The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

Chapter 292: Meeting with the Chief

With the lessons learned from the past, people who came later became more cautious when registering, fearing that they might say something wrong by accident and be mistaken for a foreigner and exiled to an isolated island.

After cross-talk, the situation on the freighter gradually became clear, and various information was gathered to Major Yan.

In addition to Guo Qi, the names of several other leading figures, including Yang Chengang, He Xiao, Di Fei, and Chen Hao, have been registered with Major Yan.

But when he saw the names of Zuo Ling, Pei Nansheng, and Xiao Hao, Major Yan stood up suddenly and quickly read all the records related to Zuo Ling and his sister.

"Someone, go get Guo Qi for me."

Guo Qi thought that Major Yan and even higher-level leaders at the base wanted to talk to him, but he didn't expect that the question Major Yan asked him was about Zuo Ling's siblings.

"They...are gone."

Major Yan straightened up and asked, "Tell me more specifically, how did he disappear?"

The records said that Zuo Ling and his sister disappeared during the war with the Japanese, but Major Yan still wanted to hear Guo Qi's detailed account of how they disappeared.

Guo Qi couldn't explain it clearly. The scene was too chaotic. He was busy fighting the Japanese to the death and had no time to pay attention to Zuo Ling. He could only tell him what he knew.

Major Yan was very disappointed without getting a definite answer. After thinking about it, he made a phone call in front of Guo Qi.

After the end of the world, communications were cut off. After several years of recovery, only a few places where senior leaders were located could carry out long-distance communications, while in most places, only local communications were possible.

The call Major Yan made was to an island-wide call.

Major Yan told the chief on the other end of the phone that the Zuo Ling siblings appeared in the nearby waters, then disappeared inexplicably, and that they had lived in Kangaroo Country with Guo Qi and others for a period of time.

The chief was obviously surprised, and his voice was so loud that Guo Qi could hear it.

"Where did they appear? And where did they disappear?"

Major Yan gave the approximate coordinates.

"Send someone to the nearby sea area to look for him. Go there in person and make sure to find him."

"Yes."

"Who is the person in charge of the freighter? Bring him to me."

"Yes."

After spending a long time together, Guo Qi naturally knew the importance of Zuo Ling and his sister, but he did not expect that they were so important that they were even listed in the military.

"Our leader wants to see you. I'll send someone to take you there."

Major Yan sent an orderly to take Guo Qi to the chief's office, while he hurried off to look for him.

Staring at the shabby iron tricycle, Guo Qi was stunned for a long time.

The young soldier smiled and patted the back of the truck, "Come on up, don't keep the commander waiting anxiously."

The tools used by the base to recruit people... are so advanced!

The little soldier is very proud:

"Not only for hauling people, but also for transporting goods and moving houses, they all rely on my precious vehicle, which is very useful."

Guo Qi felt sad when he heard this. When he left the army, the worst vehicles used in the mess were electric tricycles, but now...

When I got to the island, I was so happy that I didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Now, if you pay attention, you will find that there are human-powered tricycles everywhere. The difference is that the back bucket is different. Some are flatbed trucks, and some are the same as the metal tricycle he is sitting on now.

Many tricycles were pulling sand, some were pulling steel, and some were pulling things like waste, making the scene quite lively.

Along the way, Guo Qi discovered that the inner island and the outer island are completely different things. The outer island is naturally formed, while the inner island is an artificial island.

It is not appropriate to call it an island, as half of it is an elevated structure and the other half is made up of large ships and warships.

Elevated roads, large ships and warships are connected by bridges. The bridges are wide enough for cars to pass through, and to avoid accidents, the bridges are made with loose fasteners.

Those who have never seen land collapse and submarine volcanic eruptions will definitely think that building an island in this way is too casual. But if you have seen it, your perception will naturally be different.

It is obvious that important materials and personnel are all on large ships and warships, which makes it easier to escape in the event of an accident.

After passing more than a dozen checkpoints, we finally reached the chief's office.

The chief's office is on a large warship.

Guo Qi is a veteran. It has been more than ten years since he was discharged from the army. The solemn atmosphere suddenly made him feel like crying.

After the orderly reported, Guo Qi was invited in.

The chief was reading some documents. When he saw him come in, he stood up with a smile.

Guo Qi saluted politely, "Hello, Chief."

His face turned red, he wasn't even a soldier, so his salute seemed a bit strange.

"Sit down, sit down, make yourself comfortable."

The leader smiled and motioned for Guo Qi to sit down.

Guo Qi sat upright on the sofa, as polite as if he were a primary school student meeting his teacher.

“You’re a veteran, right?”

Guo Qi noticed that what the leader was holding in his hand was his personal information.

"Yes, I served in the army for 10 years, made mistakes, and was persuaded to leave."

