Chapter 289: Balance


Xiao Ming returned to his old job as a waste digger, climbed up to an abandoned residential building, found a set of clothes and put them on.

Then, he came to the checkpoint at the border of the new city and asked his subordinates to open the entrance and exit of the power grid.

The soldiers were a little surprised when they saw the commander wearing civilian clothes and emerging from the outside alone.

However, looking at Xiao Ming's face, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The responsible squad leader on duty will immediately send a squad to escort Xiao Ming back to the temporary headquarters of the fortress.

However, Xiao Ming waved his hand, not wanting the guards to follow him, and walked towards the fortress alone.

The streets are full of busy survivors.

The renovation project of the fortress is quite arduous, and they have to race against time to complete it before the next attack of Sclerotinia.

Someone recognized Xiao Ming and shouted his name excitedly.

He forced a smile and waved to the people who had high hopes for him.

Accompanying Smiley Face all the way into the fortress, the muscles on his face were stiff, and he secretly sighed that it was really hard to be a public figure.

There were more workers in the fortress, working hard to pull up aluminum wires everywhere and build huge power grid traps.

Xiao Ming did not return to the temporary headquarters, but went to the tenth floor.

He had to report to the mayor and his wife first.

The people standing guard outside the mayor's office were all female soldiers.

When the corpse hunting team led by Xia Yan saw Xiao Ming, they immediately stood at attention and saluted, shouting crisply: "Hello, Commander!"

Xiao Ming felt uneasy and responded hastily.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Rose sitting at the conference table, having a meeting with several people.

Her direction was facing him.

"Wife" Xiao Ming shouted timidly, trying to please her, giving her the image of a husband who had done bad things.

Sure enough, Rose stood up as soon as she saw him and scolded: "You little bastard, you still have the honor to come back after all the good things you did."

Xiao Ming's heart trembled.

Could it be that Rose already knew about the "good thing" she had done and felt that it was wrong?

She didn't have the ability to predict the unknown.

At this time, several people in the meeting with their backs to Xiao Ming turned around, including Yaotou, Zongjie and Nana.

Xiao Ming's eyes widened immediately.

It was indeed Nana.

She was not wearing a white coat and had changed into civilian clothes, so she didn't recognize her just now.

Nana looked at him with a smile and winked mischievously.

Xiao Ming immediately swallowed the confession he had planned.

Rose huffed and continued to get angry: "Are you trying to make me angry to death?

You say one thing and do another.

You dare to hide such a big thing as attacking a nuclear power plant from me and ask Nana to come back first to intercede for you.

It seems like You seem to be afraid of me."

Xiao Ming blinked his eyes, his brain had already turned around, and he looked pitiful: "Honey, I'm just afraid of you.

Ask everyone, who doesn't know about me kneeling on the washboard?"

When the girls and boys in the office heard this, they all suppressed their laughter and their faces turned red.

Since the Nuclear Corpse Challenge, the tragedy and comedy of this pair of happy enemies has been staged again and again, and people can't get enough of it.

It can also be regarded as a highlight that lights up people's hearts in this cruel and dark environment.

Yaotou and Zongjie couldn't help but laugh, and tried to smooth things over: "Mayor, don't be angry.

At least the commander and the dean are fine.

We only lost the nuclear corpse force, but we also severely damaged the mother bacteria and bought us time."

Nana agreed obediently: "Mayor, the commander is really afraid of and loves you.

For you, he is willing to go to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire."

Xiao Ming didn't know how he felt when he saw Nana "helping" him like this.

Speaking of which, if Nana hadn't turned into a rose last night, nothing like that would have happened.

On the other hand, it was also a kind of love. manifestation.

Seeing everyone's persuasion, Rose lost her temper a little and glared at him: "Go and do your work.

I'll settle the score with you in the evening."

"Oh" Xiao Ming, as if he had received an amnesty, quickly slipped out and went up to the control room on the 13th floor, where the border guard's temporary headquarters was located.

The ones in charge of the security were the death squads under Wang Kun.

When Xiao Ming entered the headquarters, there was a lot of joy and laughter.

Jenny, Lin Juxin, and Wang Kun were all there, asking questions around him.

After all, breaking into the lair of Sclerotinia and fighting the mother fungus is a battle that has never happened in a century.

Although Xiao Ming passed the rose level, he still felt guilty when facing Lin Juxin.

He went through the current situation in his mind and roughly mapped it out.

Now that Nana is back, it means that she still intends to help Xinshi fight against Sclerotinia, which makes him feel relieved.

Moreover, she told him about the battle in the nuclear ruins and helped him put in a good word in front of Rose.

With her wisdom, although she did not say it explicitly, it was tantamount to hinting to him that she and he had entered into an offensive and defensive alliance to keep each other's secrets.

That is: he will not reveal her true identity, and she will not reveal the relationship he had with her.

No matter which one of these two is exposed, it will be like detonating a blockbuster for the new city.

For example, in the former, human beings are naturally curious and afraid of unknown things.

If they knew that Nana had become a super creature with a long life and eternal youth, there would only be two reactions.

