under the tower

The weather gradually warmed up, and after the beginning of spring, the frequency of abnormal people gradually reduced, and the production schedule of the base gradually returned to normal.

Ji Xi always comes home late during this time, and Yan Yi is also quite busy, sometimes they can't meet each other for a day——

When Ji Xi woke up, Yan Yi was no longer there, and when Ji Xi returned home, Yan Yi was already fast asleep.

After what happened that night, their lives didn't seem to have changed, or maybe there seemed to be something quietly growing in the dark.

In February, the base announced that the defensive battle against the mutants had been completely won. The army contributed a lot. For the ordinary residents of the base, they just had a rather long vacation and spent most of their savings. Savings for the past year.

The army took advantage of this juncture to recruit recruits aggressively, and Lu's logically recommended a group of candidates, and among them, the newly appointed deputy company commander of the army headquarters was Ji Xi.

Oh no, in fact, no one knew that the new deputy company commander was named Ji Mingxi. Lu Mingxiu thoughtfully arranged a new identity for him, called "Lu Xi".

Lu Mingxiu is very clear that with Ji Xi's heavy identity, even if he pretends to be exposed sooner or later, but it's not time yet——

This big show has just opened, and they still have to perform it dutifully.

As the day when Ji Xi takes office is getting closer, he is becoming more and more anxious, which means that the final day is coming, and he has to say goodbye to Yan Yi, and the fact is that there is a high probability that he will never see him again.

The power structure of Beicheng is similar to that of Shencheng. The army represents absolute control and class supremacy. They do not live in the same world as civilians. Their access is strictly controlled, and it is impossible to have any contact in normal times.

Ji Xi felt that maybe he should pick a time to sit down and have a good talk with Yan Yi about this matter, he deserved a solemn farewell and the opportunity to learn everything from himself, Ji Xi thought.

Rather than hastily leave without saying goodbye.

It's a pity that Ji Xi hesitated to speak to Yan Yi many times, and he never took the first step to talk peacefully. Yan Yi's situation was similar to his. I don't know where to start.

It seems that just because the closer their bodies are in contact, the hearts will be farther and farther away from each other.

But Ji Xi didn't regret what happened that night.

Feelings of shame or embarrassment rarely happen to him, and what he wants to do is always achieved with deliberate efforts, and he does succeed.

He got what he wanted before he left, and that was fine.

Although he also knows that he is not greedy enough and wants more.

At the beginning of the month, Yan Yi told Ji Xi that he was going away for a while, the same as last time, about a few weeks.The weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting—these mercenaries will start to go out of the city to work again from winter to spring.

Ji Xi nodded obediently, he didn't insist on following Yan Yi this time, and he really couldn't leave.

Lu Mingxiu has informed Ji Xi in advance that he will take office on a certain day in mid-February, and Ji Xi will have to report early in the morning, and then according to the unified arrangement of the army, he will be stationed in the core area of ​​the base - provided by the military The treatment is quite good, and a specific residence was arranged for him in Wanshen District, one of the eight central districts in the core of Beicheng. All the officers of the United Front Army lived here. Install high-voltage power grids around. If there is no official approval, not to mention idlers, not even a bird can fly in.

Ji Xi wondered suspiciously, if there is still some room for maneuver, he might go to see the situation first, and then find a way to apply to bring Yan Yi into the Ten Thousand Gods District.

On the day of the report, Yan Yi still hadn't come back.He has been away for two weeks and has not heard from him.

Ji Xi thought for a while, and left a note on the dining table in the living room.

"It's a little urgent to go out. If you go home and see that I'm not here, don't wait for me."

Ji Xi paused with the hand holding the pen, and added a sentence at the end of the note.

"……I will return."

After writing this sentence, Ji Xi put the cap on the pen and put it aside.

He sat down, opened his eyelids with two fingers, and put the micro retinal signal soft transparent chip that Lu Mingxiu gave him into the eyeball.

Ji Xi's eye color is so special that it is easy to attract attention. Even though few people in the Chang family actually saw him back then, the possibility of being recognized by his pupil color cannot be ruled out, so he simply hid it for now. Make sure nothing goes wrong.

This kind of soft transparent chip does not show any traces of wearing in the eyeball, and no metal residue can be detected through the security inspection system.

Its main function is not to change the color of the eyeballs, but to display a few virtual buttons in the retina. As long as the line of sight moves the focus, it can perform simple command operations on this chip, such as contact, communication, and so on.

The chip given by Lu Mingxiu has already preset the information bridge for Ji Xi to contact Lu Mingxiu himself. After Ji Xi enters the army, he can easily avoid the surveillance of the Internet police and contact Lu Mingxiu.

This thing is quite similar to the smart terminal in Ji Xi's spine, but the technology is not as perfect as Shencheng's, and it can only perform some basic operations.

Ji Xi closed her eyes, allowing her eyeballs to adapt to the cold feeling when the soft chip was inserted.

The material of the chip is very special, it does not need to be removed frequently, and there is no foreign body sensation, just like a part of the eye.

Opening his eyes again, Ji Xi's pupils were no different from ordinary people, they were completely dark brown.

In this way, Ji Xi took up the post by himself in the end without informing Yan Yi.

The army headquarters is in Jumen District, one of the eight central districts, next to Wanshen District.

