinyan herself, that person must be Lang Hua.
In his previous life, he was the supervisor of the Nata Mountain Scientific Research Base, and he also served as the personal guard of two academicians. I remember that Academician Chen Xinyan, who attended various international conferences, mostly had a distant and silent expression, like a thousand-year-old snow mountain that did not like others to approach her. Only during the two years she lived in Nata Mountain did she often show a relaxed and playful look. This expression represents her freedom and comfort from the inside out, and is one of the few moments in her life when she can't help but feel happy.
In the latter part of the apocalypse, the situation in the human camp was once in danger, and Nata Mountain was subject to armed attacks many times. Chen Xinyan has been living in seclusion in the laboratory for a long time, working with other colleagues in the "Science Alliance" to conduct remote scientific research, and this smile slowly dissipated.
If Lang Hua had any wishes since his rebirth, they would definitely include the hope that this lonely girl would always smile, and that his sister, who is two years older than him, would be happy.
Thinking of this, Lang Hua couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became gentle. Chen Xinyan had goosebumps all over her body at the sight. She quickly stepped away and hugged her chest and said, "What are you doing? It's so disgusting."
"It's nothing." Lang Hua smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just wondering why you don't want to go with Qin Chusheng? If you want to take a road back to the 'Chaoshan Chen Family', currently only the transport planes at Tianshui Base can do it."
"Oh, brat, if you don't understand your own affairs, you are quite worried about what others think."
"Is it possible that you have a crush on me?" Lang Hua touched his chin and struck a cool pose.
"Ugh." Chen Xinyan pretended to vomit, "Narcissistic, so narcissistic. Unfortunately, when I first met you, I thought you were a good boy."
"Thank you, thank you. It is said that there are men, women and female doctors in the world. You must be noble and let me, a young lady, go."
Chen Xinyan immediately responded: "You little pervert, are you worthy of a fairy like me who values both wisdom and beauty?"
"The poison-tongued girl turns left when you go out. Thank you."
"Oh, why have you become such a curious baby today?" Chen Xinyan suddenly sneered and stopped bickering, pointing her finger at Lang Hua, "If you want to know, just beg me and I'll tell you."
Lang Hua immediately said seriously: "I would like to hear the details."
"..."
Now that everything has been said, there is nothing to hide. Chen Xinyan turned around at this time, resting her hands on the battlements and stopping to watch. The gentle breeze in the mountain blew her light brown bangs from side to side, blowing the strands of curly hair from the front of her shoulders to behind her ears.
Chen Xinyan was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Actually, I don't bother that guy named Qin too much. After all, the Qin and Chen families are family friends. And Qin Chusheng, as the eldest son of the Qin family, has always had a good reputation, and can even be said to be young and promising. If not I have been hidden away from my family for many years, and I may become a good friend with him."
Speaking of "friends", Chen Xinyan couldn't help but think of one person in her heart. He was an "ordinary young man" who looked silly and cute. We met her at the "Youth Science Summit" held in Shanghai in the middle of the summer of the year before last...
Seeing that Chen Xinyan suddenly stopped talking, Lang Hua stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Hey, sister, do you have the cassette? How are you?"
"Get off."
Chen Xinyan pushed Lang Hua's arm away angrily and summarized what she just said: "In short, I don't hate Qin Chusheng that much. He always wants to help my family speak for me. Naturally, I don't have a good attitude toward him."
"You can't tell," Lang Hua said with a thumbs up, "Dr. Chen is still young and rebellious."
"You didn't realize it." Chen Xinyan suddenly raised her eyebrows, "No, I'm eighteen and you actually dare to call me old?"
Lang Hua touched his face, smiled and said, "You are a little older than me..."
Um? It seems that this is indeed the case...
"Get out of here!" Chen Xinyan said angrily.
…
Gradually the sun rose, and there was a hint of warmth outside. The two stood side by side next to the wall, letting the warm sunlight shine on half of their bodies. Slowly, Chen Xinyan closed her eyes in the breeze, raised her face and gently exhaled a breath of hot breath.
In the silence, the noisy voices under the city wall gradually spread. Between the silence and the noise, Lang Hua suddenly said: "I heard from Uncle Yang that the research institute in the back mountain has been built."
"Yeah." Chen Xinyan snorted, which was considered an answer.
"So you really plan to settle down in my little temple, right?"
"That's right." Chen Xinyan opened her eyes at this time and said slowly, "If the headquarters doesn't have any arrangements for me."
The headquarters she mentioned should be the Science League, Lang Hua thought.
"Of course, the headquarters' orders are just that." She went on to explain, "We are a membership unit and our management is very loose."
