Chapter 208 Work Report
It was already very late when they returned to Dawn City. By the time Li Chenglong arranged the escort team and supply trucks, it was midnight. He didn't go home, but instead went to the central computer room on the 8th floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Han Xiaoling learning interstellar language from the upgraded central computer room's artificial intelligence, Lilith. Lilith was named by Erica, because Lilith's appearance was based on her mother's image, so Erica took one character from her mother's name and named it Lilith.
Hearing the door open, Han Xiaoling saw Li Chenglong walk in, looking somewhat tired. She happily went over to him, "Brother, you're back! Has sister-in-law found out yet?" Li Chenglong shook his head, "It's too late, I haven't told her yet. I have a report to write. You continue studying, we'll talk later." With that, he went to the row of crystal computers at the back, randomly selected one, and began writing his investigation report.
A moment later, a smart food cart slowly pulled up, carrying a cup of hot coffee, some fruit, and snacks. This was prepared by Lilith. After upgrading to Level 3, her emotional intelligence had become incredibly close to, and even surpassed, that of some humans. So, she had just remotely controlled a robot in the central computer room to make the coffee and bring over fresh fruit and snacks via the smart food cart.
Li Chenglong picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lilith." Lilith's 3D projection appeared next to Li Chenglong: "Master, is there anything else you need?" Li Chenglong waved his hand: "No, thank you. Also, please don't call me master anymore. Just call me City Lord or Li Chenglong."
After eating something, Li Chenglong felt full of energy and quickly started writing his work report. A little while later, Zhao Liying, who now lived on the 7th floor of the Shuguang Building with Chen Xiaoke, walked in. After greeting Han Xiaoling, she went to Li Chenglong: "Captain Li, do you need any help?" Li Chenglong checked the time; it was almost 1 a.m.: "Why did you come over? You're already very busy every day. Go and get some rest. I'll handle these things."
Zhao Liying smiled and said, "I wasn't very busy during the day. Han Xiaoling messaged me just now, and I couldn't sleep, so I came over to do something." Li Chenglong nodded, "Okay then, you help me organize it, and I'll write it down, or I can organize it and you can write it down." In the end, the two decided that Zhao Liying would write the report on the computer, and Li Chenglong would dictate some information. Mainly because Li Chenglong's various notes were too distinctive, and she couldn't understand some of them.
After two hours of hard work, the two finally finished writing the investigation report. Li Chenglong immediately sent a copy to Qianyun Base, the Northwest Military Region, and the Central Military Region. After finishing, he went to the crystal computer in charge of information and used voice control to instruct it to send a document to the offices of the ministers in Shuguang City and the offices of the divisions in the Dawn Army. He planned to hold a mid-to-high-level meeting on the second floor tomorrow to discuss the findings of the investigation.
The three of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Han Xiaoling said, "Brother, to make it easier to distinguish, my sister-in-law installed some nameplates on the 7th floor. Now, your and my sister-in-law's home is 701, Uncle Ma Tianlong's home is 702, my godparents' home is 703, Sister Xue'er's is 704, mine is 705, and Sister Zhao and Chen Xiaoke's home is 706. In addition, nameplates have also been put up on the City Lord's office, the Dawn City conference room, and the public restrooms on the 7th floor to make it easier for people to identify them."
Zhao Liying continued, "In addition, a large sign has been erected in the lobby on the first floor, marking the functions and specific locations of each floor of the Shuguang Building. Besides this, there are also signs posted on the wall in the middle of each floor, indicating the functions of that floor and the specific locations of the offices. This makes it easier for people to find their way when they want to do business here."
Li Chenglong smiled and said, "This is very well done. I never thought of these things before." Han Xiaoling said, "Actually, it was Sister Wang Jie who suggested it. My sister-in-law thought it was a good suggestion, so she adopted it. All the signs were finished and put up the next day." Li Chenglong nodded in satisfaction, asked about the situation in Shuguang City these past few days, and then leaned back on the sofa to prepare for a nap.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Han Xiaoling was supposed to get off work. Zhao Liying had gone home late at night; she also had a meeting to attend today and needed to prepare. A little while later, Wang Xiao and Chen Xiaoke came in. They were on duty at the Shuguang City Central Computer Room during the day. Chen Xiaoke had already learned of Li Chenglong's return from Zhao Liying after getting up. As soon as she entered, she smiled and said, "Brother Li, everything went smoothly, right?" Li Chenglong tidied the sofa and said, "It was alright, overall it went smoothly. Have you eaten? If not, I'll cook something when I get home and bring it over."
Wang Xiao quickly said, "Xiao Ke and I had breakfast in the government canteen on the 5th floor. We just couldn't get used to the southern-style menu in the government canteen on the 6th floor in the morning." Li Chenglong smiled and said, "That's the difference between the north and the south. We may not like it or be used to it, but those comrades from the south love it. Our northern canteen might not be something they're used to either. It's not about which side is better, but whether it suits them or not."
After handing over their work, Li Chenglong and Han Xiaoling went out and went to Li Chenglong's home on the 7th floor. Yun Lan was already awake and was playing with the child on the sofa in the living room. Qin Fangyu first made some milk powder from the alien cow for Hao Hao, and then made some simple and nutritious food for Yun Lan.
Han Xiaoling went home first, intending to wash up before coming to Li Chenglong's place for dinner. As soon as Li Chenglong entered, Yunlan asked in surprise, "Honey, when did you get back?" Li Chenglong picked up the little one and kissed him, "I got back last night, but it was too late, so I didn't go home. I went to the central computer room to write a work report and sent it out."
Qin Fangyu placed the food she had prepared for Yunlan on the dining table: "I didn't know you were back. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll make you something." Li Chenglong quickly said, "Mom, you don't need to bother. I can do it myself. Xiaoling will be eating soon too." As he spoke, he kissed Yunlan on the cheek, handed the little one to Yunlan, and went to the kitchen.
Yunlan handed the child to Qin Fangyu and went to the kitchen door: "Did your trip go smoothly this time? You said it might take more than 20 days to a month, but you're back in 10 days. Did something happen?" Li Chenglong said while cooking: "Something did happen, and it will have a huge impact on our Dawn City and even the entire human base."
A while later, Qi Guoan and Ma Tiancheng, who lived on the same floor, heard that Li Chenglong had returned, so they went to his house. Qi Guoan's 11th Division had also just finished their mission and returned yesterday. This time, they were out for 20 days, eliminating as many as 50,000 zombies, zombie beasts, and alien beasts, with only a little over 800 casualties. Although this sacrifice seems significant, the ordinary zombies are now all at level 4 or above, and their combat power has become extremely formidable. To achieve such great results with such small sacrifices is already quite remarkable.
While eating, Li Chenglong and Han Xiaoling told Yun Lan, Ma Tiancheng, and Qi Guoan about the general situation. After learning about it, the three of them looked serious. After a long while, Ma Tiancheng slowly said, "It seems that an unprecedented battle is about to take place."