The giant gate area is like a huge steel city, and the only two entrances and exits, one in front and one in the back, are strictly controlled by officers in black uniforms.

On the city tower, the muzzle of the black hole is always aimed at the position of the gate. Anyone who appears abnormal or intends to break in by force will be directly and mercilessly shot to death here.

Further inside, a magnificent building made of heavy arc-shaped iron-gray steel pipes appeared before the eyes, like a forest made of diamond cement. The smooth metal surface reflected a cold and cruel light under the sunlight.

As soon as you walk in here, you will be overwhelmed by the solemnity and solemnity of the architectural style of the Jumen District. The whole area is like a magnificent and huge killing machine, which shows the strong military strength of the Beicheng base and the unprovoked nature of the army. absolute power position.

Ji Xi stopped at the entrance of the giant gate area, and the red dots aimed by the sniper rifle immediately landed precisely on the temples on both sides of his brain.

An officer asked, "Stop, who are you?"

Ji Xi took out his appointment certificate with the military red badge: "I'm Lu Xi."

The officer took it, and asked Ji Xi to wear the smart assistant and enter the iris and security identification area.

After a series of testing and checking procedures, the indicator light changed from red to green, and Ji Xi passed the test smoothly.

Ji Xi was wearing a smart assistant, and a notification sounded in his ears. This smart assistant was sent by Lu Mingxiu after helping him prepare a new identity.

"The identity verification has been successful, name: Lu Xi, has obtained the access authority of the united front forces."

A man stood in front of Ji Xi in a military posture, and gave a standard military salute. He was wearing a meticulous dark black uniform, and the only thing that could identify him was a silver breastplate worn in the pocket of his jacket. It was printed with A string of serial numbers, Y0823, without a name.

His movements were extremely straight, obviously he had received very strict training, he looked like a programmed robot, and he said coldly in a calm tone: "Mr. Lu, please come in, and I will lead you the way."

Ji Xi nodded slightly, and his gestures fully demonstrated his excellent demeanor as a "Lu family".

The man led Ji Xi into it. The giant gate area is very large, and the entire army has different office areas for different subdivisions of intelligence, and the general headquarters where Ji Xi is located is located in the very center of this steel city——

A tall, silvery wedge-shaped building surrounded by other lower buildings around it.

Squads of armed troops in dark uniforms are patrolling the road, and their walking movements are all at the same angle. The dignified suffocation spreads to everyone who enters the giant gate area. They never look around, rarely look around. Speak, walk steadily, and walk neither fast nor slow.Ji Xi followed behind Y0823 without looking sideways. After entering the building and the elevator, he swiped the smart assistant twice before arriving at his reporting location.

The staff inside also greeted him in a cold and mechanical way, and completed the handover formalities in a businesslike manner.

After going through the procedure once, Ji Xi left the Jumen District and came to the Wanshen District across the street.

The security configuration at the entrance of Wanshen District is very similar to that of Jumen District, and the architectural style is also quite similar, but Wanshen District is mainly residential, and the outer walls are mostly painted with calm dark gray, dark blue and other colors. Compared with Jumen District The naked reinforced concrete looks a little more down-to-earth.

Entering Wanshen District, Ji Xi's assigned address is 33 on the eighth floor of Building No. 8023, Block E, West District.

The roads in the Wanshen District are slightly narrower than those in the Jumen District, and there are more people. At least one can feel the popularity of living people.

After entering Ji Xi's address into the smart assistant, the prompt tone continued to indicate the route for him in his ear, and Ji Xi followed the instructions and arrived at his new residence smoothly.

Most of the housing models here are independent single rooms, and a building with a height of about [-] floors can accommodate [-] people.

The sensing area at the door sensed that someone was coming, and there was a light "click", and the smart assistant automatically recognized it, and the door opened.

The furnishings in the room are very simple and the facilities are brand new. It has obviously been cleaned in advance by a special person. There is an open kitchen at the entrance, all using electrical equipment, no fire and smoke control, and the bedroom and the glass shower partition are on the right. In the bathroom of the room, an intelligent control panel is embedded on the central wall. When Ji Xi enters the door, the screen will automatically light up.

A sweet mechanical voice sounded throughout the room: "Mr. Lu Xi, welcome home."

home?

Such a plausible question popped up in Ji Xi's mind inexplicably.

Ji Xi didn't carry any luggage and was completely empty-handed.Fortunately, all the daily necessities he needs can be ordered directly through the smart panel in front of him, and the unmanned delivery assistant in the apartment will deliver the items he ordered directly to the door—this is the mode Ji Xi has been accustomed to since childhood.

Ji Xi felt relieved to finally return to the modern civilized society.

This means that everything, as he expected, is getting back on track step by step.

Lu Mingxiu put 15000 points in Lu Xi's smart assistant as backup funds. Apparently, he found out that the wealthy Master Ji was in financial difficulties in Beicheng from Ji Xi's part-time job at Yu Chengyuan's grocery store, so he thoughtfully remitted them one after another. A sum of money to create the illusion of sufficient funds flow in the account.

After a long drought and rain, a penny can't beat a hero. Ji Xi looked at the string of zeros behind his account and couldn't help but praise him. As expected of the Lu family, they are really rich and powerful.

At least in the short term, he doesn't have to spend money anymore, which doesn't feel bad.
