Chapter 71: Goodbye
Chapter 71: Goodbye
"What a coincidence... Officer Zhang!" Xiao Xiao greeted unexpectedly when she saw that an acquaintance finally appeared.
That's right, this person is Zhang Zhongbo who brought Xiao Xiao to meet Gu Chen for the first time!
After the end of the world, he also successfully survived the great difficulty of mutation, and even evolved into a power user.
When Gu Chen's status rose steadily, he also benefited from it, becoming Gu Chen's messenger and a powerful general as one of the guards.
'Officer Zhang?'
After hearing Xiao Xiao's name, the two of them made this wish at the same time.
The first person was Zhang Kaili. She really felt like she was being played by Xiao Xiao at this time. She said that she didn't know someone, so what happened to this police officer Zhang? Tease her?
And the second one, of course, is Zhang Zhongbo himself. How long has it been since someone called him Officer Zhang? When he listen to it now, he feel a little bit of a time-space disorder. But... the point now is, why did Xiao Xiao appear here?
"Cough!" Zhang Zhongbo coughed uncomfortably first, and then signaled to Zhang Kaili let him handle it.
Zhang Kaili saw Zhang Zhongbo's expression, and after feeling sorry, she looked at Zhang Bozhong sadly, then rolled her eyes and glared at Xiao Xiao, picked up the data on her table, got up and left.
"This is..." Xiao Xiao was stared at a bit inexplicable. Did this Kaili eat dynamite? Why is there so much fire?
"Cough! That's not important, you don't need to pay attention to her. Miss Xiao, why are you here?"
Zhang Zhongbo changed the subject awkwardly, and asked Xiao Xiao's purpose by the way.
Zhang Zhongbo was really surprised by Xiao Xiao's appearance.
Because, he knew all about Gu Chen's search for Xiao Xiao's whereabouts. After all, many of Gu Chen's instructions came from him, and now that the person who Marshal Gu was thinking of took the initiative to appear, how could he not be surprised?
"But..." Xiao Xiao originally planned to say something, but when she saw Zhang Zhongbo's slightly embarrassed eyes, she immediately understood that it was a young couple quarreling, and she was innocently affected.
"Okay, it's like this. I just came back recently, and I want to ask Gu Chen to explain something. By the way, I want to know the situation. Can you help me?"
Xiao Xiao saw that the matter was finally settled, and was not in the mood to gossip about those children. It's a small matter of love, but to see if Gu Chen can be found directly through Zhang Zhongbo.
"Huh?" Zhang Zhongbo was quite shocked that Xiao Xiao wanted to find Gu Chen, but he couldn't show it directly in front of Xiao Xiao, so he nodded seriously and said without thinking, "That's it. Come up with me, I'll take you directly to see him."
In order to avoid people running away, Zhang Zhongbo still planned to take Xiao Xiao for a walk first, anyway, there is an elevator, so it won't take much time to come and go.
"Okay, thank you."
Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't run for nothing today.
Following Zhang Zhongbo into the elevator, Xiao Xiao suddenly thought: what should she say... Zhang Zhongbo brought Xiao Xiao to the police station to see Gu Chen at the beginning, but today, after half a year, Zhang Bozhong took her to find Gu Chen, only it is wonderful to be able to say fate!
Zhang Zhongbo didn't do much nonsense along the way, but Xiao Xiao could clearly feel that he had been paying attention to her...well, just purely curious.
Soon, the elevator arrived.
"Miss Xiao, this way please."
Zhang Zhongbo stepped out of the elevator and pointed in one direction, asking Xiao Xiao to follow him.
"Um."
After Zhang Zhongbo got out of the elevator, Xiao Xiao looked around curiously, but didn't notice anything special. It felt similar to the office building before the end of the world?
Seeing Xiao Xiao's doubts, Zhang Zhongbo smiled and explained to Xiao Xiao: "You are right, this is an ordinary office building. We only reinforce the base and outside the walls."
In response, Zhang Zhongbo had to make more detailed explanations.
"Simply put, we didn't make much changes to the whole building. Because of the limited foundation, the weight that the whole building can carry is limited. If possible, we would like to reinforce it more, but unfortunately the situation does not allow it."
"That's it. Ah..." Xiao Xiao nodded clearly, so she understood, originally such a high-rise building is not suitable for use in this situation - some mutant birds may directly attack the building?
