The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

"Captain He, come and deliver the food."

"Yes, the next batch of vegetables has just been cooked. Your kitchen staff is eager to cook them. I will send them to you as soon as possible."

He Guiqi greeted the kitchen chef with a smile.

Yu Lianhai was promoted to deputy battalion commander, his deputy position was promoted to commander of the planting company, and He Guiqi was promoted to deputy company commander.

Originally, there was no need for a deputy company commander like him to deliver vegetables. Everyone in the planting company knew that Deputy Company Commander He’s favorite job was to deliver vegetables to the kitchen, so naturally no one would compete with him for it.

The chef turned on the stove with swift hands and feet, "Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The troops have two meals a day, and the evening meal is still early, so now is the time when there are the least people in the kitchen.

He Guiqi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

He fished out a broken cigarette case from his pocket, took out a half-smoked cigarette, lit it on the stove, and took a deep puff.

The cigarette had been stored for too long and had become damp, so it tasted astringent when I smoked it.

He Guiqi blew out a smoke ring comfortably. It was good enough to have something to smoke. This half box was bought from that old man Zhao Hongyi.

While cooking, the chef glanced at He Guiqi with envy and licked his lips. Before the end of the world, he also took a few puffs. Now he felt good just by smelling the cigarette.

The dishes were quickly cooked: stir-fried dried fish with green onions and two black steamed buns made from mixed flour.

Fish are caught in the deep sea. There is no grass or trees. The wild animals in the mountains have either starved to death or been eaten by people. Everyone is reaching out to the sea. If this continues, the fish will probably become extinct.

Scallions are grown all the time, but the yield is not high and not everyone can eat them.

Only a small amount of oil was used, just two drops to wet the pan, but even so, He Guiqi was already very satisfied.

I couldn't bear to throw away the cigarette butt, so I extinguished it, left it on the table until it cooled down, and then put it back in the cigarette box so I could take a few more puffs next time.

The master chef was not surprised and said with a smile:

"The grain dumplings aren't too cold, so I didn't heat them up. Please eat them first and I'll get you a bowl of hot soup."

Firewood is in short supply. It has only gotten better since a biogas digester was built at the base. Life has been tight for too long and everyone is being frugal, trying not to use firewood if possible.

It was a great honor for He Guiqi that he could ask the chef to prepare a special meal for him.

Rubbing his hands, He Guiqi looked greedy and said:

"Don't be busy, let's eat together."

He delivered food to the kitchen just for this taste. Nothing could make him happiest.

"I've eaten, I've eaten, you eat, it will be ready in a while."

If He Guiqi had not been humble, whoever starved to death would not have starved the chef who cooked him.

He picked up a multi-grain dumpling, bit it hard, and chewed it for a long time, but couldn't taste what it was made of. He Guiqi didn't ask, as he was afraid that if he asked, he would not be able to swallow it.

The small dried fish was very salty, so salty that it tasted bitter. It was not because too much salt was added, but because the salt was roughly refined and was bitter in itself. However, He Guiqi still found it delicious when he ate it.

The chef placed a bowl of hot soup in front of He Guiqi:

"Drink something hot to warm yourself up."

The base supplies hot water uniformly, with half a pot per person per day. All places that need hot water can only use that half pot.

If you want to think more, you can only find a way yourself. Everyone on the mountain has been exhausted, and there are limited ways to think of. It is not easy to get a drink of hot water.

After taking a sip, He Guiqi nodded repeatedly: "Mm, fresh, fresh, delicious."

It’s called soup, but it’s actually just a bowl of hot water with a few chive rings floating on it.

The master chef looked very proud:

"That's right, I roasted some shrimp oil and added two drops to the soup, how could it not be delicious?"

The master chef is a man who knows how to handle things. If he knows how to handle things, he must tell the leader what he has done. Otherwise, the leader will not know what he has done.

He took out his cigarette box and threw a cigarette to the chef, "Thank you."

The chef was pleasantly surprised. "Oh, oh, oh, how can this be so embarrassing?"

He said this while pinching his ear, not being polite at all.

"Why should you be embarrassed to talk to me? I am grateful to you for taking care of me."

One was grateful and the other was good at handling things, and they soon got along well.

As we chatted, we talked about the latest news. The army cafeteria was bustling with people, and people were very well-informed.

"Hey, there is something new. Captain He, how many years have we not seen any living creatures other than humans?"

He Guiqi raised his head: "What do you mean?"

The master chef looked excited:

"I heard that yesterday, some of them saw a big dog, a wolf, and a fat rabbit."

Rabbit? The little creature from Zuo's family flashed through He Guiqi's mind.

"I heard from the soldiers who came back that the big dog was that big..."

The master chef gestured at its size and said, "It's quite a big one, with fur that's very shiny, like satin. The little soldiers are envious of it."

