Chapter 21 Northwest Military Region Compound
Wen Ci met Dr. Su, who was the kind of girl from a modest family, exuding a scholarly air and looking like she had read a lot of books.

The two nodded to each other in a friendly manner.

Back in the car, Wen Ci fastened her seatbelt and leaned back in her seat. Xue Li smiled and said, "Ladies, please be seated. We're about to depart!"

Shortly after leaving Haishi, Wen Ci looked at the Gobi Desert, with yellow sand rising everywhere. In her memory, the Northwest, apart from the provincial capital, had always been a poor region.

Lagging behind in all aspects.

Xue Li got out of the car, humming a little tune, glanced at the rearview mirror, and asked with some curiosity, "Dr. Su, may I ask you a question?"

"You ask."

"Everyone else is heading abroad, why did you come back?"

China is in a state of disrepair and needs to be rebuilt, but many people still go abroad, always thinking that things are better abroad than in China.

Only a very small number of people will return.

Su Wanqing said calmly, "The equipment at foreign medical schools is advanced, and the salaries are quite good. I'd like to stay there, but..."

She paused, a hint of affection appearing in her eyes: "Since the man I like is in China, I decided to return to China to develop my career."

"That's it."

Hearing Su Wanqing's loving words, Wen Ci smiled as well. The man Su Wanqing likes must be in the Northwest Military Region.

Otherwise, with her qualifications, she could easily choose any good hospital in Beijing.

After driving for more than five hours, we passed through a village called Lijiazhuang. There was a checkpoint at the entrance of the village, but they let us through as soon as they saw that it was a military pickup truck.

Wen Ci asked, "Are we almost there?"

"No, about half an hour."

"Then why did you set up these checkpoints?" Wen Ci asked curiously.

“More than a decade ago, before our Northwest Military Region compound was completed, Lijiazhuang was our last line of defense. Even after we withdrew, it has been preserved.”

Wen Ci nodded, then stretched her neck. She had been sitting in the car for six hours straight and was getting a little impatient. Thinking back to the last time she'd taken such a long journey, it was before the apocalypse; her train tickets home for the Lunar New Year were sold out, so she had to hitch a ride.

As they got closer to the Northwest Military Region, the yellow sand gradually lessened. Wen Ci rolled down the car window a little to breathe in the fresh air, while Dr. Su in the back seat was wearing perfume.

The perfume smells nice at first.

It can be a bit uncomfortable to smell it for a long time while riding in a car.

Half an hour later, Wen Ci saw a high wall made of red bricks with various slogans about preferential treatment for eugenics written on it, and there were armed sentries at the gate.

Xue Li explained, "This is our military compound. The military hospital, family quarters, and school are only about a ten-minute walk apart."

Su Wanqing asked, "Then where shall I stay?"

Xue Li replied, "Dr. Su, you are staying at the hospital. The hospital has dormitories specifically provided for doctors, which makes it convenient for you to commute to and from get off work."

Wen Ci didn't ask.

As a military wife, she naturally lives in the family compound.

The pickup truck pulled up to the entrance of the family compound. Xue Li stopped, looked at Wen Ci, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take the things directly to the training ground in a bit."

"I have a box of instant noodles."

Upon hearing this, Xue Li got out of the car and took out a whole box of instant noodles from the back of the car.

Wen Ci took it from his hand and asked, "I don't know where the assigned house is?"

"You're the only one living in the three-bedroom courtyard right now, so it's very easy to find. If you really can't find it, just ask the other soldiers and mention Brother Huo's name."

Wen Ci thanked Xue Li, saying, "Thank you for your help today."
