Chapter 5 - Neanderthal Today
"Young man, have you had dinner? I will take you to the cafeteria."
The old man was carrying a tool box in one hand and wine in the other. Ping's expression was very relaxed and natural. He was probably used to the surprised look like Chen Fei's.
After all, the Neanderthal army of the Third Age civilization almost beat the humans of Blue Star to death.
“No, I have bread!”
Chen Fei pointed to the plastic bag hanging on the suitcase.
It was filled with handmade bread that Shen Fei gave him. The portion was enough for him to eat for two meals. If he didn't eat it while it was fresh, it would be a pity to miss the best taste.
Handmade bread does not have various additives and is more likely to deteriorate if not stored properly.
"How about a young man who just eats bread? Order two side dishes and have a drink with me. I'll treat you. Then I'll take you to your dormitory. How about that? Don't delay things!"
< br>The old Neanderthal man showed off the wine bottle in his hand, a short cylindrical milky white glass bottle that Chen Fei was very familiar with.
The veteran is not short of money. This bottle alone is enough to cover Chen Fei's one-month probationary salary.
Chen Fei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
I am new here, so I can’t offend anyone by refusing easily. I have nothing to lose by having a drink with the old Neanderthals. Maybe I can learn more about this air base and make him faster. of integration.
"Well, Confucianism can be taught!"
The old Neanderthal man nodded, and led Chen Fei to the canteen of the air service base with a shaky step.
The canteen is open 24 hours a day, so you can eat whenever you want, and you can eat freely. There are not many people in the empty restaurant.
I asked the chef on duty in the kitchen for a portion of pig ears, a portion of beef tongue and a portion of dried drunken fish for dinner and dinner. Chen Fei followed the old Neanderthal man to find a table and sat down.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a huge roar from outside.
Looking out through the glass curtain wall of the canteen, two propeller planes descended from the sky one after another from far to near. The lowered landing gear landed lightly on the brightly lit runway. After gliding unabated for a while, the aircraft began to turn around and head towards the hangar.
Following Chen Fei's curious gaze, the old Neanderthal man skillfully picked up a piece of pig ear silk with chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and said vaguely: "There's nothing to see. , A-39B, a cheap big toy, buzzing in the sky like a big fly. ”
Chen Fei snorted, looked away, picked up the wine cup, and said, "Grandpa Barut, where is your family?"
On the way to the cafeteria, he learned about this Neanderthal The name of the old man, Balut, claims to be the younger brother of the Neanderthal hero Balulaka.
My elder brother Balulaka died on Socotra Island in the first battle of the "War of Three Realms Fusion".
My younger brother Barut survived the final battle when the Kerensha Palace of the Supreme Council was destroyed by the coalition forces of the Blue Star Realm and the Sky Realm. He became a prisoner and survived to the present, thirty years later. After wandering around, I finally came to the 911 air service base located in the Kush Mountains of Hindustan.
Like the newcomer Chen Fei, he is a worker for a private military contractor, and they can take care of themselves in old age without worrying about where they die and where they are buried.
"Family? Where do Neanderthals have any family? Today's young people are either enjoying themselves or throwing ashes. They have long forgotten the glory of the Neanderthals."
The Neanderthals The old man Barut tapped the war pattern on his forehead with his chopsticks. The bloody tattoo where he touched it shone slightly and let out a The silver light immediately extinguished, as if nothing had happened, and he continued: "The descendants of Neanderthals have almost forgotten their battle patterns and secret techniques. Come, come, come, eat food, eat food."
I served it to Chen Feiman conveniently. Drinking alone brings loneliness, but drinking with two brings atmosphere.
Barut is no longer the elite Neanderthal warrior who guarded Kerensha Temple. Now he is just a helpless and pitiful old man. He accidentally saw Chen Fei on the way to work. On a whim, he called the other person to have a drink with him.
“Huh? The braised vegetables taste quite authentic.”
