8mi Chapter 471 The Upcoming Conference
Chapter 471 The Upcoming Conference
What happened on the vast sea was unknown to Dazhou.
Time passed, and days passed quietly.
There is only one week left before the Spring Festival.
The upcoming meeting of the Night Watch Division has affected the attention of the entire Zhou Dynasty.
Tinder, Dawn... No matter what organization, they all set their sights on this conference.
Total recruiting conference.
The casualties caused by the hunting operation, the replacement of generals, and the comprehensive conscription policy will all be discussed at this meeting.
Sea of clouds.
Wang Ji Baozi Shop. (Chapter 147)
Wang Youshun took a rag and wiped the table.
Half of the hair ribbon is silver, and the wrinkles on the face also show a bit of age.
People in their forties look like they are in their fifties.
"Boss, please bring some steamed buns with pork, scallions, and pork and three delicacies. Eat them here. By the way, bring me a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. Add more pepper... There are so few people today."
A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked into the store.
"I've been waiting to watch the conference today, but there's not a lot of people there." Wang Youshun raised his head and smiled, "It's a coincidence that you're here. If you were ten minutes later, I would have been ready to close the store."
"It's only around seven o'clock. The store is closed so early." The man pushed up his glasses and said suddenly, "You're going to watch the conference soon, right?"
"No."
Wang Youshun's wife opened the drawer and took out two steaming buns.
She said with a bit of anger, "Xiao Liu, you don't know, our Lao Wang started talking about the conference half a month ago. He is a bun seller, so he doesn't understand the conference."
"Screw you, who said I can't understand?" Wang Youshun, who was preparing egg drop soup in the kitchen, laughed and scolded, "This is a full-scale military conscription. What if I are recruited? I won't be able to listen carefully."
"Boss, you've got to worry too much." The man with glasses found a seat and sat down, smiling, "Comprehensive conscription is aimed at young people. At your age, even if you pass the conscription, you won't be able to fill your teeth with aliens. "
"That's true." Wang Youshun also smiled.
However, the hint of sadness between his brows did not diminish.
An old man in his forties is not required to be drafted into the army, but the eighteen-year-old girl in his family cannot be sure.
In today's world, there are alien species everywhere, and no one is safe.
Night watchman mortality rates are not disclosed.
But news of a dead person cannot be hidden.
The child of the second uncle's neighbor's house downstairs was a night watchman. When he was on some mission, he lost a leg.
The child of the distant second uncle of the owner of the melon stall opposite is a night watchman, mentally polluted and half-crazy.
The second son of an old man who often came to his shop to buy steamed buns was a night watchman. He was transferred to complete the task and disappeared.
They always say that the situation can be stabilized, but disability seems to be a normal term for the night watchman.
"Hey Lao Wang, what are you doing? The soup isn't ready yet?"
His wife's shouts brought him back to his senses.
"Oh...oh, okay, here it comes." Wang Youshun quickly broke the eggs and stirred them up.
A bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup was quickly prepared and served to the table.
"Here, egg drop soup with more pepper."
Wang Youshun brought it happily.
The bespectacled man took half a bun in one mouthful, and his mouth was full of oil. He swallowed it, "Okay, I have to eat it quickly. After finishing it, I will go to the company."
"Are you going to be late so early today?" Wang Youshun picked up the rag again and started wiping the table.
"Don't mention it. We all have to arrive at the company early today and watch the conference together. If we are late, we will deduct money."
The man glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
There's still forty-five minutes left, there's still time.
…
Yunhai Cemetery.
The woman in a black and white dress looked back at the cemetery, then looked away.
Pull the car door open and slam it shut.
"Tail number XXXX?"
The uncle driver asked.
"Yes."
Xu Lin put the white bag on his lap, turned his face, and finally took a look at the cemetery.
The vehicle started and drove into the distance.
The scenery on both sides swept back until the cemetery disappeared from the eyes.
"The girl is the night watchman?"
"How do you know?" Xu Lin was stunned.
"My girl is also a night watchman." The uncle pointed towards the cemetery, "You know the special training camp Sunset."
"Know."
During that brief sundown, hundreds of night watchmen and instructors including Lu Nanfeng died. How could Xu Lin not know about it.
"My daughter was among those sacrificed."
The uncle spoke as if he was telling something that happened to someone else.
Xu Lin pursed his lips.
She noticed that directly opposite the driver's seat, under the glass window, a small photo frame of a family of three stood quietly.
The woman in the photo does not have an outstanding appearance. She is wearing a night watch uniform and has a dashing appearance.
It's Zhang Jing.
Xu Lin recognized it immediately.
The two sides were not familiar with each other, but the victim was not weak at first, and Yunhai was such a big place. As a civilian, she was responsible for dispatching tasks and other aspects, so she naturally knew this.
"It has been more than half a year, and sometimes I still feel as if she is right next to me and not far away."
The uncle sighed, "Girl, the job of night watchman is indeed quite dangerous. If you can do a civilian job, you'd better be transferred to a civilian position as much as possible. It's safer."
"I am a civilian." Xu Lin forced a smile, "Safety... is only a relative term."
"Indeed, it's not completely safe for the Night Patrol Division to deal with alien species." The uncle lamented, "If we don't have a full-scale military conscription soon, I wonder what policy adjustments will be made."
"Probably, it will get better and better."
Xu Lin lowered her head, and the screen saver on her phone lit up. It was a photo of her and a young man with broken hair.
Lin Mo.
A civilian employee swallowed Yuanwang and died to save the children.
"Yes, Dazhou will get better and better." The uncle nodded.
The vehicle drove into the city and stopped in front of a residential complex for a moment.
"Girl, we're here." The uncle said slowly.
"Thanks."
Xu Lin took his bag and got off the car.
It's 7:40 on Sunday, 20 minutes before the conference starts.
…
"Xiaoyun, then Brother Liu will do some small business. He is very honest. You should consider it."
"Sister, I'm not in a hurry. It's only been more than half a year... I'll think about it when Hehe is older in the future."
"Xiao Yunyao, you look like you are thirty years old now. After your Deng Ke left, you were pulling He He by yourself. The children's education will cost a lot of money in the future. You can't keep supporting your children by setting up small stalls."
The woman at the door tried to persuade her a few more times, but when she saw that she couldn't be persuaded, she asked her to think carefully, then waved her hand and turned to leave.
After closing the door, the woman simply tidied up the floor.
"Mom, did someone come just now?"
A sleepy little girl in pajamas walked out of the room.
"Yes." The woman smiled and didn't explain much, "He He got up a little late today. Go wash your face and brush your teeth quickly. Let's have breakfast together."
"Know it."
The little girl had a childish voice and mumbled.
After washing, she sat at the dining table.
In the side corner, a portrait is placed quietly, along with its urn.
The expression of the man in the portrait is a bit sad, and it is frozen in place.
The woman stared for a few seconds, sighed slightly, and turned on the TV.
The clock moves toward eight o'clock in the morning.
A picture of the large conference hall appeared on the TV, and the camera panned over the faces.
"Hey, I think I've seen that big brother who just appeared."
The camera flashed by and He He made a sound.
The woman smiled.
As a kid, everyone looks familiar.
How could they interact with the people in the conference?
Anyway.
Just like that, under the gaze of a famous audience.
One week before New Year's Eve.
The comprehensive recruitment meeting of the Great Zhou Dynasty has begun.
