…
On October 2, 2111, in the Gregorian calendar, the afterglow of the setting sun was still hanging on the horizon. Su Zixian went out early. According to the previous agreement, he was going to the supply depot on the front line to find a man named "Second Uncle"
.
With a glimmer of hope, Su Zixian first went to a nearby medical point, where Su Zixian could check his medical expenses, which used to be an astronomical figure.
"Beep beep..." Su Zixian stood in front of the machine and waited patiently. On the self-service machine at the last medical point, a large list of medical expenses was listed, and the final summary was in bright big characters.
"Settled!"
Su Zixian breathed a sigh of relief. The people at the party last night did not lie to him. They had indeed fulfilled their promise first, and they also said that they were friends of his father whom he had never met.
After choosing some over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs from the machine, Su Zixian walked from the road to the supply station on the front line.
Logistics supply station in Changxi City along the Yangtze River
On October 2nd, the staff in the supply depot were much busier than usual. Everyone was working enthusiastically according to the established arrangements. Su Zixian and a group of idlers stood at the door and waited for a long time.
Su Zixian had a rough idea. The people around him were all here for interviews, so they were all dressed more formally, at least in suits and ties. As for the price, Su Zixian didn't know.
"Follow me for the interview." A woman holding a tablet came down from upstairs and pushed up her thick glasses.
Uh-huh...
A large group of interviewers suddenly gathered around me.
Su Zixian sat in the waiting seat with a very reserved expression.
People were gathering in front of Su Zixian, but Su Zixian showed no intention of moving. After an hour, almost all the interviewers left, and Su Zixian was still sitting there blankly.
"Da da da..." A woman dressed as a secretary strolled up to Su Zixian from upstairs.
Two long black stocking legs suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Su Zixian was slightly stunned. When he raised his head, he saw a pretty face with a frosty look on his face.
"Are you here for an interview?" the woman asked coldly. Everyone on her list had already completed their interviews, but there were also people who failed the preliminary review and then found themselves. The woman had seen many such situations.
"No, no, no..." Su Zixian said inarticulately, waving his hands repeatedly.
"Then you are here to find someone?" The woman's expression was slightly relaxed. As long as she was not looking for trouble, she could accept it.
"Well... this... I'm here to see my second uncle." Su Zixian took out the dragon head token and handed it to the female secretary.
"This..." The female secretary held the dragon head token tightly in her beautiful hands. The golden dragon head on it frightened her. After calming down her emotions, the female secretary said to Su Zixian: "Come with me."
"Oh." Su Zixian followed closely behind the female secretary and boarded the only elevator in the dense work area.
Elevators are a very luxurious thing. Because the power is unstable in the apocalypse, elevators are generally not used by ordinary people.
Su Zixian cautiously walked with his female secretary from the first floor to b5. The beep when the elevator door opened was so loud in the quiet space, but it did not wake up Su Zixian who was in a daze.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see your second uncle." The female secretary reminded Su Zixian.
Su Zixian followed the footsteps of the female secretary and came to the brightly lit laboratory. Layers of glass separated the inside and outside. The female secretary stood in front of the only glass door and gently pressed the doorbell.
"Ding-deng-deng..."
"Leave everything to Zhou Ling'er, don't bother me if you have nothing to do." A heavy voice came from inside.
"Second uncle, an old friend comes to see you." the female secretary said.
"Come in." The voice inside answered with a hint of surprise.
"Click~" After a series of locking sounds came from the glass door, it peeled off and opened automatically. Su Zixian followed the footsteps of the female secretary and approached the central area behind these mysterious places.
Behind the messy experimental table is an old man with white hair sitting at his desk. The old man is sitting in a wheelchair and looks listless.
The protruding fish eyes looked at Su Zixian who came in. The female secretary handed the dragon head token to the old man. The old man flicked his withered fingers, and the token flew up and fell into Su Zixian's palm again.
"Who asked you to come?"
"My uncle." Su Zixian answered clearly.
The second uncle asked with a slightly unnatural look on his face: "Whose child are you?"
"I don't know..." Su Zixian replied sincerely.
"What's your name?" The second uncle asked in a different way.
"Su Zixian." Su Zixian replied.
"Your surname is Su? No wonder..." The second uncle was slightly startled, but he soon felt relieved.
