The End of the Earth

Chapter 109: Controlling People

"Rocket Base, I'm Xiang San.

Received a reply.

"Commander? Command Center received!"

"Have Shan Qiao organize the manpower. I'll send you the coordinates. We'll find a few military transport vehicles and have those representatives find a few people who can drive special vehicles."

"Roger that! Commander! Notify Captain Shan Qiao immediately!"

How many? The staff at the command center were overjoyed. What the base lacked most now was large-scale transportation vehicles.

Xiang San intends to include this abandoned military base in his future development plan. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted by a base with complete modern fortifications, but he needs to take it step by step.

More than an hour later, Boris and a group of people arrived at the gate of the base.

The base gate opened and they met Commander Xiang San.

"Commander! All the pilots are here. This place is amazing. I didn't expect there to be such a place."

Boris was a little surprised. This place was actually not too far from the rocket base.

"The car is inside. Who are those people? Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go get the car out. The keys are in the car."

Boris scolded the new pilots. Looking at their naive appearance, they were probably intimidated by this base.

After all, such complete and solid human fortifications were rare in this period. Most of them were patched-up gathering places. Even if there were similar solid small defensive cities, they would not allow these "wandering ghosts" in the wilderness to move in.

The four military transport vehicles were a small gain, but unfortunately, without medical equipment and medicine, the seriously injured at the rocket base might not last long.

Boris asked several of his assistants to give up their seats and move to the back carriage, leaving the relatively comfortable soft seats in the off-road vehicle to Xiang San and his daughter. Xiang San just smiled and accepted this little thought.

He understood that the other party was probably trying to please his daughter. Looking at Answei sleeping soundly in the back seat, Xiang San's nerves relaxed a little and were no longer so tense. He changed his posture, supporting his head with his right hand and leaning against the car window. The demon cells on his face opened the feedback nerves and felt the cold wind with slight radiation.

He personally called this reality, which could always remind him that he was still alive and a human being.

“Point, Commander.

Can I ask you a few questions?"

Boris glanced at Ansevi in ​​the back seat, lowered his voice for fear of waking her up, and asked Xiang San softly.

“It’s okay, my daughter has always been an incredibly deep sleeper, you don’t have to deliberately suppress the sound.

Also, you can just call me Xiang San in private, no need to be so reserved."

Boris's expression relaxed after hearing what he said and he continued to ask, "Mr. Xiang, the seriously injured soldiers in the base have begun to die one after another, and the representatives' subordinates have begun to discuss it.

Mr. Shan Qiao has sent the Tianxing patrol to suppress a group of people who took advantage of this incident to cause trouble.

Do you have any ideas?"

Xiang San replied calmly, "Your representatives didn't dare to ask me, so they asked you to ask me, right?"

Boris nodded without objecting and said, "Yes, there are rumors among the outsiders in the base that you are not human, and the representatives also have different thoughts."

"About the question of whether or not you are human, Boris.

I think you should have the answer yourself. This commander will not waste time with the outside world on such a boring question. You should answer it for your representatives.

As for the deaths of seriously injured soldiers in the base, I can only say that they are unlucky. After all, I am not a god. All I can take care of is relative safety and food and clothing.

If someone thinks the rocket base is a paradise, they probably need to heal their brain first.”

Boris smiled along. The commander was still sober. They had obviously fallen into a strange circle of thinking. The relatively comfortable circle these days seemed to make everyone feel that the value of life and death had returned to what it was before?

At this time, Xiang San said something that shocked Boris even more.

“From now on, you representatives should interact more with Captain Shan Qiao. I don’t mind you expanding your power and having some selfish motives.

As long as you maintain the development plan of the core area in principle, it will only benefit you and not harm you.

If you make the wrong choice, it’s your own problem.

But if the examiner tells you the answer, you still have to question it and choose the answer you think is correct.

That's not just stupid.

Don’t your representatives just want to know how I would react if Shan Qiao took the initiative to suppress the people who were causing trouble without my consent?

Not to mention suppressing them, even if Shan Qiao asked the Tianxing patrol to kill them, I wouldn't ask about it.

You can tell your representatives what I said, literally."

Boris swallowed his saliva and nodded nervously and cautiously. He didn't even dare to nod more, even if the amplitude of the nod was a little bigger. His nerves were suddenly extremely tense and he was very cautious.

Xiang San gently patted Boris's shoulder and said soothingly, "Look how scared you are. I'm not demonstrating to you, but asking you to warn those people.

You are different from them. You are smarter and braver. Otherwise, they would not let you ask such a question.

Those people are different. Once they are given some power, they become arrogant and conceited. They have big ambitions but little courage, and what’s worse is that they are stupid.”

Boris's mood at this moment was like climbing a mountain and then falling into an abyss, repeating this several times, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing him like this, Xiang San felt secretly happy. Although he liked this kid very much, he still had to teach him a lesson to avoid causing trouble for Shan Qiao in the future.

Neither of them noticed at this moment that Answei in the back seat had opened her eyes and was listening to their conversation. She was emitting strange attitude waves, which made both of them unaware that the little lamb in the back seat had opened his eyes.

After listening to the conversation between Xiang San and Boris, Ansevi closed her eyes again, carefully pondering the conversation between the two in her mind.

Xiang San, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly seemed to remember something and glanced at Answei who was sleeping soundly in the back seat.

He shook his head, thinking that he was too careless and had forgotten the existence of his daughter.

A few hours later, the rocket base's lookout tower spotted the transport convoy and immediately notified Shan Qiao.

The Star Patrol began to greet them outside the base.

The arrival of large transport vehicles one after another boosted everyone's morale, which meant that the ability to collect supplies would be greatly improved in the future.

Rocket Command Center

Xiang San was surprised to find that the command center was much cleaner. It turned out that Shan Qiao had sent people to carry out a comprehensive cleanup with a large amount of snow. Now both the core area and the representatives' forces have recruited a large number of personnel, and many things that could not be considered before can be put on the agenda.

"Oh! Underground water vein detection, interlocking vehicle mounting... Let's start with the key work on food, water, and construction.

Especially some of the medical equipment and medicines privately owned within the base should be exchanged if possible. They can be used to treat some valuable and seriously injured patients.”

As the orders were issued one by one, the responsible personnel began to leave, leaving only a few representatives including Boris and Shan Qiao and others who remained in their seats, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Xiang San looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you acting like you had it all planned out today? What's going on? Tell me!"

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Shan Qiao gritted his teeth and began to tell what had just happened.

"Does anyone know where there's a large amount of supplies, maybe even medical supplies?

Isn’t that a good thing?”

Shan Qiao sighed, "That guy is full of nonsense. The place he mentioned has been to many people. It's just a ruin. There's nothing there. And... And this guy is very unreasonable. He used rude words to insult the commander and said that the commander didn't dare to see him.

The brothers below saw his crazy look and locked him up first."

Xiang San frowned, feeling that something was amiss. Even if someone disliked him, they wouldn't scold him in front of his men, right? Was there really someone who didn't want to live?

"Bring him to me. I want to see who he is."

When Shan Qiao's Tianxing patrol team dragged a middle-aged man in, the man somehow got the strength to break free from the two soldiers, ran to Xiang San, and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Commander! Almighty Commander! Save my son! Save my son!"
