It was really "someone handed a pillow if she wanted to doze off", but she didn't expect to meet Ding Gu Nian's group as soon as she came here.
Compared to before, Ding Gu Nian was surrounded by people, but now there are only a few people around him, including Peng Sheng and of course the gentle Shen Fu.
Hao Jian didn't want to meet them so quickly, so he went back to the clubhouse again, choosing to hide in the crowd and observe them secretly.
____
Lian Runing was following Le Yan to go through the relevant procedures in the reception room, but the process was a bit boring, so she stood by the wall and looked at the photos hanging on the wall.
Many of the photos above are official work photos taken during the search and rescue deployment. At the same time, the tragic pictures impact the viewer's vision, making them deeply aware of the cruelty of this world and the unity only under the strength of the country Consistency leads to vitality.
When Lian Runing heard the contacted officials ask Le Yan how the research on food crops was going, she pricked up her ears and listened for a while.
Le Yan said: "I'm not focusing on that research, but there should be good news coming."
"That's a pity," the official said.
Although Lian Runing and Le Yan did not ask carefully, they also noticed from his attitude of paying such attention to food crops that even if food is stored here, if there are no other crops for adjustment for a long time, then the development of human beings will take place a lot. changes, so the official now pays a little attention to food.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, the secretary opened the door, and the people outside hurried to the official's side and whispered a few words.
The official's expression changed, and then he said apologetically to Le Yan: "I have bad news to tell you two - the number of zombies in Pearl City has increased greatly in recent days, and the 'Wugui' gang is very active, and their scope of activities It spread from Pearl City to the surrounding area, including relevant institutions in Suzhou City, so the above ordered that in order to prevent the expansion of the incident and the leakage of secrets, the flight of non-escort aircraft was prohibited during this period."
Le Yan was slightly surprised, and then asked, "Can't we go there too?"
"For your safety, we will not arrange a plane for you here for the time being, and there will be no time to contact you there, so you wait here first, and I will wait until the order to lift the ban is issued over there. Arrange for you."
Le Yan frowned: "But this matter can't be delayed."
"I know, I will arrange it for you as soon as the ban is lifted. There is a guesthouse at the back, and I will ask someone to arrange accommodation for you. You can walk around here, but it is not recommended to run too far, then The refuge base on the side is also recommended not to go, after all, there are mixed people there."
After the officials made arrangements, only Leyan and Lian Runing were left in the conference room, and Lian Runing asked, "What should I do?"
Le Yan sighed: "Speak to the research institute first, if there is really nothing you can do, you can only wait for news here."
After the two left the conference room, the official staff had quickly arranged accommodation for them, Le Yan took the key to the room and said, "I'll contact the research institute first, you can do it yourself, if you have anything, come back to welcome you. Let's talk about the hotel."
Lian Runing nodded, then walked to the office of the refugee management office.
Originally, two members of the escort team were arranged to follow her to protect her at any time, but Lian Runing refused.
In view of the various control rules adopted by the refuge base, it can be said that except for the escort and individual personnel, no one can hide a gun here, and no one can walk down the street with a knife.
So even if someone wants to deal with Lian Ruling, they must first escape the heavy monitoring, as well as the police or security forces that patrol frequently.
She came to the asylum management office and planned to see if Hao Jian was here first, but before she could find Hao Jian, she saw a few familiar faces.
Ding Gu Nian's subordinates were pestering the front desk staff to ask questions, but judging from the expressions on both sides, their conversation did not seem to be very pleasant.
"We want to apply for an investigator qualification certificate, shouldn't you tell us how to do it?" Ding Gu Nian's subordinate asked.
The staff glanced at them: "Queue up for processing."
"… "
Ding Gu Nian seemed to be unable to bear it and stepped forward: "I'm not looking for some relatives, so you don't have a corresponding window to go through these related procedures?"
The staff also answered him: "As you can see, hundreds of people here are waiting to do things, and we don't have a window to handle things differently, so you can choose to wait or leave."
Ding Gu Nian was very angry, but he still held back, and finally ordered his subordinates: "Go and buy from the top ranked person!"
