Chapter 46: The First Investigation
Having an idea, I braced myself and walked towards the big iron gate. Behind me came the unique sound of Secretary Qin's high heels, "Duoduo, wait a minute, I forgot to give you my ID card."
She handed over a red hard card, the size of a bank card, with only two black words on it: Military Department.
"This is your identity, Duoduo. If you encounter someone looking for trouble at work, show this card and no one will dare to mess with you. In addition, this is also your pass for entering and exiting the military headquarters and other places." Secretary Qin pointed to the door.
The guard, who was armed with live ammunition, said, "You are newcomers. They only recognize the card and not the person. You must carry this card with you!"
"Uh, okay." I took the card, and Secretary Qin turned around and went back downstairs with her thin buttocks.
Is this guy with such a handsome figure really a good choice for a colonel? I gossiped slyly and walked towards the guard with the card in hand.
"I want to go out." I waved the card to the guard, feeling a bit like in an American movie, "I am CIA~"
As expected, the guard recognized the card but not the person. I had gone in and out of this building several times, and he still looked at me with strange eyes, "Which department are you from?"
"Daily Affairs Department." I glared at him. This guard was a young man about twenty years old, standing upright and full of momentum.
The small door next to the big iron door opened, I walked out casually, and the soldier closed the door again with a bang.
After leaving the military compound, I felt like I was seeing the light of day again. I was obviously one of them, but I was completely out of it.
Let’s start from the small street in front of the villa where we went. After all, they can be regarded as neighbors. Whatever they lack, I will tell Sister Duo later, hehe.
This small street is also a villa. The colonel seems to be willing to arrange the survivors to live in the villa area. Those high-rise residential buildings located a little further away are empty.
The door of the first villa was tightly closed. I went over and knocked on it, "Is there anyone there? I came from the military department to investigate the supplies. Do you still have soy sauce at home..."
My ability to organize language is really embarrassing. I didn’t even know what I was yelling about. A man’s voice came from the door, “Wait a minute.”
After a while, the door opened, and a man wearing only beach shorts stood in the room with bare feet, "Hey, why isn't it Secretary Qin? Who are you?"
"My name is Duoduo. I'm new to the affairs department. Do you have any necessities that your family lacks? Let me write them down for you." After saying that, I prepared paper and pen.
"Condoms, the more the better. Hehe..." the man said with a playful smile.
"I also want a bikini, it's beautiful!" A young woman wearing thin underwear came out of the room, her hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and she had a lazy look on her face.
"Oh, I'll write it down." I just wrote a few words and then I realized, I wiped it out, the two of them were cooking rice at home in broad daylight! I came knocking on the door and was interrupted.
This made me so embarrassed that my face turned red all of a sudden, and I was afraid that they would see it and make it even more embarrassing. I could only lower my head and write those few words slowly, "Hmm, is there anything else?"
"Condoms, the more the better, hehe..." Damn this man is like a repeater, he has nothing else in his head!
"Nothing else, I'm leaving!" I turned around and ran out of the yard, and found that my face was burning like fire.
What kind of thing is this? What kind of job is this?!
But I can't know in advance what these people are doing at home, so I can't avoid embarrassing times.
Standing at the entrance of the second house, I was stunned for a while. Forget it, what the heck, I was here to help them replenish their supplies, and I wasn’t here to beg for food. What was wrong with this?
Taking a breath, I raised my hand and knocked on the door gently, hoping very much that no one was home...
The door was opened without warning, which shocked me. What did this family do?
Inside the door was a sluggish-looking old lady, about seventy or eighty years old. She was leaning on a cane and had a slumped mouth. She must not be wearing dentures. I thought to myself, otherwise her mouth would be bulging.
"Who are you?" Her voice was as old as her appearance.
"Grandma, I'm from the Daily Affairs Department of the Military Ministry. I'm here to ask if you have any necessities?" I raised the pen and paper in my hand to identify myself.
"Oh, Miss Qin is dead?" The old ***'s words made me sweat. "Secretary Qin is alive and well. I am new here. From now on, I will be responsible for collecting detailed material needs at your door."
"What a pity!" the old lady snorted. She didn't know whether it was a pity that Secretary Qin didn't die, or a pity that a good person like me had to do such a trivial job.
"Grandma, do you need anything?" I continued to ask patiently.
"Yes, my dentures are broken, I want them!" The old lady angrily propped her walking stick on the ground.
"Oh." I was about to remember, but suddenly I remembered, "You have to go to the hospital for dentures. Grandma, we can't find them outside for you."
"Is there a hospital on the island?" The old lady's expression suddenly became very confused. I fainted. The hospital on the island is not far away. Who doesn't know about it?
"Let me help you into the house." I helped the old lady into the room slowly, and then helped her sit down by the bed in the bedroom. There was a pair of dentures soaked in the cup on the bedside table!
The old lady is obviously suffering from Alzheimer's disease...
"Do you live by yourself?" I couldn't help but ask.
