Chapter 224: 223

223 Owning an Armored Vehicle

Du Yue thought about it for a while. “We can’t be hasty about this. Let’s ask Captain Zuo about the situation at the second base first!” They did not know much about the second base, but there should be some connection between the bases. They could only proceed to the next step after getting a general idea of the situation.

When the sweat from their training had mostly dissipated, Du Yue and He Xing went to take a shower, changed their clothes, and went out. Before they left, He Xing informed Zuo Mingdong in advance to make sure that he was free before they went to look for him. They were still more used to riding the electric bike at the base. Although the speed was slower, now that the bug disaster had been controlled very well, it was quite interesting to ride an electric bike around.

When they arrived, Zuo Mingdong had already been waiting for a while. The three of them went straight to Zuo Mingdong’s office. As soon as they sat down, Zuo Mingdong opened his mouth and said, “This morning, I went to see the survivors you brought back. They told me the general situation. If nothing unexpected happens, the base will send people into the city today or tomorrow.”

Du Yue and He Xing both nodded without saying anything. They were very clear about Zuo Mingdong’s work efficiency, so they did not need to worry about anything. Zuo Mingdong took out a folder from his drawer and handed it to He Xing. “You came to me today to ask about the second base, right? This is all the information I have. You can take it back and read it.”

He Xing did not stand on ceremony and reached out to take it. “Captain Zuo, you’re really efficient. Thank you!”

Zuo Mingdong laughed bitterly. “Don’t make fun of me. I should be the one thanking you. In terms of efficiency, the two of you should be the most efficient. We, a group of officials, can’t even compare to you. If it wasn’t for your timely arrival, who knows how many of these survivors would’ve survived? This morning, they specifically told me to convey their thanks to you.”

Seeing that Du Yue and He Xing did not respond, Zuo Mingdong felt even more helpless. “You’ve been together for a long time, and your tempers are becoming more and more similar. Forget it, I know you guys don’t like to hear such words, so I won’t say them. Since you’ve decided to go to the second base, I won’t stop you. However, you can’t leave for at least half a month. He Xing, you know that the underground city project has just resumed. You need to stay and help.”

“Don’t worry about that.” He Xing nodded and did not refuse. “I happen to have something that I need your help with.”

Zuo Mingdong sat up straight and said seriously, “Tell me. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely help.”

“It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to be so nervous.” He Xing smiled. “We still have a lot of contribution points left. Before we leave, I’d like to ask you to sell me something.”

“What do you want to buy?”

“An armored vehicle.”

Zuo Mingdong was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter. ” I thought it was something big. Don’t worry, I can definitely help you with such a small matter!” Zuo Mingdong was a straightforward and quick-witted man. He immediately took Du Yue and He Xing out to look at vehicles.

When Du Yue was preparing the supplies, she also learned about armored vehicles. At that time, she felt that if she had one of those, she would feel very safe. Unfortunately, an armored vehicle was not easily bought before the apocalypse. Du Yue had no choice but to give up on the idea. However, who knew that a chance would come her way? Now, she could actually possess it so easily! Du Yue was clueless when it came to picking the armored vehicle, but He Xing was different.

Du Yue did not express her opinion and merely listened to He Xing and Zuo Mingdong’s conversation. It did not take long for He Xing to pick a car. The car was very large with a width of 4.6 meters, a height of 3.3 meters, and a length of six meters. Just the weight of the vehicle itself was eight tons.

It had a domineering appearance, and the body of the car was a low-profile army green color. The body was made of bulletproof steel plates, the glass was explosion-proof glass, and even the tires were specially designed explosion-proof tires. Even though Du Yue did not know much about armored vehicles, she could tell at a glance that the car was domineering and mighty. She was very satisfied with it.

“Don’t just look at the outside. The inside is the real deal!” When Zuo Mingdong introduced the vehicle to them, his face was full of pride as he opened the car door. There was a long distance between the driver’s seat and the front passenger’s seat because there were all kinds of control panels in the middle. For a combat-type armored vehicle like this, comfort was not the most important thing during the manufacturing process. The most important thing was still its performance.
