The commander's office is located on the 11th floor of the underground.

Walking out of the elevator, Xinyan immediately felt a completely different decoration style from the ground hall.

On the long corridor ahead, there is a bronze statue every ten meters. Most of them are replicas of similar sculptures from ancient Greece. The names of Xinyan alone include "The Three Goddess of Destiny", "Venus", "The Goddess of Victory", etc. Most of the originals of these statues are incomplete, and the reproduction is naturally impossible to be complete. They are quietly arranged on both sides of the corridor. At the end, the corridor becomes a stairway rotating to the upper floors.

Xinyan was speechless about this weird architectural style. This was similar to the feeling of forcing a staircase to deliberately create a leap. The staircase was dimly lit up and down, and the overall color was brown-black, very heavy, full of the old atmosphere of a classical castle. However, Xinyan did not feel that this approach had any cultural precipitation. Instead, it felt like the nest of some kind of mutant creature, full of darkness and dullness. Just standing there made people feel that it might suffocate at any time.

From the corridor to the second floor, there were four checkpoints. With Xinyan's eyes, it was not difficult to see that all the guards were second-level strengthening people. This surprised her. Because most of these guards were soldiers, and even if they led the team, they were just warrant officers. Their ranks and strength were obviously not equal, and they did not comply with the regulations on intensified potion injection stipulated by the military.

Ziwei has always accompanied Xinyan and Jiang Wanqi, and can keep a sufficient distance. This approach is obviously because of respect, and to reduce unnecessary trouble. After all, both women have been married. Although Jiang Wanqi is a widow, any scandals will not affect them after all. Since it is to help the other party, then just do it beautifully.

After a few simple refusals, Ziwei humbly turned his body and asked Xinyan and Jiang Wanqi to walk into the room.

The first thing that catches your eye is tall and thick. In terms of tone and style, it is as heavy as the corridor outside, exuding a strong authority and powerhouse office desk, as well as a lot of similar furniture.

An old man of medium figure sat upright on a high-back chair, staring silently at Xinyan and Jiang Wanqi walking into the room with cold, emotional gazes.

He was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, with the buttons open, revealing a wrinkled shirt. His neck was very short, and he was pressed against an old skull with dark yellow skin. His eyes and forehead were full of wrinkles, and his cheeks were covered with brown old spots. His sparse hair was almost completely white, and there were two large areas at the roots, which were very obvious black patches.

Looking at this unpretentious old man, Xinyan's mind flashed quickly through his mind. The corresponding information about the commander of the 19U Group Army on his computer was seen on the computer.

Chen Shang, 76 years old, Lieutenant General.

After a simple but essential etiquette, the conversation begins to get to the point.

"The guards outside are blind people with open eyes."

Chen Shang obviously did not intend to give Xinyan any good face. His expression was as cold as his eyes: "I am not as confused as I am. During this period, the person I meet is not you. But they are going to put you in... It seems that there must be some supplementary soldiers on the front line."

Although it has not been explained, the meaning I want to express is clearly visible.

Xinyan frowned slightly.

She felt that Chen Shang was obviously hostile and did not welcome him. Moreover, the other party emitted a very uncomfortable smell. It was a special smell that only the old man had, which was sour, rotten, heavy, and a faint body odor.

"General Chen, I want to ask for your help."

Xinyan suppressed her inner unhappiness, showed a kind look, and smiled, repeating the words in the hall. At the end of the words, she earnestly made her request.

"The 19U Army and the 11th Independent Force are friendly forces. The distance between Xinliuzhou and Xinguiyang is not too far. Our request is not excessive. I hope that you can support some of our food in order to be a friendly force, and the amount depends on your convenience. This is not a force, but a plea. If the military headquarters asks about this, we will take the initiative to bear all responsibilities."

"Haha, take the initiative? It sounds nice."

Chen Shang touched his bald head with almost no hair, and sneered in a unique old and majestic manner to match his age and moving average. His eyes remained on Xinyan. To be precise, it should be sensitive positions such as chest and legs. Despite his age, the effect of strengthening agents on the human body is very obvious. Even now, Chen Shang still has the strength that is not inferior to that of young people in terms of men and women.

“The 11th Independent Force has a serious problem.”

Chen Shang's deep pupils stared at Xinyan, focusing on his straight and slender legs. His words were cold: "The military refused to provide supplies, which is enough to show his attitude. Resistance to orders is the greatest guilt of the soldier, and no matter how many achievements it is enough to offset. You should have considered these issues when you left Xinnanyang. But then again, you are actually very lucky. If you were in a peaceful era and in the world before the outbreak of the virus, you would have been sent to the military court for trial, rather than standing here and chatting about topics like justice and evil with me."

The meaning is clear enough.

Xinyan's eyes dimmed and she sighed indefinitely. She turned her head and found that Jiang Wanqi's face was also full of disappointment.

Su Hao’s shortage of food is only temporary. As long as he spends the first few months and when the construction of the new Guiyang base enters a period of stability, all problems can be solved.

The food obtained through the "Hongguang Group" greatly alleviated hunger, but no one knew what difficulties would be faced in the future? In order to ensure that the military and civilian sentiment in the new Guiyang area remained stable, Su Hao spared no effort to collect more food sources. In addition to Zhou Xiaohan, the "worker bees" in various large and small strongholds, as well as various mercenary groups, were acting, gathering more materials from all directions.

Of course, Xinyan would not watch his man suffer in front of him. Under her order, the entire family group took action immediately. The military and widows all used their relationship to search for food from the military or the civilians. However, due to the overall environment and the pressure of the military, Xu Renjie could not give them too much help. The logistics branches of the 71st Group Army could only secretly transport a small amount of supplies and instead transferred them to the new Guiyang in a civilian manner. Although this practice is better than nothing, it is just a drop in the bucket. Naturally, the women began to turn their attention to the nearby areas.

