Chapter 82 New Weapons
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear; it is Gu Yu who has arrived.
"Tangtang, open the door!" Gu Yu shouted loudly while knocking on the door.
Bai Tang quickly opened the door for her and let her go inside.
He went inside and brought her a glass of warm water, which Gu Yu drank a couple of sips of.
Then he said, "Let's go to the gun research institute now."
Bai Tang and Gu Yu, along with Gu Yanxu and Lin Zhou, drove off.
Lin Fan, Lin Feng, and Bai Jiyang were responsible for watching over the canned goods at home because they lost a game of rock-paper-scissors.
The research institute can only admit three to four people at a time, as it involves the base's secrets.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu both knew that things had taken a different turn in their previous lives, and that the country's attitude toward the disaster was different this time.
It's a positive and optimistic mindset; everything is moving in a positive direction.
Some research projects did not stop because of the disaster, but instead continued to move forward with difficulty.
The gun research institute at the Shengshi base has developed a new type of weapon that is easier for people to use.
The four of them drove and soon arrived at the entrance of the research institute.
After parking the car, Bai Tang and Gu Yu walked to the entrance of the research institute.
There were two soldiers standing guard at the entrance. When they saw someone coming, one of them said, "No unauthorized personnel allowed in."
Gu Yu took off her mask and said, "Xiao Liu, it's me, Gu Yu. I brought a friend to see Director Ji to confirm their eligibility to purchase items."
The soldier called Xiao Liu said, "Oh, it's Director Gu. I couldn't see you clearly because you were wearing a mask."
If your friend wants to go in, we'll need to check them for anything else, as is our routine.
Gu Yu turned to Bai Tang and said, "It's a normal procedure, don't worry, it'll be quick."
Bai Tang nodded to indicate that she understood, and Gu Yanxu and Lin Zhou also cooperated.
The search was completed quickly, and the soldiers opened the door to let them in.
As they walked in, Bai Tang teased Gu Yu, "Wow~ Director Gu~ sounds so imposing."
Gu Yu muttered under her breath, "What kind of imposing presence is this? I'm exhausted from dealing with data every day."
Bai Tang asked in confusion, "Why are you speaking so softly? Are you afraid of someone?"
Gu Yu said guiltily, "How could that be? I was just afraid of interfering with their experiments."
As they were talking, they arrived at their destination.
Gu Yu knocked on the office door in front of her, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Gu Yu opened the door and led Bai Tang and the others inside.
Gu Yu said sweetly, "Hello, Master~ I brought my friend who I'm talking about to make money to confirm his eligibility to buy the new type of weapon."
The man sitting in the chair grunted in response to hearing it.
"Give me two minutes, let me finish reading the documents I have."
Gu Yu fawned, "Okay, Master, take your time, no rush."
After reviewing the documents in his hand, Director Ji looked at Bai Tang and the others.
Then he instructed Gu Yu to take out the qualification certificate from the transparent cabinet next to him.
Gu Yu quickly found the certificate that Director Ji needed, and Director Ji took it and quickly signed and stamped it.
Gu Yu took the certificate and led Bai Tang and the others out of the office. Bai Tang and the others didn't get a chance to speak the whole time.
Bai Tang: "Huh? So fast, so smoothly. I had so much to say, but I didn't get to use a single word."
Gu Yu: "Oh, my master and his base have people who have already investigated who in our base is qualified to acquire the new weapons."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a big reputation. And look, this certificate already says that your entire squad is allowed to carry the new weapons.
Here, this proves you've kept it safe. Check the notification here for the specific time to collect your new weapon.
Bai Tang took the certificate and put it in her backpack.
As Gu Yu walked, she said, "Let's go. We can't stay here any longer, or we might leak information."
Bai Tang and the others followed Gu Yu through a maze of twists and turns before finally leaving.
After leaving the research institute, Gu Yu said, "You guys go back first, I'm going back to the institute to work."
Bai Tang: "Hmm, okay, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Gu Yu: "Of course."
Bai Tang and the other two got into the car and headed home. On the way, Lin Zhou said regretfully, "I thought we could get the new weapon today."
Gu Yanxu said, "What are you thinking? We didn't see any new weapons during our trip to the research institute. How could we let you take them directly?"
Bai Tang also said, "This is called 'good things come to those who wait,' and the base is there to ensure safety."
When they got home, Lin Fan and Bai Jiyang came over excitedly to ask them questions.
"How's it? What's the new weapon? What does it look like? Isn't it cool?!"
Bai Tang shrugged and said, "I don't know, I didn't see it."
Bai Jiyang exclaimed "Ah!"
Then he asked, "Does this mean we weren't qualified?"
Bai Tang said, "I was just kidding you. How could we not be qualified? We only went to get our qualification certificates today; we didn't see any new weapons."
No rush, it says to pick it up in a week, then you'll know what it looks like.
Lin Fan: "Sister-in-law, your heavy breathing scared me."
Bai Tang laughed and said, "Hahahaha, just kidding. You can't rush things. The certificate says our team is allowed to wear the new weapons."
Raymond Lam: "That's great, it sounds really cool."
After discussing the qualification certificate, Bai Tang went back to her bedroom for a nap.
She didn't wake up until Gu Yanxu came to wake her up for dinner.
I slowly got out of bed, yawning and saying, "I'm so sleepy, what's wrong with me? I'm especially sleepy today."
Gu Yanxu walked to the bedside, patted Bai Tang's head, and said, "Are you tired? Get up and eat before you go back to sleep."
Bai Tang got up, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and then went to the living room with Gu Yanxu to eat.
Bai Tang wasn't very interested in eating either, and she would only take a couple of bites of each dish before putting it down.
Everyone noticed Bai Tang's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Bai Tang: "I don't know what's wrong with me, but I've felt extremely sleepy all day today, like I could fall asleep anytime, anywhere."
In the afternoon, I forced myself to go to the research institute with Gu Yu, and on the way back, I kept yawning.
Gu Yanxu said, "Eat a little more. You're probably exhausted. After you finish eating, get a good night's sleep."
Bai Tang thought to herself, "I've been eating and drinking well every day, so I'm not tired at all. I'm just a little sleepy."
After quickly finishing dinner, Bai Tang didn't linger and went back to her bedroom to continue sleeping.
As a result, many people in the base suffered from insomnia that night, including Gu Yanxu and the others, but Bai Tang still slept soundly.
The next morning, Bai Tang got up and, seeing everyone gathered in the living room, couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with you guys? You don't look very well."
Bai Jiyang tearfully recounted, "I had insomnia last night."
Lin Fan and the others also said they couldn't sleep last night.
Gu Yanxu chimed in from the side, "Wife, I wasn't asleep either."
Bai Tang was completely confused: "So I was the only one who slept soundly last night? What's going on?"