Seeing that his second uncle was thoughtful, Su Zixian said directly: "Su Zixian has met my second uncle."
"It's not you who called me Second Uncle, you have to call me Second Master." Second Uncle roared with his beard and eyes wide open. Su Zixian quickly changed his words:
"Su Zixian has met the second master."
"Second uncle, what do you think we should do?" the female secretary pushed the tablet in front of his uncle and asked, as if this matter was beyond her ability.
"Add his name to the list, and the New Year's Day in two months will be the beginning of something big. During this time, you can help him make up for the lessons." The second uncle said clearly.
The female secretary asked in detail: "What did you teach him?"
"Teach him everything. As long as you know how to do laundry, cooking, and how to arrange management, all the expenses will be on my head." The second uncle replied solemnly.
"Then uncle, please sign."
"You girl, how can the second uncle lie to you?" The old man was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the female secretary, and the female secretary was also quite good at it. She directly typed out a detailed electronic draft of the commission and handed the blank area to the second uncle for signature.
He did not forget to say: "That's not necessarily the case."
The second uncle was speechless. The little girl Pianzi who used to work with him has become cunning now, so he didn't say much and just waved the big pen in his hand.
"Swish, swish, swish..." After signing his name, the second uncle sighed and said, "Is this okay?"
"Please press your fingerprints." The female secretary said without missing a beat.
"Okay, okay!" The second uncle pressed his thumb on the disposable column on the side.
The female secretary smiled respectfully at her second uncle, with cunning eyes behind her thick lenses. This girl was forced to do this in front of her second uncle.
"Then I'll leave first, ma'am," the female secretary said.
"Wait a minute." The second uncle stopped the two of them and said with a serious expression, "Su Zixian, leave your resume, I want to see it."
"I didn't bring it..." Su Zixian patted his pocket and said it was empty.
"Ling'er!" The second uncle waved to the female secretary, who handed the tablet in front of Su Zixian. It contained a personal archive and required her signature.
Su Zixian looked at the autograph area, hesitant in his heart and didn't want to start.
"Forget it, just talk about it." Seeing that Su Zixian was wary, the second uncle waved his hand and said.
"Oh, okay, thank you." Su Zixian thanked him quickly. He was used to being cautious.
The female secretary put away the tablet, then stood aside and operated on the tablet. Su Zixian didn't know what she was doing?
The second uncle listened quietly to Su Zixian's self-narration. The second uncle would interrupt and ask a few questions in the middle, and then Su Zixian's personal show would begin.
"So you have a sister at home, named Su Zihui." After listening to Su Zixian's explanation, the second uncle asked calmly.
"Yes, there is another neighbor named Li Ziran." Su Zixian nodded without forgetting to add.
"The injury you suffered in the shelter... was caused by a man named Fan Qingyuan? Is that right?" the second uncle asked softly.
"Yes, but that's what happened after I woke up. It is said that very precious medicine cured me. Thanks to the uncle for helping me pay off my debt." Su Zixian answered truthfully.
"You keep this matter in your heart. Don't tell anyone, including your sister. If anyone asks, just say you were bitten by a mosquito in the shelter." The second uncle told Su Zixian.
"Ah?" Su Zixian was stunned. He didn't expect his second uncle to be so caring, so he nodded and said, "Okay, second uncle, I'll remember it."
"Well, if you don't have anything else, just go out with Ling'er, she will teach you how to do things." The second uncle waved his hand and asked the female secretary to leave with Su Zixian.
"Okay." Su Zixian followed the steps of the female secretary and returned to the ground. On the fifth floor underground, there was only one second uncle left again.
In the empty laboratory, the second uncle sat calmly in a wheelchair, looked at the half-open glass door, and said lightly: "Come in, you're here."
The glass door slowly opened, and Su Dongcheng, dressed in black clothes, stood there silently, holding a black knife in his hand.
"Didn't you say you won't come to me? Why did you still send your son to me?" the second uncle said with a smile.
"You also said you would no longer care about my affairs." Su Dongcheng walked to his second uncle's side and said calmly.
"The child is innocent, and he is everything to us after all." Comparing the second uncle with Su Dongcheng, he looked even more aged, as if they were not from the same generation.
"The Mingchen Project has come to an end, what are you going to do?" Su Dongcheng asked.
