Chapter 197 Inexplicable Hostility
While Shen Yiyi was comforting Du Hongchangnan, she was secretly thinking in her heart:
"A female receptionist at a private tree armor company actually had the opportunity to meet the heir to the throne of a country, and she was free to choose not to accept the prince's love. This means that this woman's background must not be as simple as it seems."
Shen Yiyi glanced at Elizabeth out of the corner of her eye and quietly labeled her as "needing deeper understanding".
In this way, Miss Shen, disguised as Qin Xinghe, soon became good friends with Du Hongchangnan, and gradually established the image of a modification expert in the entire company.
A few days later, it was a day off. Shen Yiyi took a bus from the No. 33 satellite city where the company was located, directly to the city center of Xianghe Delta.
Like a tourist who had just arrived in a big city, she wandered around there for most of the day and bought some beautiful souvenirs.
Then after waiting for a while at an agreed place, a very ordinary-looking land vehicle stopped in front of her.
Shen Yiyi glanced at the license plate, then opened the door and got in without hesitation.
Today is the day to officially arrive at the Orange Army Headquarters and meet with the person in charge there.
The person driving the land vehicle was a very ordinary-looking young man.
He saw Shen Yiyi get into the car, and after confirming her appearance in the rearview mirror, he drove directly into the traffic flow.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the car seemed a little dull.
After a long drive, the land vehicle finally arrived near the energy plant in the suburbs of Xianghe Delta City.
This place is responsible for the energy supply of most of the city and is a vital place.
When the land vehicle drove into a very inconspicuous warehouse, the young man driving the car said, "Mr. Qin, welcome. Please follow me."
Shen Yiyi followed the young man's footsteps, crossed the warehouse, and entered a dilapidated small door.
Then, they turned into several dark alleys that were dark even in the daytime, and the sunlight could not penetrate. These alleys seemed to be forgotten corners, full of dust and debris.
At the end of one of the alleys, the young man pushed the door open without hesitation and took Shen Yiyi into a shabby room.
The room was empty, with a large hole in one corner. Through the hole, one could vaguely see the tall tower of the energy plant in the distance, which looked majestic and spectacular in the sun.
Passing this dilapidated room, there was a staircase in the corner leading directly downstairs. The two walked down step by step on the creaking wooden steps.
Their footsteps disturbed countless unknown small animals that were looking for food and making nests here, filling the entire space with a strange atmosphere.
Finally, they reached the basement at the bottom. It was still empty, but the environment was much cleaner, and the air was filled with the scent of energy liquid.
The young man took out a long key from his pocket and gently placed it in the corner of the room.
After hearing two "beep" sounds, a gap as wide as a person appeared in the corner of the wall.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a metal elevator room.
Its brand new and glowing material formed a sharp contrast with the tattered and dirty outside, as if they were two completely different worlds.
The two walked into the elevator, the gap closed automatically, and the elevator began to move downwards.
With a slight buzzing sound, the elevator moved downward for a long time before it came to a heavy stop.
With two more "beep" sounds, the elevator door opened.
All at once, the roar of transport vehicles, the command of soldiers to line up for drill, and the smell of gunpowder after the firing of firearms all rushed into the elevator room.
This turned out to be an enormous underground military base!
According to the location, this base must be located directly below the energy plant. Shen Yiyi secretly admired:
"Takeda Nagayoshi is really smart. The radiation from the energy plant, the heat it emits, the large number of electronic equipment, and the noise from the transport vehicles coming in and out can all effectively protect the military base below it. I really have to give him a thumbs up."
The information that Takeda Nagayoshi gave her showed that the Orange Army had a total of six bases like this, located in four different cities.
Because the capital of the Riyuan Kingdom, Xianghe Taida City, is too large and has many satellite cities, there are three bases surrounding this city.
The place where Shen Yiyi came to was the one with the largest area and the most hidden troops among the three bases.
She followed the young man's footsteps into the base, and along the way she saw many soldiers in training and a large number of military equipment.
It can be said that Takeda Nagayoshi devoted countless efforts and sweat to the development of these bases.
This is the foundation of the Orange Army and the source of their strength.
Each base is home to tens of thousands of people, and their food, clothing, and military equipment needed for daily training are astronomical figures.
Without painstaking efforts, it would be impossible to achieve such a level of perfection.
You know, the fighters here are completely different from those Orange Army members who live in disguise as civilians on the ground.
They are all the most rigorously vetted and loyal fighters.
They have been confirmed dead in official records on the ground and among their families, if any.
They are all the elite soldiers and generals that Takeda Nagayoshi has accumulated bit by bit in the foreign wars in the past decade. They are also the main force that can seize power in the future.
In the words of Takeda Nagayoshi, these warriors hid their identities and abandoned their identities for one thing: to sacrifice for the equality and liberation of their own nation. Their loyalty and courage are admirable.
Shen Yiyi followed the young man and walked a long way, passing through several training grounds and camps.
She looked at those faces that were somehow very unfriendly and the provocative gestures, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
I wondered why they were so hostile towards me who had just arrived here.
At this moment, the words that Takeda Nagayoshi said to her before leaving came to Shen Yiyi's mind:
"I handed the Orange Army over to you not because of your outstanding command ability, but because I hope you can teach these soldiers to protect themselves and not make unnecessary sacrifices."
"You know, they are the most respectable group of people, and the ones who are least afraid of sacrifice. But, they are also the most pathetic group of people."
"It is precisely because they have been oppressed for so long that they hardly regard their own lives as something very important. Instead, they place so-called dignity at an extremely abnormal level."