As a researcher in the medical and biological fields, Chen Xinyan clearly knew how valuable the "purified pharmaceutical formula" in Lang Hua's hands was. It would obviously be foolish to ask her to give up these ready-made experimental products and instead go back to the Science League to research the formula of the "simple potion" that has long been on the market. As for Lang Hua and Langyacheng, they lack professional pharmacists, so it would be great if Chen Xinyan could do it for them.
The two parties have mutual supply and demand, so they naturally hit it off. Of course, there is one thing Chen Xinyan did not explain. When living with these people in recent days, she often felt particularly at ease and comfortable, as if there was a will in the dark that made her choose to stay involuntarily. Growing up, Chen Xinyan considered herself a complete materialist and could only use science and wisdom to answer all difficult questions. The secrets of Lang Hua and the inexplicable sense of familiarity that Lang Hua brought to her made her Gradually, I became interested in exploring...
On the other side, Lang Hua has already begun to plan his future arrangements: "The research institute..."
Chen Xinyan glared: "Don't call it 'research institute' or 'laboratory'. It's ugly to be called 'director'."
"Dean... Chen?" Lang Hua said with an idea.
"Sounds good," the other person smacked his lips and asked, "When does lunch start?"
Lang Hua turned his head and ignored a certain topic: "Wouldn't it feel like a bachelor to be the director of a research institute in this shabby base?"
"Definitely." Chen Xinyan looked at him with an intriguing smile, "But I don't think you will settle for the status quo and be the patron of a small temple, do you?"
Lang Hua spread his hands and admitted, "That's true."
No matter in her past life or this life, Chen Xinyan can always be extremely sensitive to the movements of people around her, and even Lang Hua feels helpless. However, it is always a good thing that Chen Xinyan joins Langya City in this world, otherwise Lang Hua alone is destined to be unable to survive. The world situation is changing after the disaster, and you still need to be strong when forging iron. In addition to making allies like the Qin family, we must not neglect the construction of our own team.
"What? Not willing?" Chen Xinyan raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't even want the beautiful academician who gave you a free gift?"
"No way," Lang Hua said, "From now on, Sister Xinyan will be the face of our base, hahaha."
"Wait a minute, don't use my face to advertise, do you hear me?" the other party threatened.
Lang Hua frowned and said, "What a coincidence, we are also a membership unit, and I am still the vice president. So to a certain extent, you have to obey my management."
"Begging for a beating!"
"Microscopic. Brat, look at the knife!"
When Lang Hua saw several tungsten steel blades appearing around him, he immediately shrank his head and ran away. The two of them chased and escaped, and in an instant they were at the other end of the city wall. It wasn't until Lang Hua hid behind Lin Qian that Chen Xinyan stopped chasing and straightened her posture.
Perhaps the previous "red-haired Lin Qian" had such a deep impression on Chen Xinyan that her expression was unnatural when facing the original Lin Qian. Aunt Chen Xiwu will break up with the family, on the one hand because of Lin Wenjin's existence, and on the other hand because of the pressure from the top brass of the Chen family. Perhaps Chen Xinyan didn't know what emotions to use to face this lost cousin with a double-sided personality.
"There are so many people who came to seek refuge today." Lang Hua said in surprise.
Although she knew that this guy was changing the subject, Chen Xinyan still couldn't help but look outside the city gate. I saw many people carrying large and small bags lining up outside the city gate. Duan Qing was registering at the square table in front of the city gate. Security Minister Xing Wutian and several workers were constantly maintaining order.
In the distance, more people were emerging from the winding road of Fengwei Mountain and the newly opened paths in the jungle. They were probably people who came to seek refuge from nearby areas one after another after receiving Fu Lianhe's radio broadcast a few days ago.
"Everyone, line up. You must line up."
"People with abilities use the side door. There is a special registration office. Other survivors please report their personal information. Do not conceal or misreport, including name, place of origin, occupation, evolutionary direction and level..."
"If you have skills, please be sure to fill in the last column of the report and don't miss the opportunity to be reused by the base. Especially those who are proficient in agriculture, medical care, communications, chemical industry... and friends who have received military training."
"Uncle, don't jump in line! After filling out the first form, please turn right to the small square to take the strength test, speed test and sensory test."
"For those who participated in the combat test, someone will guide you to the training ground at the base."
"Those who have completed all five registrations, don't forget to take the report form to our dormitory manager to collect the dormitory key this afternoon."
…
Seeing the people pouring into the base, Lin Qian couldn't help but worry to Lang Hua: "You are too big-hearted to suddenly let so many outsiders in. Aren't you afraid..."
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?" Lang Hua stood up straight and smiled, looking very confident, "As long as we are strong enough, those young people will be nothing more than rats and fleas."
Chen Xinyan glanced at it with her peripheral vision. She originally wanted to ridicule Lang Hua, but gave up when she thought that Lin Qian was beside her.
