The little female soldier who was desperate to find her family became a national hero
Chapter 9 My Name is Mary
"Dindarke Caponrapie! Don't be so shameless!" Dean Maria yelled out the officer's full name, her voice like a lion that just woke up. Then she pointed her finger at Shen Yiyi and continued to yell at the officer:
"You knew clearly that she was what I wanted most, but you let me stop you! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because your father works in the Ministry of War. Don't forget that your grandfather climbed into my great-grandmother's bed to rise to high positions. In terms of seniority, you still have to call me aunt."
Oh, there's gossip! As soon as Dean Maria's venomous tongue came out, the surrounding soldiers and the guards stretched their ears to listen.
"How dare you, you bastard, play tricks on me at this time? If you dare to stop me from taking her away again, I will yell out all the bad things about your Caponrapie family. I will see how you can still stay here!"
As Dean Maria launched a barrage of verbal attacks, the officer named Dingdark's originally calm face became somewhat distorted and ferocious. He mustered up his courage and retorted loudly but weakly: "You... you are slandering me!"
When Dean Maria heard this, she suddenly changed from a cowardly lion into a cunning cat, and responded with a smile: "Yes, I was the one who slandered you." She changed her expression so quickly, as if she had studied traditional Chinese culture in Sichuan in her previous life.
"Don't take it seriously, haha, don't take it seriously." As she said this, she walked straight to Shen Yiyi, put her arm around her shoulders, and said carelessly, "Sister, I like you, come with me, I'll take you to do the verification." Then, she dragged Shen Yiyi to the distant laboratory building. At this time, the Dingdark officer no longer had the courage to step forward to stop them.
It was quiet here, and everyone watched the two of them leave. Shen Teng took the opportunity when Dean Maria put her arm around Shen Yiyi's shoulders to quietly stick her head out. It quickly exchanged a small green flower with Dean Maria's bright pink parasitic vine. This was the rule of their vine world, which was equivalent to adding "vine letters" to each other. After that, they could use the city tree of each city and the covered vine letter network to exchange information.
"Hello, my name is Shen Teng, which means the vine in Shen Yiyi's name. What about you? What's your name?" Shen Teng sent the first greeting.
"Hello Shen Teng, my name is Mary. My name is derived from the first two characters of Dean Maria. Nice to meet you." The bright pink parasitic vine Mary replied.
"You were really amazing when you intercepted it just now. You were able to separate several tentacles...!"
"You're great too. The spikes you shoot are so accurate...!"
As Dean Maria and Shen Yiyi walked forward, the two vines began to communicate happily. They chatted one after another, as if they had been old friends for many years.
Soon, Maria led Shen Yiyi to the tallest single building in the complex - the Experimental Center Building, which was the territory of Dean Maria.
Unexpectedly, not long after they arrived here, the soldiers waiting for verification also arrived here under the escort of the soldiers. Officer Ding Dalke did not show up, but his meaning was also very clear - since he gave up Shen Yiyi, he hoped that Dean Maria could quickly identify the remaining soldiers so that they could return to the front line as soon as possible.
"Haha, this Dingdark is just too thin-skinned. Once I broke up with him, he got scared, so I took advantage of him." Dean Maria smiled as bright as a daisy. She immediately arranged for her men to take these soldiers to do identity verification. Those with parasitic vines were checked, and those who had been killed by parasitic vines were sampled for biological sampling so that they could be compared with the genetic database kept by the Ministry of War.
Shen Yiyi was kept by Maria, who personally screened her. Shen Yiyi untied her sleeves and summoned Shen Teng. Maria gently cut a small piece of Shen Teng's body and put it into a machine. After a burst of blue light, Shen Teng's genetic map soon appeared in the water mirror hanging on the wall. Maria called up the data atlas and searched it briefly, and soon got the information.
