Ji Zhan and Jing Sa went back to the apartment to rest first. They had not been able to have a good rest outside the base. They even relied on compressed dry food for three meals. Even though they were evolutionaries, their bodies would still get tired.
While Jing Sa was cooking in the kitchen, Ji Zhan took a shower and went back to the room to change his clothes.
There was no mission in the evening, so she didn't have to wear combat uniform. She took out a white shirt and a gray pleated skirt and put them on, paired with a black tie and leather boots. These were still included in the novice gift package Lan Qian sent last time.
Sent.
In the past, the daily uniforms of the academy were also of this style. Although it was a special military academy, they were still young girls under the age of twenty. The academy would try its best to meet their needs in life, so girls were allowed to wear skirts.
Boys wear suits and trousers.
Ji Zhan stood in front of the mirror, tying her tie, and then straightened her long, disheveled hair. When not on a mission, she would dress more casually.
However, weapons that can be carried with you such as pistols and daggers will still be carried.
There was a knock on the door of the room, and it was Jing Sa's voice: "The meal is ready, come out to eat."
Jing Sa has taken care of three meals a day for the family, as well as housework and hygiene.
Ji Zhan came out of the room. Jing Sa had just taken off his apron and was slightly stunned when he saw Ji Zhan's outfit.
"What's wrong?" Ji Zhan noticed Jing Sa's subtle gaze and asked involuntarily.
Jing Sa put the two plates of omelette rice on the dining table and said, "I just suddenly realized that you have grown a little taller, and your figure... has also grown."
Jing Sa didn't mean to be frivolous, but Ji Zhan wore similar clothes to those in the academy three years ago, so in Jing Sa's eyes it seemed very different.
Ji Zhan looked down at herself, but she didn't feel anything at all. She raised her eyes and stared at Jing Sa, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, have you not grown at all in the past three years?"
Jing Sa, who was exposed to the truth by Ji Zhan: "...Okay, let's eat quickly."
When Ji Zhan saw Jing Sa changing the topic so obviously, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, with a hint of schadenfreude: "Is it true that you haven't grown up at all?"
Jing Sa could see that Ji Zhan was so proud. He stretched out his finger and flicked Ji Zhan's forehead lightly and said, "Even if I haven't grown in three years, I'm still one year older than you."
Jing Sa was originally four years older than Ji Zhan. During the three years he was sealed in the container, his body's metabolism stagnated. Except for his hair growing a lot, his height and weight remained at the same level as three years ago.
So now Jing Sa's age can be either twenty or twenty-three.
At this time, the sound of "Didi" sounded from the terminal, indicating that the reward points for this mission had been distributed to Ji Zhan and Jing Sa's terminals.
"It's only 600 points." Jing Sa took a look, and he obviously felt that 600 points was not enough as he always spent points like water.
After all, Ji Zhan likes to eat meat and fresh juice, and Ji Zhan's wardrobe is very empty now, so there are still many places to spend points.
Of course Ji Zhan didn't know what Jing Sa was thinking. He was used to living in outer bases. When he saw the 600 points arrived, he couldn't believe it, as if a golden egg fell from the sky and hit his head. "A lot."
Jing Sa glanced at Ji Zhan, who was stunned, and thought about how much hardship Ji Zhan had suffered in the outer base in the past three years.
Jing Sa used the terminal to bring up the blue virtual section, looked up the points instructions, and then learned about the points usage rules of the inner base while eating.
Evolvers who have just entered the inner base will be allocated accommodation based on their personal circumstances. The first month will be free of rent. From the second month onwards, the rent will be calculated at a price of 800 points per month. If you want to change accommodation after that,
You can apply again to relevant workers.
In addition to the points earned by the evolvers from their own missions every month, at the end of the year, each person will be ranked based on their mission completion rate, and those at the top will receive a certain amount of "year-end bonus."
There are also order rules in the inner base. Evolvers are prohibited from competing, fighting, and brawling outside the training ground. It is prohibited to bring people from the outer base into the inner base without authorization. It is prohibited to affect the normal operation of the sky train. It is prohibited to drive on the road and not obey the traffic rules.
There are many rules, big or small, and a large number of points will be deducted for those who violate them. The most serious punishment is not the death penalty, but expulsion from the base.
Evolutionaries already have power over ordinary people. If they are not strictly controlled, the living range of ordinary people in the base will become even narrower.
…
It was almost time for the meeting at eight o'clock in the evening, and Ji Zhan and Jing Sa took the sky train to the headquarters building.
Excluding the Evolutionaries who are still on missions outside and cannot come back in time, there are currently about 8,000 Evolutionaries in the base. The square under the headquarters building is wide enough to accommodate 10,000 people.
Commander Qiu and other senior managers have not come down yet, and the evolvers in the square are organizing a formation.
With so many evolved people gathered together, the scene was very spectacular. Many people hurried back, still wearing combat uniforms, and even their weapons were confiscated. Fortunately, the weapons were all subject to terminal control, and there was no need to worry about firearms because of the prohibition line.
Fire hazard.
"Jing Sa, over there, Investigation Team 1." Ji Zhan saw a person at the front of the square holding the flag of Investigation Team 1, and waved it vigorously left and right twice, which was very conspicuous.
There were many people around, so Ji Zhan followed Jing Sa, but Jing Sa walked a little fast, and Ji Zhan was bumped by the people next to him in order to keep up with him.
"Sorry, sorry." The person who bumped into Ji Zhan apologized quickly, and then went back to fighting with his companions.
The impact was not very strong, so Ji Zhan didn't take it seriously.
However, Jing Sa in front stopped when he heard the movement behind him, and turned back to look at Ji Zhan, his eyes dark and unpredictable.
Except for the few times when he was affected by Ji Zhan's emotions, at other times, whether he was happy or angry towards Ji Zhan, he was actually pretending to show it based on his previous memories.
He and Ji Zhan are like two opposite people. The expression on Ji Zhan's face is dull and monotonous, but her heart is as rich and beautiful as if it were filled with colorful flowers, while under his false appearance is a barren ice field.
He simply cannot produce emotions on his own.
He felt that he could pretend to be very good, but now looking at Ji Zhan, he suddenly felt that he had not done enough.
Jing Sa took two steps back, then took Ji Zhan's hand and led her forward, "Hold it, don't get lost."
Jing Sa thought that he could do better. He had lost the instinct to like, so he could only rely on memory and appearance to fill in the gap, constantly learning to be nice to Ji Zhan, and constantly improving the areas where he was not good enough.
If you tell a lie too often, it becomes true.
Maybe this is strange, but this is the only way he likes Ji Zhan now.