The relationship between military families and soldiers is inseparable. Women who have experienced death have fewer concerns when doing things. They use their husbands’ relationships to build bridges through acquaintances to contact the heads of units. Since the requests made do not involve sensitive materials such as weapons, they more or less get some food out of favor. Of course, in this process, many officers have watched public videos of military meetings, and out of respect for Su Hao, they go with the flow and give women a lot of help in private.

It only took Xinyan and Jiang Wanqi two days from Xinchengdu to Xinliuzhou. The hard work along the way was ignored by them, and physical fatigue was just to raise more food. The "bee colony" is a whole. Whether Su Hao, the "Queen Bee", or the "Queen Bee" Xinyan, there is actually no difference between this issue and ordinary "worker bee" in this issue. If a large number of people starved to death due to insufficient food in the new Guiyang, then the entire "bee colony" will be affected and the overall strength will naturally be greatly reduced.

There is no intersection between Xinyan and Chen Shang. The only thing that can be used is her identity as an officer in the Guard Bureau. According to relevant regulations, she has the authority to meet with the commander of the group army. However, whether the other party will agree to her request to provide help is another matter.

Thinking about it now, I am still too naive.

After all, not everyone is Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian. The orders of the military headquarters still play an important role in most soldiers.

Xinyan is also preparing to have a second alternative, that is, the energy potion left by Su Hao. She believes that if she takes out this kind of thing, she can at least exchange it for some supplies from Chen Shang. Although the quantity is small, it is better than none.

The other party's attitude made Xinyan lose interest in continuing to talk. She didn't plan to put forward the trump card of energy potion. Her attitude determines everything. Since the subjective consciousness rejects it, no matter how many chips you have, it will be wasted. You get the benefits but don't want to give anything. There are many such people, and Chen Shang is one of them.

"Sorry, I'm disturbing."

Xinyan put away his thoughts, bowed forward, and planned to take Jiang Wanqi away.

"Wait for a moment"

Chen Shang stopped Xinyan's movements with a word. He was still sitting upright, but his eyes on Xinyan's body became hot. The wrinkled eyes released a strong light, as if two hands were stroking Xinyan's body over and over again.

"Different views on things do not mean that there is absolutely no negotiation about certain things."

Chen Shang did not have the fatigue that the old man should have at this moment, but instead acted like a young man eager to try. He leaned on the back of the chair with his hands crossed, staring at Xinyan with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth, not hiding his desires deep in his heart.

"Food needs, this is your request. I'm not interested in helping the 11th Independent Forces. However, if you hand over these supplies to you and you are responsible for handling them, the meaning will be completely different."

The old man's eyes looked like nails, and even Xinyan felt that her skin was tingled with a slight itch. This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable, like being entangled by a terrible snake, cold and wet, just wanting people to get rid of it as soon as possible.

She smiled politely and shook her head and refused: "Thank you no longer need."

If Chen Shang said these words a few minutes ago, Xinyan would definitely feel happy and think that the trip is worth it.

Now, Chen Shang's attitude is very clear, but he said something like being willing to help. His purpose and intention are clear at a glance. Xinyan only felt boring and disgusting. Apart from leaving as soon as possible, she had no extra thoughts.

The conversation ended, and Xinyan took Jiang Wanqi out of the room as quickly as possible. When the door closed behind her and made a collision sound, Xinyan also breathed a long sigh.

She had no respect for this old man, only endless boredom.

Xinyan is the general's wife.

In Chen Shang's opinion, this is far more interesting and more attractive than the officers of the Guard Bureau.

Human thinking is really strange. Just like fans admire celebrities, they would rather exchange everything for the signature of a big-name person. To put it bluntly, that kind of thing is actually not worth a lot. Of course, beautiful actresses are still in good health, but now they are different from the past. The beautiful halos on their bodies are gone, and the faces of their cosmetics are actually not much different from those of the neighbors. The sow with "Zhang Ziyi" hanging around their necks is far more valuable than a woman named "Zhang Ziyi". Chen Shang's thinking is the same. He can appreciate ordinary beautiful female officers, but he is quite moved by the beautiful general's wife, and even finds it difficult to control his increasingly strong desires.

When he dragged his heavy steps back to the parking lot and sat in the truck cab, Xinyan felt as if he had been exhausted all over his body, and even his thinking became difficult.

The 19U Army is a huge organization. The headquarters is just the core, and there are military defense zones of different sizes on its periphery. According to Xinyan's plan, she originally wanted to start from the headquarters and search for all the military chiefs of each unit from top to bottom. Of course, there may be many rejections, but they can be more or less helpful. Even in the end, only one ton or even a few hundred kilograms of food is better than nothing.

Chen Shang's attitude made Xinyan feel that the prospects were not optimistic. She regretted that if she had implemented the plan in reverse and listed the headquarters as the last stop, maybe the gains would be much greater than expected.

Xinyan is almost certain that Chen Shang will definitely order banning various departments from restricting their actions. He may even strictly order the circulation of materials in private.

Jiang Wanqi looked at Xinyan with concern and reached out to push her shoulder: "Don't worry, there are always ways. Since Xinliuzhou refuses to provide supplies, let's take a look elsewhere and take other side ways."

Xinyan said "yes" and nodded slowly.

Just as she was about to turn the key and start the truck, a figure suddenly ran over in front of the front of the car, rushed to the cab, and slapped the door hard.

It was the lieutenant colonel named Ziwei. He ran very fast and panting.

Xinyan rolled down the car window, his eyes were full of alert, and he asked calmly: "Is there anything wrong?"
