    The military evacuated very quickly. After receiving the order from Yaxibol, it took only an hour to transport twenty W87 nuclear bombs from the third underground floor to the CH-47 Chinook medium transport helicopter on the ground square.  After the installation was completed, we left the Dawnfire survivor gathering place at ten o'clock in the morning.  Originally, the military sent a total of fifty ordinary soldiers to accompany them this time, but due to concerns about nuclear bomb transportation, when the C-5 transport plane evacuated from the air force base 20 kilometers away, it not only took away the modified heavy truck "Sweeper"  ", and also took away thirty soldiers. Therefore, the ch-47 medium transport aircraft could take away twenty w87 nuclear bombs with a total weight of four tons.  The gathering place for Dawn Fire survivors, the central square.  Hillary, Tangji and many Dawn Fire executives watched as the transport plane and the two Apaches gradually moved away from the sky and disappeared into the horizon. Following Hillary's order, many executives dispersed and began their own busy work. Dawn  Fire has been overrun by zombie hordes, and now there is too much work to do, so everyone is busy.  Tang Ji and Hillary returned to the underground military base surrounded by more than a dozen armed soldiers. In the corridor, Hillary's office was already in sight.  "Go to my place. Because of a little accident yesterday, my mother already knew about Manila and Kristen. She doesn't want me to mess around again. I can introduce you to her today." Tangji walked in front of Sheila  Next to him, he looked sideways at Hillary and whispered.  Hillary¡¯s pace suddenly slowed down, but immediately returned to its original speed and continued walking towards the office.  He also said: "Aren't you afraid that your mother will tell the military about our relationship?" "What are you afraid of? There is nothing to hide now. Our crisis is resolved. They also got what they wanted." Tang Ji followed Hillary  pace, responded.  "But you gave Ann to them, and he knows your secret." Hillary responded quickly.  "He can no longer speak, has no limbs, and is still a madman. What information do you expect him to reveal? Orwill the military believe him?" Tang Ji said, this was not just for Hillary, but also for Hillary.  There is some sense of self-comfort in it.  He couldn't kill An, nor could he destroy An's sanity, so he cut off An's tongue. He just wanted to hide himself, but An might still expose him, and he couldn't avoid this possibility.  "Do you want to come in?" Hilary walked to the door, pushed the door open and looked sideways at Tang Ji and asked.  Tang Ji nodded and said nothing.  Hillary opened the door and walked in, then closed the door behind her back.  "At noon, invite your mother over and have lunch together." Hillary walked to the desk, took off the white gloves on her hands and threw them on them, turned around and looked at Tang Ji with a smile.  Tang Ji had a thoughtful look on his face.  He glanced at Hillary and walked to the sofa with a cane. When he sat down, he finally said, "Okay, I'll invite her over." "What does she like to eat?" Hillary turned around and looked at the desk.  He crossed his arms and looked at Tang Jizhi and asked with a smile.  "Oh I don't know, before the disaster. In my impression, she should like French food, but you know, because of this disaster, many people's eating habits have changed, and their tastes have also changed" "  "Bang!" Hilary snapped her fingers and said, "Then French food will be ready" Then she picked up the phone on the table and said directly: "Prepare French food for three people at noon." Sheila put down the phone.  Li walked around the desk again, squatted down behind the boss's chair, entered the password, opened the safe, and rushed out a large jewelry box. He walked to Tang Ji and sat down, opened the jewelry box, and looked at it.  Tang Jidao: "What would she like?" The jewelry box is divided into five layers after opening. Each layer is divided into areas of different sizes according to the purpose. They are filled with various jewelry, especially a few necklaces.  It looks even more expensive. Before the end of the world, it would be worth at least millions or even tens of millions of dollars. The diamonds are shining brightly.  Now every large-scale survivor gathering place in the world uses gold as currency. Weapons and food are also currencies when necessary. In the end of the world, they are stronger than gold, and jewelry and diamonds like gold, can also be used as currency.  