He turned his head and saw Lian Ruling who couldn't avoid it.
At this moment, the annoyance of queuing and the anger of being disobeyed all vanished. He walked over and said with a smile, "It's you, Miss Lian! What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come here too, and come with us. Is it?"
It had only been 14 days since they last met, and Lian Runing had left a deep impression on Ding Gu Nian last time, so much so that when Lian Runing appeared in front of him, he recalled it almost instantly.
As for the last time he almost coerced Lian Ruling and others to stay, he had the cheek to pretend it never happened.
After Lian Runing and others left that time, he also sent someone to follow her, but he didn't see any large troops. Later, after they evacuated, he slowly put her down.
But seeing her here again now, he thought that she must have followed them far away to come here safely, so he was a little excited and proud—to know how thrilling it is to pass through Chengxiang and Nanfang City, they all lost Many people have been damaged, not to mention that Lian Runing and his party can pass there safely, they must have rubbed off on them!
Luckily, Lian Runing didn't know what he was thinking, but when she heard the other party's words, she was still a little nervous. He smiled reluctantly: "It's a coincidence, I didn't expect to see Mr. Ding here."
"Miss Lian, you didn't tell me your name last time, but this time we meet again, I don't know—" Before Ding Gu Nian's words were finished, an arm stretched out beside him, and then moved them farther away. .
Eight Treasures Porridge, Eight Treasures Soup, Five Red Soup, Four Red Tonic Soup, Basa Fish Steak, Pickled Apple, Pickled Yam, Six Fungus Soup, Lingma Catfish.
Ding Gu Nian was about to frown, but found that another familiar and beautiful figure crashed into his heart and awakened his memory.
Hao Jian, who was watching a play, suddenly found out that Lian Runing was here, and she was entangled by Ding Gu Nian, so she could not take care of her previous decision of "pretending to be unfamiliar with Lian Runing", anyway, Ding Gu Nian knew that they were a group, so as long as she didn't show that she cared about Lian Ruling, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
When Lian Runing saw someone she knew and could rely on, she subconsciously grabbed Hao Jian's clothes.
"Hao, Hao—" Ding Gu Nian thought for a while, and Shen Fu reminded, "Miss Hao Shanshan."
"Yes, Miss Hao Shanshan, are you there too?!"
Peng Sheng looked behind them with his eyes, but he didn't find the familiar figure. He lowered his head and smiled, and asked, "He, in the end, is still too useless, is he dead?"
Hao Jian didn't answer Ding Gu Nian's words, but said to Peng Sheng: "I don't know if he died or not, but he found the courage, found himself, and bravely stepped out that way."
"To put it bluntly, do you still dislike him for being useless and drive him away?" Peng Sheng said.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing both felt that this question was too self-deceiving, so they did not answer.
"Cough, Miss Hao, Miss Lian, since we are so destined to meet again, why don't we sit down and have a good reminiscence?"
"I'm sorry, I have something to do." Lian Runing said.
Ding Gu Nian pointed to the mansion: "There are a lot of people queuing up here. Even if Miss Lian waits until the evening, she may not be able to wait."
Lian Runing was indeed frightened by the people here. Compared to here, the Refugee Management Office in the university town is simply too leisurely!
But it's no wonder that there are hundreds of thousands of survivors here, and the university town is basically a small number of people on the island.
Shen Fu also smiled and said, "I don't think Miss Lian is aware of the situation here, and I think it's only been a while since you came here, right? If Miss Lian and Miss Hao are still upset about what happened before, then I'll replace everyone here. We sincerely apologize to both of you, and please forgive me."
"Okay then!" Hao Jian said. Shen Fu had already spoken to this point. If she still had a cold face, it would not be conducive to her next actions.
Lian Runing was a little surprised, but she didn't ask much, she nodded, and Ding Gu Nian walked out happily. As he walked, he said: "There is a restaurant opposite the State Guest House. Although it has been converted into a dining hall, it is still a good place."
There doesn't seem to be much of a problem with this sentence, but Lian Runing still asked: "Has Mr. Ding been here for a long time, seems to be very familiar with the environment here?"
