Haiyang was wearing a colorful printed T-shirt and a black bodycon skirt, swaying in front of Bai Yujing, almost dazzling Bai Yujing's eyes. Haiyang bent down to help Bai Yujing tidy up: "I say, you busy person really never stops, flying all over the world every day, gone for months without a trace. You just got back, barely warmed your seat, and now you're off again!"
Bai Yujing sighed: "I thought once I had money, I could relax all day. Who knew it would be busier than usual? Haiyang, your outfit looks great!"
"How about it? I tailored it for myself. By the way, I brought you a few sets of clothes, our company's latest styles, all loose sportswear, your favorite type!" Haiyang immediately said.
Bai Yujing nodded: "Alright, if there's anything suitable for me in the future, just fill my wardrobe according to my size. It's a hassle for me to go buy clothes!"
"Buying clothes is a hassle? No sense of style! People rely on their clothes just as horses rely on saddles. A person's attire not only enhances their taste but is also a form of etiquette and..." Haiyang immediately started rambling about their fashion design principles.
"Stop, stop, stop! As long as I'm comfortable in what I wear, that's enough. Don't overdo it; it's annoying to listen to!" Bai Yujing interrupted Haiyang.
Haiyang raised his head in dissatisfaction and glanced at Bai Yujing but suddenly laughed, pointing at himself: "I have to say, with your looks, it doesn't matter what you wear. Others are dressed by their clothes; you are dressed by yourself. Why haven't you been to the company lately? Our design department has many beautiful girls now, and several came specifically for you. But after a few months of not seeing you, they're all disappointed and waiting endlessly!"
"Isn't that your harem? Is it appropriate for me to go steal your thunder?"
As soon as Bai Yujing said this, Haiyang pretended to hit him, and Bai Yujing quickly retreated: "Hey! A lady shouldn't use her hands!"
Once they got into Haiyang's car, Bai Yujing immediately picked up Dudu from the back seat: "How come after a few months, you haven't grown at all? Honestly confess, have you been mistreating our Dudu?"
Totoro Dudu still had its little eyes bared with teeth showing, its long whiskers twitching with its big mouth moving constantly. Its fur was smooth and shiny. Upon seeing Bai Yujing come up, it immediately widened its eyes and grinned happily!
"Dudu!"
"You still dare to say? At home, if I miss one meal, it doesn’t affect it at all. Your Dudu is purely a money pit; it eats so much and even drinks beer! Just the money spent on its beer each month has already cost me dearly. I don’t care; I'm raising it like both a mother and father. In the end, I don’t even own it. I'm losing out too much!"
"I'll allocate Dudu's maintenance funds to you!"
"No need; just give Dudu to me!"
"Stop dreaming. If you keep talking, I'll hand Dudu over to Tangyuan and Xu Ying to take care of. Those two have been competing with me for this opportunity, but I'm considering our old friendship..."
Six hours later, after landing in Urumqi, Bai Yujing looked around and saw a man holding a sign waiting for him. After discussing with Old Wu, he understood what was needed and went back, while Ouyang returned to the branch in Guang City to continue his work.
In the past few days, Bai Yujing had organized his memories of the Atlantis Language into a document and printed out a dictionary at the request of Old Wu. This was an opportunity for him to compile it so that he wouldn't be bothered later if any issues arose.
"Hello, Mr. Bai, I am Zhao Di, responsible for picking you up this time!" Zhao Di was a soldier, and even in civilian clothes, his demeanor made it clear.
"Hello, I am Bai Yujing. Thank you for your help!"
After getting into a jeep, Zhao Di drove Bai Yujing towards the Tarim Basin. At eight o'clock in the evening, they stopped at a small village on the edge of the basin. They passed through an iron gate, and the surrounding environment gradually became desolate. Bai Yujing saw an endless expanse of desert.
Zhao Di told Bai Yujing that the villagers here had been engaged in afforestation. Long ago, the desert extended far behind them, but thanks to the villagers' efforts in gradually transforming the desert, the current situation emerged. He also shared some stories about the villagers.
Hearing this moved Bai Yujing. It was hard to imagine that people could persist in such a desolate place. Looking back at the vast forest behind him, it was these individuals planting trees one by one that created this oasis, blocking the wind and sand from outside.
After having dinner at a shepherd's home, around nine o'clock, Bai Yujing got back into the car with Zhao Di to continue their journey. Bai Yujing asked, "Why do we have to wait until night to enter?"
Zhao Di immediately replied, "That's the rule. You'll understand once you get inside!"
After driving to a certain location, Bai Yujing suddenly saw an entrance open up in the ground, revealing a concrete road with large amounts of sand and gravel scattering to both sides. He was startled; he hadn't expected that the so-called entrance would look like this. Was this base actually built beneath the desert?
Thinking about it, there really was such a possibility. Moreover, it seemed that Zhao Di didn't know how to enter either; after making a call, he drove here and mentioned that the entrance kept changing. With such tight security measures in place, Bai Yujing felt somewhat nervous; it seemed he was truly entering some special institution.
Although he had discussed his destination with Old Wu, coming here in person still made Bai Yujing feel excited and anxious. After all, he had only seen places like this on news or online before without any photos; now he was actually here.
Once inside the underground passage, they drove along a spacious underground highway and passed through several checkpoints where armed soldiers conducted strict inspections. Upon entering further inside, they arrived at a huge square beside the underground highway. There were many soldiers gathering there, and rows of planes were parked on the square; it was a small airport.
However, this Airport is underground. It is estimated that there is an entrance leading outside for takeoff, allowing for covert strikes at any time. Looking at the rows of fighter jets, such things are full of temptation for men.
"This underground space is quite large, isn't it?" Bai Yujing observed and found that this underground base was much larger than he had imagined.
Zhao Di laughed, "You’ve only seen a small part! This is just the tip of the iceberg; there’s much more behind it, and there are several such bases around here!"
Following Zhao Di, Bai Yujing entered deeper into the base. As expected, there were many people living inside. Bai Yujing saw numerous factories and production workshops, realizing that these were all part of the military-industrial complex. He also spotted a Nuclear Power Plant. Zhao Di informed Bai Yujing that this Nuclear Power Plant provided electricity for the entire base.
Finally, Zhao Di led Bai Yujing into what appeared to be a living quarters area. After entering the corridor, Zhao Di did not follow him in. "Someone is waiting for you inside!"
Bai Yujing did not suspect anything and wondered if it was Old Wu inside. However, upon opening the door, he found two men in Zhongshan suits with stern expressions waiting for him.
"Hello, you must be Bai Yujing, right? Please take a seat!" One of the men sitting down glanced at Bai Yujing and spoke.
Bai Yujing cautiously sat down. "Yes, may I ask who you two are?"
The man continued speaking, "This time the base has invited you as an external consultant. However, due to the high level of confidentiality at the base, we need you to cooperate. Do you understand?"
Bai Yujing nodded repeatedly. "I understand completely; I will keep everything confidential and won't leak a word!"
"This is a confidentiality agreement. Please read it carefully and sign at the end!"