"Yes, it's in the information. We are young people, and we all have impulsive moments. You must be thirsty. Drink some water, drink some water."

The leader was very understanding and personally poured Guo Qi a glass of water.

The hot cup of water in his hand warmed Guo Qi's dry heart. He drank the water in a disguised manner, for he was afraid of tears falling.

He was indeed impulsive in what happened back then, and for this reason, he took off his beloved military uniform.

He does not regret anything, nor is he afraid of being scolded. Instead, he is afraid of hearing someone say something like, "It's not your fault."

"Tell me how you went to Kangaroo Country and how you met the Zuo Ling siblings."

Guo Qi is a smart man. Before he came, he knew that he could be received by the leader because of Zuo Ling and his sister. He just briefly mentioned the part about himself and focused on Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng.

The chief listened carefully, and when he heard that the Zuo Ling siblings had used invisible means to kill people and frighten the Ning family away, his face showed surprise.

"Didn't you see how the Zuo Ling brothers and sisters moved their hands?"

"I wasn't there when they clashed with the Ning family. The next day, Ning Qiang came and I saw with my own eyes that a member of the Ning family fell in front of us without any warning. I can be sure that they did not make any moves."

Afterwards, Guo Qi thought about it many times but still couldn't figure out how Zuo Ling and his sister did it.

The chief thought for a moment, "Well, go on."

The method of killing people without being seen is shocking enough, and what Guo Qi said later is even more shocking.

"Stop, stop, stop. What's going on with the Rose Country officers being transferred from the warship to the island?"

Guo Qi swallowed and thought, I also want to know what happened, but he really didn't know what happened, so he could only describe the situation again.

The leader was confused by what he heard. If Guo Qijian had not claimed that many people at the scene had seen it, the leader would have thought he was talking in his sleep.

That day, everyone's attention was on Rose Guy, and only the translator noticed that Zuo Ling made a grabbing gesture.

The translator was a man who could read people's expressions. He kept his mouth shut and didn't tell anyone.

"Go on, go on." the leader urged.

When he heard about the underwater volcano eruption and Zuo Ling using his ice power to stop the spread of volcanic ash, the leader could not help but:

"Zuo Ling has ice powers? Doesn't she have plant powers?"

Guo Qi didn't understand why the chief said Zuo Ling had plant abilities. He didn't know much about people with abilities.

"That... I don't know either. Many people saw Zuo Ling using her ice power that day. Freezing a thousand miles is a bit exaggerated, but freezing an area of ​​one or two miles is something Zuo Ling can do."

The leader was extremely confused because it was different from the information he had received.

"You just said that Zuo Ling found some vegetable seeds for you?"

"Yes, we brought back the planting boxes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some green vegetables, and they are growing well."

"Zuo Ling helped you plant it?"

"We grow them ourselves, and she just helps us provide the seeds."

"Well, what else? Keep talking."

Guo Qi was a little embarrassed. He had told everything he knew and saw with his own eyes, and the rest was just his guess.

Seeing his embarrassment, the chief asked, "Why, it's hard to say?"

"Ah, no, no, it's... some of it is just my guess, I can't be sure."

"It's okay. It's my business to tell you what to do."

Guo Qi told him about his suspicions about the freighter, and how it was related to Zuo Ling and his sister, as well as how Poison Scorpion sent people to bomb Tangren Village, and Zuo Ling said that he would take revenge on them.

"Why do you suspect that the freighter appeared out of nowhere? Is it related to Zuo Ling's brother and sister?"

"There is not a single body on the freighter. How is that possible? It is absolutely impossible! If there are supplies, there must be people. But when we saw the freighter, there was nothing but supplies, no people, no bodies. It was clean. It must have been cleaned by someone."

Guo Qi hesitated for a moment and said:

"Before the freighter showed up, I had no doubts. After the freighter incident, I thought that the supplies in the cave were also placed there in advance."

The chief smiled:

"Doesn't that mean that the Zuo Ling brothers and sisters are your saviors?"

Guo Qi nodded seriously:

"They are indeed great saviors. I am very grateful to them, but unfortunately... Alas!"

Thinking of the words the villagers used to scold Zuo Ling, Guo Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"how?"

"No...nothing. Some people are blind and don't know the difference between gold and jade."

Guo Qi simply repeated the words that the villagers used to insult Zuo Ling:

"So, they became estranged from us and didn't want to interact with us. When we were on the island, they lived alone, and when we left the island, they didn't go with us. But when we were in danger, they still showed up, but unfortunately..."

Unfortunately, when the danger was over, he disappeared again.

Guo Qi still couldn't believe that with the abilities of Zuo Ling and his sister, they would die at the hands of the Japanese, but where could they hide?