Ding Gu Nian said, "We have been here for two days."
Recalling the failure in the guild hall just now, he forced himself to defend himself: "But this is the first time I have come to this evacuee management office. How about you two? And your companions?"
Although Ding Gu Nian tried his best to hide, the look he looked at the two of them still revealed his thoughts. His eyes were so naked and full of aggression.
Hao Jian has always been able to pretend not to know, and although Lian Runing was a little cautious, she thought that Hao Jian might be approaching them with a purpose, so in order to cooperate with Hao Jian, she endured the discomfort.
"We all have our own things to do, so we are all busy for the time being."
Ding Gu Nian's eyes lit up, just as he was about to say something, he suppressed it again.
After arriving at the dining hall opposite the guest house, Ding Gu Nian's men drove away a few people and made an empty table and a few chairs for them. Here are European-style tables and chairs with a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. After sitting on the balcony on the second floor, you can still see the surrounding scenery.
"We just came here not long ago, and we don't know the situation here. I wonder if Mr. Ding can explain something to us?" Hao Jian asked.
Hao Jian's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and when he confronted them, he also lost the smell of fire and medicine before.
Ding Gu Nian and the others thought, if they were outside, they would definitely not be so proud. Isn't it because this is an official territory, and they can't use force to force them here
Thinking of this, Ding Gu Nian couldn't wait to go outside again.
It's not that he can't leave, but after he came here, he realized a problem - once there is official protection, some of his subordinates will no longer rely on him, and he will lose his dignity.
Two days after he came here, his subordinates dropped sharply from forty or fifty to twelve, and among them, his women also left one after another, leaving only three people.
Compared with his previous life, he was the emperor who dominated the life and death of others, and no one dared to disobey his orders. Before coming here, a group of people were also loyal to him, and the women embraced him and regarded him as the only life-light.
But he forgot that people's hearts are changeable. After learning that there is such a large refuge base, they were all shaken and left him one after another.
They even said to him: "I just need to chop down trees and set up tents, and I can get a meal, is it better than following you, rushing to the front and not having the dignity to come?"
He couldn't stop them, because as long as he dared to retaliate against them, he would be targeted by the authorities. For this reason, he had to give up his plan to stay here, and wanted to continue living his old days outside.
But he doesn't want to be the same as before, his team is just a nameless team. He hopes to gain official recognition while living a free and indulgent life that respects him, like a mercenary walking in a gray area.
After listening to Shen Fu saying that he could become a private detective by obtaining an "investigator qualification certificate", he was moved, because this certificate is similar to a travel pass, and it is one of the officially certified certificates.
With this certificate, they can travel to and from various places in the name of helping others, and they can also cooperate with officials and enjoy special treatment that is different from ordinary survivors.
However, I heard that this proof is difficult to complete. He personally ran to line up, but it was late, and even the line hadn't been lined up yet.
While thinking about how to get them, he told them some of the rules here. Of course, in order to create an atmosphere where the environment here is not very good, he deliberately picked some bad things to say.
"Although this is a large refuge base, because of the large number of people, it seems that water resources and electricity are not sufficient. Moreover, the medical conditions are poor, and there are only two small clinics. The food here is not much, although there are coarse grains, but It is difficult to eat meat, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc.…”
Hao Jian suddenly asked, "What's the investigator qualification certificate, and what's the use?"
Ding Gu Nian said a bit dryly, and said to Shen Fu, "A Fu, tell her about it."
Shen Fu pushed his glasses: "As we all know, the world order is in chaos now, and many institutions have stopped functioning. In the past, people could be contacted by making a phone call or sending a message, but now they have to go through the asylum management office. It is quite inconvenient to register and wait to find people.
In addition, agencies such as express delivery have also stopped operating, and the power of material transfer between different cities has become single, and can only rely on the official. This is a very cumbersome thing for the official, so this requires civil forces that cooperate with the official.
Although they are called investigators, they are actually like private detectives, either helping people deliver a courier, or helping people find someone, or helping the official do something. Only with this qualification can you move freely between cities. "
Hao Jian and Lian Runing had heard similar words, from "Brother Guards", but "Brothers Guards" did not mention any investigator qualification certificates, and Shen Fu and his party were able to inquire about these, too. Quite patient.
