Chapter 1808

At four in the afternoon, when Xia Qing led her companions and a carload of purchased supplies back to the battle team station in the Green Dragon Battle Team's bulletproof commercial vehicle, Yang Jin, who was attending the year-end meeting of the battle team alliance, hadn't returned yet.

Xia Qing left two small gift items for him and returned to the territory with her allies by helicopter.

After the helicopter took off, Yang Yang Benming, who had been tense in the base commander's office, leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Great, the big boss finally returned safely.

Base commander Qi Qi Zhongye drank a sip of tea, "Do you understand now?"

Vice base commander Li Li Xuegang, who was sitting on the side handling work, raised his head, discovered that the base commander wasn't asking him, and continued to handle work.

The 1223 major explosion case, the poisoning case of fierce beasts in the Zone 3 Evolved Forest, the case of Huang Huang Wanmao stealing data from the Zone 3 Research Institute, and the invasion case of the Northern Evolved Forest of Zone 3—every case involved a wide range of issues, making Li Li Xuegang lose his hair crazily.

"Understood, Professor Fu is a human, not a precision instrument."

This afternoon, Yang Yang Benming went to the base commander's office to report on work and only then learned that the person taking photos of Xia Qing in the venue this morning was Fu Tianfeng, and subconsciously asked, "What did Third Brother do in the safe zone? Too dangerous!"

Now, Yang Yang Benming understood what the big boss had come to do and began to complain, "When you asked me to modify Lu Liang's information, I thought it was because you were worried about Xia Qing's safety and arranged a bodyguard for her."

Li Li Xuegang smiled, "If the base commander had told you directly, could you have been so natural when you were speaking on stage today?"

"That's impossible." If he had known in advance that the person holding the camera and taking photos of him was the big boss he worshipped, Yang Yang Benming would definitely have stuttered while reading the manuscript, "Xia Qing's courage is really too great. Base commander, did you really not send a single person?"

Qi Qi Zhongye picked up his tea mug, blew the tea leaves, and drank a sip of tea, "Xia Qing is just right like this; sending people would instead attract danger."

On the helicopter flying to the Northern First Zone, Tang Huai snatched the seat next to Xia Qing and complained to her chattering, "Sister Qing is too unkind. Not only did you not call me for lunch, but you didn't take me shopping in the afternoon either."

"Thought you were busy." With your annoying energy, if you had a meal and went shopping with Third Brother, you'd have to stay on the blacklist for another ten years.

Indeed busy, coaxing his grandmother to be happy, reporting the territory's annual financial report to his sister, and then being scolded by his sister because of problems with cost control and risk management.

Tang Huai sighed, stopped mentioning this, and discussed the year-end carnival of the Territory Alliance with Xia Qing, "For such a large organization as ours, we should have some activities at the end of the year, right?"

Wu Liu is having surgery tomorrow, and holding a carnival is prone to accidents, but Xia Qing didn't refuse directly, "You can hold it. I have to attend the Ninth Center's activities, and the work in the fields isn't finished yet, so I won't go over."

If the alliance leader doesn't attend, Third Brother, Sixth Brother, and Xin Yu definitely won't attend either, so what's there to hold? Tang Huai gave up this idea, "That's true, everyone is busy. Let's not hold activities for now. Shall we wish each other a Happy New Year on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

This is fine, Xia Qing nodded, "You take the lead then, and we'll follow."

Huh? Tang Huai blinked his eyes and started howling, "Sister Qing! I'm not talking about wishing a Happy New Year in the group! Third Brother has worked hard for a year; shouldn't we go over and wish him a Happy New Year? Sixth Brother just arrived in the territory, and we must also let him feel the warmth of the territory!"

Xia Qing answered calmly, "You can let Tang Heng ask Third Brother."

"If I ask, Third Brother will definitely say no need." Tang Huai took out his backup plan happily, "I'll go to Territory No. 7 and wish Third Brother a Happy New Year outside the door. If Third Brother says no need, I'll send my blessings at the door, hoping Third Brother will be safe and happy in the New Year."

