Chapter 5 Neanderthals Today
Chapter 5 - Today's Neanderthals
"Young man, have you had dinner? I'll take you to the cafeteria."
The old man carried a toolbox in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He looked relaxed and natural. He was probably used to surprised looks like Chen Fei.
After all, the Neanderthal army of the Third Age civilization almost beat the humans of Blue Star to death.
"No need, I have bread!"
Chen Fei pointed to the plastic bag hanging on the suitcase.
It was filled with handmade bread given by Shen Fei. The amount was enough for him to eat two meals. If he didn't eat it while it was fresh, it would be a pity to miss the best taste.
Handmade bread does not have various additives. If it is not stored properly, it will be more likely to deteriorate.
"How can a young man only eat bread? Order two side dishes and have a drink with me. I'll treat you. I'll take you to find a dormitory later. How about it? It won't delay things!"
The old man of the Neanderthal tribe showed off the wine bottle in his hand. Chen Fei was very familiar with the short cylindrical milky white glass bottle.
The old man is not short of money, this bottle alone is enough to pay Chen Fei's one-month probationary salary.
Chen Fei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
He had just arrived, and he couldn't offend people by refusing easily. There was no harm in drinking with the old Neanderthal man. Maybe he could learn more about the situation of this air base and let him integrate faster.
"Well, Confucian scholars can be taught!"
The Neanderthal old man nodded, and took Chen Fei to the canteen of the air base with a shaky step.
The canteen is open 24 hours a day, and you can eat as you like. The meal time is flexible. There are not many people in the empty restaurant.
After asking the chef on duty in the kitchen for a pig ear, a beef tongue and a drunken fish as a snack, Chen Fei followed the Neanderthal old man to find a table and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a huge roar coming from outside.
Looking out through the glass curtain wall of the cafeteria, two propeller planes came from far away, one after the other, and landed lightly on the brightly lit runway with the lowered landing gear. They glided for a while with the remaining momentum, and then began to turn the nose and head towards the hangar.
Following Chen Fei's curious gaze, the Neanderthal old man skillfully picked up a pig ear silk with chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and said vaguely: "There's nothing to see, A-39B, a cheap big toy, buzzing in the sky like a big fly, annoying."
Chen Fei said, retracted his gaze, picked up the wine cup, and said: "Grandpa Barut, where are your family?"
On the way to the cafeteria, he learned the name of the Neanderthal old man, Barut, who claimed to be the younger brother of the Neanderthal hero Balulaka.
The elder brother Balulaka died on Sokotra Island in the first battle of the "Three Realms Fusion War".
The younger brother Barut survived the last battle when the Supreme Council's Kelunsha Palace was destroyed by the coalition forces of the Blue Star Realm and the Sky Realm, and became a prisoner. Instead, he survived to this day. After thirty years of wandering, he finally came to the 911 Air Force Base in the Hindu Kush Mountains.
Like the newcomer Chen Fei, he is a worker for a private military contractor, and he also has a pension. He doesn't have to worry about where he dies and where he is buried.
"Family? Neanderthals don't have any family. Young people nowadays are either enjoying themselves or playing games. They have long forgotten the glory of the Neanderthals."
The Neanderthal old man Barut used chopsticks to touch the battle pattern on his forehead. The blood-colored tattoo where it touched was slightly bright, emitting a silver light, and then extinguished, as if nothing had happened. He then said: "The descendants of Neanderthals have almost forgotten even the battle patterns and secrets. Come on, come on, eat the food."
He filled Chen Fei's cup again. Drinking alone is lonely, and drinking with two people is the atmosphere.
Barut is no longer the elite warrior of the Neanderthal who guarded the Kelunsha Temple. Now he is just a poor old man with no one to rely on. On the way home from work, he accidentally saw Chen Fei and asked him to have a drink with him on a whim.
"Huh? The stewed dishes taste quite authentic."
Chen Fei picked up a few chopsticks of tripe and beef tongue, and unexpectedly found that these three side dishes were not poisoned by the heretic Kari.
"Hahaha! Hahaha, do you want to make me laugh to death so that you can inherit this bottle of wine?" The Neanderthal old man Barut laughed so hard that he slapped the table. He pointed at the chef who was still busy in the kitchen and said in a sarcastic tone: "Don't trust that lazy guy. He can only open the vacuum packaging!"
So this is the truth!
Chen Fei was a little stunned. Anyone can be such a chef. He can also open the packaging.
Stopping his laughter, Barut raised his hand and covered his mouth and said: "He is a relative of Takal, the personnel director. Well, stay away from Takal. This guy is not a good thing."
It seems that it is well known what the personnel director likes.
"I heard it, Barut!"
Bang! Singh, the chef in the kitchen, angrily smashed the rag on the countertop.
He admitted that he was a relative of Takal, the personnel director of the air base, but he also cooked for everyone very carefully, okay?
The reason why the 911 Air Force Base let Singh be one of the two chefs in the cafeteria was mainly because Thakkar's fellow countryman was cheap to hire. In a world dominated by tools, cheap is king.
The other chef can cook high-end meals and his skills are okay. If he is as bad as the unpacking chef, the whole base may rebel.
"Don't be afraid of him, Carrot Head is just bluffing. Xiao Chen, have you decided on your position?"
The Neanderthal old man Barut didn't care about the chef's anger when he unpacked the food. If you don't accept it, come on. Just treat it as an after-meal exercise. He easily pressed the other party to the ground, and then "I couldn't help it on the way home, rubbing, rubbing..." My skateboard shoes!
"Supervisor Takal said that someone will take me to do the induction training tomorrow, and then determine the position."
Chen Fei just completed the registration procedure and didn't know his position yet. It is estimated that he will have to wait until the induction training is over before he can determine the position.
Barut took a piece of bread from the plastic bag that Chen Fei put on the table, took a bite, nodded and said: "Well, not bad, this bread is made by Teacher Shen, right?"
"Huh? Grandpa Barut, you also know Shen Fei?"
Chen Fei was very surprised that this Neanderthal old man could actually identify the maker of the bread.
"Everyone in the entire 911 base knows that girl. She is a good girl. Another chef can also make bread, but it is not so soft. The eggs used are from feed chickens, so you can't taste the eggy aroma. This is different. When people get old and their teeth are not good, they only know how to eat these soft things. Well, not bad, not bad, young man, bring me more in the future."
The Neanderthal old man Barut continued to take a bite with relish. It seems that he likes the bread brought by Chen Fei. After eating one in a few bites, he took another one.
The bread made by another chef Abel can knock a living person's brain out. It is completely different from the bread made by Teacher Shen Fei of the Pathan School near the base.
Chen Fei followed suit and took a piece of bread. With pig ears, beef tongue and drunken fish, and a sip of wine, it tasted good.

Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!
Chen Fei was awakened by the alarm on his cell phone. He opened his eyes and saw the light coming through the gaps of the blinds and the suspended dust flying through the light.
Dormitory B13, which adopts a modular design, is a single dormitory. It is square and only covers an area of 12 square meters. It can only accommodate a set of wardrobes, a single bed, a desk with a bookshelf, and a small shower-style bathroom.
Although the conditions are simple and there is not much space for personal activities and room for more furniture, Chen Fei is very satisfied with the dormitory.
He is just a newcomer who has just arrived. The place where he lives has stable electricity and 24-hour hot water supply. The conditions are quite good.
After a quick wash and just hanging up the towel, he heard someone knocking on the door very hard.
In fact, there is a doorbell, but people outside don't like to press it.
Bang bang bang... The force is even stronger.