One kind, and once the end of the world is over and the world begins to recover, their value will rise again, and it will definitely be far more than gold.  Tang Ji's eyes swept back and forth in the jewelry box, and finally pointed at a pair of diamond earrings and said, "This." "This?" Hillary tilted her head and looked at the jewelry Tang Ji pointed at, frowning slightly.  She smiled and said: "Choose another one." She thought Tang Ji was perfunctory because the jewelry Tang Ji chose was the lowest value in the entire jewelry box.  "No, no, no, this is just right, my mother doesn't like it very much"Too luxurious jewelry. You know, in her previous job, she would go to some formal and serious occasions. She rarely wears jewelry This is just right.  "Tang Ji gestured with his hands and explained with a smile. "Okay!  "Hillary responded with some reluctance, stood up with the jewelry box and walked to the safe. At noon, near lunch time, Tang Ji returned to his residence. In the living room, Monica was coaxing Lin and Chris who were crying.  Ting is doing recovery exercises, and Audrey is helping Manilla make lunch in the kitchen.  "Tang Ji entered the kitchen, walked behind Audrey, and kissed Audrey on the cheek. Audrey, who was cutting meat, turned to look at Tang Ji and said with a smile: "Are they leaving?" "Uh-huh, let's go.  Yes" Tang Ji responded, then hesitantly said: "MomahHillary wants to invite you to have lunch with her.  "After speaking, Tang Ji glanced at Manilla who was aside, and then looked at Audrey with a smile. "Oh, today?  "Audrey asked in surprise. "Uh-huh, they're ready over there. Let me invite you over.  Tang Ji smiled. Audrey didn¡¯t expect Hillary to invite her to dinner, but since Hillary invited her, she couldn¡¯t refuse. Although she didn¡¯t know the relationship between Hillary and Tang Ji, as a member of the Dawn Fire  Chief. As Tang Ji is a senior executive of Dawn Fire, she should go over to prevent her son from doing it in the future. Moreover, out of politeness, Audrey thought about it and looked at Man with a smile.  Nila said: ¡°Leave it to you?  is that OK?  " "I'm fine, you go ahead" Manilla glanced at Tangji, looked at Audrey and responded with a smile. She immediately turned back and shouted to the kitchen door: "Christine, come here and help me."  " When two people are cooking, if one person is suddenly missing, the other person will become confused and it is necessary to ask someone to help. Tang Ji leaned over and kissed Manilla's lips, and then put his hand on Audrey's  After walking out of the kitchen, Kristen rushed into the room to change clothes. Tang Ji walked over to Monica, who lowered her head expressionlessly and shook Lin gently with her arms.  , did not pay attention to Tang Ji, it seemed that she must have heard the conversation in the kitchen just now, "I'm sorry, honey.  "Tang Ji looked at his daughter. Then he turned his gaze to Monica's face and whispered. Monica didn't make a sound, and walked aside with the child in her arms, leaving Tang Ji with a silent figure. "Tang Ji looked down.  She nodded, raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, as if she didn't know what to say. Soon, Audrey walked out of the room. She brought a suitcase with her, and she changed at this time.  She put on a very formal black dress, her hair was tied up, and she put on light makeup. ¡°How about it?  "Audrey asked as she turned her handbag around. She looked as beautiful as a lady. In fact, Audrey was fifty years old, but she looked more like a forty-year-old woman at this time.  , her previous job required a good image, so she usually pays attention to maintenance. If it weren't for the subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she would look younger. "Mom you are so beautiful!"  "Tang Ji said in an exaggerated tone. "Don't come here don't compliment me.  "Audrey waved her hand and said with a smile. Although she said this, the smile on her face became a little brighter. "Noon, Hillary's residence. The door suddenly opened, and it was Tang Ji who pushed it open with his own hands, and  With a sideways gesture of greeting, Audrey, who looked elegant and dignified, slowly walked into the room. Hilary, who had been carefully dressed, immediately stood up and greeted Audrey. ¡°Welcome, Madam!  "    "Sorry for disturbing you.  " After the two said some polite words and kissed each other on the cheek, Hillary brought Audrey to the dining table and personally pulled out a chair for Audrey, while Tangji helped Hillary pull out the chair. " It's strange.  