Yan Brother Yue, who was organizing documents on the other side, silently glanced at the big boss who was flipping through photos with her peripheral vision.

Shi Mu, who went back to the safe zone to buy New Year's goods, took out a "Fu" character printed with the image of the Divine Wolf, "This is the Divine Wolf's Blessing I bought for Third Brother. I'll send it to Third Brother this afternoon and stick it on the door to seek peace of mind."

What a coincidence! Xia Qing smiled, "I also bought a Divine Wolf's Blessing for Third Brother."

Zhao Mu took out a lantern, "I bought a Divine Wolf lantern for Third Brother."

She Xing in the back row also took out a New Year's gift she bought for her son's life-saving benefactor, "I bought a Divine Wolf Peace Amulet."

Everyone took out the New Year's gifts they bought for Third Brother one after another. By the time they got off the helicopter, everyone had given Xia Qing a New Year's gift.

Zhang San and Xia Qing are the pillars of the Northern First Zone, so the allies naturally wouldn't only buy for Zhang San. Xia Qing accepted the gifts from the allies and also distributed the New Year's goods she bought to everyone.

Tang Huai got the "Fu" character from Xia Qing and howled that he wanted to stick it on his bedroom door to bless him to become the third top-tier sniper in Zone 3, and also stuffed two pieces of homemade green-light malt sugar to Yan Brother Yue and Lu Liang, "Sister Brother Yue, Little Lu, Happy New Year."

Zhang San nodded and didn't speak.

When Tang Huai was in Territory No. 2, he often eavesdropped on the Ninth Center. He remembered Lu Liang's voice, so as soon as Zhang San spoke, Tang Huai knew he wasn't the real Lu Liang.

"Thank you, Little President Tang." Yan Brother Yue thanked him and explained for the big boss, "Little Lu's throat is inflamed and he can't speak."

A sore throat is no small matter, Tang Huai urged, "Pay attention to rest. If it doesn't get better in three days, go to the infirmary to see if it's an evolved bacterial infection. Don't be careless about minor illnesses either."

The big boss holding the sugar nodded again.

Zhao Mu also urged, "Tang Huai is right, you must go see it, but don't worry too much."

If the medicine in the infirmary can't cure it, you can also find Third Brother. Everyone in the Northern First Zone firmly believes that there is no bacteria the big boss cannot kill and no illness he cannot cure on the Blue Star.

Shi Du comforted Lu Liang happily, "Maybe it's not an illness; maybe the vocal cords are evolving."

"That's true, Little Lu isn't thirty yet and is still in the evolutionary stage."

Everyone talked and laughed, returning to their respective territories.

Xia Qing took Yan Brother Yue and the idol back to the Ninth Center, and when she drove to deliver the New Year's goods to the idol, she carried the idol back to the office directly in her backpack.

After the germaphobic idol had thoroughly disinfected and changed clothes, Xia Qing handed over a large bag, "Third Brother, these are the New Year's goods I bought for you."

Zhang San, who was sunken into the soft seat, was quiet and peaceful. He dug out the toy he bought for Cat Princess from the purchased supplies and then sat back in the chair, "The rest are for you."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Xia Qing took out two large "Fu" characters and a pair of couplets from the bag, "Stick this on your door. Look at the side profile of this Divine Wolf portrait; it really is somewhat similar to the Northern Wolf King."

Zhang San responded and showed the photos he took, enlarging the faces of the people who were staring at Xia Qing.

The micro-expressions of those people who were hiding in the dark staring at Xia Qing, thinking no one noticed them, exposed their inner jealousy, greed, and filth without reservation.

Zhang San asked, "From the time you entered the safe zone until you left, many people found opportunities to approach you. Is this your usual style every time you go to the safe zone?"

Xia Qing, who was peeling a dragon fruit, answered truthfully, "About the same. But they only dare to do some small things in the dark; they don't pose a threat to me."