Hao Jian is also more curious about which level Ding Gu Nian has reached, but judging from his current state, it should not exceed level 5. But it has been more than ten days since they last met. Hao Jian believes that his level should not be lower than level 5.
If the difference in level between the two is not big, in terms of Ding Gu Nian's character, he has already learned to restrain himself.
Hao Jian also thought that Ding Gu Nian's "Investigator Qualification Certificate" would not be processed for a long time. Who put him on the official list? If he ran away and got out of their control, this would be the case. The scariest thing.
"Don't ordinary people want to live a peaceful and stable life after the crisis is resolved and they settle down? Mr. Ding, why are you still thinking about running out?" Lian Runing didn't know so many things, she just asked in doubt.
A glimmer of pride flashed on Ding Gu Nian's face, and he said in grand-sounding words: "Men are ambitious, there are still many people in the world who have not yet escaped their predicament. Since I have the ability, why don't I help them?"
Lian Runing had a moment of doubt, knowing that Ding Gu Nian didn't seem to have such lofty ambitions before.
Hao Jian understood his thoughts. Maybe he felt that there was no place for him here, and he couldn't even take out a gun in a fair manner, so he thought of going to a place where no one controls him? !
She also wanted to find out more information, but Shen Fu was obviously also very interested in their current situation.
"If you just came, did you go to register, and which district will you be assigned to?"
Hao Jian and Lian Runing were both arranged to live in the guest house, and they really didn't know what subdivisions were there. Hao Jian didn't know if he had a system map, because the system map could display buildings, but not the division of areas.
"We only came here temporarily to do business, so we stayed at the State Guest House temporarily." Lian Runing thought for a while and said.
Ding Gu Nian raised his brows, and Shen Fu's eyes flashed with surprise, then he smiled slightly: "So it is."
"You didn't come here as survivors?" Ding Gu Nian's attitude seemed to be much more correct, and his expression became more complicated.
"Well, it's not." Lian Ru Ning said truthfully, but did not want to say more.
Hao Jian smiled and got up: "Okay, it's getting late. We have to avoid the refugee management office and continue to line up. Thank you Mr. Ding for taking the time to help us answer our questions."
Ding Gu Nian felt that he had been tricked. The two did not come here as survivors, so they must have something to do with the authorities. In this case, they came to ask him questions about this place. Isn't that tricking him
He held back his anger and said, "I'm going there to continue queuing up too. In that case, let's go together!"
Hao Jian didn't say anything. She followed Lian Runing back to the mansion and asked, "Where is the line now?"
The staff member said without looking up, "Fifty-three."
Hao Jian thanked him, and the staff suddenly raised his head and asked, "May I ask your name?"
"Hao Jian."
When Hao Jian said her name, she felt the angry gaze from Ding Gu Nian and the scrutinizing gaze from Shen Fu.
"If Hao Jian, the recorder, please go to the second floor."
Hao Jian looked at the stairs thoughtfully, and practiced Ru Ning: "Go, I'll do my business here!"
Hao Jian winked at her and said, "After we finish our work, let's have lunch together at noon."
"it is good."
The performance of the two is not only acquaintances, but not too close, at least no one present can see anything.
After Hao Jian went up, Ding Gu Nian gritted his teeth and whispered, "This woman is so cunning. She even lied to us by her name. Maybe she didn't have many companions at all!"
The reason why he was angry was not only because Hao Jian was playing tricks on her, but also because she seemed to have privilege and a higher status than him, which made him a little unacceptable.
Shen Fu was not annoyed, he just thought about it with interest: "Hao Jian, the recorder, seems to be an official person."
He caught a glimpse of Ding Gu Nian's face, although he wanted to laugh, he restrained his smile and said, "So, Mr. Ding, look, only by dealing with the authorities can you gain such rights, be treated differently, and don't have to stand up. Wait in line here."
Ding Gu Nian felt that what he said was to his heart, he gritted his teeth: "Wait, wait until they are free to help me with the formalities!"