One is to drive her away and kill her, just like the people in ancient times dealt with witches.

The second is to study her, dissect her, cut her into pieces and study her piece by piece, so that you can also have this ability.

Even Xiao Ming is plotting against Nana, wanting to give her blood to Rose and Wanruo to drink, not to mention other people.

The ancients have long said that those who are not of my race should be punished.

Compared with other ethnic groups, humans are also aliens, even more terrifying aliens.

Of course, the people may not be able to kill Nana, but once the two sides fall out, Nana will just walk away.

If she is as hostile to humans as the webmaster, it will definitely be a disaster for Xinshi, which is already suffering from internal and external troubles.

Not to mention her other abilities, her face-changing aspect alone is so unpredictable and unpredictable.

Like the latter, if people find out that Xiao Ming is having an affair with his wife, who is a sworn brother, it is inevitable that the couple will fall out, the brothers will turn against each other, and the military morale will be shaken.

Recently, the Border Guard Army issued a clear military order strictly prohibiting male and female soldiers from engaging in sexual relations after pairing up, otherwise they will be punished by military law.

The cause was that a member of the death squad had paired up with a female soldier from the corpse hunting squad, but he seduced the wife of a survivor outside.

As a result, the incident came to light, which greatly damaged the image of the border guards.

Although this team member was the earliest veteran to follow Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming could only reluctantly fire him.

If the incident between Xiao Ming and Nana breaks out, how can he straighten himself and discipline others?

People will only say that the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked.

Even if Xiao Ming can explain clearly, it will be difficult to eliminate the grudge in everyone's hearts.

In the face of a powerful enemy, the morale of the military and the people is unstable, which is something Xinshi cannot bear.

Therefore, the tacit understanding reached by Xiao Ming and Nana is actually a terrifying balance.

So, Xiao Ming briefly talked about the battle, without mentioning the details, to avoid discrepancies with what Nana told him.

Especially the part where he was rescued by Nana cannot be mentioned at all.

It can only be said that the two of them worked together to escape.

Fortunately, military affairs are busy, and the redeployed defense lines in new cities and fortresses need to be adjusted according to the actual conditions of the renovation project, which requires Xiao Ming's decision.

Xiao Ming thought of someone: "Hey, where's Xiao Fei?"

Wang Kun smiled and said: "Lao San, you, the adjutant, don't like sitting in the office, so you volunteered to join the border patrol."

Xiao Ming said "Oh" and thought, let this kid go to the grassroots to exercise.

His eyes fell on the monitor on the wall.

There were busy work scenes everywhere.

He noticed that many soldiers were moving things in the underground warehouse.

It seemed very heavy.

It took several people to lift a box.

"What's in the box?"

Xiao Ming asked curiously.

Lin Juxin licked his lips at Jenny and replied in a low voice: "It's ore.

My family insists on moving the brothers into the air-raid shelter, which is a waste of people and money."

Xiao Ming sympathized with his subordinates, turned to Jenny, and started to discuss: "Instructor, please don't move these ores.

They can't be eaten or drunk, and they are of no use to us."

Jenny heard the murmurs of Lin Juxin and Xiao Ming and said angrily: "You don't know how powerful this ore is.

I'm worried that after the ultra-high voltage power grid inside the fortress is connected, the ore will explode."

"No, instructor, tell us, what are the benefits of this kind of ore?

Every year, smuggling ships transport a large amount of it."

Xiao Ming suddenly became interested.

He was thinking of the military aspect.

In the final analysis, the power grid trap set up by the fortress, unless it can also attract the mother bacteria, is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Even if all the large and small sclerotinia bacteria are electrocuted, as long as the mother fungus is still alive, it can continue to fission to produce countless offspring.

The problem is, thousands of miniature high-explosive bombs can't kill the mother fungus.

If he finds a more powerful explosive, he wants to go deep into the tiger's den again and try again Lin Juxin, Wang Kun and Xia Yan all looked at Jenny.

To be honest, everyone wanted to know how important the ore that can be mined everywhere at their doorstep is to the outside world.

Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Jenny sighed: "Originally, the captain didn't let me say it, so as not to make you think that the goods are rare.

However, the new city is in danger, so it doesn't hurt to say it.

This ore contains a metallic element called rubidium, which is useful for Survivors around the world are of extraordinary significance after the nuclear disaster broke out, causing global climate imbalance, agricultural collapse, and industry.

Shutdown and energy shortage, survivors cannot survive without energy.

The conditions in the new city are good, there is water energy and wind energy, but in many survivors' cities, this kind of rubidium-containing ore cannot produce enough electricity. , used in magnetic fluid power generation equipment, only a small piece can provide simple and efficient power, even many large machines can be driven by it."

I see.

Xiao Ming was confused when he heard this.

He remembered reading in a book that in the world before nuclear explosions, the competition between countries was the competition for energy.

In this way, these ores are really precious.

In the outside world, with it, they will be able to travel freely.

His eyes lit up: "Brothers, we have nothing to do, let's go down together to help":
