Chapter 71 Potatoes
Chapter 71 Potatoes
When the little curly hair came out, he brought the fat man in the duty room with him.
"He can be regarded as a hostage anyway," said the little curly hair, "maybe there is some use. And after such a big incident, he probably won't survive. He cried and begged me, and I, I also ruthlessly Don't worry."
Although the beta force value is not good, there is a customary rule in the Federation, that is, excellent researchers must be respected.
Not to mention how he fainted just now, just from the way he follows the little curly hair now, the demeanor of following each step, in short, it seems that the credibility is not low at all.
After several people entered the elevator, the fat man hurriedly closed the fences with a smack, and smiled at Joshua and Gad in a flattering way.
Is a discerning.
Gad thought.
The little boy at the door had already woken up. He saw a group of people coming out of the building swaggeringly, raising their weapons and hesitating whether to shoot. The fat man waved his hand and shook his head, signaling him to leave it alone.
If it wasn't for the full resistance of the dozen or so people below, Gad would not have thought of killing them all.
These days, it's pretty good to be alive.
Gad stood in the middle of the main road, hooked his fingers behind him, and asked, "Is there any aircraft that can be used here?"
The fat man posted it obsequiously, but said, "Is it here? No more, there are no ones who can fly or not."
"What do you mean by that?" Joshua asked.
"Half a month ago, the military department sent people to take away the last batch of military supplies. The team of guards you met only arrived this morning. They came here specially to deal with the aftermath."
Gad: "What do you mean?"
Debella: "Destroy any details that might endanger the military department."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Joshua.
"Then how did they get here?" Gad asked again.
The fat man shook his head and said he didn't know, but he thought for a while and said, "Anyway, this kind of thing is disgraceful, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."
"Are there not many such disgraceful things?"
Debella sneered, and walked along the desolate long street alone, and the little curly hair followed quickly.
The fat man didn't want to curry favor with De Bella, so he decided to stay and walk with Gad Joshua.
"What do you know about those guards?" Gad asked.
Fatty: "I don't know, I've never seen it before."
Gad: "Then what do you know?"
Fatty: "I..."
Joshua's identity is a bit sensitive, and he didn't want the fat man to know his details for the time being, so he coughed a few times, and when the eyes of the two turned around, he said in a low voice: "Those guards don't seem to be combat troops. of."
"They belong to the engineering battalion," Fatty's original thoughts were interrupted, but he continued Joshua's topic, "It's an independent department of the military department."
Gad really wanted to ask, don't you know nothing, but he held back, and the fat man continued talking on his own.
"However, I heard people say that the boss of the engineering battalion seemed to be bribed, and the military department even set up a special investigation team, but nothing was found afterward. In addition to the tense battle, it was nothing."
In the end, he still looked a little regretful, and he didn't know whether he was suspicious of the military's ability, or he felt that there was indeed something wrong with the boss.
"Heard from someone? Who did you hear from?" Gad had a smile on his face, but his tone was very calm.
The fat man was slightly taken aback, and then echoed, "Ah, don't you believe it? Well, I don't really believe it. Who knows what those officials think every day."
Gad: ...
As a military industrial base, there were not many civilians living on Galileo [-], especially now that it has basically been abandoned, and they can't even see a single person now.
At the end of the long street is a row of low tile-roofed houses, which are obviously out of place with other buildings. In addition, no one has paid attention to it for more than ten days, making it even more lonely and decadent.
The sky had darkened a lot, and Gad decided to spend the night here.
It was a little cold at night, and everyone gathered around the fire to keep warm. Dai Bella found a few green and yellow potatoes, and a handful of moldy chestnuts, and threw them all into the fire to roast.
The fat man told the little curly what it was like here before, and Debella poked potatoes and chestnuts with dead branches, and turned to look at Joshua in the corner from time to time.
He has no expression, his face is slightly pale, his eyes are looking forward in a daze, reflecting the beating firelight, showing a bit of loneliness and loneliness.
Debella moved her lips slightly, but still didn't invite him to join in.
No matter what Gad's decision is, the only thing she can do is support, but besides support, she can't do anything else at present.
The broken door panel was obliquely blocking the door, and occasionally there was a sound of wind coming in through the gap, and Togo would prick up his ears vigilantly.
"Is this guy really not biting?" The fat man looked at the dog lying next to Joshua, and asked worriedly.
"Whether it bites or not, I suggest you stay away from it."
Little Curly's voice was so low that only he could hear it, but the fat man still nodded silently, even panting more carefully than before.
"Give!"
Debella turned out the baked potatoes, patted the ash on them, and threw one to Joshua.
Joshua divided half of the potatoes and put them in front of the dog, but he held the remaining half in his hand and didn't eat it for a long time.
The fat man ate his share in a few mouthfuls, still feeling a little unfinished, sighed and was about to lie down by the fire when he heard a rustling sound outside the door.
Dai Bella raised her hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, grabbed the dagger at her feet, and stuck herself to the door.
The crooked door was pushed open, and a thin figure barged in, crawling on the ground and turning twice before stopping.
Dai Bella stepped forward in two steps and pressed the shining dagger on his neck.
"Say, who sent you here?"
"Who else could it be?"
Gad stepped in wrapped in a cold wind, then turned around and put the door panel back to its original position.
"It's so cold outside!" He went to the fire and rubbed his hands, then turned to the little boy and said, "Come here!"
Debella still knelt down on one knee to suppress the little boy, but the little boy didn't show any timidity because of being controlled by others, but stared straight at the person who threatened him with his big black eyes.
"What are you two doing!" Gad urged, "Come here! It's warmer here!"
Debella let go of the boy's collar, put away the dagger and returned to where she had been sitting.
Little Curly and Fatty watched the whole process.
Gad took out a blanket from his bosom, shook the cold air in front of the fire, and walked to Joshua's side only after it was warmed up.Putting the blanket on his lap, the dog immediately leaned over, lay down next to Joshua's feet, and closed its eyes.
Seeing Debella pick another piece of potato out of the fire, the fat man couldn't help swallowing.
"I said there were quite a few!"
Dai Bella smiled and handed the peeled potatoes to Gad, Gad turned his head and went in front of Joshua.
"Honey, have you eaten yet?"
He brought the steaming potatoes to Joshua's mouth, but Joshua let out a soft breath and waved to the little boy standing in the middle of the room without saying anything.
The little boy was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the potato spread out in his palm, he rushed over, almost holding his hand, and ate the potato with the skin on.
"Oh, I don't have any children yet, and I have to help others raise their children!" Gad sighed heavily.
