"In this case, I'd better go out first."

Xie Ping'an was still confused, and Ling Shu on the side offered to leave.

Xie Ping'an came to his senses and nodded, "Okay. Then go out first, and I will call you after I finish talking to Captain Qiao and the others."

"Yes."

Ling Shu responded and gave a crisp salute, then turned and left the office.

"Captain Qiao, you just..."

After Ling Shu left, Xie Ping'an asked the doubts in his heart.

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and was not in a hurry to speak. She glanced at Jiang Zhan first, and saw Jiang Zhan nodded to her, then she said with relief, "Commander Xie, when did Miss Ling come to the base?"

"Xiao Shu was transferred to City G together with him before the end of the world." Xie Pingan squinted his eyes, with some doubt and uneasiness in his eyes, "Captain Qiao, what do you mean by this?"

He had some vague guesses in his heart, but subconsciously he didn't want to believe it.

Qiao Yu did not answer Xie Ping'an's question immediately, but continued to ask: "Then do you know what the usual relationship between Miss Ling and Chu Yi is like?"

The uneasiness in Xie Pingan's eyes became more and more intense, but he still thought about it and continued to answer: "I don't know about that. I usually don't pay attention to the private lives of my subordinates."

Right.

If Xie Ping'an knew about his subordinates' private lives, Qiao Yu believed that he would never reuse Yin Ji in the first place.

"Then can I ask, what tasks did you give Miss Ling before? What about the investigation she just mentioned?"

Ling Shu didn't mention the specific content of the mission and investigation just now, probably because Qiao Yu and others were present.

"It was a task to collect samples. I received a message that there seemed to be a mutated plant on the Xiajiang River that could purify water resources, so I sent her to take people to collect samples."

"As for the investigation... it's what you talked about last time about the 331st Legion."

Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and moved her eyes to the document in front of Xie Ping'an, "So... this document is the result of her investigation into the 331st Legion?"

"That's right." Xie Pingan picked up the document from the table and handed it directly to Qiao Yu, "Captain Qiao can take a look."

Qiao Yu took the document, opened it, and glanced through it briefly. Her eyes finally stopped at the "Investigation Results" on the last page.

There were only three big words clearly marked there: No abnormality.

Qiao Yu breathed out gently, turned the page of the document, and handed it back to Xie Ping'an.

Xie Pingan looked at the contents of the document and remained silent.

Qiao Yu's tone was slightly solemn, "Commander Xie, through the interview just now and this document, I think you should have guessed what I am thinking. It's just that I can't confirm it yet, it will take some time."

"But before that, I hope you will try to maintain a normal attitude towards Ling Shu, but please do not assign important tasks to her."

When Xie Ping'an heard this, his body froze and he leaned heavily on the back of the chair behind him.He put the document aside, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again, like a prisoner who was suddenly sentenced to death, with a face that was half sad and half relieved.

"I understand. I will send..."

When Xie Ping'an said this, he suddenly paused.Then he was silent for a long time, and then suddenly gave a bitter smile, "I'm really ashamed. Xie has lived for most of his life and has experienced all kinds of storms, but now he finds that there is no trustworthy and available person around him..."

Qiao Yu and others couldn't bear to see the lonely look on Xie Pingan's face. Cheng Sinian pursed his lips and said, "Commander Xie, if you can trust us, leave this matter to us."

Commander Xie was silent for a while after hearing this, and then exhaled heavily, and slowly but firmly sat up straight again, "In this case, the matter of seeking verification... will trouble you all."

Qiao Yu nodded, "Thank you, Commander, for being so polite."

--

When Qiao Yu and the other three came out of Commander Xie's office, they happened to encounter Ling Shu walking towards their direction with a young man who looked to be in his early thirties.

Seeing Qiao Yu, Ling Shu showed a very friendly smile on his face, "Captain Qiao, have you guys finished talking to the commander?"

"Yes, Miss Ling." Qiao Yu smiled back, "Who is this...?"

"Oh, this is Researcher Li from the Survivor Base in City B. We met him by chance during the mission. Their team was separated and the other team members were uncertain about their lives, so I brought him back first."

City B?

Qiao Yu was very sensitive to this location and subconsciously looked at the man.

"Captain Qiao, where are you going next? I didn't see your car when I came back just now. Do you need me to take you there?"

"Thank you Miss Ling for your kindness, but no, we are also going to take a walk. But if Miss Ling is free, I do have something to ask you."

"Captain Qiao, you don't have to be polite to me. Please tell me."

"I would like to ask, will the base now set up a cenotaph for the martyrs who died?"

Ling Shu was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Qiao Yu to ask this question, but he still smiled and replied: "Captain Qiao, you also know that after the end of the world, there will be countless deaths. If a tomb is to be erected, it is possible The entire G city doesn’t have enough.”

"But I don't know which friend you want to pay homage to? If you really have needs in this regard, I can report to the commander and discuss it..."

"Oh, that's not necessary. Alas... during our mission to the exchange meeting in City A, the entire mercenary group that went with us was wiped out."

"We are friends with Colonel Chu at least, so we thought we would ask for him. If there is no arrangement at the base, then we can find a clean place outside the base to set up a tomb for him. There is no need to be special. Apply." Qiao Yu said the reason she just made up while observing Ling Shu's expression calmly.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Ling Shu's eyes flashed slightly and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

"Captain Qiao, are you saying that Chu Yi... died?"

Her tone was relatively calm, but her voice was so soft that if you didn't listen carefully, you would have thought she was gibbering.

"Alas." Qiao Yu pretended to look heavy and sighed, "Yes, it's also our fault for not protecting him."

"Does Miss Ling have a good relationship with Colonel Chu? If they do, I will let you know when the tomb is set up. Then we can go to pay homage together and see him off."

Hearing this, Ling Shu was silent for a while, as if in a daze. It wasn't until she heard the young man beside her suddenly cough twice that she suddenly came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Okay, I, I Although we are not close friends with Colonel Chu, we are still from the same hometown. If you have found a place, please let me know and I will go with you to set up a tomb for him."
