Chapter 135 Reason
Father Gu chimed in, "You can go without worry then, I'll take care of things at home."
After dinner, Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu planned to go to the Base Administration Center.
Despite the still high temperatures outside, Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu set off on their electric scooter.
The two quickly arrived at the Base Administration Center, looked at the task panel for a while, but did not see the task they wanted to take.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu said, "Let's go back and come back to check on things tomorrow morning."
Gu Yanxu said, "Okay, go back and get some rest."
Just as the two were about to leave, Bai Tangsaw Staff Member walk up to the task panel with a piece of paper in his hand.
Staff Member added several newly released tasks.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu went over to take a look and found the mission they wanted to take.
The mission required five combat-capable squads, and Bai Tang promptly signed up withthe Staff Member.
The base system categorizes squads within the base into ability levels.
Some ordinary squads can only take on ordinary, non-dangerous missions.
Some combat-capable squads can take on important missions issued by the base.
After hearing Bai Tang tell them their team's name, the staff member checked their level in the system.
They quickly assigned the mission to their team.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu took the identity cards, and then Bai Tang said:
"Should we talk to Captain Zhao about this?"
Gu Yanxu said, "Let's go, we'll just be idle at home this early anyway."
The two quickly rode their bikes to Captain Zhao Lei's house, and Bai Tang got off to knock on the door.
Soon, Captain Zhao Lei's voice came from inside: "Who are you looking for?"
Bai Tang said, "It's for you, Captain Zhao."
Upon hearing Bai Tang's voice, Captain Zhao Leiquickly opened the door and let them in.
Bai Tang waved his hand and said, "We won't go in. We just came to tell Captain Zhao."
The task I mentioned a few days ago has been released by the Base Administration Center.
If Captain Zhao is interested, hurry up and pick him up before someone else snatches him up.
I've seen the requirements; they only need five squads with combat capabilities.
We've already accepted them; there should be four team spots left.
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao Lei quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll hurry and inform my team. I won't keep you here."
Bai Tang said, " Captain Zhao, go ahead. We'll be going now."
As Captain Zhao Lei spoke, he prepared to go home and ride his bike to inform the person:
"Okay, then I won't see you off."
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu leisurely rode their bikes home.
As soon as we got home, Lin Feng came over and asked, "How did it go? Can we leave the base?"
Gu Yanxu deliberately shook his head and said, "The mission hasn't been released yet."
Because the weather outside is too hot right now.
Therefore, the base requires its residents to generally stay within the base unless they have a mission.
That's why they wanted to take on a mission to get some fresh air outside.
Bai Tang chuckled. "He's just teasing you. We just accepted a mission."
We're leaving the day after tomorrow, so get some rest today and tomorrow.
Lin Fan yelled, "Great!"
Although the base was quite large, the group of them were already tired of staying there and all wanted to go out and explore.
After Bai Tang finished speaking with them, he returned to his bedroom.
Then he turned around and went into the space to take a shower. The space was like spring all year round, with the most suitable temperature for living.
Unfortunately, one cannot stay inside for long; after all, humans are social animals.
Living away from crowds, they may be materially well off.
However, on a spiritual level, if it's just a few of them communicating with each other, sooner or later there will be big problems.
Many people in Apocalypse have experienced various mental health problems.
This is one of the reasons why Bai Tang doesn't stay in the space with his whole family.
After taking a shower, Bai Tang spent some timein the space with Mu Mu and Canned Food.
He casually grabbed a bunch of grapes and started eating. Bai Tang is practically obsessed with fruit; he eats fruit every single day.
Gu Yanxu would sometimes peel and cut fruit into pieces and give them to Bai Tang.
Since Gu Yanxu is not in the space right now, Bai Tang chose grapes, which are easy to peel.
After playing with Canned Food for a while, Bai Tang said goodbye to Mu Mu and left the space.
At this moment, Bai Tang heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, which must be Gu Yanxu taking a shower.
Bai Tang put down the grapes he hadn't finished eating and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Gu Yanxu came out quickly, drying his hair.
"I thought you were going to rest inside."
Bai Tang said, "How can I leave you alone in an empty room?"
After saying that, Bai Tang lay down to rest, pointing to the grapes on the table next to him:
"These grapes were specially brought for you, have some."
Looking at the grapes that were only half left, Gu Yanxu said, "The grapes my wife picked are always the best."
Bai Tang rolled around on the bed with a blanket in his arms.
Gu Yanxu was eating the remaining half bunch of grapes under the bed.
He finished eating quickly, washed his hands, and came back to lie down and rest.
Gu Yanxu lay down on his side, reached out and hugged Bai Tang, then leaned in and the two shared a kiss.
Bai Tang pursed her lips and said, "It tastes like grapes, and it's sweet."
Gu Yanxu patted Bai Tang and said, "Next time, try some different fruits. Go to sleep now."
The two slept in each other's arms, with an air conditioner fan blowing beside them and a thin blanket covering them.
...
The next morning, they ate breakfast as usual.
Bai Tang said to them, "Mom and Dad, we're going out of the base tomorrow."
If things go smoothly, they should be back in a day; if things go slowly, it shouldn't take more than three days.
I'll leave you some supplies when I leave tomorrow morning. Use them as you see fit, and conserve what you don't need.
Father Gu said, "Okay, you can keep it as you see fit. Your mother has some too."
Bai Tang and his team were assigned to meet at 4:30 AM tomorrow and depart promptly at 5:00 AM.
They were going to wipe out that small base nearby where illegal immigrants were staying.
It's not just because they sent people to infiltrate the base, but also because they probably had weapons.
This is very dangerous for some ordinary people.
People carrying guns in the base are subject to the base's regulations, so they generally don't encounter any problems.
However, the armed men at the small base outside were not being restrained.
If they harm the people inside the base, it will be too late to deal with it then.
Therefore, the base chose to deal with them after finishing other tasks.
Those small bases are like malignant tumors near Shengshi Base.
If it's not cleaned up in time, problems will arise sooner or later.
After breakfast, Bai Tang put some things in the trunk of the SUV.
Lin Fan and the others put their backpacks on as well.
Inside were, of course, emergency relief supplies prepared for them by Bai Tang.
They carry it with them every time they leave the base for a mission, just in case.
With the preparations complete, Bai Tang felt relieved.
Just follow the base's arrangements; they are only responsible for following orders.
Bai Tang wasn't good at this kind of thing, which was similar to suppressing bandits.
Gu Yanxu said, "It should be the military leading the team; we just need to follow them."
