The Central Valley was not very cold in winter, but it was humid and cold.
When Gao Qi stood under the shower and let the hot water sprinkle all over his body, he felt so comfortable that he almost cried.
He did not know how long it had been since he last took a hot shower.
The battle was imminent, but he had to take a hot shower. Gao Qi admitted that he was pretending, but he really could not help it.
Anyway, there was still time. It was not a big deal to take a shower. Besides, who knew when he would be able to take a shower again?
Gao Qi put on the clean clothes that he had prepared. When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Anna with a towel wrapped around her head and a bathrobe draped over her body. She was cutting her nails with one of her long white legs.
The scene was too beautiful. Gao Qi felt that he could not control himself.
"Old Wang has been shouting outside. It seems that Wang Ke has angered him. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Gao Qi turned his head to the side and said, "I can't. He will be fine after a while. Don't worry about him."
Anna carefully looked at her toenails. Then her face darkened and she said, "It's not cut well. It's not as good as my manicurist's. Annoying. It's getting shorter and shorter."
Gao Qi turned his head to look. He did not see Anna's toenails clearly, but he hurriedly said, "It's good. It looks good no matter how you cut it."
Anna pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. Then she threw away the nail clippers and crossed her legs. She said casually, "I want to sleep. Do you want to sleep with me?"
The bathroom was in the bedroom. It was not the biggest bedroom, and the bathroom in the bedroom was not the biggest either. However, it was the cleanest because this bedroom with a separate bathroom belonged to the farmer's daughter.
There was definitely a bed in the bedroom, and now Anna was sitting on the bed.
Gao Qi swallowed his saliva. His hand grabbed the zipper, but he still said shyly, "Is this appropriate? It's not appropriate. "
Anna raised her head and rolled her eyes at Gao Qi. Then she slowly said, "Since you know it's inappropriate, why don't you go out?"
Gao Qi's face was already red, but after hearing Anna's words, his ears also turned red.
"Uh, oh, sorry …"
Gao Qi hurried out of the bedroom and came to the outer living room.
After standing outside in a daze for a while, Gao Qi suddenly raised his arm and slapped his own face. However, before the slap reached his face, his arm abruptly slowed down, and the last few fingers gently brushed across his face.
"Useless! Are you still a man? "
After scolding himself, Gao Qi turned around abruptly. He looked at the closed bedroom door and took a deep breath. He gathered his courage and was about to open the door again.
But before his hand reached the doorknob, Gao Qi hesitated. Then he raised his hand and bent his index finger to knock on the door. But just as he was about to knock on the door, someone knocked on the door.
"Captain, are you there?"
Whatever anger he had was extinguished. Gao Qi turned around dejectedly, tugged at his pants, and said loudly, "Here, come in."
Gao Qi went out. Wang Ke pushed the door open and came in. Then he said politely to Gao Qi, "Captain, the mines have been set. I have sent out a distress signal as planned. If we are fast, the enemy should be here in an hour."
"Oh, did it go well? Did you reveal anything when you sent out the distress signal? "
Wang Ke said respectfully, "I don't think so. I personally saw the farmer's wife make the call. Her fear was very real. Her crying voice matched what she said very well. I think the enemy should be here. Now our people are in position to ambush them."
"Well, that's good. Then let's wait. If the enemy comes, we'll blow them up. Is there anything else?"
Wang Ke nodded and said, "Captain, don't you want to go and have a look?"
Gao Qi smiled reluctantly and said, "Is it necessary? Oh, well, it is necessary. "
He couldn't really ignore everything for the sake of beauty. Moreover, it was a real battle. If he didn't go and hold the line, it would be too late for regrets if something happened.
Therefore, Gao Qi knew that his plan was ruined. He could only blame Wang Ke for moving too quickly. He could only blame Niu Lidong for burying the mines too quickly.
The weather outside was very gloomy, just like Gao Qi's mood at the moment.
Looking up, Gao Qi forced his thoughts to return to normal. He said, "Have the slaves been settled?"
"Yes, we have selected 50 people to participate in the battle. Although they are slaves, they were also Wastelanders before. There will be no problem for them to participate in the battle."
Gao Qi limped for a while and said, "Do we still have to put on a show? Otherwise, the enemy won't be so easily fooled."
"Yes, when we find the enemy's tracks, we have to shoot and pretend that the battle is still going on. We have already arranged everything outside."
He really didn't have to care about anything. It was good to have a capable subordinate.
Gao Qi was only left with holding the line, but Wang Ke wanted him to do more.
"Captain, although my father is a little … well, he is right. I think you should go around and take a look. Let's not talk about other things. Those slaves who have just been freed will be better. What do you think?"
"Well, let's take a look."
Gao Qi felt that he was now a mascot, but he had to be a good mascot. Therefore, he could only patrol back and forth with Wang Ke to see how the soldiers' bunkers were, whether they were prepared for the battle, and so on.
After the patrol, Gao Qi used words he didn't know to encourage the people. After completing his mission, he sat down on a chair under a porch that could see the road in the distance. He was ready to watch Niu Lidong's performance at his strong request.
Gao Qi was very tired and sleepy. Not long after sitting on the chair, he unknowingly became drowsy. Then, just as he fell asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of gunshots.
"They are coming!"
The sound of gunshots was a signal. Someone saw the reinforcements' car, so they just had to shoot directly. Anyway, they had to pretend that there was still a fierce battle, so they had to shoot.
The gunshots were not very intense, but they began to sound continuously.
Gao Qi wiped his saliva and pulled himself together. He glanced into the distance and said, "Well, they are coming. Is Lidong safe?"
Wang Ke seemed a little nervous. He stared into the distance and said, "Lidong is hiding in the bunker. He must be safe. They saw the car! Well, they really stopped. "
"What do you mean they really stopped?"
Wang Ke said anxiously, "Lidong said that when the enemy arrived, they would definitely send someone to investigate first. It was impossible for them to rush in directly. He was right. Oh, he even judged the position of the enemy's car!"
Gao Qi asked curiously, "How are the minefields laid out? I think the enemy's position is very scattered. Can they be wiped out at once? "
Wang Ke said in a daze, "I didn't know, but now it seems that everything Lidong said is right. Now it is really possible to wipe out the enemy. They are here! Captain, look, it's going to explode! "