After picking up a few chopsticks of tripe and beef tongue, Chen Fei accidentally discovered that these three snacks had not been poisoned by the heretic Kali.
"Hahaha! Hahaha, do you want to laugh me to death so that you can inherit this bottle of wine?" Barut, an old Neanderthal man, laughed so hard that he slapped the table and pointed at the master who was still working in the kitchen. The chef said with unabashed ridicule: "Don't believe that lazy guy, he only knows how to open vacuum packaging!"
So this is the truth!
Chen Fei was a little stunned. A chef like this could be made by anyone, and he could also unpack it.
Stop laughing, Barut raised his hands, covered his mouth and said: "He is a relative of Thakar, the personnel director. Well, stay away from Thakar. This guy is not a good guy."
It seems that it is already well known that the HR director likes it.
“I heard it, Balut!”
Boom! Chef Singer in the kitchen angrily slammed the rag on the countertop.
He admitted that he was a relative of Thakar, the personnel director of the air base, but he also took great care to cook for everyone, okay?
The reason why the 911 Air Service Base allowed Singh to serve as one of the two chefs in the canteen was mainly because of the low hiring cost of Takar's fellow workers. In a world dominated by tool men, cheapness is king.
The other chef can cook high-end meals, and his skills are just okay. If he is as bad as the unpacking chef, the entire base will have to rebel.
“Don’t be afraid of him, Carrot Head can only bluff, Xiao Chen, has your position been decided?”
Barut, an old Neanderthal man, doesn’t care about unpacking chef at all. He became angry and unconvinced, so he came over and treated the other person as an after-dinner exercise. He easily pushed the other person to the ground, and then said, "On the way home, I couldn't help but rub, rub..." My skateboard shoes!
"Director Thakar said that tomorrow someone will take me for induction training first, and then confirm the position."
Chen Fei just completed the registration procedure and does not know his position yet. It is necessary to wait until the induction training is completed before the position can be implemented.
Barut took out a piece of bread from the plastic bag that Chen Fei put on the table, took a bite, nodded and said, "Well, not bad, is this bread made by Teacher Xiao Shen?"
"Huh? Grandpa Barut, do you know Shen Fei too?"
Chen Fei was very surprised that this old Neanderthal man could identify the maker of the bread.
“Everyone in the entire 911 base knows that girl. She is a nice girl. The other chef can also make bread, but it is not so soft. The eggs used are eggs from feed chickens. It doesn't smell like eggs, but this one is different. People are old and have bad teeth. , I just know how to eat these soft ones, um, not bad, young man, bring me more in the future.”
The old Neanderthal man Barut continued to take a bite with relish, it seemed quite good. I liked the bread that Chen Fei brought. After finishing one piece in a few mouthfuls, I actually took another one.
The bread made by another chef Abel can knock the brains out of a living person, which is completely different from the bread made by teacher Shen Fei from the Pathan School near the base.
Chen Fei followed suit and took a piece of bread with pig ears, ox tongue and dried drunken fish, and then took a sip of wine. It tasted pretty good.

Beep, beep! Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
Chen Fei was woken up by the alarm clock on his cell phone. He opened his eyes and saw the light coming from the gaps in the blinds, as well as the suspended dust passing through the light.
B13, the dormitory area with modular design, is a single dormitory. It is square and square, with an area of only twelve square meters. It can only accommodate a set of wardrobes, a single bed, and a dormitory with a bookshelf. There is also a desk and a small shower-style bathroom.
Although the conditions were simple and did not even leave much space for personal activities or room for one more piece of furniture, Chen Fei was very satisfied with the fully-equipped dormitory.
I am just a newcomer here. The place where I settled has stable electricity and 24-hour hot water supply. The conditions are already quite good.
After hastily washing up and just hanging up the towel, I heard someone knocking on the door very hard.
There is actually a doorbell, but people outside don't like to ring it. Boom boom boom... the force is even greater.