"It turns out that you just joined the army last year, and the parasitic vine growing on your body is from last year. You have taken good care of it, and it has grown into an adult vine and is very strong. And your nerves are very tough, so your reaction speed should be pretty good as well." Hearing Maria's compliment, Shen Teng happily curled himself up into a ball, and then a flower bloomed on his head.
It was probably the first time that Mary saw this kind of clumping shape. She happily jumped out from Dean Maria's body and imitated Shen Teng, coiling into a clumping shape and blooming.
Seeing the two dark green and bright pink vines spread out on the table, Shen Yiyi and Maria were both a little amused. The soldiers who had finished the screening looked at each other and asked the same question in their hearts: "What is this?"
The shape of the two vines made Maria laugh heartily. She praised Shen Yiyi again, "Just now I saw you and Shen Teng cooperate in the dart throwing skills. The strength and timing were controlled very well. You two don't look like you two are just starting to coexist. Some professional soldiers with more than ten years of experience don't have as much tacit understanding as you."
Shen Yiyi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Maybe it's because I'm lucky. My affinity with plants is top-grade, so I'm better at manipulating plants."
"Any genius must be accompanied by hard work. Without hard work, the genius is nothing more than a mediocre person with a quick mind," Maria responded.
Then she took out a large experimental ceramic dish, poured in pure water and threw in a few pitch-black leaves, and continued to ask Shen Yiyi: "How about it? Are you interested in staying and working here? As you can see, almost all the young people here have gone to the battlefield, but some experiments cannot be stopped. We are in a state of extreme shortage of people now. You should consider it." As she spoke, she put the ceramic dish on the burning heating furnace.
Is this... making tea? Shen Yiyi's cerebellum shrank as she watched Dean Maria's operation. Please, that ceramic dish is usually used to handle strong acid solutions. Using it to make tea is like hanging an old man - a long life of idleness! She secretly complained in her heart.
The dean smiled mischievously: "Are you scared? It's new, drink it with peace of mind!" Soon the ceramic dish was boiling on the heating stove, and a strong aroma of tea wafted out. She took out two measuring cups and placed them in front of the two of them, then used a crucible tongs to hold the ceramic dish and began to spread the tea. "It's okay, take your time to think about it." Maria said softly.
Shen Yiyi was really a little conflicted at this time, because she had performed well in the recruit camp. In order to recruit her, the Liuli Sea Border Defense Corps promised her that as long as she served in the medical team directly under the Corps headquarters for one year, they could arrange for Shen Yiyi to travel abroad with the ship as a military doctor.
As for why one has to stay in the Corps Headquarters for a full year before being able to board a ship, it is because the Huayue Navy has a bad tradition that female recruits are not allowed to board a ship in their first year, so it is difficult to make an exception for Shen Yiyi.
Before the war broke out, she had served at the headquarters for more than half a year and was about to board the ship. However, the invasion of the Riyuan Kingdom brought everything back to square one.
"Well, I wonder if the opportunities for going to other countries in the weapons design institute where I am now are as many as in the navy." Shen Yiyi thought.
After thinking about this, she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Does our design institute have many opportunities to go abroad?"
Hearing this question, Dean Maria couldn't help but feel a little proud of having everything under control. It turned out that when she took out the pottery to prepare tea, her parasitic vine Mary had already started to ask questions to Shen Teng.
Although Dean Maria looks carefree and a bit reckless, she is so young that she can reach such a high position. This outgoing personality is her protective color on the one hand, and on the other hand, it comes from her strong background.
Dean Maria's parasitic vine Mary has been living in her body for nearly thirty years. For many things, Mary naturally knows what to do without even being reminded by a mental link.
Poor little guy Shen Teng, he is only one year old at best, and he has never seen a few vines, let alone a good friend like Mary with whom he can chat about "vine letters". At this moment, he is just like a child who has just fallen in love online and is having a happy chat.
Without even Mary asking for any more information, Shen Teng told the whole story of him and his master. Especially the question of why Shen Yiyi had to join the navy, Mary skillfully asked him about it in detail.