Audrey couldn't say she was flattered by the scene, but she still felt a little strange in her heart, because Hillary was too polite. As the top executive of a medium-sized survivor gathering place, Hillary didn't need to flatter Audrey at all. Audrey was  The City of Survivors is only responsible for internal affairs and never participates in military affairs. Hilary and Audrey sat opposite each other at the dining table. Tang Ji sat on one side. Wine glasses and cutlery were already placed on the dining table, but the food had not yet been served.  "Jingle Bell!  "Hillary picked up the bell on the table and shook it, then looked at Audrey, with a smile on her face, and said: "Wow, I often hear Tang mention Madam. It's really an honor to meet Madam. I'm sorry.  I have been busy lately, so I haven¡¯t visited. Don¡¯t be surprised.  " "No, no, it should be"?I just paid you a visit. It's thanks to your care that Tang is here. He's not in good health now, but he seems to be living a good life. Thank you.  "Audrey responded with a smile. "Oh, I can't say that. Actually, Don helped me a lot. He is an excellent doctor. I am really grateful that he can be by my side.  "Hillary said again. While the two were talking politely, the room was not opened. The waiter pushed the dining cart into the room. Tang Ji, who was on the side, clenched his hands into fists and pressed them on his lips, his eyes constantly looking at the two women.  He glanced back and forth, looking like he was about to laugh out loud. He couldn't stand such a formal conversation between the two and wanted to laugh. "Baby, are you okay?"  "Audrey noticed Tang Ji's face and asked hurriedly. Tang Ji, whose face was reddened, waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm fine, cough cough.  "Finally, she coughed twice and raised her hand to straighten her clothes. The waiter put the food on Audrey's face. Audrey turned around and said thank you with a low smile. At the same time, Hillary took out a small and exquisite  The jewelry box was placed on the dining table, and he stepped back in front of Audrey: "First official meeting, a small gift.  For you.  "Having said this, Hillary opened the jewelry box. Inside was a pair of exquisite diamond earrings. They looked very beautiful. Of course, they would be expensive before the end of the world. "They are so beautiful" Audrey  The smile on his face bloomed. He took the jewelry box with both hands and looked around at the diamond earrings inside. Suddenly, the smile on his face faded a little. He closed the jewelry box with a "snap" and pushed it to Hillary. Smile.  Then he said: "I have received the favor, but I cannot accept the things. We have rules. I'm sorry.  " "No, no, no, this is given to you in my personal capacity, please be sure to follow it.  "Hillary explained, pushing the jewelry box over again. "No.  sorry.  "Audrey shook her head again and did not reach out to touch the jewelry box. Hillary looked at Tang Ji for help. Tang Ji smiled, glanced back and forth on the faces of the two women, and said: "Please, don't be like this.  Is it formal?  Haha" Tang Ji laughed, but Audrey had no idea what Tang Ji was laughing at. "Mom.  Just accept it and say when you get back, I gave it to you, please don't do this, okay?  " Tang Ji saw that Audrey refused to accept it, so he stood up helplessly. He walked slowly behind Audrey with a cane, reached out and picked up the jewelry box. "Passive, mother.  I fall easily.  Tang Ji said with a smile, took out the earrings and put them on Audrey's ears one by one. This time it was Audrey's turn to be helpless. She didn't dare to struggle, for fear of knocking her son down.  At this point, she could only look at Hillary and say: "Thank you!  " "As long as you like it!  "Hillary tilted her head and smiled. Tangji helped Audrey put on her earrings, and then walked towards her seat. Hillary picked up the small mirror on the side and handed it to Audrey. Audrey took a look at it and looked at it again.  Hillary said "Thank you". "Let's get started. Don said you like French food. I don't know if it suits your taste. Oh there is also white wine here. You can drink some with Tang."  Hilary said, waving to the waiter who had just brought the wine in. The waiter handed the white wine to Hilary. The cork had been opened, and Hilary poured the wine for Audrey herself. Audrey took the wine glass with both hands.  Wine, his eyes kept moving back and forth between Hillary and the white grape bottle. If Audrey saw it correctly, what Hillary was pouring now was Riesling, a top-quality white wine originating from Germany. The color of the white wine was not white.  