Not long after walking out of the elevator, Zhang Zhongbo stopped.
"We're here, Miss Xiao, please wait here for a while."
Zhang Zhongbo first took Xiao Xiao out of a room, turned his head to explain, and then knocked on the door.
"Who?"
When Xiao Xiao heard Gu Chen's voice, she knew that she had finally found the true master.
"It's me, Xiao Zhong, head, someone is looking for you."
"...Come in!"
Seeing that Gu Chen agreed, Zhang Zhongbo retreated from the door and said to Xiao Xiao, "Okay, you can go in. Let's go first."
After speaking, Zhang Zhongbo turned around and headed for the elevator.
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a little nervous when she saw that she was alone and the door.
At this moment, Gu Chen and Xiao Xiao are only separated by a wall, so Xiao Xiao's mental power can clearly feel Gu Chen's every move.
Gu Chen is a little strange now, didn't Zhang Zhongbo just say that someone was looking for him? Why is there no post after asking?
After thinking about it, Gu Chen got up, walked to the door and opened the door... He was so caught off guard that he saw Xiao Xiao.
"Hi!"
Xiao Xiao greeted slightly awkwardly.
"..."
Gu Chen looked out and determined that the initiator had seen something bad. He sighed helplessly and said, "Come ahead and talk about it!"
...
Xiao Xiao did not expect that the meeting with Gu Chen will be so peaceful, there are no complicated situations, and there is no special situation where the old people have not seen each other for a long time.
"Sit down. If you want to drink tea or coffee, pour it by yourself."
Gu Chen took a cup and put it in front of the seat, then returned to his seat, looking at Xiao Xiao with all his time.
"Thank you."
After Xiao Xiao took her seat, she poured a cup of tea and sipped it one by one. She lowered her head and did not dare to face Gu Chen's scorching gaze.
Gu Chen kept staring at Xiao Xiao, intending to see what she wanted to say, but Xiao Xiao had no intention of speaking.
"..."
"..."
The silence just spread between the two of them. After a few minutes, Gu Chen finally spoke up and broke the strange atmosphere between the two.
"You came here to find me, you should have something to say, right?"
"...Well."
Gu Chen saw that Xiao Xiao was still bowing her head, as if she didn't intend to speak, so he tapped the table twice with his right hand.
"Huh?"
After Gu Chen's slightly magnetic voice sounded, Xiao Xiao realized that she should start talking, so she calmed down her nervousness, raised her head and said, "I'm here to find you, for two main things."
Looking at Gu Chen's face, Xiao Xiao bit the bullet and finished.
"First, I want to tell you that I have returned to the defense line, and I will live here in the future, so I want to get an identity certificate."
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't express any opinion on her words, Xiao Xiao said the more smooth, the whole thing was told.
"Second point, I have a question that I want to ask you..."
At this point, Xiao Xiao remarked a little, describing the system in another way.
"...It,...it's probably like this, what do you think?"
Gu Chen felt a little strangely after listening to Xiao Xiao's statement: "You haven't been re-incorporated into the new account before... Forget it, I'll find out later. Let someone handle it for you! As for the second point you said..."
Although Xiao Xiao didn't explain it clearly, Gu Chen knew that this was the predicament she was currently facing, and it was quite seriousshe wouldn't come find him if it wasn't serious!
However, with Xiao Xiao's vague and half-spoken way of describing it, Gu Chen couldn't give any advice at all!
After being silent for a while, Gu Chen spoke again:
"Assuming that the 'it' in your mouth exists, since it has such a powerful ability, why would you deceive your... friends? What does it plan?"
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was still looking at him blankly, Gu Chen reluctantly rubbed his eyebrows with fingers, the gap between Xiao Xiao is too big, isn't it? Half a year ago, he was still very assertive, so why is he like this now?
For the sake of Xiaoxiao's heart, Gu Chen can only give another way of saying: "I think, even if it is really taking advantage of people, but if it is really harmless, then don't mind too much, let alone you. Since that friend has already profited from it, he must at least give the other party some basic trust. Until the end, no one can tell whether the other party is loyal or a traitor... How embarrassing would it be if you wronged someone?"
Xiao Xiao was a little scared, but after getting Gu Chen's answer, she felt a lot more at ease.