"With my son, no, with my daughter, nor with my old man." The old lady's answer left me speechless again.
"Can I hang around your house?" I decided that seeing is believing.
She ignored me, closed her eyes and dozed off on the big cushion at the head of the bed.
"If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent." I said while checking every room in the villa.
After checking all the rooms, I determined that the old man lived alone. There was no trace of a second person living in the villa. There was a dirty bowl and a pair of chopsticks left in the kitchen sink, and there were only one pair of slippers on the old lady's feet.
How pitiful... She was alone, but she didn't seem to be completely demented, sometimes sober and sometimes confused.
Finally, I wrote her down in the notebook: toilet paper, soap, salt, sugar.
They don’t have much of these four things at home.
After leaving the old lady's house, I went to the third house, and no one answered the door. There was no one at this house during the day.
The fourth family was a middle-aged woman who claimed that her husband worked very hard in a breeding farm and strongly requested me to help her apply to the military department for a salary increase for her husband. I felt that this matter was beyond the control of our department, but I also wrote it down for her.
.
The fifth family is a fool. He is young, about ten years old. He is quite pitiful. He only asks me for sweets. The middle-aged woman from the fourth family shouts at me from across the yard. His parents are both at work. No need.
Ignore him.
The sixth man was a fat man smelling of alcohol. He was sleeping at home. He didn't want anything but wine, any wine he wanted. After saying that, he slammed the door.
Is wine considered a necessity? I wondered while writing this down.
The seventh family was composed of two delicate little boys with an intimate look. They turned out to be a couple. They called me sister, in a coquettish tone, and asked me to help them get some candies and candles. It was quite romantic.
The eighth family member was a single woman in her twenties, with her hair hanging all over her face, a pale face, and a resentful voice. It scared me so much that I almost went to find Brother Fourteen to calm her down! After chatting for a few words,
I found out that she was malnourished. It turned out that she was allergic to seafood and did not dare to eat at Guanhai Restaurant. She could only eat some biscuits and instant noodles at home. At this time, the stock at home was almost exhausted, so she asked me to help replenish it.
There was a black Audi Q7 parked outside the ninth courtyard. It was the only car on this small street. Although there was no distinction between rich and poor in the apocalypse, this car still looked very eye-catching.
I knocked on the door for a long time before a male voice said impatiently at the door: "Who is it?"
I quickly identified myself and the door opened.
It turned out to be a young man in his mid-twenties, with wheat-colored skin, very tall, and visually estimated to be over 1.83 meters tall, with well-developed muscles. People say that Shandong produces big men. It’s true. I’ve encountered a few general figures since I came to this island.
?
The little brawny man was wearing a black tight-fitting vest and a pair of fat sweatpants. He yawned and asked the same questions as the others: "Is Secretary Qin still alive?"
I was speechless about Secretary Qin's popularity, "Excuse me, do you have any necessities at home? Let me remember them for you."
"There's quite a lot. I've already made an order. I'm just waiting for Secretary Qin to come. Here." He handed over a piece of paper, and I took a look at it. This guy's handwriting is more handsome than the other person's. Well, he actually looks better.
Very energetic too.
Just as I was about to leave, I asked too much: "You are neither old nor young, why don't you go to work?"
The little strong man held the door frame like an iron tower and said with a smile, "Sister, don't you know what I do?"
How would I know? I have only been on this island for a few days!
"What do you do?"
"I'm from the search department. I don't have any missions today, so our team will be free to move around." The young man scratched his short round head, "I heard that there is a new member of our team today."
Search Department Search Department, I quickly recalled the ministers, "Your minister is also a tall man, in his thirties, with a cold face and a beard..." I described it, but I just couldn't remember it.
What's the name of that minister?
"The minister and I are both 185," the young man gestured. "He is nicknamed Soul, and no one knows his real name."
"What's your name?" Since we are both members of the military, I wanted to chat with him more.
"Miao Long," he said, "what about your sister?"
"Just call me Sister Duo. The two new teammates in your department came with us. We just came to the island a few days ago."
"New people have been added before, but their performance was so poor that the minister fired them," Miao Long said casually.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. I felt nervous in my heart. Could it be that this soul knew about the colonel's spying on him? Then would Tang Xiao and Ye Gang also let the soul find a reason to kick him back?
"Our two little brothers are nice people. Please take care of Miao Long." I had an intuition that Miao Long didn't know anything, so I took the opportunity to do public relations for the two guys, "Sister Duo's family has delicious food, and I will definitely give it to you.
One serving!”
Miao Long chuckled, "Our department has a small number of people, and the minister has always had a headache. But he is a rigid person, and he would rather be absent than indiscriminate. If he doesn't like it, he won't stay, and we don't recruit anyone."
"What are the criteria for a soul minister?" I asked quickly, asking Tang Xiao and Ye Gang to catch up on their homework in advance to avoid being eliminated.
Chapter completed!