Of course, Shen Teng did not mention scenes that it could not understand, such as the time channel and the crossing of the rainbow bridge. He just generally expressed the most basic content that it could understand - looking for lost sisters.
"Oh, so it's to find lost relatives." Maria suddenly realized, "Since you have something to ask for, it's easy to handle." She applied her understanding to Shen Yiyi, and a hint of pity appeared in her eyes.
"Silly child, before the war broke out, our design institute had the most foreign exchanges. Whether it was tree armor for agriculture or industry used in peacetime, or tree armor for war used in the military, our design institute was involved in all of them. Moreover, many of our Huayue country's flagship products for export were the works of our design institute. Before the war, even I would travel to various countries for most of the year."
Dean Maria's words were like an enticing lollipop, emitting an alluring fragrance to Shen Yiyi.
"The Weapons Design Institute is actually a holy place for overseas exchanges." Shen Yiyi felt a little moved after hearing the answer from Dean Maria. If she had known this, she would have directly applied for the sales position at the design institute instead of going to the army.
On the other hand, if she continues to stay in the army, her experience of surviving the front line this time could be seen as a sign of her strong personal ability. On the other hand, she might be misunderstood as having a tough fate and killing her comrades. She might even be branded as a "spy" or "traitor".
After careful consideration, it seemed safer to work in the institute. After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Yiyi solemnly responded to Dean Maria: "Dean, if you think I can do it, I am willing to join the weapons design institute."
Maria was delighted to hear this, because even in the design institute, talents with top-level plant affinity are rare, and there have been only three or five such people in the more than 100 years since the institute was founded.
This Shen Yiyi not only possesses the first-class special talent, but also has extremely strong personal abilities, as evidenced by the fact that she was able to survive the war front.
"That's great, Xiao Shen. Just stay in the institute with peace of mind. I will help you with the authority, front line, and legion affiliation." Maria began to take on a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, in order to enhance her sense of belonging, she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't look at the fierce fighting of the Riyuan Kingdom now, but it is weak in the follow-up. Soon, we will switch to a strategic counterattack. With our strong manufacturing and production capabilities, we will fight back in two years at most! By then, you will be able to run around the world!" Although Dean Maria is only the dean of the Weapon Design Institute, her strategic vision is very sharp and she hits the nail on the head.
Therefore, under the kind "coaxing" of Dean Maria, Shen Yiyi temporarily settled down in the Weapon Design Institute in Sanjiangyuan City. Because the Dean was very worried that Officer Dingdark would use some tricks to coax Shen Yiyi again, he temporarily "locked" her up in the experimental building to help the remaining "old guys" in the design institute to adapt to the environment. The "old guys" here are all old experts and professors over 50 years old.
Because young people were recruited to production or combat, there were only a few staff members under the age of fifty in the institute. To be exact, there were only two people: one was Shen Yiyi, and the other was a talented researcher with great potential. She was exempted from the obligation to serve on the front line of the war because she had invented a subversive material some time ago and it was kept secret.
The war was in full swing at the frontline, but the daily design and research work in the institute did not stop. The experts and professors over 50 years old were enthusiastic about creation and design. They were anxious because they could not go to the frontline, so they poured their enthusiasm into their work.
However, they needed a dedicated weapon operator to provide real-time data feedback, and currently only Shen Yiyi could do this job. This made her the darling of many uncles, aunts, and grandpas, and she also became the busiest person in the institute.
Soon, everyone in the institute knew that Dean Maria had done a great thing this time and rescued a treasure.
This young girl actually works longer hours every day than those crazy researchers. She is incredibly quick and has a strong understanding ability. She can understand everything with just a little guidance.
She has a very high affinity for plants. As soon as she finishes her request, the parasitic vines she controls will have already done the job. What's more rare is that her own wonderful ideas can sometimes bring inspiration to those who have been engaged in the field of weapon design for many years.
Shen Yiyi is truly a rare talent, or another genius - many people comment so.
