Chapter 555 - 555 556 Its All About the Handsome Face

Chapter 555: Chapter 556 It’s All About the Handsome Face! Chapter 555: Chapter 556 It’s All About the Handsome Face! C City, First Safe Zone.

Group headquarters, the door was tightly closed from the inside.

Ji Dong, who had been annoyed for several days, was lying inside trying to catch some sleep— the noise outside was too disturbing.

With cotton balls stuffed in his ears, he was on the verge of losing his temper and yet hadn’t lost it.

This office work was too difficult!

It was a mystery how the group captain and the political commissar had the energy to do this all day.

Since Group Captain Tang Zelin had left the safe zone on business and the political commissar had dispatched some of the main forces of several battalions to support the border, the responsibility for the slightly more stable rear security zone fell on Ji Dong, whom Tang Zelin and Qu Guo’an had always favored.

Young as he was, one could already see the potential of a mature commander in him.

If not for his age and seniority not being suitable for such a rapid promotion, Ji Dong would have been promoted earlier.

This time, when Qu Guo’an left, he thought about it for a long time and finally took a bit of a risk by entrusting the heavy responsibility to Ji Dong.

Ji Dong lived up to expectations, and indeed, after Qu Guo’an left, he resolved several crises, big and small, with outstanding ability.

However, this outstanding quality also brought Ji Dong an unintended side effect.

As he appeared among the masses in the capacity of the temporary leader of the military district in the safe zone, his tall and handsome image suddenly attracted the admiring glances of many young girls.

Just like the former group captain Tang Zelin, who frequently appeared among the citizens of the safe zone, company commander Ji Dong recently experienced a surge in romantic pursuits!

Some people, after inquiring, asked if company commander Ji Dong was still a bachelor?

He wasn’t engaged and didn’t have a girlfriend currently, and being used heavily by superiors at such a young age showed he had great potential for development.

Moreover, in the Apocalypse, where life was not guaranteed, naturally everyone was interested in a man as handsome and capable as Ji Dong.

People came to the military district every other day to deliver “warmth,” and truly, they could not be stopped.

Every day, Ji Dong not only had to communicate with higher-ups to secure various benefits for the safe zone, but he also had to deal with various emergencies, sometimes being so busy that he couldn’t even drink water.

Taking on this task, he personally understood the difficulties and pressures faced by Group Captain Tang Zelin and Political Commissar Qu Guo’an.

He couldn’t help but feel a deeper admiration for the group captain.

With so many things to handle, it was not something ordinary people could do; despite being so busy, his group captain still managed to find time to chase a wife.

It was really…

Some people, that capability, seemed to be favored by fate from birth.

Thinking of the group captain naturally led him to think of the group captain’s child, Xiao’ai.

He didn’t know if he really had a fate with the little girl, or if he had a particular fondness for Xiao’ai, but from time to time, as he passed their area, he would stop by the Ge family’s place to visit her.

For this, he specially exchanged for a small bag of rock sugar from the government’s convenience store.

Occasionally, when he visited, he would give it to the little girl.

Every time, seeing Xiao’ai puffing up her cheeks, happily sucking on the sugar cubes, he felt happier than if he had eaten the sugar himself.

With the group captain and others away, he always thought about taking extra care of this girl for them.

After lying down for a while, the noise outside seemed to have diminished a lot, so he peeled the cotton balls out of his ears.

He opened the door and asked, “Have they left?”

“Company commander, they’ve left; really, it’s exasperating.”

Outside, the guard was also speechless in the face of this situation.

Isn’t it said that their military food isn’t good, there are no perks, and it’s dangerous, and that big girls and young brides look down on them, not wanting to marry into the military?

How come, as soon as company commander Ji Dong shows up, everyone swarms him like bees to nectar?