Please forgive Xiao Xiao, after she lost the force she was accustomed to and the sense of security she was accustomed to mastering everything, she always felt that she had returned to the time when she was bullied by others, when she dared not speak out.
Now, after finding a capable person to give her advice, Xiao Xiao's mood is naturally a lot more relaxed - what Xiao Xiao needs is not the answer to the question, but someone who can comfort her when she is vulnerable, calm her restless heart, Gu Chen played that role.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao's expression had stabilized a lot, Gu Chen spoke again: "Apart from these, you have nothing to say?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head blankly, not knowing what Gu Chen meant.
"..."
Gu Chen was speechless when he saw Xiao Xiao's appearance, and finally he could only speak directly to Xiao Xiao's fluke: "For example, why did you avoid me during the time before the apocalypse? Also, these six months, where have you been? And...why did that farmhouse disappear?"
Every time Gu Chen asked a question, Xiao Xiao's head lowered a little, and in the end, she finally raised her head and returned to its original position. Xiao Xiao stared at the cup in her hand, as if there was a flower at the bottom of the cup.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was an ostrich again, Gu Chen couldn't push her too hard, so he could only change the subject, so as not to scare her away again.
"Forget it, you don't have to say it if you don't want to say it... Do you have a place to live now?"
Xiao Xiao was relieved to hear that Gu Chen was no longer pursuing it. She really didn't feel ashamed to answer those questions, and the last question?.. In the past two days, she was like a stray cat, and the dark history of not renting a house at all can't be said, so Xiao Xiao's answer was to shake her head, indicating that she had no place to live.
"Okay!" Gu Chen is quite satisfied with Xiao Xiao's answer. It seems that Xiao Xiao is here to defect to him this time, and for this point, he will let it go.
"You stay here for a while, and I'll have someone handle it for you."
After Gu Chen explained, he picked up the screen and prepared to call someone up to deal with Xiao Xiao.
"That..."
Xiao Xiao said embarrassedly seeing that Gu Chen still trusted her and helped her so easily.
Hearing Xiao Xiao's voice, Gu Chen's movements paused, and looked at Xiao Xiao suspiciously.
"Thank you!"
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was just thanking him politely, Gu Chen nodded and didn't say anything, but picked up the phone at hand and dialed it.
"Well, Xiao Li? Let Xiao Zhao come up with a communication device... Yes, I have something to do... Okay, come up quickly."
After Gu Chen explained, he put down the phone and explained to Xiao Xiao.
"When someone will come up, he can help you with the ID card, do you have any other questions?"
"That..." Xiao Xiao asked with some doubts: "If it is a survivor who came in from outside the defense line, the ID card is needed. How do you do it?"
"What?" Gu Chen was a little strange, didn't he already say that someone would help her handle it later? How could Xiao Xiao ask such a question?
Xiao Xiao has no problem, but don't forget, there are still two girls who were put to sleep in the small fort by Xiao Xiao! These two ID cards are still a problem.
Although it was a little strange, Gu Chen simply explained it to Xiao Xiao.
"Well... let's put it this way, before entering the second line of defense, wouldn't it be necessary to observe for a day? At that time, it will be checked according to the information provided by the survivors, and if there is someone, an identification certificate will be issued, a bit similar to the previous ID card... why are you asking this?"
Xiao Xiao said a little embarrassedly: "No, I will bring other people with me this time, but I didn't take the usual route, so they don't have any identification..."
"Then, what about their people?"
Gu Chen frowned, shouldn't Zhang Zhongbo just throw people downstairs?
"Cough, they are not coming with me now, can you..."
Gu Chen thought about it for a while, and then said: "I'll ask Xiao Zhao to give you two temporary passes later, you can bring someone when you're free, okay?"
"Yes, then thank you!"
Not long after the two of them chatted, Xiao Zhao, who was in Gu Chen's mouth, knocked on the door.
"Marshal Gu, I'm Xiao Zhao, can I come in?"
Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Chen immediately raised his voice: "Yes, come in!"
...
After the chaos, Xiao Xiao's identity certificate was finally done. It came down, which also contained two temporary passes, with the words that Xiao Xiao was the guarantor.
"The first contact person, Gu Chen?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the contact person line a little strangely. Did she fill this in just now? Why can't she remember?