It is yellow, and the older it is, the more yellow it is. Judging from the color, the Riesling white wine Hillary poured has been cellared for at least fifteen years. The Riesling white wine of this vintage is already in the maturity stage, which is the period when the taste is best.  It has been a year and a half since the outbreak. At this time, all kinds of pre-apocalyptic foods and drinks around the world have been basically consumed. Especially high-end alcoholic drinks are hard to see again. And look at Hillary's life  , there is no sense of the apocalyptic atmosphere at all, it is still so luxurious, not only can she bring out the white wine that has been stored for more than ten years, but even the tableware is made of silver. What¡¯s more, there is a kind of wine on the dining table at this time.  A food called caviar. Caviar was known as the most luxurious enjoyment on the French table before the end of the world. Because the output was too small and the price was extremely high, but now, in the end of the world with poor resources, caviar was placed in front of her.  The black caviar is plump and looks like the top quality. Hillary¡¯s life is undoubtedly luxurious. Her life, coupled with her deliberate flattery and intimacy, always make Audrey feel like it.  She was a little wary of what Hillary was trying to do. After all, her status in the city of survivors was not low, and she had a lot to exploit.Audrey misunderstood. Hilary is not so luxurious every day. If Audrey was not Tangji's mother, Hilary would not be able to entertain her with white wine and caviar that have been stored for fifteen years. That is what she usually does.  Something that no one can bear to enjoy.  After helping Audrey finish pouring the wine, Hillary handed the bottle back to Tang Ji.  "Today's lobster is very fresh. It was just brought back from Barnegat Bay this morning. Try it" Hillary picked up the small tongs used to eat lobster and looked at Audrey and said.  Barnegat Bay is located on the eastern coast of New Jersey, where there is a permanent contingent belonging to Dawn Fire. Its main task is to go fishing and provide seafood food for Dawn Fire. Previously, Dawn Fire was besieged by zombies.  , the dispatch team has been unable to send the seafood back, and it was not until yesterday that Hillary contacted them after the gathering place was relieved.  Lunch continued. Out of politeness, Audrey praised Chef Hilary's cooking skills. In fact, the French dishes were very good and the cheese was also very good, but Audrey's mind was not on these things at all.  The two left Tang Ji aside and kept chatting about various topics about the end of the world, sometimes laughing loudly. Hillary kept flattering Audrey, while Audrey kept thinking, what does Hillary want?  "Actually Tang and I have known each other for a long time, and we would see each other every day before the end of the world." Hillary finally brought the topic to Tang Ji.  "Really? You" Audrey looked back and forth between the two of them. She didn't know the relationship between Tang Ji and Hillary before the apocalypse, because she and Tang Ji had a stalemate at that time, and Tang Ji had no relationship for more than two years.  Contacted her.  "We were in the same company, and she was my boss at that time. She was very fierce every dayhaha" Tang Ji said and laughed.  "Haha don't talk nonsense, how can I" Hilary also smiled, waved her hand in front of Tang Ji's face, and looked at Audrey, only to find that Audrey was not smiling, and her expression was even a little serious.  .  "Cough!" Hilary slowly stopped smiling and coughed slightly in embarrassment.  "Hillary, just tell me if you have anything. I can tell that this time you don't just want to treat me to dinner, right? What else? Let's talk directly. My son is here and has a good relationship with you.  "As long as it doesn't violate the principles, I will definitely help." Audrey smiled again and looked at Hillary. She wanted to put an end to the hypocrisy of the normal lunch.  "Cough!" Hilary coughed again, looked down at the food on the plate, pondered for a moment, looked up at Audrey and laughed softly: "I'm pregnant." "Well, I know, I was there yesterday  I noticed it in the office," Audrey replied immediately.  "It's just that, I'm pregnant." Hillary repeated.  Audrey frowned for a moment, as if she didn't understand, but immediately, she seemed to understand, and slowly turned to look at her son.