The big dog at Sister Zuo's house is very well-raised, with smooth skin...

Rabbit, big dog? He Guiqi felt like he was being acupunctured. Could it be...?

He stood up and grabbed the chef, excitedly asking, "Who saw it? Where are they now?"

The master chef was startled and stammered, "It's, it's, it's the little soldier in the base."

"What about people?"

The chef blinked his eyes and asked, "Where is the big dog? Why is Captain He asking about a person? What does that have to do with anything?"

"I, I don't know either. They said the three men with the big dog had a conflict with the young soldiers in the base and left."

He Guiqi walked out in a hurry, but halfway through, he remembered that he had not finished his meal, so he turned back, stuffed the remaining dishes into his mouth, drank the soup, and put the remaining steamed bun in his pocket.

"Thank you. I'll see you next time."

Before he finished speaking, the man had already run away.

Looking at the clean basins and bowls on the table, the chef was confused: "What's wrong with this Captain He?"

He ran to Zhao Hongyi's office and walked in without waiting for notification.

The office is so crowded that it can barely hold more people.

He Guiqi was stunned for a moment, and without caring about what others were saying, he just opened his mouth and shouted:

"Commander, Sister Zuo and the others are back."

Zhao Hongyi's face darkened: "You don't know how to knock on the door? Is the orderly dead?"

The orderly felt aggrieved and thought, you old man have a good temper, they never knocked on your door when they came.

He Guiqi did not argue, but stepped out and said in a loud voice: "Report to the commander, I have something to report."

Zhao Hongyi: “…”

He Guiqi poked his head out with a playful smile, "Can you come in now?"

Rubbing his brows, he said, "Come in."

I really have no temper for these two-faced soldiers.

"Commander, Sister Zuo's family is back. There are dogs and rabbits. It must be them."

Zuo Ling's family disappeared inexplicably, and for this, He Guiqi received a heavy punishment.

Yu Lianhai asked him to pick someone up. No matter how the person disappeared, if he failed to complete the task and lost the person, it would be his responsibility.

He Guiqi regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. You know, Sister Zuo was planning to leave and would follow her closely no matter what.

He was not doing this for the base, but for his own stomach. Without Sister Zuo's subsidy, he would feel very upset.

Zhao Hongyi didn't say anything, and He Guiqi then realized that the atmosphere in the room was wrong.

At a glance, there were about ten people standing in the room, most of them were young soldiers, and the highest rank was a non-commissioned officer.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, "Could it be that you were the ones who discovered Sister Zuo's family?"

Zhao Hongyi snorted. He was just asking about what happened before and after discovering Zuo Ling's family.

There are dogs and rabbits, two men and one woman. The only thing that doesn't match is an extra wolf.

The soldiers said it was not a boy, but a grown man.

It has been several years. Xiao Hao has grown up a bit and has become a grown-up boy.

The features were too obvious, so without asking about their appearance, Zhao Hongyi concluded that they must be Zuo Ling's family.

He was somewhat resentful about the disappearance of Zuo Ling's family.

You just took the submarine and ran away. Who can you be responsible to? If it weren't for the special approval from the higher-ups, could you have the submarine whenever you wanted?

He didn't care that the submarine was exchanged by Zuo Ling with points. Anyway, Zuo Ling was wrong.

Afterwards, I learned some things about people with special abilities from Chief Mei.

I vaguely realized that Zuo Ling and his sister might be people with supernatural powers.

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense. No one else can grow vegetables, but Zuo Ling can. He knows exactly how Zuo Ling came to the base back then.

If there was a formula for the nutrient supplement, I'm afraid I would have exchanged it for a submarine long ago, and there would be no need for so many points.

Speaking of points, it also shows that Zuo Ling and his sister are people with special abilities. How could ordinary people collect astronomical points in such a short time?

At the same time, he guessed that this was the reason why Zuo Ling's family ran away.

He didn't understand why. He was just a person with special abilities. That was a good thing. What was there to run away from?

We know that you are people with special powers, and we treat you well. The army cannot treat you unfairly.

But it seemed that Chief Mei was not surprised at all that Zuo Ling's family ran away.

Zhao Hongyi really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Then what are you waiting for? Find the person back as soon as possible." He Guiqi said anxiously.

The climate is better now than in the extremely cold or hot periods, so we can grow some vegetables, but we can only grow vegetables with short growth cycles and low temperature requirements, so the growth is not very good, and grain is even worse.

The most lacking thing in the base is food. If Sister Zuo is here, the food problem will be solved. He Guiqi has a very beautiful idea.

The young soldiers were sweating profusely. They had no idea that those people were so powerful that they had even alarmed their leaders.

Especially the one who was leading the group, he was sweating like he had been washed with water.

He, he, he, seemed to have gotten into trouble and chased away the person the leaders were looking for.
