Chapter 1506: Surviving the Doomsday 41
Jack hadn't come back by morning, and no one had come.
Xining had no choice but to take Casey to kindergarten and then to the hospital.
It seems that everything is business as usual, but there is an undercurrent hidden under the calm.
By noon, Jack came to the hospital. The military epaulettes on his body indicate that he has become a major.
I got promoted and jumped so much in just one night.
There was no trace of fatigue on Jack's smiling face, but it was shining: "The recruit company will be mine from now on. Lieutenant Colonel Davis said that this title should be enough."
She smiled too, and she knew why. But he still pretended not to know anything and congratulated him, feeling happy for Jack.
It wasn't until the third day that the news came. Three senior military officers made an appointment to negotiate in the office for the position of commander, and also invited Davis, but Davis did not attend the appointment because he did not want to participate.
The three men pulled out their guns and started shooting each other when they disagreed. Two people died and one was injured on the spot. The injured person called a doctor for first aid. Because the injury was too serious, he was rescued on the spot. Anyway, that's all the equipment and medicine, and there won't be more rescue equipment in the hospital.
The injured colonel could not survive and died after two hours of first aid.
Sure enough, she secretly thought of many ways, such as three people rebelling, but she didn't think of this.
In this way, if people from the three parties miss old friendships, they will naturally hate each other and transfer their conflicts to each other. But Davis came out clean, without any stain on his body. This is the best way!
The commander sat in front of the camera and announced the matter sadly. Everyone was very surprised by this, but they also thought it was normal. After all, in today's world, laws and military regulations no longer apply. Whoever has a gun in his hand is ruthless.
Xining looked at the commander on the TV. He had gray hair and a gray face. Even the handsome military uniform could not hide his old look. It doesn't look like it won't be long before Davis takes over. It depends on whether the commander "died of illness" or retreated bravely and retired to live in retirement.
After another half month, the commander voluntarily gave up his position to Davis, and a formal ceremony to give up the throne was to be held.
Shining wore a military uniform and attended the ceremony as a member of Jack's family and as herself, Captain Lewis.
Sitting in the second row, sitting next to her was Casey. Kathy was wearing the best clothes she could find. Jack said it cost him a piece of chocolate, which he got from a civilian area. In fact, she knew that Davis should have sent someone to do it, or Davis should have reminded her.
As the site leader, Jack was not present. Xining saw him standing in the corner and looked around cautiously. There were many soldiers deployed inside and outside the entire scene. From time to time, guards would come over to whisper and report, and he would respond immediately. Jack seemed to have become Davis' confidant.
Sitting in the first row were Davis and several captains. In the process of attrition, all officers above the school level have been depleted. The population of the entire shelter has increased from 15,000 to 9,000. Those who survive are all winners, and the biggest winner today is Davis.
The entire handover ceremony was broadcast live. The old commander gave a brief but humorous farewell speech and invited Davis to the stage.
Davis, who was sitting in the first row, stood up, adjusted his uniform and military cap a little, and walked to the podium. He must have been professionally made up. He looked even more handsome in his military uniform, and he looked full of energy.
After shaking hands with the old commander, Davis stood on the podium, took off his general hat, and began his inaugural speech.
Davis looked a little gloomy wearing a military cap, but after taking it off, his broad forehead was revealed, and the light shone on his face without any obstruction. The young face with not many wrinkles and handsome appearance were guaranteed to be safe. Support from women in the institute.
After talking about improving life in civilian areas, organizing post-disaster reconstruction, encouraging childbirth, etc., Davis announced: After exploration, the outside world is basically accessible. Starting tomorrow, the door will be opened to let everyone out. See the sunshine!
Suddenly cheers and screams came from the entire shelter, and even the ceremony was full of joy. Xining smiled and touched the little head of Casey, who was also laughing and screaming next to him. He raised his head and saw Davis standing on the podium, with a handsome smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to be looking ahead. In fact, Keep staring at her.
No wonder he put her in the middle just to see her... Xining was stunned for a moment and then extended his thumb.
Davis, who was not wearing a military cap, turned his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips became wider.
Next was the party, but Xining did not attend. Instead, he took Cathy back with the excuse that the child could not stay up late.
There will be alcohol at the party, and there is no guarantee of what will happen after a few more drinks. Even if there was nothing, Jack was protecting Davis's safety, but she and Davis were flirting with each other. She really couldn't deal with a master god with her personality.
The rooms have been changed from the second area on the grassroots floor to the middle and high-rise areas. In the innermost family area, the second bedroom has been changed into a third bedroom. The extra room can be turned into a study room or a children's room for family members with two children. house.
Although the water supply here is still limited, taking a bath has been reduced from two minutes to five minutes, and you can wash it every day. The domestic water consumption per household has increased from nine liters to half a cubic meter, which is enough to flush a toilet.
The food treatment was better, and there was a bottle of red wine, half a dozen beers, and an ashtray on the table. Jack didn't smoke. He took the pack of cigarettes he received every month and offered to change some clothes and jewelry for her, but she refused.
According to her suggestion, he distributed it to his soldiers, making his subordinates love and hate him.
I hate that the training is so hard, but Jack is with me the whole time. We also know that we sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. When the cigarette is in hand and everyone smokes it laughingly, the hatred will naturally disappear, leaving only reverence.
Not being able to attend the party left Cathy pouting, talking about so and so and so and so, and why she was the only one who couldn't go.
"Because Daddy is maintaining the safety of the scene, he will be distracted when the baby is around. The baby doesn't want Daddy to be distracted, right?" Xining helped Casey take a bath and change pajamas.
Someone knocked on the door, and Xining, who was urging Casey to finish his bedtime chores, shouted: "Who?"
The person outside the door shouted: "I'm here to deliver something."
"Here you go... brush your teeth quickly." Xining pointed at Casey and went to open the door.
Don't worry about the water meter reading outside the door. If you really want to kill her, even the iron door can't stop her.
Opening the door, a soldier came over: "General Davis ordered me to bring some food, and asked me to tell you that Major Lewis can't take care of you now. Please forgive me." He handed her the bag in his hand.
"Thank you!" She took it, and the soldier gave a military salute and left.
Close the door and open the bag. Casey ran over and shouted: "Fries and cream cake!"
Kids will be kids, and these things make Kathy happy. The fine steak, caviar and rare champagne were naturally given to her.
"Mommy, can I eat it?" Cathy asked timidly.
Dinner has already been eaten, but this time is an exception. She smiled and said: "Eat."
