Chapter 26: Dawn Base
The white off-road vehicle traveled through the wilderness for several days. When the rain finally stopped, the group finally arrived near the Dawn Base.

The Darong Republic has three cities and sixteen towns. There is only one survivor base near Tianma City, Shuguang City, and Fenghe City.

Therefore, the vehicles entering the base lined up for several kilometers, stretching endlessly with no end in sight.

After several days of accumulated rain, a bright sunny day appeared. Jiang Jianxin opened the side window of the back seat to let the sunlight in. She leaned against the window and sighed:

"What a nice weather today."

Yin Ju, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Jiang Jianxin's sunny back and took a sip of wolfberry tea calmly.

"After three days of devastating rain, the new talents have probably all awakened. I wonder if the alliance can get any good ones this time."

Yin Ju tapped the tea on the lid of his thermos, silently worrying about the future of the alliance.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at him and saw that he was a half-grown boy with a frown on his face. The executive jacket and wolfberry tea he was wearing perfectly matched his nickname.

She twitched her lips and advised:
"Don't worry about things that haven't been decided yet."

Yin Ju frowned and nodded, then heaved a long sigh and took another sip of tea.

During the few days of traveling in the wilderness, Yin Ju's external injuries had mostly healed, leaving only the internal injuries caused by Jiang Jianxin's sword.

According to Zhao Ping'an, the sword injured his internal organs and he would need several months of rest to recover.

Although he was badly injured, this young man is first-class in both his mind and tolerance.

The moment he woke up, Yin Ju frowned when he saw Jiang Jianxin who had been tied up for several days, and then asked Chen Tong to untie Jiang Jianxin.

In the next few days, he also shared the food in his storage watch with her.

Sitting next to him, Jiang Jianxin felt like she had found an old father, but this father was younger than her.

Unlike the lively and active teenagers of the same age in ordinary human society, Yin Ju was like a cup of settled tea. He spent most of his time sitting in the back seat sipping tea and frowning in thought.

Occasionally, I check my phone to read serious news.

Jiang Jianxin had been sitting in the back seat with him these past few days, listening to national news for several days in a row. He had a basic understanding of the current situation and gradually became familiar with Yin Ju.

"Master Yin, there are a lot of cars at the entrance of Dawn Base. Should we go through the main gate?"

Chen Xinran, who had been driving with bated breath all day in the driver's seat, leaned his head out from the front and asked cautiously.

There had been continuous heavy rains in the past few days. When she first wanted to use the heavy rains to awaken her supernatural powers, she sat in the passenger seat with the car windows open and got caught in the rain for several days.

But for some reason, the disaster rain had no effect on her and even gave her a cold, so Zhao Ping'an had to divide his time to treat her while he was treating Yin Ju.

Therefore, after she recovered from her illness, her brother Chen Tong suggested that she drive to prevent her from causing any more trouble.

Although Chen Xinran was very disappointed, he had no choice but to sit in the driver's seat and act like a veteran driver.

She has been driving the car these days. Chen Xinran is no longer afraid of Yin Ju as before, but she is still cautious.

Yin Ju put down the thermos cup, glanced at the endless convoy outside, and instructed Chen Xinran:
"Pull the car aside first. Let's go straight ahead. I'll call the general manager."

Chen Xinran obediently parked the car to the side and looked at the passing vehicles and pedestrians curiously.

The Dawn Base covers a vast area and is now located in the outer city of the base. Vehicles have a unified entrance and can park in the underground parking lot inside. Then the people inside go down and register at the city entry window in front.

The entrance window was divided into two teams. One team was covered in dust and was obviously ordinary people.

The other team was dressed much cleaner and prettier, and from time to time, a glimmer of light could be seen passing by the window.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect the base to be so big."

Chen Xinran admired the magnificent outer structure of the Dawn Base. She looked at the young man with golden eyes and said awkwardly:

"Thank you for coming to pick me up, brother... Otherwise, I would have to join the crowd of ordinary people."

The young man with golden eyes closed his eyes, not even looking at her: "When we get there, get off the car and follow me. I will find you a house in the safe inner city."

Chen Xinran nodded obediently.

At this time, in the back seat, Yin Ju had already picked up his mobile phone and called the general manager. He put the phone under the thermos cup, slowly picked up the cup and prepared to drink some tea, looking unhurried.

"beep……"

"beep……"

"beep……"

The phone rang three times before being connected.

"Gulu——"

Yin Ju swallowed the tea in a hurry, somewhat surprised, and said vaguely:

"Nihao...Qingwen, is this General Qin Xuan?"

A cold and serious young female voice came from the microphone. Her voice was clear and powerful:
"Hello, this is the General Manager."

After confirming his identity, Yin Ju coughed twice and began to speak:
"...Good morning, General Qin. I'm Yin Ju. We completely eliminated the S-level contaminated area in Fenghe City six days ago. Unfortunately, the rainstorm delayed our journey, so we've returned to Dawn Base and are currently waiting at the base's north gate for Alliance pickup."

The general manager on the other end of the phone spoke clearly and concisely:

"Alright, Elder Yin, thank you for your hard work. I'm currently in the south dispatching the two major bases, Dawn and Chaoyang. The Dawn Base is now under the command of Deputy Si Rui Changming, and I've just notified him to pick you up."

After that, the phone went into a busy tone.

Zhao Pingan, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, heard the busy tone and said naively:

"Director Qin is still so busy. He can only reply to a few simple words on a phone call."

Yin Ju hung up the phone. He was quite surprised by this call, even a little flattered:

"Before the 'disaster rain', calls to the headquarters to report the incident took ages to get answered. How come now that there's a 'disaster rain', not only is she not busy, but she answered the call instantly?"

Yin Ju held the thermos cup and rested his chin on the lid. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"After waiting for less than ten minutes, I actually felt it was very informal, like I was contacting a yellow-haired general manager."

Hearing this metaphor, Jiang Jianxin laughed out loud, and Yin Ju also smiled embarrassedly.

Only when he was joking did he show some of the liveliness of a teenager.

I don’t know whether Zongsi is yellow-haired or not, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, a group of people did rush out from the side door of the base.

At the front was a pale, thin young man wearing a manager's uniform with a shiny silver badge on his left shoulder.

The group came straight to the car. Yin Ju opened the side window and shook hands with the leader.

"Nice to meet you, Deputy Director Rui. I haven't seen you before. Are you new to the position?"

Although they were both young, Rui Changming was obviously more worldly-wise and slick. He showed a perfect smile, nodded and said:

"Yes, Elder Yin may not know that I was just promoted when you were sent abroad."

Yin Ju nodded and asked again:
"Then where was Deputy Director Zhu transferred to?"

Rui Changming replied:

"With the global pollution outbreak, Director General Qin is incredibly busy, so the Alliance created a new deputy director position and promoted me to the position."

"Deputy Director Zhu has not resigned. She is in charge of the Hope Base in the west."