Finally, she sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The development of Langya City requires a population, and accepting them bit by bit is too slow. This is not the best way at the moment, but it is the fastest."
"Yes," Lang Hua said seriously, "the aristocratic family's power has a profound foundation. Even if it suffers a great loss in disaster, it cannot be compared to ordinary rising stars. If Langya City wants to compete with these established forces in the future, who should we compete with? It all takes more time.”
"There are many people with mixed eyes. I hope nothing goes wrong." Lin Qian was still a little worried.
Chen Xinyan also said: "There are many people in the world who are ambitious and repay kindness with hatred. No one can guarantee that betrayal will be avoided 100%. But everyone is profit-seeking, as long as the treatment here is good enough and tempting enough. , I think people will think carefully before making a decision."
"They will see that the benefits of being loyal to us are greater." Lang Hua nodded.
"But don't worry too much. As long as you attract outsiders, there will inevitably be people with bad intentions among them. When Langya City becomes famous, this situation will only become more common. Soldiers will stop it, and water will cover it with soil." He He looked at Lin Qian and smiled, "Don't you still have confidence in me?"
Looking at Lang Hua, Lin Qian burst out laughing: "I know you're awesome, okay."
Lin Qian looked forward to it: "As time goes by, people's hearts will be revealed. As time goes by, people will have a sense of belonging. I hope these people can eventually become one of us."
Lang Hua still wanted to say something, but at this time, Xiao Heizi's voice came from the intercom on his chest.
"Lang Da...Deputy City Lord, everyone in the conference room is here, I just need you."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
Lang Hua took the two women down the city, then crossed a square, and two minutes later arrived at the conference hall on the second floor of the headquarters. It is said to be a conference hall, but it is actually a large, roughly decorated office in the headquarters building. Lang Hua pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Yang Bensheng, Lin Wenjin and other members of the original team there. Even the sword attendants who were responsible for opening the way outside also rushed back from the jungle. When these people saw Lang Hua arriving, they immediately stood up.
Lang Hua motioned for everyone to do so and went straight to the front seat to sit down.
"Comrades, Langya City has been established, and it all depends on the hard work of everyone here."
"Three days later, we will take the initiative to participate in a battle. The success or failure of this battle is related to whether Langya City can rise in the shortest time. Please pay attention to it. We have no choice but to win."
"Now let's talk about the arrangements in the base."
"First of all, Xing Wutian's security department responsibilities remain unchanged and continue to maintain order in the base. At the same time, I need you to use the square stone monument as the boundary to divide the inner and outer city areas. The barracks and dormitories under the city wall and the surrounding areas are set up as the outer city. Anyone who breaks into the inner city without permission will be killed. amnesty!"
"The city gate registration office is temporarily taken over by Zheng Hong. Duan Qing, the secretariat issued three simple laws on behalf of the city lord's palace: those who kill or rape will be killed, those who steal or disobey the administrator will be expelled, and those who passively avoid war will be permanently marked as second-class citizens."
"Old Chen, you will be the training instructor for the new recruits, and Duan Hei will be your deputy. We must ensure that everyone can skillfully use firearms to participate in the battle as soon as possible."
"In addition, Duan Hei is responsible for the clearing and transportation of weapons in the arsenal and the collection and transportation of star grass. Langya City needs a few more intermediate ability users!"
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Yang, and Aunt Ping, please work in groups of three to lead the previous batches of evolved evolvers to take turns participating in the battle, clear out the corpses in nearby villages and suburbs, and at the same time collect necessary food, fuel and other supplies."
"Shashi will be our peripheral base. It is the foundation for development. It is also an external barrier."
"Sister Xinyan, I need the institute to get to work tonight and prepare as many evolutionary agents as possible. Those newly recruited medical graduate students will be allocated to you and you will be allowed to use the base's crystal core reserves."
"Sister Qian, Xiaoxiao, you two will lead the training of the new ability users. I only have one request, don't let those soft-footed shrimps who are afraid of risking their lives!"
"Hai Ping, Lan Xi, I order you to select members from the latest batch of refugees within one day and form a charge team. I don't care what method you use, I only want warriors who can fight! Those who dare to take the initiative to participate in the war will They are our first team members.”
…
"Comrades, in the era of catastrophe, the human race encountered a catastrophe. Corpses and orcs suddenly emerged, trampling the civilization we were once proud of into a mess."
"This will be an extremely difficult and dangerous battle for survival, and also a battle for the survival of human civilization."
"I think Langya City will be our first step as a human resistance in the era of catastrophe. In the near future, this place will become a springboard, and we will use this to regain Shashi and regain Dongshan Province..."
"In this turbulent era, you and I both have responsibilities and missions that we cannot shirk."
"A single spark can start a prairie fire, and we will surely regain the glory of the human race!"
